Accepted I loved the App; it's nice to see something different after a while. Ity is slightly silly, though, so make sure not to always make your character that silly. Btw, have you made an account?

Character History:
Aaron was born into a very poor family. He has a sister who is his age, a father and a mother. Both his parents were huge Mark Twain fans and because their last name was Sawyer, they took advantage and named their son ‘Tom’. This greatly embarrassed Aaron and his wave of lies commenced with his name. He made up his own name after taking enough ridicule from others about the fact that his name was Tom Sawyer; instead, he became Aaron Sawyer. His name forever haunted him, despite his efforts to change it. So sometimes, he tells people that it was his family who inspired Mark Twain and that they were close family friends to make his name sound less stupid. His lies just kept growing and growing.
He did not have a very exciting childhood, and so he would make it exciting. Ashamed of his background and lack of wealth, he would make up stories about his parents to others and became somewhat of a pathological liar. He enjoys writing and has a wild imagination so would often incorporate both these things into his stories. As long as it made him sound good, and his family sound wealthy, he would continue on with his stories, never telling the same one twice.
When news of World War II came about, Aaron didn't need to think about it; he enlisted right away. His parents found it hard to believe that he was going to do something so...so...brave. He thought it would be an interesting adventure however, and being young, he did not know the hardships that he would soon have to face. He is not very skilled in combat, and has only really engaged in fighting which consists of two men tackling each other and throwing punches. He is still in the army however, because he wants his name to remembered in history. Yes, he is someone who does it for the glory and the thought that he may die does not occur to him because he pushes the possibility out of his mind.
He tries to make light of every situation, despite the necessity for seriousness at times. He is talkative, sometimes to the point of rambling. He is not at all shy, and claims to be fearless. He is very outspoken and is more of a talker than a man of action. He enjoys writing and dancing (oddly enough) and has a wild imagination. He is somewhat of a pathological liar and tells people things that make him look good. He has is moments of sarcasm and enjoys making people laugh. Because he talks and talks and talks, he tends to get himself in trouble a lot and winds up in horrible situations. And what does he do in that case? He tries to talk himself out of it.
Military Rank:
Private...if thats okay with you ;D
Writing Sample:
Subtlety was not Aaron's middle name. He was a talker, and was never afraid to say something that was on his mind. Now whether that something was the truth or not was difficult to determine. He was at the moment rather certain that someone was watching him. He should have been subtle really, and just gone back to his base, but he didn't want to be a coward. Of course that wouldn't be cowardly; it would have been the smart thing to do. But unfortunately, Aaron was not that intelligent and therefore did not see it that way.
"Whoever you are, show yourself! I am a martial arts expert and will prove it if need be." Lie. That was a total lie. The only 'martial arts' he was capable of was punching someone across the face. His form of combat was less graceful and not at all sophisticated. For him, life was a free for all. Of course he knew there would be rules and regulations when he enlisted in the army, but he was an adventurous and curious man.
"I said show yourself!" He repeated in a tone of authority. For all he knew, he was talking to himself, but on the chance that someone was there, he would take that risk of looking foolish. After all, if there was someone there to look foolish in front of, it meant that he was right. The thought of that made him smile, but it was a grin that faded shortly after it was formed. He had to put on his serious face right now. He could only look threatening if he looked serious, or so he believed. He slightly raised his hands, making them into fists as if to prepare himself for some sort of fight. Of course the person out there could have a gun and just shoot him.
"I know that if you had wanted to kill me, I would be dead by now, so just come out." He felt smart for reaching that conclusion, though there were far worse things than death. As a list of them appeared in his mind, he began to panic. He gulped, concealing the fear that was beginning to build up inside of him. What was he going to do?! He couldn't just runaway...it would make him look like a wuss. But he couldn't just wait around and be kidnapped either.
"I have to pee," he blurted out, as if announcing it to the world. Of course he didn't actually have to pee, but this may be his ticket out of here without looking like he was scared. "If you wish to wait, then we can continue this conversation once I have relieved myself." He slowly started to take a few steps backwards. "Okay? And if you leave by the time I have returned, then you are a true coward and are not worthy to be a soldier." Despite the contradiction of his words, and the lack of truth to them (since he had absolutely no intention of coming back), he said them anyway. And with that, he bolted, running as fast as he two legs could carry him. If someone had been watching him, it may have looked like he hadn't used the washroom in days. But he was free from a life of imprisonment and could not help but mutter the words "Sucker!" As he ran.
