Age: 26

Physical Description:
Aaron stands in at an intimidating 5 foot 7 inches with short, brown mullet and shit brown eyes. He has an athletic build that is shown clearly in his Neural Interface Suit (NIS), a skin tight suit required form him to properly interface with his armor. Aaron's skin is white with little tanning, but a wide variety of scars adorning it, from chemical burns to bullet marks.

Costume:

The suit increases Aaron's height to 7 feet and 5 inches.

Powers:

• Superhuman Durability: The mix of a force and acceleration reducing systems and the advanced alloy the suit uses allow Aaron to survive being thrown through buildings and direct hits from plasma attacks. The suit is not magnetic, but the outer shell is conductive with the inner shell being insulating.
• Superhuman Strength: The servos and high-strength motors within Aaron's suit allow him to randomly go "I feel like this truck should be 500 feet in that direction."
• Superhuman Speed: Despite the bulkiness of Aaron's suit, it allows him to run up to 40 miles per hour and maneuver slightly faster than when he isn't wearing it.
• Walking Brick: Thanks to the weight of his suit, Aaron's effective weight is just over 5 tons.
• Screw Gravity: Aaron's suit has an anti-gravity propulsion system, allowing him to reduce his downward weight and fly at a max speed of 500 miles per hour (about 75 miles per hour below long range jet cruise speed). When flying, Aaron can deploy plane like wings to give better high-speed maneuvering.
• Stasis Bubble: Aaron can create a bubble where time is stopped, but only for those initially caught in the bubble. If one enters the bubble, or exits and reenters, they will not experience the stasis. If something is manipulated in the bubble, it remains as is until the bubble is stopped, or the object exits the bubble. The system can only create one bubble at a time and only for about one minute at a time due to heat issues.
• Armory from Nowhere: Aaron can reach behind him and pull out any of five weapons that he has stowed away in a pocket dimension. They include a minigun, magazine-fed missile launcher (can fire dumb, heatseeking, radar guided, and position guided missiles), automatic grenade launcher, belt-fed anti-vehicle machine gun, and an anti-armor sniper rifle.
• Marksman: If given a clear line of sight, Aaron can drop a target at a half mile with his sniper rifle.
• Swordsman: Aaron constantly keeps a greatsword of the same alloy as his suit on his back, and he knows how to use it with one hand and an energy shield that forms on his left arm.
• Brawler: Given the amount of bar fights that Aaron gets into trying to prove that he is "awesome," Aaron has become very good at fist fighting, and gets even better when in his armor.
• Self-Repairing: In the rare case that the armor that Aaron wears gets damaged, it can repair itself, slowly. Anything larger than a bullet hole is just more effective to take back and repair by hand.
• Automated Assistant: For the sake of navigation and long distance travel, Aaron has Sia, or Synthetic Intelligence Assistant. Sia can also handle mass data sifting and hacking (thought normally Aaron likes to do the hacking himself), and can outperform 50 military grade AIs, working together, at nearly any task.
• Neural Improvements: As long as he is wearing his NIS, Aaron is equivalent to a lesser average level super in physical strength and speed (both reaction and movement). The NIS also connects Aaron to Sia.

Power level: Artificial (Heightened)

Secret Identity: When Alloy Aaron needs to not be an over-confident and egotistical Defender, he becomes Aaron Hugird, a humble and shy inventor and tinkerer. When in his secret identity, the NIS is usually hidden under his clothing. He takes on the same confidence that he has in his armor when has been drinking.

Personality:
Cocky. Aaron is very cocky. When in his armor, he believes himself to be near invincible and is always looking to prove this. He is likely to pick fights with supers rather than trying to subdue his targets peacefully. He will often go to great lengths to show off, but only if he knows he can. If Aaron realizes that a particular enemy is actually a threat to him, he will quickly go from showing off to being completely serious. When a friend is threatened, Aaron will forego his cockiness for a careful and methodical approach to the problem.

Aaron is also bull headed, refusing to accept that a problem cannot be solved. He will often brush off the advice of others when it does not coincide with his method of approach. There are only two exceptions to these rules: Aaron considers time to be the only enemy he can't beat and when Sia presents a new method of approach, Aaron takes it into serious consideration.

Background:
Born in Pawa, the humble little Hugird child was often envious of those with powers. With every attempt at gaining powers himself, Aaron's parents worried about him and their money, which quickly began to dwindle. When Aaron was about 12, his parents had enough of his constant tries to become superhuman and said that Aaron would have to earn his own money. They were not expecting just how intelligent Aaron was.

Starting his path to wealth, Aaron created a basic AI that could accurately what items would become popular several months before they became so. With a couple of tests on just how effective the AI was, Aaron began selling his first product. It was a massive hit with investors and stock traders. As the AI truly took off, Aaron worked harder and harder to create a disguise as to who created and sold the AI.

Eventually, the military got hold of one of a copy of the AI created by Aaron, and contacted his seller identity. This was the first of many times that Aaron would use this identity to gain clients for which he would create AI, which has caused him to amass a wealth he works to keep secret. Aaron has been doing this since.

When he turned 18, Aaron finished the project he had started when he was 14 and realized that he would never gain powers of his own. A suit of powered armor that would protect him from supers as well as give him the ability to actively fight them. This version lacked access to a pocket dimension and flight, and only had rudimentary versions of Sia and the strength and speed enhancement. This suit became Alloy Aaron when he took it out for a field test, fighting the super mob-boss Drac Kell. Aaron had not realized that the entire fight was recorded, or that his adversary was someone so big, until he had turned on the news to watch while he was repairing his armor.

A few versions of the suit later, Aaron joined the Defenders as Alloy Aaron. He has spent the last 7 years working for them and keeping his face hidden from even his closest colleagues.

Other:
Aaron has only lost twice, the first time being because his suit ran out of power and the second time being because his limb motors locked up mid fight. Both issues have since been fixed.
