Key Relationships

• Aani Aston-D'Noires Arius adores his mother, blind to any of her abuse and instead just soaking in all of her praise and letting it convince him that he is truly a perfect son. He will strive to keep this up for Aani; doing anything she says and following any order, devoting himself in almost unhealthy ways.

Basics

Arius is spoilt, intitled and dangerous. His youth has taught him to listen to his mother Aani and see her above everyone else, but also soak in her praises and consider himself better than others. He will happily fight someone else into submission, which during his childhood is satiated by constant fighting with his sister Dierdra. He fights to let out his frustrations and prove himself better. As a puppy this is easily dealt with, but as he grows there is no telling who Ari will aim his ire at.

But the boy is not completely impulsive. Although Ari fully believes he can do anything that his mother allows and can do no wrong, he also understands that there are certain things around him that he cannot fight or break to his will. Community and hierarchy are things Arius will follow for as long as he sees a benefit to them.

Arius suffers easily from frustration and irritation when not around others. His youth spent in the shadow of his mother or anyone else who would spend time with him has brought on a desire for constant attention, good or bad. When alone, Arius struggles to think for himself, and his anger builds up until he's finally given what he wants. Arius does hate the fact that he needs company to function, and sometimes that shame and frustration and leak into lashing out at those around him, despite not wanting them to leave him. when he doesn't lash out, Arius tries his hardest to act aloof to avoid coming across as needy, and yet at the same time will do anything in his power to keep others nearby.

Weaknesses

• Impulsive: Arius is easily annoyed and pushed to act. He can act patient to an extent, but if someone knows what buttons to push, then the boy is a hair-trigger away from lashing out.
• Dependant: Although Arius doesn't act needy or desperate, he craves attention so much that he struggles to do anything when on his own.
