Background

Aaera is an old flame of Lilin Trueshot, their team's thrower. The two met while they were in university, and for a time Aaera played drums in her almost-famous punk band Knife in the Dark, yet was kicked out after they broke up, and the rest of the band realised that he was a bit naff on drums. Since then, he has flitted from Bloodbowl team to Bloodbowl team; the Bluebow family are one of the lesser houses of Boldpeak, and so their youngest son has been under no obligation to play for the Breakers. Consequently, he has enjoyed stints with the Oldbrick Arrows, the Greenhelm Marauders, their rivals the Greenhelm Bears, and even the Chaos Pact Silentstreet Warriors.

Having run out of money, and suffering a rib injury in his final game for the Warriors, he tried to resurrect his musical career and took up guitar in the post-hardcore band Masters of Tomorrow, based in Silentstreet. Finding six strings more liberating than drumsticks, he delighted crowds with his endless stage dives, and willingness to pay for extra rounds at the afterparty. This continued for a few more months, until his debts grew too great, the band broke up, and he was chased out of town by a mob of disillusioned moshers. Falling back on what little weight his family's name carried, and looking for a highly-paying employer, he signed up for the Breakers, reuniting him with his old partner and bassist.

After 7 games / his 7th game

Aaera recorded his first casualty, and was crowdsurfed for the first time, in the same game against the Goblin side Carlisle United. Having successfully walloped one of the squishier Greenskins on the sideline, he turned to the crowd to soak up their applause, reliving his times on stage in front of his fans. However, much like his musical career in which no-one paid any attention to the drummer, all the fans ignored his tackle, instead focusing on the death of his teammate, Kuriah Darkstone, who had been smashed by a troll. Frustrated, Aaera didn't notice the Goblin shove him from behind, and into the crowd, for what was the first unwanted trip among cheering fans Aaera had taken.

After 10 games / his 10th game

Following the death of his receiving partner Nialla Hearthfang, who was at the time the unquestioned star of the team, it was expected that Aaera would take over as the team's number one receiver. Yet two games passed and the young catcher scored not a touchdown, taking his tally to zero in seven games. Additionally, a broken finger in his right hand prevented him from practicing any of his sick riffs, and so his musical ability fell off a cliff. Yet then, everything clicked; in three consecutive games against the Crookback Crimsons, Premier Funny Bones and Versatility 1 teams he scored four touchdowns, spearheading the team to two victories and a draw. He also became one of three players, along with linewoman Luminia Royalblade and thrower Lilin Trueshot, to start the opening ten games of the Breakers' career; his sudden scoring revival, and his constant on-field chemistry with the latter teammate, have led many to speculate that the pair will consider getting back together.

Perhaps they need to spend less time listening to punk, and more time with the arrogantly anti-makeup sex songs of Elven singer Taayla Swiftsong.

After 12 games / his 12th game

Aaera set a new record for the team in their 1-0 win over the Chaos Dwarf Dinky Does side. In addition to handing-off the ball to Yaolo Nightcloak for the game-winning score, he intercepted a bomb thrown by an enemy Minotaur, and promptly lobbed the explosive back to its owner, who dropped it at their feet and was stunned by the blast. In doing so, the catcher became the first Breaker to use a bomb on the field, and was awarded the game MVP for his /explosive/ performance.

The writer of these bios is now being formally disciplined for their use of that pun.

After 21 games / his 21st game

Aaera scored his seventh career touchdown against the Necromatic Ravenous Rippers team, and gave the Breakers their first win in the ELF league, a slender 2-1 victory. It is rumoured that he and Lilin have all but ended their relationship, allowing the latter to flourish on the field, and inspiring the former to start wearing extravagantly heavy black eyeliner and launch a solo musical career that he describes as 'electric funk-pipes'. Said career remains financially and artistically unsuccessful.
