Name: Ash Crimson Canon: The King of Fighters Tell us a tiny bit about them!: I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY but in short: he's simultaneously a flippant prettyboy troll and a genuinely sweet little brother. He also comes from a fighting game series where having some sort of superhuman ability or power is the norm (though we do also have Shingo Yabuki who believes he can Get powers by training). Ash is THE character that got me invested in KOF though ironically when I first played KOF as a kid I didn't care about him much because I was playing games from before his debut. Fun fact, Ash was introduced to the world 20 years ago.
What fruit is in their orchard?: blueberry,, lowkey animal coding in the fandom has got me Which animal are they going to transform into?: a white fox! Foxes are regarded as tricksters in mythology all around the world, how can I not?
Game goals: Ash deserves friends,, with how blatantly flirty he is to men his own age maybe he'll even get a boyfriend. i also just want Ash to finally be able to relax, while he may have a mission here the stakes are much lower. Anything else?: more fun facts about Ash and a meme at the end!
he's French, though technically his official profile says his origin is unknown since his birthplace is uncertain.
his birthday is Valentine's Day (2/14). This is a day after the birthday of Shermie, KOF's other popular French character.
Ash's hobby is nail art. The intricate designs on his nails you see in most of his artwork? He did those by hand! Most likely if another character asks him to do their nails, he'll gladly accept. ;)
the backstory of how Ash was designed is pretty funny. Capcom in the late 90s wanted a character for Street Fighter III who would have the same broody antihero appeal as KOF's Iori Yagami. Enter Remy, angsty, nihilistic, and very pretty French boy who fills the same gameplay niche Guile did in SF2 (charge inputs and great neutral). Then, for KOF 2003, SNK wanted a protagonist who would contrast Kyo and K' before him. So they gave us Ash Crimson, who is suspiciously similar to Remy. Bringing things full circle is the fact Ash stole the source of Iori's powers in KOF XI, so the similarity was probably fully intentional.
