Here is my character! Feel free to tell me if I need to adjust anything, or if I should explain something more thoroughly. I will go through it more when I don't have tired brain. :sun

[hider= Cassiopeia Hovhannisyan]

Name: Cassiopeia 'Cassia' Hovhannisyan

Race: Middle Eastern 

Ethnicity: Ashkenazi Jew and Turkish

Religion: Muslim

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Age: Twenty-six

Personality: Cassiopeia is highly intelligent but she has a hard time expressing her feelings. She has become blasé about the dangers of the apocalypse. She likes her independence from others, and worries about getting to close. Cassia is confident in her abilities and sometimes gets a little cocky. She's very naturally sarcastic and quick to snap at stupid questions.  Her vulgarity is off putting to some. Cassia is a sweet soul once you melt the ice around her heart. Her loyalty is one of her best qualities about her, another is her dependability. 

Description: Cassia is 6'0" and 166 pounds, she has a muscular build which is naturally strong. She suffers from damage in her core strength and her right shoulder does not work as good as it should. Her body is a natural hourglass. She has pale green eyes except for the partial heterochromia in her left eye which causes a sliver of golden brown. Cassia is very beautiful but she 'suffers' from resting bitch face. Cassia has full lips with a prominent cupid's bow. Her eyebrows are thick but not unruly. She has a scar across her lower right jaw which was from a knife fight with a bandit. Cassia has many other scars, but the two more unique ones are a bullet mark in her shoulder blades and the slash across her ribs, both from a transaction gone wrong. Her thick hair is a pitch black that is naturally wavy... that is when she has hair. On impulse she'll cut it off. When her hair is down it is to her hips but she keeps it back in a braid most of the times. Cassia's complexion is a deeper olive (Type V) from her father's middle eastern origins. She has a tree tattoo on her full back which she got after winning a lucky game of Texas Hold'em with her friend. She plans on getting another if she can but that is unlikely.

History: Cassiopeia's parents were both immigrants to America. Her mother, Varvara Avromovitch, was from a town in Oregon called Lathsope and had planned to work at NASA. (hence her name.) Her father who had immigrated from Armenia, Ara Hovhannisyan, to Salem, Oregon. Cassia was born in Lathsope, but she had always wanted to wander. She got into trouble as a child and befriended children from neighboring cities that were often called 'hoodrats', one friend, Jeremiah, taught her how to pick locks. Cassia used this to her advantage, she got into every nook and cranny of her family's apartment. At the start of the apocalypse Cassia was only twelve. While the first few weeks were easy, her parents fell after zombies broke into their house. Cassia tried to be helpful in the settlement but she never find her place among them. When she turned eighteen, she told everyone goodbye and took off to find her own fortune. While on the road she met Parker, the leader of her past mercenary group. She joined the mercenaries in their travels, where she proved to be a formidable force. The group (nicknamed the Myrmidons) would often be paid to track people down or retrieve stolen goods. For the eight years Cassia made decent pay off of the group. Not to mention the useful skills she had picked up like: using weapons better and intimidation. A interested party made a sweet offer to stop attacks on a small, peaceful settlement in Lebanon, Oregon. The group spent weeks traveling till they found tracks of the killers. While the pay off was big enough (ten Ak47's for their group), she was nervous about how it'd turn out. They had underestimated the strength of the bandits, which ultimately led to the slaughter of almost all of their group. Cassia barely made it out alive, taking a bullet to the shoulder blade and a slash to the torso. Her teammate, Parker, managed to drag her out of the fight before she fell. To stop her from bleeding out, Parker sewed her up with surgical thread from a first aid kit he found while scavenging. From the lack of sanitary conditions, her wounds became infected. Parker had to travel to every medical center in the vicinity to try to find antibiotics. It took nearly a month before Cassia could move around again. When she was healed enough to where she could travel by herself, she decided to go home. She had her years of excitement... but now all she wants is some peace and quiet. What will happen when Cassiopeia finally makes it home? 

Profession: Ex- Mercenary 

Skills: Guns, intimidation and lockpicking.

Weapons: Remington Model 870 (shotgun), and a bowie knife. She picked these off of a freshly killed (by a walker) human corpse, luckily enough they hadn't been picked up.

Health conditions: Cassia suffers from minor colds every now and then, and has severe migraines. Like stated previously, she has muscle damage in her core and in her right shoulder.
