Personality:
Aaron is a pretty laid back guy usually. The only time you really see him get worked up about something is if he's working on a project or something weird is going on. Although he isn't much for talking, he knows what to say and when to say it, usually. On occasion his mouth can get ahead of his mind and he ends up saying something stupid and feeling like an idiot. But he is quick to apologize and gets over it quickly enough. When it comes to the paranormal though, he can get fairly serious, and if someone gets in his way and slows him down he may accidentally leave them behind.
COMBAT
u]Fighting Style: [/u]
Aaron hates fighting, but he enjoys knowing how to do so. While he has no official degree in any martial art he has taken a few MMA and boxing lessons at the local gym. He's no Mike Tyson or anything, but he can handle himself well enough. He prefers to get up close when he has to fight someone. He's fairly strong for his size, but his main weakness is that due to his insomnia he gets physically tired more easily than a normal person would.
HISTORY
Relationship Status: Taken
Family:
Aaron is an only child. His mom and dad got a divorce and separated when he was just 3. Several distant relatives but none of them are close.
Personal History/Background:
Aaron was born to a hard working father and a, well, less than reliable mother. But they both love him, and despite their separation he grew up spending time with both of them, though usually not all in the same room or anything. His father worked all the time, and didn't really believe in the supernatural, but his mother was actually slightly psychic. She read tarot cards and had visions in her dreams sometimes. So Aaron got a taste of both worlds growing up. When he was thirteen, spending the night at his father's house, he heard a noise outside and when to investigate it. They had dogs, but none of them could be seen. Walking along a dirt path behind the house he heard the noise again, then a large, dark shape emerged from the woods. It looked like a man, but he could see thought it, like a shadow. Whatever it was took a swing at Aaron, knocking him down. His father came out to find him lying on his back, staring towards his feet, and as he went to pull him up off the ground a red line appeared on his foot which started to bleed.
His father was never able to explain what happened that night, and neither could he. Aaron kept quiet about it though, never went to therapy or anything, and for a while actually forgot about it. After high school he got some grants and took the money he had saved up from summer jobs and from his graduation gift and moved to New York, where he got a job in a little restaurant and started going to school. While working at the restaurant, a little diner really, he wound up meeting Officer Elizabeth of the NYCPD. On one occasion he caught her trying to leave the diner after she'd had a bit too much to drink and snagged her keys from her. He kept them until she was sobered up and they've been friends since then. The only reason he even remembered the cause of the scar was the rumors about North Brother Island he began hearing as soon as he was in school. That's when his insomnia began, and the nightmares. When he does sleep, he dreams of the dark figure tearing him apart, or dragging him into the woods. Now that he has the opportunity to learn more about such things he takes it. And having some friends along never hurt. He feels a bit like part of the Mystery Inc. gang.
OTHER:
Sometimes Aaron gets 'feelings' about situations, people, etc. He believes it may be a slight psychic ability he inherited from his mother, but has never spoken to anyone about it.
Always has a pocket knife and lighter with him
