Aiden Mercer's Questionnaire

Aiden lives in a farm house in middle of nowhere southern Illinois, with a small warehouse filled with workshop tools/machines and a storage area for materials, his actually house is a two story house with the top floor being most open with a Study area, with one room for his bedroom/bathroom. on the first floor is a living room, Kitchen, and Dining room, the basement is filled with blueprints, boxes and more boxes. Next to the house is a 2 car garage for his personal vehicles.

He chooses to live here because he can test his creations without anyone seeing or being near to it. It also provides a nice silence so he can enjoy his days. He prefers here due to no other person being with a mile or two. the closest town is about 10 miles away. 

Aiden made his money on selling his inventions to the military, getting a nice commission as well as a decent bit of change every month, that and from smart investments in the stock market allows him to mostly get to keep inventing new ideas for his 'Industry'.

He mostly spends all of his money on supplies for his experiments and prototypes he makes in his free time, or he goes to Military Contracting Conventions to buy new/old inventions to see what is 'in' which ever is the case he find problems with most and spends more money to 'fix' inventions of others.

Aiden's ambition is to bring the Arms Industry into a new era and increase the amount guns and equipment is produced (And owning most of it). He is striving to slowly buying most if not all of the current weapons manufactures and be the sole Weapon manufacture. He's willing to get his hands dirty whether that be corporate espionage or giving people 'extended vacations' all is doable for Aiden as he tries to go down in history, He's not willing to die for his goal as if he dies he can't continue to becoming the great, however he does not mind to send other people to their death as he moves forward walking on the corpses of his allies and friends. 

Aiden's most defining event is when he made his first 'sale' to the US Government for a prototype that allowed his push himself further into his research as he no longer had to worry about money to finance his inventions. After the sale Aiden delved deeper into his research spending most of his days reading books or drawing blueprints, although most of the 'inventions' were not great a few popped out which allowed him to continue this for quite some time. 

During these 'failed' inventions he would be inspired to create a new way for the industry to take off, although most of it was eligible writing of a mad man, but to Aiden it made sense.

Cara Ashton *Friend* - Cara and Aiden go back to college days where they were in the same classes, Cara helped Aiden test and build his inventions when he came up with it, and also provided her own ideas to his creations. After college they kept in touch while they both went and continued their work, with Cara going into the Engineering field, and Aiden to the Contracting work. 

Elliot Leland *US Government Contact* - During the first couple of years out of college Aiden created and submitted many inventions to the government although most of them were accepted a few of the many were bought out and produced, Leland was the main contact Aiden talked to through out this time, giving Leland showcases of his inventions showing blueprints over dinner and assortment of other meeting which allowed to be known as 'work' friends.

Corey Lucian *Accountant/Investment Agent* - After selling his ideas to the government, he would go out and get an Accountant to manage his funds he got and to invest them into the stocks. After search for while he found out one of his classmates from High school was a high end accountant. Aiden make contact and they began a working relation. 

Aiden childhood was fairly normal, with his family being in middle class with his mom working as a Nurse and his father as a Construction Foreman, His parents were kind and loving providing him with whatever he needed to grow up. Aiden attended both Elementary school and High school, although Aiden graduated High school a year earlier due to excelled academics started college when he was only 17 he would do well through out his college years before going on with life. During his learning years he would have an average friend group due him socializing with quite a few people. During these years he would befriend a few people who would help him later on to continue his work in his Contracting work, although he would lose contact with most of his friend group as they grew into different sectors of the work force, but Aiden doesn't mind as he knows this is life.

Aiden has been in love a few times, but who hasn't? They never lasted long due to him be obsessed with his work and continuing to put his past lovers on the back burner as he devoted all his time to his work, although a few lasted longer than most with him attempting his best to balance the two, although his work always seems to win the battle between the two, so recently he decided to stay away from romance and instead continuing to focus on his work to accomplish his goal and maybe then he will try again.. but that's unlikely.
