Golden orange strands color most of Aeron's head. If one didn't know better, they would think his hair was the product of bleaching gone horribly wrong. In a way, it seems like it is, with subtle hints of lighter shades of blonde coloring through out, and also the barely noticeable tints of red. The way the colors meld together are enough, though, to make it his actual hair color. The length itself is rather long, even for a typical guy. It falls down to the nape of his neck, brushing against his shoulders. Shorter strands frame the sides of his face with some of his bangs falling into his eyes. They are not a hindrance to his eye sight, though. Most of the time, the strands are left to their own accord, however; there are times where he will pull the tresses back into a loose tail. On rare occasions, he pulls it back completely, leaving only his bangs free.

Like sapphire gems, Aeron's eyes reflect the same colors. While not being an actual sapphire color, the dark blue hues are often the first things people notice about him. It isn't so much as an attraction, or anything silly like that, but more-so the fact that they seem to be piercing. There is a certain glow they take that highlights this aspect, however; it could also just be the air of confidence that exudes from them. His eyes are rather largely shaped. Not quite doe-eyed, but not really almond shaped either. There is always a shine of mirth and mischief behind his eyes, like nothing can bother him, however; this is just a facade he puts on. He is capable of showing annoyance or anger through his eyes just as any other person is.

5'10 - a little on the short side, by male standards, however; it isn't so much as a disadvantage. He is still taller than most women, and his parents were rather short themselves. He was lucky enough to break the 5'5 mark, where his father stopped growing at.

150 pounds, give or take.

Aeron is in decent shape, and could be considered to have an athletic shape. He has enough definition on his frame to give him something of a frame, but he isn't bulky to the point where it is questioned if he is on steroids or not. He leans more towards thin and lean, and has some structure to his muscles along his arms and chest area. After all, working in a bar, one is required to lift heavy things, and thankfully, Aeron has a greater sense of upper body strength than he does his lower body. He is in decent shape at best.

Accidents do happen from time to time during Aeron's line of work. Occasionally, a bottle or glass will break in his hand due to a careless toss, and leave a scar on his hand in the process. Other than the minuscule scars here and there along his hands, Aeron doesn't sport very many. He does have underneath his right eye where a piece of glass managed to get stuck during a bar fight. He was lucky enough he didn't lose the entire eye, however; that is the only prominent mark on his skin... if it could even be considered prominent due to its size.
Bartenders aren't exactly picky about their partners. The same goes for Aeron. He isn't biased against a person's gender, and could be generally happy with any kind of partner, granted his partner is also capable of understanding what comes first. His sister, his work, and any relationship thereafter is the order in how Aeron views things. His mother died when he was still a child, leaving him and his sister in the care of their father. With their father constantly gone, working to keep them safe, he was left to care for Rebecca. His sister will always be the most important thing to him and as long as his potential partners know that she comes first, he could be content. Relationships are a come and go kind of thing for him, and he isn't exactly a hopeful romantic. He is realistic in his views of love, and thinks that, maybe one day, he can find someone to spend whatever life he has left with. In the meantime, family and work come first. At least until Rebecca is old enough to care for herself. Who knows what possibilities might open up once that happens?

--» Mixologist || Aeron is a bartender. In order to be able to work at the bar, he was required to go through a few training classes. Those classes involved learning how to mix drinks, and serve them properly. Not only is he capable of pouring them, he is also capable of mixing some of the best drinks around. Most people who visit the bar he works for always request him to fix them up. His personal favorite mix happens to be the French Kiss, though. It's a fairly easy drink to mix, however; it isn't the reason why it's his favorite. It didn't earn its name for nothing.
--» Chef || Aeron is a single dad. Not only does he work to support his younger sister, he also does most of the housework and keeps her fed. He has learned to cook in ways that would almost shame the most renowned chef in the area. He has implemented this skill in his job area as well, working as not only the bartender, but as the chef. It's a bit more work, really, but it helps pay what needs to be paid. And it keeps his sister from having to take a job herself. His favorite dish to make would be Chicken Alfredo, for some odd reason. Maybe because it's his sister's favorite?
--» Eidetic Memory || Usually, adults are not capable of eidetic memory either because of age, or some other problem that arises. Aeron, however, has not lost this ability. He is able to retain information and recite it back almost perfectly, of being able to see something once and be able to describe it down to the last detail. It has come in handy for his line of work, having to memorize people's orders and what they are currently being served. This, by all means, does not make him a genius. He may be able to recall information down to the last detail, even from years ago, but being a genius is a completely different aspect. He is fine with that, actually.

