Aason Bierak, Part 2

Yesterday, I introduced you to Aason Bierak, the first born son of Rei and Rome and gave you a bit of his background genetically. Today, we will discuss Aason's childhood growing into an adult after the events of Rome's Revolution.

Aason spent his formative years on the world of Deucado which only has 90% of the gravity of Earth. As a result, he grew taller than his father. By age 21, Aason stands at 6 foot 6 inches tall. However, because he developed with a pair of the 25th chromosome, his muscles are more powerful than his father's despite the fact that he grew up in a lower gravity world.

At 21, Aason is a handsome young man with brown hair and dark eyes that appear to glow, even in daylight. He can communicate with any Vuduri or Overmind or cut himself off at a moment's notice. He is brilliant, insightful and sensitive. He has both a caring side and is also capable of utterly objective logic. Occasionally, he cracks a joke but it is a rare thing.

At the end of Rome's Evolution, we found out that Rome had been pardoned of her crimes which meant she was allowed to return to Earth. When Aason was 13, his parents took him and his sister Lupe to the Earth to learn about his parents' birth world. When he was 20, he led an expedition to the "other" continents on the eastern hemisphere of Deucado called Sul and Toraode. He discovered traces of a lost civilization called the Suduri. His findings there may be documented in a future story.

Aason's first girlfriend was a mandasurte girl by the name of Vendi. She eventually broke his heart, in small part because of interference by Lupe but mostly because of his heritage. As he grew up, coming from heroes' blood, he always did the right thing. You could call Aason a real-life White Knight. The only problem is, a White Knight always dies alone. Women are drawn to the White Knight but ultimately they must leave him. No woman can ever stand up to his perfection and eventually seeks out a man of lesser makeup that does not make her feel inferior. Witness what happened to King Arthur. His wife, Guinevere, was eventually driven into the arms of Sir Lancelot.

Will this be Aason's fate? I hope not. I like the kid. You will find out in the upcoming novel The Milk Run which should be out early in 2014 AD.
