Aaron Dike - Balancer of the Courts

• Name: Aaron Dike
• Alias: The Vigil Sigil (he prefers the vigil part omitted since it sounds stupid), The Fairy's Slave, The Hero of Sigils
• Gender: Male
• Age: 27
• Birthday: 17th of December
• Race: Human
• Height: 1,90m (6'3")
• Occupation: Balancer of the Courts
• Alignment: Neutral Hero
• Affiliation: He works for the Seelie and Unseelie courts

Personality:
Aaron can come off as abrasive and disrespectful. He is cocky and very confident, bordering on overconfidence. He is also moderately violent and provoking him into a fight isn't too hard. On the other hand, he is very caring when it comes to his brother and sister, enough to accept a job he doesn't like for their sake and yes, messing with them is the easiest way to piss him off. Of course, while he doesn't mind helping them out and has spend the last 8 years taking care of them, he would prefer it if he didn't have to and could live his own life, free of such responsibility.

Despite his attitude, he respects two kinds of people. First, those who can fire back at him, because they have a spine. And second, those who take their work seriously and responsibly. His situation as sole provider for his family thought him the value of hard work at an early age and the value of people who perform it. Despite this, he himself hates the job he does for the fay folk despite them now providing what his family needs, feeling as if he's being used by them for their political games.

Appearance:
Aaron is a tall, muscular man with red hair and amber eyes. His red hair is kept short, ruffled and spiked, with two strands of hair near the opposite sides of his head falling over his face. He also has very distinct sideburns. He has several tattoos on his arms, sigils inscribed on him by fairies that give him superpowers.

He usually wears a black, leather jacket with a fur collar that hides his sigils and which he takes off during a fight. Underneath the jacket he wears a white V-neck. He wears dark blue, denim jeans help up by a simple brown belt, with a silver chain attached from the belt to his back pocket, additionally with black shoes to top off the rest of his outfit. Aaron wears other jewelry pieces with his clothes, primarily silver: a silver ring and a star-shaped necklace. He also has a piercing in his left ear.

Powers and Abilities:
Aaron is normal human, though on a magical scanner he would come out as magic positive, perhaps even as a magical item. That is a result of sigils engraved into his body and which make him stronger. When it comes to fighting, he is used to fist-fights since he used to beat up his lil' bro's bullies and he is also being thought swordsmanship by one of the seelie.

The Sigils

The last thing one expects when walking through a forest is to discover that magic is real. However, that is exactly what happened to Aaron. He ran into a skirmish between a group of seelie and a bunch of unseelie Stunned by the sudden encounter with the supernatural, he could do nothing but watch until the fair folk noticed him. The fairies quickly disappeared and Aaron still took a few minutes to piece together what exactly it was that he saw there. Once he finally did, he grinned. Fairies were real. So maybe magic was, too. Maybe he finally found the cure for his family's ailment. He needed to find them and have a little chat.

Luckily,once you are exposed to the hidden world, you practically become attracted to it so finding the fairies again wasn't too hard. He managed to reach the representatives of the courts and demanded they fix up his siblings. After a lot of negotiation, a bargain was struck. The fair folk would fix up his siblings and him if he agreed to balance the courts, making sure that neither the Seelie nor the Unseelie got more powerful then the other. To aid him in that task, he would be given sigils in the form of tattoos, but only if he passed the tests given by certain fairies.

He has the following sigils:

