Physical Description
Aubrey places a great deal of care into his looks, from his lightly fluffed, auburn locks to his neatly kept eyelashes and trimmed fingernails. He's quite the attractive young man, with a smile of gold and a mirthful look in his eyes. His light, soft skin tone and high cheekbones give him a very aesthetically appealing look, which, with the proper makeup, might even see him passing for a handmaiden, in the proper light . He still sports much of his youth at the age of 24 despite his most harrowing experiences, and takes good care of his body, from eating habits to physical fitness, ensuring that his good looks will remain for some time. Hopefully.
He typically wears his standard inquisitor armor, dyed black. It's lightweight and mostly leather which allows for great flexibility, yet what plating the armor has is sturdy enough to protect against glancing blows, though a direct attack focused on it would likely shatter, or at least seriously damage it. He wears this in spite of (and knowing that) it's more than likely to draw the eye of any other inquisitor who sees it, primarily because bro literally thinks he's the main character.
Personality
Aubrey, despite everything, is a bright-spirited and overall enjoyable person to be around. He enjoys both the simplicity of life, like stopping to feel the wind in his hair, as well as more complex indulgences such as eating sweets while falling from a great height naked with a lover (citation needed). He is typically a relatively kindhearted individual with a flair for the dramatic, and enjoys a riveting conversation about the state of the world, where he can find one. Amusingly, the demon constantly whispering in his ear has done nothing to worsen his already rather textbook 'main character syndrome'.
Young and somewhat innocent at heart, yet stalwart and level-headed in mind and body, Aubrey has always held very strong, yet somewhat naive ambitions; He is a romantic, in a world filled with the eldritch unknown and 50 shades of jaded mentality. He holds true to a righteous fury within his heart which can at times cause him to lose his cool when faced with particularly heinous atrocities, and his genuine desire to make the world a better place can often times result in him losing sight of his own importance-- willing to sacrifice himself as necessary to see the world, or the people he cares about, into fruition, peace and prosperity. The demon has absolutely no qualms about taking advantage of this personality trait to its fullest, and uses it to trick Aubrey— for better or for worse— into pursuing more and more power for himself.
The combination of the demon's whispering and these traits are occasionally highlighted and exacerbated by his... 'Disdainful' upbringing, which can cause him to show more negative vibes than not—a lust for power, a lack of morality when he feels it necessary, and so on, but these are rare occurrences and don't truly reflect Aubrey's typically happy demeanor as a whole.
Magic/Abilities
Technically, it should be enough that Aubrey is a very, very well trained assassin; However, to add to his refined stealth and close-combat skillset, the demon Alvaros is constantly by his side, granting him some small sliver of her powers in exchange for his cooperation. In particular, Aubrey can take on certain attributes of the living things he touches— be they other humans, creatures, or even other demons. These attributes change him, little by little; Granting him abilities native to those he leeches upon. Alvaros's grand scheme is to corrupt Aubrey so thoroughly through having him seek out so much power that he eventually no longer resembles anything close to a human at all— at which point she will seize his mind and body for herself.
Fat chance, though, considering our boy's ego is so great that thus far she hasn't been able to even slightly dig her fingers into his thick skull.
Relationships
None yet. But realistically, who would willing put themselves through the torture of... this dude?
History
As a very young child, Aubrey was orphaned due to circumstances out of his control, and through chance of fate, he was captured by slavers and sold into a human trafficking market. It was from this slave trading market that Aubrey was eventually 'sold' to a group of unknown individuals of even further unknown origins known solely as 'The Darhanna Inquisition'.
The Darhanna Inquisition, as the boy would grow up to learn, was a nameless, leaderless clan of demon-worshipping 'specialists' for hire who, unlike mere sellswords, were fairly versed in the mysteries of the world, having taken jobs far and wide which require a more trained, precise agent of strength, speed, or cambrian prowess, while secretly collecting and hoarding any and all knowledge, forbidden or otherwise about the world. Each member of the Inquisition's elite were also granted the 'blessing' of being a host to a demon, conjured from another realm, as a part of some grand plan to sow the seeds of a demon uprising within LeRaana. Aubrey, young and impressionable, was one of many new 'recruits' that were taken into their fold as a means to replenish their ranks, a rather common thing as many of their jobs weren't exactly 'pleasant', and often was it mandated that Inquisitors—members of The Inquisition—took on their tasks solo, resulting in great losses for the inexperienced.
Fortunately, Aubrey took to his training and studies like a bird to the air, or a fish to the sea. He absorbed everything that was thrown at him, from basic combat training to the bestiary of the Inquisition, and though life was hard for him (as it was for the others his age), he never complained or so much as showed signs of wavering from the path that was laid out before him. Why? A fine question, with an understandable answer.
Aubrey was the chosen one.
Well, that's what he convinced himself of, at least. Suffering delusions of grandeur as a result of the trauma of his past, Aubrey convinced himself that he was actually transported to this mortal coil from another realm, and that everything that was happening to him was a result of his being chosen for some great destiny which had yet to be revealed to him. Why else would he be subject to rigorous training to fight against all manner of threats? Why else would he have access to magical powers and adapt so easily to teachings of The Inquisition? Surely not because his delusions drove him to unhealthily devote himself to being one of the youngest inquisitors to 'graduate' into solo duty.
What did not help this, as one might suspect, was the demon he was chosen to play host to. Going by the name 'Alvaros' (Yes, the same name Aubrey eventually took as his surname), the demon was a cunning, patient woman. She whispered sweet nothings into Aubrey's ear from the moment she was bestowed upon him, further cementing his delusions, while gradually molding him into a child who would seek out power and chaos as she wished, all the more to grow her own personal plans and agenda. Yes, to no one's surprise, demons were not to be trusted, even by the evil cult that summoned them into the world.
He got (mentally) better, eventually. Most teenagers do. It wasn't, however, until Aubrey decided— with a little nudging from Alvaros— that a life under the Inquisition's wing wasn't enough for him, and he began to seek more that this change happened to him. Daringly, he cut all ties with his former 'family', and struck out on his own, something which did not sit well with the veterans of the clan, who sought to keep all of the knowledge that the Inquisition had attained over the years within their own circle. As such, on the fateful day that he intended to leave the organization, Aubrey was cornered, tracked down and assassinated for his crime of 'treason' against the Inquisition, his corpse thrown into some ravine somewhere in nation seven.
Supposedly. The truth of the matter is that on that fateful day, the ever-so-clever Aubrey actually faked his own death, using the 'fall' from the ravine as a means to escape the Inquisition more or less unharmed. Thus did Aubrey truly begin his own adventures, a fugitive of a powerful organization with all the skills he needed to keep himself one step ahead of it.
