(Ignore 'species'; he's human for this RP)
Name: Caine Williams
Age: 26
Gender: Male (he/him)
Hometown: TBD/potentially Famine
Appearance: He's 26 and male. He's a very rugged looking guy, probably a five o'clock clock shadow (no mustache or beard past that) with dirty blond hair. It's ratty, almost strawlike, and usually tied into a messy man bun in the back with many strands of hair hanging loosely.
He's a bit thin, a bit muscled in the chest/arms, but noticeably short. He has pointy or sharp facial features, 'foxlike' really, with tired eyes, likely bags underneath them. He has scars beneath his eyes, lines that curve horizontally beneath them, almost a decade old. His inner arms are also lined with old scars, also faded.
He has an overall masculine feel and look to him, wearing loose but comfortable clothing like buttoned ups with the sleeves rolled up messily while unbuttoned, skinny jeans or jeans with damage (ripped because of his lifestyle, not designer ripped jeans) and an overall "I live on the streets but I'm trying not to look like I do" style.
He's got a punk attitude usually, or a quietly paranoid sort of vibe. He's a very troubled kid.
He has dirty blond hair that is almost strawlike in consistency and colour, a frizzy mess that he does little to care for normally. His hair cane be short and swept back or it can be tied back in a messy bun or tie, depending on length, with strands hanging in his face no matter how he tries to control it.
Eyes are a dull pink, dark and emotional.
Personality:
- Blunt: Caine does not know the definition of subtlety. He is not afraid to speak his mind, for better or for worse.
- Bold: There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity, both of which Caine has plenty of. In dangerous situations he is not afraid to take the front line nor will he hesitate to step in for someone around him or weaker than him. Danger is a constant thing for him, he's just used to dealing with it by now.
- Protective: Naturally a big brother type, or a fatherly type in his adulthood, Caine can't help but feel the need to take care of and protect those that are not as strong or independent as him. This can develop into a strong, loving bond between him and another person, but it is rare now after losing Oliver. Despite this, he still has no reservations about helping out in a situation, but he'd need some more coaxing before adopting someone and permanently taking them under his wing again.
- Special notice to detail: Despite his seemingly ADD focus, he's one to notice if any little thing is off. In a familiar environment, he'll pick up on things faster, but in general places he can sense danger on the wind or pick up on emotional distress easily. His eyes are also naturally sharp.
- Adaptive: Caine has lived in dangerous environments, abusive households, fought for his life against monsters and bandits-- he has no trouble just naturally getting accustomed to living in a new area just because he's done it so much before in the past. He would feel weirder having to stay in one place for too long.
- Charming: Despite having the tact of a shoe and the sensitivity of a cactus, Caine ends up being quite charming just with how honest and bitter he is with his dark sense of humour. Having grown into a handsome boy, women have paddled after his attractive smile despite not knowing the emotional turmoil that has burnt out his optimism and given him a strong cynicism.
- Loyal: While Caine's trust is only getting harder to earn, he's still a loyal boy to those that step into his life before disappearing. He might not have it in his heart to give himself to other people anymore, but if someone is okay with his skin deep personality, then he will remain loyal to them until they prove to be dangerous or an asshole.
- Excitable: Still a kid at heart, Caine can get really excited over small things, like wonders of the world he didn't know about, and these are the few times you can see his undaunted joy, without reservations holding him back.
- Selfless: Despite his big talk acting all tough, he's actually incredibly selfless. Caine is willing to give up what little he has to anyone who needs it and it can end up being an issue if he gifts something that he physically needed, like food or water. He doesn't care about himself, though, and believes that anyone he gives something to deserved it more.
- Distrustful: His most noticeably trait right away is his vicious distrust of people. Caine has an easier time calming down around those that are timid or clearly no threat, but if someone challenges him or riles him up, then he has a very, very difficult time coming around and trusting them. He has an ingrained belief that everyone is only out for themselves and he does not want to give more of himself away to someone who will just abandon him in the dust- again.
- Angry: A very emotional being, his most prominent trait is how he just seems to have an endless stream of anger to pull from. Though it is much more manageable than it was when he was a teenager, Caine can still be prone to loud outbursts and physical violence. The thing to keep in mind, though, is that the anger is 100% always pointed at himself, no matter the situation, so he would never bring harm or hell upon anyone else but himself. However that is not to say he wouldn't hurt himself in these episodes, as he sure has countless times before. Common things include punching or smashing parts of himself against the nearest solid object, like a tree or a house.
- Self destructive: Though Caine has tried more to keep himself alive than he used to, he still is just naturally prone to destroying his own happiness. This isn't really done in one specific way, just that his entire personality just leads to this. Poor guy can't catch a break, and part of it is his fault.
- Forgetful: Various chaos inside of his mind makes memories fade over time, much to his deeply rooted horror. He can't remember the sound of his mother's voice, not that he would ever admit this out loud.
- Rash: Running in guns blazing, that's Caine. He just acts without thinking, mostly due to his highly emotional state, and this can cause a multitude of issues.
- Driven by emotion: As mentioned before, he is a highly emotional being and is just run by his heart more than his head. This can cause trouble when logic contradicts how he feels, though his instincts have saved his life in the past.
- Petty: Very petty naturally, Caine doesn't let a shitty deed go. And he'll make sure you never forget it either.
- Lonely: At his core, Caine is scared and lonely. He misses his friend. He misses his mom. He misses having a semi normal life. He just wants...somebody.
- Reclusive: Naturally reclusive, Caine keeps away from people due to his suspicious nature. He prefers living apart from town or in an undisclosed location.
- Loner: Caine does his business alone, no one else needs to be involved. He would become naturally suspicions if someone was interested in his daily routine., and has a hard time working on a team.
- Has real trouble understanding right from wrong: Having grown up raised by his messed up father, he has had to build up his own version of right and wrong. This has been a long case of repeating mistakes and learning, so now he understands the basics like no stealing or killing, but other society normal still baffle him.
- Can't verbalise his thoughts well: Due to his mind being so confusing and rapid, he has a lot of trouble properly speaking and communicating how he feels or what he thinks. This can make his seemingly thoughtless quips or actions hard to get across, as he doesn't know how to just say how he feels.
- Good liar: After a life of it, he's good at it. His favourite response to asking about his scars is saying he did it because they look cool.
- Bitter sense of humour: Caine has led a life of strife, irony, and bitterness. It's only to be expected that it shaped his shitty sense of humour, which is something that takes a bit to get used to. He is also a huge memelord.
- Cross dresser: Caine enjoys wearing skirts and fishnets in particular, but doesn't usually just wear them as casual day wear. If it were brought up, though, he'd happily put some on.
- Smoker: Has picked up the bad habit of smoking both cigarettes during his rebellious and dangerous teenage years. These days he only smokeson occasion.
- Fears: Include but are not limited to: his father, disappointing others, and both dying and not dying equally.
