Jayden David Crane
Nickname:
His brother (deceased) called him "Jay" though he doesn't condone anyone else using this name.
Role:
Student 5 (Vampire, Male)
Picture(s):
Written appearance: Blood red eyes, slightly pointed nose, average sized mouth, though not visible in the picture, he constantly wears his brothers golden locket, which contains two pictures on either side of the inside, one of his parents on the left, one of him and his brother on the right. He never removes said locket from his person and is extremely protective of it. He has a blotchy birth mark on his elbow and a long scar across his chest.
General Body Structure: Fairly tall, but not towering or intimidating in any way, average muscle structure in the arms concealing a surprising amount of upper body strength. Average build, more imposing than meek, legs are of average width and length, the expected size of someone his age, however like his arms his legs are stronger than they look.
Personality:
Distant, cold and cruel. Jayden calls the world and the people in it as he sees them. If he finds someone annoying he will tell them so, often following up by telling them to shut their mouths, if he finds someone weak and pathetic he will openly mention it and begin pointing out ways that the person in question IS weak and pathetic. Though most people deem this as petty bullying and pointing out of flaws Jayden proves this wrong by doing it to absolutely everyone, even himself when he's alone or looking in a mirror. As you might expect Jayden hasn't made any friends, next to nobody likes him and, as he puts it, he likes next to nobody. Though deep down there's a larger reason behind his behavior. Jayden acts as if he hates others because Jayden hates himself. He wishes he wasn't alive, he wishes he was never born, he blames himself for his brothers death and hates himself for it. What he hates more than anything however is the fact that he's a vampire. When he feels the urge for blood, when he sees someone bleed and gets... impulses, it disgusts him, he's often attempted to starve himself of blood in school, once even getting to the point where he had to be force fed from a blood bag just to stay alive. He doesn't feel that vampires have it in them to fully control themselves and acts cruel and distant to keep people away from him, he says it's because he doesn't want to hurt anybody, because he's dangerous. Though secretly he has a desperate fear of being alone.
As previously mentioned Jayden doesn't have any friends, he gets on better with those who know about, or are themselves, vampires though even then the furthest he'd ever get with anyone is an acquaintance. Though if a time came when he did have a friend he would be extremely protective of them, becoming hell-bent on making sure that that person never came into harm. This would go for every single one of his friends, but the first friend he made would probably be the one he cared about most. Simply because that person would have to have tried "very" hard to become friends with Jayden in the first place. When around others and he's not mocking them or picking at their flaws he's the image of a quiet and serious persona. Often remaining silent unless he has to say something that actually contributes to the situation at hand. He's anything but spontaneous and appears to be lacking in energy and motivation alot of the time. He hates physical violence and abuse and will uncharacteristically stand in defense of someone if they are on the receiving end of a beating, often doing considerable physical damage to the attacker in the process. He's lived most of his life without female influence and as such doesn't know how to act around girls, treating them as he would a male and judging them with just as much prejudice, however if a girl were to approach him in a friendly or romantic manner he would become flustered and unnerved, breaking his usually serious behavior and causing him to show a bit more emotion than he usually would. Deep down he has a twisted sadistic side to him, if he is exposed to combat for a long period of time he loses control and becomes obsessed with killing, because of this he tends to avoid combat wherever possible and when he does get into fights he likes to keep them quick so as to avoid losing control.

You've got my attention
There's no need to hurt your self this way
You think no one will notice you're feeling
When you cry yourself to sleep
You feel stuck on the outside looking inside
Wishing this life wasn't your life
And you think you're damaged way beyond repair
Well you're not so far that I can't get to where you are
You wish you were someone else
Every night you fall to pieces
Knowing you can't save yourself
I can see you, I can hear you
There's a place where the broken go
There's a room full of second chances
You're not stranded on your own
You're not invisible
I'm ready to listen
There's no need to hold it all inside
The smallest whisper
I hear it when your strength has all but died
I need you to believe me, can you trust me
That what you see, is not what I see
The reflection in the mirror's telling lies
Cause nothing you have done could change how much I love you
You're not invisible
I can see you as you're falling on your knees
You're not invisible to Me
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Crush: TBA
Biography:
Jaydens life was difficult, his Father had died of a cause he had never heard about before his birth and his Mother died in child birth, leaving only him and his eighteen year old brother Damon remaining. Despite him being the reason for his mothers death. Damon felt no hatred or disdain for his baby brother and decided instead to raise the young boy by himself, keeping the name his mother had intended for him, Jayden. Damon never once acted as Jaydens father and often told Jayden about their parents, showing him pictures from old family albums or video recordings from holidays past. Jayden loved finding out about his parents and he loved his brother for being honest with him. Damon worked as a substitute teacher and as such acted as a teacher for Jayden, home-schooling him. Jayden was very bright and cheery, he showed magnificent progress with his studies and Damon had no doubt he would excel in his life. One day however Damon came home worried and showed Jayden a safe. He told Jayden that the combination was their mothers birthday and gave Jayden explicit instructions to only open the safe when the time was right. Jayden, confused and worried by his brothers behavior agreed, never thinking he would actually need to open the safe. That is until... that day.
Years had passed and Jayden was much older, he had been watching T.V. at the time when it happened, he had decided with Damon that he wanted to go to a proper school, one where he could interact and be with other people of his own age, rather than be stuck at home all the time. Jayden idly flicked the channel again, searching for something interesting to watch when he heard a deafening crack. He rushed out of his room into the main hallway to see his brother standing worriedly as a large man looked onto him angrily. The large crack had been the door, which now lay broken on the floor. Had this been the strange mans doing? As soon as the man saw Jayden he laughed, before turning to Damon and saying how stupid he had been to think a vampire could raise a child. *Wait a vampire?* Jayden thought. *Vampires don't even exist! Is this guy insane?!* The man smirked and said something to Damon about how he never should of betrayed him and drew a blade. The mans smirk then grew into a sadistic smile and he rushed at Jayden with a killing intent, the blade aimed precisely at his chest, all the while the man stared at Damon, as if this was the mans way of getting some kind of revenge. Jayden tensed, bracing himself and wondering why he was going to die so suddenly when... *THUMP!* Jayden was pushed out of the way, his head smashing against the wall, the last thing he saw before he blacked out was the mans sword driving into Damons heart.
When Jayden awoke there was a pool of blood in the hallway, his brother and the man were gone, when Jayden looked at the blood he felt a strange feeling, something disturbing and unnatural, he chose to ignore it for the time being. He was in extreme pain and was still disoriented, but he knew he had to move and somehow he managed to stand up. When he was upright Jayden saw a message carved roughly on the stair banister. It read too words... "It's time." Jayden, knowing the message had to be from his brother, didn't hesitate and rushed to the safe and entered the code before slamming the door open and revealing the contents.
What happened next is currently not known, only that after Jayden found the safes contents he changed his personality into the hateful one he has today. After the elder vampires discovered that Jayden had come into direct contact with a vampire they sent a letter, requesting he come to their school. After a week of the letter being ignored someone was sent to find Jayden. They found him in his house, the letter still sitting untouched in his letter box and a large dried pool of blood in the hallway. Jayden himself was sitting with the T.V. on, though he didn't appear to be watching it. The boy looked half-starved but there was something else about him... he was... vampiric. He had become a vampire. Upon being questioned Jayden claimed to be fully aware of what he had become and that he had been responsible for his brothers death. After a chat with the man sent to find him, Jayden agreed to attend The University of Sanguinary. Since then he has lived at the University, the exact details of his change into a vampire unclear.
