Caden has always been tall and lean, even in his younger years. Conventionally handsome, he carries himself with a certain tilt of his chin and a wistful look in his eye. Over the years he's built up a sort of broadness and tone but it stays nearly hidden behind loose shirts and oversized jackets.

Often times he dresses in a manner that would suggest an affection for vintage apparel. This manner of dressing is quite new to him as he spent many of his teenage years wearing all black and keeping his head down. His hair is bleached blond and somewhat shaggy, it hangs in his face. It's naturally dark and this can be noted through the shade of his eyebrows. He has mocha brown eyes set beneath dark eyelashes.

There are not many scars to note on this boy, the most prominent ones can be found on his hands and knees, though if one were looking closely then they would note a thin scar along his forehead.

Somewhat prone to being down in the dumps, Caden isn't always the easiest person to be around. Temperamental when provoked and terribly impatient, he often has to bite his tongue to keep himself out of trouble. A tendency to snap back at those who bother him or upset his balance, he doesn't hold back in his scathing reviews. He can be judgemental with people that he doesn't know and terribly sarcastic.

Quite friendly however most of the time, he's sweet in his demeanor. He's very empathetic and he likes to offer an ear wherever it's needed. A warm, joking manner is common of him, even if those jokes are pretty sarcastic. He's very brave, not afraid to jump right into things and he will be the first to speak his mind.

Caden was never any good with people, though it wasn't for a lack of trying. Many of his highschool years were spent trying to see what personality fit right amongst his peers and eventually, he gave up. He found his home amongst rejects and he was content that way but he couldn't help but wonder what it was like to run in the popular crowds. Intelligent and somewhat introverted, he took to writing poetry and keeping his nose to his notebooks. He wasn't confident enough to stand out so he decided to stay in.

Once he was out of highschool and into college, he actually started to blossom. Studying journalism brought him to all sorts of different people and this mixed crowd of brought out the best in him. He became braver and louder and more willing to speak for himself. He maintained some pieces of his old withdrawn personality but he was a much more confident person and this inevitably lead to his first relationship. This relationship was a ride of ups and downs but it ended in a crash-- literally. A car crash attributed to the substances his girlfriend was on at the time.

They both got out alive but not without a few nasty reminders. His girlfriend was left with a permanent limp and he had suffered damage to his vestibular system which lead to many dizzy spells and balance problems. This accident ultimately spelled the end to their relationship and he was soon out of college. Heartbroken but diligent, he carried on and picked up a job as a traveling journalist. He never stayed in one place very long but there was something distracting about never having to plant his roots anywhere.
