Name: Aidan Archimedes Alexander
Species: Witch
Height: 5"6 (growth spurt: please dear god)
Age: 17
Birthdate/Zodiac Sign: Aries (Pisces/Aries Cusp)
Hair Color: Darkish red.
Eye Color: Blue.
Personality: Aidan has an uncompromising sort of charisma. He is usually the center of some focus in whatever social group he finds himself a part of. He is a natural leader, and an even more natural manipulator. These are traits he doesn't particularly utilize, because Aidan is also rather shy, reserved, dreamy and thoughtful. Many people've thought that Aidan was the kind of kid it was easy to bully, and they've found out otherwise. When he's riled, he's really, really riled. He's got an explosive burn-you-up sort of temper, although it takes a while to get his back up. He's very determined, very courageous, and very callous, although his first instinct seems to be to be kind. He's conflicted. There are dualities. He rarely goes out of his way to start a fight; they just seem to come to him. Or start around him.
Description: Aidan has pale eyes, a stark contrast to his charcoal-dark eyelashes and his dark eyebrows. They're idealist's eyes, dreamer's eyes, and he can be shockingly intense. Especially to those who know him! He's got a determined chin, rather delicate leonine features, and ruddyish hair that's usually quite endearingly mussed up. His body is well-built, but those who're going to pick a fight with him don't usually look past the height. To their detriment.
History: Aidan was born in the middle of a bar fight -- that's how his cousin likes to tell it. His mom was playing pool and somebody made a joke about pregnant ladies and she flipped out, her water broke, and he squirmed on out in order to see the hilarity of a pregnant lady beating some jackass down with a pool cue. This is also kind of a family joke, because Aidan, although he can more than handle himself in a fight, isn't particularly violence-seeking the way some of his cousins are.
His family tree is rather extensive. He's the seventh son of a seventh son which is guaranteed to be special, to be lucky, and his family is heavily Irish/Scots, so they're well aware of this. He knows of the Night World via his father's side of the family, as they're not "lost" witches, the way certain members on his mother's side seem to be. Aidan's the shortest one in his family, and there're many, many jokes about how he just can't seem to make a single damned thing unless it's going to be used to destroy some other thing. Ever since he was a kid, Aidan has been trying out different activities, because he just wants to create something.
As far as witchery goes, he's a talent, although few think he's a particularly strong one. There's talent there, but he just doesn't seem to be able to use it, so it's just as if it wasn't there. He's had dreams about his past lives, and they honestly disturb him; especially when he wakes up, covered in blood. It's the lack of control, the thirstiness, which really does him in. Sometimes, Aidan remembers what he is/was. Most times he doesn't.
Social Connections: Any witches who wanna be connected, drop me a note, yo. Ditto shapeshifters, vampires.
Model: ......... Johnathan Rhys Myers
Likes: creating things, winning, strife, really badass action flicks, camping, art, cooking, reading, big gatherings, weapons, making weapons, diplomats
Dislikes: short jokes, big gatherings, Texan jokes, losing his cool, being bullied, being forced to do something he doesn't wanna, Desperate Housewives, diplomats
Quotes: "You wanna go? Fine. Go. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out -- aaagh!"
"Well, well, well. All of you just for me? Doesn't seem fair."
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But I want the beholder to see beauty."
"I... And ... With the... There's a... Er, I... Yes, just... Oh... Ah... whuh... .. Ah hah."
Optional Information: Old Power -- War. He never tried to keep the peace in the old days. He sometimes tries now, but it doesn't usually work.
He has the ability to cause strife just by being present. And conflict, struggle, makes him stronger if he's around it. If it's directed against him, it makes him still yet stronger. He'd be almost normal if it weren't for the fact that those who fight against him just wind up making him quicker, faster, stamina bulks up, just becomes more and more powerful until he exceeds even their limits. This heightened strength lasts for a while, but fades eventually, and then he has to pick another fight.
He can, with minimal effort, divine the outcome of a fight -- a battle. He can shift the flow of fortune -- fortune favors the brave -- from one side to another. This won't necessarily mean that his side (if he has a side, and isn't just interfering) will get away unscathed. He can't control HOW the other side will lose or HOW the side he's chosen will win.
Aidan can take away somebody's martial prowess. He can, also, in the middle of a fight, doesn't have to be physical, steal that person's talent or a power of that person's for himself. For instance, if he were fighting with Hell, and he was distracted enough for even a second, Aidan could take Nethiel's ability to open portals to Hell. This is particularly difficult to do. He can read surface thoughts, although his speciality is instinctually knowing how to get somebody else to argue or fight.
More coming.
