Name: Casden Norman Dusk

God Parent: Hades

Species: Demigod

Age: 15

Mortal Parent: Skylar Dusk

Appearance: 



As a son of Hades, Casden's appearance is cold and unnerving. He sports a slim frame weighing 140 lbs and standing at 5'11". His skin is a ghostly pale and as a result Casden prefers to keep to the shadows. His sharp grey eyes are like windows looking out on an overcast sky. His intense gaze is enough to send a chill down the spine of even the hardest of warriors. Accompanying this deathly stare is a sharp jawline to accentuate his grim demeanor. His hair is a mop of jet black parted to the right, covering the right eye. His lips are a thin line, rarely ever curving into a smile. Not a very friendly mien.

Personality:

Casden is, in a single word, introverted. He is quiet and has a strong distaste for conversation and basically socializing in general. And so he keeps to himself and that's just how he likes it. However, his aversion to social situations should not be mistaken for simple shyness, but rather a conscious decision. This introverted personality enables him to be more introspective and pensive, and as a result he often finds himself swallowed up by his own mentality.

With this persona comes a strong sense of independence. Casden's past has forced him to become naturally distrusting and to only rely on himself. Therefore, he hates cooperation and teamwork, taking more of a preference to acting as a sort of lone wolf.

Despite this solemnity, Casden does in fact possess a moral compass. He always tries to do what he believes is right, though this often contradicts with others' beliefs simply because he has an individualistic mindset. His sense of morality is often viewed as unconventional due to his sense of realism. He understands that the world is not all sunshine and rainbows and thus possesses a willingness to go to great lenghts to follow his own path and do what he believes is best. He is not beyond sacrifices moral principles to achieve this.

History:

Skylar Dusk was a college student studying abroad in London, Uk. It was here that she met the God of the Underworld, Hades, at a local bar. The two immediately hit it off and later went back to Skylar's apartment where they spent the night. When she awoke the following morning it was to solitude. Hades had left during the early morning, disappearing into the night. In his stead was a simple not, detailing who he was and what she would have to do with their new child. A quick test confirmed Hades' claim that she was in fact pregnant. Nine months down the road and Casden was born.

In his early childhood, Casden was raised by his mother while she finished her courses. She worked a number of parttime jobs on the side, but they still struggled to get by. In school Casden never seemed to fit in, being labeled as an outcast early on due to his lack of socializing. He kept to himself, although that didn't stop the other kids from harassing him for being "different" as they called it.

When Casden was ten, Skylar met an American tourist by the name of Terry. After a few months of dating they decided it was time to move back home to America. They took up residence in Boston, MA. Casden didn't mind the change in schools, though he faced the same problems here as he did in London. The kids teased him for dressing in all black and not conforming to the social expectations. He usually brushed it off and kept to himself in silence, although some cases escalated into violence. After Skylar and Terry had started dating, Casden had hoped that this guy would be the father he never had. He was not. Terry proved to be temperamental and the alcohol didn't help. As finances grew tight, the drinking increased. The more and more Terry drank himself into a stupor, the more spiteful he became. He frequently made it clear to Casden that he blamed him for the family's troubles because he was holding his mother back. He constantly called him worthless and, when he was really drunk, he was prone to beating.

Meanwhile at school he managed to make a single friend.

Weapons: Skeletos, a skull ring that morphs into a stygian iron sword/spear.
