Ashford is the kind of guy you would expect to be an ass. He's been on countless magazine covers and been in the top 5 of Salem's most eligible bachelors and best looking lists for the last five years. He does charity and is always showing off his dimples for the press even if they are practically stalking him on a 24 hour basis. You can learn all sorts of lies about him from tabloids and even those don't seem to bother him. Thus, people expect he's a huge lie and underneath the handsome exterior he's a monster. Reality is that Ashford is fun loving and likes what he does. He doesn't so much care for the attention but the big bosses at WAM make money off of him and a lot is expected of him. So when he is alone he's a bit melancholy and exhausted.

He always had the natural ability for elemental magic. Fire being his weakest and wind being his strongest. At the age of seventeen it was clear he had talents that were above what was common and he was sent to weather school. His abilities struggled with where they wanted to go and one night, when angry, before his twentieth birthday he became sad and a rain cloud practically followed him around all night. Thus his birth into Cloud Magics, or magical 'Nephology'. Which range from manipulating clouds in artistic form, speed and even at times coloring, creating rainclouds, fog and mist, and with the help of others even a tornado.

He's 6' 2½" with golden blonde hair and tropical colored eyes. Sometimes more blue, sometimes green, but always bright. He's a powerhouse of good looks. Handsome and very noticeably so with his tough Herculean sculpted muscles and longer hair with a smile that kills with natural dimples. He wears casual wear to the best tailored clothes and even if he wore rags people would probably find it an art form on his body. Modeling is a side hobby and he is recognized everywhere he goes.

Cirrus is an eight pound Arctic Fox that has been seen on the cover of various animal magazines or posing in photoshoots alongside of Ashford. The two are best friends and Ashford will not decide something without first consulting Cirrus who, like himself, is very good natured and happy to make others happy before putting themselves first. Cirrus does, however, have a temper that Ashford does not and is not afraid to defend and act out of character.
