Costume Description/Image:


Personality: Aaron's personality is rarely displayed, like all of his settlement's inhabitants, he displays nothing to outsiders other than an aura harder than granite. He is calm, cold and calculated. He has spent his life adapting to the harsh day-to-day life in the mountains, and has become accustomed to friends waking up, going out, and never coming back.

He is very difficult to identify with, and sees weakness as a byword for impending death. He is a typical frontiersman, aiding the group in survival, but at the same time, looking out for number one. Any newcomers to his little itinerant group will have to work hard to earn his trust and acception.

In spite of being calm and level-headed at most times, if pushed sufficiently, Aaron is a notorious hot-head. Generally, this is most noticeable in combat. He has a ferocious temper when fighting, and if he decides the situation necessitates it, he will, and does hurt people badly. Put bluntly, as a man, he's cold and calculating, but as a fighter, he's about as vicious as they come.

History: Aaron was born into the Kurgan Tribe, a force of die-hard, shamanistic warriors whose warlike ways have scattered their legends far and wide throughout the dark corners of the world. The group is incredibly tight knit, although any outsider can join, provided they are willing to share with the others. It comprises of mainly mixed-race individuals, and the ethnicity of the original members is little-known outside the tribe, thought long-since lost to time.

Aaron was born into one of the hunter families of the group, and was expected to be able to kill wildlife such as Bear and Elk from a very early age. The first creature he killed was a bird, with his bare hands. At a young age his shaman grandmother granted him supernatural powers (strength,endurance,speed and intelligence) just before she died. His parents were kind, but firm, and he was forced to learn to think on his feet from the word go.

He grew up fast, and he grew up mean. Though he had a slow fuse, it was extremely short, making him slow to start a fight, but quick to finish one. Being the Tribe's best hunter, he is often away from them for extended periods, hunting larger or more dangerous creatures than his less skilled tribesmen, to provide the tribe with more valuable hides for trading, or for more exotic food for the tribe's many and varied special occassions. This has led to a somewhat gruff "Frontiersman" personality, due to isolation from society for days on end. It isn't that he can't sit down and have a conversation, he just prefers not to. What other people have to say or what they think rarely interests him. He also suffers from a sense of extreme wanderlust, and has explored much of the area around his Tribe's land, knowing many of the local landmarks, and travelling routes that few others know and even fewer dare tread.

Recently though Aaron has grown sick of his mountain life and his wanderlust has brought him down from his secluded tribe and into the big city of New York!

Powers:
- Superhuman Strength: Aaron is above and beyond the average in terms of sheer physical power. He's not the strongest man that'll ever be seen wandering the streets, but he's more than strong enough to break some heads as the situation demands.
- Superhuman Endurance: Again, Aaron sticks out from the crowd. Described as being tough as coffin nails, and able to run for miles without tiring, he can take a lot more punishment and exertion than your average human.
- Superhuman Speed: Quick on his feet, Aaron's movements are much quicker and smoother than those of people around him, and he moves with a boxer's grace.
- Master of Hand to Hand combat: Aaron's strengths lie mainly in being able to kill things. He is capable with his hands, his higly versatile martial arts abilities really coming into their own against the likes of thugs and weaker meta humans.
- Well trained with short swords and bows: Aaron is well versed in close ranged combat with short swords but prefers hand to hand combat, when he wishes to be stealthy his trusty bow is almost always a dead on shot.

Character Image/Description:
Aaron is a rather small person, he is no more than 5'8 and he weighs about 150lbs. He is best described as being athletically built. If he was meant to play a sport it would probably be track or nothing. He is very strong but he is only slightly muscled.

Aaron has a very charming face. His green eyes always seem very lit up and alive, almost like they are on fire. He has an equally catchy smile that seems to always be on his face, making it very easy for people to walk up and talk to him.

Aaron has a well groomed head of hair. It is a simple black color and hangs slightly down over his forehead in slight bangs. His face has midsized cheekbones and a slightly smaller than normal nose. His mouth often will curl into a smile when he has devious thoughts or is out hunting.

When not fighting Aaron tends to wear simple clothes, never anything flashy or colorful. He's most commonly seen in black jeans and a gray tee shirt with a pair of simple black hiking boots.

Trashed for lame.
