Aiden Connor

Scion of Lugh

A friendly, engaging individual with a competitive streak about as large as his pension for thrill seeking, Aiden Connor works as one of the upcoming performers in the Cirque de Soleil, his performance specializing in a mixing the disciplines of fire dancing, fire juggling, and fast-paced acrobatics. However, life for Aiden hasn't always been so charmed.

Aiden was born to a single mother in a small town in Western New York. Aiden's mother, Patricia Stevens, was an ex-Arkansas Beauty Queen turned Self-Defense Advocate and Anti-Abortion Activist for the political right. Around when Aiden turned 5, his mom enlisted him in gymnastics as a way to have her afternoons free for Christian Singles get-togethers. Aiden, enamored with the new-found sport, seemed to learn things as quickly as someone could teach him, taking to the floor as naturally as a fish taking to water.

Shortly after Aiden turned 7, Patricia married Mark Campbell, a middle-aged Buffalo beat cop. Mark and Aiden always had problems relating to one another and seeing eye to eye in any situation, a trend that would later continue through Aiden's High School years. After Patricia married, she quit her profession as a beautician to become a more devoted wife, taking care of Aiden and the general maintenance of the house. Against his step-father's wishes, calling it a sport for girls and fags, Aiden continued to take Gymnastics per his mother's final say. Mark resented the fact that Aiden always came first with Patricia, and would take it out physically on Aiden, threatening more severe violence if Aiden were to ever talk about it.

Aiden continued to do gymnastics through college where he was always among the top players in the NCAA, specializing in the Floor and Vault events. Along with doing Track and Field, in which he set unprecedented records in the Long Jump, High Jump, Pole Vault, and Javelin, Aiden was one of the most celebrated athletes at Arizona State University.
