More in Depth?
Personality:
For most of his life, Aidan was a lively, popular, and engaging individual. While he still largely retains these personality traits, his incident with the truck left him a slight degree paranoid, and the idea of the world at large knowing of his mutations disturbs him. He would be happy if he spent all his time in the company of mutants.
Aidan has a streak of loyalty that runs deep. He believes in never leaving a man behind, even if it means putting yourself at risk. His is, of course, particularly protective of his closest friends. The best always comes out Aidan when the situation is most dire or when people need him the most
Aidan's greatest character flaw is his temper. He has the propensity for holding long grudges against those who have wronged him. This can lead him to be deliberately spiteful, even if it is at his own expense.

What I can Do and Can't
Powers:
Crystallokinesis: Aidan has psychic ability to generate and manipulate crystals and minerals at will.This can be used to change the size of present minerals, to change the molecular composition of minerals (changing one type into another), or to take the minerals out of any place containing them. Given the right situation and circumstances, there is no finite limit to the size of the minerals Aidan can generate or the amount of mineral weight he can psionically move.
Peak Condition: Aidan's body system works exactly as it should, and homeostasis cannot be disrupted except by extreme injury. With this ability Aidan's body can metabolize toxins and poisons through his system without suffering any ill effects. His body does not generate as much lactic acid, and he has increased respiratory capacity and his muscles never cramp. His joints stay elastic no matter how much stress they endure, allowing for increased flexibility and athletic faculty. His body maintains near-perfect health at all times.
Abilities: Since his crystallokinesis manifested, Aidan has become a devout student of mineralogy, and is on his way to becoming an expert in the field.
Weaknesses: Aidan's powers have no effect over plastics or rubber. They are also still quite raw, and Aidan is only effective with certain aspects of his power; namely, he has particular difficulty with generating minerals or crystal from nothing. He has no resistance to psychic attacks, is vulnerable to telekinesis, and despite his high level of strength and athleticism, he is young and inexperienced, and lacking in prolific fighting skill. A well placed bullet would still kill him, and his healing abilities do not function independently. As such, if he were knocked unconscious and injured grievously, he would be unable to save himself.
What Happened to Me
Adin is a mutant with rare and unusual gifts. His story starts with his great grandfather, who lived in the Ukrainian town of Chernobyl, and was present and exposed when the power plant failed. Although he himself was not outwardly effected by it, it did do something strange to his DNA. This mutation was passed down through Aidan's male predecessors, for all of whom the mutation remained dormant. When the mutation was handed down to Aidan's father Viktor, the circumstances were right for another change. Viktor was a nuclear physicist who was frequently in contact with highly irradiated materials. Exposure to this radiation forced another change in the already mutated cells.
When Aidan was born, he inherited this highly complex mutation. His powers manifested at an early age, perhaps at birth, as indicated by a time when he casually turned a regular rock into a glittering stone at a public park when he was four years old. Aidan's father was the only witness to this event, and he quickly scooped up the young Aidan and hurried him home. There, his father told him to keep his trick to himself, and to never show another person what he could do. As this mutation was not a physical one, this was not difficult for Aidan. As he grew, he lived as a normal child would have, almost never using his abilities thanks to his father's watchful eye.
As Aidan got a bit older, his outstanding physicality would become more and more apparent. He never seemed to get sick, hungry, or tired. He was also an outstanding athlete, excelling in basketball, baseball, and track and field.
Junior year of high school, things changed for Aidan. Aidan, his girlfriend, and some other friends were walking home from school afternoon. Although the weather was fair and the driving conditions good, a trucker in an eighteen wheeler managed to lose control of his vehicle as he approached them. He careened of the road, right at Aidan and his friends. Acting instinctively, he shoved his girlfriend and two friends out of the way, saving their lives, but leaving no time to save himself. All he had time to do was cover his head and closed his eyes, thoroughly expecting to die.
Then, something amazing happened. From seeming nothingness a sheet of diamond grew into existence, at least a foot thick, and at least ten feet high, it curved over him like a glittering and frozen wave. There was a great crash as the steel met diamond, but the gemstone did not even shudder as the truck stopped quickly and violent before it. The force was so great that it lifted the massive trucks rear set of tires feet off the ground. It is important to note here that this is the only time Aidan ever spontaneously generated something anywhere near this size. Since then he hash't been able to generate anything larger then a quarter from nothing.
Aidan opened his eyes stunned and amazed. His friends were dumbfounded and shocked, and simply didn't know what to think. They quickly fled the scene of the accident, quickly agreed to never speak about what had happened. Then they all returned to their homes.
The next few days were strange for Aidan. At school, he felt like everyone's eyes were on him, that his secret was out, and that they all knew what he was. When the weekend finally rolled around, he relished the chance to take a few days for himself to get his head back on strange. Little did he know that that very afternoon he was set to be visited by none other then Professor Charles Xavier. He came to Aidan's home and talked with him and his parents. At first it was talk of private schools, and scholarships, and fantastic athletics. When Aidan and Xavier spoke in private, though, the professor revealed his true purpose. At this, Aidan needed little convincing. Come Monday, Aidan would find himself on a train heading away from his hometown of Sterling, Connecticut, heading to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.
Aidan stayed and studied at Xavier's school for the next three years, learning more about his power. When Stryker attacked the school, Aidan was one of the last to flee, staying behind as long as he could to make sure as many of the students as possible were shepherded to safety.

writing sample:
"Mr. Konstantinov , perhaps Aidan and I could speak alone for a moment?" asked Professor Xavier politely.
"Of course. Aidan, if you need me, I'll be in my study."
Aidan's father strode to the other side of the room and through the open door, closing it quietly behind him. For a long moment there was silence; then the Professor reveled his truths.
Aidan, you're not alone.
The shock would have been visible on Aidan's face. The Professor's lips had not moved.
"What are you?"
"I"m a mutant, Aidan. Just like you."
"Just like me…so that's why I can do the things I do?"
"Yes, exactly. Your genes, Aidan, your DNA is different, unique. These changes have blessed you with incredible gifts."
"It's funny, I guess, I've never really thought about it much. I mean, I've always wanted to know why, but I never really thought about there being other people out their with their own special tricks."
"Aidan, there are so many of us that can do amazing things. You're one of them. There is so much more to you then you know. You could have the power to build up mountains, but you could also tear them down. You can create or destroy. You can either take your powers and make our world a better place, or you can use them for your own selfish wants and desires. Where you take this is up to you."
