PERSONALITY
When you're born, there's a certain degree of expectations placed upon your shoulders, yes? And those expectations tend to vary from person to person, yes? For example, a middle class citizen may find that their parents expect them to just do whatever makes them happy, and be a good person. But then, you might find that an upper class aristocratic family expects that the eldest male successor be the greatest of the great, at every single task asked of them.
A brutally honest society, as wealthy nobles are. Those that fail to live up to their beliefs end up broken, in one way or another. Aldous found himself broken from the moment he could comprehend the language his parents spoke to him. There was an insistence on him becoming a prodigal shinobi, leaving any sort of aspirations of his own in the dust.
He also has come to understand that lying comes as naturally to him as simply speaking the truth. Alsous is a terrible person. He doesn't believe in a persons freedom to live as they wish. He simply believes that they should die if they aren't strong enough to defend themselves.
However, he has also come to realize his limits as a human being, as well as a child. Being only fourteen years old, Aldous understands that he's quite weak, and that in order to act upon his ideals, he must be stronger, albeit he would prefer to not actually exert effort to attain this strength.
In order to maintain cordial relations with those who may or may not be able to kill him, aldous has developed an alternate persona of sorts. He'll smile and interact with people pleasantly, retaining an acquiescent demeanor, fit for a child. But upon gaining an instant of power over another, his true character shows.
APPEARANCE
As a relatively normal person, Aldous looks relatively normal. His only particularly outstanding feature is his hair, which happens to be an outstandingly vivid shade of red. A simple, messy haircut that's probly the result of a pair of scissors, and the absence of a brush. The hair doesn't quite reach his eyes, being just long enough to not bother him, but long enough that he could do something stylish if he wanted to. Which he doesn't. Although not many people expect style from a child.
The rest of Aldous isn't nearly as outstanding, though. His face is surprisingly pleasant for a child occupied by malice. He has a nice but plain smile, and wonderful light blue eyes. The physique of Aldous remaining singularly ordinary. Shockingly scrawny, applicably usual, that a person may find it ridiculous that such a person could be a shinobi.
Aldous hides his small stature underneath a very ordinary garb. A dark blue robe, long enough to cover his hands, but loose enough that he doesn't seem to be quite as little. But then, muffling, bundling, perhaps wrapping his collar, is a white scarf. Not long enough to trail behind or in front of him, but it is a nice scarf. Then lastly, on his feet are a pair of very simple black ninja sandals, which he hates. Perhaps someday he won't have feet to worry about adorning with useless talaria.

HISTORY
And then he was born. Aldous- whatever his last name was. It doesn't matter though, he's long since discarded that surname for one better. Welcome to the no-name club. It's quite exclusive, I'll have you know. The expectations of Aldous, as was spoken of before, were monumental. It's quite sad, really. That a child could be forced into such a role before even being capable of comprehension is just depressing.
But it remains fact. As Aldous came to understand his parents words, he became more and more broken. The noble family simply intended for him to be a famous shinobi of the Waterfall village. Many came before him, leaving him bewildered as to how he could meet such an assumption.
But he soon came to realize that he didn't need to. Aldous in fact, does not need to do anything at all. He found that things like lying, cheating, and execution came easy to him. While remaining relatively weak from an early age, Aldous used his intellect to his advantage. He'd weasel his way into a situation where his target found themselves quite trusting of him, and then he'd murder them.
Not that he'd kill a person upon request. He simply finds weak individuals to be deplorable. To this day, Aldous lives for himself, and ha yet to find an exception to this personal rule.
