Age: 17
Hair/Eyes: Red-brown/light brown
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 135-145lbs

Physical: Whippish, gymnast-type body. Small and lithe rather than thin or skinny. Long fingered hands, good for filching things and playing with knives. Sharp jawline and slightly long-ish nose. His hair is a pain to draw, but the jagged-ness suits him. As he says quite proudly in my mind while brandishing a knife, "I cut it myself!" The bangs, those two long tails that hang past his chin, are ever a source of amusement and seem to shrink and grow at random.

Skills: Aden is old hat at hunting, tracking, etc. He also has decent aim with his throwing knives and could join the acrobatic portion of the circus should he ever tire of the courier service. Two years of indentured servitude (i.e. apprenticeship) to his Uncle also gave him a pretty extensive course in runic magic even if he has no ability to apply it. His best 'skill' is probably his resiliency to injury and incredible stamina. He may not have the magic goods but he could out pace a horse no problem.

Skill Breakdown: (low (1)<-------->(6) high)
SPEED (4), STAMINA (5), STRENGTH (3), MAGIC (0), SKILL (3.5), INTELLIGENCE (3) (*note on all of these stats, they're pre-courier training)

Likes/hobbies: Fishing, eavesdropping, sleeping, petty theft
Dislikes: Cats, dogs, being bored, people who take advantage of others

Personality: Aden tends to yo-yo between absent mindedly curious and hyperactive. He has a solid hold of who he is and what he wants to do, but when it comes to personal safety or life in general his impulsive nature lands him more trouble than he can usually deal with.

There's also a bit of a distinction I want to make between 'intelligence' and 'instinct'. Being intelligent, in my mind, isn't limited to extensive knowledge about the economy or number crunching. It's also about knowing when and where to step and navigating your environment. Aden is clearly more instinct oriented. He's not a plotter, doesn't go in for mental masturbation and tends to swing wherever his gut tells him to. In this way he can be pretty damn smart about people and the places he travels through, a necessary quality to have when you're a courier.
