Profile[]
Introduction[]
Trails through Daybreak[]
A rowdy playboy who leads a local gang in Langport's Eastern Quarter. He practices the Gekka school of swordsmanship and is known across the city by colorful titles like "the Prodigy of Langport" and "the Little Conqueror of Luozhou". He spends his time acting in female roles at the local theater, where he performs sword dances, and hitting up the casino. Though he's got a bit of an edge to his personality, he has an undeniable charisma that draws people to him. The crime syndicate, Heiyue, which controls the Eastern Quarter has been trying to recruit him as one of their executives, but Aaron seems to have little interest in the organization.[1]
Trails through Daybreak II[]
Despite being a reckless and hot-tempered young man, Aaron has a deep and abiding love for his home in the Eastern Quarter of Langport, where he is well known among the people as a child prodigy. He is occasionally referred to as 'The Little Conqueror of Luozhou.' Due to his eye-catchingly bright red hair and attractive features, Aaron is often the go-to choice for playing female roles at the Eastern Theater. He is also a practitioner of Gekka, one of the three major schools of Eastern martial arts, as well as a highly-skilled fencer. As can be imagined, these various accomplishments of his have garnered him a certain amount of attention from individuals within Heiyue. Despite their interest, however, Aaron has no intention of joining the syndicate; instead, he plans on carving his own path in life. Aaron and Van first met while the Arkride Solutions team was working on a case in Langport—one that would eventually come to shake the Dazzling City to its core. It was during this time that Aaron came to learn the truth about not only himself, but Heiyue's schemes as well. With these new revelations out in the open, Aaron began to reconsider the path he wished to walk in life, which, in turn, led to him joining Arkride Solutions. While he did eventually return to Langport, he continues to act without regard to Heiyue's expectations of him. Recently, he's even been taking a page out of Van's book by helping those in need within the city.[2]
Trails beyond the Horizon[]
The notorious playboy leader of a group of hot-blooded youths in Langport's Eastern Quarter. He is known as the local 'prodigy' and 'Little Conqueror of Luozhou' for his skill in the both the Gekka school of martial arts and Eastern opera, in which he performs wildly entrancing sword dances in female roles. In 1208, Aaron's soul was almost overtaken by his previous incarnation, the 'Tyrant,' a demonic man who once ruled Langport's Eastern Quarter with an iron fist. Though he eventually regained himself, he later came to learn that crime syndicate Heiyue had been attempting to use these circumstances to their advantage. In order to reexamine both himself and his relationship with Heiyue, he left Langport to work with Arkride Solutions in the capital.[3]Appearance[]

Personality[]
Aaron is a playboy who had made a name for himself as a philanderer in the Eastern Quarter, and the leader of a hot-blooded youth group. Aaron is typically disrespectful to his seniors and lives a fairly hedonistic lifestyle. He is vengeful when those close to him have been wronged and will start a fight easily. He has a strong attachment to his hometown and an equally strong sense of loyalty which inspires those around him. He is successful at everything he tries his hand at.
While being a master of sword and fist of the Gekka Style[JP 1], one of three major martial art styles, he never stops attracting the attention of others with other feats such as earning heaps of money at a casino and performing sword dances in Eastern theatre as a onnagata. Because of his extravagant behavior, he earned the nicknames Prodigy[JP 2] and Crimson Khan.[JP 3]
Trivia[]
- Aaron's Japanese nickname "The Little Conqueror of Luozhou" is a reference to the famous Three Kingdoms-era China leader Sun Ce, who has the same moniker, and to the Luozhou Bridge in Langport.