• Buer - Named after one of the 72 demon rulers of the lesser key. As the demon serves as a healer, so too does the sigil of the fairy Buer serve as an instrument of healing. When Aaron activates the sigil, his regeneration rate skyrockets, healing bruises, wounds and any other injuries in mere hours. It can also regenerate lost limbs. However, to regenerate anything that a human would not naturally grow back, such as an arm, the sigil must be activated within twenty minutes of losing it or the damage is permanent. This sigil is on the nape of his neck.
• Asmodeus - The demon Asmodeus is described in the Ars Gotea as "strong, powerful and appears with three heads; the first is like a bull, the second like a man, and the third like a ram" and such is the power that the name of the fairy Asmodeus grants. When Aaron activates this sigil, he gains great physical strength. He can jump higher, he can take more punishment and he can dish out more devastation. He can rip trees right out of the ground and break a wall with a mere punch. He can also jump six times his height and can stay standing after a building busting move, though standing is all he can do after taking a punch of such magnitude. Another punch like that, or even weaker, right after that will probably end up knocking him out or even killing him outright. This sigil is located on his chest. 
• Eligos - Eligos attracts the favor of important people such as lords, knights, emperors and presidents. The sigil, when activated, coats Aaron's words in honey. Anything that Aaron says suddenly sounds more convincing to people with or without mental resistance. It works especially well against those who held power at some point in their life, be they kings now, presidents yesterday or emperors a hundred years ago. It is more effective when it comes to taming animals then it is when it comes to convincing Faeries or humans to do something. This sigil is located on his collarbone.
• Shax - Shax deals in horses, he steals them, his followers ride them, and as such this sigil improves what horses are well known for. This sigil grants Aaron speed, letting him break all human limits and ignore the laws of physics to break the sound barrier. Aaron gets to move at mach 1 speeds and his punches will of course hurt more as a side effect of someone's fist ramming itself into you at the speed of sound. This sigil is located on his calves.
• Flauros - Flauros, among many things, burns the enemies of his summoner to a crisp. While the demon's power is not quite what the sigil grants, the sigil isn't the name of a demon anyway. This sigil grants Aaron the ability to fire blasts or rays of energy out of his hands. Really, who needs super strength when you can attack with pure energy, who needs super speed when you can attack from a distance, who needs a silver tongue or a healing factor when you are not in danger of getting hurt in the first place. Or at least that should be the case in theory. This sigil is located on his arms. 

There are in total 72 Faeries willing to grant Aaron their powers, assuming he can pass their trials. Aaron does not seem interested in wasting his time with such dangerous games as he doesn't need anymore power. For now.

Equipment:

Calesvalon - A two-handed sword gifted to him by the Unseelie. It shimmers in the light (It doesn't matter if it's sunlight, moonlight or artificial lighting) as if it's made of diamonds. When it's like this, it is indestructible and surprisingly light for a two-handed sword. However, when it's in the dark, it draws in and absorbs all light based attacks which it can later release in a beam or in the form of traveling slash projectiles. Due to its magical nature, Calesvalon is useless against the Fair Folk.

NPCs:

• Alias: Lassie (by Rob)
• Gender: Female
• Age: 16
• Birthday: 1st of May

Aaron's first sibling. Like the rest of her family, Leslie was born with a dangerous hereditary disease. The disease messed with the pigment in her body and she was born as an albino. It was believed that she wouldn't live to 15. She almost died when she was 12. Luckily her older brother had already made an agreement with the fairies and the queen inscribed a couple of sigils onto her body, one to strengthen her body and cure her and another to give her magical potential. With her magic, she enrolled into Gateway where she managed to summon Sparkleach, a living candlestick.

Her albinism means that she has white hair and red eyes. Her sigils are located on her arms, but are hidden by a red and black gothic lolita dress which also serves to hide her pale skin from the scorching sun. She also wears white stockings and red shoes. She also tends to wear a red ribbon and hat as accessories.

Leslie never thought that she would survive for long. She could never have even imagined that her life would be saved by fairies! After being healed the usually pessimistic girl turned into a huge optimist. She also started gambling with her peers; after all, if you're lucky enough to have your life saved by faeries, you must get a killer hand when playing poker.

• Alias: Robbie
• Gender: Male
• Age: 12
• Birthday: 2nd of February

Aaron's second sibling. Like the rest of his family, Robert was born with a dangerous hereditary disease. He was always prone to illness and would stay in bed for months at a time, hanging on to life by a thread. Then the fairies came and fixed him up! Partially. They strengthened his body making him stronger and more durable then a normal human and they made sure that he won't die from an illness, but something went wrong and he was not cured from his illness. He is still prone to coughing fits and will sometimes be too weak to leave bed.

Due to his illness, Rob has quite a lean frame, so much so that he could easily be mistaken for a girl with even remotely feminine clothes. Not that it matters since he so rarely leaves the house anyway. Around the house, usually wears sleeveless shirts which show off his sigils and short shorts. When going outside, he puts on a baggy long-sleeved shirt to hide his skinniness and almost always puts on a jacket that he rarely takes off while still outside.

Robert is a very shy boy and doesn't know how to talk to strangers do to the fact that he spent most of his life in bed. He tends to stutter when talking to people and has closed body language. Seeing as he's stuck inside, he took up knitting and doll making as a hobby that he doesn't want anyone to know about.
