To complete this outfit he wears a pair of White Vans laced up with a White string. Finally, he has a chain with a couple of dog tags hanging from them and a silver chain hooked onto one of his belt loops on the right side that holds his wallet in place. (Seems pretty average so far, ngl. Nothing much I can say)
Background: Aidan grew up in a household where respect was a rarity and everyday living was trying to find the money for the next meal. He was born to Barry and Margret Luccio in the slums of San Fransisco and had no siblings or any other family that he knew of. His father was a drunk and his mother sold herself for money. They used to fight all the time leaving Aidan to leave the trailer frequently and get into trouble. When Aidan was 9 years old he met his Uncle Ronnie who was the closest thing to a crutch to lean on. A couple of months later, Ronnie molested Aidan and to this day that memory still haunts him. His father died of alcohol poisoning and because his mother had no time to spend with him, Aidan was virtually alone. By the time High School came around, Aidan learned how to take care of himself. He taught himself how to drive and came home to an empty house leaving him to invite his friends over for: "Passing The Joint" and engage in other bad activities. Sophomore year, Aidan was assigned a therapist who told him(Excuse my French) to "Stop the bullshit and focus on something more valuable in life." This was a huge wake up call for Aidan, he boggled down on his studies and was accepted into San Fransisco's School of the Arts where he Majored in Theater. He is now in his second year in college and his leaving the past behind. (Pretty decent. But you focus on the bad stuff a tad too much -which i get, he's supposed to be from a bad place, and it's what his backstory calls for. But really, it'd help a lot to add highlights that can make him into who he is today. Neglect wouldn't exactly make him into a good person, as someone who has gone through neglect I know what it can do to a person. It sucks, and honestly makes people have a bitter taste if you bring up the wrong thing. A lot have hair pin triggers, and are known to lock themselves away from humanity to escape the distress of someone abandoning them again. So, again, maybe add something that made him happier? Did he have someone his age who could've been there for him after a certain point? Or was he truly alone, with not a single soul to give him cmfort in those trying times? Explain all that you can! Backstories are what makes, or breaks a character. It'll also help seal their personalit yinto that of realism and help connect others to him.)
Personality: Aidan is actually a pretty nice guy despite the bad-ish persona. Aidan has a big heart and wears it on his sleeve because he would like to make up for all the times he was neglected as a kid. Aidan shows his emotions REALLY well and can't hide them to save his life, thus explaining the REALLY BAD anger issues he has when he is pushed slightly. He tries his best to make people feel good and get people somewhat involved in any activity he's participating in, so I guess you can call him a feel-gooder. He likes to make people feel good, obviously, and has the whole: "We just need to vibe and kick it" mentality. On the downside, he's quick to pop off if he feels the least bit disrespected and it's very hard to calm him down afterwards. He will throw things, he will punch glasses and he will throw fists if provoked enough. That's one of the issues he's hoping to work on while at the house. Overall, Aidan is a really good guy with a really bad temper when pushed enough. (Hmm... I can see how his backstory would make him into this type of person- But you need to add more! He has only two traits that you focused on. If you want him to believeable you should consider adding more, instead of jsut giving him two and focusing on them then saying 'ey ok thats a wrap'. Cause, you know, that's boring. Give him traits that make him more... human. You'll be happy you did when people aren't just focusing on these two little things. A good example is Dio Brando of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. He went through neglect, abuse, and had to watch his father drown away all of the love of his mother up until her death, and then continue to watch the man drink himself to death. He turned into a manipulative, dog-kicking, literal sack of shit who no character in jjba could love. He had the mentality that he was the most important person in the world, and that he deserved everything handed to him, but he didnt. He was a horrid person who made up for his life by making it worse. He developes more as the story goes on, but not in any good ways. He continues his descent into being probably the most interesting villain I've seen. Aidan can use more traits that will help him develop as a character, just like Dio. Traits will change how a character is portrayed at every twist and turn. If you give him more negative traits, he'll end up being a villain or anti-hero, if you give him more positive ones, he'll end up like Jonathan Joestar, and be a hero of sorts.)
