It wasn't until high school the pair formed an unconventional friendship. Ever the recluse, RJ had been reading on the bleachers when Vanessa's protests reached his ears between songs. Investigating, RJ quickly discovered one of the jocks pressuring Vanessa behind the bleachers. Though the altercation ended with RJ having his ass handed to him, it was enough to get the jock to lay off of Vanessa, starting the odd friendship. The pair enjoyed reading together beneath the Hanging Tree, and RJ often excitedly introduced Vanessa to any new music he enjoyed. It was also RJ who unfortunately introduced Vanessa to cigarettes, a habit that deemed him a bad influence in the eyes of her parents and siblings.[/color][/sup] [color=#2e2c2c]-[/color][/indent][/hider][/INDENT][/cell][cell][INDENT][sub][sup][sub][h3][b][color=black] C H A R A C T E R S Y N O P S I S[/color] [color=lightgray]C H A R A C T E R S Y N O P S I S[/color][/b][/h3][/sub][/sup][/sub][/INDENT][sup]________________________________________________________________________________________[/sup] [COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]Every high school needs a John Bender, and Mather Memorial has theirs in the form of Robert James Scott. Born on the wrong side of the tracks, Robert, or RJ as he prefers to be called, was raised in the Beau by both his parents. Although in his father's case, he was raised more by a swift kick to the ass than he was any sort of nurturing words. An outsider among Mather Memorial's various cliques, RJ was considered by a burnout early into his academic career. Often aloof and unmotivated in class, his teachers quickly lost their patience with him leading to RJ spending most of his academic hours outside of the classroom. When the principal eventually grew sick of seeing RJ outside his office, the developing boy was sent to the library where he could at least put in some man-hours. In actuality, RJ wasn't unmotivated, it was just that most concepts presented in traditional academics bored him because of how quickly he understood them. His less than stellar grades were a result of not having any passion for learning as he was rarely challenged. However, working in the library introduced RJ to a love of reading that he didn't know he had previously as he became lost in the works of Austen, Defoe, Shelley, Swift and numerous others. At home, music was often RJ's escape from the screaming match in the living room. While books offered numerous exotic locales that weren't his stale smelling bedroom, music actually drowned his mother's screams and the crack of his father's belt. By the time he entered highschool, RJ had taken to carrying a walkman with him wherever he went and it was often his go to escape should he find himself in a situation or company he didn't enjoy. Though a recluse, RJ wasn't unfriendly and often found himself sticking up for the down trodden in the hallways of Mather Memorial. In fact a large part of RJ's unpopularity among his peers was due to refusing to bow down to the varcity teams, often leading to more than a few blows exchanged in the hallways of the secondary school.

Unlike either of the two legendary figures, however, RJ's strength doesn't come from physical muscles but rather a form of tactile telekinesis. RJ's superhuman strength is created by psionic energies which manifest a bioelectric field that surrounds his body. This field extends around whatever RJ touches and allows him to lift objects far beyond his physical capabilities. As the field extends around whatever RJ is touching, it also bolsters that object, at least while in contact with RJ, allowing him to grab a car by its fender without it shearing off from the rest of the car. This enhanced bioelectric field furthermore protects his body from harm, displacing force from blows and impact to greatly reduce their degree of harm or even completely negate it.[/indent] [sub][b][color=lightgray] L I M I T A T I O N S || W E I G H T, S I Z E[/color][/b][/sub] [INDENT]Like the body itself, even the mind has limits. The larger the object, the more strain it puts on RJ and his mind. This correlates to both the weight and size of the object. To further explain, even if RJ were capable of handling the weight of a skyscraper, he couldn't expand his bioelectric field to envelop the building. At his maximum output, RJ is capable of hoisting an object of three thousand pounds above his head though not without strain. In the same vein, the largest object he could expand his field around is that of a station wagon.[/INDENT] [sub][b][color=lightgray] W E A K N E S S E S || C O N S C I O U S N E S S, I N S U L A T O R S[/color][/b][/sub] [INDENT]As RJ's powers are psionic, they require his mind to be conscious and aware to perform his abilities at even an involuntary level. Due to this, when RJ is unconscious or even asleep, he's rendered completely human and is completely vulnerable in these states. Since RJ's powers are linked to both his mind and body's bioelectric field, instances that disrupt either of these can temporarily render RJ powerless. Insulators can reduce the range and effectiveness of RJ's abilities, even completely blocking them if he were subjected to wearing them.[/INDENT][/INDENT][/COLOR][/cell][/row][/table][hr][/COLOR][/hider] [hider=Noah Gallagher - Crestwood Hollow (Unedited)] [color=indianred][CENTER][h1][b]A R K[/b][/h1][/CENTER] [table][row][/row][row][cell] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/iToWAjL.gif[/img] [color=black][sup]__________________________________________[/sup][/color] [sub]Noah William Gallagher Jr. [color=black][sup]_______________________________________________[/sup][/color] 16 [color=black][b]|[/b][/color] ♂ [color=black][b]|[/b][/color] Heterosexual [color=black][sup]_______________________________________________[/sup][/color] Physical Profile[/sub] [color=black][sup]___________________________________[/sup][/color][/center][hider=] [sub][b]//Basics:[/b] [COLOR=darksalmon]• [b]Height[/b] | [i]5'-8"[/i] • [b]Weight[/b] | [i]142 lbs[/i] • [b]Ethnicity[/b] | [i]Caucasian[/i] • [b]Hair Colour[/b] | [i]Brown[/i] • [b]Eye Colour[/b] | [i]Green[/i][/COLOR] [b]//Piercings/Tattoos/Scars:[/b] [COLOR=darksalmon]• [b]Scars[/b] | [i]Noah has numerous scars dotting his body, mostly around his joints due to the drastic changes his body undergoes when shifting. Althought the scarring is faint, it can be seen upon close examination.