Aaron Fairway

Background/Bio

“Swords!”

What he lacks in worldly knowledge and critical thinking skills, Aaron makes up for with a high competence at dual-wielding swords, and a great passion for hitting things with these swords. He doesn't care too much for what the job is, so long as he can hit things with swords. Swords.

Ever since discovering the existence of numbers higher than two, Aaron has dreamt many a dream of wielding more than two swords at once. He isn't quite sure how to do this yet, but those he has travelled with on his adventures have provided a variety of interesting suggestions. Perhaps one day he shall investigate this further…

Having taken a break from his initial foray into adventuring, Aaron has found some purpose with the Church of the Warrior. They have the best swords. Although apparently the Warrior herself didn't have swords? Eh. Swords.

Aaron does not understand why anyone would trust a Tyrant Lizard.
