Personality

General Personality: Aaron is a man of knowledge but that doesn't get in the way of his spirituality, he finds equal balance between the two worlds. He is incredibly intelligent and skipped 2 years in school. He is a passionate man who often goes into rambles on particular subjects. HE is also well versed in the art of the piano. He likes to collect things ranging from artifacts to vintage Elvis records. 

Good Traits: Very patient and smart, thinks things through well

Bad Traits: Because he thinks things through he's not very quick to action. Also he becomes paranoid when Dimitri is involved

Likes: Pianos, history, mythology, old records, Star Trek, books, downtime, traveling

Dislikes: Alcohol, jealousy, discrimination, not being given a chance

Fears:  Her fears loosing his daughter like he did his wife. He didn't want her to have powers as that means she has witnessed death and he never wanted her to go through that, He fears for her safety especially when she goes on missions with the team where he can't protect her.

Relationships: Closest to Black Canary in the JL. When he decided to become Shadow Hunter he actually asked her for pointers for fighting (she was not Black Canary yet though but she still knew how to fight). Gets along surprisingly well with Batman and Martian Manhunter. Highly respects Wonder Woman.

Family: Aaron lives with his only daughter Dimitri. The two are close and he supports her in whatever she aims to do. He can sometimes be a bit stern with her because he worries about her safety. He also considers the Lance family to be family through the relationship established by his wife Gia. Even though Gia is no longer around the families still get together for Sunday dinners.

Wife: Aaron met his wife Gia when they were both very young. Their families were neighbors so they used to walk to school together, him being a year older. He loved the free spirit Gia was and she admired his passion. She would often defend him from bullies who would call Aaron names as he was the more passive one at the time. When he was 14 and she 13 he asked her out and they were together ever since. When she went away to study abroad when she was 16 he missed her so much that when she came back he gave her a promise ring that they would marry after they were done with schooling. Though before they were to marry Gia became pregnant with Dimitri so they waited util after she was born to be married. 

Battle

Power(s): His owers were a gift from Hades that he bestowed onto his family during ancient Greek times as they were the high priests and priestesses of the Cult of Hades. The powers lay dormant in his spirit until the age of 15 when they were awoken by witnessing the death of his brother during a hiking accident.

POWER/ABILITIES:

Flight

Invisibility

Intangibility

Force Fields

Possession

Spirit Energy

Spirit Projection (his spirit can leave his body)

Her powers have the side effect of making him emotionally numb which is why he has a gemstone which works to balance his powers and emotions, not having them take over his being.

Weapon(s): Bare hands/Energy Blasts, decent at hand to hand combat

Style: Evasive and long range

Strengths: Good defense and stealth

Weaknesses: Anything that can harm a ghost, examples being…

Salt

Iron

Magic

Cannot use powers on Holy grounds

Spirit projection leaves his body unprotected, if his body is killed during he can’t return to it.

Background:

Aaron, is a hard worker and lover of knowledge, particularly history. He was fairly young when he got a job at a museum in San Francisco, moving him and his family from Greece to the states. He was determined to move up the latter in the museum and often stayed long nights working alone in the quiet home of history. He was particularly interested n the history of Greek mythology since his line of ancestor traces back to the time of the Gods n their prime, his family being high priests and priestesses of the Cult of Hades. They were so in tune with the spirits and life beyond the living that Hades bestowed the gift of the Spirits to the family, taking up the last name Spiros meaning spirit in Greek. These powers enabled the user with paranormal powers making them the bridge between life and death. Though these powers cause an imbalance to the user so each member is given a clear gemstone that helps to keep the balance within. The gemstone is originally clear but takes one the color of the user’s spirit which varies in color. The powers have been passed down to every Spiros and they were able to use the powers naturally. But over generations the spiritual connection has been strained and the powers of the spirit began to lie dormant within the family, soon only to be awakened when their spirit witnesses death.

Aaron has these powers after he witnessed his brother taking a nasty fall during a hiking accident. His father, not having powers of his own but being that his father did thus learning from him, taught Aaron how to use them. He also visited the cave which the old Cult of Hades did their practices and mediated, unlocking further secrets and methods that his father could not teach him. Though knowing how to use his powers he decided to live a normal life with his wife and child.

