Imagine your basic All-American, preppy male and you'll have Aaron's style. He dresses conservatively and modestly whenever possible, not wanting to show too much skin. Aaron wears the collared shirts and khaki pants, only adding a jumper or sports jacket if he feels cold. He dresses formally, which makes him stick out from the other students at his high school. Aaron likes to keep everything about himself neat. His hair always styled neatly, although it tends to become messy after so long. He bathes and showers regularly, hating to feel dirty in any way. Aaron refuses to get any piercings or tattoos under his father's influence, although the idea isn't totally unappealing. Aaron has a skinny frame, toned from being on the swim team, but he is considered lanky. He's slightly taller than average, but Aaron slouches, appearing smaller.

PERSONALITYXXX Looking at Aaron, he seems like a nice, young man. He is a warm and friendly person who is always willing to talk to the new student at school or help a little old lady cross the street. Aaron cares about people and truly wants everyone to happy. He desires unity among those around him and despises people who go out of their way to ruin someone's day. Aaron is a practical person, ruled by action. He thrives by helping others and it makes feel good about himself; being needed makes him feel important. Aaron was raised to be selfless and to look after those who have fallen in their path. He is loyal to a fault, not wanting to turn his back on someone who needs him.
With all his extroverted and caring nature lies another side, Aaron puts his all into people and that is what makes him unbearable to be around. Aaron can't stand being left out and will force himself into situations where he doesn't need to be to feel involved. He views himself as a helper and can't stand not helping. Aaron has been called needy many times. Aaron is a people-pleaser, going along with whatever the crowd does. He sticks to his religious principles, but will go along with almost anything in order to 'fit in.' He cares about his image and doesn't want his image tarnished.
All his life, Aaron felt he was stuck in a box. He never had room to grow or show who he would like to be. Aaron comes across as a 'higher than thou,' rich kid, with how he relates everything he says to scripture. Sometimes you can see the cracks through his mask, he's so tired of pretending. You see hints of a boy who wants to be loved unconditionally and be cared for the way he does for others. He wants to be able to share his sharp tongue and sarcastic nature, even if it may come across as rude. Aaron has social intelligence with other people so he knows he can share himself with and who will be his downfall. He won't give up on you, but he won't divulge too much about himself. He can't express his negative emotions in a way that is healthy, because he had a chance to act on them. He can come across as whiny when he tries to act on these emotions.
HISTORYXXX Aaron has been Oakville his entire life. His father, Alejandro, was a foreigner, traveling through the United States in search of work. Anna was a high school senior working at the local coffee shop, entranced by the man who always came in dirty from a hard days work. The two were married after two months, insisting it was love at first sight. Alejandro became involved with the local parish, since religion was important to their family. They quickly became involved with Alejandro becoming the pastor and Anna running the business side.
The couple wanted children right away, thus came Aaron and his younger sister, Joanna. Later came, his younger brother, John Paul, and Elizabeth. Anna's family came from money as they were heavily involved in real estate so they spoiled the children when they could, but kept them humble as Alejandro never lost touch during his migrant days. They raised their children in the church, wanting them to feel the love that God offers them and to encourage them to live in a pure way. Aaron took to it the most out of his siblings. He was an active participant in church, and would evangelize to anyone who would listen. The message of his Savior was one worth telling.
Growing up, Aaron was given a tough role in life. His sister was the rebel child so he was often pressed to be the 'good one,' never to make a mistake in fear of ruining their family's name. The fact he was religious and always talking about it scared some of his classmates away. Aaron became known as the 'Jesus Freak' and was often ostracized from events, due to people worrying he would tell on them. It was a difficult role to play, but he did it well. Aaron was the perfect child, never doing a thing wrong.
Aaron began to sense he was different when puberty set in. While he enjoyed romantic affections from females, he was only attracted to males sexually. It was difficult to acknowledge this truth about himself. Aaron couldn't come out to his family. His father made a point to say in church that if you act on your homosexual it's a sin. He made a point to say that it isn't a sin to be gay, but in private, he would go off saying that was a sin too. He joined the swim to throw off suspicion, although he does like the exercise. Aaron knew he could never come out and it's a secret that's been slowly killing to keep.
It's senior year and Aaron couldn't be more excited to graduate and leave Oakville. He had been accepted to Cambridge in the United Kingdom, where he planned to go study psychology and music. His family didn't know and he hadn't planned on telling anyone. He was doing to disappear and live his life away from the prying eyes. The situation he finds himself facing has put these plans on hold. Aaron planned to cut all of these people out of his life and now he finds himself with a leadership position on top of that. He doesn't know what to make of this new world, but he's determined to make the best of it.
