Symbol:
Personality before abduction: Aaron was always a very driven individual. Strong willed and highly responsible. He's a natural born leader with a respect for structure and order. Aaron uses wit and sarcasm to hide his blunt, frankness or to introduce an air of levity. But if wit were a measure of intelligence he'd be a genius--and to some degree, he is. He can be quite charming. He has the air of a bad by but the demeanor of a good one. Aaron is very good at making tactically sound decisions and not letting his emotions run away with him no matter how prevalent or strong they may be. This can make him seem cold at times but it couldn't be any more different.
Personality after abduction: He's grown more decisive. However, the effects of what happened within the span of that year have not gone unnoticed by those around him. Since returning and up to the first wave he had near constant dreams and delusions.These would lead to violent outbursts and severe irritability. The dreams he would see were vague at best, but colored lights were always present. The delusions would contort faces into grotesque mockeries. These visions left him with a constant sense of danger.Since the attacks he has calmed considerably.

Fears: What he fears most is cherishing something or some and end up having to destroy them. It's something he dreads. Its why he tends to be alone.
Morality: Aaron came from upstanding parents; people that worked themselves ragged to give him, maybe not everything he wanted, but certainly needed. So it stands to reason that he is very upstanding though this has evolved a bit since the attacks. He'll be more than happy help--if he trusts you. Life in a war and the decimation of the human race and being constantly shot at has made him a leery man.
Etiquette: Good ole Southern hospitality.
Attitude: He can be unnervingly calm and quiet. But he can also smile when he says some smartass comment.
Outlook on Life: He's become jaded since having to kill most of the people that he was truly attached to. He's also disappointed with people who rob, loot or murder to get what they want.
Perception:
Standpoint:
Philosophy: Don't run into hail of bullets and expect a miracle; pick and choose your battles, you can't fight every battle and expect to see the next day.
Taboos: Most common forms of taboos, Aaron can tolerate despite his moral compass telling him it's wrong. There are those however, he just can stand by idly and watch happen without some action. Rape, murder or slavery he just can not abide and is compelled to act.

Weapon(s):
Heckler & Koch HK417: Gas-operated, selective fire rifle with a rotating bolt and is essentially an enlarged HK416 assault rifle. Chambered for the full-power 7.62×51mm NATO round, instead of the less powerful 5.56×45mm NATO intermediate cartridge, the HK417 is intended for use as a designated marksman rifle, and in other roles where the greater penetrative power and range of the 7.62×51mm NATO round are required.
Colt M1911 .45ACP: The M1911 is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, recoil-operated pistol chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge.
CQC-Tomahawk: The CQC-T is a personal combat tool, first and foremost. We do not recommend you purchase it as a throwing Tomahawk. It's handle design and blade geometry is meant for retention and aggressive cutting, respectively. O-Rings in the handle will likely require replacement over time and can be replaced for a nominal fee by calling customer service.
Trinkets: Locket
Manipulation: Blood manipulation: Aaron's blood has become ore than a flow of water and plasma. It's become something of a symbiotic living 'thing' inside him that he can somewhat freely control. It can transom into various simple and often bladed weapons though not always. This is done by crystallizing itself into a super dense state. When stronger he can manipulate the blood of others. In emergency cases, it envelops him in a protective 'suit' that is highly reactive. Though through a link it is 'aware' of who is hostile and who isn't.
Restrictions:
1.) It may be a symbiote but it acts for all intents purposes acts his blood, if he uses it all before it can replenish, he dies.
2.) He can't be healed by other regenerative or restorative powers. He heals faster than a regular person or a user without regen, but slower than those with it. He'll also scar where as a regen wont because they are manipulating the growth of cells but because its a symbiote and not actually human cells the process is different.
3.) He actually has to damage himself in some way ti use his power, which is similar to the bone manipulation, and if damaged or or knocked out the symbiote will tear the muscle and skin to create the suit I mentioned. The suit can be damaged or become too fatigued and he'll still die
4.) His ability, no matter how synchronized, only allows him to make basic weapons; swords,axes, hammers, daggers, scythes, maces,etc. He cant make bows, crossbows or guns. Nothing with mechanical or moving features.
5.) High frequency sounds-- such as those to high for humans to hear will drive it crazy. 100khz, the same frequencies that bats and dolphins can hear. It wont stop him dead in his tracks but will hinder him.
6.) Intense heat, like molten metal level, he is particularly susceptible to. Despite being able to create near diamond hard bond the extreme heat destroys them by evaporating the symbiotic blood cells.
