PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
There's nothing soft about his body, hard muscled and angular, heavily scarred and tattoo’d, Cabal doesn’t tend to keep on a lot of body insulation. His habits for smoking heavily and eating light foods make his form lean and mean, chiseled and lightly tanned.

He seems to have perpetually drawn features. If he’s not frowning, he’s giving a small wry smirk, often in passing. His brow is low, cheekbones high and sharp, dark cobalt hair (shaved up on the sides and back in an undercut) and piercing dark hazel-green eyes, fitted deep as if in a perpetual smolder. Often scruffy, for he's rarely clean shaven, and has two scars running across full lips.

His tattoos are of esoteric symbols, ritual signs, letters and numbers, marking his back, arms and chest.

PERSONA
“Life is pain. Anyone tells you different is selling something.”

Snarky and surly, Cabal is something of a walking force of nature, cynical and wily. He can have a good time with the rest of them, appealing to a vague desire to connect with people, while at the same time preserving brooding and introverted tendencies. Wanting to relate to others, but often finding himself at a loss. He’s feral, an outcast with a strong sense of self-preservation, an instigator and, if truth be told, a glutton for punishment.  Generally doesn’t care or cater to the opinions of others, and enjoys making others bristle.

- Things! -
- Athazagoraphobic - fears forgetting his own identity, and of people forgetting him.

- Has a cat named Rorschach, calls him Rory for short.

- Incredibly nihilistic, although oddly spiritual either in spite of it or because of it. Has knowledge of the metaphysical, chakras, and a strong sense for the unseen. A long running trait in his family, those born with this trait are called a Mortduhast, or Death Bearer (although the connotations are less understood in modern times, and can be seen as taboo).

- Smokes heavily, mainly dandylion, but has a very high-functioning buzz. More or less has most of his faculties when under the influence of alcohol or drugs. In fact, he often seems most driven.

MAGIC/ABILITIES
Telepathy: Moderately strong. Can generally be focused on one individual.
Telekinesis: Almost nonexistent

CYTOKINESIS - Manipulation of cells of living things. Focused in the mimicry and replication of those cells to copy another person, inch for inch, a practical carbon copy. The devil is in the details Cabal has always said. He can maintain the disguise for as long as he desires, although being in another person’s proverbial skin has its drawbacks. He often repeats a personal mantra after each mission, reminding himself of who he is lest he forget.

EMPATHY - Always more emotionally in tune with others than he had any real right to be. He gets touches and feelings from other people, although he does his best to block out that which he doesn’t want to be overwhelmed with - particularly strong emotions usually seep their way beneath the surface. Can mimic the emotional and mental states of others, to further complete a disguise. He can focus on one particularly strong emotion, draw it out, and copy it, even if he doesn’t feel it himself. Often tied with his other gift of seeing the unseen, he can sense the residual emotions of those that have long since past.

MORTDUHAST - A long running trait within the Vindstrom family, one that while not every member of the family is born with this ability, those that do are called a Mortduhast, a bearer of the dead. In another time, they were once revered for their gift of ‘second sight’. A medium by another name, Cabal has been able to sense, and see spirits as a manifestation if they’re forceful enough about it, and has done so from a young age. He doesn’t believe in any organized religion, avoids it like the plague, but is very aware of separate planes of existence, and the entities that occupy them. Can “Dreamwalk” - a variant of astral projection - and spirit himself away so to speak, to send his consciousness and ‘see’ things from great distances away.


RELATIONSHIPS
Jain “Nemo” Dau - Best Friendo.
Jesse River - Another Friendo.

Grandmother (Name TBD) - Grandmother - Caring and kind, warm but firm, she cared for Cabal and Ivan in the latter half of of his life. She's still spry for her age, although she is getting on in years. She's since gone blind, but you wouldn't easily be able to tell at first glance, moving with a startling alertness, and wry sense of preservation.

Catherine Vindstrom - Mother - A stern, strict woman, cold and the head of the Vindstrom family. She saw her children as little more than an extension of herself, and showed little in the way of affection. When Ivan passed away, she had his body cremated and interred in the family tomb. Along with their father that died during the war. She does not show a great deal of emotion, and looks at Cabal with a great deal of disdain.

Ivan Elias Vindstrom - Younger brother - Deceased. Ivan and Cabe were thick as thieves growing up. And Cabe took it upon himself to look out for him when their mother became too overbearing. Catherine had Cabe beaten when he got into trouble - an act he often took the blame for to keep Ivan from being punished for accidentally breaking something or some such. He died in a work-related accident at the age of 22.

Emma Dansk - ex-Girlfriend - Deceased. Smart and funny, Cabe met her shortly after graduation and they quickly started a relationship. She knew of his abilities and accepted him anyway, of his job, and loved him regardless. Sometimes no matter what gifts you have, there's nothing you can do, sometimes you're just in the wrong place in the wrong time.

Mahazadra - Dragon (Description TBD)


HISTORY
The Vindstroms have always been an unusual family. In the old days they were seers and fortune tellers, or advisors to kings and warlords, healers, mediators, speakers of the dead. In the modern age, they are a semi-prominent family, having grown into the Aedolan military tradition - producing soldiers and Pilots alike. Hearing the name usually is enough to send chills down the spines of those that are foolish enough to believe rumor and gossip. And cause enough for stares from across the room.

For Cabal, childhood was not easy, but he was educated, fed, and when he began to manifest abilities that were not entirely psychic, he was taken aside by his grandmother and schooled in the ways of the metaphysical, that not everything is as it seems, and that there is more than meets the eye. His 'Third Eye' had been opened, and the sooner he learned about it, the more at ease he would become. Although his mother was against it, time spent with his grandmother were he best memories Cabe can claim to have of his childhood.

But no, life was not easy. He was thirteen when he began to show his psychic potential. Catherine refused to let him go, saying he betrayed the family by leaving, and had smashed him over the head with a bottle, and not long after, he and his little brother left his mother's care at the behest of their grandmother, and cared for until Cabal was inducted into Candidacy.

It didn't take long for a dragon to choose him or to be shoved into the Seeker department. Cabe was perfectly content to cut all ties he had with Catherine, and happy to know Ivan was living his own life too. Their mother couldn't reach them anymore. They were free.

Of all things Cabal shouldn't have taken for granted was that, a guilt that coils itself in his belly in sweat-soaked nights. Freedom, after all, doesn't come without cost. He felt his brother's death, at the moment it happened, and again when Emma passed away. Reaching out to them achieves nothing, time and again, nothing but void, an echoless chamber that chills Cabal to the core...
