Written Description
His complexion is extremely pale, so much so that it often makes him stand out from those around him. The ghostly complexion complements his mako infused eyes, giving him an almost otherworldly appearance.
He has a deceptively slight build, his black clothing hiding a muscled physique beneath. The torso hugging top he wears is covered by a full length cloak that stops just above the heel of his foot. A black hat finishes his attire, blending in with the rest of his gear.
Hidden behind his lips are a set of elongated canine teeth, a side effect of being imbued with the DNA of Anima. From his lips comes a voice that is both intelligent and menacing, a bass note that is filled with authority.
Personality
Caius is a determined character, entirely focussed on his mission from planning until completion. This determination is what got him to 1st Class, making him stand out from the others at his earlier grades. Outside of operations he takes in the world around him, exploring and learning all he can. He seeks to expand his horizons and knowledge in whatever way he can.
He is a merciful individual and that is what endears him to his fans. He always provides his enemies with an out before he begins. Those who accept are allowed to walk free, those who don't...die. He would prefer the worlds problems be solved through diplomacy but is not so naive to think that's possible. His long term goal is peace in the world and he realises that his skills must be used to make that a reality.
Background
He was born and raised in the slums of Midgar by his mother, never knowing his father. His mother worked in the Honey Bee Inn as one of the "main attractions", but it wasn't until he grew older that Caius understood the sacrifice his mother made to try and provide for him. Mountains of books and enough food to keep him healthy, Caius' youth was filled with reading the history of the world.
During his teenage years his mother fell ill, eventually succumbing to her illness six months later. The time that followed was hard for Caius, she was his world and now he was alone. He wandered the slums for a few days before he came across the train station. A uniformed Shinra soldier stood on the platform proclaiming wealth, fame and the chance to make a real difference awaited aboard the train. Caius boarded the train to his future.
Caius achieved SOLDIER 3rd class with ease and achieved 2nd class with little more effort. He stagnated at 2nd class for a while, his honest and sometimes blunt approach upsetting his superiors and thus stalling his progress. It wasn't to be completely stopped however, he finally achieved SOLDIER 1st class after the Wutai War. (Your character does not need to have gone through all the ranks to reach Rank 1. SOLDIER 1st Class is not a promotable rank. You either possess the skills to be a First Class SOLDIER or you don't. Therefore, most SOLDIERs will finish out their careers as either 3rd Class SOLDIERS or 2nd Class SOLDIERs. If he was a 2nd Class SOLDIER, then he was a commander of SOLDIERs beneath him and Shinra Troops. This rank is only given to those SOLDIERs who possess leadership potential. Otherwise, a SOLDIER can just be 3rd Class their entire career. So you can go Shinra Troop to 1st Class SOLDIER, 3rd Class to 1st Class SOLDIER, or 2nd Class to 1st Class SOLDIER, as long as the character possesses the necessary qualities. So in the end, you need to change in your character's background the implication that he could have been promoted to it. If the character possessed the skills of a SOLDIER First Class, then the superior's and how they feel wouldn't matter.)He was tasked with defending a key road from a potential counter attack. He and those with him were assured the counter attack would not come as the Wutai forces would be too busy defending an assault from Shinra. As it happened, that Shinra assault ended up stalling due to logistical issues. A day after the proposed assault stalled, Wutai learned of Shinra's difficulties and made a move for the road Caius was defending. Over one thousand Wutai troops descended on Caius and the other Shinra troops who totalled 140. The battle lasted for a full night before the Wutai forces retreated. In the aftermath the Shinra soldiers all told the same story of Caius, a fierce warrior, intelligent commander and selfless man. Within a week of the story reaching Midgar, Caius found himself being promoted to SOLDIER 1st class. (There's a bit of background conflict here. If you PM @Double, then you guys can straighten out the Wutai War conflict and the events that went down.)As time has moved on since his promotion, the increased freedom provided by his rank has meant that his inquisitive mind has exposed some cracks in his loyalty to Shinra. Visiting every corner of the world, speaking to many different people, he saw just how the company affected everyone. He still works for Shinra but ultimately see's it as his best chance to help move the world forward.
Summon Genome
Anima
Weapon
A crescent, double edged longsword measuring 66". Materia can be placed into the hilt of the sword.
Materia
(Ultima, Time, Shield, and Enemy Skill. What do these have to do with Anima? Anima's abilities are: Physical attack, Pain, Oblivion, Demi, Dispel. Your "Destruct" selection is suitable, but if you can pick materia a little closer to Anima's abilities (as close as you can get), then that will work.)The materia you list here is related to the summon you chose. For all characters who have chosen a summon with “Instant Death,” Instant Death will not work on Mini Boss or Boss enemies. They can work on minions since many minions will be cannon fodder, but you cannot one-shot a boss. Sorry. Reference a Final Fantasy wikia to get some ideas for the materia and spells the summon uses. You should not have more than 5 skills here.
Limit Break
Blade of Blood: Caius plants his sword into the ground in front of him before clasping his hands together in front of his chest. Loose debris around him begins to elevate as a black aura begins to envelope the blade of his sword. Caius reaches out grabbing the sword, the aura then covering his body. No light penetrates the aura other than the a pair of red eyes from where's Caius' would be. He removes the sword from the ground as an otherworldly roar emanates from the heavens. Then in a blink he charges forward attacking all of his enemies. The aura lasts for ten strikes before dissipating.
Against standard enemies there is a chance for instant death. Attacks are non-elemental.
(What is the chance of an Instant Death? Because then you can roll a dice to determine it's success. You also need to commit this limit break to either a "single enemy" attack or a "multiple enemy" attack. Once you commit it, you can't use it in game for a single or a multiple, interchanging it depending on whatever situation.)
