<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Aidan Naheen</span>(https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ghoM14lnCNxQKt55IlmpRAgjROu2QhQv3qB8TiFaMj4/edit?usp=sharing)<br/><br/><strong>Description</strong><br/><br/>Aidan Naheen is tall for a half-elf, with a darker skin coloring and pale hair, indicators of his strongly expressed drow heritage.  His eyes also are a lilac color fading into steely grey, and seem to often be slightly squinting during the day.  His body proportions are well-defined, and the mix of darker skin tones with a somewhat angular face makes a surprisingly striking combination, allowing him to easily command attention.<br/><br/>Long hours of wearing heavy armor and swinging a sword have honed his body well beyond most of his peers, giving his muscles more definion that is common among those with elven ancestry, yet he manages to make it all look asthetically pleasing instead of out of place.  Yet while many would call his face charming, even attractive, there is a haunted, skittish quality in his eyes that changes his demeanor subtly for those who can notice it.  That often fades while engaging him in conversation, as his voice has a soothing and pleasant quality, easily drawing people in.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong><br/><br/>Aidan was originally raised in a small commune of half-elves, most of them having been disillusioned about their treatment among human or elven settlements.  Yet even there, Aidan was something of an exception.  With his unusually tall stature and his strongly visible drow heritage, he easily stood out among the other youths in the village.  His mother was always very tight lipped about who his father had been, and despite years of whispers from townsfolk and inquiries by Aidan himself, he never got any closer to finding out if his father had, in fact, been a full drow instead of just another halfblood.  He had occasionally wondered whether he had been the result of evil, of bad luck and force.  Yet her mother seemed to hold no shame about his conception, instead she seemed to remember the past fondly whenever Aidan could get her to talk about times before he was born.<br/><br/>After he entered puberty and his drow blood began to express itself more prominently, the town's general atmosphere seemed to gradually become more hostile.  To prove more to himself rather than others that some quirk of birth wouldn't dictate his life, he took a trip to a larger human settlement some ways away, and petitioned a temple for training.  In the temple he didn't find any answers, but he did find peace.  His body, so unusual in his home village, fit well into the more martial sect of the temple.  Even his personality was well suited for the pursuit of law and upholding the tenets of the faith, so he was quickly inducted into the ranks of holy warriors.<br/><br/>It was only a few years later when things started going wrong for Aidan.  He was on a solo job investigating a fishing village where some disturbing rumors had been heard from, on what should have been a simple cult dismantling mission.  The cult had been far worse than a few deranged cultists. It was only when Aidan collapsed in the town's inn from a poisoned meal the he began to suspect the scope of the problem being perhaps the entire village itself.  He was dragged into a cave where the cultists practiced their deranged rituals, the very fabric of the world distorted by things beyond mortal undestanding.  His strength returned in time to break free from his captors, but the restless shades of other unfortunate victims and twisted horrors from beyond snapped at his heels as he forced his way forward, to the ritual chambers itself.  There he smashed the occult altar just as something large was starting to manifest in the room.  The backlash closed the portal and set everything on fire.  He barely made it to the water hole in the cave leading outside to the sea before everything collapsed.<br/><br/>He eventually healed enough to make the journey back to the temple, but the experience had forever changed him.  He shifted his normal focus from the general duties of his order to study magic and mysteries in order to combat the more occult threats to people and the faith.  Some even called him obsessed, but he cared not.  He delved into all the occult texts he could find and pushed himself to develop the power needed to guard people from horrors beyond imagining.  He quickly made a name for himself as slightly crazy but effective as he went around smashing cults and exorcising hauntings.<br/><br/>Now information of a new occult threat has found its way to him, the Scarlet Moon phenomenon.  That seems like a major occult incident right there, so Aidan quickly started toward Urgasburg to get to the root of this thing before it endangers the whole world.  Of, and apparently the city has a major undead problem, too, but that's not really his priority.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance visual:</strong><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Aidan basic image</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://isandir.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Elvandrin-Drow-Version.png)</div></div><br/><br/><br/>As for his Armor, since it's thematically appropriate, Bloodborne's Cainhurst armor is actually a very good visual.  And there's the katana too!  Start video at 2:46 to skip the boring stuff.<br/>https://youtu.be/E-UYurSI3A4?t=2m46s<br/><br/><hr/>Notes:<br/>I'd like a custom trait.  For this character, I've gone mostly completely flavor over optimization, so a personalized campaign trait is a no-brainer.  I outlined a few basic ideas earlier, and it should probably be something that reflects his significant turning point in life which led to the occult obsession.<br/><br/>For something else, I'm not completely set on which church and god precisely he's affiliated with.  This is something I'd like other people's opinions as well, since I'm less knowledgeable about Pathfinder's Society and other Lore, than I'd like.  It hasn't come up often in my previous games.  Church affiliation brings some more background potential, of course.
