Weight: 62 Kg (Approx: 136 lbs)

Hair: Aidan’s pitch-black hair is chin length and grown out so that it partially covers his face.

Eyes: Aidan has Emerald-Green eyes which glimmer in the light however they can be difficult to make out due to his Hooded Eyelids. He will often wear his glasses due to his short-sightedness but sometimes will opt for contacts instead.

Dominant Hand: Right

Accent: When speaking Japanese Aidan's tones are precise and usually formal lacking a hint of where he might come from, this is due to his father teaching his to speak Japanese without an accent whilst growing up to align with the parent's plans for the future. When speaking Irish, English or German however his native tones leak through and he speaks with his native lilting or sing-song voice.

Physical Description: Aidan stands above the average height for his country reaching 6 foot tall, he has an athletic frame comprised of quite broad shoulders and powerful arms relative to the rest of his leaner build due to a life of extensive archery training and aerobic exercise. His emerald eyes could be said to gleam like gemstones and are surprisingly sharp given his youthful appearance, even hidden by his slim thin-frame glasses it is hard not to notice the green of his iris.

Aidan's face is quite slim with delicate features and the man’s hair hangs down to chin length, the fringe partially obscuring his face, the dark colour of his hair is off-set by Aidan’s very pale complexion. It is these conflicted physical attributes that hint at the man’s mixed ancestry from a history of Clann's goal to maintain Blood Purity.

Although he seems to utterly unaware of it Aidan is an extremely attractive man due to his well-honed physique, perfectly symmetrical and almost dainty features, utterly unblemished porcelain skin and black silky hair. If anything he is perhaps a little too “pretty” to be considered handsome in the classical sense. It is amusing that the one most unaware of this seems to be Aidan himself.

Body Language: Of particular note aside from his appearance is the Irishman's body language. Aidan is often considered a cold and uncaring man, his default expression seems to be one that could be either considered devoid of emotion or perhaps slightly annoyed at what is happening around him due to his tendency to frown when in thought. His body movements are precise and measured in a way that only reinforces this view others hold of him but when he does visibly express emotions he tends to be quite reserved with a faint smile or a quiet laugh however when he grows comfortable enough around an individual he does tend to be more emotive. Whether withdrawn or not however no one can deny that Aidan moves with unusual grace coming from a combination of a childhood filled with combat training and etiquette lessons then later maintained by his martial art past-times.

Usual Clothing: Aidan’s personal appearance rarely varies as he styles his hair the same way each day, keeps himself clean shaven and almost always can be seen wearing some form of dark suit, white shirt and matching dark tie. He will often wear a high-collared pea-coat of some sort of either black or grey. He finishes this rather boring look off with a pair of black shoes.

Jewellery: Aidan always wears a chain from which a Celtic Cross hangs, this is the cross that once belonged to his sister which he took from his home the day he left Ireland to go live with his Uncle. Around his left wrist hangs his own Quincy Cross which is of Celtic craftsmanship. Both crosses are very similar except Aidan’s is silver were Aine’s looks to be made of Gold.

Other Items: Aidan usually carries a plain leather wallet, a mobile phone of some description and will sometimes have his notebook with him in a black laptop bag.


Spiritual Energy Colour: Light Blue (As far as Aidan is aware blue is the only colour a Quincy’s Reiatsu can be).

Spiritual Description: Aidan’s Spiritual Energy appears as a pale blue colour flowing around the Quincy seemingly insubstantial. It lazily rolls off the man like fog and sometimes tendrils flicker out to brush against those who get too close which can cause them to feel as if a cold breeze is blowing against their flesh. Most of the time this energy doesn't convey emotion, much like the features of the man it belongs to, but when Aidan is suitably enraged the spiritual power roars around him like a storm and what was once insubstantial becomes thick clouds of shining pale blue light as it burns cold with his fury. When in this angered state Aidan's aura, which would usually cause the sensation of a slight chill, can instead make others feel like they've been momentarily dunked in icily cold water. Even Aidan himself is not immune to the feelings his aura evokes and when his Spiritual Energy grows powerful enough and is set loose he will feel as though that ice water is flowing through his veins.




