(LUKE HEMMINGS 24, MALE, HE/HIM) ⮕ Hey, isn’t that [ASHLEY TATE]? I heard that they were a part of the crew. According to the wiki it says they’re the [PHOTOGRAPHER] of the group. Avid fans say that they’re [GOOFY], but that they can also be [SENSITIVE]. Maybe that’s because they’re a [CANCER]. This gossip forum says they joined the group because [BEING A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER IS HIS DREAM]. I wonder if that’s true. I also heard they [DO] believe in ghosts. I wonder if their time in arcane inc will change that.

• Ashley James Tate was born in the south side of Chicago, Illinois on July 9th, 1996 to Mara Hugh, and Leighton Tate.  • Was raised in a very toxic, and low class home. His father is a heavily abusive alcoholic, and drug addict. His mother passed away when he was fourteen. He lived in a state of constant, and serious physical, sexual, and mental abuse from the ages of 14-18. When his mother passed away, he was left with his father. Before her death, she was the focus. She would protect Ashley at any cost, even if it meant she would be the subject of his wrath.  After her deatH, there was no more protection for the young boy.  • The curly blonde was left with one thing from his mother when she passed The only thing that his father never knew about, and something that he would have surely sold for drugs if he were to ever find out about it. A camera. Thus, starting his passion for photography. He keeps a picture of two of them in his wallet on the day she gave him the camera, which would be the last day he’d ever see her again. The boy woke up the next morning to the sounds of an ambulance. His mother had tried before, but knowing his father, he would never call an ambulance unless he had to. He didn’t even have to see to know what happened. He knew. • Ashley has some street smarts, he basically has had to fend for himself for over four years of his adolescence after his mother passed away. His father worked very little, most months the both of them were scraping up the money for rent. Even being a very young child, he felt an obligation to his father.  He learned to get his resources in any way that he possibly could (ie: stealing, odd jobs).

• On his eighteenth birthday, Ashley packed up all of his things. He went on a trip around the pacific north west with nothing but his camera, a phone, and the clothes on his back. He was homeless for about a year and a half before getting recognition on his instagram. He was offered jobs left and right, finally getting the recognition he deserved. He moved in with a friend, and was able to afford new equipment. It only went up from there.

“Huh?” Aidan had been in his own little world, but was brought back to reality by the sound of the other’s voice. It took a second to register before a look of concern crossed his face. “Do you think…? There’s a ghost here that likes to steal stuff. I’m not saying for sure, but…”

“i don’t know, but it’s either that.. or i’m just extremely stupid” he looks around quite frantically at this point, letting out a sigh, “you know what.. no, i’m like actually convinced that a ghost stole my shit”

ashley has already misplaced his camera, having put it down for just a moment to set up his stand. he furrows a brow in disbelief “have you.. seen my camera? I swear i just put it down right there..” he smiles over to the other before letting slight panic set in, “fuuuck” he groans.
