Aidan

A grizzled and war-weary veteran of many assaults, this ex Icon soldier has left Pyrian space seemingly for good. He now works as the primary attendant on the Rannoch for his new owner, Firran Ey'Addis doch Mjekll.

Personality
Born into a life of war and bloodshed, Aidan has grown tired of his life. While his only wish is to settle down and live a peaceful life, he still feels the obligation to help those who cannot help themselves, as he once could not. Over this he projects a professional shell, always sticking to the safest, most reasonable plan of action. In private however, Aidan is conflicted over his feelings towards the females in his life and how he should be treating them.

Appearance
Typical of a product of the Icon's Human 2.0 program, Aidan is a full head taller than most humans and built like an assault mech. While his healing abilities and common access to Regeneration bays have muted their appearance somewhat, he has scars over most of his face and upper torso from numerous past injuries. Fitting his fighting style as a direct but defensive fighter, the vast majority of his scars are on his front and sides. In fact, the only scars on Aidan's lower back are from penetrating weaponry, meaning corresponding scars on both sides.

Skills
Trained to lead a group of similarly skilled soldiers, Aidan is both a skilled marksman and a talented battlefield commander. Favouring the Assault Carbine family of rifles, Aidan is able to use a wide variety of battlefield tactics including surpressing fire, breaching and cover destroyal. This also comes with a talent for Icon tech such as aerial fighters, evasive driving and ship-to-ship armaments.

Relationships
Gunner and co-pilot on the Rannoch.

A grizzled and war-weary veteran of many assaults, created by the Icon as an invasion lead to great effect. Although Aidan had planned to buy his freedom and retire, he instead found out the company had priced his freedom far above what he could ever afford, so that they would not lose their most valuable asset. Instead, wishing to spare another soldier the same fate, he used most of his savings to buy a young recruit, Sophie. To his surprise, Sophie refused her freedom. Instead she chose to stay in his charge and attend to him, which soon developed into a relationship.

Not long afterwards, Aidan was bought by Firran Ey’addis, a rich young merchant heading into Wild space, to act as a combined bodyguard, chauffeur and attendant. Despite Firran’s original wishes, Aidan convinced her to allow his partner to come with them.
