Predominant feature: Depends on the observer.

General appearance:
(ignore the suit, if you will)
At first glance, there is nothing particularly striking about Aras. He is of average height—about five foot eleven—with an athletic build, and his past ear-length, somewhat messy brown hair and hazel eyes are nothing special. However, upon further observation, one may notice his faint smile and atypically confident air. Though he appears relaxed, one adept at reading body language might realize that he is constantly on his guard, and that the confident air may not always be as genuine as it first seems.
He is usually seen wearing something plain and comfortable that allows great freedom of movement. He often wears a jacket under which he can conceal a weapon, deerhorn knives being his weapons of choice. Being farsighted, he almost always has a pair of glasses perched on his nose when he is reading.

Annoying habits: Tends to ignore problems rather than confront them
General personality:
Composed and self-possessed, very little appears to perturb Aras. He gets along well with most people and generally feels comfortable in social situations. His tolerant and non-judgmental nature allows others to find it easy to talk to him. However, his laid-back personality does not mean he is a pushover; he is more than capable of defending himself if he feels threatened.
He can keep a cool head in nearly any situation and is not easily provoked into unnecessary fights. He prefers to avoid confrontation, if possible; if he has no choice, he tries to end it as quickly as he can. Aras does, however, have an impulsive side; sometimes, while reflecting on a previous action, he wonders why he ever chose to do such a thing at such a moment. He also deliberately puts off decision-making until the last minute, preferring to ignore problems rather than confront them, which can cause much needless trouble for everyone involved. Willing to admit his mistakes, he is responsible enough to take the consequences of his actions. He dislikes putting blame on others unless they are undoubtedly guilty.
Aras is not a particularly empathetic individual. Subtle emotions often escape his notice. He’s not exactly one for comforting words and gestures, either, and is more of a listener than a talker. He can come off as a bit distant and reserved; while he enjoys company, he rarely actively seeks it.
He prefers to keep his opinions, especially those on controversial topics, to himself, and he tries to keep an open mind. Though he may not agree with all aspects of a certain course of action, he will often just go along with it to spare himself and others the trouble that would arise if he objected. He’s generally a follower and not a leader, allowing those he believes more capable to take positions of leadership.
