Physical Description
Much as he might wish to, Kaidyn has never exactly been the kind of person to "blend in": quite aside from his height and the general bulk of his frame, he's always been a little...eye-catching, especially against the typical grays and browns of Haviah's architecture, what with the bright red hair and red-violet eyes.
Despite this, Kaidyn is a surprisingly approachable person, with a relatively easy smile and a face that has been generally described on more than one occasion as "kind" if not necessarily conventionally "handsome". He is rarely seen out of uniform, but when he is he tends to dress in nondescript, comfortable attire in monotone colors.
Personality
As it was to many, the Pilot Candidacy program was not kind to Kaidyn, though it shows itself surprisingly rarely. For the most part, though he can be a little stoic, he's actually quite soft and friendly, if given the chance.
This is not to say that he's naive or a pushover, however. Kind people are not born that way--they are forged in adversity with a core of steel, and Kaidyn exemplifies it well. He turned his energy toward making an effort to be kind after the abuses he suffered as a Candidate, rather than pass the abuse on.
Magic/Abilities
Like all Pilots, Kaidyn is a psychic. Other than that, he really doesn't think he has any particular special abilities, outside of what he learned or was beaten into him through Candidacy.
Of course, this isn't exactly true. All of Mother's children are extraordinary, in their own ways (or rather the ways she made them to be so); for Kaidyn, that means a strange and delicately balanced push-and-pull with some latent genetics. Back when dragons were still fully biological creatures, they sometimes crossbred with other races: many, many, many generations down the line, Kaidyn was born with dormant draconic heritage.
Not even Mother is entirely sure what he will be able to do with the cocktail of magic and science she used to both awake and then subsequently repress these genes, but Kaidyn tends to run a little...hot.
Relationships
Born and raised in Haviah's lowest levels, Kaidyn has never really had much family to speak of.
Perhaps surprisingly, his closest and--strangely--most fulfilling relationship is with the dragon who chose him at the age of eighteen, a silver and gray creature called Viirys with an amalgam of scales and biomechanical metal plating covering his body, as well as one fully cybernetic front leg on the right side, and a small, blue reactor core embedded in his chest.
Viirys treats Kaidyn with a surprising amount of respect and, rarely, even affection. A dragon's affection is a strange and difficult thing, of course, but Kaidyn does appreciate it when it happens.
History
Kaidyn was born a street urchin, and as such never really had many close relationships growing up, or even too much of a concern save for survival from day to day--Mother didn't really see much need to keep Kaidyn with her after her enhancements were made, so she simply dumped him back where she'd found him on the streets of Haviah, memories of his brief time in her lab completely blanked.
So perhaps it was by design, but as far as Kaidyn is concerned he was recruited to the Candidate program seemingly by sheer luck at the age of thirteen, when an attempt to pick someone's pocket got him caught by an off-duty Pilot.
Kaidyn advanced through the stages of Candidacy quickly, and made Pilot at the age of eighteen. He has only been a Pilot Echo for several months.
