Name:Aurel Fuchs
Gender:Male
Talent - Ultimate Thief:Aurel is noted to have exceptional skills when it comes to snatching an item from someones hands without them even realizing it, or anything in the midst of the room in plain sight. However, this is usually done on impulse with no exact rhyme or rhythm to it all. To add onto it, he has the uncanny ability to sneak around without even trying, seemingly popping out of no where naturally. While he does have lockpicking down, he still needs to work on it from time to time.
Appearance:Usually slouching over, Aurel isn't a very vivid individual aside from the clothes he wears, standing nearly five feet and eight inches if he didn't slouch as much. The height someone will usually find him at is around five feet and five inches, usually with a dull or bored visage. His hair is just a constant mess; a jungle of white splayed out in random directions, looking nearly impossible to tame. Other than his wild case of bedhead, he does have smouldering blue eyes that seem to be usually devoid of passion, seldom lighting up with any bouts of curiosity or life. Finally, he does harbor a bit of an athletic build, more or less along the lines of a runners toned body.
When it comes to outfits, he is much more standout than his actual appearance. Aurel's usual duds are displayed above as he wears purple tinted goggles with a missing lens. He wears a black, sleeveless turtleneck underneath his peculiar purple jacket. It has an obvious triangular motif about the center and some parts of the sleeves around the shoulders are missing; design choice most likely. Along with that, he wears some baggy pants that went along with the set, and some black gloves. Parts of his arm have been wrapped up in bandages for some reason.

Backstory:Well, for the most part, his childhood was rather uneventful and normal. Aurel was born to two German parents on the east coast of America, somewhere in a sleepy town of Virginia. Too good to be true with one parent acting as a lawyer and another as a stay at home mom; a perfect little nuclear family. Of course, their child did have a couple of issues.
Little Aurel was unusually quiet child who had some difficulty making friends and what not. However, he always had a tendency to... take things that weren't his... bah, enough sugar coating, he was a little thief.
It was around five years old when he started snatching. Of course, these were just minor things that seemingly wouldn't cost a fortune, ranging from spicy snacks that would make his nose dribble to the cutest of stuffed bears that would make any child squeal with delight. While it wasn't noticeable at first, his parents became alarmed over the amount of toys and teddy bear accumulating in their child's room, keeping receipts and the what not to identify whether or not they purchased said item... and of course, it did end up with little Aurel getting caught when their parents finally discovered the discrepancy.
They did return some of the items, lecturing Aurel and bailing him out of trouble, but it became evident that this was just the start of it all. Over time, his "heists" were bigger and bigger, more worrisome than the last. The family, for example, came home with a high-definition plasma screen tv without realizing it until they were unloading groceries.
They couldn't just return these items, namely out of fear over having their son missing out on future opportunities, and the fact that this could tarnish the Fuch's family reputation. So, they continued the same lifestyle, save for the fact that they were housing a criminal who had a penchant for taking anything he pleased.
However, a small organization of people did eventually catch wind of this, via pinpointing the location of where said thief was hiding. While they did think it was one of Aurel's parents, they soon discovered the error they made over who the thief was when Aurel managed to snatch some tasers and other priceless belongings from them without even realizing it.
Of course, this lead them to making a proposition with the parents, blackmailing them on keeping quiet about their sons antics and would reward the family a well, but in return, Aurel would help them. They ended up begrudgingly agreeing.
Over the next few months, America was hit with a crime spree by the organization known as the Crouching Tigers. While the name wasn't exactly original in many peoples eyes, they were on guard. Eventually they expanded to other places, concocting other heists in different countries. One of the more infamous ones was when the Mona Lisa was stolen once more and found in a mans apartment in Italy. While he was framed, the real instigator, but not the mastermind, was traveling home to Virginia.
At this point, his parents did end up becoming corrupted by greed based on how much money they were raking from their son. Their ideals became more warped when the Crouching Tigers ensured that the boy would catch the eye of Hope's Peak... and caught they did based on some of the videos sold to them over what Aurel did. Instead of turning the group and the family in, he was sent off to attend the prestigious Hope's Peak Academy as the Ultimate Thief, at the behest of his family, and the Crouching Tiger's.
And with that, he began anew.
Miscellaneous Info:While he does seem to steal indiscriminately, Aurel is noted for having a high count of stolen stuffed animals, ranging from the smallest of teddy bears to fluffy dogs that are as large as chairs.
Does a bit of gardening in his spare time, thought he does seem to favor desert plants over others.
Aurel keeps earplugs on him; while his ears aren't exactly sensitive, he just doesn't enjoy loud noises... and by extension, most music, unless its classical or soft, smooth jazz.
He seems to have a penchant for spicy dishes over any other type of food.
Seems to nibble at his index finger when nervous or thinking.
Aurel's hair color is completely natural, surprisingly enough; his father and mother normally both have white hair as well, lending it to genetics as opposed to hair dye.
