Caden is a character from the Beast Bind Trinity campaign. A boy who met with a sad fate, becoming a ghost. The only thing greater than his curiosity is his love of music.

Description

Caden Graves is short and thin for his age, his skin just one shade away from a deathly pale. His auburn hair is fluffy and long for a boy, clumping as it comes out of his beanie. He wears t-shirts and jeans with sneakers. He's almost always wearing a large pair of headphones covering a beanie and a parka. With it being winter, Aya/Zinnia insists on him wearing a scarf.

He doesn't change much in beast form. As a ghost, his skin loses whatever color it has, his body becoming transparent, disappearing completely mid-thigh. His 'human' clothing falls away and he is left with what he died in, a holey t-shirt, ragged jeans, and a thin jacket with beanie.

Relationships

Matt Alton - Forgotten Cousin

An idol, well loved and sought after in the area of Ikebukuro. Caden knows of him and watches whatever showing he can. He doesn't know why, but he loves anything the idol puts out, even though it isn't his usual taste in music. He doesn't remember, but Matt is Caden's cousin. He also doesn't know how heavily his death weighs on Matt's heart.

Zinnia Alchancer - A New Friend

A girl who found Caden and helped him adjust to his new life after his death. Caden tends to follow her around like a puppy and constantly asking questions. She keeps him in line and makes him go to school, instead of haunting Curio/Nomen's apartment and listening to music all day. She dotes on him and protects him like a big sister. Caden appreciates all the effort more than she knows.

History

Caden lived with his cousin in Ikebukuro, being taken in after his parents had a falling out. He'd help out with Matt's prep work before shows and tried to make sure the music worked with his sets. After Matt's big break into idoldom, Caden was proud of him. Then the visits got less frequent. He was cared for, but he was alone. On one of the few visits, they got into a fight. Caden walked out into the streets and never came back.

He lived on the streets for a few weeks, getting by how he could, not bothering to go to school. He thought he could get by, even applying for some jobs. Nothing came of it. On one chilly night, he huddled up next to a dumpster to sleep. It was the last thing he remembered, being cold.

It was the first thing Caden remembered, being cold. The second thing was seeing a body. He tried to wake up whoever it was, but they wouldn't wake up. He tried calling for help, but no one would come. He called and called, no one answering him as he circled around. The only person to answer him was Zinnia, who helped him come to terms with what he now was. He was a ghost.
