Aaron Vutan

Physical Appearance

• Medium-length chocolate brown hair
• Brown eyes
• Fair skinned with a mild tan
• Medium height
• Physically fit with an athletic build

Clothing Style

Aaron tends to dress rather simply and typically for an active boy in middle school. He tends to wear mostly T-shirt or hoodies with jeans and tennis shoes, usually preferring cooler colors or duller/more earthy shades, with most warm colors being more muted than vibrant. Oddly enough he usually tends to wear warmer colors only in the winter, mostly just because of the play on words. He has a mildly sporty vibe to his outfits, but some of his outfits are a touch nerdy as well with referential shirts to certain games or movies. He wouldn't say his look is particularly striking in any sense, but that might be a good thing considering how noticeable his personality is.

Personality

Aaron is a social and energetic boy who always looks on the bright side and could be described as a bit of an oddball. Most people who encounter him find him to be a little weird or quirky, but he tends to just have a lot of energy while also being intelligent, a critical thinker, and very curious. He's normally pretty mellow during standard conversations and is capable of behaving himself well around authority figures or people he respects, but otherwise he tends to seem a little weird since he typically blurts out whatever is on his mind and asks a lot of unusual questions. Peers in his age group can either find him funny or weird and annoying, but most adults tend to just see him as a typical young teen with a clever but somewhat overactive mind and imagination. He especially loves riddles and getting to work out complicated solutions rather than always getting instant gratification without applying any effort. He has an optimistic view on how he approaches his problems and on life in general, which makes him a pretty resilient and hardy boy. He tries his best to not let things get him down, but this also means he sometimes puts up with a lot of crap because he usually doesn't call out other people when they become a persistent problem for him. He can be a little too stubborn in trying to tough things out, and he at times feels he shouldn't take his troubles too seriously. Most people see him as a funny and cheerful guy, so he tries not to break that persona and risk disappointing others.

Backstory

Aaron was accepted into the Hateulots private school system at a relatively young age, and upon rifting testing he realized he had potential for multiple rifting divisions. Before moving to the Hateulots community though, his father passed away from cancer, an issue both of his parents have been dealing with for years now. After a few years his mother remarried, and the son of his new stepfather, Kyle Arkvynd, was also a student at Hateulots. They generally got along as stepbrothers and classmates, but their differing personalities could also cause some friction between them. Unfortunately a few years later after gradually settling into the new family dynamic, Aaron's mother also lost her battle to cancer, leaving Aaron with Kyle and his father.

Aaron, now in his last year of middle school, is torn between staying in the community with his stepfather and stepbrother or going to live with his biological uncle's family that currently lives in Japan. He enjoys the community he is currently in and learning rifting, but he feels somewhat alienated in his own home with his stepfather now gravitating back toward his ex-wife and Kyle becoming even more moody from the stress of the situation.
