Name: Kade Marshall Trent
Age: twenty-one
Gender: male
Sexual Orientation: straight
Social Standing: adult

Physical Appearance:

Kade knows that he has the looks that make girls stop and stare. If one of these girls was asked about his appearance, they would probably be at a loss for words. What makes him so irresistible? Well, it’s a lot of things combined into one potent mixture. His eyes are the thing that has lulled many a girl beneath his spell. They are a gorgeous hazel hue, with flecks of green mixed in. Sometimes, depending on how you’re looking at them, they will almost appear to be green. Kade prides himself on his eyes, actually liking that part of his appearance. The next thing that would be added to that mixture would be his killer smile. It has been known to melt many girls’ hearts. It, and this irresistible boyish grin that he possesses the ability to have.

His hair is something that he really doesn’t like to worry about. He used to wear it long, but that just got annoying with him being in sports and other things. Now, he keeps it as low maintenance as possible, keeping it cut to only one or two inches in length. He tends to spike it up a bit with some hair gel, giving him the sexy look that the ladies love. When he was younger, his hair was very blonde in color, but now it is almost a light brown, or maybe a dirty blonde. He doesn’t know, he just knows that with it at such a short length, it’s not in his face anymore.

Kade is athletic, and even with his love for chocolate chip cookies, he is always in good shape. He has loads of upper body strength, and can pack a pretty good punch. He also sports a six pack with pride, though he rarely does anything other than some running to keep himself in that kind of shape. If he ever has a spare moment that he absolutely can’t find something better to do, you might find him at the gym working out and lifting some weights, but that’s really all he’ll ever do. He isn't too ripped, just enough to say that he’s well toned.

If there is one thing that Kade doesn’t like about his appearance, it would probably be his feet. It’s not they are deformed or weird or anything, but who honestly likes their feet? That is why you will rarely find the boy in sandal of any type and why he usually sticks to his usual footwear of biker boots, or sometimes regular tennis shoes.

Kade isn't into all that name brand junk. His saying when it comes to this: Abercrombie and Fitch this, bitch. He doesn't care what kind of label is on his clothes. As long as they fit and aren't absolutely falling apart, it's good enough for him. Kade wears what he is comfortable in, and that is almost always a t-shirts with a faded pair of jeans that has the occasional hole in the knees. He doesn't do shorts, and never wears sweat pants out in public. Maybe to sleep in, but that's it. He isn't a huge fan of tennis shoes, either. He'd much rather wear his biker boots, but for sports, he has to given in just a little and strap on some running shoes.

Personality:

Pinning down a certain type of personality to Kade Trent is really a tricky thing to do. There are a lot of people out there that one word, like "shy" or "outgoing" will sum them up entirely. Kade, to say the least, is not one of those people. But, that is exactly how Kade wants it to be. He keeps people on the outside of who he really is on purpose. That's just how he has always been. What asked about his personality, most people will tell you that he is an okay guy, and fun to be around if you don't piss him off.

Yes, he likes to party and have a good time, and he’s friendly enough when he is spoken too. Just don’t expect to get a lot of words out of him. Kade is more on the observant side of things, liking to sit back and take it all in rather than be in the spotlight. When he does talk, it will never be about himself. Kade is very private when it comes to personal things, such as his past. There really isn’t a lot there to dig up about him, but it’s just not how Kade does things. If someone starts to ask about, Kade is most likely to pass it off with some sarcastic remark, and try to direct the conversation in a different direction.

