We're goin’ til the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground at night”

*let them see who you are,
» HAIR: Aaron has light brown hair that’s a bit shaggy and sometimes falls into his eyes if he forgets to cut it long enough.
» EYES: His eyes are just an average blue, if not on the lighter side.
» HEIGHT/WEIGHT: The boy stands at roughly 6’1” and weighs about a hundred seventy five pounds, give or take a few.
» DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: Aaron isn’t the type to go and get himself pierced a hundred times, nor get a tattoo. So there he is, nothing very distinguishing about him except maybe the way his eyes light up spectacularly when he smiles.
» STYLE: Aaron’s the type of guy who will just pick something out of his closet and go. Generally his closet does hold nice clothes though, so he isn’t likely to be out walking around in something old and raggedy.
» OVERALL: All in all, Aaron is just your average tall and lanky boy who wants to have a good time. Though sometimes it may seem Aaron should be overweight, what with his horrid eating habits, the boy keeps this extra weight off by taking jogs through the city and around school nearly twice every day. His posture isn’t perfect, though Aaron stands up straight enough to avoid hindrances when he gets older. Most often his skin is a healthy peach color, especially more so now that he likes to get out and go outside more. Facial wise, Aaron doesn’t really have something super striking about him. His jaw doesn’t go into a hard point or square, but instead tapers into what Aaron deems an average chin without any cleft or something of that sort. He smiles a lot, though no dimples appear when he flashes his white teeth. To finish it off, Aaron tends to keep his hair in good management, though sometimes it does grow a bit long and shaggy before he manages to get it cut.

» SECRETS:
-He hates that his family has so much money, and feels bad every time he walks by someone who’s obviously poor and can’t even afford their own lunch. Sometimes, if he’s alone, he’ll go and buy them a cheap meal at a nearby restaurant.
-Often he makes up the excuse that he’s going out for a jog just because he feels lonely and wants some time to think, and hopes that maybe he’ll even meet up with a friend and catch up for a while instead of just run all the time. He hates being an only child with overworked parents, because things are most often utterly boring for him.
-One of his former friends hurt him deeply, and the result of that was trust issues and borderline depression. He’s perfectly fine now though, and generally refuses to talk about the subject.

» GOALS:
-Go to college at NYU
-Travel and see the world, or at least Europe
-Be successful

» OVERALL PERSONALITY: To sum things up, Aaron is just a fairly average boy who enjoys the occasional (or more) party. He generally views parties as a type of outlet; a way for him to get out all the pent up energy that boils up inside his body during the day at school. Home isn’t much better either, in Aaron’s opinion, because his parents are always so uptight and stuffy about the things they own. Since he was a little boy, Aaron remembers being scolded and cautioned not to touch things, and not to do this or that because his parents didn’t think it would be proper. This led to Aaron’s personality going a little haywire as he grew up, leaving him with excessive desires to go out on the town and just blow his parent’s money at various shops and places to eat. That being said, he does hate being rich, because most often he’s been labeled a “spoiled brat” without people ever getting to know his true personality.

Of course, like any person, there’s obviously more to Aaron than just parties and food. He likes to go out and sightsee, most often getting to his destinations by foot. It is likely his uncle’s fault that Aaron loves hearing about traveling the world, because before his company went bankrupt Aaron’s uncle would always go places and bring souvenirs back for the little boy. In any case, Aaron grew up with a passion for other cultures, and it hasn’t diminished over the years. Aaron also believes cars to be tedious and overdone, though his father always tries to impress the opposite upon the boy. Generally Aaron and his father tend to see things in opposite ways, which led to a strained relationship that Aaron’s mother continually tries to repair with various father and son trips, something that Aaron detests. In any case, Aaron is a very laid back type of guy, which is almost the polar opposite of his uptight father.

If you piled all of his strengths and ideas and dislikes and all that together, then you’d have Aaron. He isn’t hard at all to please; just give him his iPhone and a Burger King meal and he’s set for a while. If he must though, Aaron does know how to buckle down and do his homework. Sure, it might not always be exactly right and sometimes he copies off his smarter friends, but what the hey? He’s a senior now, and the more laid back style of his personality figures it’s time to shine.

» HISTORY:
Aaron was born on a warm and sunny day in July, the 13th to be precise. He grew up a spoiled little boy with parents who often dropped him off in the arms of his beloved nanny. Growing up, Aaron found that generally his father was absent from the little photos of the “family” that were taken. Upon asking, Aaron found out that his father was “very busy” a lot with his job, so that’s why they’d hired Nanny Lils in the first place. She pampered Aaron and treated him like he was her own, and thus the two grew probably closer than Aaron ever did to either of his parents. With an occasional visit from his favorite uncle, who often showered him with odd gifts and things when he returned from his trips, Aaron’s life was pretty much set from there on.

