- Crimson

Crimson, also known as Aquamarine or AARES-Rho: Patroklos, is a 14-year-old genetically modified supersoldier from the future era in the Truematter verse.

Appearance
Crimson has a rather eclectic getup overall, made up almost entirely of the colors white, red, and gray. He has a gray fedora, a gray leather jacket and gray dress pants, along with a red leather belt, red leather shoes with white soles, and a red-and-white plaid shirt. In addition, he wears tight, white leather fingerless gloves that fit him incredibly well, along with a pocket watch kept in his right pocket and attached to his belt. He also usually wears a pocket knife sheath made of white leather, also on the belt. His jacket has a symbol of two wings on the back. Physically, he is a teenage boy of average height and build for his age with dark brown hair and dark blue/green eyes. His hair is long on the top and buzzed on the sides.

Personality
Crimson's most immediate traits are apathy and philosophical eccentricity. He often appears bored and disinterested in his surroundings, and will often times go on strange tangents where he is almost talking to himself. He can also get rather jumpy at times, which can cause him to be violent and reckless. He is a very literal and logical person, and dislikes when people use misleading or otherwise difficult-to-interpret language.

Intelligence: Gifted like all AARES Units, Crimson has high but not extraordinary inteeligence. Due to his studies, he is skilled in mathematics and in combat intelligence(such as overall battle strategy, recognizing the strategies of and adapting to opponents, etc.). Though by nature a logical and philosophical person, he has only been able to study these subjects for a short time, and so is rather unskilled in these areas. He also posesses very low social intelligence and has a tendency to dismiss the opinions of others.

Weaknesses: He can only reassemble and transmute matter he has burned himself. He will not be able to reassemble objects that have been burnt by anything else. More importantly, if he receives an injury and is unable to burn the lost mass, he will not be able to heal the injury by turning into true matter and back. He is also unskilled in reading people's intentions and in diplomacy.

Feats: Was able to dodge and deflect attacks using his butterfly knife from Commander Sharp's J-10 Trident, which has an attack speed of ~44/fps and attacks with multiple blades at a time. Got better scores on the physical tests given by the Aegis Alliance than any other AARES unit had at his age. Capable of creating an aura of flame around himself.

Notable Attacks/Techniques
 * Flame Aura Strike: Crimson creates an aura of flame around himself and attacks his opponent with a punch, kick, or grapple.
 * Knife Throw: Crimson throws his knife at an opponent. Occasionally he hits them, but usually this is meant as a distraction so that he can use another move.
 * Teleport Attack: Crimson teleports behind someone and uses another move on them.

Note: Technically his regeneration is Low-Godly and not Mid-high because his body is completely destroyed in the process of changing between physical matter and true matter, which is what he does to regenerate.
