Accessories: The most important thing that Aarao has in his possession is his pet and best friend, a black rat named Tock. Tock acts as both company and an extra set of eyes to Aarao, and the young man would be lost without his little friend. Tock, despite being a member of the largest species of rat, can ride comfortably on Aarao's shoulder, or even on his head.
Another important item to Aarao is his knife that he keeps at his side in a small sheath. It is too short to qualify as any kind of sword, but is long enough to be able to use it for quite anything. Whether it be cutting his way through something, cutting his way into something, or cutting his way through someone, it's quite dependable.
Description: Aarao's physical stature is very long, lanky and thin. At first, it would seem as though he is unhealthily thin. He has only enough muscle to lift his own weight, which isn't a lot. With his body being so thin, his strength is in speed and agility. He can fit through places one wouldn't think possible, and can dodge through a crowd with amazing speed, without touching anyone in it. However fast and agile he may be, if someone manages to catch him, it is likely that he wouldn't be able to get away if they kept a strong grip on him, as he isn't strong at all compared to others. Although if one was planning on catching him, they might want to watch out where his knife is, because he's quick with that as well.
Aarao's hair is a mixture of reddish browns and silverish greys, as if he were going prematurely grey (which is probably true). It's slightly long and shaggy, in a choppy style. It's long enough to fall in front of his eyes slightly. His eyes are large and fawn-like, in a peculiar color of icy grey. But one wouldn't be wise to be fooled by his childish and innocent look. Behind them lies the borderline-genius mind of a thief.
Aarao is an extremely intelligent teenager, and the clockworks of his mind are quick. He is quick to understand, quick to ask questions, quick to find a solution, but also quick to assume. This is his weakness. He often misjudges things. He follows what he sees, and if what he sees leads him to an assumption, that is what he will believe. But one should not think for an instant that he is easily tricked. Aarao is very good at telling when people are telling the truth or not, and will investigate as much as he can before he does make an assumption. He just has a tendency to investigate a little too fast.
Upon talking to other people, he doesn't have a lot of social skills. His voice is often weak, only rising in strength when he is annoyed or angered. He doesn't like to look people directly in the eye, and likes even less when people question his intentions about anything, due to thief's instinct. If he is in some way insulted, he won't hesitate in returning it to the person that it came from. He just doesn't appreciate being messed with, and is kind of antisocial.
Relationships: Aarao hasn't had an opportunity to get to know people. Becoming emotionally attached to someone is not an appealing thought to him, and he is slightly afraid of it happening to him.
History: Aarao was completely raised by his father, as his mother had died shortly after he was born. His father was an engineer that designed air ships for the Caedere military, and Aarao was always interested in what his father had to tell him about what he did for a living. Without a doubt, the boy had inherited his father's intelligence. Aarao spent most of his time as a boy in trees on the very outskirts of town, either observing the average passerby or reading.
When he was thirteen, Aarao and his father moved from the capital of Caedere to the trading port of Red Ax, because his father began to have issues with a developing depression issue. He figured that if they moved out of their regular environment, it would help. After about a year there, Aarao's father became deathly ill, and had to stop working all together. Their living became hard.
Unable to do anything of use and get paid in Red Ax, Aarao retorted to stealing. At first, he only stole for things that he needed, like food and personal items. But as he grew a bit more, he began to steal things to sell them. This happened after his father died of the illness that he had been cursed with.
Miscellaneous: Aarao found Tock when he was on the brink of 18, a baby black rat hiding in the back part of one of the traders' ships.
