Creative Expression:
Ashton's immersion in punk culture has fostered a love for creative expression. He is drawn to various art forms, from music to visual arts, and is always eager to explore new ways to express himself. This creativity extends to his use of his mutant powers, as he constantly searches for innovative and imaginative applications for his size manipulation abilities.

Defiant Spirit:
Ashton's love for punk culture has instilled in him a defiant spirit that refuses to bow to authority or societal norms. He is fiercely independent, always standing up for what he believes in, even if it means going against the grain. This rebellious nature fuels his drive to make a difference and carve out his own path in a world that often misunderstands and marginalizes mutants like him.

Loyal Friend:
Despite his rebellious nature, Ashton is a loyal friend who values the connections he makes with others. His experiences as a mutant and a punk enthusiast have taught him the importance of having a strong support network, and he will go to great lengths to protect and defend those he cares about. This loyalty helps him bond with his fellow students at Xavier's School for the Gifted.

Quick-Witted:
Ashton possesses a quick wit that allows him to think on his feet and navigate challenging situations with ease. His sarcastic humor and ability to adapt rapidly to new information make him an engaging and unpredictable individual.

Character Sheet

Powers

Size Manipulation:
Ashton has the mutant ability to shrink and grow at will inanimate objects that he touches. He can manipulate the size of objects to suit his needs, whether it's shrinking equipment for easy carry down to 1% of its original size (e.g., reducing a 1-meter-long object to just 1 centimeter) or enlarging a small object to as much as 10x of its original size (e.g., increasing a 1-meter-long object to 10 meters) to act as a shield. Ashton can also shrink or enlarge parts of complex objects as long as they are distinguishable by an obvious joint or some other break in the structure. It is important to note that objects requiring an external power source will consume more or less power after being manipulated, depending on their altered size.

However, there are limitations to his power: the size changes are temporary and depend on Ashton's proximity. Objects maintain their altered size only as long as they are within a 30-foot radius of Ashton. Once outside this range, they will revert to their original dimensions within 5 minutes. Additionally, he cannot manipulate living beings, items within living beings (an earring, a spearhead), or objects larger than a car. Using his power extensively can also cause mental strain and exhaustion, making it crucial for him to use his ability judiciously.

Note: In the real world some items made larger might collapse or break for being unable to support their own increased weight. While that could happen with Ashton's power, it is also similar to Ant-man's in that that might be the case, but sometimes comic book rules apply. Particularly if the result is more humorous that way.

Incomplete Power Control:
Ashton is still learning to control his size manipulation powers, which can sometimes lead to unintended consequences or difficulties in high-pressure situations. His lack of full mastery over his abilities can result in objects being resized inaccurately, unevenly, or at inopportune moments. This incomplete control over his powers can present challenges for Ashton, especially when he is trying to use them in combat or to overcome obstacles.

Limited Formal Education:
