what you see

Cayden tops out at about 5' 11" in height. He's often slouched over, knocking off a few inches. As for weight, he is about 140lbs. The majority of his weight comes from the muscles that line his body, though he never really puts much work into strengthening them. Cayden has fairer skin, soft, and with vague traces of freckles.

To put it simply, he looks a lot younger than he actually his. His face shows youth, and still seems to have some of his baby fat around the cheeks. Cayden's face is rigid along the jawline, unlike a curved circle. He has high cheekbones, probably from his Scandinavian roots that are far down his family tree. His cheeks aren't rounded, and puffy, but rather flat. His face meets at the bottom of his chin, and somewhat splits in the middle. His jawline is just as rigid as the rest of his face, and helps make his face look thinner.

Cayden's hair seems to be a mix of a brown color, and blonde, leaving him with light colored hair. It's medium in length, smooth to the touch, and thin and fine. His hair is usually styled to stick up in the front. Facial hair has yet to start growing properly on his face, instead only producing stubble in some places. Eyebrows are thick, and bushy, and are the same color as his hair. They are curved upwards, adding a look of surprise that will forever be accompanying his eyes. They feel rough, which is probably due to how bushy they are.

His eyes are almond shaped, and most of the white is covered by is huge brown irises. The dark chocolate eyes are absent, his mind seemingly elsewhere. His eyes are surrounded by light purple bruises, the result of the small amount of sleep he ever has. Bags also accompany the bruises, and they rest just beneath his eyes. His nose is thin, and long, matching with the rest of his face nicely. It's flat at the end, not pointed out. His nostrils are well hidden, because of their angle, however, they are rather large too.

Cayden's ears are often not seen, due to being covered up by his hair, which he prefers. His lips are thin, but long, and are seemingly always lacking a smile. His lips are smooth, almost always moisturized by saliva from his mouth. His teeth are an off white; straight and well kept, he purposefully puts time into maintaining them.

His neck flows nicely down, and splits out to make his shoulders. The muscle is not as strong here, therefore presenting a thinner neck. His Adam's Apple barely sticks out, proving that he still hasn't actually finished puberty. His shoulders are broad, which seems to contradict the fact that he is still going through the growth that a teenager goes through.

Cayden's chest flows down to his flat stomach, which, as described before, is covered by the small bit of muscles he has. Long arms extend from his shoulders. They run down to his wrists, with the muscle he has down the whole way. The skin on the underside of his arm is much lighter than the rest of his body, and the top is covered with light brown hair. His veins are extremely prominent against the skin, and also bulge out slightly from his skin. The blue stands out, and is shocking to see the vibrant color against his otherwise basic skin tone. Burns stretch up his arm from the use of chemicals in the lab.

His palms are rough, and are covered with the same sorts of burns as his arms. His thin fingers stretch out, and finally end with the nails. His nails are rough at the ends, because he finds himself chewing them in stressful situations; this tends to not be the best option because of the sorts of things he handles throughout the day at work.

Medium length limbs extend down, forming his legs. The inner thigh is covered in light, smooth skin, while the rest is dark, and rough with hair. Muscles flow down the leg, adding to the overall thickness of his legs. His knee caps are a little bit bonier, but not enough to make much of a difference. His feet appear rough, but people would be surprised to find that they are actually somewhat soft to the touch. They've rarely experienced harm, or contact to things other than his home's floor, and almost always protected by shoes or work boots. The toes are like little stubs extending out, the tops being covered by soft toenails.

Cayden is fairly simple with his clothing. He wears clothing based around comfort more than appearance, usually only spending time in the hospital, the lab, or at home. A white lab coat goes over his clothing whilst working in the hospital or the lab, and he often actually forgets to take it off and walks throughout the District with it on.

what you are

He has an absolute love for chemistry that takes up the majority of his time. There's something about being able to cause reactions with different kinds of chemicals that interests him. There's a bit of an understatement in saying that he always thinks about it; his brain is working on ways to synthesize new medications. His personal specialty is in medications, and he also works in the hospital to further his knowledge in that field. However, he could be seen as an experimental chemist; he has tried many of the mixtures he has made to see their effects and possible downfalls. While not advantageous for his health, he has certainly experienced quite a few interesting combinations.