Personality 
Aidan is an outwardly cold man who has never been very good at visibly expressing himself to others, whilst this was a minor issue when he was younger it became more apparent as he aged especially due to his solitary nature which seemed to only exacerbate this flaw. Underneath his icy shell however he is quite capable of warmth and kindness however so far the only person who has truly seen through this was his dear sister Aine. To Aidan himself this has been a major issue with his life, one he has always struggled with seeming not only from his Alexithymia but also due to the harsh training he received from his father growing up which instilled in the boy a need to be calm and collected at all times. Aidan has consistently tried to correct this flaw in himself but his extreme social awkwardness, general lack of empathy and preferences towards asocial activities (which is often mistaken for misanthropy) has caused his to regress time and time again, it is due to this that he lacks any real relationships outside of work and hobbies. However when Aidan does eventually become comfortable around an individual then he will usually come out of his shell and act less reserved although this will frequently be undone if in the company of other strangers. However due to Aidan's stoic nature, stemming from both a natural mindset and how he was raised, it is easy to see that he is incredibly calm and collected under pressure allowing him to be analytical and logical in even the most heated situations.

As a by-product of Aidan’s social difficulties he is an extremely lonely individual however this does have a positive side, since the man makes so few friends who are able to forgive his poor people skills those relationship which he does maintain cause him to be incredibly loyal towards them and he will go to them any time they are in need to provide any kind of support that he is capable of.

A side of the Quincy which is not seen in most scenarios is his just nature, the man functions of his own personal moral ethics. He cannot stand the idea of the weak or helpless being harmed especially when he sees men who abuse or poorly treat women, this likely stems from his traditionalist upbringing as, for all his prejudices, Aidan's father was guided by his own sense of what was right and wrong. Indeed it is this point that got him drawn back into the Spiritual World in the first place when he saved a woman from a Hollow attack. Part of this code is also a weakness in combat as he prefers to use non-lethal force in conflict and to simply incapacitate his opponent when possible being a pacifist by his non-confrontational nature although this obviously doesn't apply to monstrous beasts like Hollows. Despite this code not applying to Hollows Aidan avoids killing the heartless monsters when able preferring to chase them off, something he is quick to hide from other Quincy, this is due to the man's worries over the Balance which in truth he is not even sure exists and he can not deny it is in part out of fear of the Soul Society.

Despite his behaviour in the past Aidan is regretful over abandoning his family and having let relationships get so bad to the point that he left, despite having such a poor relationship with his father he believes that he could have repaired his connection to his brother and he had plenty of other relatives in the O’Mongan Clann that he cared about. However Aidan is simply too stubborn to go crawling back to Ireland and apologise, the sad truth is that it may take his father’s death before he returns to his family. Aidan is also filled with a certain amount of anger at himself for not only fleeing his responsibilities and the Clann but also for allowing his skills to go to waste, he sometimes finds himself wondering just how many lives could have been saved if he had been there with his powers to stop them? He also frequently gets frustrated at his lack of strength as, at 28 years old he is far weaker than he was at 17.

A defining quality in Aidan's beliefs is his faith He has faith to various degrees in many things, the first and least clear is his Religious Faith as a practising Christian but despite being raised as a Roman Catholic the truth is that Aidan isn't sure if he truly believes or not however he still finds comfort in the rituals of his religion and will frequently go to the local church to pray. Secondly he has faith in people as the Irishman likes to believe in the potential of others especially those he trusts, a belief that he does not frequently offer towards himself. Then, most of all, Aidan has faith in Humanity and he dreams of the day that Spiritualists from all around the world, Quincy and non-Quincy alike, will stand united in defence of the living so that Hollows may no longer freely hunt and slaughter mortals and to prove to the Shinigami that humans don't need their interference. This belief is, in part, the reason why he has begun reaching out to the Spiritual Community of Karakura Town hoping to find allies.


Hobbies:

• Archery – A rather obvious one, Aidan has studied many kinds of archery primarily Traditional, Recurve and Kyudo.

