Physical Looks:
Aidan was born with blonde hair and blue eyes. His hair color faded with all the time spent outside, but his eyes just seemed to get brighter. His skin tone also suggests that he has been sun-kissed from many years of hard work outdoors. The muscle built from his work is also something impressive, though he's too modest to ever think of showing it off. He stands currently at about 6'1" and weighs close to 180 pounds - almost all muscle.
Character rep:
Hunter Parrish
Mentality
Attitude:
Aidan is a very laidback guy. He doesn't get upset over the little things in life, and he doesn't over-react to situations. Life isn't a game that you manipulate - it's a series of predetermined events that are going to happen no matter what you do. That's why he makes the most of what he can, without worry for the consequences. If he can, Aidan will go all out doing something he loves, as opposed to doing something he can make a profit from.
He's not a thrill seeker, but if an opportunity presents itself he'll drop everything to do it. He's a complete pacifist unless threatened; Aidan won't actively fight someone, preferring to attempt to dodge any physical blows. In social situations, he can be very easy to embarrass due to his lack of experience with physical relationships.

History:
It would only be fair to start before Christianity became predominant in the United Kingdoms. A powerful Fae, referred to by humans and shifters as Cailleach Bheur, came to Earth. Though she is famed to have carried many torches, only several are true. She was a formidable Songstress in Cold, Death and Disease songs, though she shaped no mountains, and wasn't a pallbearer to Winter. During her visits to Earth, she slept with several men, due to her apparent Deity status. It is said that those which she laid with, lived to ripe old ages, as did all of her heirs. Most of these lines died out with time and the Crusades, but several managed to live on.
In Aidan's line, the power has been dormant for long enough, that not even his line exists in legend anymore; since before the 13th century. It is due to this, that Aidan never even knew that such a power would be his.
Alexander Gunn, a British national, went backpacking to Scotland
with some friends from primary school - which is when he met Brenda. She was, and is, a spit-fire of a woman. It was almost instant love, except for her incredibly stubborn refusal to accept that Alexander wasn't just trying to have a good shag on her before he left. It ended in Alexander setting up permanent residence in Scotland, and proposing to her. Two years later, they gave birth to their first child, Aidan Paul. Named for the little spit-fire he was sure to be, after his mother's own personality - a personality trait he never ended up developing.
Aidan led a very normal childhood; playing with neighborhood children, helping his father in his shop when he could. He was already seven, when his mother announced a surprise pregnancy with a second child. Though somewhat disappointed at no longer being an only child, he desperately wanted a little brother. And eight months later, that wish came true. Jordan was raised very similarly to his brother, though he essentially had two mothers, with Aidan involved.
In his later years, Aidan preferred his physical labor of carpentry, to his studies. His father, though disappointed with his lack of educational motivation, he simply encouraged him to be happy. After graduating, he went to carpentry full time. Aidan made decent money off of it, and opened up an actual storefront, building homes.
When he turned twenty, Aidan almost cut his hand off with a power saw. At this point, he decided to simply stop doing as much of the manual labor, and focus more attention on designing the homes - something he was already doing. After turning 23, his father suggested expanding the business to Ireland, while he and Jordan would look over the business here. Aidan considered it for a solid month before agreeing with him.
He moved to Dublin only two weeks into January. On his first day in Dublin, Aidan was approached by a Fae, the first he'd ever seen, telling him that he could make his wildest dreams to come true. His complete shock and fear caused the bush behind him to begin to wilt - a power he didn't even know he had. He was saved by some woman that had apparently been tracking the Fae, and managed to kill him. Her name was Rissa O'Sullivan. After some begging for a place to stay, and a promise to move out quickly, she caved.
Anything else?
Not really.
