Well, I don't want people to think I have favourites. Ha ha. So I wanted to explain that it's just that Asher comes first alphabetically.
Funnily, there has been one character in every game that I wrote out of order - Ewan, Lance, and Kav. Ewan and Lance were last because their plot development was a bit different than the other routes and I wanted to have everything else out of the way before I started them. Kav just was added way later in the process.
But I think that unintentional pattern of the one outlier character is funny too.
