Always brandishing a contagious grin he does his best to keep everyone around him in high spirits. He is aware that his size and mass can sometimes be intimidating to others, so he uses this information to perpetuate the mythos surrounding him as being the most intimidating man on campus. Despite all the rumors surrounding him, Aaron never goes out of his way to hurt a living soul instead prefering to lose himself within his books and studies. To those who are unfamiliar with him personally are surprised to learn that Aaron is actually quite brilliant delving deep into Philosophy, Stratagey, and other worth while academic pursuits. Despite his size and stature Aaron actually despises violence prefering to intimidate and frighten.[/indent] [i][color=4682B4]Appearance[/color][/i] [indent]It is apparant to anyone that sees him that Aaron is a walking mass of muscle. Having always been large built Aaron seems almost unnaturally thick taking great strides in order to maintain his image. Because of his size he tends to be out in front of his friends when a fight breaks out and as such he tends to dress himself in the appropriate clothing. These generally being t-shirts, semi loose fitting jeans and boots. When in "uniform" he is adorned with heavy plates of metal covering his vital organs as well as his iron fists which he adequatly deems "The Cestus" giving him his nickname of Stonewall, for when he is in full regalia he appears as a giant wall that cannot be breached.[/indent] [i][color=4682B4]Ringtone[/color][/i][indent] Battle Born-Five Finger Death Punch[/indent] [i][color=4682B4]Background[/color][/i] [indent]As a child Aaron rather large and stocky although he lacked the muscle that he has now. As many people know children can be cruel and as such Aaron was consistantly picked on for his chubbiness which caused him a great deal of emotional pain which in turn fueled his irrational anger. For years he harbored and bottled his anger until the day he savagely beat one of his bullies into the dirt with his, still raw and infintile, Guardian abilities. It was Samuel that stoped him, it was Samuel that showed him that he could turn his anger into humor, and it was Samuel that gave him the insperation to work out and gain the bulk that he so despretely desired. During those early years with Samuel, the pair could be frequently seen working out by lifting heavy things around the neighborhood and never walking anywhere always in a dead sprint and it continued in such a way until the pair met the others. Aaron took it upon himself to be the guardian of the group knowing full well what it was like to live without someone on your side, and with his new found bulk and size Aaron became as intimdating as his resolve. When Samuel died Aaron and Olivia took it upon themselves to act as the bonding pair of the group. During his time at Oakridge Aaron continued his strenuous workout routiene despite the strain it put on his but some how he continued on with little major issues. [/indent] [hider=Tropes][list] [*]Cultured Badass [*]Big Fun [*]Drunken Sailor [*}Fool for Love [*]Bruiser with a Soft Center[/list][/hider] [i][color=4682B4]Memories[/color][/i] [indent][b]Olivia Celestine[/b]- There are a thousand words that Aaron could say about Olivia and none of them would do her justice. Aaron has seen and been with his share of women in his short lifetime but none have had the impact that she has had on him. Her zest for life matches his own and yet there is so much more to her that Aaron believes that even she knows. He strives daily to live to the example that she exudes both as leader and companion. [b]Kade Sicario[/b]- Of all of the Helston Squad Aaron views two people that truly need his protection, Kade is one of them. Viewed as his own sister Aaron pays special attention to her needs, espically with her being a rising star in Oakridge. He often voulenteers (with or without her knowing) to be her personal security detail whenever she performs. [b]Rui Liu[/b]- Rui...is an odd one. She is consistantly pulling pranks on him as if she has some malicious intent, as if he had done something to her in a previous life. Odd. [b]Elvira Ravenwood[/b]- Of all of his friends Aaron values Elvira's intellegece above all else. He often confers with her on matters of the mind, philosophy and similar matters are just some of the intellectual debates that the pair often converse over. [b]Scout[/b]- ??? [b]Alabaster Zabek[/b]- As it was said before there are two people Aaron believes truly need his protection Alabaster is the other. If Kade is viewed as Aaron's sister then Alabaster is viewed as his little brother. Aaron tries his hardest to bring Al out of his shell and in turn Al has become an invaluable ally[./indent] [i][color=4682B4]Weapon[/color][/i] [indent]The Cestus' are a pair of metal gloves that extend up to his elbows. These giant hunks of metal that encase his equally massive hands dramatically increase his already impressive strength by utilizing two pistons as well as being modified to channel his spirits directly into his hands.[/indent] [i][color=4682B4]Spirits[/color][/i] [b]Because of the nature of his spirits all of Aaron's abilites give the following atributes: Taunt, Might, and Protect.[/b] [indent][u]Blessings of the Earth-Father[/u] [i]Effects:[/i]Earth [i]Description:[/b] One of Aaron's less noticable abilities as it is one that is always occuring, the spirit takes shape as an ever present aura around Aaron giving him the blessings of the ancient entity known as the Earth-Father. The terrifying presence that Aaron gives off inspires weaker enemies to run away and stronger ones to attack him. [u]Earth-Father's Fury[/u] [i]Effects:[/b]Earth [i]Description:[/i]This spirit forms itself within Aaron's fists as a swirling form earth magic. When Aaron slams his fist into the ground he sends out a wave (like a series of depth charges) that target one creature in his path, anything else caught in its wake is knocked aside and left confused.[/indent] [i][color=4682B4]Trivia[/color][/i] [indent]-Aaron is a veritable renisance man when it comes to academia.
