History

Birth country: Australia
Hometown: Orange
Childhood: Hayden's mother died when he was very young, young enough that he cannot remember her. Since then he's been raised by just his father. He was put into swimming classes at a young age, as well as mixed martial arts, and often taken to an activity centre/daycare double when his father had to work. His father also liked taking Hayden camping and teaching him survival skills. Hayden found himself to be fairly good at sports but most comfortable in the water. He was known to be fairly popular. From a young age, he would watch sports and especially mass scale competitions such as the Olympics on TV and the internet. He tended to idolise professional athletes.
Teen years: Though he is an active person overall, high levels of fatigue began to set in, at this point caused by the vitamin deficiency, the effects of which caused him to get a reputation as a lazy and unreliable person. It was around this time that he developed his mother hen type attitude or at the very least started to strongly display it. Hayden took part in school sports clubs and remained fairly popular despite the poorer parts of his rep. He had little idea what he wanted to do with his future and primarily decided to just play to his strengths and see what he could manage. His father tried to lead him down a specific career path, but with little success, as said career path required Hayden to be skilled with school subjects he simply couldn't get his head around. Upon realising his chronic fatigue was likely caused by a medical problem, Hayden tried to bring it up with his father, only to be brushed off. At some point, he decided to follow his idols and become an athlete, or at least try to. His father helped him find a swimming coach that might be able to help him on the appropriate path. After taking part in school competitions, Hayden was offered a sports scholarship at the same university Rin Matsuoka attended.
Adult years: Hayden attends the aforementioned university and befriends Rin, Ezra and Alison. When, in the piece Hayden was created for, he and Alison lose contact with both Rin and Ezra, Hayden tries and fails to contact Rin again, and tries (and fails) to prevent Alison from jumping to conclusions. He appears in a (currently unfinished) story where he is one of the two of Rin's Australian friends that meet Haru when Rin and Haru visit Australia a few years later. He spends most of this time keeping Alison under control. Hayden is not seen in any piece I have planned beyond this. However, as an adult, he does manage to go see a doctor about his health complaints. He is known to be highly supportive of his friends' goals, especially Alison and Rin's drive to become Olympic swimmers, but gives up on the same goal after developing severe and chronic back pain in his 20's, the cause of which is currently unknown and which is currently not successfully managed.
Past places of residence: None known

Any enemies (and why): Hayden doesn't really consider anyone to be an enemy, but he sure as hell hates his Year 7 Maths teacher, and his Year 8 French teacher. They were nasty.
