Aidan
From Sodor Island Forums
Aidan Rea (b. August 25th, 1988) joined SiF back in 2003. He registered under the name 'Harvey27', as an homage to one of his favorite characters, Harvey the Crane Engine. His fanfic-writing skills were at first a tad bit on the rubbish side, but with a little help from now-administrator Ryan, his writing improved. He is also a senior in high-school.

As a Musician
Aidan is very gifted in music. He mostly likes to play the music of the Beatles, and has learned how to play some of the parts Ringo Starr used to play for the songs. In fact, Aidan was lucky enough to take on the task of playing the drum set for a piece called "The Symphonic Beatles" at the fall concert at his school. Aidan also has perfect pitch, meaning he can automatically tell what a note is whenever one is played. From 2004 to 2006, Aidan was his marching band's xylophone player. He chose to leave the marching band because he felt that people excluded him from many activities and getting his hopes of being section leader like many other seniors crushed.
As an Actor
Aidan has participated in his school's productions of "Little Shop of Horrors" as a wino and "Grease", and also featured in the one-act play "This Is A Test", in which he provided the voice-over.
Inside SiF
Inside SiF, Aidan is one of the first generation members. He's liked by much of the forum's members. SiF is also the very first place where Aidan found true love. He developed a crush on Elizabeth Truitt, aka 'gotSTEAM?', and after several months of waiting, they revealed the truth about their love to the SiF. Now the two of them are happily engaged. Having received a microphone for Christmas, he's considering entering the world of redubs.
