Relationships
Cal
Cal is Asher's companion which is the official term for a human with latent wolf powers who is the mate of a werewolf, although Cal prefers being called his boyfriend. Cal mentions that werewolves are usually skittish and careful around their human mates but that his latent powers protect him. He casually remarks during the pyjama party that Asher shredded his last pyjamas, indicating the intensity of their relationship.
Powers and Abilities
- Shapeshifting: Like all werewolves, Asher can intentionally or accidentally transform into a wolf at any time.
- Superhuman Speed: In Chapter 1, Kala throws a ping pong ball at you with inhuman speed and you catch it just as easily. Markus also comments on your own superhuman reflexes. Given that both Kala and you are still pledges with only latent wolf powers at the time, it can be assumed that wolves are just as fast or even faster.
- Superhuman Healing: Channing states that she/he is able to heal faster than humans after being wounded during the brawl. Thus it can be assumed the same counts for Asher.
- (Pack) Telepathy: Asher and the rest of the pack use pack telepathy to communicate, especially while they're in wolf form. It only goes both ways if both want to share their thoughts with each other. You and Channing also use Soulmate telepathy where you can hear his/her thoughts all the time and she/he can hear yours even when you don't want to project yours.
- Cold Immunity/Body Warmth: Werewolf blood runs hot which is why they usually spar naked. If werewolves wear underwear or normal clothes, it's out of courtesy. In Chapter 10, you have to wear warm clothes for the summit or you will freeze if you decline them. Asher and all other wolves are more protected against the cold by their werewolf blood.
- Scent Tracking: Werewolves can track the scent of various animals or humans.
- Lucid Dreaming: Werewolves can lucid dream and see the future in their dreams. If a werewolf lucid dreams, they can control how the dream unfolds, and there are no rules and limitations that forbid them from acting on their desires.
- Dream Walking: Werewolves can dreamwalk into the minds of other werewolves.
Weaknesses
- Silver and wolfsbane: Both can be lethal to werewolves.
- Feral: Each wolf has a risk of going feral. This means they lose their humanity and turn into a beast that needs to be put down as they would be a danger to themselves and others.
- Smoke bomb: In Chapter 12, Channing tells you that the Hunter's smoke bomb ruined his/her sense of smell so she/he doesn't know where you are going.
- Ultrasonic Whistle: In Chapter 19, Markus uses an ultrasonic whistle to put you in a state of confusion and pain and Channing told you that if you didn't change from your wolf body to your human body you would go deaf.
