Appearance
Cassius stands at a tall six foot four inches. His body is broad and well matured for his age. Lean and lengthy,muscle creating defined curves to his body. He has short black hair and deep smokey gray eyes, that at times turn an animalistic yellow. Despite his natural color being black, Cassius can often be found changing colors on a whim. His skin looks fair in nature, coming off as flawless and almost porcelain. He has been told he looks more like a god or unreal in nature due to the physical perfection he is.

Personality
Cassius is a bold personality. He is forward and direct, saying what is on his mind without hesitation. He is very playful in nature, one who loves a good game of cat and mouse with anyone who peeks his interest. One who loves both men and women, is is not shy about his sexuality. He has little trouble flirting, or using what he has 'asset' wise in many cases. He loves a good challenge, more of the type to hit on those who will give him a bit of a run, rather than those who will simply swoon and give him what he wants.

That's not to say that he wont use others affection and desire for him to his advantage at times if he needs to. He is very charming and carismatic, knowing how to talk his way through any situation. He is commented to have his own unique flare in his mannerisms, he is comfortable in his own body and being, seeing no point in hiding that. Cassius loves to party, often one to throw large and extravagent ones. He loves a good strong drink, as well as a spicy meal.

He is the type who dislikes taking much bull outside of a friendly setting. Those who get on his nerves, are quickly met with a more spicy version of him as well. It is not simply that he turns dark, but a definite icy edge picks up around him. He becomes more 'flexable' with the kindness of his magic. He is quick witted and tongued, tying back into his forward and direct ways. He is always one to enjoy a good word game with another, as well as a good solid conversation. He has been called flamboyant at times, though he is not overly girly in nature. Though comfortable with his sexuality, he is capable of being the dominant one wearing the pants in the conversation or relationship.

Flip side to that, he is also comfortable being the one on the recieving end in them as well. Despite his edgy nature, he is really a kind and generous man at heart. He does enjoy playing with people, tugging at their strings a lot, but he knows when to pull back. He is fiercely loyal and faithful to those he cares for, willingly putting himself in danger of death only for them. He does not mind assisting others, though some of the time it comes with an ulterior motive. He enjoys making deals, though far less dark in nature than the head family. Most of his deals include something to either tease the other, or that will please them both.

He is not one to outright take advantage of someone though, nor is he the type to ask another to take a life. He has a certain way of presenting himself around people, he is always composed and in control of himself. He enjoys the way others see him as a god, or something higher. It is most of the time only behind closed doors with his partner, or with his most trusted friends, that he lets down his guard and relaxes truly. Though he is one for a strong drink, or even stronger love, this flip side changes him. Within it, he is the type to enjoy sitting back with a nice simple glass of wine and a good book.

Away from the noise and flashing lights that he craves and the crowds. This often leads there to be two separate sides to his life that he keeps separate and almost secret from the other. This leads to people being shocked to find out he has a warmer side. He loves bold colors in his bolder style, reds, blues, greens and more. One darker color that makes him happy, is black, especially his black cloak coat. He is not much for a sweet tooth, though he does have a love of cheesecake, which is an odd weakness for his personality. He can be a bit of a mystery, not giving all of himself away. He has many surprises up his sleeves.

Cassius though a party boy in many ways, has a natural born leader side of himself. He has little trouble with taking charge and leading. As the Order's leader, it is his place to take care of most of the hard hitting business that comes with it. He can be a bit of a procrastinate at times, often seeming more aloof and put off by the thought of serious work. However, he understands that it must be done, and that many lives depend on him to do his work. He takes pride in his position, the name he has made for himself and what he has done in the name of helping others and protecting the original dream. He is a quick study, able to think on his feet and react in situations as needed. He is always evolving, and loves seeing how the world around him does as well.

Powers/Abilities
Being a worlock, Cassius possesses the power of magic, to which he is able to use in a variety of ways. He is familiar with both light and dark magic, as well as necromancy magic. Though he prefers not to mess with it. He also possesses the powers of a werewolf. He is most powerful when in full wolf form, but in human form he is able to still use a variety of werewolf powers. Such as, the ability of super strength, though not as strong as in full wolf mode. He is also in human form, able to use his heightened senses, speed, durability and more. Though as with his strength, their not as powerful in human form as in wolf form. Cassius is also immortal. This means a few things. He will never age, after reaching his prime in his twenties, his body remains as such. He also has a high resistance to many sicknesses and poisons through his time in the world. Basically, he will never die if left alone, but he can die from physical wounds.

Meaning if his heart is damaged beyond repair, or if he is met with a wound he can not heal, yes he will die. He is able to hold his own in hand to hand fights, though he prefers to avoid such barbaric fighting if he can. He also has a high tolerance to alcohol and many drugs. He has been around for quite some time and being a lover of parties, he has done his fair share of experimenting. He also is an avid musician, able to play a variety of instruments. His favorite is the piano, a composer of sorts. A hidden talent of his, is that he is also quite a good singer, at times gracing his club with his voice. Cassius has many odd and different talents, that he have developed over the years of his life. He is prides himself in being able to adapt and grow, being able to learn new things quickly and efficiently.

Cassius has a fail safe ability. When harmed mortally to the point where he looses consciousness and is unable to defend himself, his magic takes effect. He is surrounded by a powerful magical shield that keeps everyone out, in order to let his healing and healing magic take effect. A large drawback to this, is while it keeps all out, it keeps out both bad and good. This means, it keeps out potentially those who are trying to help him as well, until he regains conscious enough to drop the shield himself. The only other way it will drop, is if the wound gets the better of him and he is either very close to death, or has already passed. Cassius also has an ability that few know of. He is mentally and physically in tune with the supernatural and magical energies of the world. He is able to keep it in check for the most part, but there are times when he is unable to simply brush it off, such as when he lets his guard down or during sleep.

