» OVERALL PERSONALITY:
Cadan is the type of guy that kind of just fades into the background most of the time, and that is usually fine with him. He is very friendly and approachable but he can be a little shy and awkward sometimes. When he is comfortable around people, like his family and fellow Warblers, he comes out of his shell but otherwise he tends to be quiet. He lacks the confidence to be outgoing and really shine. Cadan is extremely loyal to his friends and will listen to them anytime they need to vent or ask advice or even just someone to talk too. But when it comes to expressing his own feelings, he doesn't do so well. He usually keeps them bottled up and if he does choose to reveal them he usually ends up stuttering and making a fool out of himself.

Cadan wouldn't really call himself intelligent, but he is smart for the most part. He is particularly good at English and history but he struggles with math, it never was his best subject. When it comes to love, he has had a few flings, nothing serious, and his fair share of crushes but he has never had a serious relationship. He considers one of his biggest weaknesses that he falls too easily for people. It never ends well when that happens and Cadan is always the one getting his heart broken. Since he kind of flies under the radar a lot of the time, he hasn't really made a lot of enemies. He doesn't like to make them either but when you're gay; they kind of seek you out. Obviously being at Dalton helps, but they're still around and Cadan just tries to ignore them and not draw attention to himself.

» HISTORY:
Born on Febuary 28th, Cadan James was born to two teenagers who were in no way ready to raise a baby and promptly handed over to his adoptive parents, Mason and Layla Harper. Joining Liam, who was six at the time and also adopted, he was the second child to join the family. His parents never tried to hide anything for him and when he was old enough to understand the situation; they sat him down and fully explained everything to him, answering any questions he had about his adoption and biological parents as best they could. He took everything in stride, although having an older brother who also went through the same thing also helped him comes to terms with it, and never seemed to harbor any resentment towards his biological parents. He understood where they were coming from and believed they did what was best. Even though he is perfectly happy with the family he has, he sometimes wonders what it would be like to meet his biological parents, just to see what they're like and if he looks like them or if they have anything in common despite not having contact at all throughout his life.

When he was eleven, his parents sat him and Liam down to explain that they would be adopting another boy. This time they went with an older kid, believing that it wasn't fair for older kids to sit in foster care until they age out because everyone wants babies. Nolan was six at the time of his adoption and came from an abusive home. It took him some time to adjust but once he did, he took a liking to Cadan especially and to this day, the two of them are very close. Three years after Nolan joined the family, Layla found out she was pregnant with twins. And when Cadan was fourteen, the family welcomed kids number four and five, Olivia and Grace. With five kids and a dog, it was a full house but Cadan wouldn't have wanted it any other way. They fight and argue just like any other family, but his family is very important to him and Cadan loves them more than anything.

Cadan's love of performing started just about the same time he learned how to walk and talk, as soon as he got those two things down, he would sing and dance (or attempt too) around to his father's old records. When he was a little older, his grandparents would even hype him up on sweets and let him stand on top of the coffee table singing his lungs off, while they filmed him, until he finally crashed from the sugar high. He's sure those videos still exist somewhere, not that they would allow them to be seen by anybody, talk about embarrassing. Cadan had other hobbies throughout the years and still does, like skateboarding and painting, but nothing compared to the thrill of performing.

When he started at Dalton Academy, he was in awe of their glee club. He thought the Warblers were the best thing he had seen in all his fourteen years but wasn't confident enough to audition. After attending every Warbler performance his freshman year, he knew he would regret it if he didn't audition. The summer leading up to his second year at Dalton, he practiced like crazy, determined to nail his audition. In the end it didn't go as well as he wanted it too, but they obviously saw something they liked because he was accepted and he was ecstatic, not only was he able to do what he loved but he met a bunch of guys who would soon become his second family.

» RP SAMPLE:

After everything that had gone on in the last week, Owen had taken to sleeping a lot. He was just waking up from his afternoon nap when he got a text from Charlie saying she wanted to talk to him in person. He sighed in relief, he wasn't exactly sure what she needed to ask him, but that didn't matter. He was just happy she wanted to see him.

He threw off his covers and slid out of bed. He wanted to get over there as soon as possible, so he opted out of taking a shower but he changed clothes since his current ones were all wrinkled from being slept in. After changing he looked out the window, noticing it looked a bit chilly out, and grabbed a sweater out of his closet before heading downstairs. He stopped behind the couch to slip on his shoes. His sister was lying on the couch watching some cheesy horror movie and he leaned over to tell her where he was going. She ignored him, like he figured she would, but he knew she heard him.

He grabbed his keys out of the basket and walked down the driveway to his car. He blasted his music loudly all the way to Charlie's house, hoping it would distract his mind from thinking too much about what was going to happen once he got there. His heart was beating fast as he pulled into her driveway and turned off the engine. He sat in the car for a couple minutes, trying to calm down.

Eventually he got the nerve to get out of the car and walk up to the door. He stopped, not sure what to do next. Normally he would just walk in, but he wasn't sure if that was appropriate now. He knocked on the door first and after hearing nothing he opened it and walked in.

He walked through the house until he found her. Standing in the doorway, he wasn't really sure what to do. 'Hey, babe.' He paused, not sure if he should be calling her that. This was weird; he didn't like this awkward feeling. They were best friends, things were supposed to be easy with them. But of course, he had to go and mess everything up and now he wasn't sure how he was supposed to act around her.
