| Physical Description | Aidan is certainly no Mr. Universe, but his build is lithe and sinewy, a swimmer's build, rather than a bodybuilder. He has a strong core, and though he doesn’t quite have a six-pack his abs are tight and it is clear that he does work out and keeps himself in decent shape. His black hair is worn a little longer than regulation and frames his face, a face that clearly shows his Hispanic heritage. His eyes are so dark brown they appear almost black. He tends towards jeans and polo shirts when not on duty, but when the occasion calls for it he can be slightly less casual with khakis in varying colors and button-front shirts (long and short sleeves depending on the season) |

Personality & Traits
| General Overview | For someone who spent as much time away from his parents as Aiden did, he is remarkably well adjusted. He is kind, considerate, and genuinely a nice person. He would rather talk his way out of a situation than fight his way out. He’s better in combat than his physique would suggest, but he would still rather fight with his words not his fists. He is remarkably well organized and has an inquisitive mind. He is sometimes too curious for his own good. He has an eidetic memory which can be a curse as well as a blessing, He believes in doing what’s right more than merely coloring inside the lines, so he sometimes(often) bends the rules to accomplish justice or a greater good. |

| Personal History | He was born on May 13, 2367, at 11:59 PM. His twin Genaro was born at 12:03 AM on May 14, 2367.. So though they were twins they had different birthdays. Both Hector and Amber were with Starfleet Intelligence, often away on dangerous, classified missions, some of which were considered black ops. Never Section 31, but questionable in some circles nevertheless. Up until they were six, they spent more time with their grandparents and other relatives, than their parents. When they started school they were sent to the most elite and private of private schools. Their parents were only around on occasion or on subspace radio. Aiden adapted pretty well to this being fairly independent. He looked forward to their visits of course, but he could get along just fine when they weren’t there. He found it easy to make friends. Genaro on the other hand grew to resent his parents. When puberty began to hit, another difference between the boys arose. Genaro became something of a ladies man, a rake. Aidan was attracted to other guys. While Genaro was ‘burning through women’ Aidan began a friendship with Tyler Wells, a fellow Junior in his High School. Over the space of a few months that friendship became something more. On a camping trip, the two lost their virginity to each other under the stars. They became boyfriends and that relationship lasted until they graduated. Then Aidan pursued a career in Starfleet, while Tyler entered Stanford to pursue a career in law and politics. The two promised to stay in touch, but their relationship just faded away. As a graduation present, Tyler bought his lover a Shikoku, or Japanese Wolf Dog which he named Meiyo, which means honor in Japanese About the same time he started his friendship with Tyler, he became enthralled with the ancient Samurais Dug into their culture and wanted to learn everything about them that he could. He loved the concept of honor, doing one’s best in any endeavor, focus. All the things they stood for and he even learned to use a katana. He didn’t quite become a master of it, but he is still really good. The two brothers who were at one time inseparable grow more and more distant. By the time they graduated high school, both with honors, Aidan the valedictorian they were going in separate directions. Aiden joined Starfleet though he more interested in fields where his organization skills, friendly personality, and ability to keep calm under pressure, rather than the Intelligence career his parents had enjoyed. Genaro vanished shortly after graduation and his location is currently unknown, though he did get in a few minor scrapes with the law on various planets. |
