Personality:
Kaiden is a happy go lucky person. He likes to have fun, mostly by teasing others. He doesn't usually take a liking to many people but is a loyal companion if he finds someone he both trusts and likes. Although he usually does most of the jobs given to him he does have a code of conduct. As a Mercenary killing isn't a new concept but he will not by any means kill children. Woman make the off limits list but there are exceptions. How ever he also like to have a fair and challenging fight, to the point that he has been known not to kill the elderly often and will occasionally give his opponent a chance to fight back. With his way of living aside Kaiden also likes to tinker with weapons and build his own from time to time. While this is one of his big past times he is sometimes lead astray by his need to feel the adrenaline of doing something exciting, anything that gives him a rush really. This could be anything from gambling to fighting and even robbery.





Kaiden's mother was a Brotherhood of Steel Senior Paladin and his father was a freelance doctor and scientist. After finding out that she was pregnant Kaiden's mother spent several weeks trying to get him to agree to leave here after Kaiden was born. After finally getting Kaiden's father to agree she gave him a long dead raiders 10mm pistol. Not sure of any other place to live that would be safe for Kaiden his father took him to Freeside. While Kaiden and his father were living in Freeside his mother remained at Broken hills, using the abandon town as a temporary camp to scout the surrounding area. After a few months her work proved to be a success. She had discovered the routes of a raiders group that had come across a heavy surplus of energy weapons. Where the guns came from was a mystery but that didn't matter. Immediately after discovering the rather large group of raiders Kaiden's mother reported it to her elder. Upon receiving the information the elder ordered her squad to raid the groups base and confiscate the weapons.  The task was an obvious suicide mission at first glance, the elder didn't understand though. After hours of arguing about the situation Kaiden's mother was told she was to do as told or be banished. When the small four man squad reached the camp they did their best to sneak in and eliminate the raiders. The plan quickly fail when the raiders discovered them and the squad split up. Severely out numbered and with the raiders having energy weapons the squad fought to their last breath. In the end the mission was declared to dangerous to continue and the elder leading the mission ordered to lay low until further notice. The bunker's location is unknown and there is no current knowledge of the Battalions whereabouts.

With Kaiden's mother dead and his father left to take care of Kaiden all by himself it wasn't all bad. Well until Kaiden was about ten years old, when his father ended up falling into a gambling problem. Even when he was selling his chems and healing services Kaiden's father still ended up losing the money at the local casinos and street gamblers. This continued for another two years. Several weeks after Kaiden's birday his father was killed by local loan sharks. Now an orphan he was taken in by the Followers of the Apocalypse at the age of twelve. He continued to live there for four years, both studying medicine and science during his stay. After he was sixteen he left the Followers and began to make money on the streets by making bets on small street games and repairing weapons. While he was offering repairs for money he began to pick up on the workings of guns and started to tinker and modify them. He continued to still fix others guns for money but then he started to buy his own guns and fiddle with them until he knew them inside and out. Another year past before he decided to become one of the many bodyguards in Freeside. He didn't get picked as an escort due to his young age. Although when people did start to pick him he quickly made a name for himself and became a skilled and well known bodyguard. Kaiden continued to both repair guns and bodyguard for another year before leaving Freeside to check out the rest of the Wasteland.

Now seventeen years old Kaiden decided to move to New Reno. In the more wealthy town he started to get less and less repair and bodyguarding requests due to the lack of crime. So, Kaiden decided he would have to make money a different way. It took awhile for Kaiden to find a new profession but when he did he found out he was a natural. Kaiden began to make friends and eventually formed an idea to rob one of the Local Casinos. Using the his talents with a gun and computers he hacked the security systems and Kaiden along with his new found 'co-workers' started their raid on the Casino. After killing or containing all of the guards Kaiden and the rest of the robbers began to fill bags with chips and money until one of the citizens pulled a gun. Firing the .44 magnum revolver the man hit Kaiden on the left shoulder leaving a nasty wound. After hearing the shot one of the three other robbers shot the man and carried Kaiden out of the casino with the other two carrying bags of chips and money. The robbers quickly made their escape into the city sewers and laid low for the next month. 

With his share of the chips and money Kaiden decided to sell the chips in bulk to locals before running back to the strip. Buying his way into the strip the proud robber began to watch and partake in gambling. He lost a little less then half of the spoils before winning most of it back and a then some. With the rumors of his wealth and talk of him being one of the robbers in New Reno he quickly got on the NCR's 'wanted list'. After being chased out off the strip by the NCR he moved into one of the abandon buildings out of the city and took up shelter. This didn't stop the handsomely payed troopers from tracing him down. With Kaiden and the troopers butting head time and time again the NCR finally decided to give up and sent just one unarmed scout. While Kaiden was suspicious he let the trooper talk. Hours passed before the scout and Kaiden had an agreement and Kaiden was escorted to Camp McCarran. There he was given an offer not only to get paid but to get his robbery charges drop. Accepting the contract Kaiden was sent to assassinate a Moderately ranked Legion member. With his long ranged weapon and scope Kaiden quickly finished the job without a scratch on him. Although he wasn't hurt his scope took a blow from one of the Legions Machetes, cracking it. 

With his record cleaned of all offenses Kaiden continued to accept contracts from anyone with enough caps to pay for his services. It didn't matter who they were raiders, criminals, chem addicts, local towns or even just an average man seeking revenge. Falling on from hard times in his line of work due to lack of contracts he has started to reach out to the two other big factions. Not able to get in touch with any of the Brotherhood's elders or get near any of the Legion without them wanting to gut him for entertainment. Kaiden is now only getting a few jobs to escort a chem deal or sell them himself. With the trouble of scrapping the bottom of the barrel it looks like their is no other choice but to try the NCR again. Not wanting to side with them he is still trying to reach one of the other factions or devote himself to a large raider group or a wealthy town.
