.:Name:. Aro Kom Yujleda| ~ • ~ | Character Basics | ~ • ~ |
.:Nick Name:. None
.:Affiliation:. Reapers - Yujleda
.:Age:. Twenty-Four

.:Physical Appearance:. Aro has always had rather long hair he's kept pushed away from his face. It's thick and wound into medium sized dreads that keep it in place. He keeps it manageable. His skin is rather tanned from hours in the sun. His eyes are dark brown with dark, thick brows framing them. His ears are pierced as is his nose. Once, before becoming a reaper he would wear a nose ring. Now, the only peircing he has kept is one in his ear where a long earring made up of feather and cloth hangs, dishevelled. He is built like a warrior with thick arms and a pronounced chest. In the heat of Yujleda territory he rarely wore much armor.
.:Height:. 6'0"

.:Personality:. Aro has always had a more relaxed, playful aura about him that has never been snuffed out. No matter how many times he's been bested while training, he's always managed to come back with a grin and a playful remark. He's never fallen in battle, though this has much to do with the bond he has with his older brother Vero, who has always been rather protective of him as they've grown up. Despite the fact that his older brother is much more skilled in battle, Aro has never really been envious. Yes, he wishes to be better, but the relationship that he has with his brother has always been far more important to him than his pride. There have been rare instances where Vero's protective nature has pushed Aro to prove himself all the more. That motivation has been enough to overcome his playful, flippant nature-- making him one of Yujleda's more talented, reputable warriors. Protecting his people has always given Aro much pride.
After being taken by the mountain, Aro was broken by it. His playfulness was replaced by white hot rage and blood lust, along with an addiction to the Mountain Man made drug 'red'. The transformation into the abominable creature has crippled any personality that Aro has developed and made him into something he isn't; a weapon.
.:Special Skills:. Aro is a skilled bowyer. During his time away from the battlefield he often works on weapons, but his true skill is with the woodwork that comes with winding a bow. The trees in Yujleda territory are perfect for the ranged weapons and though the bows he makes lack originality they are powerful ranged weapons. He is also a talented fighter.

.:Birthplace:. Yujleda Territory
.:Family:. Aro lost his parents at a young age and barely remembers them. His only surviving family is his brother Vero, with whom he shares a close bond.
.:Occupation:. Warrior - Reaper
.:History:. For as long as Aro can remember, he's been trained as a warrior by his older brother's side. He doesn't remember his parents, nor do people tell him of them. His priorities have always been set on the task; training and his brother Vero. He spent his entire childhood training to become a skilled fighter for Yujleda, though his trainers and fellow warriors frequently would grow irritated by Aro's playful attitutde. Though his games may have seemed as trivial as the games of a child, he was never truly distracted. He was rarely outmatched-- though his skills were bested by his brother, making Vero rather protective whether Aro felt he needed to be or not. Still, Aro didn't resent his brothers overprotective nature. It gave him a sense of security that many others could never have for themselves. His life was nothing more than blood, war and the occasional lapses in time where his people had peace.
Everything changed when he was taken by the Mountain. Reapers attacked a group of scouts that had ventured too close to the mountain. They killed so many of them and took the warriors captive. It was one of the few times that Aro was separated from Vero... Instead of being kept with the others, Aro was separated and tortured. Electricity, red and cruelty turned him into a beast-- a reaper. Day by day, he felt himself slipping farther away from himself. His memories became shadowed. His affections were forgotten. He lost himself completely; desperate for red. When the mountain fell at the hands of Skaikru the reapers were left. Aro managed to take advantage and steal the vile drug-- but without the alliance that promised the reaper's return to men, Aro has been struggling and living much like a wounded animal. He's been separated from his commands and with each day that passes his supply of red runs low. As does his will to ration it. An addict is not truly capable of reason.
