personality
LIKES: Rom-Coms, Being around friends, French food, and Writing
DISLIKES: Deceptive people, his motives being questioned, and arguing
DREAMS: To find friends and family to surround himself with. He wants to feel like he will never be left alone again
FEARS: Abandonment, rejection, being deceived by those he is closest to, letting himself go.
Hayden tries to be nice to everyone he meets. He wants to surround himself with friends and people that he can trust and rely on. However, once he does become close with someone, he is loyal to a fault. Hayden sees it as never wanting to do something to hurt his friends, but others call it naivete. Of course, when someone deceives him there are no second chances. In Hayden's mind, there is no way to earn trust back, and if you break his trust you are no longer in his life. This means that anyone who seems like they could hurt or deceive him gets the cold shoulder. The other major flaw of Hayden is that he can doubt himself at almost every turn, needing constant affirmation that what he's doing is right. This can make it difficult to make hard decisions because he's really not sure what he's doing is right.

background
Hayden was born in small town USA, but his life was anything but peaceful. His dad, Jackson Matthews, met Aphrodite on a trip to France. that was really all Hayden ever found out about his parent's relationship. Of course, after he had been born his mother had left. It really did destroy his dad, he never found out she was a goddess and took her leaving as rejection. His father quickly became depressed, but was able to hold it together for a while. Towards the time Hayden entered middle school, his dad fell apart. Their family owed thousands to debt collectors and there was no way out of it. One day the collectors cam to their house and took Hayden's dad away, never to be seen again. Hayden was 15 at the time, but he could survive on his own. High School was a challenge, but with the combination of average intelligence and Charmspeak he passed. Working three jobs every day was emotionally draining, but necessary. Hayden knew that if he could get through that, then he could survive anything.
When everything seemed just fine is when they came to take him to camp. A satyr showed up at his school in Florida and quickly spotted that he could "sweet talk" his teachers into giving him better grades. The satyr told him about camp. Hayden had nothing to lose. Why not? He was 17 and once again his life was turned on it's head and he had to learn to adapt. With his childhood being such a mess, and with no real family to hang on to, Hayden became attached to his friends and social life. Some would say overly so. It was how he filled the void his family left. Unlike his dad, Hayden was determined to go about his problems the right way. To some people his puppy like loyalty and attachment is a fatal flaw, others would take advantage of it, and some really appreciate it. that's why his biggest fear is losing friends. Without them, he's just another orphaned demigod. The war happened two years after Hayden arrived at camp. It truly did destroy him. As a child of Aphrodite he felt useless at fighting even though everyone says love and war go hand in hand. The war left him feeling confused about how to carry on in life. Knowing that everything you love can be taken away and there's nothing you can do about it. Hayden started venturing outside of Camp more often, wanting to be more connected to the outside world. That's why he became a waiter, more interaction with humans and his bubbly personality could get him more tips.

POWERS & ABILITIES
[CHARMSPEAK] This power is one of Hayden's favorites, he developed it from a young age to get what he wanted. It was really one of the only constants in his life, the only reason he could survive. While Hayden tries to only use the power when necessary, sometimes it's a little tempting to sugar coat his speech to get what he wants. However, his eternal loyalty means that he would never charmspeak a friend.
[DESIRE MANIPULATION] As a kid, Hayden had a few run ins with Police and the such wondering where his parents really were. They couldn't be out of the country or in the office all the time, could they? It didn't matter though, because suddenly, said officer felt very hungry...
