Appearance:
"You can't seriously be blaming me? I didn't even- oh the fire lit nicely."
With wavy brown hair and golden highlights, he has a boyish charm in his features and a mischievous gleam shining in his eyes. His locks are messy and long enough to have to be pushed out of his face when it falls down. He progressively has started to develop an unconscious habit to brush his hair back or run a hand through his hair to avoid it bothering his eyes. Cassian’s skin color is a golden tan color, relatively daker. His eyes are a warm amber, lighter than his skin color, giving him an odd look that isn’t the most noticeable, but still there. His pupils are dark, being contrasting to his lighter eyes. Cassian has sharp and angled eyebrows, trained for flirtatious add-ons and exaggerated, theatrical expressions. His eyelashes are curled and rather long, though they always fall into his eyes. At this point, his irritation has reached the point in which he wishes to cut them to half of their current length.
This smug lad stands at a moderate height of about 6 foot, or about 182.9 cm. He has an athletic body shape, and is well-built. Usually, Cassian’s body language is dull and muted, but commonly, he’ll be extremely expressive in his actions to disguise whatever he actually is feeling. He feels pressured to be either incredibly sarcastic, or incredibly energetic as his reactions to everything.
A silver necklace with an anchor on it is constantly worn by Cassian, something that was previously, constantly worn by of his siblings. His older brother, the eldest of all the siblings, who wasn’t educated well, but had a heart of gold. He also wears his prized, and rather worn, fingerless gloves as well as his three, favorite gold rings, almost constantly. His fingerless gloves are a black leather, fitted around his wrist by silver buckles.
His hands are flexible, and his fingers are relatively long. He has an odd fear of wearing things over his fingers, which is why he prefers fingerless gloves over other kinds. His lips are moderately sized and pint-tinted. Cassian’s teeth are sharp and white, as sanitary was something his family shoved upon him constantly as one of the biggest rules in the household. Cassian likes to, when he gets bored, which is a very common occurrence, likes to chew on things, especially bread. He really likes bread. If not, he’ll just chew on his lip, or find a piece of dried fruit or meat. Just something to bite, even possibly just eating out of boredom.
Personality:
"What, scared of a little darkness and cold?"
He is one of the most competitive people, as well as one of the most difficult ones as well. Cassian is incredibly flirtatious, though the effect is dampened by his snarky sarcasm. In a lot of cases, it’s more of his charm that he relied on to hide his anxiety in social interactions, but at this point in his life, he’s begun to lean more heavily on his scorn and arrogance. Of course, though, habits are hard to die. Interestingly enough, Cassian is an intelligent individual with a rather great memory. He finds it odd to have the talent, and hides his decent memory by only showcasing it when necessary or with random facts so others think he just has an affinity with random tidbits. Though he’s boastful, he doesn’t seem to like his affinity with memories that imbed themselves into his mind.
As a person with a rather cracked humor, he laughs at some of the absolute worst times. His laughter is usually a practiced snort, arrogant and lazy. Of course, there are some jokes that make him completely wheeze out every last one of his breaths out of amusement. When he doubles over with humor, he either laughs silently, or snickers mockingly, though he tries to stop it as soon as he can. Laughter to him is generally considered a weakness. Showing too much emotion is a weakness. His smiles are shark-like and warm at the same time, a little curve at the edge of his lips. A scornful smirk, practiced and perfected to the point is one of his most common reactions, as are dry, sarcastic remarks.
He can be a thoughtful individual, what with his memory and occasionally using it as a sort of useful thing. He doesn’t like taking credit for doing thoughtful and considerate things. It shows emotion, and therefore, weakness. It also broadcasts a weakness that someone could use as an advantage over him. His charm is useful for meeting new people and getting on their good sides, but he’d much prefer to make them see him as a useless, cocky brat, because if they have high expectations, he has to meet said expectations, which is also why he loathes expectations and standards he has to meet.
His fascination with history is expressed a lot in his factual tidbits, and his fascination with fire can be seen in some of his dark humor jokes, or his expression when he messes around with the box of matches he hides in one of his many pockets in his pants. He can be found watching common crows and pigeons. He hopes to have one of the birds as a companion, which could be found useful, especially since the two birds are commonly found in large groups. They’re also uncannily gorgeous.
