Aiden was built to resemble Humans as much as, well, humanly possible. In both height and weight he's fairly close to what you'd expect, with blonde hair and a youthful, albeit serious, set of facial expressions. Other than that, the differences are rather striking and apparent from head to toe. The 'sclera' of his ocular implants are black as night, illuminated only by the sharp yellow color of his iris' - which jitter and move unlike any natural human.

Beneath the clothes and faux skin is an elaborate marvel of technology, an android built by the greatest minds for the benefit of mankind. The various black, metallic parts that he's built from are entirely custom and swappable. This allows him the benefit of equipping himself with less firepower in order to appear more 'human'; or to limit him, if the need arises.


Unlike most people, Aiden doesn't have a personality that's necessarily written in stone. Instead, it's a personality that's written in code. As an android, Aiden has a set of triggers and sequences that he applies to the world around him in order to appear more personable to the people around him. Since he was built to benefit mankind, he most often comes across as a very selfless person even if his emotional tact is lacking; and he tries his best to be relatively friendly through the use of applied psychology and other sciences.

He does this through routines, searching databases and various sources in order to act appropriately in any given situation. This is part of the core of his personality matrix, and the first letter of his name: Autonomous. He's an android that's capable of making his own decisions based on his own conclusions, completely independent from an external control center. While he can certainly be influenced by outside tampering as any machine can, he has a unique perspective on things through a computational view of the world around him; built with the specific purpose of being as independent as any human would be.. within reason.

Autonomous Integrated Defense Examplar Network: Aiden.

The project wasn't a simple one. In the wake of the Starbound Institutes booming success at gathering Gifted of all kinds with the intention of traveling to space, a few people questioned the technology that would take them there. Could they be sustained? Were such reckless people capable of handling themselves in that extreme of an environment? Their questions pushed them into the direction of Project A.I.D.E.N, an attempt to create sentient artificial intelligence that could act independently to help facilitate and protect human life in such a situation.

The first few attempts failed, with their personality matrix's all failing when they attempted to upload any substantial amount of information. Other's went rampant and refused to take orders, and it was looking like the project would be scrapped in the face of all this adversity. One man proposed an interesting idea- to create a sort of process similar to a neural network. The android would learn as a human would, only at an incredibly accelerated rate. This proved to be the key to the projects success, where Aiden was able to be taught an incredible amount of things in the two years since his inception before arriving at the Institute.
