For that you can create the aspect which will contains the set of your custom properties.
then attach that aspect to the person object.

You can do it by changing content model.
But it is advisable to not to change the OOTB content model.

hi,
you should add/use an aspect if you'd like to have custom properties on your person objects…& that implies adding a custom content model
What's your usecase?
cheers, jan
