ASHLEIGH, JAMES, PATTERSON
25//Male//Heterosexual// Unknown // Recruiter & Art Teacher// Chord Overstreet
POWER INFO: While he registers to those who can sense abilities as one of the evolved, he displays no actual talents or abilities. Whether he simply has abilities that are so minuscule they don't affect anything, or they are dormant and have yet to be triggered is, is unknown. Most are under the impression that his abilities simply has remained dormant, and could possibly remain so for his entire life. However, there is also a growing consensus that simply believe his abilities are so minuscule (whatever they maybe,) that they are entirely useless.
GENERAL APPEARANCE: He tends to dress in a rather presentable manner. Often adhering to the fashion trends of the season, but not to the point of being a couture snob. A bit on the vain side, it takes him a minimum of forty-five minutes to get ready in the morning. This often involves several outfits, fawning over his reflection like a well-kept cat, and several runway struts for an audience of one (himself.) He doesn't really have a color range, but tends to avoid neon colors. His appearance is often dictated by the events for the day, and he's not above wearing a costume to get his points across.
When it comes to class, he often tries to be professional without really being professional? He's not going to wear a band t-shirt, but he's certainly not going to wear a button up and a tie. Comfort is almost as important to him as looking good is. The only time he goes out of his way to dress in an impressive manner is when he's recruiting, and even then he often wears a pair of jeans to dress down his professional wear. He stands tall, walks confidently, and general wears a smile or a smirk with all of his outfits.
MUST HAVE APPAREL: He has a pretty extensive collection of concert t-shirts which don't usually see the light of day in a classroom setting. Despite not being religions, he almost always has a rosary on his body. Doesn't really ever explain why. He loves aviators. He can't live without them. Will often wear them indoors because he can, and this often leads him to singing "Sunglasses at Night."
PERSONALITY: Most of the students who meet Ashleigh will tell you he's one of the most likable teachers on staff. He's fun, he's energetic, and he's relaxed when it comes to his approach on teaching. Lessons are often thrown together in the moment, versus relying upon staunch lesson plans devoid of personality. He likes to engage his students mentally and emotionally, and provide to them an environment where they can thrive without ceiling to keep them down. He's a free spirit that challenges common convention in a peaceful manner, versus radically pressing against the status quo as to rile things up.
While he can come off a bit goofy at times, he is just as comfortable in a formal setting as he is a causal environment. Approachability and kindness are what make him an ideal recruiter for the Bellefonte Academy. While some have hidden agendas, are are just batshit crazy, he's simply looking out for the good of his fellow mutants. He truly believes in the Bellefonte Academy and his fellow staff members. It is because of this drive that he is often the most eager to volunteer when an recruiting opportunity presents itself (as, truth be told, he's possibly the least intimidating out of the current roster.)
His demeanor often leads others to believe that he is rather unintelligent, and this couldn't be further from the truth. While he values intelligence, and stimulating conversation, he's a man who likes to indulge in passion and his impulses much more. While not self-destructive, he can often come off a bit absentminded at times. He can easily get lost in an adventure, forgetting important duties or responsibilities. He's a very loyal, and when he's not distracted, quite responsible. But his attention span is rather thin at best, and it's not hard for him to lose his focus when it comes to general activities.
EXTRA QUIRK: He enjoys dancing. If there's music on, there is always some sign of visible movement. Whether it's a subtle sway in his hips, or his feet or fingers tapping along to the beat. Often he can be seen mouthing the lyrics to a song if he knows them.

CHILDHOOD:
On a cold day in February (the 7th, to be exact,) Ashleigh James Patterson entered the world. He was the second child to Lucas and Rebecca Patterson. His father was a successful environmental law practitioner, and partner at a rather modest sized firm. His mother was a homemaker and a very loving woman. There was no shortage of happiness and glee within the home. As the years passed, he was introduced to new siblings as time passed. While the family wasn’t wealthy, they certainly did not live from paycheck-to-paycheck. Occasional vacations were had, usually tied to his father’s work, and many of them turned into learning opportunities.
By the time he was eight, he had already been to thirteen states. Even at a young age, he had passion for life and exploring. Often the jokester of the family, he enjoyed being silly and entertaining his siblings and parents. His love of art was something that was born very early in life. The family fridge was often full of his expressions of his vivid imagination.
His other love in life, quite obviously, was his sister. Renee. While he enjoyed the company of all of his siblings, it was obvious from the moment she was born that the two shared a special connection. He made himself her guardian very early in life.
ADOLESCENCE:When the family was first approached by the school, they were unsure of how to handle the situation. How do you deal with a stranger telling you that your child isn’t normal? The Bellefonte trackers had identified that Ashleigh was one of the many children that had been touched with an evolutionary ability. However, when they met him they were shocked that he didn’t display any abilities. Nobody was quite sure what to make of the situation. If it hadn’t been for a display from one of the recruiters, his parents simply would have written the school off. Rather than simply sending their son away, the family joined him in Kalispell months later.
When it came to children at the academy, he was a bit of an oddity. While everybody had some sort of gift to display, Ashleigh was seemingly without. This made him an easy target for those who felt the need to lash out (as, let’s face it, there were many who weren’t exactly happy about their placement in the academy.) He didn’t lash out, nor did he react. He genuinely felt bad for those who didn’t have the support network that he had been gifted with. As a teenager in the school, he began to reach out to those around him and try to make their lives better whenever possible. When holidays came around, he often invited classmates to his home.
During his junior year, he was joined by his sister. He was absolutely delighted. Unlike Ashleigh, her evolution was quite obvious. Renee’s body constantly absorbed ambient energies, and often forcefully expelled it when she reached her limit. The family garage was leveled when the ability first manifested itself. While this made her quite dangerous for some time, he never left his sister’s side. Like most teenagers, he went through his up and downs. He had his first loves, and his first tastes of heartbreak. When he graduated, he did so near the top of his class, which surprised most. He laidback and sunny disposition often lead others to believe he was intellectually dull – which was far from the truth.
ADULTHOOD: When he graduated, instead of running away, he stayed local. Attending Kalispell college, he did his four years and graduated with a major in Painting (while, self-professing, not being all that great of a painter.) After he completed his teaching certification, he returned to the school. Not long after, he also became a recruiter for the school. Between classes, and recruiting runs, he can often be found roaming around the school, and the grounds, seemingly at random, always looking for a new adventure to indulge in (or, finding a place to do some ‘herbal’ meditation.)
