Name: Aries Cyric
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Race: Enhanced Human
Physical Description: Though Aries was a blonde from the moment he was yanked from his mothers womb, the shade lasted only a few years. As he grew older, the ebony color of his hair seemed to match the mysterious persona that surrounded him at all times. Emerald like eyes shone even in the darkest of nights, though most of the time his left eye was hidden beneath unruly bangs that never could be tamed. Tuffs of his locks rested against the back of his neck, just below his ears. Standing at 6 feet exactly, he weighs in about 165 pounds, the majority of that muscle mass. Every inch of his bronze flesh was carefully tended to and despite the many fights he found himself in, no scar could be found. That of course didn’t mean he didn’t have any scars, they just weren’t visible to the naked eye, aside from what looked to be a scar beneath his left eye. What few freckles he had were scattered across his flawless face and the only other markings upon it were two dimples located on either side of his mouth, visible of course only when he was smiling.
Not one for flashy clothing, Aries dons any assortment of wife-beater tanks and a pair of regular blue jeans, faded from years of wear. That of course doesn’t mean he recycles daily, he just has a lot of faded jeans. Perhaps his favorite piece of clothing is his mixture of silk boxers, each one depicting a different design. His foot apparel is just as simple, ranging from old beat up tennis shoes to combat/hiking boots. On a cool day he can be seen sporting a red and black lettermen’s jacket with athletic symbols that represent his achievements in sports such as football, soccer, and basketball.
Personality Description: Despite having so many accomplishments, sports wise, Aries was not a snob or one of those arrogant jocks. He was a friend to those often neglected due to their unfavorable position and was often a protector to the weak. Ignoring all the pleas for him to be friends with just the popular kids, Aries made it clear that neither money nor power could sway him by continuing to defend those less fortunate. He respected those that worked to be who they were and despised those that had gifts given to them. Family was very important to him and on numerous occasions he could be seen protecting his little sister or sparring against her in the back yard. This loyalty was shown even with those that he loved, such as Ashton. However, at the first sign of danger to anyone he cares about, another side of Aries could be seen. The sweet disposition that he showed to all, except his enemies would quickly turn into an unforgiving rage that could be quelled only by his sister.
It wasn’t until later on in his life did his personality shift slightly. Though he still protected the weak, his methods were filled with anger and distrust. Deep down there was remorse for things that were done that he felt he could have stopped, but didn’t. It didn’t matter that what happened wasn’t his fault, he still blamed himself. He no longer participated in sports nor did he associate with anyone really, except those that happened to get close to him. When it came down to it, the only person he ever really trusted was Nicci, his sister.
Character Equipment: He doesn’t carry anything fancy because he’s not one that goes out looking for a fight. However, after being in a tight pinch during a couple of fights with gang members that had actual weapons, he decided it was time to get some. After saving up some cash, he arranged with a weapons dealer to sell him a set of katanas as well as some short swords that he could slide up in the sleeves of his jacket. In addition to the blades, he confiscated two .50 AE desert eagles. The katanas are sheathed in crossing cases that slide across his back, the straps turning into holsters, which house the DE’s. The two short swords are invisible to all when he’s wearing his jacket seeing how they’re strapped onto his forearms.
Other than his weapons, he wears a bracelet, it black in color. He also sports a simple silver banded watch and a silver necklace with Greek letters that spell out Ashton. He carries with him a pair of sunglasses with dark black lenses to hide away his emotions and annoyance.
Abilities: [WIP - more to come as he grows (Not that kind of grow, pervert)].
Demonic Summoning: Aries is able to control and manipulate the shadows all around him, the power is only useful at night or during a storm. In the shadows lie tiny demonic like creatures, that once summoned will shred anyone attacking him into pieces. They will not stop until he either sends them back into the shadows, his energy runs low, or their task is done.
Character History: Aries was born to Em and Nicholas Cyric on June 20th during one of the worst storms known to man. Two years later, Nicci, his little sister was born during a heavy snow storm. Right off the bat, the two were close and only argued when she was doing something that was dangerous, which was quite often. Things were perfect and he had little to complain about. Between participating in sports and helping out people, he was busy but enjoyed it that way. Despite his insane schedule, he always found a time to hang out with Nicci and made sure she knew self-defense moves so that she could always protect herself when he wasn’t around. During middle school, Ashton became his first love and it didn’t matter to him that she wasn’t a popular kid or even rich. Her heart was made of gold and she had the sweetest personality that nearly everyone loved about her. It was the ones that were jealous of the two that were the first to ruin his utopia. One fateful night during high school as he exited the gym after practice, he found her body lying across his car, her form riddled with bullets. He never found out who killed her until years later when the three responsible admitted it to him moments before they were executed by some renegade police officers who were then shot by other police officers.
It was after her death that he began to change. He spent more and more time away from home and school, going only to his classes. He of course continued to protect the weak because he didn’t want the same thing to happen to them, but there was no longer the attachment he once had. During his time away, Nicci found herself in hell and despite the lessons taught to her by Aries, couldn’t stop her father from abusing her both physically and emotionally as well as sexually, this continuing from her childhood. Things changed for the two of them when he came home one day and found his father beating his mother and Nicci. Without even needing to think about it, he rushed towards the man he had always looked up to and attacked him. As he beat his father away from his mother and sister, it became obvious that he was too late. The woman that gave him guidance and life lay on the ground, her breath beaten out of her. Nicci had moved herself away from the chaos, curled up in a tiny ball, sobbing from pain and from the loss of her mother. It wasn’t until hours later did he get out of Nicci what had happened and as he heard the news of what his father had done, the straw upon the camels back snapped. He attacked his father with a newfound rage, and killed him. After the police came to clean it all up and Aries became Nicci’s sole guardian did their lives begin to change for the better. After the two finished high school, Nicci left for dance school in California while Aries moved to Gotham in hopes that he would get a job working for Wayne Enterprises so that he would be able to find his own niche in the world. Of course, things did not go as planned.
