||| Age:
16
||| Appearance:
Standing at 5'8" with a slim build, Cain is an unassuming person. His long, messy, brown hair and languid green eyes are the opposite of intimidating. His body language, however, is confident. His stands with his chest high and eyes straight.
||| Personality:
A mellow fellow, Cain is a thinker rather than a fighter. He chooses to stay out of conflict until intervention is necessary. Truth is the only thing that Cain desires; he wants all of his questions to be answered and is willing to put in every ounce of work he can to solve what's going on.
||| Affinity:
Data
||| Abilities:
\\DELAY;QUEUE - Cain can delay the effect of a single action by 2, 3, or 5 seconds. While he is using this ability, his actions will appear to phase through the world. For instance, if he attempts to pick a mug up, his hand will go directly through the handle. After the delay, the mug will appear to be affected by the same motion and phase into his hand. The ability can be thought of being split into cause and effect. Cause is the motion in which Cain takes. As a result, objects that he is holding are not affected by the delay. Their effects, however, are. Effect can be thought of as anything that the cause will result in. For instance, if Cain swings a sword while under the effect of a delay, he will swipe straight through the target. After the delay, the "effect" of the swing will be at the same pace in which he swung the sword. If the sword is blocked, Cain would instantly feel the feedback.
It's important to note that the ability has two signature tell: sound and reflections. While a delay is activated, Cain will not make any noise. Instead, the noise will happen when the delay is finished. The same happens to reflections. The glistening of light on a sword would be a visual indicator mid-slice, but a mirror or video recording would simply show Cain standing still during a delay. Then, when the action actually occurs, a "phantom" of him will be phased inside of him in the reflection doing whatever move he had done.
This power will not allow him to phase through things he can't move through nor will it allow him to break his regular limits. If such is the case, he will not phase through an object.
\\OBJECT;ROLLBACK - By placing his hand upon an object, Cain can slowly revert an object to a previous state. Rather than recollect the original parts and move them to restore them, the original, broken parts break down into nothing. Then, the original object will slowly rebuild. This works on living things as well as inanimate objects, but the process is incredibly painful. Considering how nerve endings are slowly rebuilt, it causes severe pain with no lasting effects.
\\BORROWED;TIMEBOMB - By recording an action, Cain can place a "time bomb" on a surface. When something collides with anywhere in the path of motion in Cain's recording, the bomb will activate. Rather than explode, the bomb will create a phantom of Cain that perfectly acts out his recorded action. If, by any means, the phantom is unable to complete its recorded action with more than a fragment of resistance, the phantom instantly vanishes.

||| Oracle Emblem:
Nero's emblem takes the form of an ivory horsehair bow of masterwork quality. The emblem itself is incredibly durable, able to bend enough to take every impact so far without shattering.
Elemental Absorption - When activated, the length of the bow increases to that of a sword and the stick becomes just as sharp. By striking an element with the bow string, the bow can absorb a single instance of an outward elemental attack. By doing so, the power can be stored for an indefinite period of time. While only one instance can be stored at a time, the bow can still mitigate some potency.
Pass-through - By making an long, esoteric gesture directly on a wall, Cain can create a perfect circle that allows for rapid transportation. While it can go no further than a single foot, the hole allows for Cain to travel between most walls with slow but relative ease.
Influence - Upon touching something, Cain can open a fragment of the Outside on a target. A crushing force appears on the target. Not enough to cause damage, but enough to slow them down and harsh any action they may take.

||| Honest Blade:
Taking the form of an ornate targe made of mirrors, Veritas acts in two parts; the first is that the reflection of the mirror is unaffected by petty illusions made by seekers. The second is that any attack that strikes the mirror is reflected onto itself, mostly negating the impact of blows.

||| Appearance:
At 7'5", Nero doesn't exactly look human. His skin is extremely thin and charred black, making him look more like a walking skeleton. His limbs are just as odd; his proportions look more as though he's been stretched a considerable amount. A dull white tattoo depicting tentacles glows on his skin, brightly shining. His demeanor is incredibly insular. He constantly recedes from other people and objects to make himself appear as small as possible.
||| Affinity:
Data
||| Personality:
Nero's personality is... unpredictable. Prone to minor mood swings, he can go from frustrated to completely satisfied in the blink of an eye. His thought process is, unfortunately, not up to par with most. As though he's constantly forgetting things, his motives can alternate. Almost always, he wishes to assist Cain, but sometimes acts to his own, unknown and confused interests. He's entirely confused most of the time, an unreliable guide to his inheritor.
||| Assistant Capabilities:
Nero possesses the ability to pull things into the Outside, a pocket dimension that mirrors the world. The Outside is not dissimilar to the deep ocean in appearance. Very little light penetrates the murky atmosphere. Beings stuck in the Outside feel an immense pressure on all sides as though they are suffocating. The immense pressure also halts movement; while it's possible to move within the Outside, it feels as though one is wading neck deep in water. Outside also has an upper limit of 25 seconds. Nothing can remain inside of the Outside for more than 20 seconds. This means that it is primarily used as a way to escape. Being within the pocket dimension also strains one's body. Being within the it feels as though one is being crushed alive, only to be pulled apart once they leave. Not to mention, everyone leaves drastically winded because of how difficult it is to breath inside of it. As it stands, the only thing Nero can pull inside is Cain.
