## Personality

### Game 1

Kaden is very uptight and strict. He follows the rules to the letter and isn't very fond of breaking or side-stepping the rules, even when it's better to do so. Kaden has a zero tolerance for lazy or unwilling people, explaining why he has such a hatred towards the lazier members such as Anastasia. Kaden also has a problem attaching to people and forming close bonds with others, hence why he always seems so cold and distant, but this is actually because he has a hard time socialising and fitting in with other people. Kaden is a Trans Male, He/Him, and is Bisexual with a preference for Men and 0% attraction to Women. His extended zodiac sign is Lerius, the sign of the Staunch, meaning that Kaden is a Derse dreamer and a hero of Hope.

Kaden has the "RAD" rotation.

## Real Life

### Game 1 (True)

Kaden was the first born on July 25th (Leo/Olive) to Nico Roberts and Gaia Mccallum, along side his twin sister Amber. Kaden and Amer grew up in a loving home with their parents, but Kaden very quickly came down with a very serious disease that put him in and out of the hospital a few times each week. As a young child, this was very hard on Kaden to put up with.

After a while, Nico and Gaia got used to this and began leaving Kaden alone at the hospital for weeks on end instead of just picking him up every time he needed to come home. Due to this, Kaden never knew his parents very well and spent the majority of his young life in the hospital away from his family. Kaden became reclusive and eventually stopped speaking to everyone, but he always watched with envy as the other children his age and younger as they laughed and smiled with their families when they were picked up at the end of the day.

Kaden took an interest in the medical studies and often helped treat and play with the young sick kids. Kaden became used to the suffering of those around him and he knew that even if he made friends with any of his patients, that they'd all leave and he'd be alone again someday, so Kaden helped with the children but never socialised outside of his work. Even at school, of which the doctors who'd taken him in enlisted him at, Kaden stayed reserved and to himself. He still never talked and only kept quiet and to himself.

It wasn't until the day that Kaden's illness begun to worsen and he began to die did he begin to finally change his ways. He met with a nurse at the hospital who'd been helping him with his treatment, Dr. Samantha Samson, and he asked her for advice. He asked her to help him, to help him make friends and to help him enjoy his last moments on earth before he died. Dr. Samson smiled at Kaden and spoke softly as she told him about a place that she could take him to, a place where he could make all the friends he wanted and that he'd never have to be alone or worry about not being liked anymore. Kaden decided that, yes, this is how he wanted to spend the rest of his life and in exchange, Samantha stole his soul and it was from then on that he was forced to play her eternal game.

### Game 11

[CW/TW: Suicide mention]

Aspen was the second born child on July 25th (Leo/Olive) to Corbin Pavlov and Samantha Pavlov. Aspen had two other siblings, an older brother named Arsenic and a younger sister named Lilith. Despite the fact that Pavlov's had three children, they happened to be a very poor family. Around 2 years after Aspen's birth, Corbin and Samantha divorced due to Samantha cheating and Aspen and his siblings were sent off to an orphanage. Aspen and his siblings lived together in the orphanage for a little while until they were all adopted into various different foster homes, all of them resulting in horrible results.

Aspen's final foster home was with a couple named Keely Delaney and Tai O'Doherty, and their four children Carl, Rogan, Sara, and Avaya. Due to Aspen's past experiences in the foster system, he was paranoid about his new family. Aspen caused many problems such as running away, destroying their personal belongings, and acting out violently at school. However, these problems essentially stopped one day when Aspen befriended his brother Rogan.

Rogan slowly began teaching Aspen that nobody was going to hurt him and that he was safe here. Rogan taught Aspen and helped him feel more comfortable and curb his actions so that he wasn't acting out so much, but what Aspen didn't know is that this was just a ploy by Keely and Tai. After several months, Aspen had become a model child and never acted out, finally comfortable and happy with his new foster family. As the second oldest of all the children, Aspen often had to help out around the house when their parents were out. Aspen learned how to cook and do first aid due to his younger siblings being clumsy and often badly hurting themselves. Aspen grew to be very reliable and competent, but that all fell apart one day when Aspen started hearing the voices.

The voices he heard were of everyone in the past, the ones who hated him, criticised him, made him feel worthless. They told him to kill himself, over and over again. They told him to kill everyone else who had hurt him. They told him to do things that Aspen would never ever even consider doing, but then he thought about it. Aspen thought that maybe, just maybe, he could solve some of his problems and heal his past trauma if he hurt the people who hurt him in the past. Aspen carefully told Rogan about the voices and Rogan listened. Rogan introduced Aspen to witchcraft and gave him a pentacle necklace, telling Aspen that he was special and that the Gods had chosen him to be the prophet of the coming days. Aspen, too young to know better, took Rogan's words as fact and let it go straight to his ego.

Aspen tried to act on the voices' words, believing them to now be the words of God, and tried to kill someone. He was stopped and beaten into a black and blue, bloody pulp. Aspen later tried to kill himself that night, but was stopped by Rogan who entered the room just in time. Time went on and word spread of this attack in school and Aspen began to be severely bullied by those at school. He transferred schools to the school where his biological siblings, Arsenic and Lilith, just so happened to be attending. However, Aspen's past followed him and soon enough he was being bullied at his new school too.

The voices got worse over time, demanding more and more from Aspen, but Aspen couldn't please them. He told them to kill himself, day in and day out, again and again for being a faliure, for being terrible, for being a freak. Once more, Aspen tried to commit suicide, but he was stopped again by someone who he never expected to see again.

He saw Samantha, his mother, standing there in front of him. He ran into her arms with tears streaming down his face. She told him about a paradise she could bring him to, a place where he'd never be bullied and a place where he'd be accepted and wouldn't have to deal with the voices anymore. Aspen, desperate, accepted his mother's offer and in exchange, Samantha stole his soul and it was from then on that he was forced to play her eternal game.

## 2020 Bug

The 2020 Bug caused a lot of damage to the 2020-21 game session of Game 11 and it screwed up a lot of things, affecting crucial parts of the game and the characters themselves too. Here's how the bug affected Aspen:

1. Aspen was never meant to be sent to the Nightmare Realm. He was supposed to stay alongside the other characters from the very beginning, but Biocide slipped up when the bug infected her and she sent Aspen, alongside Arsenic and Lilith, to the Nightmare Realm.
2. Aspen, due to the Nightmare Realm incident, was severely held back in the game after he was returned to the normal game. Thanks to this, Aspen barely got through his Phase 1 character ark and everything about Phase 2 and him just never happened.
3. Aspen is an age regressor and that was supposed to be shown in the comics, but that was never shown due to the Nightmare Realm incident.
4. Essentially everything about Aspen was either held back or scrapped thanks to the Nightmare Realm incident, which makes the Bug the root of the problem.
5. Aspen's relationships with everyone else were stunted or held back. For example, Aspen and Bunny were supposed to date but never ended up doing so.

## Trivia

- Aspen's name theme was originally going to be Types of Trees with his real name being something along the lines of Oak or Willow, but this was obviously changed later on to be Modern English names.
