About the Character
Character Personality: Despite having been alive for a very short time, he has experienced horrors unlike anything most of us can even think of and felt pain far greater than most will ever feel. The harsh experiences he has gone through have definitely left their mark on this young boy. Aaron has developed a deep mistrust of anyone he does not know, no matter how friendly they may seem at first (he has learned that looks can be deceiving). He stays as far away from other people as he can, and when he has to be somewhere crowded he stays silent and does his best not to catch anyone's attention. When alone, he rarely speaks, and when he does he often speaks nervously; notably, Aaron usually speaks with a slight stutter. He's a sweet boy, he really is, he just doesn't know where to start when it comes to trusting others, or making friends, which can lead to him feeling lonely at times.
Aaron has developed a deep bond with his mother, and as such around her opens up a great deal more than usual. In the presence of his mother, one is much more likely to see Aaron's sweeter side; he is innocent and playful, like most children of his physical age (or perhaps just under that), and when with his mom he loves to play games like 'tag' or hide-and-seek. His mother also plays a key role in his learning to trust strangers; almost without exception, Aaron will only trust a stranger when his mother deems it ok to do so. That is, as soon as Jasmine says it's ok to trust someone, Aaron will immediately take her word for it and do so, as he knows his mother's more mature mind is sure to have good judgement in whether or not to trust someone. If that trust is broken in some way, however...there's very little chance you can get him to trust you again.
Finally, despite his nervous demeanour, Aaron is still very much similar to most other young boys in terms of his personality; he's curious, easily intrigued, and prone to investigating anything he finds particularly interesting with little or no thought into whether or not it'll be dangerous to do so. If danger should arise, however, it's most likely that he'll just try to flee rather than fight. His lack of bravery is something that can frustrate him at times, though...he has aspirations of being a great warrior, or even a hero, someday. He wishes he was braver than he is currently, but his developed fears are proving hard for him to forget about.
Character Appearance: I'll break this up in accordance with his forms:-
Human Form: A somewhat frail-looking boy, he doesn't look too sickly but doesn't look as healthy as he probably should be, either. He is quite short, being 4'10'' (approx.) in height, and this coupled with his skinny build makes him look quite weak. His skin is quite pale, and the only blemishes on it are light freckles on his cheeks and a black tattoo of the roman numeral for 14 on his right palm. His hair is a very pale (and slightly dull) blonde in colour, and is a little long, reaching his shoulders and always appears somewhat untidy. His eyes are the same beautiful brown as his mother's...well, the right one is, anyway; he is in fact blind in his left eye, and as such it is a cloudy bluish-grey in colour (including the pupil). Not that you'll see that eye very often, anyway; Aaron wears a simple brown leather eye patch over that eye. As for his clothing, he wears a simple white t-shirt and blue button-up overshirt, with greyish jeans and simple black boots on his feet (note that, because he is almost always on the move, his clothing looks a little 'well worn', but not quite tatty).
Felis Flieginidae: In this form, he resembles an adolescent lion (one which has not developed a full mane yet), with light golden fur and eyes the same colour as his human form. He also possesses feathered wings, which give him a wingspan of approximately 3.5 metres when fully extended. He stands at just under a metre and a half in height at the shoulder in this form, and his tattoo is located on the underside of his front right paw.
White Chocobo: Just a white chocobo, plain and simple (though a little smaller than your average adult chocobo). His tattoo is located under his right foot. If you were curious as to what he looks like in this form, he looks a little like this.
Merman: His upper body and face are the same in this form, but his lower half is replaced by a pale turquoise fish-like tail. In this form, he also possesses a fish-like dorsal fin running down his back.
Neoshadow: He appears identical to a Neoshadow Heartless in this form, with the exception of his eyes, which retain their brown colour, and the tattoo on his right palm.
Creeper: In this form he is almost identical to one of the Creeper Nobodies, with one notable exception; he lacks the insignias all other Creepers have on their 'hands'. His tattoo is, as ever, located on the palm of his right hand.
Battle Statistics
Character Position (Hero/Neutral/Villain): Neutral
Character Abilities:
I'll break this up according to his forms again:-
Human Form:-
Fleeing Dash: Aaron is able to boost his speed for two posts; he will most likely only do so in an attempt to escape from enemies. Passive.
Felis Flieginidae:-
Flight: In this form, naturally, Aaron is able to fly. Passive.
