Name: Aaron Artamo
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Birthday: February 22nd
Sexuality: Straight
Special Characteristics: Aaron's eyes are solid black with white points in them that move like stars. This is a result of a failed experiment from his youth.
Personality: Outside of battle Aaron is tries to be friendly and outgoing, though it is sometimes hard for him as many people are put off by his bluntness. Basically, he doesn't hide his feelings about something, which many people can find annoying. When ever he gets focused on something however, it becomes the center of his world. A book, a game, an artifact, if it is his focus he won't let up until he is forced to or has exhausted his interest in it. Aaron has an admittedly short temper, if someone angers him, everyone knows about it, even though his angers are always cold and never explosive, they are always obvious. Partly as a result of Aaron's cold angers, he holds grudges easily.
Aaron has a soft spot for children, and for cats. He will always try to protect them if need be, as long as he isn't in a battle already. This has to do with his own experiences as a child, where his only companionship was found with stray cats and how as an adult he realized he could prevent the abandonment he knew as a child. Aaron, as long as he isn't focused on something else, is always willing to help his friends, no matter how stupid the scheme is, as long as he sees no harm to his friends themselves in it he will participate. One very important thing about Aaron is that he is very protective of his friends.
In battle however, he hardens. Aaron focuses on the battle and nothing else. He is completely unaware of his surroundings and of any collateral damage he may cause. He is also merciless, he will kill someone if he is not prevented from doing so by one of his allies or by another outside force. He is becoming better with this, but as of now, he almost never restrains himself against an enemy. Under a leader he is sometimes difficult to deal with as he has a tenancy to act on his impulses, and to modify his part in a plan if he thinks that the plan won't work. Perversely, as a leader Aaron has no patience for disobedience, and relies on advisers to hold his temper in check. However, he is able to make quick decisions and is fiercely loyal, to the point where he will use himself as a shield for his allies.
In terms of his ability as a leader however, there is no question of his strategic prowess. Aaron is able to see a battle in terms of not only of future actions, but also he is able to see how past decisions can help or hinder his current and future decisions. He is able to take advantage of the slightest weakness of an enemy, even turning their own traps against them at times. His prowess is also what makes him such a poor subordinate though. If he sees a plan that he thinks has a problem, and the commander won't change it, he'll take it into his own hands.
