Hi! Sorry, I may have missed a step in here someplace -- this has all been ICly driven rather than OOCly planned, so I haven't brought it up directly with a mod in a modly capacity.
Details are in Asch's app, but essentially cloning in Asch's world involves taking half of an individual's matter to create a copy; as a result, it rendered both Asch and his clone unstable, so they're basically dissolving. Asch heard from people in-game that it's possible to use crystals to cure terminal diseases, and Allura in this thread suggested he speak to Piphron to see what Piphron actually needs to make Asch not die.
What Asch would explain to Piphron is that it's not just him; he and Luke are physically the same person and they're slated to combine into one body at some point or another (which they consider 'dying'). They both want to remain their own people, so what Asch really wants is to make them both stable in two separate bodies. The complication is that they don't really have a terminal disease; he wants to make permanent an arguably unnatural state of being which involves someone else. (At this stage we are playing them as being more stable if they remain in physical proximity with each other, but they're still slowly degenerating).
Luke has a different alignment, so ICly Asch is expecting to have to bring Luke and his Arehtei into things, but right now he's at a stage of wanting to know what it would take.
