When Caspian was born he was a sweet and kind Kalon. He was very outgoing and a complete gentleman to others. He loved to be around other Kalon’s and was a social butterfly. He wasn’t afraid to put himself out there and didn’t have a care in the world for what others thought of him. But after he came home from the war, Cas’ friends found that he was an entirely different person. He was quiet; never a word passed his lips unless he was having a nightmare in his sleep. He became enraged quickly and was sent into a panic over little things like a slamming door or a loud shout. His time on the battlefield had changed him into a mute and cold man, with a mask over his emotions.
Caspian went mute from the trauma of the war. He became a recluse and tended to avoid everyone. On the first day of his return home, Cas locked himself in his apartment and didn’t come out for three weeks. When someone finally coaxed him out, he was immediately put in therapy. He still didn’t talk but he interacted more with the people around him. He began listening to what others were saying and tried to get better. But he still isn’t the same and it tends to scare off a lot of people when he doesn’t talk or when he has an attack.
Caspian is known to be very observant. A trait he gathered from the war and from being a quiet, introverted person. He is always watching the going ons around him. He tends to be tenser when surrounded by a lot of people and he doesn’t feel safe in large crowds. He has an urgent need to protect his loved ones and can’t stand it when he’s unable to guard them.
Caspian is a very thoughtful Kalon. He always does sweet and selfless things for no reason. He likes to make others happy and see them smile; it’s a small side-effect of his need to protect everyone he loves. He’s very caring and gentle with those he considers his responsibility and surprisingly he gives pretty good advice. For being such a young Kalon he has a wise, old soul. Maybe he was born like that or maybe it came from the experiences he’s had, but he’s definitely smarter than his years. He always knows the right thing to do or ‘say’ when someone is upset or in trouble. He also doesn’t judge others for their actions and is a great listener. He wouldn’t care if you’d murdered someone before or overdosed on drugs, so long as you were trying to change.
The one thing that relaxes Cas is baking. It’s simple and very straightforward. With baking you’re in control of what goes in the cake and the outcome of it. He likes that he can be creative with his baking when he’s feeling crazy and he also likes that he can follow guidelines when he’s feeling lost. Baking helps take his mind off of things as he can only focus on his ingredients and the people working beside him. It’s a hobby he uses to distract himself from the things in his head. Baking is also a topic he’s comfortable talking about; on a piece of paper of course. It’s a safe and normal thing and he’s actually very passionate about it. He loves using his friends as test tasters for his new pastries and breads and it’s the one thing that makes him feel like he can function as part of society.
Despite this Caspian does have one major flaw; he isn’t in control of himself anymore. His time out in the field has caused a few mental disorders, the biggest one? Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. He has trouble sleeping right at night and functioning during the day. He has nightmares and usually he won’t go to sleep unless he has too. The sound of a firework can send him to the ground, shaking and sweating as he relives his nightmares from the war. He still loses control of himself sometimes and will attack the Kalons around him as if they were soldiers across the lines. He ashamed of it and after he’s had an attack, he’ll lock himself away in his apartment for days until someone coaxes him out. After so many attacks Cas began to isolate himself from everyone, he’s scared he will hurt someone severely one day. He isn’t in control of his body, and he hates that others are scared of him. But he understands it. Even Caspian is scared of himself.

