  Appearance Notes
  
  Aran stands at a grand 6'10 and weights a total of 210 lbs. His short ginger hair always seems to be facing upward and he has a pair of lightly colored brown eye and bare a very almond-like tone. Aran also has a well trimmed beard that shares a color scheme with his hair.
  
  When it comes down to his physical body Aran's skin isn't nothing to brag about. Even when he passes hours below the sun his skin always keeps a light tone, almost even pale. But thanks to his dedication to fit any sort of role Aran has developed an ectomorph type of body build. It may just be above average and can barely be considered as muscular, but Aran doesn't seem to try to develop it any further since he claims "Balance is key, if I lose or gain any more muscular mass then many roles for characters will be kept away from me."
  
  Aran's clothing hardly seems to variate as it usually consists of a dark colored coat as well a shirt of a similar scheme, a pair of velvet toned jeans and brown pair of boots. Occasionally he will be seen wearing scarf, but this situations are pretty rare. Aran likes to keep all of his wardrobe well ironed and clean to always look his best at everything he does.

  Personality:
  
  Aran is an exceptionally dynamic fellow, one that isn't easily put down by the misfortunes of life. Even when he was still a child living in a small house in a busy corner of Dublin Aran always showed signs of wanting to make the people around him happy, and he managed to discover that the best way to do so was acting. Aran is extremely devoted to his work and is always happy to play any role, no matter how insignificant or important they can be. He will pass hours without any rest in order to learn every single line of a script. Sometimes Aran won't get any sleep, but he has never complained and even when his eyelids feel like they weighted a ton Aran will always read the script with a smile on his face.
  
  Aran doesn't seem to lose his cool very easily and will affront his problems with a mature manner or simply laugh them off (Ex: If he happens to forget his umbrella and it starts raining Aran will simply chuckle because of his misfortune and will keep walking, or look for a shelter depending on the magnitude of the rain). Years of many failed auditions, forgetting lines of the script while in the premier day of a play and his voice cracking during a musical have turned Aran into a shameless person. It doesn't matter what kind of awkward or embarrassing situation he has gotten himself into, Aran will never show any signs of regret.
  
  When it comes down to playing a role Aran's personality seems to completely turn around and perfectly adjusts to the one of the character. He could be having a miserable day, but if the character is described as being joyful then Aran will forget about everything and just focus on the part. Sometimes he focuses way too much and even keeps acting as the character even after the play is done.
  
  Aran isn't a modest man. He is well aware of his acting skills and seems to get drunk off it. Remember how I said that he is a calm person? Well, there's actually something that will set him off. If he gets some sort of criticisms, doesn't matter how small it can be, Aran will receive it with a smile and a "thank you", but behind the scene it's a completely different story. He will pass hours rehearsing, even if that was the play's closing date, yelling at his reflection in the mirror and even breaking some small furniture. Why you may ask? Well, according to Aran acting is the only thing he is good at, so if you take that away from him then in his eyes he is nobody.
  
  Background:
  
  The city of Dublin in Ireland, that's where Aran was born. Raised by his two parents, Cowal and Eavan Ó Caiside, life wasn't exactly easy to cope with. By the time he was born Aran's father had lost his job as a lorry driver, forcing his mother to take extra hours in her job as a nurse. In order to save up money the babysitter that looked over Aran had to be fired and was instead replaced by Aran's father, at least until he was back in his feet. Aran noticed how bored his father looked because of the tediousness of looking over him, so he decided to change that. Knowing how much of a fan his father was of the William Shakespeare novels Aran started playing some of characters, specially Macbeth, from the books To Aran's surprise his father seemed to enjoy these little plays, which became an incentive to actually get better at it.
  
  Aran's childhood mostly consisted of him locking himself up inside his room during weekends to learn the lines of Shakespearean characters and acting in the small plays for his father during the rest of the week. As Aran began to grow up his father managed to get his old job, but due to his efficiency he was turned into the manager of the company and soon even took over it. This of course meant that he wouldn't be able to watch Aran's plays, but that didn't discourage the boy on following his newly acquired dream: Becoming an actor. Aranld pass hours reading through different scripts and later trying to recite the lines of a certain character without any mistakes.
  
  Aran's first debut occurred when he was still a teen. It was a school play about the Phantom of the Opera and he was designated to the role of Raoul de Chagny. Needless to say, he was able to put out a performance that was above average, at least for a child his age. In order to polish his skills Aran joined the school's drama club.
  
  After reaching the age of 17 the teacher in charge of the drama club advised Aran's parents to enroll Aran in a prestigious university known as Evercrest. Both of them were a bit doubtful at first since this meant Aran would have to live on his own for a long period of time, but after countless hours of Aran's pleads they ended up allowing him to assist the academy. This meant a huge step in the right direction for Aran to achieve his dream of becoming an actual actor.
