aydin was annoyed, he wasn't scared, he wasn't angry, he was just annoyed. sitting on the shores that he was certain lead to the night court, he watches as the waves pull and bend, water churning as if telling him they were not yet safe. he didn't fear for any of his family, each capable of handling themselves, and he certainly didn't worry for mi-cha. it may appear as if he were pouting, and perhaps he was, but he was truly just trying to think of a plan. tapping his leg, the night lord pushes from his seated position and he glances around, faintest scent telling him what direction to head in. it's faint, but it takes little time to round a corner of buildings and spot the familiar raven haired far. aydin zips to a stop in front of her, hands firmly grasping her hips and pulling her body against his own. he's always manhandling her. " hello my little nightmare, how is your vacation thus far ? "

kalore grey was not the type that aydin chose to spend his time with. in fact, he actively avoided the fae chosen to serve his brother in second. the island they were now calling another home seemed difficult to stay away from everyone on his list, though, and soon enough it was impossible not to see the midnight haired fae. aydin would groan if he didn’t wish to give the man yet another reason to add to the growing list of things the draven did wrong. “ i have yet to do anything, i am not due a lecture. ” // @shvdwscng

playing with his hair was something aydin did when he was stressed, and the word alone was not enough to encompass how he felt about the continued stay in the dusk court. he wouldn’t admit it, but any time away from rika only served to make his mood even more sour. it’s why the night lord relaxes when he spots her weaving through the crowd, hands flashing out to yank her into his lap the moment he can. “ were you not tasked with keeping me behaved ? how can you do so when you seem to be away from me more often than not, my little nightmare ? ” // @unfaed

avoiding his family was one thing, avoiding hazan was another. aydin inherently chose to stay as far as possible from most of his brother’s inner circle, save for taylan. it made sense for the eldest to chose to place family in his inner circle, but in aydin’s mind it only made more of a reason not to come around. he knew who he was, and knew what his family must think. however, it could be said that he had a heart, and being in the dusk court only made him realize that he could only hide so much. a cough comes from his lips when he sees the third in command. “ i didn’t do it. ” he’d actually been behaved as of late. // @jadedblud

being the black sheep of the family, aydin didn’t really spend much time around his family. it wasn’t anything against them, purely his own desire not to be wrapped up in court politics. being in velaris was a rarity for the draven, making his home in the court of nightmares and living up to the reputation the world thought of a night fae. he was capable of more, but aydin chose not to show that. being in lands that were only fabled wasn’t something he’d planned on, nor getting trapped in the capital. the surprises were tiring, but it did make him wish to check in with his siblings far more than he had ever before. so, when he was strolling and spotted the youngest of their house, aydin took a detour. “ have you yet to befriend a giant lizard ? ” // @ethercvl

“ i’m going to guess you have yet to find my brother if you are not joined at the hip ? ” aydin had never really made an effort to get to know the woman his brother had wed, aware of how the other had been distant for decades upon learning the beautiful secret of velaris. it seemed either they’d figured that out, or at least agreed to create a spawn. while he may not have gotten to know the other, he certainly didn’t wish ill upon her. being stuck in a new court, a fabled secret, alone, was not a sight he enjoyed. “ lest i have to lecture him about letting his pregnant wife wander foreign lands alone if you have found him. ” // @stxrslisten

‘ alperen duymaz, cis man, he/him, 32 / 320 , high fae ’ ― cauldron save you. it seems aydin draven has finally made it to the capital, the lord from the night court is said to be confident and is said to describe themselves with consistent disappointment, decisions made with little thought + a living black sheep and with all of this in mind their sarcastic nature always seems to get them into trouble. may the mother hold them as they navigate this unthinkable time. ; sibling to the high ruler + mi-cha's bargain partner

( tw : tbh idk he's a jerk )
second born son, aydin knew he was the spare early in his life. perhaps he put that into his own mind, perhaps his environment made him think it so. either way, the lord was quick to become a show of nothing, living up to little and earning the mantle of family disappointment. he grew distant from his family, often far from the house of wind in velaris and living within the court of nightmares instead. the hewn city welcomed its child, ayden fitting in as the type of lord all believe the night court to produce. he was nothing like his family, arrogant and filled with an act to cover up the feelings deep inside.
aydin isn't a thinker in most peoples' minds, he seems more like a reckless hedonistic lord lavishing in his title than someone capable of more. it's only slightly an act, he prefers to live his life with little worry, little thought, and certainly little drama. while aydin is plenty capable of playing the game, toying with people and keeping his reputation as filthy as it is, he doesn't care to. he's lazy, impetus, and incredibly stubborn. a flirty little shit, he's certainly had a long string of ex lovers and is well known for not being the best at relationships… that is, until over a century ago.
in line with his shitty behavior, aydin makes a deal with a freshly born fae, a former human new into the life of prythian. he doesn't think into it much, selfishly deciding it'll anger his family and he has little to lose with such a choice. but in time he sees more to it, realizes what he's bound himself to, who he has bound himself to. the bratty little lord begins to grow, he's less selfish in very select ways but all the more possessive. for once, he cares for another as much as he cares for himself. he's grown attached to the fae he made a bargain with, and perhaps she is the key to showing him that he's not such a spare after all.
over all, aydin is cocky, charming, and arrogant as hell. he's still a little flirty, but certainly not to the point that he's angling for anything romantic. he enjoys stirring the pot, angering people, and annoying people. his words are intentionally careless, or intentionally thought. sarcasm is his favorite mode of conversation. he's the black sheep of the dravens, many forgetting he's even a lord as he doesn't often share it. he still lives within the hewn city far more than in velaris, a true nightmare lord.

on main :
other ideas : ex lovers / flings / hook ups / friends with benefits, band of heathen friends, new friendships developing outside of the hewn city, people who just absolutely dislike him, people he likes to piss off, really open for a lot

distant from velaris, but not entirely out of the loop. aydin was well aware when he was in the presence of a night court fae and when he was not. the dark haired fae tingled in his mind, as if he’d seen the other before. perhaps on a visit to the rainbow road, perhaps simply in passing. either way, boredom ensued and the lord of night was a menace because of it. staying behaved was not his priority, but he still did have enough sense not to aim for an introduction with a dragon. tilting his head to the side, aydin locks gazes with the other fae. “ have they found you a bed yet ? i hear the new emissary is going about assigning rooms. ” an opening to make a salacious flirty remark, and yet, the lord behaves. for now. // @n1ghtsongs

aydin’s eyes instantly roll when the scent of his sister in law reaches his nose. it’s nothing against the former dawn fae by any means, but he assumes his brother is not too far any time the woman is around. when he isn’t met with the other scent, the younger night lord’s eyebrows raise a bit. interesting. “ good morning, seraphina. ” he greets in the most polite fashion he can muster. aydin isn’t the best behaved by any means, but he does try not to be a total ass to the woman that married his brother. // @stxrslisten