• Martial Arts – Aidan attends a dojo to study Kenjutsu and Iaijutsu/Iaido, he also has some interest in Western Historical Fencing. When he has time he also practices the Chinese martial art of Xing-Yi although this is partially for health. Lately these hobbies have been taken a back seat to his Spiritual Training.

• Programming – Aidan sometimes plays around with coding and teaches programming as part of his job.


Languages:

• Irish Gaelic (Irish Accent) – Fluent as he was taught the traditional language of his Island by his family.

• English (Irish Accent) – Fluent as it’s the main language of Ireland.

• Japanese (No Accent) – Fluent due to his father’s original plans for him, he had to learn to speak with no accent due to the mess his Irish tones made of the language.

• German (Irish Accent) – Passable, the language of his Mother’s side of the family and he lived in Germany for a few years.


Positive Qualities:

Stoic - “I am calm. That is why I will win.” 
Due to his Stoic nature Aidan is extremely calm in almost any situation and is able to keep his cool under mental duress or even physical pain. He demonstrates this ability very clearly during conflict where he is able to coolly choose the best course of action. The level of emotionless stems directly from a natural inability to properly express himself alongside being raised in a manor in which this was always reinforced as a young child. Even when Aidan's own ability to remain calm becomes stressed he can always call upon Caidil Teagmháil to reinforce this trait.

Moral - “I can’t let you do that, please leave immediately or I shall have to act.”
Bound by a code of ethics which makes perfect sense in Aidan’s mind he is unable to allow evil actions to go unpunished. He tends to be quite protective of humanity when it comes to the supernatural as so few of the world’s population can defend themselves from the likes of Hollows or Shinigami. He is also more than willing to offer assistance to most people if it is within his power to help no matter what their difficulty is. However just as his code of ethics make Aidan a good man they are also a source of weakness as sometimes he will become involved in situations that it would be wiser to avoid but he would believe it unjust to ignore. This can even be an issue in combat as Aidan will aim not to kill many of his foes, partially because he dislikes killing on principle but also because he fully understands the destructive nature of Quincy powers and their effect on the balance.

Analytical – “I have seen through your power now.”
Aidan is analytical by nature and tends to think things through in a logical and systematic way finding comfort in quantifying and organising the world around him. This helps him in combat situations making him quite a tactical fighter and quick on the uptake when it comes to recognising new fighting styles or abilities. The drawback of this is that sometimes he thinks deeply when instead he should think quickly. Despite this way of thinking Aidan readily admits there are things that he simply does not and cannot understand. It is thanks to his calm mindset that he is so effective at this.

Pacifist – “Luckily for you my Caidil Teagmháil means that you don't have to die here.”
The Irish Quincy doesn't like the idea of harming others even non-humans and will often go to great lengths to defeat opponents without causing them permanent harm although this doesn't always apply such as in the case of Hollows however he still tends to try and not kill too many Hollows preferring to chase them away out of worry about attracting the attention of the Shinigami, the infamous genocidal warriors that inhabit the Soul Society, even though in truth he isn't convinced that "The Balance" is a real thing and not an invention of the Gotei to justify their existence. Luckily for Aidan the inherited power of his bloodline is Caidil Teagmháil, a arrow of silver Reishi, that allows allows the Quincy to simply tranquillise his targets instead of destroying. 

Loyal – “I am not…close to many people but I will stand beside those I am no matter the outcome.”
Aidan is a solitary individual, socially awkward and unskilled at making connections with other people however those that manage to earn his friendship will find themselves with an ally in even their darkest hour. He is also loyal to beliefs and ideals becoming dedicated to them if it is something he comes to believe in. 

Faithful – “I believe in a great many things my friend, am I certain in my beliefs? Not always but then isn't that what faith is? Believing despite your doubts.”
Aidan is a practising Christian although not one without doubt and he partially only continues to worship in the way of his faith for the comfort it provides. He also is quick to have faith in people, especially allies, believing they can be more than they are even if they themselves don't. Lastly and most strongly is his faith in humanity where he believes that one day the short-lived race will outgrow the spiritual beings that constantly interfere with their existence so that they will not only be free of the hollows but also the schemes and interference of the Shinigami.


