From the wikipedia entry about Evil Dead:
Bruce Campbell as Ashley "Ash" Williams: Ash is the last survivor of the group and the main protagonist of the film. Ash is a young man who only wanted to take his friends on a trip into the woods, unaware of what to expect.
From the Quote given for the TvTropes page on Evil Dead:
"The fact is that you can't hold Ash to the same standard that you hold mere mortals to. He is not only just a complete and total badass; He is the standard by which all future badasses will be measured. So if he wants to jump onto a department store trampoline and fire fifteen perfectly-aimed shotgun shells in rapid succession while soaring twenty feet in the air, he can do it. You and I can't; but you and I are also not Ash. And while it may seem impossible for him to do the things that he does and kick as much ass as he is famous for doing, I assure you that it isn't. Why, you ask? Simple. Because he's Ash."
That's who Ash is. As for what he is: A deadite-killing badass Crazy Awesome pseudo-psychotic man with a chainsaw on one arm that may or may not be directly responsible for ending the world, and after that saving the world in the past. You'd like him, Derm.
