Appearance

The most notable thing about Aethaen, physically, is that he's blind. While once blind, Aethaen has since cured himself of that through the application of his powers. Despite his now-perfect sight, he occasionally wears a pince-nez.

He does not have an excessively muscular build, although he appears reasonably well-muscled, more so than one would expect of an average doctor, but less than one would expect of the average ki wielder. He normally wears monk-like robes or kimonos, often in bright colours. As a healer, the robes serve an extra purpose. Plenty of cloth for bandages to be ripped off of.

Aethaen stands five feet, ten inches tall. He weighs in at about two hundred sixty pounds, but looks significantly lighter -- his muscles are significantly more dense than the average human's, due to his bioengineering ways.

Powers

Aethaen wields both ki and psionic powers, in balanced measure with each other. His primary technique abilities focus on complete regeneration and healing, as well as the improvement of the body past typical norms. He even has the ability to prevent death from being permanent, under the correct circumstances. Due to his prior physical blindness, he also has excessively precise senses, with both his ki and psionic abilities.

Biography

Aethaen was born to Michelle and Keiko D'Argente. Neither of them were ki-wielders. The limits of their knowledge of martial arts was Keiko's tai chi hobby. However, both of them were involved in medicine. Michelle was a doctor, and Keiko a nurse. Unfortunately, both of them are currently deceased, having died three years ago, shot during a bank robbery. As an only child, and at the mature age of 23, Aethaen inherited all his parents' earthly possessions. As medical professionals, they were fairly well paid, and it was not an inconsiderable estate. Money, however, was not what Aethaen was focusing on at the time. Several years before, a man had come to pay his family a visit, having sensed Aethaen's potential as a ki-wielder. Aethaen agreed to train under him for a time, and for several months, that is what he did, learning the basics of harnessing ki and fighting with it. However, he did not wish to become a fighter. His parents were medical professionals, and that is what he planned on doing. He wished to heal people, not harm them. So, he sought out other options. And eventually, he found one. He left his first teacher on relatively friendly terms, said goodbye to his parents, and left for a small monastery. It was there, at the monastery, that he met his true mentor. One who could teach him how to heal, through ki. His knowledge of anatomy and biology was already excellent, and his training proceeded well. Now, he has left the monastery and returned to West City, his hometown to see what is to be done with the world.

Besides being able to heal through ki, Aethaen is well-trained in more mundane versions of medicine. He has herbal knowledge of many plants found on Terra, and has training in the 'modern' techniques of medicine as well, such as basic field surgery. He doesn't necessarily have to rely on his more unique abilities, thus, to cure some wounds... although the mundane methods, of course, usually take longer.