Sarcasm is his mask for not only his past, but also his emotions. Kade comes off to many as emotionless, and that’s exactly how he wants it to be. He keeps all of his feelings buried well beneath the surface, not wanting anyone to see what he might really be feeling. He’s the little boy that never cried when he fell. He’s the one that doesn’t back down from any challenge. He’s the tough bad ass that will knock a guy’s teeth out of his head if he says or does one thing that Kade doesn’t like in his presence. That is his outer shell, his hard metal plating that everyone sees. There is no emotion there, and that’s how he wants it. He doesn’t want people to see that deep down, he might be hurting, or that he might actually be happy about something. Emotions are so pointless, anyway. They just get in the way and don’t let you do what has to be done. That’s Kade’s opinion, at least. He has a lot of pride, more than what he probably should have, and that in a way helps him keep his emotions hid away. Especially fear. Kade has fears like everyone else, but he will never, ever, let them show. He’s the rock. If he isn’t strong, who will be?

He’s stubborn as hell, and once he has something in his mind, that’s it. End of discussion. He isn’t one to let something go, and he’ll do whatever it takes to get what he wants. Sometimes, that might involve stirring up a little trouble, but that’s okay. Kade has a severe dislike for authority, and doing something that pisses off authority figures just makes his day that much better. There has been more than one occasion where the police have taken him home in the back of their squad car, and a few times actually taken to the police station. Nothing too serious has ever come out of those arrests, and Kade always manages to work up some story to get his sentencing lightened. He isn’t a fan of lying, but when it comes to covering his ass, then it works for him. So far, he's been lucky enough to get caught doing minor things, and not the more serious setups that he is well known for.

And bring on the ladies. Kade knows that he has the looks that will make any girl stop and look his way, and his certainly has the confidence and the charisma to go along with them. He has got quite the reputation built up for himself because of this, but he really doesn’t pay attention to such things. Kade doesn’t mess with emotions, and he certainly isn’t one to lead a lady on. They know that it’s only going to be a one night thing from the start, and that’s how it stays. He’s always been something of a ladies’ man, loosing his virginity at around age thirteen, maybe fourteen. He can’t really recall his exact age, but he knows it was sometime around there. Kade doesn’t let himself fall for any girl. He dates occasionally, but that’s just because he’s a sucker for the eyes. He would never admit it, but a pretty set of eyes will seal the deal every time, and if they flash him a set of puppy dog eyes, then it’s over. But, he somehow always manages to screw up relationships, which, though it may sound bad, is fine with him. He doesn’t like commitment, and relationships with Kade don’t usually last more than a few weeks.

Another reason that relationships with him fail are because he makes it so damn hard to get close to him. Girls tend to fall for his confidence, and the guy that everyone sees from a distance. But when they try to get more out of him than that, he closes up and doesn’t let them. Kade is like that with everyone. He builds walls, ones that are almost impossible to break down. No one has been successful in doing so, and he doesn’t plan on letting it ever happen. The only way to ever really get to know him is to stick around long enough, and ask the right things and make the right moves at the right time. Even then, it’s hard, and he does his best to make it that way. Most of the time, it’s not intentional, but there are times when he knows that it would just be best for him and everyone else involved to sabotage it, and that’s what he does.

Once you get past all of that, there really is a fun loving, almost boyish side to Kade. He likes to pull pranks on people, and will do anything for a good laugh. His family has probably suffered the most for his own twisted amusement, seeing as he has done everything from plant fake snakes around the house to putting Nair in the shampoo bottles. Kade is also quite the dare devil, and does outrageous stunts. Anything for a good thrill. As said before, he doesn’t back down from challenges, and he’ll do almost anything that is suggested. Unless, of course, it’s just stupid and it isn’t worth his time, or is just so dangerous that death is almost a sure thing. He’ll stand back and watch others do it, though, then laugh his ass off when they end up hurt. It isn’t because he’s mean, he’s just the type to laugh first, ask if you’re okay later.

To add to his slightly more boyish side, Kade has this child like love for chocolate cookies. That was always what his parents would bribe him with when he was younger, and it’s just something that has stuck with him throughout the years. It’s almost like his comfort food. Have a bad day? Find a bag of chocolate chip cookies, and he’s instantly in a better mood. But don’t dare take a cookie without permission. He isn’t one that is usually selfish, but they are his cookies, not yours.

And that is Kade Trent in a nutshell.

