Je ne m'attendais pas à ce que quelque chose de supposément divin ressemble à quelque chose... Je ne sais pas, laïque? C'était un dieu de l'ordre public?
Une seule pensée, fugace, passa dans l'esprit d'Aaron alors qu'il était laissé avec cette échappatoire toujours si étrange dans la conscience qui venait avec être jeté dans un monde nouveau. Il n'y avait pas d'autre façon de le dire -- cette expérience était tout à fait étrange au point qu'elle aurait pu aussi facilement se passer qu'un rêve de fièvre vraiment bizarre.
Mais la brise fraîche qui souffle autour de lui et l'environnement tout à fait immaculé dont il a aperçu quand il est venu jeter cette idée par la fenêtre.
Ce qui a attiré son attention, d'abord et avant tout, c'est l'apparition d'une robe couvrant son corps. Ils ont drapé ce qui ressemblait aux vêtements qu'il portait jusqu'alors à la maison, mais Aaron n'était pas pressé de vérifier. Puis il y avait le personnel, qui a donné au jeune homme une idée générale de ce à quoi il ressemblait: un mage de fantaisie classique.
Donc c'était un de ces scénarios, hein?
"Ah, mon Dieu... Donc c'était vraiment vrai, hein? Eh bien, voilà mon agnosticisme, je suppose," il se moquait à lui-même, tirant le personnel de son dos et le plantant fermement dans le sol. Il avait toujours voulu faire ça sans avoir des regards bizarres de la part des gens.
Il a fallu un moment de plus avant qu'il se souvienne qu'il y avait d'autres personnes(?) à cet événement, aussi. Comme c'est arrivé, ils semblaient aussi apparaître ici. Pas de fanfare, pas de spectacle, juste...
"...Ah... Je devrais rester jusqu'à ce qu'une fête se forme. D'habitude, c'est comme ça que ça se passe, n'est-ce pas?"
Name: Aaron Zhou
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance: Hm? Oh, I can work with that.
Aaron's about 5'9" tall; other than the outfit, he is as he was on Earth.
History: Is there really a story to tell about an average Asian kid? There were no 'mysterious occurrences' in his life, unless you call everything being kept perfectly in-balance as mysterious... Which, in all honesty, you kind of might. Aaron didn't act on life; he let it act on him, and only when he saw something noteworthy did he pick himself up and fight against the flow to check it out. That's how much of his early life was spent, actually; doing as he was told, passively working through every problem that rolled his way in a nonchalant manner.
That changed once he hit high school, though; suddenly, a whole array of different subjects opened up to him, and though he kept that same monotony in things he cared not for, those that he did, he excelled in. It was also here that he met friends that lasted; ones that weren't as hopped up on hormones or teenage angst as the ones in middle school. They stuck together and had fun, lent one another a shoulder when they needed it, argued, laughed it off, and so on and so forth. College meant just another door opening up to him, but as life will be, things aren't always so clear-cut.
Personality: Aaron's the sort of person who slacks off far more than he should. Work comes second to relaxation, especially if that relaxation involves not hunching over a pile of papers to figure out the most inane of issues. He claims that it's simply a matter of efficiency to his friends, but none of them really buy it. He doesn't, either, but he'll laugh it off if worst comes to worst and just stick it out.
As a byproduct of this lifestyle, he's got a tendency to only be motivated when things interest him--that usually only includes games and interesting anime or manga pop up, but Aaron does have a tendency to dedicate himself to scientific research and reading when it suits him. He lands in the middle of the introverted/extroverted scale, though he tends towards the latter ever so slightly. He's always got the right mood for the right situation--at least, in his mind--so his own thoughts are just to 'go with the flow' and add what seems necessary to the equation... In one way or another.
Abilities:
Magical Aptitude: While he himself begins with no offensive or defensive magic, Aaron is able to learn magic at a faster pace than most. It's only really because he's read so many different series, though; it's a lot easier to visualize something you want if you have multiple ways to reference it. He must fully understand how a certain form of magic works if he wishes to utilize it, though; doing so haphazardly and off of gut instinct will usually fizzle out and/or backfire.
Analyze: While he may not be able to cast spells to kill, Aaron does have one skill to use: Analyze. By casting this on an object, he can pull out information about things he finds, and the skill only grows in the level of information it dumps the more unique items he checks out. Like those berries you were about to eat being poisonous. Y'know?Equipment: Fancy robes. Because fancy.
Staff: Can be used to bop people. Should be for magic, but as he has none, bopping it is.
Bag o' Gold: Because starter funds.Other: Has been friends with Akira for a while. The schadenfreude is palpable.