Negative Qualities:

Cold – “Am I annoyed? What makes you think that?”
Aidan appears cold to others, this is due to a mixture of things. Firstly he tends to speak in an even tone, his own body language is measured and precise and as such doesn't betray what he’s feeling. Also by his nature he doesn't tend to express or voice his emotions. He finds it difficult to socialise and as such doesn't make much of an effort to speak with his peers. These attributes portray a man who doesn't care about anything or anyone beyond himself which isn't an accurate picture of Aidan’s true nature. The Irishman strives to overcome his own limitation in this regard attempting to be more emotive when he can, this becomes more clear around those he is close to and he is notably warmer in their presence. It is believed Aidan suffers from an extreme case of Alexithymia. This flaw is reinforced by the childhood he had where Aidan's father taught him at length not to express himself. "In battle be calm, in society be neutral and feelings are a weakness so bury them deep so that not even you know them" This became the Quincy's mantra growing up and eventually it was second nature to the degree that now, as an adult, he finds it almost impossible to reverse this training, indeed Aidan tends to find true emotional displays to be embarrassing and usually apologies shamefully for them.

Socially Awkward & Asocial – “I, um, don't know what you want from me.”
Partially thanks to an inability to properly express his emotions in most situations and a distinct lack of empathy making it difficult to correctly recognise them in others Aidan struggles in social situations and rarely is capable of maintaining long term relationships. Due to this Aidan has a lot of free time which he spends alone perhaps due to this he is incredibly asocial and is more comfortable during solitary activities are when only around one, at a stretch two, close friends whom he is comfortable with. Not only is his performance in social situations far below par but he is also extremely uncomfortable in most of them feeling like he is the centre of attention despite hovering at the edge of the the group. He does not feel this way around children however and is able to teach to a classroom and run extracurricular school activities with ease.

Lonely – “…”
Despite being more comfortable on his own than with others he craves the company of others which is one of his motivations for getting more involved with the Quincy community and the Spiritual one as a whole believing that he can overcome his flawed people skills by approaching the issue as a, at least partially, professional environment as part of his Quincy lifestyle which would be far less uncomfortable to him. As it stands despite being well respected in the School he teaches at the man has few real relationships outside of work and has absolutely no long-term friends.

Angry– “It's my fault!”
Aidan's anger is completely internalised and directed at himself and would be better described as self-hatred sometimes stemming into self-disgust and he has a tendency to furiously blame himself over things that are beyond his control. He is furious at himself for leaving his family as a teenager and is even angrier about the fact that he abandoned his powers causing them to not only atrophy but for the Quincy to forget his training becoming far weaker than he once was. He often finds himself wondering how many lives he might have saved if he had just kept growing in strength and skill instead of being limited to combating only Base Hollows and the weakest Menos. The only visible showing of these feelings tends to be his self-depreciating humour. Whilst his anger tends to be focused on himself if he was ever pushed to a degree where it broke free and found another target then the results could well be terrifying.

Regretful – “If only things were different…then I could go home.”
Due to his disagreements with his father over the years Aidan eventually left home, now too proud and angry to return he will not return to his family. Even though this is his choice he is regretful of his relationship with his family the man is simply too stubborn to try and repair his relationship with his parent. He is also angry about his abandonment of the Quincy people and his powers regretting those choices every day of his life. When Aidan makes a mistake it tends to cling to him keeping the man up at night and he finds it extremely hard to forgive himself or let things go. Aidan also regards his life as incredibly empty feeling as though he's achieved very little of importance not only professionally but also in his private life, this isn't helped by how much he know's his spiritual abilities have degraded.

Fearful – “What if I fail? What if I can't protect anyone.”
Aidan has many fears most of which he buries deep inside like the majority of his feelings. What if he never regains his strength? What if he never repairs the relationship with his family? What if his father and brother despise him beyond forgiveness' ability to accept? What if he fails as a guardian of humanity's innocents? What if? What if? What if? Worries as numerous as the stars and that can be born in the wake of a single mistake.




