Basics:
Face Claim: Heath Ledger
Name: Kaiden Roemer
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Species: Celestial Witch
Height: 6'1
Fashion: Kaid likes his jeans and flannels. Wearing good work boots, he's a practical man who would fit right in in the northwest. He tends to wear t-shirts or buttons up, and has a bad habbit of smoking. He kepts a small knife clipped to his belt at all times and makes sure his shirts or jacket are long enough to cover it.
Physical Description:
Kaiden is a bit more larger than his twin brother in terms of height and body size. Where Kale has the lithe, athletic build, Kaiden has a taller, broader build with more muscle. He has shaggy dark hair, that often times turns to a lighter shade of brown in the summer, as the sun will almost bleach it. It has a mind of it's own with an almost untamable curl to it, and often times his bed head gives him a "mad scientist" look. He keeps a shortly groomed goatee most of the time, but also prefers a clean shaven face. Being that him and his brother are identical twins, they look strikingly a lot. However they do have their physical difference besides size. Unknown to Kaiden, Kale unfortunately received facial scars during his time with the mob. If you couldn’t tell them apart then, you can tell them apart now. The only facial scar Kaid has is a slight nic on one of his eyebrows.
Kaiden isn't without his other scars however. The palm of his right hand has a long diagonal scar down the middle of it. Looking like it was cut in some sort of ritual (it was), while his back also has what looks like lash marks. His chest is another story where he has the scars from something big and with claws that cover his upper abdomen and his lower left peck.
-Personality-
Description: Kaiden is quiet, but not at the least timid. He can be friendly when he wants to be, but he is usually a man of few words. He does not usually trust anyone at first. Being a creature of habit and his profession, he likes to hold people at arms distance until he can figure out if you're trustworthy or not. Believe it or not, Kaiden has more of a temper then his brother, and is quick to anger. He usually has to go cool his head off by hitting or destroying something. If he can, he'll use meditation to calm himself down. He has severe anger management issues, so he much prefers isolation. Especially when he's in one of his moods. (He blames the fact on being a scorpio).
He finds joy in the little things, and tries to focus on the everyday things instead of dwelling in his sad past. Kaid is quick to react in any situation and doesn’t like waiting. He’d rather do it now and think later, however given his magic, he's often forced to wait whether he likes it or not. The moment he can act, you can expect to move immediately and fast. He hates even wasting a second of whatever time he has to use his magic. If something doesn’t look right with the stars that night, he’ll be the first one to let you know. Saying he has a "gut feeling" about whatever he and his fellow hunters are working on, and that they should tread carefully, or be adamant they wait, or do it on specific days.
If you didn't know that Kaid was a Celestial witch, you would just assume he was highly superstitious or really into astrology. He often tells people he wanted to go into astrophysics before his hunting days, thus the reason why he's constantly looking to the sky. The real reason? He's looking for signs in the stars or sky, and is frequently using divination to read them.
Kaiden is a bit of a protector. He sees his younger twin brother as his responsibility, and wants nothing more for his brother to truly find happiness. As for himself, he had his chance at happiness, and it left him. Leaving a shell of the man he once used to be. He grieved and handled his life differently then his brother at the cruel fate he was handed. He's determined to find his brother after ten plus years of not seeing him, and hopes he can knock some sense into convincing him to help him save their family. With time starting to run out, Kaiden is desperate to find his brother at all cost.
Habits/Hobbies: He has the bad habit of telling his fellow hunters their horoscopes for the day and gives them warnings on what they should and shouldn't do. He refrains from saying "I told you so" when something unlucky happens to them. He meditates before bed so he can be more in tune to the planets.
Keeps a small pouch of moonrocks in various colors that uses to symbolize the planets and stars. He tends to dump them out on a surface when he's alone to see a visual representation of the planets alignments.
Kaid constantly is "re-juicing" the protective charms he's hidden in his companions belongings during a waxing crescent moon.
He keeps small vials of moon water in a rolled up leather pouch for his spells.
He smokes more frequently when he's agitated or stressed. Otherwise he likes his morning cigarette with black coffee and whatever newspaper he can get his hands on.
About once, every three months on a full moon, Kaiden will astral travel between worlds. When he comes back, he always appears to look like he has a heavy weight on his shoulders, or a look of desperation.
History: Kaiden was born to a witch mother and a human father. He was the oldest child, his twin brother Kale having been born a whole two minutes after him, and then four years later his sister Kiara being born. Unlike his sickly brother, Kaiden was the stronger and healthier twin. His brother Kale was at the mercy of multiple bullies, and growing up, Kaiden acted as his protector.
His mothers genes never showed themselves in him and Kaiden (or so he though), the two of them having taken after their dad and were plain Humans. Kiara on the other hand was an exceptionally talented witch, and had become a sort of herbalist. She’d showed him some tricks as they grew up for natural remedies and how to just be more spiritual in general. He was fourteen when his dad died of a heart attack, and it forced the Roemer’s to grow up quickly to help their mom who had to work full time as a nurse.
It was his senior year of Highschool when the bullies went too far. Growing up in Northern California there was multiple small forests and as part of a hazing ritual for the football team, as Kale had desperately wanted to join, he found his twin hogtied and abandoned out in the woods for nearly two weeks. The prank had backfired on the boys, not realizing that they’d left Kale in the woods with a literal mad man. Or should we say….the big bad wolf?
