Likes: Playing guitar until his fingers are sore, skateboarding down empty streets at night, record stores, old vinyls, band posters, road trips with no destination, movies with killer soundtracks, spontaneous adventures, people who challenge him or aren’t afraid to stand out

Dislikes: Authority figures who try to control him, pretentious people who look down on others, feeling stuck in his town with no way out, silence without music playing, losing creative spark, being underestimated or written off

Background:

Aiden grew up in a small, suffocating town where gossip spread faster than the morning announcements. His parents divorced when he was young, and his older sister stepped up to raise him, becoming both family and best friend. He works part-time at a record store, surrounded by music, and spends his free time jamming with his garage band.

Though well-liked, Aiden feels like an outsider in a world that values grades and trophies over creativity. He’s the boy who cuts class to scribble lyrics in the bleachers, the one teachers call “wasted potential.” Beneath his easygoing, confident exterior, he’s restless — itching to leave town and chase something bigger than the streets he grew up on.

Quirks & Habits:

Always has one headphone in, even during conversations

Taps rhythms with his fingers on desks, lockers, or steering wheels

Tilts his head back when laughing

Pushes his hair out of his face constantly

Keeps a shoebox under his bed filled with old ticket stubs, doodles, and letters he never sent

Carries a lighter even though he doesn’t smoke — says it’s “for the vibe” Writes lyrics on his arm or notebook margins when inspiration hits

Goal / Motivation:

To break free from the small-town cycle, live a life defined by music, and prove (to himself and everyone else) that he’s more than just a charming face in a forgotten hallway.
