Write a function `ascii_value` that takes a single character as input and returns its ASCII value. The ASCII value of a character is an integer representation of the character in the ASCII table.
#### Example Usage
```python [main.nopy]
print(ascii_value('A')) # Output: 65
print(ascii_value('R')) # Output: 82
print(ascii_value('S')) # Output: 83
```
#### Constraints
- The input will always be a single character.
- The function should return an integer representing the ASCII value of the character.