[/i][/COLOR][/sub][/hider][CENTER][SUB]Abilities, Skills and Resources[/sub] [color=black][sup]___________________________________[/sup][/color][/center][hider=] [sub][b]//Abiliites:[/b] [COLOR=darksalmon]• [b]Animal Mimicry[/b] | [i]Noah has the ability to take on the appearance, traits and abilities of any animal provided he has sampled that animal's DNA. The sampling of DNA can be as simple as touching the animal or by other means such as ingesting it. As such, Noah is capable of transforming into most domesticated and farm animals. Transformations can be extremely painful and the pain is directly proportionate to how much Noah's body has to change to accommodate his new form. The pain is also affected by the difference in mass between Noah's body and that of the new form. The shedding and gaining of mass are extremely painful and often leads to transformations being imperfect as Noah tries to maintain his mass despite the animal being either unnaturally larger or smaller than normal. Frequent animal forms become familiar and their transformations become notably easier. Currently, Noah only has three 'Familiar' forms that he can transform into, a large black dog, a river otter, and a fruit bat. The dog is the easiest form for Noah to become while the bat is much harder despite being a 'Familiar'. Shifting from similar forms is easier on Noah's body. For example, shifting from a dog to a wolf is relatively easy, likewise shifting from a lion to a tiger also doesn't put much strain on Noah's body. In this same vein, Noah can change the colour of his fur, feathers or scales on the fly with little to no effort. As Noah gains more control over his abilities, he'll be able to transform in different and more specific ways. Notably, Noah will be able to selectively take on various traits such as a dog's sense of smell or an owl's vision. Further practice and experience will allow Noah to combine DNA strands and animal traits to create new creatures or even to emulate the appearance and abilities of mythical, legendary or folk creatures.[/i] • [b]Limitation(s)[/b] | [i]By far the largest limitation to Noah's abilities is his threshold for pain. Due to the immense changes his body undergoes when shifting into an animal, his bones are broken and refused, his skin tears and stitches itself back together as fur, feather or scale covers it. New transformations are far more painful than those that Noah has become accustomed to but even then, his 'Familiar' transformations still take a toll on him. For this reason, Noah cannot perform rapid changes without risking the loss of consciousness or permanent damage. The cycle of the moon has some effects on Noah's abilities, with a full moon causing him to act erratic and forcing him to transform. A new moon can have the opposite effect, potentially making it impossible for Noah to transform. A notable limitation of Noah's is that his clothing does not, and can not transform with him. Thus when shifting, it is often in his best interest to first disrobe. Depending on the nature of the transformation, clothes can hinder and add to the pain of transformation. Furthermore, remaining clothed will likely lead to their destruction and therefore leaving Noah without clothing to change back into. In his human form, Noah is physically limited due to hip dysplasia in his left hip that requires him to walk with the aid of an arm crutch. This ailment is a permanent injury suffered from his first, unexpected shift which has made Noah more than a little cautious when it comes to using abilities outside of familiar forms. Secondly, while human, Noah requires glasses to see due to suffering from several eye conditions all stemming from retinitis pigmentosa or 'RP'. As such, without his glasses, Noah has next to no vision and should they be removed he's essentially blind. Another of Noah's symptoms is an aversion to bright lights and even in moderate sunlight, Noah can be found wearing heavy shaded lenses. Lastly, Noah has next to no night vision, thus making it nearly impossible for him to see at night and given his aversion to bright lights, he generally avoids being out after dark.[/i] • [b]Weakness(es)[/b] | [i]Noah has a highly volatile reaction to silver with the precious metal capable of completely blocking his abilities and causing physical harm upon contact. As such, Noah has to avoid contact with all forms of silver. Likewise, the poisonous plant, Wolfsbane, is especially harmful to Noah and even physical contact can cause immense discomfort whereas ingestion can range from making Noah physically sick to killing him depending on the amount ingested. Lastly, due both to the frequent migraines caused by his optical ailments and the pain of his hip dysplasia, Noah has been prescribed several different painkillers and his body has rapidly increased his tolerance. As the dosage has been upped, so has Noah's reliance upon the drugs and as such, he has a developed a dependency and an addiction to his painkillers. Should Noah not take his painkillers by his scheduled time, he begins to experience withdrawal and his temperament begins to rapidly dissolve.[/i][/COLOR] [b]//Skills:[/b] [COLOR=darksalmon]• [b]Photography[/b] | [i]While his footing can be a little shaky at times, Noah has overcome this and become an accomplished photographer acting as one for the school paper and helping when needed for the yearbook.

Noah occasionally writes for the school paper, the 'Weekly Memorial', but more often aids in editing it and the yearbook.[/i] • [b]Speaking[/b] | [i]As a member of student council and the school's radio, Noah has developed considerable public speaking abilities.

