[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=background,http://i53.tinypic.com/2dvq6j6.jpg,true][atrb=width,453,true] GENERAL INFORMATION NAME: Caedes Iluistina NICKNAMES: Des RACE: Human AGE: 24 GENDER: Male SEXUALITY: Heterosexual RESIDENCE: Nomad OCCUPATION: Pirate PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION REFLECTION: Caedes stood in front of the mirror, with his hands the pockets of brown trousers cuffed at the bottom of the leg, and tucked into a pair of high boots. Without a shirt on the carefully exposed lines of his scars added detail to his torso, cutting over the sides, shoulders, and chest indiscriminately. In some cultures those marks would be revered as combat knowledge, if in fact he had taken anything away from such instances, but he didn't. Lazy gray eyes started back over his figure, turning this way and that, giving a small flex of his muscles, his compact musculature made it difficult to understand, or rather comprehend that he packed so much power; as it had all been balanced with a regimented cardio-routine. Carefully he tucked a few stray strands of his hair behind his ear, the swarthy purple hair that extended down to the bottom of his back. Silky smooth, and often worn tied near the end. Leaning closer to the mirror Caedes put hands on either sides, leaning in snarling almost, pristine white teeth grit together as he examined them the best he could. Eventually yawning, only to keep his mouth open trying to see if he had something stuck in his tooth. Standing at approximately 5'10, Caedes had to stoop to get a better look at himself in the looking glass. The last he weighed in, he was about 166 lbs mostly muscle, with a small percentage of fat. FACE CLAIM: Bleach - Ichigo PERSONALITY AND MORE THE GOOD: Caedes first underlying personality trait is charisma. The magnetic pull of a particular person, or the unspoken charm that brings people together. Either way Caedes is full of it, not a soft spoken person by far, as his loud mouth and huge boasts have gotten him into more trouble than he would care to recount. Regardless his kind heart seems to beacon through even with that, calm eyes, nimble mind, and the grin of confidence are the hooks that may tug at the soul to draw people in. Astoundingly aware of how to use leadershipqualities, never asking anymore than he would care to do for himself; though he may tell a joke or two to lighten the mood. Caedes would sleep with his troops, eats with his troops, and fights shoulder to shoulder with them. Sometimes even bearing their burdens to help them along. Adaptability , it is one of Caedes' gems, remember the nimble mind? While most of the time he is headstrong, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to his approach, there is a tactician that is laying in wait. Even if on the slim chance that his plan doesn't exactly go his way, he always assumes everything is a moving variable, with other pieces that could be interchanged. This adaptive quality, has proven itself successful in many situations, but its low percentage fail rate, seems to be a glaringly obvious factor. Caedes is a simple man, simple and stubborn. His strong willed refusal to bend, or buckle, makes it really difficult for him to interact with someone who feels so strongly the opposite way as him. Caedes is the type that won't sacrifice his values, views, or opinions for the sake of someones feelings. Though he doesn't try to sway or coerce people to his side. Quite frankly he is pretty arrogant, well, he is self confident but that masks itself as bullheaded arrogance. Or maybe he is just a bit of both. Exaggerated thoughts of self are what help him sleep at night, they are the ones that bring the smile to his face, and the recognition of their truth is what fuels him to step forward and onward THE BAD: Caedes has a horrible temper, one that would even rival the flames of hell. This factor usually leads to temper traps in the form of bar-fights, run ins with the law both of which have gained him some sort of recognition in slammers through out different provinces. Though he has definitely tried to pull the reigns on his fiery vengeance, more often than not he is on the losing side of that battle. At least lately he has been able to somewhat restrain himself. Caedes has never really been an extreme well of patience, though he is generally far too lazy to be extremely proactive. Though he tries to prevent it from getting in his way, there are frequent times where he would much rather prefer a nap over getting up to do actual work. When he does decide to get off his rump and devise a solid plan, it generally consists of feeding his greed by stealing something or another; surprisingly enough he is a fairly good thief. Caedes as sweet, and charming as he is has also been known to have the run of the mill insensitivity, intentionally looking to poke, prod, pry and provoke his adversaries into action. Which wouldn't be so affective if he wasn't so nonchalant, while always accepting, those that are regarded as enemies are often looked down at. Either that or they are completely regarded, not even given a fraction of his attention. BELIEF: Caedes believes in people, he believes in their ability to change the face of the future. He also believes in his personal ability to grab fate by the horns and bend her to his will. By his definition there is no higher power that could provide him with such self surety save for himself. LIKES AND HOBBIES:Overall Caedes thoroughly enjoys making those fundamental bonds through friendship that keep you coming back, not as a form of manipulation, but as a sincere effort to forge bridges that can be crossed forever. While the status given to him maybe a red flag for some, it is generally the one barrier that stands between him, and people trusting him. Typically he is a very friendly person, and welcomes those of different trades regardless of their past, and thrives off of that trust. At his core he is somewhat dependent on these social ties. Along those lines of likes and dependencies, he wishes for adventure. The breeze in the hair, a soft call of the birds, or the loud boom of a hand-cannon going off behind you as even a single misplaced step will lead you to your demise, these situations are Caedes' favorite. With no risk there is no reward, and without adventure to spice up your life, there is no point in living. Some small escapades such as sneaking through quite grounds of a rich ambassador, to