[/center]
Number/Name: Goes by Jayden, and was never given a number due to the fact he was never a numbered subject in the facility he came from.
Number Placement:N/A
Gender: Male
Years since Creation: New body only a few months old
Date of Creation: May 12
Alignment: Lone, though is looking for a new alliance
Height: 7 inches
Fabric: Copper
Metal: Aluminum
Anomalies: Covered in multicolored patches, Jayden likes to keep his appearance as bright and cheerful as his personality. His new body is far stronger and taller then his old one, so none of the old problems of weakness and fatigue occur anymore.
Accessories: A long, light blue scarf
Abilities: He is good at sewing and patch jobs, as well as remaining smiling and positive through near any situation thrown at him.
Weapon(s): None. He used to not even hit enemies either even if his own life was at stake for personal reasons, but recently he has decided that if something really does mean him, or another harm, it is perfectly okay to attempt self-preservation. He still will try to inflict as little injury as possible if he can get away with it.
Appearance:
Personality: His soul is now 17 years old, but he still rarely ever acts his age. He has however stopped trying so hard to act like a kid, and just acts how he feels is right. Sometimes it does mean acting like carefree child, and other times he can slide right back into a mature mindset if it is needed. Despite the fact he could be a depressed, broken soul, Jayden's view is to live every moment of life to the fullest extent possible, no matter how bleak the world may seem. Even though he is no longer ill with a certain death sentence, he still believes no second should be wasted. He will find beauty in anything, and will very happily point all this out to anyone who will listen. He describes himself as "chronically happy" and refuses to allow negativity to draw him down. Despite the fact that it may seem unrealistic to always be joyful, he believes that happiness is a choice and you can find it even in the smallest of places, even if it means just marveling at the beauty of the sun and the feeling of its warmth. He loves people too, and will often go out of his way to just say hi to someone. This can prove dangerous as he seems to automatically pin everyone as innocent, rather than be wary of their possible intentions.
Angering or annoying him is very difficult to do, and one would have to be rather determined to make him crack for it to actually happen. There are three main things that can snap him into a foul mood and the first is to mention a dad, particularly his own, as that is probably one of his greatest sore spots. Second, you would have to be one of those people who are continuously feeling sorry for themselves. He cannot stand this, as he feels it's detrimental, annoying, and does absolutely nothing for anyone. Thirdly, are doctors. He still fears doctors, even greater then traitors and the Fabricator. The mere mention of going to see one can cause him to immediately curl up into a fearful blubbering mess, often begging not to have to go. Often this is just taken by others as the normal, irrational fears of a child, but this is not the case here. Unless he feels truly safe with the other, he will never reveal why either.
The bucket list he used to possess has been lost, and he is trying to pen a new one with things that really are meaningful to him rather then the enormous thing before that was full of things that just sounded slightly interesting (not that he has ditched those things entirely either). Having already achieved the top thing on his list, to survive, he feels rather accomplished, as he never thought that would be possible. However, it is still a work and progress and he has not abandoned it all together. It's just not as random and dangerous as before.
Other Information\History: Jayden spent more or less his entire human life holed up in the Pandora Research facility. He was never a subject there, but was also never allowed to leave, on strict orders of his father, Caleb. He was very isolated from the world, and almost any form of human contact, as his father never gave him any affection, rather more the opposite in that he was nearly completely ignored. This has now turned into him yearning for affection, though he feels he has yet to really receive much in return, despite the fact he gives out so much in comparison. Also due to this isolation and ignorance by his father, his ability to write, talk and read properly are still greatly diminished compared to most his age. His speech pattern is very childish due to never being taught properly, and his writing barely legible to some. Because of the ignorance and cruelty dealt out by his father, he began to rebel against him, and helped out the "subjects" of Pandora as best he could while still not being caught. This escalated to a point where he and one of the doctors, who had come to pity the prisoners managed to free one of them and give them a new life. This was however, the first and last time they would do so.
About a year later, when the war was at it's high point, he was picked by the head doctor, Daniel to be transferred into a stitchpunk body (without his actual consent), and without knowledge, also carry around Daniel's soul, which was implanted behind his optic in an alchemical capsule. At first he was blissfully unaware of anything being wrong, but then as time passed, he seemed to steadily weaken, and develop horrible headaches from the presence of the dormant second soul. Jayden began to realize something was indeed very wrong, and as he began to feel weaker and sicker, began to compose his bucket list of the many things he wished to do before he died, just in case whatever was wrong with him ended up being fatal. Every day he would try something new, and try to meet someone new with the goal of making at least one person smile each day. This "carefree" living however, was still punctuated by bouts of steadily increasing pain, until the point came where he could not even move any farther, and was assisted to safety by Donnie, who then brought him a few days later to the alchemist Merrick. It was determined that there was a second soul occupying his body and would have to be removed or he would eventually die. However, upon attempting to remove the second soul, Jayden instead as removed and cast out of his body. The second soul, Daniel, then took free reign of it and walked off with it, leaving Jayden bodiless and in a ghost form. He was still partially connected to his old body however thanks to a safety fix placed by Merrick, so Jayden couldn't fully leave the world like most other stitch-punks who loose their bodies, and he was stuck a ghost for a few months until Merrick happened across him and guided him to Reuben, who built him his new, adult body.
Jayden has no idea Daniel was the one who took off with his old body, and thus has no real resentment toward him. However if he ever did find out who it was this sentiment would probably change. As of now Jayden isn't sure where he wants to go or what he wants to do with himself, but he is sick of wandering alone and is seeking out a permanent alliance and place to call home. [/size][/sub]
