:.A Glorious Gift.:
Kaiden is a Metahuman with the power to communicate with animals. Kaiden also has dark red eyes that allow him to see perfectly well when darkness falls. Each species is different when it comes to communication, and needs a different approach, causing Kaiden to be constantly working on developing his animal languages. It is more of how he can communicate rather than speaking their language. Each animal approaches their communication differently and until Kaiden deciphers their approach he cannot communicate. It is not very difficult but it does take some time, thought, and practice. Kaiden's immense respect for animals allows them to be open to his reach for communication. His goal is to be able to communicate with any animal. He finds their view on life to be more simple and in many ways more peaceful. Kaiden had learned to communicate well with birds when he was young, leading to his close relationship with his falcon friend he named Akasha, which means open air, space. Kaiden saved Akasha from it's abandoned nest and nursed her to health, taking on the 'mother' role as he watched Akasha grow. Akasha is now 5 years old and has full trust and love for Kaiden, their bond unbreakable.

:.People Say.:
Kaiden is a kind and peaceful person. Many people are full of anger or hatred for the way their lives have to be lived, but Kaiden is an optimistic and is always the one to help people focus on the positive in their lives and environment. Some find his approach to life obnoxious and arrogant while others find it relaxing and hopeful. Kaiden loves all of the animals, including the small insects that roam the ground. He is patient with them and is able to speak with just about every animal their camp has seen. Although he is quiet and usually keeps to himself, he is easy to speak to and is able to get along with many people. He is quick to give someone a smile and offer a helping hand. 

:.The Past Was.:
Kaiden had grew up alone with his mother. They were traveling with a small group across the states from the west, looking for a safer place to call him. The group started out with 25 people. As they traveled across the land, the group slowly began to dwindle due to sickness, heat stroke, and some times the Dead. Kaiden's mother was a strong woman, both in her thick body and her quick mind. She protected them through their travels, putting Kaiden's safety above anyone else, including her own. Kaiden helped in his own way for them to survive. His mother knew of his power but they kept it their own little secret. Kaiden would find food for them. His communication allowed him to lure trust from small animals. He knew they needed to eat to survive and when these necessary moments came he killed with swiftness and dignity for their sacrifice. Kaiden is a vegetarian and only eats animal meat when he absolutely has to. With Akasha's help he eats lots of found berries, nuts, seeds, grass and even insects when needed; he particularly enjoys earth worms. Kaiden and his mother were traveling with two of their friends that survived their first group. It seemed they would be left to wander for the rest of their lives, until they came upon Cypher. Cypher offered to take them in, laying down the strict rules they must abide by. One rule was that they must disclose whether they were human or metahuman. So then it was at that moment that Kaiden's secret was finally revealed. They had to provide what service they would offer when staying with Cypher. His mother, Adie, was a wonderful cook and very resourceful. Their friends, who were brothers, were skilled in archery and knife throwing. Kaiden informed Cypher of his special power, revealing his metahuman status. Cypher accepted them all. They have been living in Cyphers camp since, enjoying a life with a large group that would protect them, as they would for them; safety in numbers and a place to call home. There were strict rules, but when followed, life was good, or at least much better than their nomadic life before.
