[/hider][b][color=fdc68a]Backstory:[/color][/b] Aaron's upbringing was a cold, tired cycle of entrapment in burdens too big for a child. He'd grown up in a poor city rife with crime and violence. Ronnie's father had been out of the picture months before his birth, a criminal always on the run from the consequences of his violent felons. Ronnie's older brother, Vincent, was the provider of the family, a policeman in the nearby force. The job was dangerous, but he liked to believe he was making a difference in the world he loved so dearly. He retired young when he was shot in a gang raid. The bullet shattered his right kneecap, leaving him with a permanent limp and severe PTSD. Ronnie's powers first presented themselves strongly during this time. At first it was when Ronnie would sit next to Vinnie, rubbing circles in his back until he fell asleep. Then, as time passed, Vinnie fell asleep faster and faster, sleeping more and more restfully, ridding the process of the shaking and sweats. Ronnie wouldn't be able to tell you when he found out that it probably had something to do with powers, but he could tell you his first experience dreamwalking detail for detail. He'd fallen asleep late that night, when he suddenly opened his eyes into a different world, in what appeared to be a warehouse. Screaming and gunshots filled the air, and in the middle of it all stood his brother, frozen helpless. Ronnie had fought his way through the crowd, and the moment he touched Vincent the dreamscape fell away. From then on, Ronnie helped Vincent through his night terrors, and aided his mother to sleep when her worries kept her up at night. About a year ago, his mother was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. Ronnie was first sent to Skyline Academy after the diagnosis, his mother refused to let Ronnie watch her wither away. Ronnie begged to stay, but eventually lost the argument and was sent to Skyline.

Ronnie has the ability to manipulate aspects of a person's sleep and consciousness.
•At a touch, Ronnie can make his target fall asleep. Ronnie can determine how long and how deep they sleep, but rarely forces sleep onto a person, preferring to use his powers benevolently. His powers also serve to wake people up. 
•Ronnie can dreamwalk, but only if he is asleep. Dreamwalking allows him to be inside someone's dream, physically interact with the dreamscape and dreamer, and influence dreams. However, when he dreamwalks into another person's dream, he can't leave until the other person wakes up, and can feel any pain and sustains all damage in a dream. Damage done inside a dream does not apply to his awakened form, but carries into any other dreams he walks into. To heal himself, Ronnie must be healed by a healer in a dream, or go into a regenerative sleep. This can take a long time, depending on how injured he is. If Ronnie dies in a dream, he becomes physically unconscious and unresponsive until his dreamwalking form is healed to a stable state. Ronnie can't dreamwalk while awake, but can watch other people's dreams in his mind's eye. Ronnie is rarely able to influence dreams when awake.
•Ronnie is able to project the dreams he is in into the physical world. This is mentally exhausting to him.
[color=fdc68a][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Ronnie is a gentle soul, if a little quiet and kept to himself. Some take his detachedness as aloofness, but really Ronnie has extreme social anxiety. He intensely enjoys using his powers to make others happy, from relieving the traumatized of their nightmares, or creating realistic dreams for those who seek escape from the waking world. Ronnie constantly looks and feels tired, due to the amount of "awake" time he spends when asleep. Ronnie enjoys connecting with others, but has a difficult time doing so. Those that get close to him see his sarcastic but shy sense of humor, desire to please, and his loyalty.