Chocobo:-
Carrier: He is able to carry just one passenger at a time on his back for up to four posts; after those four posts, he will be too exhausted to carry his 'passenger' any further, and his overall speed will also decline for two posts after that while he recovers.
Merman:-
Water Breather: In this form, Aaron is able to breathe water (as a downside, he is unable to breathe air, restricting him to the water). Passive.
Neoshadow (Heartless):-
Quick Slash: Aaron runs forward at great speed to slash at an opponent, dealing damage. Two post cool-down.
Now You See Me: He disappears for just one post, and reappears in the next, either further away (in an attempt to flee) or in closer proximity to his chosen target so as to take them by surprise (that part, however, depends on who he's fighting, and how inclined they are to being caught off-guard). He cannot perform this action for at least three posts afterwards.
Creeper (Nobody):-
Now You See Me: Same as his Neoshadow form (see above).
Shadow Flail: Aaron runs at an opponent and wildly flails his elongated forelimbs to deal damage to anyone within a two metre radius (unless, of course, they can get out of the way in time). Two post cool-down.
Character Weapons:
The Harpy's Talons: A set of five throwing-knives acquired and given to him by his mother fairly recently; they have black blades and their hilts seem to have been carved from some sort of mineral like Jadeite.
Character Summons:
Hoofie - Pegaslick Dreameater: A Dreameater Aaron befriended a while ago; it acts not only as a partner in combat, but as a companion when Aaron feels lonely. Can be summoned for up to eight posts at a time, and once gone cannot be summoned again for at least five more. Hoofie's abilities are as follows:-
Carrier: Hoofie is able to carry two riders on his back, whilst both on the ground or in the air, without tiring. Passive.
Shining Wings: Hoofie fires several thin beams of light at an opponent to deal damage; this attack has a range of five metres in the direction Hoofie is facing at the time of firing the attack. Two post cool-down.
Character Racial Ability: DNA Mutation - Thanks to the genetic processes Aaron has undergone, he is able to mutate his own DNA and change his own species at will, into any of the forms listed above (but only those, aka he cannot acquire any new forms). He must wait at least two posts after transforming before reverting back to his human form (he cannot switch directly from, say, his Chocobo form to his Felis Flieginidae form without first reverting back to human form) and must then wait a further two posts as a human before transforming again. He may choose to stay in a certain form for up to six posts before automatically reverting back to human form (this 'fail-safe' mechanism was built in to ensure that the DNA of one of his secondary forms would not take over, leaving him stuck in that form).
Character Strengths (1 required): Superior adaptability to different situations/environments, very speedy and agile
Character Weaknesses (1 required): Low defences in human form (thus takes heavy damage from enemy attacks), too easily frightened
Character History (Minimum of 10 sentences required.):
Before Aaron had been 'born', his mother had already been through many horrific experiences. She was the thirteenth test-subject, and the only one to survive longer than a week, involved in a secret experiment seeking to create the perfect 'living weapon', which would serve to defend that world (which Jasmine has not named since) from creatures of Darkness, like Heartless and the like. Although Jasmine was a 'success', it was decided by those responsible for her genetic modification that a 'back up' would be made, derived from her DNA, just in case she took a turn for the worse. Thus, her DNA was taken...and Aaron was created.
An embryo was developed artificially, and genetically modified further to have the alternate forms the scientists desired (some of which varying from Jasmine's). Once perfected, the embryo was put through a different kind of genetic modification...one meant to artificially age the subject. They aged Aaron up to his early teens, after which they finally allowed Jasmine to spend limited time with him. As she was his mother, and the only one to show him kindness in that horrific place, Aaron grew very attached to her almost immediately. However, neither of them could really be happy; both of them were still undergoing frequent experimentation, enduring torturous levels of pain... Until one fateful day, when Aaron's mother snapped.
Aaron's mother broke out of the labs with him in tow; she protected him as they escaped, and killed everyone who tried to stop them. Aaron did none of the killing, and while it disturbs him to recall, he does think of it as justified, for everything himself and his mother were put through. Following their brutal escape, the two of them have been on the run ever since, in order to keep away from those survivors whom are likely pursuing them. Aaron loyally follows his mother to this day, as she is really the only one in these cruel worlds that he can really trust. However, he does still possess a desire and hope that, one day, they will find a place that they can truly call home.
