*lookscankill!
appearance: Aerik stands right at six foot three. He has a muscular well defined build. His hair is dark brown almost black and his eyes are dark expressive pools that rarely hide his true feelings. His skin is usually tanned but that's mostly because of the time he spends on the beach during the summer time. It does lighten during the fall and winter months unless he makes a trip to the coast in the south. He keeps his skin closely shaven during the work week and only lets his rough, stubbly side come out when he's on vacation or has some time off.

general personality: Aerik, like many people, can be said to have a dual personality. While at work, he is no-nonsense and serious. He walks the line so to speak. He is dedicated to his job and takes it very seriously. While he is at home or otherwise not on duty, Aerik is laid back and tends to be quiet until he gets to know a person or group of people. While he is kind and often volunteers for charity events, he also struggles to maintain a sense of balance in his life. He tends to be more of a neat freak than a slob at home and even goes so far as to iron his underclothes prior to putting them on. He sometimes takes unnecessary risks.

history: Aerik was the youngest in a family of five. He was a bit of a surprise to his parents who were in their early 40s when he was born. His father was a detective with the Los Angeles Police Department and had been working vice for several months when a life changing event for Aerik occurred. The quiet young boy had watched his father begin a downward spiral that would eventually lead to his father's death. In the dark of the night in the still house, Aerik crept into the back room where his father was shooting heroin. It helped dull the pain of what he was doing and relieved him for a few moments of bliss of the horrors he'd seen. Aerik watched wide eyed from the darkness as his father tapped the vein and then slowly injected the drug.[/size][/font]
The house was dark that night and Aerik knew well enough at eight years old not to interrupt his father while he was in the back room. On this particular night, nothing could have prepared the boy for what he was about to witness. The loud knocking on the back door startled him but he managed to remain hidden as his father opened the door letting in two men that Aerik did not know. They were dressed in black and their faces were concealed. He could only make out that the men were very angry and his father, now high on heroin, was trying desperately to diffuse the situation. One of the men hit his father, knocking him to the floor, then they were both on top of him dragging him to his feet and then forcing him into a chair where he was quickly secured.
Aerik felt his heart race. He didn't know what to do, should he run, should he stay hidden, or should he interfere. Before he could think much more about the situation, he bolted out of his hiding place hitting one of the men in the only weak spot he knew at the time. The man dropped to his knees but he was consumed with fury at what the boy had done. The other man grabbed Aerik by the hair of his head and slammed him face down across the table. Aerik was sure that they said something to him, but to this day he can't remember what exactly was said ... all he can remember is the look on his father's face as they injected more heroin into his system.
After making him watch his father die, the two men turned their attention to the boy. At that point everything went black and the next memory Aerik had was when he awoke the following morning in a hospital bed to the news that he was now the man of the family. His father disgraced by a death that was ruled a heroin overdose by an addict cop, Aerik tried to tell them what he'd seen, but so much of it was blocked from his memory that even his recount of what happened was suspect. It seemed everyone thought that it was his father jacked up on heroin that had given Aerik the beating that put him in the hospital.
Years passed as Aerik struggled to come to terms with what he'd seen. He learned to stop talking about what had happened but vowed that someday if he had the chance, he'd avenge his father's death. His focus on doing just that led him to the Police Academy and he followed in his father's footsteps by earning a badge with the Los Angeles Police Department.
He's been patient as he's worked his way up the ranks to Detective. The time with the department has not been wasted time. Aerik has familiarized himself with the policies and procedures of crime scene investigation and he's also watched the procedures around evidence handling. When he finally has the chance to carry out his vengeance, he wants it to be neat and clean.
The last few months on the job have been hectic to say the least. His love life had been declared clinically dead although, he did manage to land a few dates with a great girl and he thought that maybe she was the one that he'd end up taking home to meet his mom. She was beautiful and graceful and the two seemed to fit together rather well, but then she got a dance job on Madonna's new road tour. He hadn't seen her since she left for the tour, but hopes to fly to see the show when the tour returns to the states.
In the meantime, he's fallen into bed with the insatiable, Belle Whitney-Prescott. He has no idea that the woman he's slept with is married. Nor does he have any idea some of the shady business dealings she is indirectly involved in. But even if he knew, it's not likely he would pull away. He's known for quite sometime that he's going to have to get down in the dirt to find the man responsible for murdering his father.