This was until one late night at the museum after a new shipment of artifacts came in. He was going over them when the museum was broken into by people dressed in black to which Aaron would describe as looking like shadow men. They wanted to steal the artifacts since they could be used in some dark ritual but Aaron fended them off with his powers. Similar things began happening at the museum whenever they got new artifacts and he became the defender of the museum and soon after began expanding into becoming and actual hero dubbed Shadow Hunter and then later joining the Justice League.

The old director of the museum was retiring and took notice over the years of how much passion and hard work Aaron put into the place and his work and passed down his job to Aaron, who was very grateful. Not everyone at the museum was happy about this though. A coworker of Aaron who was older and had been there longer was angered because he thought the job should have gone to him and not some “young immigrant who came here to steal my job.” This man was also known to have a drinking problem and a few nights after the promotion drunkenly found his way to the Spiros’s apartment, gun in hand. The family had just came back from shopping, Aaron telling Gia and Dimitri to head up to the apartment fist while he’ll take care of getting the heavy packages. So up they went to their floor and the drunk coworker was waiting for them and shot Gia and they approached the door, killing her on the spot. Sensing the death of his wife and fearing for his daughter Aaron dropped the packages and phased through the building in time to save Dimitri who sat next to her mother crying.

By witnessing her mother’s death Dimitri’s powers were awakened, turning the once clear gem on her necklace pink. Aaron had hoped that she wouldn’t have awoken her powers as early as she did but since they were now a part of her Aaron began training her how to control and use them with Dimitri eventually asking to be his protégé like the other protégés she’s heard of, wanting to protect other families from the dangers that could rift them apart. Reluctantly he agreed and she became Nightlight.

WARBOUND-President In reply to xDarkHikarix [2016-03-09 03:17:44 +0000 UTC]

That's interesting. I only asked because it seems to me that your style is based off of Phil bourassa's just like mine used to be. Except I got better with digital art and created my own style. This cape was something I drew up for many characters of mine and redesigns and after seeing your image I lined it up with a few of mine and it seems to be an exact trace just fit to your OC. And if you look at the way you drew it, the bottom half aka the traces half doesn't even match up with the way you drew the top half on the right side. If you use pieces of art, whether you trace it, or manipulate it, you should always ask permission and at least give credit to him/her.

xDarkHikarix In reply to WARBOUND-President [2016-03-09 03:53:53 +0000 UTC]

I'm sorry if you think this was traced over your work but it really wasn't. The basic shape of the cape comes from another oc of mine who also has the pointed cape since the duo both play around with the diamond shapes in their outfits so I incorporated that into the cape. And to be honest I've never seen your work or anything before until tonight. I also took the liberty of taking a look of them overlapping and they don't match up like you said they do, they share the basic physics of capes but that's just from me learning how to draw capes. And about the top right part I don't see what that has to do with anything? Sure it's not perfect but I'm not sure what you're referring as being a copy of something you've done. I did credit using Aquaman as a base and I always credit poses and bases I get from elsewhere. I get that you're suspicious and stuff but the honest truth was that I did not trace any of your work or even see your work prior to any of this. The cape shape is just coincidence.

I'm not gonna butt in here but I do want to say this guy sounds really arrogant to assume such things. It sounds like he's looking for trouble. We know you credit stuff so if he insists, give him that screencap you did lining things up. If he carries on even after, block him because he's clearly looking for an argument then.

Hey! Your work is more than fantastic! I’m dropping this comment in the hope that you might be interested in either working on a one of two projects related to the CW’s Arrow/Flash I’m doing: “Project Green Lantern” and/or “Project Crisis” and/or “Project Prey” or if you’d be willing to do fan-art for my website/Facebook page, “The Arrowverse” which has a growing audience of 56,000 fans. If you would be interested and willing, shoot me an email at “ thearrowverse@gmail.com”.

Thanks! -Arrowverse

NightTide is honestly a huge softy. He's more street smart than book smart so he'd probably tease the heck out of Aaron about his knowledge but also be secretly jealous like "why didn't I know that"
