Ashton Greymoore

 is an earth genasi barbarian and a member of the Campaign Three adventuring party. Ashton is played by Taliesin Jaffe.

Appearance
Ashton has green stone skin and short, dark-purple crystal hair. They have a prominent hole in the left side of their head filled with slag glass, through which an opalescent brain can be seen, and the eye on the cracked side of Ashton's head is milky white. There are cracks across Ashton's left side, patched together with what looks like slag melted gold (like kintsugi).

Ashton has piercings made mostly of nails, carries multiple leather pouches, and wears a lot of well-worn leather with red fabric lining. The back of his hand-decorated jacket says "JUST DON'T". He carries a big glass hammer which has "FUCK OFF" engraved in it. On Ashton's pant leg is a patch with a symbol of the Clasp.

Personality
When Campaign Three opened, Ashton was living in the Fownsee Hollow neighborhood inside the Core Spire of Jrusar, in what would be considered destitute surroundings by anyone of means. It is a location where people come or are thrown to be forgotten. However, they saw it as colorful and fun, and had decorated their room with cast-offs and bright trinkets of little actual value.

Ashton described himself as "cranky and unpleasant", and FCG immediately agreed with him. Ashton recognized that he could be difficult with people. He identified his main goals as self-reliance, and freedom to move about.

Background
Ashton was hired to investigate the disappearance of a party of adventurers who had gone missing in a mine. Arriving at the assigned place, they discovered Fresh Cut Grass, along with several corpses scattered across the camp.

Chapter 20
As of, Ashton is in debt with multiple third parties.

Fresh Cut Grass

 * &rarr; Main article: Relationship between Ashton and Fresh Cut Grass

Ashton was hired to investigate the disappearance of the party of adventurers who had gone missing, and discovered Fresh Cut Grass along with the corpses of their comrades. Ashton emotionally supported FCG and helped him to bury his dead comrades, and FCG followed Ashton to their home. The two have remained close ever since.

Fearne Calloway
Ashton and Fearne seem to get along with one another, and enjoy each other's mischief. They pickpocketed her when they first met, stealing a large earring of the Allhammer's symbol, which she herself stole from a pachydan priest she met on her first day in Jrusar. She offered to let Ashton drink some of the liquor out of her hair after Bertrand Bell accidentally threw it at her.

Laudna
Unlike various other members of the party who seem to find Laudna scary or off-putting, Ashton immediately takes a liking to her and is apparently fond of her particular aesthetics, reacting favorably to her showing off of the dead rat puppet Pâté de Rolo and even going as far as to call the performance "amazing". In turn, Laudna seemingly appreciated their enthusiasm and, following a prank in which a drink was spilled over Bertrand Bell's clothes, cast Prestidigitation in order to pour the alcohol into their glass (despite the fact that the prank did not involve them).
