Abilities: This man is about as far from being a pushover as it gets. He's been fighting since, quite literally, before he can remember. His reflexes are almost instantaneous, sometimes giving the illusion that he's predicting an opponent's moves. In truth, this is just a matter of him having worked incredibly hard on honing his instincts within a fight. It takes him seeing a muscle twitch a certain way... or any other telling sign, and he's reacting without so much as thinking.
While this does work for him most of the time, considering his usual opponents, he's nowhere near perfect. If someone is skilled enough to pretend that they're going to attack one side, but are able to immediately go for his other side? Well, that would certainly a great way to test his true speed.
Aside from being a skilled fighter in terms of hand-to-hand combat, he's got a few useful tricks up his sleeve...
Aiden has the ability to mask his presence at will, as well as keep his footsteps completely silent. Put creepily, he can follow people without being detected by sight or hearing. Considering he's spent most of his life going against beings with incredibly heightened senses of smell, he also knows how to cover up his scent. This makes him amazing stalker material, and... sadly, it's not beneath him to legitimately stalk someone he feels suspicious of in any way (worse yet, he has stalked someone because he was bored)...
Of course, you can't always control the urge to sneeze... or cough... and everyone gets gas; basically, it's possible for him to be caught!
He has the ability to use what is known as Fire Magic. Put simply, he can produce and control fire... though it's not quite as simple as it sounds. See, this incredibly dangerous magic isn't something he has full control over. So, while he can create -- say -- a campfire, or something? He can't control the strength and temperature of the fire itself. It could suddenly erupt into something closer to the size of a bonfire. Worse yet, it could give everyone around it third degree burns out of nowhere.
While it's very dangerous, it's something he will not hesitate to use if given no other options to protect someone.
Alignment: Sosyne -- anger and calm
Prior to meeting Riley, Aiden was angry as hell, but refused to show it. He was lonely, but refused to show it. He was a lot of things... but refused to ever show it on his face (or, more than that, let himself acknowledge it). Fast forward a couple of years, and you have Aiden the way he is: the opposite of all of that.
He's happier than he's ever been, and it takes a lot to have him feeling angry; even when he does feel something other than content happiness, he is very skilled at keeping it from his face. He's remarkably skilled at keeping a level head and remaining calm even in the most dangerous of situations.
