Its easily the one word to describe him in full, and all one really needs. For what does this word bring to the mind, but a man 'dressed to the nines'; his dress shirt fully pressed and tie strait, with pants that have never seen a wrinkle? For that is his continuous style of clothing, suits and ties, and shiny shoes. If one were to open his closet, they would walk into what looked like the breeding ground of a suit army; each and every outfit on their own little fancy hanger.
The only times when he is not clad in a (men in black style) suit, is during the winter months, when he falls back on an old favorite style of his. '27 mobster is what many would think of this style. He wares a pair of pin stripe trousers, held up by suspenders over a plain shirt, this underwearing is covered by a large felt trench coat, and atop his head is an over-sized fedora. In the cap of his is an ancient looking playing card, its in the style of '27, is a 3 of clubs, and upon it is the faded face of Lou Cerig a 'New York Yankee'. Even when he's dressed in his more 'formal' attire, he is sometimes known to wear this hat.
Alas, clothing isn't all a man is about, and good ol' Aidy would be the one to know. Generally he presents himself with a cheeky ass smile that a person could come to love or hate with equal ease. This smile is often, and without warning, turned into a full on grin, and this is visible in the lines of his 'young' face and dancing eyes. Though, perhaps dancing is not the term to be used in lieu to his eyes.
A deep haunting green that stands starkly out against his hair (oh, his hair, we shall discuss this mess soon), and skin tone. Haunting though their color is, it isn't that, that people are taken aback by. Nah, what strikes many is the unsettling depth of his eyes. His eyes are clearly of a man who's seen years and years of life, and has finally grown to say 'fuck it all'. Although, how strange it would be for one to be able to look at him and see his past right there behind his eyes. So, instead of blaring his bodies past, his eyes tend to smolder with ill-hidden amusement at the entirity of the world.
And now, as before promised, we arrive at his hair. Though often covered by his beloved hat, his hair is an un-tamed beast to beat all others. A thick mass of curls and swirls of golden or brown it is. Though at times he seems to of made an effort with masses of gel or spray, his hair always defies him, and returns to its own 'special' pattern. Fortunately for him, his hair, though defient, is never overly-unkempt looking. Even so, he still prefers to wear the hat.

Abilities:

• Illusions- The ability allows him to either 'bend' and 'transform' light or sound in general (^{type 1}), or enter the mind of another being to alter their perception of a thing/place/situation (^type2) ^{The later will not be used without user permission}.
  
  Type 1- These illusions he creates by changing/bending the properties of the light and sound waves around him so as they are differently perceived by people. Believe it or not, sound is what he tends to alter more than light. Even though light is what one thinks of when one thinks of 'seeing', he finds it easier to change sound waves so peoples ears trick their eyes into seeing what he wishes them to. Of course, he isn't against flat out changing light to what he wills, it's just a matter of sound being the easier one to convert.
  His biggest advantage of sound vs light is that by using light, he can only convey what is in his mind, and (though he is creative) his 'creations' tend to be flat of what he wishes them to be; using sound, he can sudjest what a person 'feels' via frequency (both notes that are felt and heard) and so leave them to create their own little 'place'. Also, where light requires him to fully in-mind detail what he wishes to show, and continuously keep up with the detail in order for the illusion to remain; sound just requires him to pull a sense of something out his butt.
  
  Type 2- Though it would seem easier to illusion one being instead of many, it is not. In a group, beings will feed off one another, and use their neighbors output for their own input. Singling out a single being to feel a different emotion than the others around it is a far harder task. Yet, Aiden realized he could do so after noticing how frail minds really were. Alas, for every ounce of frailty to mind, there is a pound of complexity; tunnels turning and winding until there is little left for the uncarefull illusioners sanity. Though he is not a mind reader, nor a full mind changer, he has come to the realization that if he concentrates his mind on another, he can force it to think. Whilst he can not compel a creature to do something, he can change said creatures perception on a situation to hopefully nudge them in the direction he wishes to compel them. These 'compelling' images can range anywhere from simply making the person think they feel like doing something to thinking they see a whole different world than they actually do. For these more complex 'visions', a person can be made to believe they have died by some cause, and if their body believes it, their heart tends to stop.
  Because of him not being an actual mind reader or any such thing, this kind of illusion can become extremely dangerous for him. The more complex of a situation he shares into a persons mind, the more of his own mind he is putting into theirs. So simply put, if he doesn't keep himself as himself, he would essentially go insane. Even with the simplest of strait-to-mind illusions, he finds himself suffering a headache for a few hours afterwards.
  
  Also, animals or creatures with utterly simple minds are not affected by either of his illusion types.
  
  
• Pyro- He is also your run-of-the-mill pyro kinda guy. Though he can start small fires and sparks and such, he's not about to go blasting off like a flame thrower. He's restricted to smaller bursts, and fire-balls. If his hands get wet (via rain, sweat, ect.), he is unable to make fire. The other side of this power is that he is un-burnable.

Personality

Personality:
'Your too smart for your own good!'
If he had a penny for every time he'd heard that statement tossed at him throughout his life, he'd be helluva lot richer than he is now. Not that he's poor, by any stretch of the word, but its more for the sake of the saying. His high inteligence is what sets him apart and defines the majority of his somewhat... quirky nature.