--» Obsessive Compulsive || Not completely O.C.D., but he does border along the lines of it. There are certain little peeves he has, and certain little rituals he does before mixing a drink, cooking, or even organizing his bookshelf. For example, before mixing a drink, all containers must be facing the same way, have the same height, and be completely spotless. If there is even a remote trace of a water stain on the glass, he will take a towel to it and clean it until it is quite literally spotless. He also has to have things in color coordination.
Sassy; lively, bold, and full of spirit; cheeky.
Aeron is one of those people who would have no problem walking up to a total stranger, and dragging them into a long winded conversation. He is naturally a people-person, someone who enjoys the company of others and isn't afraid of tossing himself into the mix. Granted, this might not always end well since some people might not like him butting into their business unannounced. He's had his fair share of black eyes for such occasions, but it hasn't deterred him from seeking a different approach. The type of job Aeron has requires him to be a social person, and this is how he is naturally. He has no problems picking up a conversation with a complete stranger, and usually does in order to break the ice with someone. It is no secret that people have a hard time starting conversations, and in order to break that awkwardness, Aeron will put himself in the position of ice-breaker.
He's typically a friendly guy, and easy to approach. He isn't the type to turn away an ear simply because someone is chatting too much. He is, instead, the one leaning over the counter, giving his undivided attention. He is also a natural flirt. He will do it shamelessly, regardless of who it is, and usually, he can be seen flirting with multiple people at once. Some say this is because it earns him better tips, however; Aeron's always been like this. It just happens to have the added perk of earning him those extra tips. He isn't, however, overly flirty with people. He knows when he is making someone uncomfortable, and will usually stop and apologize. In a way, it makes him a little soft-hearted. He would rather make someone happy and smile, rather than make them upset and probably angry with him.
His priority is the happiness of others, but he is a realist and knows that there will always be that one person who doesn't like him simply just because. It doesn't phase him much; he has other works of art to attend to. Aeron tends to exude an air of confidence, and perhaps rightly so. He isn't ashamed to be the person that he is, but he isn't so conceited that he would use it to his advantage either. He knows what he wants, and he goes after it. If he fails, he'll pick himself back up and try again. Not exactly the type to give up, Aeron will work towards something, even if it seems impossible, until he either achieves it, or if it is no longer available to him.
Dedicated would probably be the wrong word to use for it, but it would be a start in the right direction. He is also a bit sassy, but perhaps not in the rude remark kind of way. It's more-so that he is capable of holding his own against sarcastic people and isn't afraid to be a little sarcastic himself. He always seems rather jovial about it though, armed with a smile on his face, and a twinkle in his eye. There is, perhaps, very little that can get Aeron down, and tends to take things in stride. Regardless, Aeron is rather spirited in his things, and always gives his all in something. There is no half-assing with him, and once he is committed to something, one can usually be assured that he will see it through to the end.
No matter what.

Aeron's life story isn't all too interesting. He was born to Michelle and Jonathan Duvall, both who were not exactly ready for children. Even though nowadays, there is a need to repopulate, Michelle and Jonathan weren't ready to make a contribution to the world, however; mistakes happen, and as a result, they received Aeron. Much of his childhood was revolved around spending time in school, and at church. His parents weren't exactly a religious bunch, but they did believe enough to attend. Aeron, as a curious babe, often looked to the church with awe and wonder, and at one time, wanted to join the monastery when he was old enough. He wanted to know more about the outside world, what it was like before Ragnarok, and how much things had changed. This curiosity, however, dwindled down to nothing when his younger sister was born.
Rebecca, being a sickly child, often had to stay home for the first years of her life, having had to start school a little later than what was normal given her circumstances. Aeron, however, took the role of older brother a bit too seriously. He watched after her like a hawk, making sure she always had what she needed and opted to pick her up from school when both of their parents were working late. Even though his mother worked as an Elementary Teacher, there were days she had to stay longer. Aeron did not mind, and actually enjoyed it. He was about ten years old when he lost his mother. She had the misfortune of staying out late one night, and never made it home. Two days later, her body was found, and it was evident of what had happened. A vampire had murdered his mother, and Aeron was devastated. With only his father for guidance and support, Aeron took it upon himself to be a care-provider for Rebecca.
She took their mother's death the hardest, and Aeron did what he could to make her happy again. Though she still suffers from depression every now and then, Aeron managed to bring her back to a decent degree. When he was old enough, he took a job to help his father support their housing. They didn't make a lot of money, and three mouths was not exactly easy to feed. His memory recall was what earned him his spot as a bartender at one of the bars in London. It didn't offer a lot, however; he managed what he could with it and is currently content with where he is at. His sister is currently in her last year of school, and Aeron has been contemplating a change of scenery as of late. Rumor has it, that he has set his eye back on the church, however; he doesn't want to join as one of the priests or such. He is much more interested in the Order of Mismar, and its machinations.
|:M o t i v e:|
Aeron might not be the most dedicated person to the religion, or the church, however; he understands the need to protect. Having done so for years, he wants to contribute in making the world a little safer, if possible. What would be the point in only protecting his sister in this world if he cannot do so from the outside world. He already lost his mother to a vampire attack, and he does not wish to lose anyone else. In a way, he'd join as a mild case of someone who wants revenge, but also to make some difference in the world, given that he is more likely to be killed in his first mission... which would therefore be meaningless. It wouldn't stop him from wanting to join, though.
