Name: Cassius
Gender: Self-identifies as Male
Age: Unknown
Birthday: Unknown
Sexuality: Asexual
Special Characteristics:
✠ Cassius is a wraith and therefore possesses no natural, physical body. He is compensating for that fact by possessing items and armours, depending on the situation or the task at hand.
✠ Cassius can also, should he want to, manifest a physical form as he pleases, although that physical form will always be slightly translucent and cannot be anything complex such as an animal or a human, but can be something more simple like a shape or a shadow.
Personality:
Cassius is in many ways an oddity, sentient, yet incorporeal, possessing no actual physical body of his own, existing in a purely spiritual form that manifests in the physical plane through different means. Cassius himself, however, does still feel emotions, has a personality and holds opinions like everyone else, yet lacks a way to physically interact with the "real world", so to speak. Cassius is thus dependent on possessing items of various natures, controlling them with his spiritual energy and, in some cases, animating them. In short, Cassius is a wraith, a dark-natured ghost bound to the material world through some event in his past. What exactly this event was and how Cassius has come to exist as a wraith he doesn't know, though, while Cassius doesn't remember a lot of his previous state of existence, he strives to gather more information about his past self. In his new existence as a wraith, however, Cassius has developed a unique personality and some quirks, his intense desire to accumulate and collect items of all kinds, especially valuables, giving him a distinct drive, and he can be, at best, called strange in the expression of his self, oftentimes being seen as possessing a one-track mind when he sets his sights on something. Other than that, Cassius is a rather quiet individual, only speaking when he absolutely has to, keeping to himself as much as he can. His capacity for speech is also rather limited.
In and out of combat alike Cassius operates with absolute efficiency, wasting not a single breath or move when he doesn't have to or feels it is redundant. The wraith isn't one for showing off and will deal with opponents as quickly and as forcefully as possible, finishing every task he takes on with stoic precision and unfeeling, uncaring competence. Cassius does have little things he considers pleasures and pastimes in life, such as expanding the collection, and will generally focus on that and his work only, as those are the things that grant him purpose. Under a leader, Cassius will perform exactly as described before, following orders to the last detail and with absolute precision, under almost no circumstances questioning the given order, extremely unlikely to ever refuse one. As a leader, Cassius would, with as few words as possible, do what is necessary, not afraid to sacrifice for the sake of the "greater good". He wouldn't enjoy the role but would retain his efficiency, as he does under all circumstances.
Likes:
✠ Collecting: Cassius likes collecting the things that interest him, whatever that may be at the time. Weapons, armors, jewelry, everything he could potentially possess and use.
✠ Silence: Cassius is a being of very few words and will try to get every task done as quietly as possible. He cannot stand loud noises or people of the particularly loud or talktative kind.
✠ Work: Cassius is good at what he does. It gives him a sense of direction and purpose to his existence. Some work to live, but the wraith lives to work.
Dislikes:
✠ Busybodies: People who get involved in matters they do not understand or are none of their concern annoy the wraith to no end. People should stick to their own business.
✠ Self-righteousness: Similarly, people who act like they are a supreme instance of morality and justice anger him. Is nature evil for preferring the strong over the weak? Surely not.
✠ Humans: Through his work, Cassius has, in short, "seen some shit". Even for the wraith, humans make up the supreme instance of wrong and evil in the world, their ruthlessness unparalleled.
Motivations:
✠ Gold: Cassius cannot quite explain it himself, but for one reason or another, he has an unnatural affinity towards gold and all things valuable. He does, after all, enjoy the process of collecting, making him immensely greedy.
✠ Strength: The wraith desires to become stronger for the sake of exploring his limits, unaware of what all he can do with his supernatural power.
✠ Information: Cassius additionally doesn't know how or why he became an incorporeal being, nor does he remember anything from before. He desires more information about his past and his existence.
Fears:
✠ Restriction: Without purpose or direction, devoid of freedom, Cassius' existence has no meaning. If he isn't allowed to roam free, he doesn't exist. Simple as that.
✠ Weakness: Cassius' continued existence and purpose have always depended on his ability to fend for himself. His strength is vital to his life, and he will thus work on maintaining and expanding it as much as he can.
✠ Loss: He treasures his collections and his wealth above all else, having invested countless hours towards this pursuit of his. If there is one thing he truly is afraid of, it would be losing his collection.
