Character
Physical & Mental
Appearance
Aero stands at 5 fulms & 8 ilms and weighs around 145 ponz. He has a very toned build despite being mostly a mage. He has a very pale complexion and sports light blonde hair with black highlights that are natural. He takes great pride in his hair especially, and changes it often. He almost always smells of expensive and nice fragrances.
He has violet eyes, and a scar on his left cheek. Also, has a pair of black star tattoos right above his cheek. Aero is most often seen wearing white or black clothing of fine quality, though it's not uncommon for him to wear dark blues and purples. He also seems fond of rosegold and mythril jewelry. He takes good care to make sure his nails are cut short and clean as well.
Personality
Aero is generally mostly polite and independent, preferring to do things alone. He is mostly reserved and displays a somewhat cold demeanor. Although, it's seen he does long for companionship from time to time. Despite his good looks, he is rather innocent when it comes to more intimate matters. Blushing somewhat easily whenever complimented, or even at the slightest touch. Aero has a habit of falling for people much too quickly, and much too easily. He, however, can be quite stubborn and a bit self-centered at times. Aero also has proven himself to be somewhat vain, prideful, and arrogant at times. However, he generally does care much for his friends. Sometimes he's quite flirty and frivolous.
Despite his quiet demeanor, he is a most difficult man. He does not often reveal much of his past, nor himself easily. Often using excuses like "It's complicated.", and "It's a long story." in hopes to dissuade others. He is often misunderstood which in turn, often places him out of favor with most for his eccentric ways of thinking. While not usually intentionally malicious, he values his personal freedom above all else and may harm an innocent if necessary to obtain his goals.
On the other hand, Aero can be rather temperamental and unforgiving to those who disappoint him. He also believes feelings like love are a weakness and can be easily exploited. Though, he can't help but become fascinated by the idea. Aerostein generally has an apathetic view when it comes to violence. He, however, won't hesitate to threaten those who stand in his way and those close to him. He usually only kills out of necessity, and only if there isn't any other way.
Sexuality
While Aero finds women to be very beautiful, he is not sexually attracted to them. He has always preferred the look and feel of men. He is most comfortable around other Hyurs and Elezen. Aerostein is rather unsure what to make of male Miqo'te in particular, believing most of them to be whores. Likey stems from his mother's demise. Though, he finds a select few to be attractive. He doesn't find the other races physically pleasing to his eye, but finds Roes and Lalas are "A bit too much.", and "Adorable." respectively.
Thoughts on Use of Magic
Aerostein believes magic should be used however the user should see fit, with little to no limitations. Having come from a line of magic users on both sides of his family, he respects all that practice the arts and pities the ones who can't. He also believes it is a tool that should be used to serve man, and that it's their right to do what ever they wish with it. In his mind, no magic in particular is "Evil" and only fools believe so. Unfortunately, his liberal ideas on the ways of magic is what got him dispelled from the Conjurer's guild.
Fighting Style
Having a natural gift for magic, Aerostein prefers using conjury and some forms of advanced white magic to deal with his foes. At times,he has shown himself capable of casting some thaumaturgy and minor to intermediate black magic. He has trained in the ways of a Marauder as well, furthering enhancing his endurance. However, he lacks physical strength, which keeps him from being truly great with the ways of the axe. He miraculously has a heightened sense of self preservation from being on his own for so long also.
Recently however, with the acquisition of his father's grimoire Aero's skill in the dark arts has improved considerably. Although, to what extent is currently unknown.

Who Aero loves and who Aero hates...
Family
- Imogen Stone (Mother) : Imogen was a respected conjurer of Hyur origin who died a few years after Aero born. Aerostein was raised by the conjurers in Gridania where he perfected his talent in conjury. Aero remembers very little about his mother, other than she was the most beautiful woman in the world to him and that she smelled much like flowers, iris in particular. However, the little he does remember, he holds dear. According to the conjurers, he resembles much of his mother in appearance. It was later revealed she left leads before her untimely death to help Aerostein track down his father.
- Jacques Delvaux (Father) : Originally, not much was known of Aero's father. This man was never in Aero's life, and his mother never spoke of him. It is later learned by Aero, his father is an escaped Elezen Ishgardian of noble blood, as well as a powerful black mage. Leaving Ishgard for not agreeing with it's customs, and wanting freedom. He left Aero's mother in order to protect her from the people hunting him. It is also revealed he would settle in Ul'Dah, after changing his identity. Unfortunately, due to events involving the dark arts he would be exiled. Aero has yet to find this man, but is certain he is still alive. It would seem as if Aero leans much more closely to his father in terms of personality.
