Background:
Aidan was brought up in Detroit, Michigan with his brother. His parents didn't intentionally let their kids out into the streets, but they didn't realize that they lived in such a bad neighborhood. AJ's parents are quite naive.
His trouble started when he was ten and he met Vince. Aidan and Ryan had been out doing their normal ten year old things, just playing around, and Vince happened to come across them. Aidan had known about drugs, been talked to about them, but he'd never experienced them firsthand. Vince changed all of that.
By the time his 11th birthday came, AJ was already addicted to a number of things--vicodin, oxycodone, opium, and alcohol mainly. His brother took a little longer, but eventually was just as bad as Aidan. It wasn't long before he wanted something else, something more and when he was 14, he was introduced to meth, or "ice" as Vince called it. Both he and his brother loved it.
For the next year, the two of them were out constantly--binging for days at a time. When they couldn't afford it, the they would drink. Now, meth is a stimulant and alcohol is a depressant. This never went well. It wasn't until Vince died that Ryan stopped. Aidan just--couldn't. He wasn't ready to.
The two of them started to drift--Orion becoming less and less like his brother--who was getting worse as time went on. Aidan couldn't keep up with his addiction--costs were extreme. That's when he started dealing. He basically replaced Vince.
That's where Aidan is today. His drug of choice has taken it's toll on him. He's very sickly looking, very scrawny. His eyes are always red, his teeth are just starting to decay (though it isn't noticable just yet). In short--Aidan looks like hell.
Also, in his fifth year, he became involved with Eva McCorkle. He'd never actually been a dater but she somehow managed to worm her way into his life--and they're still together today. She is pregnant--a baby girl, eight months along and ready to pop. And she doesn't approve of the speed. Eva's constantly on him to quit--swearing up and down he'll never even get a chance to so much as hold his daughter if he doesn't. AJ doesn't like this idea much. He's not ready to quit yet. And he isn't giving up his daughter either. He's told Eva that he's not quitting--but that he swears he won't use when he's around Abby. He thinks that should be good enough.
Personality + Flaws:
Aidan is a lot like his brother in personality (though not in his actions). He's relatively easy going--in his opinion anyways. To others, he might not seem as such. He keeps to himself--most of the time anyways. If he has something to say, he will, but he doesn't go out of his way just to piss someone off.
Friends isn't really a term he uses. He either likes you or he doesn't and that works both ways. People either like him or they don't.
Aidan started out very intelligent when he started school. Of course, through the years, he's gotten progressively more lazy when it comes to the work--thus he doesn't exactly belong in Ravenclaw anymore. He did start out there, though, and that is where he rests his hat, so to speak.
His temper is very sporadic. Some days he's like a time bomb just waiting to go off and others it's impossible to get a rise out of him. He and Eva can often be found fighting (screaming at each other really) and then the next hour, they're fine. Well, he is anyways. Sometimes she doesn't come around for awhile. Which'll either piss him off or he'll shrug it off.
Aidan's really complex with it comes to his personality. He's just not easy to explain.
Magical Abilities: None, he's a student. A very lazy student.
Ambitions: To be a good dad. He's worried with the meth that he won't be a good father--and as much as that worries him, he's not at all ready to quit it.
