Backstory: Cassius was born to a militaristic family. His father had been in the military and his father before him and so on. So from birth his career had been decided, he was going to be a soldier. He never knew his mother, as she died due to complications as he was born, but he tried his father and grandfather were around, so he had a stable life, mostly. From a young age they trained him about everything he would need to know to be a soldier. They never gave him a second to rest, and as a result, he hated the idea of being a soldier. The idea of being in the middle of the fight was just disturbing to him. The only thing that he liked about it was the guns. He found that he had a love for weapons, the sheer power that came with a bullet was interesting to him. He found that he much preferred to practice shooting further and further away, never feeling like he had gone far enough.

It was as he reached his teens that he confronted his father about his thoughts. Surprisingly enough, his father agreed with him. He had observed his talent for shooting over the years and recommended that Cassius should join up with Special Forces and become a sniper. Cassius still wasn’t very impressed with the idea of becoming a soldier, he liked the idea of shooting, but killing was something he didn’t know if he could live with. It was when his father was killed in the line of duty that he came to a conclusion. His father and their squad had been flanked and picked off without any warning. So Cassius decided he would become a sniper, so that he could keep an eye on the battlefield and keep his allies safe.

He was accepted as an applicant and was trained on how to properly operate a Mecha. His skills were quickly noted and after a few years of training he was finally ready to go into the field. He was given the “Angel” Mecha by his commanding officer and was sent to his first mission. The mission was a tough one, they were tasked with infiltrating a stronghold and neutralising the enemy. The mission went well, but as they were leaving the area, Cassius got distracted and didn’t notice an ambush waiting for their escape. His whole squad was killed, and he just managed to escape with his Mecha intact. After that, he dropped off the radar. He felt personally responsible for their deaths and couldn’t stand the idea of reporting back, so he ran away.

The war ended soon after, but he didn’t go back. He decided to wander the world and see if he could find a way to redeem himself. But eventually, he found himself in need of money, so he sought out the Outcast Guild. He figured that as long as he had his skills and a Mecha to back them up, he might as well use them.

Tactical Preference & Skills: Prefers to stay on the edge of a battlefield, carefully setting up his area and getting vision on the battlefield. He sits and waits with his rifle pointed across the field and avoids firing a single shot until he knows he can get a kill. He prefers to shoot once and then relocate, quickly moving to another location to set up and wait for another shot. Likes to function as a combat sniper, providing covering fire and support while ground forces advance.
