“Rivalry doesn't help anybody.”-
Percy Jackson
Casper Phelix Fawn
|Nickname|'Caspy'
Casper has had the nickname for as long as he can remember, and he doesn't object to the use of it. Rather - he encourages it, for he has always taken a liking to the soft-sounding nature of the nickname, feeling it makes him sound a more approachable, and generally friendly, individual.
|Birth Date|January 24th 1997
|Age|18
|Gender|Male
|Sexuality|Heterosexual
|Sexually Active|Yes. He is, however, placing a gradually greater emphasis on finding a 'special someone', in place of one-night flings.
|Relationship Status|Single - though hoping to change that.
|Role|Team Leader
|Team Color|Team Blue
|In Depth Appearance|Casper stands relatively short, for a male anyway, at 5'8. His less-than-average height is matched by his lithe body, for while he is certainly toned, he does not have particularly bulky muscles or anything that would indicate a dedication to physical activity and exercise. His skin is entirely youthful, looking soft to the touch and most of all, making him appear less than 18. He insists, however, that he is simply a 'late-springer' and will eventually look as manly as the best of them. Adding to his youthful appearance is the pale tone of his skin, with any attempt at getting a tan being met by sunburn.
His face lacks masculinity, again contributing to his 'baby boy' look, something he is often teased over. Furthermore, there is no facial hair on any part of his face or chest, though he maintains that instead of this being owed to an inability to grow facial hair or chest, he simply does not 'like the look'. Perhaps the most memorable feature of his face is his dark brown eyes, which sparkle with warmth and create a generally friendly demeanor around him. No matter how hard he tried, or how long he stared, it would be near-impossible for him to appear imposing or threatening in any way, a direct result of his baby-ish features, and naturally warm eyes.
His hair is a dark blond, bordering on brown, and is often roughly styled.
|Clothing Style|Casper has a very well-defined dress code, and dedicates likely far too much time to perfecting his wardrobe. He appreciates formal dressing, and has always thought he belonged in the early 20th century when formal attire was considered the norm. However, despite his love of finely tailored suits (which he will wear at any excuse) he instead opts for a more smart-casual look on a day-to-day basis.
Shirts, bowties, knitted sweaters, chinos, dark jeans, tweed jackets, blazers, overcoats and scarves are all regularly worn by Casper.
|Scars, Tattoos, Piercings|Casper has nothing in the way of scars, having been pampered and babied by his mother for most of his life. In terms of tattoos and piercings, Casper has steered well clear and as such has neither.

♦ Appeaser ♦ Gregarious ♦ Compromiser ♦ Cowardly ♦
Casper is an appeaser, first and foremost. A man of words, and compromise. He loathes getting into confrontations with others, no matter their view, and has a deeply-rooted desire to please everybody. Naturally, this has led to him becoming a rather large pushover and he rarely voices his own opinions with any great vigor or determination, being scared to incite further argument and discontent. Despite this, Casper is intrinsically 'good' and knows right from wrong, or at least he likes to think so, and this only further inspires his desire to please everybody around him.
When not actively trying to mediate a conflict or resolve some sort of drama, Casper is an amiable and cordial figure. Making friends is perhaps one of his favourite 'past-times', if it could be called that. His absolute resolve to make friends and see the best in those around him is also, however, one of his most glaring flaws. Casper is very slow to realise the 'true' personality of those around him, and takes almost everything at face value. Yet even when he has been slighted, he is quick to forgive and forget, in the hopes that further grievances can be avoided. Ultimately, this makes him perhaps one of the most vulnerable and easily-manipulated figures at Camp Liberty, with his kindness and desire for peace leaving him blind to those who would use him.
|Place of Origin|Hunting Valley, Cleveland, Ohio
|History|Born in the particularly affluent area of Hunting Valley, Casper has been babied for most, if not all, of his life. Being a 'mummy's boy', as opposed to his elder brother who was certainly the dominant child, Casper never demonstrated the traits typical of his family. His father, a high-flying business executive, expected his children to show decisiveness, a cold and calculating mindset, and most of all, a natural talent for leadership. While it was certainly the case that Casper's senior brother of two years, Elliot, was everything his father wanted, Casper could not have been more at odds with the expectations their father had for the two of them. Where his father sought immediate, firm action to resolve a conflict, Casper preferred sitting around a table, talking it out, and reaching a compromise that would benefit all involved. Indeed, purposefully acting against certain individuals to further your own standing or personal ambition seemed an almost alien concept to Casper, much to the annoyance of his father.
Casper was privately educated, alongside his brother, and was more-or-less forced to be a 'lesser version of his brother'. Attending the same clubs and sporting events, but never particularly feeling as though he belonged, and pursuing the same subject choices despite enjoying others were among but a few of the sacrifices he made in an attempt to impress his father and live up to his expectations, though his efforts were ultimately made in vain. Determined to sculpt Casper into the second son he so desperately desired, he sent him to Camp Liberty on his thirteenth birthday, with Elliot having also been sent two years prior when it was his own thirteenth.
It was fair to say that Casper enjoyed the initial summers spent at Camp Liberty. Being placed on the same team as his brother, who also happened to be the leader for Team Blue, Casper always knew that he had somebody at his back, and that even if he could not get his opinion across to others, he would always be able to rely on his brother to hear him out. It was this 'safety net' that allowed Casper to relax, not having to worry about the responsibility of settling disputes and keeping team members in line, instead being allowed to simply enjoy the experience of Camp Liberty (again, much to the chagrin of his father)
Two years ago, however, Elliot left the camp. Yet, in an even worse turn of events, Casper felt the pressure more than ever to volunteer himself as a replacement for his elder brother. After all, Elliot had led Team Blue through several years of consecutive victories, and Casper had finally resolved that now was his chance to 'discover himself' and live up to what was expected after him. After all, his father had an entire year to drill the idea into his head before the next summer of camp. Indeed, Casper was elevated to the post of Team Leader, likely a result of his natural way with words and the reputation of his senior brother, though things have only gone downhill. He has, unsurprisingly, fallen back into his cowardly nature and is frightened of upsetting the team, though this is perhaps one of the main reasons Team Blue has taken an increasing distaste toward his leadership.
Now, with the next summer of Camp Liberty on the horizon, it is unclear as to whether Casper will remain as the leader of Team Blue, or whether his waning authority will be challenged and his position will be usurped by another member of the team.
|Extra|He wears a vanilla-scented aftershave, though it is not a particularly powerful scent, and is generally only sensed when in close proximity.
His favourite thing about summer is undoubtedly escaping the stress of family life! (Even if it means he's thrust into another stressful situation)