This connection, allows him the abilities of being able to sense the species of others. Meaning he can tell if someone is a wolf, vampire, etc. He can also feel a relative extent to their power. Meaning he can tell if their very powerful, or not so much. He is also able to in a sense tell the intent behind other's emotions and energies. A sort of empathy. He can sense when there is ill intent or danger, when trouble is coming and more. He can tell for the most part how another is feeling due to the energies around them. He is also in a sense a conduit for the energy. Meaning it is attracted to him. It flows through him, feeding him with enough of it at times like when he lets his guard down, leads to the manifestation of actual images or 'visions' of events to come or that are and have happening or happened. He is able to meditate, which allows him to tap in fully to this ability. A draw back, is while he is meditating, he is completely in tune with the energies. This leaves his physical body vulnerable and open to attack.

His werewolf form stands at well over eight feet tall. It's coloring is referred to as more of that of a husky, with a white underbelly and a black back and markings on his face and tail. This is more due to the fact of the presence of both good and evil within him. The white coloring reminiscent of the light while the black of the dark. He also has a series of magical markings, such as the ones upon his face, that glow upon his fur. They are thought to be related to his energy, as well as the magical and supernatural energies that he is in tune with. In this form, if he is killed, the glow from the markings will go out.

Weapons/Equipment
Cassius does not carry any weapons with him. He is more appalled by them for the most part, finding many of them barberic. He really has little on his physical being at times, since he is able to summon what he needs through his magic. The one thing he is never without however, is a blue orb It is about the size of a baseball, and it is often questioned why he has it.

Biography
Cassius has been around for quite some time. As a result, he has seen many things within the world. His exact origins are a mystery, no one really knows much about his early years. He does at times enjoy telling stories about his older days, but his very early times are a conversation better left off limits. It is known, that Cassius was an aprintace to a powerful worlock during his early years. He learned the trades of both light and dark magic. He was gifted from a young age as well, able to learn complicated spells that took years to master in days. It was not hard to see that he was destined for something more.

As he grew, he saw much of the problems that plagued the world. War, famine, genocide and more were happening over the years. He saw kings taken down, others rise to power, and the rise of the supernatural. Cassius was around when the humans began to learn about the supernatural creatures that romed the world around them. Many saw them simply as a threat, and proceeded to treat them as such. They sought to end them, to get rid of them, before they could do any damage. Cassius was among those who sought peace, a path that led to both worlds being able to live in harmony.

As a result, a friend of his decided to step up and begin creating a haven for those of the supernatural world. When Cassius inquired about what the man would name this heaven of his, he was me with the name 'Lazrus'. Cassius believed in his friend, in the vision that he saw. As such, it was placed in the hands of this man and his family to lead the new world. Cassius stood by him as an advisor, as a friend as well. When locations were divid up, Cassius was the only one not of the family's blood to be given his own domain. For years, life was good. It was not perfect, there were incidents happening around the world. Both supernatural and human beings often crossed.

Though as time passed, the supernatural world faded more and more into the background, which is what the head family desired. They were no longer hunted and sought to die. As the years began to pass, his friend and head of the family felt the effects of the time. Being a man of magic, Cassius himself felt the effects of immortality. He did not age past his prime, always remaining handsome and young. His friend would often tease him about such, telling him he would be sought after through the years by many suitors easily. Cassius had never had the guts to tell him, but the one he was in love with for the first real time, was in fact this friend.

When the other finally passed, Cassius was the one who held respective services for him. Cassius remained friends with many of the other members of the family. However, he began to notice trouble when the matriarch was gone. Those who had control, sought to change things. They wanted to expand their territory, to change borders, some even began to want to change the roll that the supernatural world played in the human one. As the original member faded away, others rose to take their place. Lazrus spread out to have hold in many countries of the world. The main hub remained within the central city of New York.

Over time, the members of the family began to think of themselves as higher than those around them. This caused them to become more and more unhappy with the fact that someone outside of the family had power and territory. This caused them to try and out Cassius. He felt more and more that they were disrespecting what Lazrus was originally meant to be. Thus, in the late eighteen hundreds, he severed ties with the family completely. He began to use his own power and reign in order to continue the haven that the original creator had desired.

The matriarch that was currently in power at that time became furious, he took it as an act of discrace and war. As a result, he sought to have Cassius killed. He hired an assassin, a werewolf. Cassius was asked to meet a lover of his at the time for a date, only to come in on a gruesome scene of the other brutally malled and killed. He became furious, when the assassin attacked him. A battle errupted between the two, one that caused Cassius to release a darker side of himself. The lover had been a good friend, one that he had become close to and that he suspected was any day about to propose marriage between the two of them.

He had watched many in his life come and go, due to his immortality, which seeing the one he was with murdered brought to a head. Cassius was injured badly during the fight, including being bittin. He managed to make it home, the wolf who had attacked him killed. It took him days to recover, flickering back and forth between life and death. His will and heart managed to allow him to live. He cursed himself, angry for allowing himself to become so soft and vulnerable at the time. He began working with his magic once more, and as he became aware of the extent of the damage done by the bite, he became skilled in his new wolf power as well.

He took the attack, making himself stronger in turn. This only succeeded in infuriating the monarch at the time, who labeled him an enemy of the family. It was forbidden to interact with him, doing so would be considered an act against the family. This did not stop many though. They continued to live in his territory, continued to enjoy his parties and his care. He became over time of a group called the Order, a group who believed in the original values of the Lazrus. Many seek him out for help, especially if the head family is concerned. He is the biggest threat to the family, and it is rumored that he is leading the beginnings of a rebellion against them.

Extra