He grew up with his father harping him about the family business, always saying that one day Aaron was going to take over as head of the cooperation and his father would retire. Once his uncle lost his job and went completely bankrupt, moving in with them instead, James Shields harped even more about the importance of money and what it’s like to have it. Yes, that was the absolute perfect future Mr. Shields had set up for his son, and he soon began direction the boy’s life to set him up for what James believed was surefire success. He sent Aaron to all of the prestigious schools of the area, and made sure his mother and Nanny Lils harassed him about his grades every chance they got. Aaron, however, was no prodigal son. He was not extremely bright nor extremely talented at something, so his father fell heavily into a clump of disappointment when he received word that Aaron’s grades were perfectly average.

After that, things with his father grew progressively more strained as Aaron headed into high school. With his father always wanting him to do more clubs and activities, as well as bring his grades up, Aaron soon feel to the pressure his father was subjecting him to and his grades slipped. It only angered his father further when Aaron was caught out at numerous parties on nights he should have been studying, but generally his mother saved Aaron the grief his father would try to give him. So instead, they did what usually would happen if his father wanted Aaron to do something; bribing. His father promised him a brand new phone if and only if he could maintain an acceptable GPA. Aaron took the deal, knowing it wouldn’t be that hard, and very recently got an iPhone for his “effort”.

Somewhere between all of that father mumbo-jumbo, Aaron joined the soccer team and managed to work his way up in soccer. His father does consider this better than “that stupid fru-fru sport of golfing” that Aaron used to play a bit when he was younger with his uncle. It wasn’t like Aaron got much support other than pride, because his father was nearly always working when Aaron had games, so Nanny Lils would go in his stead. Every year since he’s started high school, his mother has set aside one week out of the whole year for Aaron and his father to do various things together, though most often Aaron finds himself bored out of his mind as his father works on his phone or laptop. They don’t mention that to Mrs. Shields though, because it would crush her to know that her boys weren’t even bothering.

» RP SAMPLE:

Draco had been lounging in his room when he'd heard a knock at the door. He had been thinking about nothing in-particular, save for the little amount of sleep he was able to obtain anymore. In all truth, he had been sulking more than anything, but Draco would've never outright admitted it, even to himself. His appetite was slowly beginning to dissipate with his sleep, and Draco found it rather annoying. While prior to this year he could normally pride himself in his body and looks, this year he would look in the mirror and see a thin man with haunted and tired eyes staring back at him. That, in Draco's opinion, was most definitely not nearly close to being a single bit presentable. He hated that he was starting to look like the occupants of Azkaban; it was slowly grating on his temper. Draco, though he could normally hold his tongue, had recently been hard pressed to just yell and scream at someone, though he'd managed not to so far. It was unbecoming of a Malfoy, and Draco was not going to allow himself to stoop to that level.

When he had heard the knock on the door, Draco cursed under his breath but stayed on his bed. He knew if it was one of the so-called occupants of the house, then they would just walk right in. Draco had no idea who was downstairs banging on their front door, but he was in no mood to go and answer it. When the knocking continued, however, Draco finally rose from his bed with something akin to a growl. He glanced around his room and then grabbed his wand which was located on the nightstand next to his bed. As he opened the door, Draco did perk up slightly at the new possibility to vent his angered feelings at whoever was at their door. A sick part of him sort of hoped it was a muggle, but then Draco grew repulsed by that desire and had to resist the urge to vomit on the floor. He shuddered, fiddling a bit with the collar of his shirt as he stomped down the stairs.

In a few long strides, Draco had reached the front door. He paused briefly, hand hovering over the doorknob, as he waited to see if the person was still there and if they would knock again. After a moment's pause, Draco had buttoned up the front of his black robes, just about to head back to his room, when the knock came again. Draco's eyes narrowed a bit, and he tugged open the door a fraction, coming face to face with a man. Draco blinked slowly, wondering what in Merlin's name the idiot was doing on his doorstep. Before he could open his mouth and demand an answer, however, the man spoke first. Pleasantries? Draco snarled inwardly, you'd better not be here trying to sell something. Though he didn't say these things out loud, Draco could only vaguely hope that his posture was giving off waves of hostility, because that's all Draco was inclined to feel at the present time.

Instead of openly snapping at the man just yet, however, Draco decided to be a bit smoother. "Yes, brilliant afternoon," he said in his usual bored drawl. He took in the man's appearance, and felt his lip curl up into a sneer. In Draco's opinion, the man could've used a bit of better hygiene and maybe some new robes, but he wouldn't say anything...just yet. His eyebrow rose and, once noticing the man didn't seem inclined to explain why he was there without being pressed, Draco then narrowed his eyes at the man. "Well? Who are you and what the bloody hell are you doing at my house, you fool?" Draco snapped, feeling a bit better once he had. He smirked inwardly, feeling suddenly that maybe this stranger's visit would prove to be a welcomed one. Draco vaguely thought about just rifling through the man's mind, but decided that first he'd see just what the man thought he was doing there.