Thin and lanky, his arms and, legs both appear over-sized to his torso. Although his left leg is shorter than the right due to his hip dysplasia. Thick, heavy framed glasses sit firmly on his nose, several pieces of scotch, duct and electrical tape placed at various points to hold the damaged frame together. His hair is quiffed, a dark brown colour with various streaks of lighter brown and blonde throughout due to time spent outside. His skin likewise holds a healthy sun-kissed tan, with several freckles starting on the bridge of his nose and spreading across his cheeks under either eye. A light five o'clock shadow can be seen growing in although around his cheeks and often kept shaven. In terms of style, Noah prefers loose fitting clothing which hides his lithe build. Due to time spent running in his animal forms, he has built up his muscles his physique being more akin to that of a runner or swimmer than his style leads one to believe. Noah is never without his messenger bag or his crutch, and can often be seen heavily on it.[/indent][/color] [sub][b] Character Synopsis[/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=black]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [color=darksalmon][indent]Born and raised in Crestwood Hollow, Noah William Gallagher Jr. lived his entire life in the Southern portion of the city, growing up amidst the ever-expanding suburbs. His parents were high school sweethearts, meeting during their sophomore year and falling quickly and madly in love. Noah's mother, Sophia discovered she was pregnant the night of their prom and announced it to Noah's father, his namesake after the pair was crowned the Prom's King and Queen. In his excitement, Noah Gallagher Sr. accidentally revealed his Hyperhuman Ability, a shower of sparks emitting from his hands, gathering the attention of the graduating class. Taking Sophia home, Noah was jumped by his former teammates, the Mather Memorial Ravens. Noah had been the school's quarterback, one of the most popular men in school and by extension, Sophia had been fallen into the cliché of being the head cheerleader. She was the definition of the 'It Girl' and for her to have not only laid with but also to have been impregnated by a Hyperhuman was salt to the wound. Unskilled with his abilities, Noah was unable to defend himself as he was beaten to death by the school's football team. The local police swept the hate crime under the rug, pinning the blame on a local drunk. Sophia meanwhile died during childbirth, the strain creating tears in her heart that ultimately led to her death. Her last breath was used to name the child after his father. Alone in the world, Noah Jr. was taken in by Sophia's parents, William and Sydney, his grandparents who raised him and his Aunt Danielle, Sophia's younger sister. Growing up next door to the Harpers, young Noah and Ivy were near inseparable. Noah filled Ivy's want of a sibling and even from a young age, Noah was smitten with the older girl. As they aged though, the pair drifted apart and by the time they reached high school the pair were little more than familiar acquaintances. During his youth, Noah was scarcely seen without the accompaniment of a large black Shiloh Shepherd owned by his grandparents. Outside of Ivy Harper, the dog, Achilles, was Noah's only friend while he was growing up. The pair went everywhere together and on one such occasion found themselves in Mather Park. Cornered by a mugger, Achilles sprung to Noah's defense attacking the man but in the struggle, the mugger's gun fired and Achilles died before he could make it to the veterinary hospital. In his grief, Noah's powers manifested and his body began to mimic Achilles' appearance. The pain of his body warping caused immense strain on Noah's body and the transformation failed but not without causing irreparable damage. Noah was left with a permanent limp, walking with the assistance of a crutch. Eventually learning to control his transformations, Noah began to enjoy running in the form of a dog and during on his adventures stumbled across Ivy. The girl was out for a walk by herself and so, in the form of a dog dubbed 'Shadow', Noah began to walk with her. He listened as the girl talked about her problems, her interests, whatever else came to mind. Despite the fact that the two had grown apart, Noah's feelings for Ivy had never changed. Due to his injury and the distance between them since their childhood, Noah lacked the confidence to approach Ivy as himself, but as 'Shadow' he could be a friend to her as Achilles had to him. Despite being unable to participate in the more athletic extracurriculars at Mather Memorial, Noah stays involved by volunteering with the student council, school paper, radio and acting as the assistant editor for the school's yearbook. When word of Dr. Lehrer's Hyperhuman Program reached him, Noah took pause as attending would essentially out him as a Hyperhuman, the same act that led to the death of his father. Deciding instead that he'd attend as a Student Council member, Noah has decided to no out himself and keep his gifts a secret.[/indent][/color] [sub][b] Personality[/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=black]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [INDENT][color=darksalmon]Noah is an insecure young man who hides behind a smile. He's aware of how off-putting his injuries can be to some people and loathes people looking down on him, hiding behind false sympathy. But he's also scared due to the realization he is a Hyperhuman, the same thing that led to his father being killed. Due to this, Noah puts on a friendly outgoing facade which led to his numerous extracurriculars in order to compensate for his physical appearance. Noah's involvement allows him to blend into the crowd of the Mather Memorial, being memorable for what he does and not who he is. Above all else, Noah does not want to be known as 'the kid with the crutch' or worse, 'the Hyperhuman'. However, Noah has another side. Something of a pessimist, he often jumps to the worst case scenario and is not quick to trust due to seeing the worst in people long before he ever starts to see the good in them. Despite this, he's something of a hopeless romantic and wears his heart on his sleeve, thus leading to his near-stalkerish behaviour towards Ivy Harper over the past couple of years.[/color][/INDENT] [sub][b]Miscellaneous[/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=black]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [INDENT][color=darksalmon]◼ Noah participates in several different extracurriculars, these include the following: [sub]• [b]Student Council[/b] - [i]Treasurer[/i] • [b]School Paper[/b] - [i]Photographer[/i] • [b]School Radio[/b] - [i]Morning Host / Sports Announcer[/i] • [b]Yearbook[/b] - [i]Assistent Editor[/i][/sub] ◼ Noah still lives with his grandparents and his aunt who attends a local college.

