Painting the Portrait:

Appearance: Both Thomas and Aiden share the same tall, lanky form and light brown hair, which they wear a bit long. It tends to curl at the ends, giving it a rather fluffy, whimsical appearance. Both share the same once-broken nose and the stubborn chin, and the same infectious grin – a little lopsided, as one corner always quirks up higher than the other. They share the same hands, long-fingered and just a bit too big, and the same ridiculously long, dark eyelashes – but not the same eyes. Thomas’ eyes are a striking green; Aiden’s are dark blue. Fortunately they share a similar taste in clothing; they’re almost exclusively dressed in jeans, sneakers, and a long-sleeved shirt, usually with a navy-blue hoodie. Though they both hate hats, they like to wear the hood up. They share another odd quirk – neither likes to wear matching socks.

Personality:

Thomas. Thomas is fairly quiet, nervous, shy of strangers. Most would call him paranoid – he’d say it’s the result of living with Aiden. He will stand his ground and he won’t allow people to push him around, but he prefers to simply avoid notice in the first place and does his best to remain inconspicuous. He does have a quirky sense of humour, and loves a good laugh, as long as it doesn’t draw attention to himself. He’s the sensible one and often feels like the responsible older brother in the body. Some of his extreme caution, as he will admit, is habitual overcompensation for Aiden’s lack of tact.

Aiden. Aiden is outgoing, generally charming, likes to joke around, and loves being the centre of attention – which drives Thomas nuts, naturally. He enjoys the adrenaline rush from tense situations and close calls, and loves to get Thomas riled up. He seldom worries about being found out – Thomas worries enough for both of them – but he is, despite his careless nature, usually careful to attract attention only to himself and to keep Thomas hidden. He’s capable of being seriously annoying when it’ll get him what he wants, especially when Thomas is the one he’s annoying, and he’s always on the lookout for chances to snatch control of the body. He’s also better at handling difficult situations, and it’s become habit for both of them to put Aiden in control when there’s a chance of any sort of conflict or danger. Thomas is just a bit stronger, so it’s difficult for Aiden to forcefully wrench control away from him, but Aiden is more devious and finds ways to manipulate Thomas into giving him control. Once in control, it’s usually not too difficult to keep Thomas suppressed for a while.


History:

The first memory either of the two have is foster care. Nothing can be recalled before that - some five years or so - and any attempts to tend to bring about a pretty good headache. Back then, Thomas and Aiden would switch control much more frequently, as they hadn't quite figured out how to work anything. They were moved around quite a lot because of that. The boy was strange to everyone on the outside, and just strange enough to send back into the system after a week or so. They never really minded; the other kids were always wary of them, and even when Thomas would start getting shaken up by being shuffled around so much, Aiden always managed to keep him slightly positive.

The pattern continued for years; staying in one foster home for a week or two and then spending a little while in an orphanage until the next family came along insisting that they could handle a kid who was 'a little strange'. It was only when they were around 16 (it was estimated, as Thomas had simply chosen a birthday on whim) that the pattern changed. A man came to their current house and requested a meeting. Considering a few foster parents had already had muttered conversations about looking into a psychiatrist, Thomas was the one who handled things and made a pointed effort to seem as normal as possible. The entire thing went fairly quickly, but he asked lots of questions, many of which made absolutely no sense in context. The man claimed he was a scout from a school, and was considering Thomas for admission.

The best way we’ve come up with to explain Thomas and Aiden is that they’re Siamese twins conjoined at the … everything. They’re two completely separate people sharing one body. Only one of them can be in control of the body at a time, though whichever is along for the ride at any given time can still experience all the usual senses. They can talk to each other, but whoever is in control of the body has to speak out loud for the other to hear. They’ve never quite figured out their relationship, but as near as they can sort out they’re something along the lines of brothers. They’re also not particularly certain where they got their names or why, or where they came from or why. They’ve been this way as long as they can remember, but like most people their memories don’t extend much earlier than four or five years old. They don’t remember ever having a family, but they’ve done pretty well drifting around.


Family: None that he knows of. There were a lot of foster siblings, but none that really stick out.
