Personal Style: Aiden has a unique style which often doesn't include a shirt. If required he usually chooses plain and muted colours. Smart-ish, simple items that still remain fashionable when paired together. Clothes aside, then there's the beard and tattoos.
Quite fond of his beard and hair he gets it professionally groomed when he can. (One of his few contradictory vices) other times he patiently and somewhat tediously trims it with his multi-tool. While not ideal he has grown quite efficient at this task over time.
He appears nonchalant and laid back but his appearance takes time and consideration. He also enjoys a good fitted suit should the occasion arise. A confident man with his own sense of style, Aiden readily adapts to any situation knowing just the style to blend in, or stand out.
He's not much for jewellery except for a special necklace that he never parts with. Occasionally he will win a ring or a watch while gambling. He will wear it briefly between loosing or selling it.
Laid back * Lazy * Cocky * Cheeky * Flirty * Trustworthy
Sexuality:Polyamorous Pansexual
Relationship Status: Open?
Personality: Extremely laid back and care free. He seems content just drifting through life having fun. Very little stresses him. He is quite a new-age guy with some pretty radical views and theologies.
He is a risk taker and loves a good gamble, coincidently he also seems to be super lucky. He doesn't dwell on things that are beyond his control, if anything he may be a bit quick to deny responsibility.
He is friendly and generous man who enjoys the company of those with a good sense of humour. He doesn't like to own too much in fear it will hold him down. He is the type of person that needs to be unrestrained and free, able to leave on a whims notice. He dislikes boundaries and has troubles making commitments. While he is good at making friends and goes the extra effort to be friendly, he also quickly pushes those away that get too close.
Habits: Drinking & Smoking

Hobbies: Playing Cards

Fears: Aiden's claustrophobia is not so bad that he can't even step foot in a ship. While he may not be the best company on a packed shuttle, it's still a situation he can begrudgingly put himself in.
A single person escape pod, going outside the ship in an atmo suit, a tight tunnel or vent, these are situations Aiden will fight tooth and nail to avoid.
Irregardless of how kinky or persuasive his partners have been Aiden absolutely refuses to let himself be tied up.
Another of his contradictory complexes is his fear of a deep emotional attachment and that of being stranded all alone and disliked. This is a perpetual perplexing problem for him as he likes having the charade of not caring or being bothered by others opinions.
Aiden always hated being left alone even as a child. Due to his parents busy schedules it happened quite a bit. An abusive sitter only further cemented this phobia. When finally old enough to left on his own his antics saw him fall from the balcony and break his leg. He lay on the floor for hours in agony.
Another life scarring moment was when he reluctantly dropped into the Londium sewers to rescue a crying kitten. He only reached into the small tunnel with his torso when a sudden flood of water rushed him. His friend quickly jumped out to safety leaving Aiden to be pushed head first down the sloping tunnel into total confining darkness. Stuck on his belly he couldn't even kneel or turn. Arms stuck out in front of himself he screamed his lungs dry as water continued to wash over him.
It was 7 hours later before he was finally rescued and he had already developed a severe case of pneumonia.

The only piece of jewellery he owns is a special necklace. A simple sturdy fine chain holds a marble sized platinum orb with faint swirls of gold and silver running through it.
Long ago this was his parents expensive wedding rings.
In his early adolescence he went to great lengths to recover them both.
One required weeks of searching a riverbed and the other was a costly sleuthing game jumping from one pawn shop to another.

Deep inside his pendant, not visible nor evident, reside the precious diamonds and gems in which his parents exchanged their vows over.

The reason you chose the side you did: *
shrugs* I dunno.
Aiden was never much for politics or choosing sides. He would opt to consider the opinions and ideals of each and then ignore them both and go his own way. No point dwelling on the things you cannot change.
His father was alliance but that neither sways him to or away from their side. Aiden, in all his life so far, has never been put in a position where he had to pick one side over the other. Even if he had to for one situation it would probably be only for that situation.
Both sides have made mistakes. Both sides posses some good and horrible people. Both sides believe in what they are fighting for. If it were not this war then it would be another, that after all is human nature.
History: His mother was a beautiful artist and model. His father a fit rigid Alliance military man. They were contrasting opposites but a loving happy and wealthy couple. Aiden tested their relationship as a slightly problematic child, this caused tension as they both had very different ideas on raising a child. Still they persevered and compromised.
When he was in his early teens their differences proved too much and they finally amicably split. Career's played a large part of this decision. His father worked hard for his promotion while his mother grew faintly famous and travelled for her art. Both were torn in different directions and robbed of free time. Priorities grew askew and the family unit fell apart.
This could be a contributing factor to why Aiden has no career ambitions or interests.
Aiden, despite his his lack of boundaries, still excelled at school. He had some good friends and got along with others well. It was after his schooling, going against his fathers wishes that Aiden enrolled himself into a companions academy. Tuition was his fathers last gift before cutting all ties with his disowned son. Two years later Aiden dropped out and ran away. He visited his parents once since then and never again.
He did the odd job here and there just to get by but had become fixated on exploring the verse and seeing all that there is to be seen. Always looking for that next ship out of here. That next ticket to adventure, that reason to keep moving, to keep running.
When ever he begins to settle down the fear of missing out, of something better being just around the corner, drives him to move on and never stay still. He doesn't know what he is looking for but so far this lifestyle of up's and down's has suited him well.
Character Quote: "If you don't try you will never know."
"Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt."
"You can only be as good as you dare to be bad."
"Opportunity dances with those on the dance floor."