looting the riches out of someones bank box, or the most cunning pick-pocket every rush of adrenaline seems to bolster his confidence ever more. Also on this extremely short list of likes is food, his favorite being any sort of roasted pork, or chicken. Delectable dishes that douse the taste buds in a sweet dance of delight, but it isn't just any food, his tastes have become quite particular over the years. Expensive desserts, or heaps of beef stacked high that even his eyes marvel in delight, and his nose screams to the brain in sheer joy. For every ounce of ambition that racks him to the core, there is an equal if not greater bout of laziness. When not on the job, or even on the job he could be found napping on a landing, relaxing on a banister, or even curled up in the bed of a mark. It is probably the lack of care that lands him in the troubles that he crosses, though it wouldn't hurt to blame the laziness too. But when he isn't day-dreaming about his next plunder, or if he will ever make it back up into the sky on his own ship, he does dabble in many other hobbies. To name a few, he greatly enjoys running, be it away from authorities, or across rooftops its generally just the sensation of wind hitting his face. Caedes spends a good majority of his morning, or rather evening shadow boxing, keeping his skills sharpened for any altercation that might occur; definitely of his own accord. DISLIKES AND TURN-OFFS: As an extremely active person, he hates being bed ridden, if at any costs he will fight against it, fight through it, or even fight with it. Regardless of how lazy he is, if it's not by his own choice to stay in one spot it causes him to get antsy. Chalked up to an occupational paranoia tied to the stigma of being a sitting duck. And so we begin detailing, or at least touching on the things that really grind Caedes' gears as he would say. While it isn't a hate for cowards, it is more so a distaste for their tactics. Shrewd, sneaky creatures a coward is, and their lack of guts is utmost irritating. Far be it from him to say what is right and what is wrong, but at the depths of his courageous character he can't bare to look a coward in the eyes, or even be in the same room as the sniveling lot. Caedes hates being told what to do, how to do it, or the best ways to go about a particular one thing. Probably because he sees no fault or flaw in his designs, though he doesn't much mind the strokes to the ego, and subtle suggestion. It was mentioned before that he loves food, it was possibly not addressed that he is a strict carnivore. Vile green healthy things, their consumption comes with great fight; if he is to eat even one of those putrid leafy, or bitter tasting dishes he immediately picks them out, or just pushes them to the side. Honestly whichever is more convenient, sometimes he would much rather starve than buckle to the idea of eating them. However, the thought of eating them is coupled, if not topped by his dislike for extremely hot places, something to do with the quick dehydration that drives him mad. Caedes doesn't mind the sweating, or the constant sun, it has to do with the heat in and of itself. Some suspect that it was the fault of his parents, who left him in a building that had no real ventilation. No one dares ask about it. ASPIRATIONS: Caedes dreams of being the captain of his own crew, nay, that would be too small of a dream for him—he dreams of being the King of all the Sky Pirates. Simply because he sees the benefits of having them all unified underneath one single banner. The idea itself fills his heart with a turbulent wave of excitement, so far he has joined up with one crew, only to be tossed off the boat for his inability to subdue a woman hostage. LOOKING BACK: His fondest memory...hm..he would have to say that it would be the last moments with his father. While his dad wasn't a world re-known pillager, or a famous soldier Bredford Iluistina was a brave man. A forger of weapons, and a great father that instilled the ideas of freedom, and pursuit of dreams inside of Caedes. But the last tidbit of wisdom that was passed from father to son was as Bredford wasted away on his deathbed. “As a father I have been most pleased to watch you grow. You are destined for horrible trials, but great deeds. Even if they threatened to kill you, make sure that your life is one you would love people to remember you by..” It was then that Caedes took his first steps toward becoming the Pirate King, taking one of his fathers swords, and a cloak setting out into the world. The significance of those words have shaped who he has become as a person, though rough around the edges, at the core of his personality there are nothing but good intentions for whatever the outcomes would or would not be. Living up to his fathers ideal of what 'good' was has been a trial in and of itself, so it presented a strong foundation for growth of character, and expansion of his views—leaving him quite open minded. Though that memory is a double edged sword, with the removal of his father, and the situation under which he died, there is a latent animosity. A particular distaste for the soldiers, and armies alike—as it was one of their stray bullets, from an inexperienced field soldier that took his dad down. In a situation that didn't even require the draw of a fire arm to begin with, that was the real stab through the chest. Said soldier was only trying to show that he had proper skills to a female comrade. Knowing this Caedes has developed a lack of faith in present authority, thus has jaded him against all those who he feels aren't quite fit to lead, or even maintain a ranking position. Also even the slightest mention of father, in insult or just seems to set off his increasingly short temper. There is a heavy stone of depression that still weighs on him, but vengeance against the military burns brighter. MISCELLANY: Caligynephobia – A little know fact, that is often, or really addressed at all is Caedes' discriminatory fear of women. Discriminatory mainly because of his perception of what is attractive or not, there for in the presence of one of the women he would consider highly attractive he would initially lose all manly strength, preferably through a timid, completely opposite personality of his own. Easily deterred by this small phobia from completely simple tasks such as going to the bathroom, breathing, swimming, eating, or even defending himself if an attractive woman is within earshot.