Although most have faded and healed, there are a number of them that are still quite evident when Aiden lift up his shirt.[/i][/indent][/indent] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/hRyUTlx.gif[/img][/center] [indent][b][color=CADETBLUE]//DESCRIPTION:[/color][/b] [indent][i]Often playing the part of the stoic, Aiden is always the last person to enter a room and the first to leave. A teen of few words, but many actions, he prefers not to waste time and effort on idle conversation cutting to the point immediately. Prone to dressing in layers, Aiden usually layers a tank top with either an open hoodie or collared shirt under his trademark leather jacket. During school spirit days, he can be coaxed into wearing his letterman jacket, although he prefers not to do so on a regular basis due to the unnecessary attention it draws. Always a fan of baggy, straight-legged jeans, Aiden is never seen in shorts unless caught in his boxers. His favourite footwear is a pair of steel-toed high-topped boots, although he can be found wearing Converse hightops during warmer weather and even on rare occasions, flip-flops. Around his waist is always a thick leather belt, bearing a heavy dual clasp buckle. Aiden prefers to remain clean shaven, keeping his hair short and often tousled as he rarely applies product due to his frequency of wearing helmets and the occasional black ballcap. Due to his athletic abilities, Aiden has maintained a healthy and toned physique. Generally, consider attractive, his body boasts a fair amount of muscle befitting of someone who is a regular athlete.[/i][/indent][/indent] [COLOR=SLATEGRAY][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]▼ B I O G R A P H Y:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][CENTER][img]https://i.imgur.com/pohwS7V.gif[/img] [sub][color=silver]"My sister looks after me, that's all you need to know."[/color][/sub][/CENTER] [indent][indent][i]Born to the North End of Crestwood Hollow, Aiden’s life didn’t get off on the right foot. His father, Lucas walked out after his birth, leaving Aiden’s mother Harper, to struggle with postpartum depression leading to her slide into alcoholism. Aiden was left in the care of his eight-year-old sister, Vanessa, who provided the infant Aiden the support he needed, while their mother became more neglectful and verbally abusive with each bottle she drank. Unable to hold down a job due to her spiraling habits, Aiden’s mother began to sell her body, which led to a seemingly endless parade of different ‘suitors’ coming into their home. The ever-revolving door of men opening the pair of children to abuse which their mother never failed to notice. When Aiden was eight, one of his mother’s gentleman callers attempted to force himself on Vanessa. Seeing his sister in distress, Aiden flew into a blind rage. While the boy was physically no match for his sister’s assailant, the yelling and screaming were enough to alert a nearby autonomous patrol car. It was at this point that Child Services was forced to step in. While Vanessa fought for her right to be emancipated, Aiden was sent to live with his Uncle Tim and older cousin James. While Tim did a good job of putting food in front of Aiden, he was little more than caregiver having little interest in Aiden as a person. Thankfully James, or rather, Jimmy, was more than happy to have Aiden tag along. With only a three year age difference between them, Jimmy taught Aiden how to be a Northside Boy, and it didn’t take long before Aiden started tagging along with Jimmy as the older boy was inducted into the Northside’s resident gang, the Sons of Salem. Being the youngest one around didn’t go well for Aiden as he suffered at the hands of the other boys. Constantly bullied and picked upon, he was punched and belittled at every turn and because of this, Aiden was never considered to be an actual candidate for the Sons of Salem. By the age of thirteen, Aiden was at his breaking point and decided to prove himself. Unfortunately for Aiden, he attempted to steal a car was quickly foiled and the boy found himself quickly in a youth detention center. Sitting across from a public defender was the dose of reality that Aiden needed and he soon found himself living with his older sister once again. Now twenty-one, Vanessa and her fiance, Michael, were able to take custody of Aiden on the condition that he complete a community-based rehabilitation program. Agreeing, the terms were set and Aiden was free to go. Between the rehabilitation program and seeing how far his sister had come from living in the Tracks made Aiden realize that he wanted to be able to leave Crestwood Hollow when the time came. While he was a sharp kid, Aiden knew he couldn’t compete with some of the other students and so when the time came to start high school, Aiden threw himself into the school’s athletic programs. By his sophomore year, Aiden had managed to become the Mather Memorial Ravens’ quarterback, point guard and goalie, rotating through football, basketball and ice hockey as the seasons changed. Under the direction of the school’s aging coach, Thomas Clark, Aiden had managed to give himself a fighting chance for a full ride scholarship. Now entering his junior year, Aiden is hoping to begin to attract the attention of college scouts, but despite his new lease on life, his vices are not completely gone. Aiden houses a lot of deep-rooted issues and has a long way to go before he can surpass the influence of succumbing to his upbringing in the Tracks.[/i][/indent][/indent] [COLOR=SLATEGRAY][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]▼ A B I L I T I E S / S K I L L S:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][CENTER][img]https://i.imgur.com/upPMXNa.gif[/img] [sub][color=silver]"Light 'em up!"[/color][/sub][/CENTER][indent][b][color=CADETBLUE]//ABILITIES:[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ OPTICAL ENERGY MANIFESTATION |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Through the absorption of ultraviolet radiation such as sunlight, Aiden's body has the ability to metabolize the radiation and expel it through his mutated corneas converted to thermal energy. This thermal energy can be ejected from the eyes in one of two ways, as concussive blasts or as a continuous beam. When fired as a concussive blast, Aiden can either release these blasts singularly or in rapid succession. The size and speed can all be controlled through manipulation of his eyelids, although Aiden lacks such fine motor controls. The temperature of his ability is variable with the Aiden's maximum peak output reaching 1510 degrees Celsius (2750°F) which is even capable melting through solid steel. Aiden however, has a current peak temperate of 100°C (212°F), the temperature at which water boils, and while he can reach this temperature, he cannot maintain it due to the strain it puts on his body. While Aiden can't currently force his ability to burn any hotter than a hundred degrees Celsius, extended training and practice would eventually raise the temperature of the target higher than the above numbers. Like the temperature, Aiden controls the force behind each concussive blast. He can simply radiate heat from his eyes or, Aiden can put up to enough force to easily lift a man of roughly 90 kilograms (200 lbs) into the air. At an absolute maximum, Aiden could be able to offset an airborne half tonne truck. That said, due to the strain Aiden can't consistently manage that level of force. Furthermore, the width and diameter of Aiden's blasts and beams have an effect. A focused narrow beam is more likely to cut through a target where a wide-spread blast will push back or knock down a target. As with the temperature and pressure, Aiden has the potential to control the size of his beams, whether they're small precision blasts or a wide, large blast for a maximum area of effect. Currently, he lacks the understanding and practice to successfully manipulate his eyelids in the manner required for such fine control. Due to this, he can only fire a generic blast or beam. While Aiden's optic blasts can be fired anywhere within his vision's range, the solid beams can actually be bent and curved by his own will as opposed to simply reflect or refract off of mirrored surfaces. To this extent, Aiden can literally chase a target with his optic beams as long as they are within eyesight. Due to his inexperience with his abilities, he has yet to discover or even attempt such a feat.