BIO

Amelia Shaw and her husband tried to have a child together for many years. Even with fertility treatment, they never succeeded. Desperation was .. definitely growing with every failed try, which caused for the couple to struggle quite a bit. Both wanted nothing more than to be a family, which made a woman's offer all the more ... tempting.

At the time, Frank didn't know who exactly he had willfully agreed to procreate with, but .. it was that chance or giving up his marriage. He chose marriage and Amelia did, too, despite knowing the child would not biologically be hers. It wouldn't matter, would it?

Jayden Shaw was born during a pitch black night at the Shaw estate, both Amelia and Frank working good jobs, they lived a comfortable life and their child would want for nothing. Or so they thought. But it's never quite as easy, is it?

It wasn't like Jayden was an unhappy child, he wasn't, but he also wasn't the content ray of sunshine his parents expected. Always a little on the darker side, but they never really worried. Not all children were the same and they knew that a lot could change as he grew up.

His powers manifested at the age of fourteen, which was the beginning of a very enlightening era in Jayden's life. He'd always felt somewhat out of place in a mundane human family and now... he knew why. He enjoyed his summers in camp, practicing his magic, reading up, experimenting. It was magical, literally.

Another passion hobby Jayden picked up early on was music. His parents wanted him to learn how to play the piano, but when he got old enough to fight for what he wanted, he picked up the guitar, too. Piano was not what he wanted, but a compromise was the best he got at the time. Youtube was the trend at the time, so - as one would, Jayden put up videos of him playing and covering his favorite songs regularly. So long as he kept up with school, his parents were on board.

When Jayden got found by a big label, he was more than eager to accept, but his parents .. refused, at first, but he always got what he wanted - one way or another. Again, a compromise was made. If we do this, you still need to finish school regardless of your success. He would've agreed to anything, even though he had no intention to keep up his end of the deal at the time.

And he took off, practically overnight.

He had the style, the voice, the attitude (at least on stage), the skills to be a one-man rockband (well, mostly) and that was about all that mattered. When school suffered regardless of his promise, his parents weren't happy at all, but by the time he turned sixteen, he got his agent to free him from their guardianship and managed to get Jayden his own apartment in Sydney, away from parents and potential negative old life influences.

Jayden... didn't exactly practice restraint. Scandals only fueled the image he created, so why bother? Sure, he never crossed a certain threshold, but other than that? Everything was free game. Relationships came and went, his outing in public was huge and of course used for marketing purposes, but he didn't mind too much. Even the newspapers tearing his recurring on-off relationship with a decently famous actor didn't create bad press for him. He was a rebel after all, a heartbreaker. Nobody had to know he hadn't been the one to end those relationships. And on top of that, the songs he wrote before and after possible break-ups sold better than any other songs ever could dream of. Their public cat and mouse game in-between clear denial of any relationship whatsoever kept the press on their toes at all times, again, no press was ever bad press.

Many thought that once he passed his twenties, he'd falter and drop, but he didn't. Global success and his very unique style kept him a top score for the time being. The only ...issue? The attacks were becoming more frequent. Staying in the same place for twenty years definitely didn't help hide him from the dangers he'd been told about in Camp. Jayden had been offered a place at camp many times before, but he'd never quite been ready to leave Australia behind.

But he could do music wherever he was and maybe being in the US would actually open new doors for him. So, just very recently - after the end of his current tour (an ode to the country he was born and shaped in), he packed up everything and moved his entire life to New York. Well, being closer to Camp Halfblood didn't really do him any good, so he ended up moving in.

Permanently?

Who could even tell?

But he had to admit being in a place where he could practice magic again... did sound quite alluring.
