Character Name: Aiden

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Height: 6'1

Appearance: Tall and slender, with dark brown hair and deep blue eyes. Fairly lanky and light-skinned, although not exactly pale. Has fairly stern features that make his default look a serious one, but also has a brilliant smile that lights up the room when it appears. Usually wears casual/preppy clothes, such as jeans and a polo shirt, and has a silver earring in his right ear.

Element: Lightning

Weapon: Aiden prefers not to use weapons, finding them crude, but in case of emergency, Aiden has a small metal blade that he keeps with him at all times. Aiden can channel electricity through the blade, electrifying it and making it a formidable, albeit short-ranged, weapon.

Personality: Aiden is generally a quiet person, especially when you first meet him, although he opens up more after he feels comfortable around you. He has a very sarcastic and witty sense of humor that he often uses to tauUnlike most of the other people attending this school, Aiden had a pretty happy and normal childhood. In fact, his powers didn't even begin to manifest until he was 17. The only upsetting thing about his childhood was that he lived in a very small and fervently religious town. However, Aiden was never able to buy into the religion that captured his hometown so thoroughly and closed their minds, and Aiden's happy existence disappeared as he came of age and discovered his homosexuality. Aiden struggled with himself until his Junior year in high school, when he began an affair with the son of the town's head preacher. Eventually, they were discovered, and, fearful for their son's life, his parents sent him to Ambereo. Aiden is grateful for the ability to escape his emotions, and studies fervently, hoping to bury himself in his powers.nt others, sometimes hurting people without intending to. He's just one of those people that you need to be able to laugh at yourself to be around. Aiden is a bitter person about events in his past, although he hides it well, using humor to mask the pain he feels so that it's often hard to tell when something is wrong. Aiden is also very intelligent, often seeing small things in life that others don't notice, and loyal, being a very good friend to those he feel have earned his trust. Aiden is gay, but not flamboyantly so, and, because it's been the cause of most of the troubles in his life, he keeps his homosexuality hidden as much as possible.

Strength: Aiden's affinity with electricity makes him a fairly dangerous foe, because it allows him to superheat the particles in the air to create lightning, which he has fairly good control of. He can also drain the electricity out of nearby lights and electronics to increase his own power.

Weakness: Aiden had only just discovered his abilities when he was shipped to the school, and as such, he is still learning to control them, and sometimes they get the best of him. One of the most obvious examples of this is the fact that his ability to drain the electricity out of the air works in reverse as well. When Aiden is not careful or becomes emotional, he becomes vulnerable to the energy around him, and sometimes strong sources of energy nearby drain the energy out of him, causing him to become unconscious.