Cayden keeps entirely to himself, preferring to be alone. He feels quite content to be sitting in the lab at his own bench, working away with whatever his project of the week is. Being in larger social settings is an uncomfortable scenario for him; one on one conversations are tolerable but he still isn't the biggest fan. His excuse is that he has yet to find somebody who interests him enough to let his walls down.

As a result, he is pretty insensitive to other people's feelings; he's simply never had enough practice to fully know how to deal with things. He may say stupid things most of the time, fumbling over his words as he attempts to not make a fool of himself. The worst part is that he usually doesn't particularly care. He's not going through life and trying to make friends; his career and science is his only real interest. Cayden tends to be pessimistic, often seeing the worst in everything - at least apart from his work. When it comes to that, he stays as optimistic as possible, potentially more than he should.

He's definitely care free, and it shows all around him. He's disorganized, even at work, and is forgetful of a lot of things. His excuse is that his mind is preoccupied with a lot of stuff going on in his life and so he gets rid of the less important things. His lab bench is messy with papers covered in pen scribbles, and yet he seems to do his work efficiently despite that. Some might call him lazy if they were to see him away from his lab; he'd probably agree with them too.

Without a doubt, Cayden is a risk taker. He experiments with anything he deems interesting, including some of the drugs he makes. It's definitely dangerous as they could have serious side effects, but he doesn't really particularly care. It's not that he has a death wish; it's the furthest thing from it as he actually really enjoys his life. He just has a love for the pursuance of knowledge in the world of chemistry and he hopes to make his share in that discovery. Even if that means being irresponsible in taking care of himself. He needs to be the best and produce the best product when it comes to work.

He doesn't care about the rules, breaking them if it benefits his prosperity. Ultimately, he respects the law as much as he deems necessary. Generally he's not one to break it, but he wouldn't hesitate to do something most would see as bad if it provided benefit. Most of the time he is fairly rebellious and only does what suits him. At the end of the day, his career is what is most important to him.

what you remember

Cayden is the birth brother of Ventus Blanchard, but was snatched and moved to District Six on his own. He grew up in the orphanage which suited him perfectly fine as he was quieter and wouldn't have enjoyed a larger family. He kept to himself even as a child and never made any friends, something that benefited him when kids would be adopted and would leave the orphanage. He would never have anybody that he'd really miss after they've left.

He was never adopted and so he grew up alone in the orphanage. He fell in love with the textbooks on chemistry, sitting and reading them in corners throughout the large building. Even from a young age, he began reading up on the more complex subjects until he fully committed to following that in the future. Throughout the necessary schooling, he excelled in the science subjects but fell rather short in the language based ones as he'd avoid any oral presentations if he could.

He worked in a lab since the age of 13, helping clean up after the older scientists for the first little while. He was one of the better ones until his accident, which changed the view of his work ethic for most of the scientists. While discarding of a chemical, he accidentally added it to the wrong disposal bin, causing a bubbling reaction that burned his right arm pretty significantly. Crisscrossing patterns line his arm, appearing like a skin coloured tattoo at first glance. From then on, people viewed him as dangerous in the lab and so it was hard to get a job doing what he wanted.

It wasn't until he got to the age of 16 and he could show his skill that he got more offers in the labs he wanted. One of the biggest labs took him on to work as an assistant to one of their lead scientists, following him around and recording most of his notes for him. It was clear that he had a proficiency in chemistry and so they slowly gave him more and more responsibility until they offered him a full job with the lab. Soon enough, however, smaller ones were willing to let him work there too.

He started working at the hospital as a helper, moving patients and equipment throughout the halls as needed. In addition to the hospital, he works at a small lab producing medications for all of Panem. His goal in life is to make a difference with something, and he'll stop at nearly nothing to achieve it.
