== Background / Personal history: ==
•Hayden Durr grew up in a orphanage that doubled as a homeless shelter. The orphanage lady was always stressed and overworked, causing her to only have time to interact with so few of the orphans there. Hayden, just trying to get the care and love he needed as a child, learned to quickly mirror and act like what other people wanted to see. He acted like the perfect child, sacrificing his needs and wants to please the orphanage lady.
He was showered with affection, but deep down it was all conditional, and he knew it. To him though it didn't matter, he got the validation and love he wanted, and did anything he could to obtain it.
Fast track to adult life, and Hayden still was the people pleaser as a child. In the Bon marché he would often sing praises of others, be the continual yes man, and hide away his own wants and needs. He was eventually promoted to background operations manager, and was in charge of running the day to day tasks of the troupe. He made fast friends with Vincent and Bella. They opened up to each other about their lives, their dreams, and poured their hearts out together over several drinks. The two were inseparable.
He saw the cheers and applause from the audience, the love and the praise. His eyes grew wide and thought "I want that!" and auditioned for some parts. Vincent saw his acting and knew it wasn't any good. If there was one major flaw Vincent has it's brutal honesty, and nobody was safe from it, not even his friends. He gave Hayden many unintentional scathing remarks and denied him the position.
After that Hayden became bitter. Hayden resented Vincent for what he said and thought "I am giving my all to this position, to them, and to the troupe. Why don't they just give me a chance?" This thought festered and festered until the night came when he'd make the biggest mistake he'd ever regret. Backstabbing one of his only true friends.
Hayden blathered Vincent's secret to the whole crowd and made off with all the funds during the commotion. It was enough to live comfortably for the rest of his life. Hayden however, didn't really want things to go this way. He just couldn't speak up about his desires, and didn't try to improve himself in any way to get the part. He suppressed his desire until it turned to hate, and in one night it boiled over into something truly nasty.
Hayden regrets what he's done, but truly believes that he can't fix it. He now aimlessly wanders from place to place, spending the money he made off with, and wondering what to do next.
