Appearance other: Augmentations to his eyes provide "Claims" scanning and surveillance to pinpoint desired "Adjustments". Amputated arms replace with augmented limbs which release various methods to subdue "claims" such as - Shock Wave, Compression Lock, and Augmented Strength.
Personality: Unpredictable. A liability to most, an asset to some. Prone to exceed necessary force. His words, much like actions are never wasted and always with purpose.
Background: Asher Stein was born in the slums. Raised and nurtured by the harsh realities of life, where most had lived, shunned and hidden by the more fortunate of society. He was a survivor and learned to rely only on himself. His later years saw him earn less than respectable work as a Loan Shark and Enforcer for various underground organizations.
It was a less than reputable living to say the least, but it suited him just fine. This lifestyle would eventually, like most in his line, catch up with him. He found himself incarcerated in Wake View Penitentiary, a maximum security facility. Much like the world he was plucked from, Asher survived like he always did. It wouldn't take long for unwarranted eyes to take notice. Where some saw criminal, others saw opportunity.
It was during his time served Asher discovered he was diagnosed with terminal bone marrow cancer. When an opportunity to partake in a medical trial, he was told would cure his cancer, he seized the opportunity without much other words. He had endured enough, he was not going to let life string him out like a withered leaf and send him to fade away in the wind.
A private organization which had been held anonymous provided the treatments which would implant nanites into his marrow to combat the cancer cells. It worked exceedingly well, the treatment was the most painful experience of his life, but Asher began noticing results almost immediately. Within 48hrs the nanites nearly decimated the cancer cells leaving only the faintest trace.
One could say it worked almost too well, as the nanites began eating through not only his cancer cells, but his bones, muscles, and flesh. Emergency amputations on both his arms was administered as the nanites were extracted from his body. Augmented prosthetic arms would his replacement.
The nameless organization that had put him through the treatments and augmentations viewed this not as providing a new lease on life for someone less deserving, but as investment. It was a trying time for Asher as he adjusted to his new acquisitions. He knew nothing of his saviors, only that they had provided all the funds for his treatments.
It was when he checked out from the facility he would be given an envelope from a man in a suit in passing, without so much as a word. The envelope simply said one word. "Obey."
Little did he know, Asher's life would never the same. Unknowingly hired as a "Claims Adjuster" for a private organization, he would be delivered one name every week. He knew nothing other than being compelled to find them and "Adjust" them, payment left on his coffee table the day after completion...every morning.
He attempts to follow through with the life he knew, but when he exceeds their tolerance, again he is delivered a envelope with the word "Obey" and all resets.
Asher's world is one of violence, secrecy, and in need of answers.