Mekkakyu

Aidan’s Mekkakyu is a Celtic Cross which hangs from a chain that is wrapped firmly around his left wrist at all times. The cross appears to be made of Sterling Silver and is covered in intricate vine-like patterns, for all intents and purposes it only seems like a normal piece of jewellery. To those with the talent of Reiatsu Perception they can sense that the item is soaked in spiritual energy.

Around his neck Aidan wears an exact replica of this cross except it is forged from Gold however this one is spiritually dead and has been for a long time.




Sanrei Device

Adhering to his traditional background Aodh's Sanrei Glove takes the form of a Western Style Archery Bracer.  The white Sanrei Glove stretches across 3/4's of his forearm down to his hand where it wrapped around the lower half of his palm and covered only the bottom of his thumb. There is a small metal ring on the underside of the wrist from which Aodh's Mekkakyu hangs.

Aodh created his glove with the help of Freyleif Jökulsdóttir as at the time of it's creation the Irishman's own skill was not evolved enough. However despite the item being created through Freyleifs skill it was developed and shaped by Aodh's will. Aodh used his memories of his Grandfather's Sanrei Glove to create the device in it's image. On the inside of the glove is engraved the name of Aodh's sister Áine/




Spirit Weapon - Dhiaga Bogha

Aidan was raised and originally trained by his exceptionally traditionalist family and as such, unsurprisingly, his Mekkakyu materialises a longbow as his personal Spirit Weapon.

The bow is called Dhiaga Bogha which simply means “Divine Bow” in Gaelic, it is the name for the weapon that every O’Mongan Quincy has manifested for as far back as the family can trace. Historically it is the next step for any O’Mongan Quincy after they can materialise the basic Kojaku.

Physically the Dhiaga Bogha is a silver longbow of regular proportions and shape with a golden grip, and an intricate vine-like golden pattern along both limbs. The bow materialises blue Reishi arrows except for the special "Caidil Teagmháil" arrow which is pale enough to be described as silver/white.


Schrift
T - “The Tranquil”
Every Quincy possesses a Schrift even if they don't know what it is such as is the case with Aidan. The Schrift summarises the nature of a Quincy's unique abilities. For Aidan O'Mongan this is "T - The Tranquil".

Even from the earliest days of Aidan's Quincy training under his father he shied away from the destructive nature of his people. His preference for non-lethal methods of attack was greatly mocked by his father and the leader of the O'Mongan Clann.

Even though the Schrift suits Aidan's personality quite closely it is an inherited trait which every Echt Quincy of the O'Mongan Clann inherits although the Gemischt members of the family are potentially capable of also manifesting this power although to a lesser level.

Since retraining his powers and beginning to live as a Quincy again Aidan has went to great lengths to try and avoid destroying even Hollow although in the case of the heartless monsters of Hueco Mundo this is partially to try and not offend the Soul Society who believe in the Balance of Souls.

First Manifestation - Caidil Teagmháil

Translation: Sleep Touch

Aidan’s Quincy power is hereditary just like the bow Dhiaga Bogha, it is called Caidil Teagmháil which roughly translates to “Sleep Touch”, and it is believed this ability was developed from the techniques of early mortal hunters who used poisons. The arrow at its most potent against the unwary or weak renders them unconscious but more usually it acts like a tranquilliser making the target steadily weaker and less focused over time.

Aidan has complete control over the effect of the arrow and as such, if he so wished, he could lower the potency so that it merely calmed the one who is it by it down. The Quincy can also choose whether or not the arrow actually inflicts a wound or harmlessly injects the spiritual tranquilliser into the victim.

Lastly, and the ability least well known outside the family, the wielder of this power can summon the calming properties of Caidil Teagmháil to help calm themselves during combat with no negative after-effects.

Although this ability is inherited by all the O'Mongan's it suits Aidan extremely well and is something he utilises whenever possible. The power allows the Irish Quincy to defeat his opponents without having to kill them or even cause lasting damage, this suits Aidan fine as it allows him to circumvent the destructive nature of his Quincy powers as well as side-stepping the possible destruction of Souls which was why his race was once culled by the Shinigami.



Current Allegiance: None. Aidan hasn't been part of the Quincy Community in a long time.