Twenty-four years ago, July 1st, Caspian was born. He was a rather big kit compared to his siblings and a lot more outgoing than the rest of the band. He grew up in a normal family for the first few years of his life. Picnics, family game night, the whole white picket fence kind of thing. He was coming up on his fourteenth birthday when suddenly everything changed. He was staying over a friend’s house for the night when he got a call on his phone. His parents and siblings had been caught in a disaster. The bridge they were crossing while driving home had collapsed when a cable broke. For hours’ police searched for survivors but they were few and far between. And none of those that got out alive were Cas' family.
An orphan now Caspian was put in foster care immediately. But no one wants a fourteen-year-old kit when they can have a newborn. He was passed from foster home to foster home for the next two years of his life. He was sixteen when someone decided to take him in. He lived with his adopted father for the next two years of his life. They ended up having a close relationship despite a rusty start. Although they were more like close friends than father and son. When Cas turned eighteen and got out of school, he enlisted in the army. He went through a year of intense training before he finally graduated from a citizen to a soldier. He worked in the Infantry Division for the next five years. He witnessed many of his friend’s deaths and he obtained many scars during his time on active duty. It changed him mentally too, making him wary of anyone he saw. He got nervous around people and started to carry a weapon on him at all times, just in case. What he never expected was, that he would be the one to cause harm.
He had been sitting in a café with a few of his army friends when someone knocked a chair over. The loud sound sent him back to the times when he was on the front, in the line of fire. His body fell to the ground, shaking and thrashing. Cas remembers the whole thing, the look of fear on people faces as he screamed out names of those he fought beside. He remembers lashing out at a girl who had tried to help calm him down. He remembers shoving her onto the floor and trying to attack her whiles his friends held him back. He came back to himself only a few minutes later, but he was changed. Caspian, traumatized by the situation, refused to say anything and hasn’t since then. Word of the attack got back to his superiors and they forced him to become a reserve soldier.
He went back to a semi-normal life in a city, miles away from his childhood home. He got a job at Willows bakery and has been working there for a few months’ now. He was given a therapist but hasn’t gone to see them. He knows he’s getting worse but he refuses to face his reality. He lost touch with a lot of his friends when they went back to active duty and he is rarely seen now these days. He stays tucked inside his house, hiding from the world.

❀
There are few things in this world that I can control
For one I can control what I want to bake
I can control the way I wear my hair
And I can control the clock that helps me wake
But I cannot control the demons that plague my mind
I am not in control of myself when they attack
I am not in control of the things I say or do
And I definitely can’t fight back
Or maybe it’s just that I don’t want too
Maybe it’s simple and I’m too tired to try
People say I need to talk about it
But I’d rather just say goodbye
It’s easier that way
To not say a word and leave the people behind
I’m not fit for society anymore
I am not in control of my mind

Willow is Caspian's co-worker and boss. He works at the bakery she owns and has been working there for a few months now. They have a sister-brother like relationship. Willow always pokes and teases Cas and Cas always plays tricks on her but in the end they're always there for each other.

I glared at the wall across my bedroom. Somnus was sleeping quietly next to me, hogging all the pillows on the bed. I smiled softly down at my best friend, the only one who understood me. I rolled my eyes as he tried to bury himself beneath the covers to hide from the light. The sun was rising and I hadn’t slept an hour, too scared of my own nightmares to give in to the need to rest. Yawning loudly I brushed my hair back from my face and slowly slid out of bed. Stumbling around in the subtle light, I pulled on casual clothes and threw my hair up in a bun before heading outside. I needed a coffee and Somnus would murder me if I didn’t have one waiting for him. He tends to be grumpy in the mornings.
Shoving my hands in the pockets of my sweatshirt, I blew out a chilly breath. I hurried down the street, huddling into my hoodie until I got to Main Street. Looking around I turned into a small bakery, the smell luring me in. I pushed open the door, snorting lowly at the cliché sound of a bell announcing my arrival. Letting the door close slowly I made my way up to the counter with long, confident strides. I flinched slightly as a woman came out of nowhere.
“Hi! What can I get ya?” She asked in a spritely manner.
I chewed on my lip as I looked at the choices displayed inside glass cases. I raised my eyes to catch the woman’s attention and then pointed at one of the chocolate doughnuts. I watched patiently as she nodded and started for the pastry with plastic gloved hands.
“Not much of a talker are ya? That’s okay I can do the talking if you like.” She chattered on as she pulled my breakfast out and bagged it.
I nodded once to sate her and pulled out a five to pay her. I started to raise my hand to wave off the change when she darted to the back.
“I’ll get your change for you sir! Just give me one second!” She called back as she bustled away.
Sighing I turned and sat down at a small table near the counter. Looking around I quickly realized that this shop must be new. Shrugging I bit into my doughnut, moaning a little at the awesome taste of it.
“Good aren’t they?” A voice said surprisingly close to my ear.
