__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description:
Casey is fairly short and wiry, though his arms have muscle from working with machines all day, and his fingers have calluses. He has pale skin with dark eyes and hair; His hair is short and messy and his eyes and other features are fairly small. He is very light on his feet, courtesy of his species, and his skin will luminesce slightly when he is exposed to water.

He generally wears dark blue rumpled pants, a black no-sleeved undershirt, a yellow vest with white trim, black boots with a yellow trim, and a belt that holds various tools. He also has a pair of yellow tinted safety goggles —usually used while welding— and black straps tied around his hands to function as gloves or hold small parts.


Personality:
Casey is rational, and tends to analyze everything. This can get on people’s nerves, especially when he analyzes things that they think are completely unnecessary. Intelligence is important to him. Most things in his life are organized and planned well; But he borderlines on being a total perfectionist. He enjoys being around smart people. In fact, Casey is often a little short with people who don't impress him mentally. A lot of the time, he won't think before speaking - and often regrets it. He is very honest and direct, and others usually don't take his criticism well.

On the other hand, Casey is generally a friendly and trusting person. He does have a healthy dose of cynicism; He will get along well with others as long as they play fair. He understands people quite well and can often tell what others are thinking by watching their sub-conscious body language. Because of this, he can sometimes manipulate people to do what he wants. Casey is naturally curious and even a bit of a snoop. He likes to have dirt on everyone - both enemies and friends.

Only the greatest setbacks upset him, and he bounces back quickly. Overall, he is typically calm and relaxed, hoping to make others feel secure. Though he is flirtatiously playful, he never plays games. Casey just likes to be the one who keeps everyone laughing.


Magic/Abilities:
Casey has abilities similar to hydromancy; He can direct and summon water. His control of water is almost instinctual, and he sometimes does it without noticing. Being in clean running water improves his overall health and energy.
However, as a fae, he has a slight aversion to iron. Direct contact with iron causes Casey to feel weak and nauseous; Continued exposure gives him a light fever. Lucky for him, pure iron is not generally used anymore, due to its lower strength and tendency to rust. Only pure iron gets a reaction out of him, so steel and other iron alloys are safe.

Designing whole ships, or individual parts for the vessel, is his main source of income. Thus, he has knowledge on how ships of various models are put together. Casey is also proficient at discovering how machines work, and specializes in smaller digital gadgets that often integrate into larger units, such as his ships. 
He can use some of his tools as weapons if need be, especially if he has a pair of 1-2/3 wrenches.
Casey also has a talent for music, though he doesn’t use it much. He will sing in the shower, or sometimes practices on his four-stringed Liuqin.


Relationships:
He knows other engineers, as well as people who hang around his area of the Cancer often. He visits his neighbor Arius and consequently her "Aunty", Keagan. He also has a few regular customers for ship repairs, such as Kit, though he tells them he is better at thinking and construction than repairs. Most everyone he knows he treats as acquaintances rather than friends. Few people would know him from his first lifetime, as they would have to be over 139 years old.
He has a small trimmed shrub in the shape of a fish that sits in the main area of his room. He calls it Mr. Fish and frequently speaks to it or plays music for it. Kit regrets ever giving Casey that gift, but still comes by to trim it when necessary.


History:
As a Nix, he is capable of living incredibly long. However, he will live the average of one long human life before “hibernating” in a large fresh water body for another lifetime. Each lifetime is completely separate to him. He is currently only in his third lifetime, including a hibernation.

He used to live on Edanith for about 8 years before deciding to go somewhere he declared “more exciting and lively.” He got off a ship onto the Cancer and hasn’t left since. Somewhere along the way, he discovered his love of machinery, and after enough tinkering on his own, finally got a job doing it.


Other:
My only character who is firmly stationed on the Cancer! I'd love some buddies for him, especially other engineers or mechanics.(yes, there is a difference) He's also fairly young, so some romantic experience wouldn't go amiss either.
Average reaction time, so even though he won't dodge much in a fight, he'll certainly try! He's comfortable with friendly physical contact though, and flirting doesn't phase him much.