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ ENHANCED EPIDERMIS |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Compared with a mundane human, Aiden's epidermis is unique in the fact that while it absorbs ultraviolet radiation, it also is able to displace energy, spreading the point of impact in order to reduce damage. As such, Aiden has partial immunity to his own abilities as any attacks redirected will affect him at a lesser rate. When hit with an energy-based attack, Aiden's skin cells are able to absorb part of the blow before displacing the rest evenly along a larger surface to reduce harm.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ ENHANCED EQUILIBRIUM |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Due to the force of his abilities, Aiden's sense of equilibrium is enhanced allowing him to maintain near perfect balance even while projecting the maximum amount of force from his eyes. This subtle ability has allowed him to excel in various athletic abilities while remaining relatively undetected.[/i][/indent] [b][color=CADETBLUE]//SKILLS:[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ ATHLETE |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Aiden is a passionate member of the Mather Memorial Ravens and holds key positions on the football, basketball, and ice hockey teams. A well-rounded athlete, Aiden possess impressive, endurance, stamina, speed and strength and is hoping to continue to refine his skills in order to begin to attract scouts during the remainder of his high school career.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ STREET SMART |[/COLOR][/B] [i]While not a gifted academic, Aiden understands people well for someone his age and is generally able to navigate most social situations, albeit he's not exactly a black tie event kind of kid but he does maintain a certain rugged charm even when found in an offputting situation.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ PRAGMATIST |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Due to the severity of the laws regarding Hyperhuman Abilities, Aiden would be the last person to ever rely on his and years of running with the wrong and tough crowd have taught him how to fight, how to fight smart, and how to fight dirty. Aiden is not above being an opportunist and will take a cheap shot if it wins him the fight.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ PAIN THRESHOLD |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Due to years of abuse under his mother, her clients and his cousin, Aiden has developed a rather high threshold for pain. He often doesn't notice when he's been cut and minor bruises go undetected for weeks. In a fit, Aiden relies on being able to take more hits than the other guy due to his prolonged exposure to being slapped, punched, kicked and generally assaulted throughout his youth.[/i][/indent] [b][color=CADETBLUE]//LIMITATIONS:[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ FIELD OF VISION |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Aiden's abilities hinder his vision while in use. Each blast he fires is a moment when the world is completely distorted in a burst of brilliant colour. This is even worst when emitting a beam attack as his vision is almost completely obstructed leaving him open to attacks. This is particularly exploitable when you realize that Aiden's own attacks can be redirected back at him and are completely able to injure him though to a lesser extent than the intended target due to Aiden's enhanced epidermis.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ FINITE ENERGY |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Aiden's energy levels are not finite and overuse will leave Aiden complete drained, possibly even unconscious. In order to recharge his optic powers, Aiden requires rest and sustenance and most importantly prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ HEAT RESISTANCE |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Despite being able to project the high temperatures produced by his own abilities, Aiden is still susceptible to injury from his optic blast if he were to sustain maximum temperature in a continuous beam for a prolonged period. This would likely leave him with severe burns to his body and potentially permanently blinded.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ PREMATURE RELEASE |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Aiden's abilities are linked to his emotions, particularly his libido and his anger. As such, when aroused, his abilities can flare up leading to him to fire a blast involuntarily. Likewise, when angry, Aiden can lose control of his abilities and either involuntarily fire, or fire much hotter and more intense blasts then he was intending to. When Aiden's abilities are flaring up, his eyes begin to spark out their corners, turning fully red just before a blast emits.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ REDIRECTION |[/COLOR][/B] [i]While Aiden's attacks are difficult to reflect, certain mirrored surfaces are capable of doing so. Additionally, some glass structures are also capable of refracting his attacks thus altering their path and potentially making Aiden miss his intended target.[/i][/indent] [b][color=CADETBLUE]//WEAKNESSES:[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ ADDICTION |[/COLOR][/B] [i]While potentially hereditary, Aiden suffers from an addictive personality. Habits, both vices, and virtuous are incredibly easy for Aiden to pick up. Currently, he's addicted to smoking, never found without a pack of cigarettes. But both Aiden and his sister know it's basically a gateway for him. He's particularly afraid of drinking alcohol due to his mother.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ LIMITED RESISTANCE |[/COLOR][/B] [i]While Aiden's enhanced epidermis is designed to ward off energy based assaults, it's still as equally vulnerable to knives and gunfire. It pierces the same as any other humans and provides no additional protection against physical assault beyond Aiden's own conditioning.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ ULTRAVIOLET DEPRAVATION |[/COLOR][/B] [i]As Aiden's abilities run on a finite energy level, robbing him of a chance to recharge can render him powerless. Due to this, Aiden must conserve attacks during periods of darkness, including night and indoors if there are no windows nearby.[/i] [/indent][/indent] [COLOR=SLATEGRAY][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]▼ N O T E S:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][CENTER][img]https://i.imgur.com/ptZgm93.gif[/img] [sub][color=silver]"People leave, it's what they do."[/color][/sub][/CENTER][indent][b][color=CADETBLUE]//SUPPORTING CAST:[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]▼ ALLIES[/COLOR][/B] [indent][HIDER][CENTER][img]https://i.imgur.com/X5rx8nm.jpg?1[/img][/CENTER] [B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE]◼ [I]THOMAS CLARK |[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]Thomas Clark is the head coach at Mather Memorial Highschool, overseeing all of the school's athletics although his passion project is and always has been the football team.

