General appearance: Aidan is a slightly wiry male. He stands at 6'2" tall and weighs roughly 180 pounds. He is not overly muscular by any means, and is actually rather slender. He has a long, thin face with a soft bone structure, yet clearly masculine features. His black hair he keeps trimmed in a close, conservative look, similar to a longer version of a military buzz cut, laying about 1" on the top. His hair also tends to come to a somewhat distinct point in the middle of his bangs. Aidan's eyes are a clean, hazel color with distinct highlights of green and gray throughout their light brown base. His usual outfit is a simple black, pocketed t-shirt and either a pair of camouflage shorts or blue jeans for pants. He always wears a pair of Black converse low-tops for shoes. He doesn't shave often, and keeps a small goatee.

He has a simple silver stud pierced in his left ear lobe. He has a Celtic cross tattooed on his right bicep in black and green ink. He also wears a silver chain with a simple silver ring hanging from it.

Personality: Aidan is very laid back. He isn't the kind of person to be highly confrontational, and prefers to stand back and let others take charge of a group. He's really more of a watcher, but isn't afraid to let his thoughts be heard. If he feels that there is anything that needs to be said about a topic, he will give his input on the matter. In a time of stress, Aidan isn't the first to crack by any means. Though, when he is stressed, his Irish accent breaks out a lot more. When it comes to meeting new people, Aidan is far from shy, tending to be the first to introduce himself, though he isn't necessarily over-talkative, he is just conversational.

Medical information: Over-exposure to his ability may leave Aidan's skin itching after he shifts out from the state. Either form of the ability can cause this itching reaction.
 
Brief History: Aidan's parents both worked in Dublin. His father was a Doctor and is mother was his secretary. Aidan led a fairly normal life up until High School. Aidan tried out for the baseball team his freshman year, and ended up making the varsity team. There were a few upper class-men that tried out that Aidan beat out for the spot, and, needless to say, they were none-too-happy. One day, after school and practice, a group of the kids that Aidan had beaten out for the spot cornered Aidan on the street, chasing him into a dark, barely used alleyway. When the group of five closed in on Aidan with baseball bats in hand, Aidan suddenly disappeared. Though the thugs could no longer see Aidan, Aidan could clearly see them. While his pursuers where baffled at his location, Aidan got away. After a while of testing out his new abilities, Aidan decided to try to hide the ability. He was successful at hiding this for a few years, however, just recently, his ability was sparked up once more when Aidan was involved in a car accident. This time, however, there were several illusory copies of Aidan that appeared at the moment of impact. All of the witness to the accident saw the copies of Aidan appear. The news spread quickly and Aidan went on a search for somewhere he could hide and be with others with similar abilities as him. In his search, Aidan came across Professor Xavier's school, which he took a certain like to. Aidan came over to America with his Parent's aid, and attended class at Xavier's for a brief stint before he suddenly left the school. Aidan went about traveling trough the Northeastern United States, finally making his way to Boston, where he has been staying for the last few months, working on his abilities. Only recently has he heard from the Xavier manor about the crisis that has happened at the school, and has decided to set back to the school to lend a hand where he can.
