Physical Description

Tall and slender, Cairo has the appearance of a gangly teenager rather than a man well onto his way to being close to half a century old. His face still has soft baby features. At most he can grow three chin hairs much to his resigned disappointment. Cairo's hair is raspberry cream in color with dark black cherry colored roots. He keeps it cut in an undercut with the top long enough to flip over and brush along his jawline. His eyes are a matching pink.

His wardrobe consists of as much natural fibers he can get his hands on. He hates the synthetic stuff and breaks out in hives if he has to come in contact with too much of it at a time. Cairo is partial to skinny pants under long tunics and long, open ponchos.

He has a vertical labret through his bottom lip along with snake bite hoops at the corners of his mouth. Both ears are also pierced with lobe piercings. He tends to wear several different rings with different means of protection or good health. Cairo also has his cult's symbol tattooed between his shoulder blades along with his family symbol below it.

Personality

Cairo is a steadfast individual. He is patient and reliable in all things he does bordering on uncompromising, stubbornness in his need to succeed. Cairo may be slower to come to a decision as he requires as much insight as he can gather but once his choice is made it is damn near impossible to deter him from his path.

In that same vein he despises sudden change. Complications are sure to make him incredibly frustrated though he is not above from trying to rework what is going wrong in order to try and correct it. This applies to all aspects of his life, from his job, to his personal life, to his passions.

Overall he is a practical and well-grounded man who finds peace and joy in the fruits of his labor. He loves to work with his hands especially when it comes to activities such as cooking or caring for others. Cairo is a nurturer to those that have earned his trust and respect.

Things
  • Loves cherry-flavoured things especially cherry blossom tea.
  • Absolutely terrified of losing his loved ones or driving them away. But does his level best not to be too clingy.
  • Extreme worrywart especially when it COMES to his loved ones.

Magic/Abilities

Kitchen Witch: Cairo possesses some basic magic dealing predominantly with minor healing and protection. He enjoys working with teas and spells where his chores bring joy and happiness to those he cares most about. His home is his safety and sanctuary open to all those who have gained his trust and care. He has spent many years trying to collect and create old and new spells in order to expand his repertoire but caring for his mother has proven to be more and more time consuming over the years. Most of what he does involves ensuring her safety and care. Although he does have a few spells set out in the universe just in case The Connection is real and his one is out there somewhere looking for him.

The Connection: This fundamental belief is what the entire Children of Conscience cult is based upon. While there are many believers simply swept up in the concept or hopes of it all. The Py family is one of the true experiences of this phenomenon. Their nonhuman roots harken back to this primal need and desire to find The Connection, or their one true mate. It is physically impossible for them to be with anyone else but their one, their other half of their soul, Their Connection.

Once connected they develop an empathic and sometimes even mental link with their other half. They will feel what the other feels and sometimes even know what the other knows if The Connection is strong enough and deeply embedded in both partners. For most it is simply empathic though and it has no strain over distance or time should a pair that has already Connected been separated. The Connection however does not exist until the other soul half has been discovered.

It is believed pairs are drawn towards each other their entire lives. The stars themselves will be moved to make way for their meeting should it be necessary. They spend their whole lives praying for and searching for Their Connection as it is believed to be the purest of all bonds. There is no love like that of The Connection.

That is not to say though that it cannot be perverted and corrupted. Rejection does not end the bond. It is believed only in death can you be free of The Connection and even then there have been cases where one of the Children have been left to linger on long after Their Connection has left them for the Great Beyond.

Relationships

Jeshra: Deceased father though he had been absent from Cairo's life for a long time before he finally died. No one knows what happened to him other than he is gone beyond where Cairo's mother can reach.

Torna: His mother who lives at home with Cairo and is catatonic at the loss of her Connection. Once a leader and matriarch in the cult, she is a shell of her former self and has not spoken in over a decade. Her loss has affected many though has been a massive warning to all within the cult about how the Connection should be properly revered and fully accepted and integrated into their lives.

Children of Conscience: The cult that Cairo was raised in. He finds his faith in The Connection shaken by his mother's loss but not broken. Her suffering is only proof of the truth of the matter. Soulmates exist and the loss of one can make you wish for death. He keeps away from cult meetings for the most part and chooses to do things on his own. That doesn't stop them from coming to visit him though and check in on him from time to time. Cairo feels a general indifference bordering on disdain for them. Perhaps if they had done something then his mother would not have suffered so much.

The Connection: Cairo has met them once before they disappeared out of his life again. His heart and soul long for them desperately though he has come to the conclusion it is not meant to be. The awakening of his empathy for them has also created some awkward moments though Cairo is trying to make the best of it. He dreads the day that person finds someone to settle down with but until then he'll just keep holding on and try to live his life as if nothing's changed.

History

Cairo was born into the Cult of Conscience on the Cancer Station. He comes from a long line of cultist leaders on his mother's side. Even she was already an elder by the time she finally had her precious baby boy with her Connection. His birth brought joy to the cult as all births before and after him had as it was considered symbolic proof of the truth of their ways. He grew up believing the same.

Behind closed doors though his own family life was less than ideal. His mother was miserable at times. A look of grief and sorrow would often overcome her even as Cairo so her cheeks flush and her hand clasp over her heart suddenly and seemingly without cause or reason. It would be many years before he realized how real the Connection was to people like his mother and how devastating it could be.

His father had never been a believer and never wanted to be one. He tried for Cairo's mother but between the pressure of family life and a young child soon grew bored of it all. He sought his pleasures and his comforts elsewhere, slowly chipping away at the woman he called his piece by broken piece. Eventually he disappeared altogether.

Back then Cairo was told his father was off on an important mission for the cult to find a new home for them. Always the man was spoken of in strange looks and hushed whispers until the boy pulled into sight and then it was always guilty looks of pity. He never understood it until the day his mother collapsed in the middle of prayers.

Jeshra was not coming back. He had never left with the intention of bringing back good things to his people and his family because he had no intention of calling them his ever again. The man had left to the stars to make his life anew far from wife and son, all but damning Torna to a life of suffering as she remained tied to Jeshra and unable to ever free herself. His ever indiscretion and crime against their bond severed to only break her more and more with each passing day. The day he fell in love all but gave her a stroke. Nearly every day after that resulted in mild to severe seizures.

More recently it finally came to a head. Torna had been sitting talking with Cairo, her voice and body far to frail for a woman who had once looked so youthful only twenty years earlier, suddenly sighed deeply, tears streaming down her cheeks as she whispered one last phrase. "So it is done at last." Not a single word has been spoken by her since and the tears have long since stopped flowing. From others Cairo was finally able to piece together the last bits of the truth. Jeshra had died, an act that should have brought Torna with him had they still remained with a healthy Connection intact. With it so fractured and frayed though he had cursed his former mate to be doomed to suffer on to her own end without him for however long that may be.

Today, Cairo does his best to support them both. His days are filled dealing with thankless customers followed by long nights of routine, bathing, feeding, and dressing his mother for bed. He talks to her gently, telling her stories and the good things of his day as few and far between as they may be in the mess of assholes he normally deals with. She is his everything though and he worries greatly over the day he comes home or wakes up to find her gone and himself well and truly alone.
