how would you set an aura behind the character

Set the layer of the aura to be less than that of the character. You can also set it to be the characters layer minus 1.

Or use underlays?

Even using underlays, they can still appear above a character.

Nick, thats an OVERLAY not an UNDERLAY, anyway,
do as Crzylme said:
usr.underlay += 'blah.dmi'
and for a OVERlay
usr.overlay += 'blah.dmi'

make a var called auraon and set it to be 0 originaly and make a verb called aura on and off so when u click on it adds the aura on and makes aura on = 1 if auraon = 0 if auraon = 1 it does nothing. then on aura off if auraon = 1 it takes it off and make auraon = 0 an dif auraon = 0 then it does nothing, do you understand?

mob/var/Aura = null

mob/verb/Aura_On()
    if(src.Aura == null)
        src.underlays += 'Aura.dmi'
        src.Aura = 1
    else
        src << "You already have an aura!"
        
mob/verb/Aura_Off()
    if(src.Aura == 1)
        src.underlays -= 'Aura.dmi'
        src.Aura = null
    else
        src << "You don't have an aura!"
