Like with many Scions, Aaron was abandoned by his divine parent before he was born. Unfortunately a few months after giving birth, Sera Windsor died and Aaron became an orphan. |
− | :Aaron was soon adopted by Vivian and Kiran Mercia. The couple had no luck conceiving a child of their own and decided to adopt one instead. | + | :Aaron was soon adopted by Vivian and Kiran Mercia. The couple had no luck conceiving a child of their own and decided to adopt one instead. Aaron was raised by the Mercias, who made no secret of his mortal parentage. While he knows the Mercias are not his parents by blood, Aaron loves them nonetheless. |
− | :Aaron | + | :Aaron believes that the World, while cruel at times, is always fair. To Aaron, everyone always receives what they deserve, whether it is repayment for past kindness or punishment for wrongs one has wrought. This has only been reinforced by the karmic balance that seems to follow Aaron wherever he goes, granting luck to the virtuous and misfortune to those who had not paid for their crimes. |
− | : | + | :Aaron is stubborn, passionate, and eternally optimistic. He is someone who knows that tragedies can happen and that the world can be cruel and despite that seeks to make the world a better place. When he does something, he puts the whole of his being to doing it and almost impossible to sway from his path. This can put him at odds with those that disagree with him, or who thinks he's naive for having any faith in humanity, but it has also managed to inspire others to be better, to move on despite the tragedies. |
− | :Aaron | + | :Aaron is a judge, one of the youngest to take on such a position. He's made no shortage of friends and allies during his time as a judge and before that when he worked on his law degree. Aaron is known as an especially impartial judge, one who can't be bribed and would give fair judgments. Any case that enters his court will always find the truth. |
− | : | + | :He's also known to be a bit of a workaholic, filling up his schedules with cases and community service whenever he can. Because of this, his colleagues and family have temporarily exiled him from his place of work and sent him off to see the world for a few months. |

− | '''A Saint | + | '''A Saint Blessed By Karma''' (Primary): Since Aaron was young, he always tried to be a good person and so what's right. Fate saw fit to repay him in kind. For each good deed, luck would aid Aaron in his goals. Conversely, in the rare instance that something he does harms others, intentionally or unintentionally, misfortune would befall upon Aaron. This has a habit of rubbing off on people near him, blessing and cursing others based on their conduct. Aaron grew up as a passionate and optimistic person with an unwavering propensity to do what's right, and such traits often attract others to follow his example and do what he asks of them. |

He is known for being impartial and just, unswayed by bribery or threats. Aaron has a reputation among both law enforcers and the general populace as someone who always judges correctly, as any case brought before him inevitably uncovers the unvarnished truth. Aaron has much experience laying down the law, and with spotting and rooting out corruption among his 'peers' and other law enforcers, as such people are hardly conducive to true justice. Aaron is a known workaholic, taking on as many cases as his schedule can fit, such that his colleagues had to force him to take a vacation. |

Aaron's birth mother, Sera Windsor, died a few months after his birth, and he was adopted by the Mercias instead. Aaron has long since made peace with the death of his mother and has accepted the Mercias as his parents, though he is unable to simply forget that Anpu wasn't there when his wife and child needed him. Neither he nor Anpu can be said to hate each other, and both do wish to reconcile, but it's slowed by Aaron's bad memories with his Divine Parent. |

− | :''' | + | :'''Miracle''': Once per session, a Saint may perform a Twist of Fate that’s not tied to their Path. This can be anything from healing the sick masses to bringing a newly-dead person back to life from being mostly-dead. This may border on the supernatural, though it’s rarely anything explicit; the dead man’s heart starts beating again, while the sufferers of plague feel their coughs recede over the course of a scene. |
− | : | + | :'''Somebody's Watching Me''': A Scion’s Godly parent has eyes and ears everywhere, and even if they don’t Visit their child, they’re often ready to lend a hand to aid their child in need. During a scene where the Scion would be in danger, their parent sends in reinforcements, usually resulting in either two Mooks or one Professional to fight on their side. These allies leave at the end of the scene, however. |
:'''The Truth Arises''': When you engage in conversation (or other such interaction) with an alleged perpetrator of a crime, make a Knack Skill roll. On a success, if the target is guilty, he will leak a piece of information that connects him to his crime. Before expending effort on using this Knack, let the Storyguide know, and she should tell you if the target does not have any valuable information to leak — which in itself can be helpful in an investigation. | :'''The Truth Arises''': When you engage in conversation (or other such interaction) with an alleged perpetrator of a crime, make a Knack Skill roll.