In that two week span, Kaiden had done his best in helping with the search parties and being the rock his mother and sister needed. He beat the shit out of the boy who was responsible for putting Kale in those woods, and to this day, curses his name. For if not for him, then maybe his brother would still be around and not the man he is today.
When Kale finally emerged from the woods, and announced he'd been turned into a werewolf, Kaiden felt his whole world shift. The brother he once knew was no more. He was confident, in control, and had a personal vendetta to get back at those that had ever wronged him. Kaiden had hoped the power that being a werewolf gave him wouldn't go to his head, but it had. For once, Kale was the stronger brother, and he didn't let Kaid forget it.
After the twins graduated, Kale left home. It was the last time Kaiden had seen his brother. At first he felt nothing but anger, and relief. A bit of bitterness that his brother had let what he had become change him. Eventually, it turned loneliness, as the bond they shared as twins made him miss his brother more then he imagined. They received post cards from Kale in his adventures, but it wasn't enough. It was his twentieth birthday when Kaid's world changed yet again and found he found his gaze drifting towards the night sky. It was during a full moon, and the moonlight circled around him as if by magic. Because it was.
He felt that powerful energy around him, and given his mother and sister were witches, he had his hunch. After speaking with his mother, he later learned he was a late bloomer. A male witch himself, he was taken aback by it considering they were a bit rare. According to his mother, he was a celestial witch. One that could read the stars and planets, and use that energy to fuel his will.
She failed to mention how mentally exhausting it could be. Despite the struggles he faced at first, his mother taught him what she could, and he learned how to control it and use it to his advantage. As the years progressed, and there was still no sign of Kale, Kaiden had wondered what life had for him next. It wasn't until one night, when he saw something in the sky that startled him. Venus and Mars had shifted, and Kaiden saw something he didn't dare believe. The thing about the stars, they're always right.
The Grey woman came in a cloud of smoke. Tall, willowly, with long ashen colored hair and the darkest blue eyes, that they looked nearly black. She was the most beautiful woman Kaiden had ever laid eyes on. A witch herself, Eleanor Gauffin proved to be the biggest challenge he hadn't been expecting. She was eccentric and endearing, and the sea witch had trapped him in her sights unintentionally. Just as the stars had predicted it, the two had fallen. What the stars hadn't told them, they were expecting.
Caught off guard by the news, the two started to plan for a wedding. The wedding was set to be on the 21st of December. The longest night. The Roemer's Coven had planned the whole thing, months of preparation were in place, and it was nearly at Eleanor's due date. The only thing missing? The best man. Of course Kaiden wanted his brother there, but they were unable to track him. By Kale's will or another, no amount of tracking spells could reveal the wayward son. So, Kaiden had come to terms with the fact his brother wasn't going to be at his wedding.
The ceremony had proceeded as planned, however before the vows could officially be made they were interrupted. A coven from Eleanor's past seemed to not want her to have her happily ever after. And with Venus, came Mars.... The wedding had fallen under attack. The one night where Kaiden needed his strength, his magic would not come to him. Members from both covens fell, and in a desperate attempt to save his mother, sister, and bride, Kaiden had screamed to the moon goddess to save them.
To his astonishment, she'd answered his pleas. But there was a catch. For the type of magic he needed, came at a price. They would be saved, however they were bound to sleep. Kaiden watched as the day that was supposed to be his happiest, turned into the worst day of his life. Having no choice but to accept, his family fell into their deep slumber.
His fury knew no bounds after that, as he wrecked havoc on those that had dared ruin his wedding day. Eleanors past had caught up with her, and to this day Kaiden still doens't understand why. After the wedding, those that had lived, tried to help him figure out a way to wake his family up. All their attempts fell in vain, and it wasn't until the Coven leader had a glimpse at them that they knew how to even break the goddess's spell.
The answer would be in the stars, on the day when Gemini shone brightest, and a blood moon filled the sky. It had been Kaiden's love that set them to slumber, and it would take another act of love to awaken them. Until then. They would be forever between realms. Neither dead, nor alive. If they didn't awaken by the date the moon goddess had set, then they would never wake up, and instead slip into eternal slumber. At first, Kaiden didn't believe it. But he learned you never doubted the stars. He would need his brother.
Kaiden soon left home, after taking care of his family and leaving them in the hands of a keeper, he set off after his brother. Kaiden found the only way to find his brother was to join those that were the best at hunting mythics without supernatural means. Becoming a hunter was not something he ever planned on doing, but it was a necessary thing. He's hidden the fact he's a witch, and over the years soon found his own hunting partners by way of the Graves brothers, and a young woman named Jenna. He's kept his past a secret, and has no intention of telling them unless it becomes necessary. He's come to care about the other hunters as a second family. As far as they know, Kaiden is hunting his werewolf brother to bring him home and to possible put him "down" if need be.
Kaiden's time to find Kale is slowly beginning to run out. With the Blood Moon coming up in six months, Gemini will be at it's brightest. He only hopes he can convince his brother to help him. If not for him, for their sister.

Secret: Kaiden is a hunter that is secretly a Celestial Witch. He's hiding the fact he's a mythic from his partners for not only their safety but for his own. Several years ago, the moon goddess put his sister, mother, and bride into a deep sleep. Essentially freezing them in time to protect them from the attack of another coven. He astral projects every three months into the in-between to see them, and to tell them he's trying. On the night of a blood moon, with the constellation gemini is strongest, if an act of love isn't performed then Kaiden's family will never wake up and eventually die.
