His hair is a jet black with silver-blue eyes. He wears a set of well made armor that is a combination of leather and metal: leather at the joints to keep things flexible and metal to protect vitals. He wears a cloak over it that is lined with fur for when he travels to colder regions. He carries his swords in a sheath on his belt and his shield slung over his back, so he can dual wield or use a shield as the situation requires. He has many different pouches and vials on a belt that carry anything he may need for his hunts.[/indent] [h3][sup][i]Reputation:[/i][/sup][/h3][indent]Cassius can come off as cold and unfeeling to those who first meet him, as his job always comes before anything else. He is quick to the point and focused on gathering information. However, if one was to meet him off the job while he's relaxing and having a good time they would see that he's fairly open to meeting new people and is pretty quick to laugh or jump into crazy ideas.[/indent] [h3][sup][i]Reason for Traveling:[/i][/sup][/h3][indent]Cassius works as a spellsword all across the whole of Sedaia, mostly working on tracking down monsters that are threatening a city, but he doesn't often turn down any work that happens to come his way. He's done guard jobs, bounty hunting, or traveling to far reaches of the continent for expeditions or otherwise. No part of the continent is off his radar and he will explore all of it if he has the chance. At present he is working on a job for a wealthy landowner that owns a large estate in The Midlands who has been having some trouble with a magically enhanced beast on one of the large plantations he owns in The Croplands. The beast is more dangerous than others he has tackled previously, or so his employer says. He is in the process of tracking it down, as he is unsure of its exact location, both so he can get paid and to help out the neighboring cities.[/indent] [h3][sup][i]Skills:[/i][/sup][/h3][indent][list] [*] His favored weaponry is longswords and a shield, though he capable of wielding most weapons. [*] He practices elemental magics-specifically fire and lightning-that he can imbue his weapons with [*] He is fond of woodcarving, riding horses, and is a surprisingly good cook. [/list][/indent] [h3][sup][i][b]Meta[/b]:[/i][/sup][/h3][indent]Getting to meet up with the other travelers and make connections is going to be a big part of this for him. That being said I'm pretty open to most anything when it comes to drama, complications, etc. I'm mostly in this to make a good story with y'all! For character progression I think he wants to know that he can be more than just his job, which has kept him traveling for most of his life, and he's never really had a solid connection with anyone for more than a short time. He'd like to know that there's more than just surviving and killing. He loves exploring new lands, but doing it alone isn't always the most enjoyable experience. That being said something else he could probably stand to learn is how to ask for help when a job is too much for one person. I suppose how that comes about is up to you guys![/indent] [h3][sup][i]Extra:[/i][/sup][/h3][indent]Cassius worships Palir-mainly for his focus on both danger and safety [/indent] [/hider]