There's an unspoken sense of comradery between the teams and they often help Aiden if he starts to slip back into his old habits. The sense of friendliness extends beyond the teams Aiden belongs to and to the rest of Mather's athletic teams.[/i][/HIDER][/indent] [B][COLOR=SILVER]▼ FAMILY[/COLOR][/B] [indent][HIDER][CENTER][img]https://i.imgur.com/blSL4Dd.jpg?1[/img][/CENTER] [B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE]◼ [I]LUCAS ROTH |[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]Aiden's father, Aiden has never met the man due to him walking out while Aiden was younger. Having only seen his father in photographs, Aiden is under the impression that he and Vanessa share a father, but his mother never confirmed nor denied this.[/i] [CENTER][img]https://i.imgur.com/sDTKIfp.jpg?1[/img][/CENTER] [B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE]◼ [I]HARPER ROTH |[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]Harper, or as she's better known, Honey, is Aiden's mother. Honey is a nickname from a first boyfriend and it stuck, becoming the common name for her in the Tracks community. An alcoholic, her drinking binges led her to become neglectful and verbally abusive towards her children, a primary reason towards the abuse suffered by her children. Aiden hasn't been in contact with his mother since he was taken away despite Child Services' numerous attempts to arrange meetings while Aiden was in the care of his uncle.[/i] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/R7hIXUZ.jpg?1[/img][/center] [B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE]◼ [I]TIMOTHY MURRAY |[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]Timothy Murray, or simply, 'Uncle Tim' to Aiden is a resident of the Tracks, the roughest part of Crestwood Hollow. While he's not an active participant of the Sons of Salem he is an alley to the biker gang and is protected by the group through his son. Despite taking Aiden in after the boy was taken from his mother, Timothy does not have strong feelings about Aiden and only did so out of obligation to his sister.[/i] [CENTER][img]https://i.imgur.com/4owsGcW.jpg?1[/img][/CENTER] [B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE]◼ [I]VANESSA ROTH |[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]Vanessa, or 'Nessie' as Aiden affectionately referred to her when he was younger, was Aiden's primary caretaker. Eight years older than Aiden, she fought for emancipation the day she turned sixteen. Vanessa's drive to succeed in life was exceptional as she lied about her age, gaining her first job at a local diner at the age of thirteen. Living on her own from sixteen on, Vanessa eventually met her future fiance, Calvin Jones and the pair moved in together before Vanessa came full circle and took in Aiden once again after his arrest.[/i][/HIDER][/indent] [B][COLOR=SILVER]▼ FRIENDS[/COLOR][/B] [indent][HIDER][CENTER][img]https://i.imgur.com/AOm6YTY.jpg?1[/img][/CENTER] [B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE]◼ [I]CALVIN JONES |[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]Calvin Jones is Vanessa's fiance. The pair met at while attending the local community college together and immediately hit it off after finding common ground at a board game cafe. While Aiden was initially cold towards Calvin, he began to relax when he realized that Cal was taking a more hands-off approach to their relationship, letting Aiden come to him and not imposing himself as a big brother.[/i] [CENTER][img]https://i.imgur.com/JJWuuyi.jpg?1[/img][/CENTER] [B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE]◼ [I]BRYNN REYES |[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]The captain of the girls' varsity volleyball team, Brynn has been the object of Aiden's affections since the first day of freshman year. The moment he laid his eyes on her, Aiden was smitten and the infatuation has only grown stronger. During his sophomore year, Aiden finally managed to attract Brynn's attention and the pair attended Winter Formal together. From that point on, Brynn has been Aiden's date to almost every school event but the pair have yet to solidify their relationship.[/i] [CENTER][img]https://i.imgur.com/tR73qNZ.jpg?1[/img][/CENTER] [B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE]◼ [I]MAKAYLA HALL |[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]A member of the Varsity Cheerleading Squad, Makayla was once the girl that every guy on the football team wanted to be with. Then something happened over the summer that caused Makayla to become a social pariah. Aiden's not entirely sure what it is, but he feels a sense of empathy with the girl, that's caused him to notice her more.[/i] [CENTER][img]https://i.imgur.com/dze7KCJ.jpg?1[/img][/CENTER] [B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE]◼ [I]WINTER CARLYLE |[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]Winter may be one of Mather Memorial's most notirous Queen Bees. Privileged, popular and pretty, Winter never fails to attract male attention no matter where she goes. A friend of Brynn, Aiden has spoke to her once or twice but never really got to know her or had any inclination to do so.[/i] [CENTER][img]https://i.imgur.com/EB4vVS1.jpg?1[/img][/CENTER] [B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE]◼ [I]DAWSON RIVERS |[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]Dawson is the Mather Memorial Ravens' Center and probably the closest to Aiden despite the fact that he spends most of his time giving Aiden a hard time. Aiden often plays the straight man to Dawson's antics, with Dawson acting more like a stereotypical jock. Obsessed with all things female, Dawson is considered crass and crude when he's not managing to be charming.[/i] [CENTER][img]https://i.imgur.com/vrAhdXl.jpg?1[/img][/CENTER] [B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE]◼ [I]SHANE PARKS |[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]Shane is the goofball of the Ravens, and the team's Tight End. Considered the lackey of the group, Shane actually generally puts forth worthwhile ideas that the more assertive Ravens claim as their own. When he's not with the Ravens, Shane actually plays in a band known as Overcooked Parsley as their guitar and bass player.[/i][/HIDER][/indent] [B][COLOR=SILVER]▼ ENEMIES[/COLOR][/B] [indent][HIDER][CENTER][img]https://i.imgur.com/XgJ18XI.jpg?1[/img][/CENTER] [B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE]◼ [I]JAMES MURRAY |[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]James Murray, or Jimmy is Aiden's older cousin and the son of Timothy Murray. As a member of the Sons of Salem, James is part of Crestwood's climbing crime rate. As part of Aiden's conviction, he gave up the names of several members of the Sons of Salem, because of this, Jimmy and several of the younger members of the Sons of Salem did time in a juvenile detention hall. Ever since Jimmy has sworn revenge on Aiden.[/i] [B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE]◼ [I]SONS OF SALEM |[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]Crestwood Hollow's largest and most notorious gang, the Sons of Salem operate in the Tracks and basically control the small district. Under the guidance of Jimmy, Aiden was set to join the gang despite their cruelty towards him, until his effort to impress the gang when askew. The fallout of this made Aiden an enemy of the gang as he gave up the names of several members in order to lighten his sentence.[/i][/HIDER][/indent][/indent] [b][color=CADETBLUE]//STOMPING GROUNDS[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ THE TRACKS |[/COLOR][/B] [i]The Northside of Crestwood Hollow is known for being poorer and rougher than the South, but the Tracks are the poorest and roughest of the entire city. Generally immune to the influence of City Council, the Tracks are primarily run by the Sons of Salem and many propositions have been made on how to eradicate the Tracks in order to rebuild.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ CRESTWOOD RAILYARD |[/COLOR][/B] [i]A massive shipping depot, the Railyard sits on the harbor, receiving shipping containers directly from incoming ships before sending them East along the rails. The Railyard also has a trucking depot due to rail becoming less common. The trucking depot most commonly is used to either deliver directly within the city itself or to the airport to be flown out. Aiden currently works at the Railyard, acting as a packer in the evenings and weekends to ensure he's not freeloading at Vanessa and Cal's place.