History:

Kade Marshall Trent was born to Robert and Marion Trent one hot August morning a little over tewnty-one years ago in the city of Seattle, Washington. He was the young couple’s first born, and they couldn’t have been more excited or thrilled. Just about a year later, Kade’s birth was followed by that of a second son, Jared. Hunter, Robert and Marion’s third son, would be born a year later. They were a family of five, and a family that couldn’t have been filled with more care and love.

Kade’s childhood was nothing but average. This is the time period when he discovered his love for chocolate chip cookies, and when he learned just how to pull off the pranks that he became the master of. This is also when he started into sports. He started out on all the children’s teams, participating in t-ball, basketball, but the one that he liked best was soccer. The only problem was that he liked to make it more of a contact sport than what it was. That’s when Robert got the idea to start letting him play football. Robert would take Kade out into their backyard and just practice throwing the ball to him as he ran. The other boys would get involved, sometimes Marion too, and this was when Kade’s talent for the sport was first exposed. Later on, when he was finally old enough to sign up for the local youth team, he instantly took the game, and would go on to play it in high school as well.

Being the oldest of three sons, Kade was often taught to have more responsibility, and to watch out for his younger siblings. Kade was only a year older than Jared, and just barely, but he always made it his business to look out for them, and make sure that nothing ever happened to them. Of course, just like with all siblings, there were fights and arguments, and the occasional fist thrown at a brother’s face, but even when they weren’t getting along, Jared and Hunter were still his brothers, and he was the one that was there to watch out for them no matter what. It is said that the oldest child will usually get a long better with the third born, and that the second oldest gets along better with the fourth. Kade wasn’t so sure that it was true for him and his brothers. Jared and Hunter got along rather well, and Kade felt that he was a bit closer with Jared than he was with Hunter. Jared was kind of like a middle ground for the older and younger siblings.

Kade attended his freshman year at the local high school on his own, and found that it wasn't nearly as bad as everyone said it would be. He had good friends that stuck with him, and he did will on the football team. And, apparently the girls quite liked how he looked. Freshmen year flew by, and Kade joined the next year by both Jared and Hunter there. Hunter had skipped a grade in elementary school, joining Jared in his class. All three Trent brothers would go through that year and the next of high school with little complication.

The summer after Kade’s junior year, Jared and Hunter’s sophomore, was when things when from pretty normal, great even, to rock bottom. Kade, always being the one to seek out different parties and other various ways of having some fun, caught wind of a party and made up his mind that he was going. After some persuading on his end, he got Jared to tag along with him. The party was good, and the brothers managed to have some fun while they were there. But, the family was due to leave in a couple of days for their summer vacation in Mexico, and Kade hadn’t even started packing. He didn’t know for sure, but he guessed that Jared was either in the same situation, or had just barely begun his own packing. Neither of them had had too much to drink, but Kade let Jared drive the jeep that they had taken out home, neither of them knowing what the next fifteen minutes had in store for them.

They were a little past curfew, but Kade told Jared to take it easy, not to go too fast seeing as Jared had only just gotten his driver’s license. They decided to take a short cut on some back road that they knew of, tying to cut down on their time without having to fly like bats out of hell to do so. They were just laughing, and have a good time singing along with some song they both knew that was playing on the radio when the jeep started to pick up speed. It was dark, but Kade could see by the light of the headlights that there was a sharp turn coming up. He barely had time to say anything to Jared, and before he could fully register what was happening, they were hitting the guard rail at full speed, mowing it down and going down over a steep bank. The jeep was rolling, and tree branches were breaking all the windows sending shattered glass everywhere and scratching the boys’ faces. And then it all went black.

