__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description  Blonde hair, blue eyes, though they are nearly a grey-blue, really. He has a strong chin, and cheeks that swell easily with his smile.  His hair is worn in a pony tale that falls to his shoulder blade, and long, open bangs that frame his face.  His hair is relatively straight, and the dirty blonde color of it is rather dark, almost appearing a pale brown.

Personality Ayden Bane is swift to be a charmer. Easy with his words, it seems he only has one thing on his mind.... yet now many would dare to venture into what lies beneath the skin, for many things go unsaid beneath the easy flowing lips of the elusive, former thief.  He appears carefree, almost uncaring in his nature, which may come off as stupid or reckless, or even egotistical to some.  Chances are, they might be right. But why should he care?

Magic/Abilities
Elemental Manipulations- Ayden can channel earth elements that immediately surround him. If there's a torch, he can control it's fire. If it's raining, he might he able to conjure the water to his fingers for his needs. If there's a storm, perhaps winds or lightning might play a part in his ever revolving door of tricks.

Demon King- There is a dark force sleeping deep within Ayden, something that comes out in a different face, a different mask.. a different person...
Mirroring with Ayden's internal fight for a true identity and will to be free, so does the demon lurking within him, ever searching for a way to be awakened, a way to crawl back into the world to reek havok across the lands of the people who tried to enslave him.... (more on this later!)

Relationships
Rajini-former slave (under his 'father') first 'love' interest, unrequited, (but she'd never know...)
Hyden Bane- 'father' (former head of the thieves guild Ayden had been raised within- killed by the slave 'Rajini')

History

Deep in the bowels of a muddy, Adelan river, long in the forgotten waste lands stretching far away from Ketra and piercing the lands as it had made it's way from its' source in the Thunderblack, a small village of people tended the lands. These parts of Adela seemed wild and savage. The people were self sufficient, and prospered off of the generous lands provided to them. Because of the intense flooding, most Adelans abandoned the flood plans here, claiming it uninhabitable because of the unstable rivers.  However, this village adapted, raising their house up on stakes to keep them several feet above land that would, and could , fall prey to heavy floods.  The people had turned almost tribal, almost back to the culture of the earth, picking up a dialogue all of their own.

Ayden had lived in this remote location until he was about 8 years old, then his parents were slaughtered by a malicious killer and leader of the foreign thieves guild set out from the wild deserts. The entire village was destroyed, not a man, woman or child was spared- except for Ayden. His parents were one of the last to die, and he saw it all, saw the murder and blood shed by the man who he would eventually come to know as his father: Hyden Bayne.   

The man a ruthless cutthroat and killer- leader of the band called the Vorhdic thieves. Ayden never loved his adopted father, and in fact, when he grew old enough to finally want to act upon his grief towards his forced life and death of his family, Hyden punished him horribly- so horribly in fact it silenced him into apathy. No one knows the true tail other than Ayden, and the scar that remains silent across his chest in a swollen welt of white flesh.  No one dares speak of it.

Ayden accepted his position and just made himself become lost in his duties as a thief- One thing that was wonderful about it was the freedom and stealth on the job- he could pretend to be another person here while forgetting the rotting life, withering away from within. Being as old as he is right now, he believes he can be nothing other than a thief. “Once a t'ief, always a t'ief.” Or so the saying goes.

Prior to his abduction and then eventual induction into the Vorhdic thieves, Ayden was beginning to realize he had powers to manipulate the elements around him, but they truly never came to fruition until his 'father', Hyden, had found out and set forth to see his skills were fine tuned, so as to be used deftly along with the thieving skills he'd be trained to do.  Ayden allowed for it, as his education on magic and thieving was another means to escape his forced life.

Though as he got older, the itch himself returned. The itch to be free...


Ayden can come off as an ass.  In order to cope with his current life, he’s become apathetic and withdrawn to a lot of his more serious emotions. Love is something he fantasizes about, but prophesies he doesn’t actually believe in, nor that it can really exsist in order to protect himself from what it could mean. He never leads a woman off without telling her the facts- that she’s really just a fling and satisfying his own body’s cravings. That it can’t be nothing other than that- just some fun on his road his travels.

He prefers he not get closer to women, however, growing up he often found himself doing odd things to show his affections towards one of his father’s favorite slaves. Her name was Rajini, or as he called her, Raj. It was his thing, that sometimes when his father punished Rajini by starving her,  Ayden would always find a way to get Rajini an apple- an apple becoming his unspoken word of love.  It would never be sad, but the times things were bad for her, even when not starved, she'd find herself a red apple in her cell.


Eventually, a moment where his father was raging against his impotent slave, Ayden finally lashed back, attacking his father with such ferocity, it took most of the guild to chain him down. Hyden came out a bloody mess, but still very much alive.  For his insolence, he lashed Ayden's back side for thirty days, until he released him from his chains and the man collapsed onto the floor. Shortly after he recovered and all seemed normaly-
Ayden disappeared.
Normally Ayden found himself on a short leash, and, had at times before, tried to run away, only to have his father's henchman find him in the end and to drag him back-
however, that last time..
No one had come after him. He was enjoying his freedom for a time, but found himself worrying over the fate of Rajini, so like a dog to his chain, he returned.


Returning to the guild added a lot of complexities, for he found out it was the slave, Rajini, whom had killed his father and assumed the role of leader. It shocked him, but he laid low for a while, uncertain if he should see her. Rumors floated around upon his return to the guild that he was there to take his rightful place as leader, but that was far from the truth.

Ayden only had ever returned to see Rajini, but what he got wasn’t what he expected. Because he could never know how to be real about love, the asshole/apathetic part of him was all that was showing through when he had that fated reunion. And she tried to kill him.....

A deep gash to his throat, it could have killed him, it could have made him lose his voice, however Ayden had kept both- his life and voice, though he doesn’t talk too loud (not that he spoke real loud before). When she cut him, Ayden couldn’t even say anything in his defense as blood gushed out from his neck. He didn’t want to fight her and blamed himself for it all going wrong.

Rajini allowed him to leave with his life, telling him to leave and never return to the guild. Ayden was hurt pretty bad, considering the woman he had loved just tried to kill him, and would never get the chance to know how he felt. So he gave it up, like most of what he had done with his life. He was always good at running away from his emotions, but what happened between him and Rajini scarred him pretty bad- not just on the outside, but on the inside.

He was breaking, and the real Ayden wanted out. She had killed the only means. Or so it seemed...

He’s more than restless now on his emotions that have long been ignored for way too many years. He yearns for love, he yearns for forgiveness, and he yearns for something better. Maybe now he can start a new life…. Ironically, as Ayden scrambled to leave the guild, whatever words he chose to say at the end were probably never heard through the raspy, blood gurgled voice. But one thing was clear, that perhaps only Rajini might know, was that the only thing Ayden left behind was a single apple, that had fallen from his jacket when he retreated from the room…

Another bad habit is Ayden is smoker, and is far from ever quitting such a habit. It’s the only thing that soothes him away from the world, calming him- but his mind is always restless. He’s always had to deal with being two faced- Playing the life of a common criminal and son to the largest thieves guild in the known world- and dealing with his heart, the faint, fairy tale memories of his youth. It is only upon his escape from the guild that he realizes this might be the perfect opportunity for him to finally live as he always wanted to- Whatever that really means now