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ THE OLD BAG |[/COLOR][/B] [i]A bar located in the Tracks, it's owned and operated by the Sons of Salem making it a rather rough establishment and not one that you want to accidentally walk into. The drinks are watered down and the alcohol is more often used to treat bullet wounds than it is for drinking. The Old Bag is instantly recognizable by the line of motorcycles that seems to perpetually sit outside the establishment.[/i][/indent] [b][color=CADETBLUE]//PARAPHERNALIA[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ CIGARETTES |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Aiden is rarely without a pack of cigarettes on his person. While not a chain-smoker by any means, he lights a cigarette up on a regular base, generally before and after school unless he's stressed out in which case he starts going through packs like no other.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ FLIP PHONE |[/COLOR][/B] [i]While it may not be the cutting edge of technology, Aiden's personal cell is an older flip phone. Simple and practical, it can make calls and it can text and most important of all it's cheap. Durable and capable of taking a beating, Aiden can often be seen fidgeting with it when bored.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ LIGHTER |[/COLOR][/B] [i]An antique Zippo lighter, it's been decorated with Royal Airforce logo and by Vanessa's estimates, the lighter itself is from World War II. Supposedly it's been passed down from father to son for generations but that came from his mother and both Aiden and Vanessa consider it unreliable. Atop the RAF logo, a glyph has been inscribed and on the back is tally which Aiden assumes to be the amount of Nazis the original owner assumes. At least, that's the story he tells his friends.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ SWITCHBLADE |[/COLOR][/B] [i]A simple spring-loaded knife, Aiden picked up the havit of carrying one from living in the Tracks for the majority of his youth. Due to this, Aiden is never without his switchblade, always keeping the weapon concealed on his person at all times. Although he never lets anyone know he carries it, hiding the weapon from even Vanessa. When feeling defensive or threatened, Aiden can be seen towards the weapon subconsciously.[/i][/indent][/indent][/hider] [hider=Aiden Roth PRCU (Salvaged)] | NAME: | Aiden Gabriel Roth​ | ALIAS(ES): | Roth​ | PLACE OF BIRTH: | Toronto, Ontario, Canada​ | NATIONALITY: | Canadian Caucasian​ | D.O.B. | February 21, 1994​ | AGE: | 20​ | SEX: | M​ | SEXUALITY: | Hetero​ | HEIGHT: | 5'-10"​ | BUILD: | Athletic​ | WEIGHT: | 164 lbs​ | EYES: | Blue​ | HAIR: | Brown​ | H-CLASS: | Mars​ | ABILITIES: | Aiden has the ability to create and project thermal energy from his eyes. This thermal energy can be ejected from the eyes in one of two ways, as concussive blasts or as a powerful continuous beam. When fired as a concussive blast, Aiden can either fire these blasts singularly or in rapid succession. The size and speed can all be controlled, with Aiden gaining more skill with his abilities each year. The temperature of his ability is variable with the hottest temperature reaching 1510 degrees Celsius (2750°F) which is even capable melting through solid steel. While Aiden can't force his ability burn any hotter than the above number, extended exposure would eventually raise the temperature of the target higher than the above numbers. Like the temperature, Aiden controls the force behind each concussive blast. He can simply radiate heat from his eyes or, Aiden can put up to enough force to easily lift a man over two hundred pounds off his feet, as maximum Aiden has even managed to offset a thrown car. That said, due to the strain Aiden can't keep consistently manage that much force. Likewise as with anything, the width and diameter of Aiden's blasts and beams have an effect, a focused narrow beam is more likely to cut through a target where as a wide blast will push back or knock down a target. As with the temperature and pressure, Aiden can control the size of his beams whether they're small precision blasts or wide, large blast for a maximum area of effect. While Aiden's optic blasts can be fired anywhere within his vision's range, the solid beams can actually be bent and curved by his own will as opposed to reflecting and refracting off of mirrored surfaces. To this extent, Aiden can literally chase a target with his optic beams as long as they are within eye sight. Due to the heat and force behind his vision powers, Aiden has slightly improved durability primarily in heat resistance. Additionally his balance is enhanced in order to be able to stand against his own concussive force.​ | LIMITATIONS: | While powerful, Aiden has several notable limitation that come with his abilities. First and foremost, his energy levels are not finite and overuse will leave Aiden complete drained, possibly even unconscious. In order to recharge his optic powers, Aiden requires rest and sustenance. Abuse requires substantially longer to recover from. Furthermore, despite being resistant to the heat produced by his own abilities, Aiden can't handle the heat from his optic blast if he were to completely drain it at maximum temperature in one continuous beam. This would likely leave him with severe burns to his body as well as permanently blinded.​ | WEAKNESSES: | Aiden's abilities tend to hinder his vision while in use, each blast he fires is a moment when the world is completely distort in a burst of brilliant colour, likewise while emitting a beam attack, his vision is almost completely obstructed leaving his open to attacks. This is particularly exploitable when you realize that Aiden's own attacks can be redirected back at him and are completely able to injure him though to a lesser extent than the intended target due to Aiden's resistance. His attacks are however difficult to reflect but certain mirrored surfaces are capable of doing so, some glass structures too are capable of refracting his attacks and altering their path. Lastly and perhaps most notable, Aiden's body is only a small step above that of a regular human, his skin is no more resistant to knives and gunfire than a Norm making him fairly easy to kill if unprepared and unarmored.​ | APPLICATIONS: | Aiden's optical powers have a wide variety of uses outside of the obvious combat ones. For instance, a low heat beam can be used to help bring of the body heat of a teammate on the verge of hypothermia. Likewise, his abilities could also be used as a signal flare or to start a fire. A blast or beam with a very low to no heat level could be used to push a teammate who's out of arm's' reach in the case they were in danger or didn't see an incoming threat. A focused high heat beam could be used to cut with surgical precision if given training, further more it would also cauterize the wound. High level heat beams can also be used to weld or cut through metal and other materials. Wide beams can be used for a maximum range of effect, such as evaporating snow, ice or even water.