Kade would be told later on the jeep smashed into a tree too large for it to plow over, stopping it from rolling any further down the bank than it had. He would also be told that the reason that the jeep had gone out of control in the first place was that the brakes gave out, giving Jared no way of slowing down for the curve that had been ahead of them. Another car had drove by and found the wreckage. 911 had been called, and Kade had been taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital. There was a gash under his left eye that required some stitches, and he had lost a lot of blood, but he had received a blood transfusion and was doing well. When he had asked the about Jared, all he got was a sullen face from the doctor. Then came the most crushing news of all. Jared had been killed in the accident, and was dead when the 911 services had reached the site of the wreck.

The days following were dark ones for the Trent family and anyone else that had known and loved Jared. Uncle Bill flew up from North Carolina with Brittany Morgan in toe. At first, Kade didn't know what to do, or how to act. It was like everything was on pause. Time stood still, and he couldn't figure out how he was supposed to live in a world that Jared was no longer a part of. Brit, a best friend of his for as long as he could remember, was the only person that kept him together. When his strength had diminished, she was the one he turned to for support. While she was there, the feelings between them seemed to grow stronger themselves, but it seemed that the cards weren't set for them.

Brit and Bill flew back to North Carolina after it seemed that there was nothing else that could be done for the family in Seattle. Kade called Brit everyday, still depending on her when he had no one else. After a while, though, it was obvious that it wasn't going to work, and soon, the two friends lost touch with one another. That was when things started to go further on the downhill slide for Kade. He and Hunter had their differences, and conversation was tense between them. Marion was a wreck, and after a series of arguments, Kade and his father weren't speaking at all. Kade started to get mixed in with the wrong crowds, doing drugs and all sorts of things to try and ease his hurting.

After graduation that following spring, Kade was really at a loss. The scholarships for football hadn't come, as he had screwed that part of his future into the ground with no hope of reviving it. His grades weren't great, and he really didn't have a lot of interest in going to college for anything. He didn't want to waste money for a college tuition when he would more than likely flunk out anyway, so he went into the work force. What did he do? Well, a lot of different things. Mostly odd and end jobs, things that people could do themselves but were too damn lazy to do, like mowing lawns, builging fences.... He finally picked up a steady job at a car garage. Thank God for Uncle Bill teaching Kade the ins and outs of auto mechanics.

Things had been going good there, but Kade was still depressed, still spiraling. He knew that he needed to get off of it, to pick up and move on and just deal. So what did he do? Why, he went to Las Vagas, of course. Kade, Hunter, their friends Zach Cool, Vivian Anderson, Darcy Minos, and Scott Deavers all loaded into one car and made a road trip out of it. It would definitely prove to be a trip to remember. All of them were close, all had good relations with the others. But, Kade and Vivian were always a bit closer. Way back in their freshman year, they lost their virginity to one another, and had always stayed close after, even if they didn't officially date for any length of time. A few too many drinks coupled with a trip down memory lane landed Kade and Vivian in bed together once again on this trip, but that wasn't the best part. Turns out the night before, they had been more drunk than they realized and had gotten married in a Vegas chapel.

At first, they just sat in silence, trying to figure out why the hell no one stopped them and what they were going to do about it. As time went on, though, they started thinking that maybe they could make it work. They were close, and Kade did love her. Maybe he wasn't in love with her, but in time that could come, couldn't it? Once back in Seattle, Kade bought Vivian a ring, and that was that. They were going to make it work, and they really did. They moved into a house of their own, and their love grew more and more everyday. After the first year of their marriage had passed, Vivian came to Kade with tears of joy in her eyes. She was pregnant.

The next nine months passed in a blur, but it was a blur that Kade loved every minute of. He had grown a lot in the time that he spent with Vivian, and he was ready to take on these new responsibilities. Was looking forward to it. Too bad he never got a chance to be the father he was ready to be. Vivian died in labor due to some unforseen complication. Kade's world shattered, and he was left to raise his son on his own.

It's been nearly two years since then. Kade still wears his ring, and still misses Vivian everyday, but he has dealt with that loss the best that he could. Cooper, his baby boy, is his right hand man, though, tagging along with Dad everywhere he goes. Right now, he's just trying to make it from one day to the other and still hold his head above water.
