Background: Aaron was your ordinary high school student from America; smart, athletic, and every girl's dream. That is until the day he was given a package from his archeologist grandfather, containing an artifact from an unknown civilization. In it, he found an ancient ring of the constellation, Phoenix, and with it, the Guardian Beast of the Sun, Kerberos. He has been chosen as the knight, Phoenix Blade, and in time and growth, he becomes the hero he's read about in his books. He lives with his bizarre father and his hyper sister, who loves him to death. His mother passed away giving birth to his sister, Sarah. After some strange coincidence, their father is reassigned to Tokyo, Japan; which by some coincidence are where the other knights are located and the Ultimate Evil is waiting for him.
When he arrives to Japan, he is enrolled to Azabu Juuban Junior High; the same high school where Serena, Mina, Lita, and Ami are in. He and Ami seem to hit it off when they become friends; she's the one who helps him by teaching him how to read Kanji. In time they both seem to have the same dream; a dream in which two figures are on a balcony overseeing the Earth, and in between they kiss. This has become uncertain to Aaron, but to Ami, it has become something to uncover in her past. But also between them, even though one or the other don't, can't, or wont see it, they have a growing connection that may become more than friendship.
He enjoys simple things like repairing his motor bike and riding on it; feeling the wind in his face and seeing everything go by. He seems to get a thrill just riding it all the time. It's also a fact that with Ami's help, he gets a job at a local Auto shop to help his family pay the bills and keep up tuition.
For some strange reason, the enemy needs him alive, and will slay anyone who gets in their way. In time, he learns of his past and finds out that he failed during the battle between the Silver Moon Kingdom and the Dark Kingdom while battling the Heartless. Now that the fight begins again, he's determined not to make the same mistake he made again.
Personality: He's a guy that's always there for his friends or for others; he'll never turn his back on anyone. But from normal 16 year old with an "eccentric" father and hyperactive sister - to a legendary warrior of an ancient kingdom, is one big change that has occurred in Aaron's life in the past few months. Even with him having such a huge responsibility as finding the other knights, protecting the future princesses of a new forged kingdom, and defeating a dark lord and a massive armada bent on destroying the world. Aaron has every right to feel as paranoid as he does about keeping his alter ego a secret from his friends and loved ones whenever possible.
He is a pretty Great-A student but sometimes comes off as an idiot, though this is generally played off as being due to being dense rather than actual stupidity. He is frequently shown to have more talent in mechanics and music, but still manages in other studies.
However, his paranoia has yet to do a thing about his boundless courage and determination. When his friends, family, or those who mean more to him than friends are in danger, he can become rather enraged and over-protective. In the end of the fight though, it's his loyalty to his cause, along with his faith in the love of his peers, helps him to overcome the obstacles that upfront him, and will transform him into a hero.
Skills: He is currently a novice swordsman, but in time his past life skills seem to be weeding their way back to him. He's currently learning the Shaolin martial arts from Rei's temple for meditative purposes, but can be used in some way as an offensive form of attack, but not defensive. He's also skilled in repairing vehicles, especially his motor bike.
Powers: Phoenix Blade's power stems from the Phoenix, the Flame Bird. But his attacks are based of that of the Phoenix:
Transformation: his ring is his transformation key, and his phrase is, "Phoenix Blade Armor Activate!" he is engulfed in red and gold flames that form around his body, enclosing in him like a cocoon. The flames then burst open and reveal him in his Phoenix blade armor.
Phoenix Flame Talons: in this attack, the talon tips of his gauntlets glow with energy flames dancing around them. Then he slashes them towards his enemies, sending talon-like fireballs towards them. Upon impact, they slash and burn.
Phoenix Wing: in this attack, a wall of fire is thrown at the enemy like a torpedo from one vertical swipe of the Phoenix Zweihander, engulfing the enemy in a wildfire until they're nothing but dust.
Phoenix Flight: this is not an attack, but more of a transportation power that can be activated without calling the name of the move out. On his back, two fire wings that are about a wingspan of six feet in length appear and can give him the ability to fly at tremendous speed, or he can just hover in the air.
Phoenix Inferno: this is the most powerful ability that Aaron has at his disposal. His Zweihander suddenly glows flame red orange. And with one mighty swing of it, a tremendous powerful flame is shot straight at the enemy, destroying them out of existence.
The Phoenix State: Aaron is not only the Phoenix Blade Knight, but is host to the Phoenix Spirit, a spirit continually reincarnated since time immemorial during the Silver Millennium and beyond. In life-threatening situations or instances of extreme emotional stress, Aaron involuntarily channels this spirit as a defense mechanism, entering the powerful Phoenix State. His eyes, mouth, and tattoos of the Phoenix on the chestplate of his armor, as well as the topaz cyrstal in his helmet, glow burning yellow, and the spirit either uses fire as an immediate means of self-preservation, or lapses into a dangerous fit of elemental volatility until Aaron is calmed down.
This spiritual state is also the manifestation of all the Knight's previous incarnations, which allows Aaron to tap into the sum total of their power. When in this state the Phoenix Blade Knight is at his most powerful, but also his most vulnerable. If Aaron dies while in the Phoenix State, the previous incarnations of the Phoenix Blade Knight will die along with him, and the cycle of reincarnation will be permanently broken.
