SpoilerDark and Troubled Past - Abandoned by his original parents because he was believed to be evil, raised by the leader of a dark secret society, Ashren definitely has a dark and troubled past.
Dark Is Not Evil - Ashren is broody and cold hearted, but he isn't exactly evil, morally gray is more like it.
Evil Albino - Ashren is more a combination of this trope and the one below, especially given it is suggested for the "Antihero Albino."
Heroic Albino - See above.
The Sacred Darkness - Ashren lives in the shadows, practices Black Magic, and believes that dark power is not by nature evil, it is all in the way it is wielded, so definitely a part of this.
Conventionally an Orphan - See above about being abandoned.
The Idealist - He ultimately believes that what he and the Blades do is good, even if their methods are not always as such, and whole heartedly believes some day Eorzea will not need him or his methods.
Merchant Prince - The Blades (and by extension him) control a number of subsidiary shops and businesses, so while he is in no way on par with the Syndice he is sort of a Merchant Prince, though this isn't public knowledge at all.
The Stoic - Doing what he and his kin do, he has been forced over the years to remove all emotion from the equation and remains unphased in dire situations.
Scars Are Forever - Ashren is covered in scars from his training with his father.
Good Scars, Evil Scars - Scars are cool.
