Gareth Ayden
Nickname: N/A
Age: 16
School Year: Second
Gender: Male
Nationality: Canada
Personality Gareth is rather a timid guy, but he's not a coward. Whenever possible, he likes to avoid unnecessary confrontations, but when forced to deal with them then he improvises. If all negotiations fail, then he fights with hit and run tactics mainly because he is afraid of getting hurt himself. His lack of confidence greatly affects him in battle. He tries so hard to overcome it by masking himself as a happy energetic guy ready to take on the world, but his old habits tends to kick in eventually to remind himself that he is not really that brave.
The moment an opportunity opens up, he hesitates to take advantage of it, thinking it would backfire on him and make the situation worse. This kind of thinking also applies to outside of battle where he would have trouble asking a girl out or even simply picking what clothes to wear for the day. He is extremely cautious and vigilant on his decision making and actions which causes him to take forever to make his next move. As a result, his test scores are rather low simply because he never finishes them on time.
All Gareth needs is a little positivity to unlock his full potential, if he can somehow be inspired or motivated by something related to the situation then he can temporarily overcome his timidness. However, the moment something negative happens he just instantly reverts back to his nervous self. It would be rather comical to others just watching Gareth shift back and forth between his emotions.
Bio Gareth had no intention of joining an assassin academy of any kind, but his friend 'persuaded' him to tag along with her. Emma was her name, a dear friend to Gareth for about four years. She was the one who wanted to be an assassin not Gareth, she was undoubtedly more courageous than him by a large margin. During his time in the academy, he did feel quite out of place compared to the other students. Maybe it was because of her, that he was able to get through the first year.
Around the start of the second year, tragedy struck Gareth when he found out Emma was supposedly killed during one of her assassination missions. Without her, Gareth thought he would get kicked out of the academy for his poor performance. His teachers had low expectations of him being a true assassin and was easily outshined by other candidates. One day he was forced to take a test determining whether or not he should be allowed to continue his stay at the academy. When the test was over, the teachers were rather surprised by the results and allowed him to continue his studies. Could it be that at his peak, he can easily surpass the rest of his class? When Gareth got the results himself, only one thing went through his head...

SkillsAgility- His hit and run tactics require him to move in and out fast before the enemy is able to react to him. Additionally it allows him to change his position often to confuse the enemy of his current location, opening up for long range variations of his technique.
Marksmanship- Shooting from a distance is his comfort zone. Even while moving at a fast pace, he is capable of having a steady aim at his target. More reliable than his swordsmanship skills.
Swordsmanship- Casual training with a blade time to time, much better than being unarmed in his opinion.
Patience- His long thought decision making can allow him to drag out a fight and delay the enemy to buy enough time for his friends. Although this is nullified when there's a time limit of some sort, causing him to go into a panic mode.
Adrenaline Rush- The power of positivity can allow him to temporarily forget about his weaknesses in order to reach the height of his power. Nullified instantly by negativity.
