[*][b]Eyes:[/b] Blue [*][b]Height:[/b] 5’11” [*][b]Body Type:[/b] Athletic. He is quite toned and fit. [*][b]Clothing Style:[/b] Aiden has an acquired high taste level (not to mention a high budget), so you'll always find him dressing neatly and in style. He doesn't necessarily dress "fancy", but his clothes are always well tailored and fit him to a tee from the best brands. Whether it's sweaters in the winter, tee shirts in the summer, or the perfect pair of jeans, he makes casual look classy.[/list] [color=2D7DD2]Personality Traits[/color] [list][*]Aiden is a risk taker through and through. He's never afraid to shy away from a new adventure or challenge, and always is searching for his next adrenaline rush. [*]Though he might dumb himself down at times, he actually has quite a keen intellect and is clever when it comes to things that he's passionate about. Especially Lacrosse- he's calculating on the field and is always ten steps ahead of his opponent. [*]Aiden bases his opinions and actions heavily in realism. He sees everything for what it is, and doesn't try to over exaggerate or romanticize situations. [*]A practical thinker, the blonde will always be completely honest with you, even if it is to your own detriment. [*]Due to his upbringing he is extremely independent, and that shows in his thought process. In Aiden's mind, it's every man for himself. [*]He's very strong willed and assertive- it's either his way or the highway. [*]He can be quite the smooth talker and is really good at persuading others to get what he wants. [*]Surprisingly, Aiden is very observant and perceptive. He has the ability to see how someone else is feeling and empathize, which you wouldn't expect. Especially for those that he cares about, he's very protective and will keep their best interest in mind. [*]Despite all of his negative traits, at his core Aiden means well.[/list] [color=2D7DD2]Biography[/color] [indent]Denise and James Howard were a match made in heaven. They met in college- a private and fancy institution- and fell in love. The two were completely in sync, almost the same soul, and aligned on every need and want. It didn't take long for them to get engaged and married, moving to New York City shortly after to start their careers. They amassed a large amount of money in a short period of time, James earning a hefty sum from his growing role at an advertising firm, and Denise selling some of the most lucrative properties in the tri-state area. This afforded them the position to move away from the city after a few years in order to start a family of their own. They settled in Columbus, a middle ground between Chicago and New York so that James could easily travel for work, and they had three children, Aiden coming in at the middle of the pack. When he was young, Aiden had a happy childhood. Even though they had a nanny during the day, the blonde and his siblings loved spending evenings with their parents when they got home from work. But as time went on, things turned into more of a routine- evenings together grew shorter and shorter, turning into only weekends or an hour or two during the week. His father traveled and his mother went from one open house to another. As a middle child both literally and metaphorically, this lack of face to face with his mom and dad caused Aiden to feel unseen. Livvy was the baby of the family who always got what she wanted; her mother's angel and father's little girl. Spencer was the eldest and the wisest; had excellent grades and always made his parents so proud. And as for the blonde boy, it didn't matter what he did- his mom and dad were too busy to care. It was in middle school that he began acting out. It started in small ways, like messing with his uniform or speaking out of turn in class, the attention he received from faculty and peers alike fueling his actions. It slowly but surely turned into him getting into fights and skipping lessons. Like everything else, his parents tried to throw money at the problem: promising him material incentives for good behavior and stellar grades. But it made things worse, their middle child ending up in detention, getting suspended, and even in the hospital on some occasions. Denise and James thought they had been doing right for their children by enrolling them in the best schools and giving them everything in the world and more. Even though they spoiled Spencer, Aiden, and Livvy rotten, they failed to realize that more is not always better. And that was the case for Aiden: money couldn't buy his happiness. All he wanted was the attention and approval of his parents. One would hope that with time that things would get better, but Aiden still couldn't hide from the sickening feeling at the pit of his stomach that he wasn't good enough. Plus, his mom and dad didn't exactly make the effort for him to think any differently. Especially when his older brother went off to a prestigious Ivy League, Aiden continued to find new ways to be reckless and impulsive. It was a silent cry for help. The reputation he created for himself at Liberty was one not to be misunderstood. Although he had a good heart, he used his popularity to distract from his sad reality. Drugs and alcohol helped him escape for just a few hours at a time and to be honest, the only thing that kept him in school was Lacrosse and he only maintained the minimum GPA required to be on the team. But now, with transferring to Rosefell, who knows what stunt he'll pull next.[/indent] [color=2D7DD2]Family[/color] [indent][img]https://i.imgur.com/RxQGutP.png[/img] Denise Howard (Mother | 47 | FC: Charlize Theron) [indent]A successful real estate broker- one of the best in the Columbus area.[/indent] James Howard (Father | 48 | FC: Milo Ventimiglia) [indent]Chief Financial Officer for a well known advertising firm.[/indent] Spencer Howard (Older Brother | 20 | FC: Chord Overstreet) [indent]A junior at Meadow University studying Finance.[/indent] Olivia "Livvy" Howard (Younger Sister | 16 | FC: Kathryn Newton) [indent]A sophomore at Rosefell High (previously Liberty High).[/indent][/indent] [color=2D7DD2]Misc.[/color] [list][*]Aiden drives a Jeep Wrangler, gifted to him by his parents for his 16th birthday.

Some of my favorites costumes from college include Power Rangers with a group friends (I was obvs Pink), Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy with my roommate, and a 60's housewife.[/color][/hider]