Interesting Fact: Aidan has a clicking noise that he does when he's feeling stressed or anxious. He'll stare off with his hands cupped on his mouth and make a clicking noise, not too often but if someone is paying attention to him they will notice. It started when he was in middle school and he has no idea why. (A sign of Anxiety? Okay, cool. Lots of people have varying degress of anxiety, so his seems to less severe, more like he has had enough interaction with people that it hadn't devolved into something horrible and life destroying. But if you wanna go down the life destroying Anxiety path- Ooooh boy can I ever help with that.)
Phobia: Explosions. He can't stand the sight of seeing something explode or hearing the sound of an explosion. (... No explanation? Phobias have a reason, what is his? Always remember- Giving reasons to why certain things are happening will not hinder a character, it will do the exact opposite! It'll help them seem like people, and not two-dimensional things you put on paper.)
Favorite Things to do: He loves to act, he lives for it actually. He wants to be a bartender, so mixing up drinks and getting feedback is also a like for him. Finally, he loves to swim. It's almost like he would rather live in the water than in real life. (Alright, alright, I can live with these. I won't be too nit-picky- But just lemme say this- Having things he loves to death is great! But having too many... Eugh.)
Least Favorite Things to do: Shopping. Shopping for anything just pisses him off. Visit museums or Historical sights. BORING! And lastly, sitting still. He always needs to be doing something, it's a must!
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual. And he doesn't think it's that important of a detail... (Alright, good to see Bisexual being used, as it's always 'Straight people this! Straight people that!' Since I'm pretty gay it's great to see at least some representation of sexualities that aren't considered the norm. Like, honestly!)
Virgin?: No. He's done it a few times, man and woman... Also(I hope this is not weird), in a man-man relationship, he likes to be the guy. Lol (HHHHMMMM... The proper term is 'top', not 'man' as man says that he still thinks of the relationship as something that is strictly between a man and woman. Changing the wording to something to be correct will also help with writers who are queer.)
Potty Mouth?: Yes he is. Not constantly but he swears a good amount.
Drink?: Even if he's still underage. Yes.
Smoke?: Both Cigarettes and Mary Jane.
Drugs?: If he's at a club or a dope party. With a little convincing, Ecstasy is not out of the question.
Paired up?: It's your story, I am giving you total control.
If so, what's your type?: He honestly just needs a person who is going to understand him and support him, even when he's making dumb decisions. One of his rules however, whether it be girl or guy, is to not date someone that's too feminine. He likes to go out and play sports and active activities with his partners. (Try doing some research into sexualities and gender, then come back and fix this when you're more informed!)
Endurance: 6/10
Stamina: 8/10
Flexibility: 2/10
Strength: 8/10
Can you drive?: Yep, he taught himself.
Afraid of heights?: A bit. Nothing that will psych him out however.
Can you swim?: He loves it.
Know how to ride a bike?: Yes he does.
I mainly just copied my application for an OC story that I have recently created this character for. I would much appreciated it if I could get your honest opinion about him and I think it's okay if you write a chapter on him or if you decide not to. I hope you take him into consideration and I will see you around the riverbed. :)
Overall... That overly distressing backstory can be fixed up, as it puts him into dangerous territory. He's in the almost sue category, so he'll need some help to get back onto the right track. Doing research into what you don't understand will help you develope him, and also help you along the line with future characters. Research will NEVER EVER EVER hurt, and will help SOOOO much. You'll know how to portray certai nthings without being offensive to those who are what you're trying to portray! It'll especially help now that the world is moving forward with feminism, and working towards equality for all, no longer letting middle aged white-men run things- Haha- Listen to me rant about this now of all times- But yeah. Def do research and go to tvtropes to help define him.
