## Ooc

Aiden is a mod on the server who joined very early on and has been around for many months. He doesn't talk that much but still has a lot of friends on the server, too many to list here.

## Backstory:

### Early life:

For most of his early life, Aiden didn’t know his parents and grew up in an orphanage. There he was given the last name Stardew. Yet many of the other kids bullied him because he was the weakest looking kid, and because of his new name. One night when he was 14 he escaped and ran away from the orphanage, arriving in a port town nearby. There he managed to sneak onto a ship, but he got caught by the crew. They didn’t throw him overboard, rather allowing him to stay as long as he helped out on the ship. From there he did more and more odd jobs on various ships over the next few years. But when he was 16, the ship he was on got caught in a terrible storm and he got thrown overboard because of the waves, being left behind by the rest of the crew.

But something reached out to him, something much larger and stronger than anything he had ever encountered before. This thing offered to save his life in exchange for his service. Aiden made this deal mostly subconsciously. Because at that moment, he wanted to survive more than anything. So he accepted, waking up on a beach with strange alterations to his body. And he suddenly couldn’t touch water without it hurting him terribly. Yet he felt more powerful, gaining some new tricks. Like how he could now summon a sword, one he had never held before. This curved scimitar-like blade that is adorned with barnacles and bits of seaweed, and constantly dripping with salt water. As well as having a single, glowing yellow eye in the center of the crossguard, resembling an eye of ender. He can sometimes change the shape of this weapon, changing it’s form to a different shaped blade or a different weapon entirely, like an axe for example.

### Adulthood:

Despite now being mutated to never be able to touch water anymore, Aiden continued on his path as a sailor and a few years later became a captain of his own ship. Meeting a lot of people along the way. Mainly 2 people he is still friends with to this day. Raptor and Danuge. He met Dan when he was in town one day, looking for a crew for his ship and came across Dan who wanted to go with him. From there the two became quick friends and sailed together many times. Meanwhile he met Raptor in a different way, while he was out at sea one evening, he found Raptors unconscious body and helped him aboard, he was heavily wounded from an ambush he had just sustained so Aiden helped him in healing his wounds while he was still unconscious. When Raptor woke up, he was initially shocked to find so many people around him and tried to flee. But Aiden assured him no one there was going to harm him, and they had even helped him after he was attacked. So the two became friends, Raptor often helping on Aiden’s various journeys. Even one day saving his life, when the ship Aiden was on almost got capsized and he was flung overboard. But before the water could kill him, Raptor was able to bring him back on board. But Dan and Raptor soon left to go on their own journeys.

Though he wasn’t quite alone, because one day when he was out walking on a beach, he spotted someone lying unconscious in ragged clothes and brought him on board. The seemingly enderian man woke up yet couldn’t speak or understand a word of english, But through the use of some magic and a lot of time, Aiden was able to teach him english While the enderian also taught him some enderian. They even came up with a name together, Raven. The two soon fell more and more in love and Raven found himself accompanying Aiden almost all the time on his journeys out to sea.

### “The Watcher”:

A little more about this entity Aiden had encountered and saved his life. Not long after he made it back to shore alive, Aiden began having dreams and visions where this entity appeared and spoke to him, naming itself: “The Watcher”. This Watcher told Aiden about a lot of things, and slowly started corrupting his mind more and more. Aiden received many tasks from his patron, From small tasks like visiting the blobbin keep island and gathering some people he wanted to bring to that island, but stayed behind. To some bigger tasks, taking out obstacles, people that were against the Watcher or people that were interfering with its plan, though Aiden himself never learned this plan. Slowly over time he began to be more corrupted by the Watcher, becoming more arrogant and prideful than he was before. Still, he manages to keep his wits about him and has, through careful planning and help from the Watcher been able to keep quite a few secrets, to friends and enemies alike.