​ | HISTORY | "Want to look me in the eye and tell me that?" Born at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Aiden Gabriel Roth grew up under the careful watch of his parents David and Regina Roth. Working as a Structural Engineer, his father brought home quite the income, which ensured that his family had everything they needed. As Aiden grew older, his mother was able to return to her career as a caterer, using her love of cooking and baking to bring joy to many varieties of special events. Living in Toronto ensured that Aiden had everything he ever needed at his fingertips, the Canadian Metropolis provided all sorts of services, occasions, shopping and some of the finest schools in the province. However in his early years, Aiden was plagued by health issues and spent most of his time inside SickKids Hospital. Born with a weak immune system, Aiden's body seemed to pick up every bug he came in contact with and as a result, his parents kept him at home whenever they could to reduce his risk to exposure. Due to this, Aiden was homeschooled for the early years of his life and finally introduced to the public system at the age of 12. During puberty, Aiden's Hype-Gene emerged as his eyes discharged during his first Sexual Education Class. The blast of heat was low enough not to appear visible to the naked eye, it was still hot enough to singe the hair of several classmates in front of him which caused their hair to catch fire setting off the school's sprinkler system and smoke alarms. The result of this development led to his parents playing the blame game with each other, accusing one another of creating a monster. Deciding to take a family holiday together, the trio drove out of the city and headed for their cottage. The vacation was going well until Aiden decided to try and trigger his abilities, first lighting a campfire with his eyes and then attempting to roast a marshmallow with them. His parents became so afraid that Aiden was eventually abandoned as his parents snuck out of the cottage during the night, leaving Aiden to fend for himself. Despite abandoning their child, the damage was already done, guilt tearing the couple apart and David and Regina eventualy divorced soon after. Left in the middle of the Muskoka woods at the age of fourteen, Aiden was forced to fend for himself, eventually finding his way into a small nearby town. Starving and with no money, the boy tried to steal a chocolate bar, only to be caught by the shop owner. The owner naturally called the local authorities after the boy refused to give the shopkeeper his parent's contact information. Picked up by the police, his Hyperhuman status was soon discovered by the OPP who thankfully put a call to the Hyperhuman Equality, Logistics and Protection Division. H.E.L.P. tracked down Aiden's parents and took legal guardianship over for Aiden, flying the young boy out to British Columbia so he could begin anew. Landing in the city of Prince Rupert, Aiden was put aboard a ferry as he journeyed towards his new home. Finding himself awestruck by the campus, Aiden could scarcely believe his ears when he was informed that he was now a student and resident of Pacific Royal Collegiate and University. It took Aiden awhile to adjust to living with other Hyperhumans, living with other kids his age was also a challenge which led to many sleepless nights as Aiden learned the mischievous ways of practical jokes. Living now at the school for almost six years, Aiden is one of the longest running members of Team '21', and has seen many teammates come and go as they graduate. Though despite all the positive in his life, Aiden still struggles with teammates leaving thanks to the damage the abandonment of his parents left on that fourteen year old boy. Training hard with Blackjack and in the A.R.C., Aiden has learned to develop control over his abilities, honing his skills with them and adapting his abilities to a wide variety of applications. Now enrolled in the University system, Aiden is training to be an agent of the Specialized Hyperhuman Intervention Federal Taskforce through the H.E.A.T. program. Aiden has a goal to one day being able to assist H.E.L.P. in order to display his gratitude towards them after the way they were able to help him.​ | SAMPLE | The smell of dirt overwhelmed Aiden's as his face was forced down into the ground, the taste of grass overpowering his mouth as the small green blades pushed through his lips and in between his teeth. As the weight of the other body got off of him, Aiden pushed himself up with his arms, another student coming over to grab the football as Aiden silently cursed to himself, spitting out the grass from his mouth as he stood up. Blinking back his glowing red eyes, he gave his head a shake in disbelief for the fact he just tried to outrun a Mercury-type Hype. "Shouldn't have tried that Roth!" A playful voice yelled as Aiden looked over at voice responsible for tackling him. "I dare you to get the ball next Zippy, I'll knock you on your ass from halfway across the field." Aiden laughed as he returned to his team's line up. Hyperball was one of his favourite past times at P.R.C.U., it was football but with powers. Naturally that made for a much more interesting game. "Roth get in here!" Bruce, Aiden's team's quarterback ordered. Like Aiden, he was a Mars type Hype, however his abilities were quite different as he was able to charge the potential energy in an object, releasing it in a large kinetic burst. It made him ideal for a Hail-Mary play. "Alright so here's the plan, Zippy over there has the ground covered so we need to somehow get past him if we want to win this game. This is our final down and we can't afford to blow it." "Why don't you run the ball? Charge your own potential energy and launch across the field?" Aiden suggested as the other teammates murmured their agreement. "Alright, I'll try it, but I'm counting on you to blast that speedster Roth. Everyone else, stick with your man. We've got this! Break!" Bruce yelled as the team turned around and ran to the line. Within seconds, the ball had snapped and the two teams were clashing until suddenly Bruce went barreling through, his explosion of energy propelling him almost as fast as Zippy could move. Running as fast he could, Aiden tried not to fall behind, and suddenly felt a 'WHOOSH' as Zippy passed him. Narrowing his eyes, Aiden slide to a stop and let loose a crimson concussive blast, narrowly missing, he cursed as Zippy closed in on Bruce. Breathing in deeply, Aiden focused and instead of Zippy aimed at Bruce as he suddenly dropped to his knees and aimed upwards as he unleashed a beam of energy from his eyes. A cry arose from both of the players as Zippy tackled Bruce just as the beam collided with them, raising both into the air as they continued to fly forward. With a thud, they suddenly dropped to the ground as Aiden stood and cheered. Rubbing his head as he too stood up, Bruce suddenly slammed the ball to the ground and joined in with Aiden's cheering as the team followed suit. Aiden's quick thinking had boosted Bruce into the endzone allowing the team their winning touch down. "Told you I'd blast you Zippy!" Aiden called as the other teen shook his head and smiled. "Good game Hotshot, we'll get you next time." Scoffing, Aiden laughed as he turned back to the Speedster. "Don't count on it." He said with a wink as he headed towards the mess hall, a celebratory slice of pie was in order.​ | NOTES | Has trouble getting close to people, afraid they're just going to leave. To a degree has difficulty with the opposite sex due to a fear of incinerating them if he were aroused. As such, Aiden is relatively chaste. Despite all of the above, Aiden is outgoing and enjoys being sociable especially when it comes to sports. Aiden enjoys football/hyperball above all others though, second to that is naturally hockey. His favourite teams are the Calgary Stampeders and the Calgary Flames, despite having never actually been to Alberta, let alone Calgary. Hands down his favourite food is anything off a barbeque, whether a burger, pizza, steak or pork chop. As long as it has been cooked on a grill, he's going to enjoy it. For dessert however, he has a soft spot for pie, particularly Key Lime. Not a big fan of video games as he claims they make his eyes hurt. He loves rock music with his favourite band being Thousand Foot Krutch, although he has a guilty pleasure for Taylor Swift. Despite his aspirations to being a S.H.I.F.T. Agent, Aiden is attracted to the idea of teaching and would love to one day work at P.R.C.U.[/HIDER]
