Short Bio / Description:

Aidan was second son of three born to a peasant family that carved out a meager existance on the agrarian outskirts of the town of List on the continent of Mistone. He never tended his chores as closely as he should have, often sneaking off with friends to follow one of the nearby trade routes to town. Eventually, he fell in with the "wrong crowd" and took to petty thieving. He always made sure that no one was ever physically hurt and it was mostly for the challenge and thrill of getting away with something. Aidan, or "Lucky" as he inevitably came to be known, learned from and soon befriended a more worldly thief by the name of Corinth.

As he passed through adolecence and into adulthood, he came home less and less and his family never bothered to locate him as far as he knew. His gang became his new family, supporting themselves as highwaymen and thieves. They weren't murders or thugs and never had to seriously hurt anyone, stealing only from the rich and giving to the needy, which happened to be themsevles.

This continued on for some time until the day they waylayed what they thought was a simple merchant and his entourage. During the robbery, a band of mercenary orcs seemingly sprang from nowhere and slaughtered robber and victim alike. Aidan was always better at hiding than most and had a sixth sense that alerted him to danger (hence, "Lucky" and his first two feats: Stealthy and Improved Initiative) that allowed him to remain undetected as the orcs cut his friends down one by one. They seemed to be after something that the merchant had, but what it was Aidan could not tell.

Afterward, Aidan drifted North and West, eventually arriving in Hlint, where few if any knew him by name. By the time he arrived, feeling guilty for not helping his friends (though he knows there was little he could do but die with them) and nursing a grudge against the murderers and orcs in general (first favored enemy), he resolved to make something more of himself than a petty bandit and thief. Maybe even someday track down and avenge the loss of his surrogate family.

Aidan isn't exactly sure of his place in the world yet. His wounds are too fresh for him to articulate, but he probably has the
beginnings of a strong sense of justice, yet is too free-spirited to subscribe to anything organized. I'd like to see if he can 'grow into'
Chaotic Good. I plan to advance him pretty evenly between Rogue and Ranger, which I think shouldn't be too hard given the proximity to Sielwood Forest and especially Ranger's Vale. Suggestions are always welcome...
