Personality

Aron Johnson is an animated, energetic and impulsive individual. He is both easygoing and easily distracted. Despite the rough circumstances of his upbringing, the not-so-upstanding young man has managed to maintain a surprisingly optimistic outlook on life. And Aron seems determined to not waste a single moment of his newfound freedom.

Aron is still very much a work in progress, he definitely has no shortage of bad habits. Concepts such as personal possession are a little foreign to him. After all, he pretty much grew up on the streets and for the longest time his only influence was a supervillain.

At times Aron does seem conflicted, but considering his rather sudden and drastic transition from aiding a villain to becoming a hero it only makes sense. The humor and happy-go-lucky attitude are also no doubt in part a facade or coping mechanism, a way to deal with all the guilt that he feels over his past crimes. Despite knowing he did not truly have any say in the matter, he still shoulders some of the blame. It is obvious that there is a decent guy beneath all of it who genuinely wants to make up for his involvement in his former master's many terrible crimes.

Abilities

• Air Manipulation - Most types of jinn possess mastery over an element. For Aron his powers are akin to that of the air jinn, granting him the ability to manipulate air and create or control wind in all of its forms.
  
  

• Flight - With the power to manipulate air and for your body to mimic smoke, air jinn of course also possess the ability to fly or float in place.
  
  

• Smoke Mimicry - As part of his genie physiology, Aron's body can completely or partially turn into a thick, swirly mist or flameless smoke. How else would he manage to squeeze into a tiny metal vessel? His body adopts most of the properties of a gaseous substance, but does not become completely intangible.
  
  

• Reality Warping - As a genie Aron is able to warp reality, but when outside of his metal vessel he can only do so in extremely limited ways. Like allowing someone to walk up a vertical wall, fitting a large object into a much smaller container or for light to appear in a room with no windows or other light source. It is essentially the ability to bend the laws of science to his liking, even if it is only a little bit.
  
  

• Wish Granting - All conditions and potential consequences aside, in theory, a genie of Aron's power is able to grant wishes. However, as a young genie this is an ability he has yet to master and something he will probably not be able to do for many years to come. It is currently barely more than wishful thinking.
  
  

Weaknesses

• Desire - Having the power of a type of genie that is (theoretically) capable of granting wishes, vividly imagining a particularly strong desire can sometimes act as a trigger for Aron to spontaneously change into his genie form. Not only does this result in awkward moments, it can also put his secret identity at serious risk.
  
  

• Human - While in his human form, Aron does not have access to any of his abilities. Until he chooses to change into his genie form again, he is just as weak and vulnerable as a regular human.
  
  

• Inexperience - Aron has not had his powers for long and is nowhere close to mastering them yet. Most genies are centuries or millennia old, his time as a genie has only been a fraction of that. He is also relatively new to the hero scene and still getting used to being on the right side of the law.
  
  

• Linked - Aron's powers are bound to his metal vessel. While there is no limit to the distance that seperates the genie and its vessel, Aron has to return to his vessel periodically to heal and recharge his magic reserves. Even just being in his genie form will slowly deplete his magical energy over time.
  
  

• Ownership - Whoever possesses a genie's vessel, gains control over the genie. The limits of Aron's freedom are completely subject to the whims of his current master. Furthermore, a genie is unable to do anything that will harm their current master.
  
  

• Summons - Whenever someone rubs his metal vessel, Aron is summoned and forced to appear at its locaton. Regardless of where he is at that time, even if the genie and the vessel are in different dimensions, planes or timelines. This can at times be a major advantage, but more often than not being summoned is not in Aron's favour.
  
  

• Vacuums - As Aron's body does not become completely intangible, he can not enter or escape from an airtight space through magical means. His power is also incredibly diminished in places with little to no air, such as underwater locations or the vacuum of space.
  
  

• Unilingual - He may be able to change into the form of an Arabian genie, but Aron does not understand a word of Arabic.

Trivia

• Aron's guilty pleasure is listening and (loudly) singing along to songs from Disney movies. It should come as no surprise to anyone that Disney's Aladdin is amongst his favorites.
  
  

• Aron is sometimes called Harun by other jinn and some of his nemeses. This is not his jinn name nor a legacy thing, it is simply the Arabic form of Aaron.
  
  

• Aron has been an orphan since birth. There was never a birth certificate and the names of his parents or his real last name are unknown. Johnson is simply the name that was given to him in the foster system. He has never tried to find his birth parents.
  
  

• All genies are bound to some form of metal vessel. This can be any kind of receptacle, from lamps to flutes, bottles, hookahs or even a teapot. In Aron's case his 'magic lamp' is an antique midwakh, a small smoking pipe of Arabian origin. He is extremely protective of it.
  
  

• Changing into his genie form comes with a free change of clothes, typically in Arabian or Persian fashion. When Aron changes back he will be wearing the same thing as before the change occurred.
  
  

• It would appear Aron is forever stuck in his early twenties, seemingly not aging beyond his physical prime. Whether he has obtained true immortality is still unclear.
  
  

Hooks

• Supernatural - To anything with the ability to detect magical energy a genie's presence is rather difficult to miss.
  
  
• UNTIL - As a condition of his pardon and freedom, Jinn agreed to work for UNTIL as one of their special agents.
