Background Story:
Ascher Phoenix never lacked for charisma, sociability, or a positive attitude - he just couldn't dance. Rejected by dance crew after dance crew, Ascher was often relegated to backup dancer for the backup dancers. That all changed when he started practicing his breaks in the abandoned thrift store off Broad Street. As he was practicing, he kicked over an old gilded box - and out from the velvet toppled a pair of gilded, winged sandals. They were hot to the touch; though in his hands, they began to emit a glow and change their shape, forming a pair of familiar sneakers. Incredulous, Ascher felt like it was a sign - he needed to wear these to his next tryout.
Now fleet of foot, Ascher seemed to be able to achieve any gymnastic feat. He felt as though he could touch the sun - and his dances flowed with fiery intensity. Finally, Ascher could give body to the music his soul was singing, and his fans could feel the heat.
