Past

Aden's life prior to the Warehouse wasn't very interesting. Two years prior to the Warehouse, he and a close friend, Juan Miguel, discovered and activated the Skaian Chess Set. Succeeding in defeating its challenge, Aden recieved the ability to redistribute Space at will. The pair, recognizing the danger of the artifact and their own powers, removed a queen from the board, rendering the artifact largely inert.

One year after this event, Aden attended a fan convention, where he unknowingly purchased the Poké Ball, which would not activate for several months. The artifact la responded to a bout of frustration and unleashed an attack later identified as "Spacial Rend" and cleaved a tree in two. It was soon collected with no major resistance from Aden by the Warehouse and he was promptly hired by Mrs. Frederic.

Life at the Warehouse

First Case

Agent Taylor's first case as a Warehouse Agent was the acquisition of the Azure Flute, twin to the Poke Ball. A gang had discovered its powers to manipulate various forms of energy and matter and were using it terrorize a small town. Through clever use of the Poke Ball, Agent Taylor used the teleporting "Shadow Force" and Hypnosis to wrest the flute from the gang leader.

Azletar Incident

Agent Taylor's primary focus in the Warehouse is on artifacts related to fan communities, such as the aforementioned Poke Ball and Azure Flute. Noting the Ball's energy drain in certain areas of the section, he discovered and unsealed an unlabled large clay pot containing the homunculus, due to his lack of training regarding such artifacts, exposing Azletar to the Warehouse at large.

After much studying, the creature was given the position as a protector of the Warehouse, and Agent Taylor's training in proper protocol was accelerated.

Personality

Aden is an introvert most of the time, but once you get him to trust you, he can be as emotional as the sea. He's also a smart- alec, willing to use sarcasm to get under skin. When pressed, Aden can and will use his abilities to mess up one's day.

Aden can be cocky at times, and can sometimes get very annoyed or angry quickly, especially when someone is being stupid.

Skills and Abilities

Mundane Skills

• Crossbow Proficiency - To vent stress, Aden visits a local shooting range with his crossbow.
  • This skill can translate into a decent marksmanship with a Tesla.
• Twin Dagger proficency - Aden uses a pair of twinned daggers as a focus for his abilities.

Abilities

As a Risen One, Aden has a number of esoteric abilities.

• Flight - Aden can fly under his own power at will. Whether this is an effect granted via his spaciokinetic powers or a generic Risen One ability (though evidence points towards the latter) is unconfirmed.
• Conditional/Ressurective Immortality - Another of his default abilities as a Risen One, Aden has the power to simply get back up if he dies. However, if such a death is the result of a Just or Heroic Death, Aden will not revive, instead being truly dead.

Spaciokinesis

Aden Taylor's Risen One "Rogue of Space" powers are defined as "passive relocation of physical space", meaning that while he can manipulate space, mass, matter, and physical location, he can only truly accomplish such feats when doing it for the benefit of his team.

• This power is restricted greatly while in the Warehouse due to the heavy concentration of Neutralizer within the Warehouse and the immediate surrounding area.
• Wormholes: Aden can "bridge" the distance between two points using something akin to an Einstien-Rosen wormhole/bridge. Physically, the wormholes manifest with a Stargate-like malachite-colored "puddle" event horizon.
• Teleportation: Aden can teleport to other locations, so long as he is travelling with someone.

Relationships

• Felix Draco - Friendly rivalry. Often calls Felix Kitten boy. Due to his conditional/ressurective immortality, Aden occasionally helps Felix with more dangerous tests.
• Juan Miguel - Best friend/Co-Sburb player. Aden and Juan trust each other immensely
• Mary Melinoe - Dated briefly before finding that they didn't quite click. Parted amicably.
• Soul Blake - boyfriend.
• HARP agents - Aden is on fairly decent terms with the members of HARP
• Old Bone - Is good friends with the Zombie, but is also the unfortunate soul who needs to burn his grass skirt collection monthly.
• Mehen - an Eternal Serpent living deep under Egypt, Aden pops down (literally) to visit the serpent and talk, oftentimes bringing food.
