Lucky Chance Ashford

About

Probability bends like rubber around Lucky Chance Ashford, granting him impossible victories that devour his soul piece by piece. Beneath his gilded exterior lies a man haunted by the brutal arithmetic of his supernatural gift: every miraculous win extracts a corresponding toll of personal devastation.

Backstory

Three funeral parlors refused Lucky Chance Ashford's business after coffins mysteriously cracked open during services, revealing lottery tickets worth millions stuffed inside the corpses' clothing. His "gift" manifested the night his twin sister died in a car accident—the same accident that should have killed him, but instead launched him through the windshield directly into a casino where he won $50,000 on his first pull of a slot machine. Every subsequent stroke of fortune has come paired with devastating loss: lottery wins followed by friends' deaths, stock market windfalls preceded by lovers leaving him, business successes built on the ruins of others' misfortunes. He's learned that luck isn't a blessing but a cosmic debt collector, and he's been running from the bill ever since, leaving a trail of extraordinary gains and unbearable grief across every city he's fled.
