Physical Description

GOD GIVETH:
Cassia was born with steely grey eyes and teal hair. She is average height and build with a lithe body and gentle curves. Her face is comprised of a narrow nose, pointy chin, and full dusty pink lips that compliment her cream-colored skin.

Over the years she has acquired a few body modifications including piercings and tattoos. She has a piercing in her left eyebrow as well as her bellybutton. For tattoos she has a small black triangle and slash mark on her chin as well as a series of solid, black bands of varying thickness on her legs and arms. Each ankle has two of these bands, the thicker one closer to her foot and the thinner one above it. Then both calves have three bands with the outer two the same width and the center one thinner. Finally, her upper thighs have two equal width bands. These patterns are identical on her wrists, forearms, and biceps.

AND HE TAKETH AWAY:
After a serious squad-related accident, Cassia was left severely injured and required extensive robotic rebuilding. She wears her flight suit or other similar fully-covering outfits to hide her cybernetic replacements. Though she has been fitted with realistic enough skin, because of the hybrid nature of cybernetics combined with organic tissues it has left her with faint though noticeable dark lines where the plating meets flesh.

A good amount of Cassia's right skull has been replaced along with a smaller portion of her left side. Due to the damage to her skull, her eyes were also replaced. The irises are still grey though there is an extra red ring around the pupil separating it from the iris now. She does not possess any special abilities with her new sight beyond 20/20 vision.

Nearly all of her ribs on the right side have also been replaced along with her entire right arm, shoulder, and lung. Furthermore, her right pelvic bone, the top of her right femur, and her tailbone have also all been replaced. On her left side she has robotic parts replacing her ulna as well as the wrist and finger bones of her ring and pinky fingers.

All of her new replacements allow for the sensation of touching something but do not possess the receptors for things such as pain or temperature.

Personality

ARE YOU STILL THERE?
Before the incident, Cassia was a confident, self-assured, and cocky Pilot. She was known to be playful with her friends and have a bit of a "big sister" nurturing attitude towards those in need. She threw her heart into everything she did and sometimes let it rule her decisions better than her brain. Cassia lived for the moment and was content to bounce from idea to idea. If she was having fun and no one was getting hurt then the sky was the limit.

She was a rather talented and creative artist too who regularly could be found in off moments sketching or painting something somewhere. In her quarters there isn't a single wall or piece of ceiling that has not been painted in large expansive murals. On top of that there are paintings upon paintings of both her work and that of others decorating the walls haphazardly.

A FEW PIECES SHY OF A FULL BOX
Today, Cassia is more analytical and reserved in her approaches to things. She remains the loyal, hard-working, and earnest woman she was before but, there is a definite sense of emptiness in her. She is struggling to find herself after such a physical, emotional, and mental loss. The majority of the amnesia may have faded but the soul of a free-spirit has been damaged. No amount of cybernetic hardware can fix that, leaving Cassia no choice but to push onward or get left behind.

Things
  • Favorite thing to draw are water monsters. Her home is filled with paintings of tentacles and gaping maws or glowing eyes.
  • Is obsessed with all things water. Has always preferred swimming to running.
  • Always wanted a massive aquarium in her home but never felt she had time for it before. Now doesn't feel confident she could care for it properly.

Magic/Abilities

Telepathy: Cassia is a moderate to weak telepath. She is able to communicate with her squadmates if needed across short distances as well as shield most of her surface thought from others. It is certainly far from her favorite gift.

Hydrokinesis: This on the other hand is her crowning glory. Cassia has been a water baby since birth and could not have been happier when it was found that she was a hydrokinetic. She can raise huge walls of water, creating controlled hurricanes and tsunamis when needed that can crash into an enemy or bar them off from proceeding.

Relationships

Delphinia Kashik: Cassia's deceased mother. She was a Leviathan back in the day and came from an old money high-class family. Cassia did not grow up close to her mother but always lived in awe of the warrior woman that she was. Young Cassia lived for the days her father would bring her to Formosa to see see her mother. Delphinia was killed in action when her scorpion HAWC was cut off from the rest of the squad.

Argos Marson: Cassia's father. He is and was part of the Samariel military. He and Delphinia met on the job. Their affairs were far from truest of love he met her needs and she gave him a lovely daughter in the end. Argos was left in charge of raising their baby which he did with pure love and gusto. Cassia has always been very close to her father because of that though perhaps never came to understand all the sacrifices he's made for her as she kept her eyes looking up towards her mother. Argos was a wreck when his daughter was wounded but his doing his best to support her and her needs (even for space) as she finds who she is again.

Samariel Leviathans: Her squad and her life. All Cassia ever wanted was to be a Leviathan. Her mother an Commander Pholcus have been her idols ever since she was small and she strives to do them both proud.

Oceano: Cassia's hot-tempered male dragon. He is a slim, serpent-like dragon with his forelimbs actually a part of his wings. His hindlimbs are more like flipper appendages than actual legs though he is able to wobble about on them when the need arises. Oceano much prefers to be either in the air or the water. The land holds little interest for him. His underbelly has a series of blue and green pleated metal plating that creates a grating sound when he drags himself around.

History

Cassia's memories of her past while there are a bit fuzzier than she would like. She knows who everyone is but it now takes her a bit of prompting to get her to remember things she has not yet been reintroduced to. She was born to unwed parents after an on-again off-again series of affairs. Her mother, Delphinia was old money and old blood from Apcintoch married to another equally old and moneyed family. The pair did not even live in the same city and beyond being required to give an heir and a spare, neither held any feelings towards each other. It was strictly business.

Argos, her father was different and refreshing. He was a man of vision and laughter and passion. One thing led to many others and eventually out popped Cassia. Delphinia was an absent mother, allowing her former lover to raise their progeny and otherwise writing herself out of her child's life.

Despite that though, Cassia grew up always wanting to be a Pilot like her mommy and a Leviathan at that. On her thirteenth birthday she woke her father up up at the wee hours of the morning excited and begging to be taken for official testing and preparation for acceptance to ATC. Life had its ups and downs but she just kept rolling with the punches.

Her mother died a few months into her starting Stage 1. She survived candidacy though and eventually graduated at 22 where she was immediately placed with the Samariel Leviathans. It was a dream come true to come home and see her father again before joining her "dream team." Cassia learned a lot in those beginning days. You don't stay star-eyed for long when there's so much work to be done. She was  fitted with a raptor HAWC she named Del and often could be found giving it a new paint job every couple of weeks as suited her fancy. Cassia excelled in squad life and went on to make Echo rank quickly.

Life was good for her. She had her family, her friends, and the job of a lifetime. But, it was not without risks and close calls. Eventually her luck ran out and on a mission no less. Cassia had been out baiting one of the monsters into chasing her towards the rest of her squad when she was blindsided by a second creature that came out of nowhere and smashed into her HAWC. She did her best to fight her way out of it but the controls were already fried from the initial impact. The pair set upon her, crushing her inside her machinery as they worked on trying to tear it apart. Her last flickering memories are of glowing yellow eyes that still haunt her nightmares.

Her squad was able to get her to medical where she was treated for her extensive injuries. It was her flight helmet that ended up saving her life as it held her crushed skull together long enough for the surgeons to get in and work on saving her brain. She was placed in an induced coma in order to heal as her body began the arduous process of handling the shock her system had incurred. When Cassia woke, she was no longer the woman she once was. She suffered from temporary amnesia that blessedly has predominantly faded now that she's back on her feet again. She has yet to be cleared to step foot into her HAWC again but she's working on getting to that point. Her squad hasn't given up on her yet and she's not about to either.
