CASSIAN RAINECOURT
GENERAL
Name: Cassian Rainecourt-Ellis
Age: Twenty-One
Birth Season: Winter
Occupation: Heir/Prince
Citizen Status: Prince of Nevermere, Duke of Lorendale
PHYSICAL
Height: 5'11
Weight: 180lbs
Body Description: Cassian is a pinch above average in regards to height, and his body is lean but well-toned.
PERSONAL
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Reputation: Cassian, 'The Foreign Heir', is a figure of mystery. Where all the kingdom got to observe the other heirs from infancy, Cassian is an entirely new element among them. Most do not trust him--there are rumors that he is exactly like his father: cold, calculating, and only out for himself--but there are some who are giving the young man a chance, seeing redeeming qualities in him in the short time he has been in Lorendale, namely his good manners and patience. He is known to be capable of handling conversation and company, and there are rumors that he is not shy about showing his pleasure in a woman's appearance.
Combat Experience: Cassian is the son of an accomplished fighter and king who was trained by the best Lorendale had to offer at the time. His father was his primary tutor with the sword, specifically the claymore, which requires two hands for powerful swings. Cassian began training when he was five years old, and has not stopped. Aside from the claymore he has also been taught how to use his fists.
MAGIC
Werewolf form: Cassian's wolf is dark brown.
LEVEL 10 UPDATE: Cassian has acquired an enchanted necklace that wards off magic from directly affecting his person. Any magical attack or even aid (such as healing) will hit a "wall" and will not harm or help Cassian as long as he is wearing this necklace. This does not include physical attacks, physical things thrown at him by magic, illusions he sees, or people looking into his mind/knowing things about him. It does include offensive magical attacks thrown his way, healing attempts, mind alteration attempts, and any other magical action that would change his person. This enchantment is a shrine enchantment, and does not require activation and cannot be controlled. The necklace's chain is relatively weak and can be broken from his neck if tugged at with force.
LEVEL 20 UPDATE: Unknown to Cassian due to memory erasing potions, ever since the discovery of the werewolf curse, Julius set out to ensure that it never became something used against his son. From the time Cassian was small his father conducted private sessions with Cassian and Sabine, having the witch turn the boy, and then train the boy through the use of potions and curses. It took years. Eventually, however, Cassian's curse took on a different form, shaped and changed by the additional curses of one of the most powerful witches in the kingdom. Cassian has control of when he is changed into a werewolf, and in his werewolf form he maintains his same mind, with some animal instincts mixed in. Witches may still force his change, but he can change back at will, and is not beholden to the witch that changed him. His werewolf curse is now accompanied with more of the "classic" werewolf lore: he self-regenerates when in this form (minor wounds only, does not save him from deep cuts or fatal blows), must turn on the full moon, is excessively aggressive and prone to anger in his human form, anger is a shape-changing trigger, and (drumroll), will eventually "imprint".
LEVEL 40 UPDATE: While rummaging through some of his father's old belongings Cassian stumbled upon a gift. A ring. It was not alone, but contained a letter with it, describing what it could do and who it had been made for. It seemed Julius had had it crafted for Cassian in the event that his efforts to give Cassian control of his werewolf form had not worked.
The Ring of Suppression is a saga enchantment with the ability to suppress. When activated, the wearer may subdue anything that he targets, be it magic, pain, emotion, etc. This suppression is technically psychic but the magic of the ring effects the mental, physical and supernatural world, as what is stronger than the mind? When used, the effect of the ring is apparently permanent, the suppressed thing only gaining freedom seemingly at the wearer's will; it is possible, however, to encourage the freedom of that which is suppressed through psychic intervention and time.
HISTORY
Family: @althea (Sister)
Tale:
Cassian is the first child born into a family divided, and that divided family rules a divided kingdom.
Julius Rainecourt II is the eldest brother and should-be king of Lorendale, if old customs had been honored and not forsaken. When Leopold was named heir, Julius and one third of the king's army left the land in search of new territory, following who they considered to be the rightful king. Julius and his men wandered like nomads for three long years before they came upon the kingdom of Nevermere. The people of the land were farmers and crafters, each working with his own hands with little class distinction and even lesser military-minds among them. Julius saw the great potential to make something of this kingdom. He attempted to infiltrate peacefully by promoting himself as the old king's new general. Half of the kingdom welcomed his arrival and the change it promised, while the other half wished that he and his swords would be sent away for good. In the end, the king demanded his departure, but with no army to execute his sovereign words he was quickly and quietly laid to rest. Julius became king of Nevermere, and he banished all of the old king's children except for one daughter--he took her as his wife.
It was to these people that Cassian was born: Julius Rainecourt II, Prince of Lorendale, King of Nevermere, and Malthace Rainecourt, Queen of Nevermere. His mother's relationship with his father was always one of fear, distrust, and respect; she did as she was told and raised her son to as well. Julius cared little for love and affection and instead set his sights on conquest and gain. He raised Cassian to be a king and his daughter to be a queen--but more than simply a political figurehead, he instilled in them a drive and ambition that was second to none.
News of the great contest taking place within the kingdom of Lorendale reached Julius II's ears through his network of spies. He was appalled by his brother's decision to pass the throne int he same way their father had, but it was no surprise. Instead of seething in bitterness from the shadows, Julius packed a carriage and sent Cassian to Lorendale to partake in what he considered to be his birthright.
