What do you do with the leftover you
And how do you know, when to let go
Look me in the heart and tell me you won't go
Look me in the heart and unbreak broken, it won't happen

It's love that leaves and breaks the seal of always thinking you would be
Real, happy and healthy, strong and calm
[[Appearance]]
Jaden has yellow-blonde hair, the kind that turns near-white during summer, and due to its shoulder length, usually has it up in a ponytail. His eyes are a light blue to match, always behind a pair of glasses. Standing around 5’10”, he’s not the tallest guy around, and his wiry muscles make him look much weaker than he actually is. There isn’t an inch of fat on the boy’s body though, and the many scars on his hands show he’s nobody you want to mess with (though actually the scars are from plant thorns, they look intimidating.) As for his skin, he’s not lifeguard tan, but it’s obvious he goes out in the sun regularly, and has a pearly white smile that could kill.
[[Clothing]]
Jaden prefers comfort over style really, and is usually found in jeans and a fit t-shirt, green being his favorite color.
[[Jewelry/Accessories]]
Just a pair of glasses, nothing fancy.
How do you live so happily
while I am sad and broken down
[[Inventory]]
Jaden usually has his crappy cell on him, his keys, a really old swiss army knife, and a pocket edition of poisonous and non-poisonous plants, also really old.
[[Strengths]]
The most obvious of his strengths would be, of course, his knowledge of plant life and correlating intelligence. He can also cook very well, is physically fit, isn’t bad looking, and when he isn’t being a total jerk, he’s decent at understanding people.
[[Weaknesses]]
At night, Jaden is virtually useless and struggles to hold himself together. He’s also blind in one eye, throwing off his depth perception considerably and making him look klutzy on occasion. His self-esteem issues make it difficult for him to make decisions.
And on that day they'll tell you
That life hung on with no clue

[[Romance]]
He’s never gotten close enough to anybody to really know for sure, but probably pansexual.
[[Personality]]
Jaden’s first impression (and the second, and the third) is usually a terrible one. He comes off as rude, selfish, and completely uncaring about the people around him. He says things that push all the wrong buttons, as if he’s going out of his way to make people dislike him. Which would be true. Secretly, Jaden is terrified of losing the people he cares about, and as a result, does everything in his power to push people away from him. He panics when he finds himself making friends, or enjoying someone’s company, and will purposely be hurtful to keep them at a distance. When one looks closely, however, they’ll find his actions and his words are totally opposite.
Inherently, Jaden is a very giving person, and feels an immeasurable amount of guilt about how he treats people. So while he says cruel things, he’ll simultaneously be taking care of someone, hoping they won’t notice. He actually likes people and enjoys social situations, and will sometimes let his guard down when he’s enjoying himself. It’s in these moments the true Jaden shines through, a Jaden with an easy laugh and a huge smile, who is very observant about the people around him and always finds positive qualities in everyone.
On the flip side, his self-esteem is very low, a result of his Nyctophobia making him feel inadequate as a man, and he shoulders all his troubles and feelings by himself. It’s very difficult for anyone who attempts to get close to him to decipher what he’s actually thinking or feeling, as he finds it embarrassing to express himself. To the very few people he loves in his life, he is protective almost to a fault, sometimes becoming a burden when he lets his fears dictate his relationship with them.
[[Goals]]
Graduate undergraduate school with a 3.9 GPA
Get even.
[[History]]
All of Jaden’s troubles, from his phobias to his blind eye, stem from one incident when he was 13. Before then he grew up in relatively normal, though very wealthy, family. Him and his little brother were targeted on their way home from school and held hostage for ransom. Jaden remembers little of the incident, but it lead to his blind left eye, and the conditions he was kept in explain his terror of darkness. His little brother was killed, and nothing was the same after that.
