Character Description:

 

Aiden wears his hair closely cut to his scalp. He likes to feel the wind against his skin. There is almost always a jovial expression lining the boy’s lips and a light in his eyes. He loves his family and is extremely loyal to them, he would do anything to protect his mother, sisters and brother, and even his father though is not of the Dark. Aiden doesn’t have any typical clothing wear, but most of what he has is worn and patched because he ruins his clothes as fast as Mistress Aki can make them.

 

Character History:

 

Aiden and Kate were born to a Warder and Tower Guard. But the father didn’t know until recently that he had two children running around. Their mother had left the Tower and only found out after leaving that she was with child. She was in the middle of traveling and ended up in Arad Doman where she had the twins. When they were old enough and the weather was warm they set off to finish their quest.

They settled in Fairhaven, Cairhien, on the Rashad Horse Ranch where the twins grew up.

They grew up a bit faster than most kids, having to deal with their mother’s mental health issues, having to several times in the course of their short lives take care of her and help her relearn her life as her memory escaped her after tragedies or hardships. Both children were taught to use the Flame and Void at a very young age and were starting to learn the basics of using a quarterstaff. Their mother and father, who was also now living on the ranch, but not together as a family, taught them the value of being able to defend yourself.

They had befriended by the Master of the Ranches grandson, and when they were nine years old they both started noticing that their mother and her friends were different from others, they were always flashing hand signals and were friends with even complete strangers. They eventually confronted Taylor, who was raised as a darkfriend by his parents and grandparents (The Rashad’s). He confirmed their suspicions and the twins swore the allegiances to the Great Lord. “Everyone we know and love are your servants and we wish to help you as well.”

 

[ RP Updates that I remember happen here ]

 

The twins were aware of the things that happened but they had yet to confront their mother about their decision. It wouldn’t be until later that they would do this, they wanted some training first, so their mother couldn’t talk them out of it. Kate and Aiden were trained in addition to their mother’s teaching from Demus [PC] (one of their mother’s many lovers and only true friend.) Demus passed on the ways of being an assassin to both twins that their mother was teaching him.

Before too long, the Children of the Light came to the Ranch. The Rashad’s were all killed except for Taylor’s grandmother, Sarah, whom Cari helped look after. This was the eventual downfall of the Rashad ranch.

Taylor was now the new head of the Ranch but their mother guided him. But there were not enough workers and they all eventually moved on. Even Demus moved on.

Cari went to Tar Valon and never returned. Kate had seen a vision or something and they had told Yearn who followed Cari to the city. Aiden never really found out what happened to their mother, but it was certain she had died.

 

[ Bio updates ]

 

Kate and Aiden stayed with Sarah and Taylor for a while, but Kate was found to be able to channel. She’d been doing so for years without anyone really understanding it and she went to the White Tower.

Aiden stayed a little while longer on his own there before he too went to the White Tower. Both his parents had trained there, though no one really knew Sam had been a Tower Guard, or that he’d been high among the ranks. He’d been one of mother’s instructors and long time friends.

Aiden didn’t have any problems joining the Tower. He didn’t even have to mention names - not that he would anyway. He was already skilled with the sword, and a quarterstaff. He was skilled with the Flame and Void by the age of 5. He’d been practicing with the weapons everyday for most of his life. His mother insisted upon it.

Aiden flew through training. He knew all the Forms. He could master anything new thrown at him. His mother had taught him exactly as she’d been taught. The way of the Warder. He knew his ‘aunt’ lived there, and his sister too, but Aiden stayed away. He wanted to do this on his own - his own merit.

And maybe the Great Lord would send him a mission. But until then Aiden was content to follow in his parents' footsteps.
