Cassiel G. Wiles
Cassiel Gerard Wiles (a.k.a. Cas, Lepus)
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
One could say Cassiel is as close to a rabbit as a person can possibly be: small, nimble. He's not the most physically fit, at least in the sense that his muscles aren't very well toned. He makes up for that with swiftness and agility though.
Body Features
It's unclear whether his hair has been dyed by himself, or if it's natural - white, with a bit of the top being brown, giving off the illusion that his roots are brown.
Facial Features
At first glance, his face gives off rather otherworldy vibes. His red eyes and dark brown eyebrows allows him to look even scarier than he actually is most of the time. Said red eyes is probably his most noticeable feature as well, since it's either completely unnatural or a sign of a higher being, depending on location.
Special abilities
His most common weapon is the metal claws strapped to his wrists.
Apparel & Accessories
Cassiel's most prominent article of clothing is a long, black coat. So long in fact, that the end of it almost reaches the ground. Otherwise he prefers to wear things that have any means of hiding himself. Hoods, for example.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Cassiel doesn't remember much. He knows that he comes from the Nether, has been created by it, and acquired his current physical form by it. His entire period spent there is a blur however - all he's certain of, is that he's always had someone by his side. A kind, feminime voice who, despite her own struggles and problems, always came to sit by him at the end of the day. He received all the knowledge about how the world works from her, even if her own personal bias came into play every once in a while.
The moment his time finally came to arrive in the real world, it felt like his entire memory got wiped apart from vague bits here and there. Driven by what he still knows has been given to him as a duty, he hadn't let that stop him from achieving his goal - getting rid of the threat known as Orion.
His entire existence revolved around these two things for what feels like forever to him. The need to figure out what has happened to him, and the paranoia that fuels him to keep on running from danger. Essentially, that is what Lepus, as a strain, is. The rabbit who's destinied to be running from the small gang of dogs after it, the never ending chase.
At the beginning of the series, that's what embodies Cassiel completely. Fear, confusion, determination. The only reason he got in a normal conversation was solely to get some sort of information out of the person, regarding Orion's whereabouts and wants. Whereabouts, to ensure that he would not cross their path directly, and wants, to mess everything up for them just to spite them and make everything harder than it needs to be. Violence became a fairly normal thing. Not fully trusting anyone was given. Staying in one place for too long would be a death sentence.
Needless to say, he absolutely hated his own existence. It felt cruel, pointless. Unfair.
It never truly dawned on him that this sort of thinking drew the difference between being a strain and having an individual identity. An identity that he wanted so badly, and yet the mere thought of that was already proof that he wasn't a soulless, mindless vessel with the task of running.
Given the opportunity to be part of the CCD was a game changer. Of course, he rejected the invitation right away - he didn't belong anywhere, after all. He didn't want to belong anywhere. It was thanks to Allen's stubbornness that kept the chance around long enough for Cassiel to give in and join - at first, only for a short period of time. The idea was to stick around for a few months, get rid of Orion (or not) and go on. However, the things that have happened while being a pretend-member, his teammates... it all started to make him change his mind.
Maybe he can be somebody now.
Employment
Cassiel works as a member of the CCD. Even though he has a lot to learn about the world as of right now, he's still a valuable asset to the team due to his skills.
Morality & Philosophy
Although Cassiel doesn't necessarily enjoy acts such as violence, murder, theft, and so on... he still tends to take part in them. If something has to be done for whatever reason, then he holds little regard for the process.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Killing Orion - later as it turned out to be, Alexander - sounds like such a simple goal, and he has yet to achieve that still. His only way of explaining that specific goal is the desire to be free. A chance to get out of this vicious cycle, a chance to have a self not built around paranoia, a chance to live. Anything that doesn't help or hinder this cause doesn't matter, at least not until it's done.
Virtues & Personality perks
Cassiel has a strong sense of responsibility unlike any other.
Vices & Personality flaws
Perhaps the obsessive determination to achieve his very specific goal came with more flaws than he anticipated. He fails to realize that just because something is not done, doesn't mean that he's devoid of a personality at the moment. This has caused him to disregard himself in the past, and not caring to self-analyze in the slightest.
This has actually contributed to feeling trapped. Since this way of thinking and being is all he's ever knew, it's a sort of messed up "order". He knows the rules, the possibilities. Change is even more terrifying than being murdered, because it's completely unknown. Due to that, there have been cases where he self-sabotaged himself when he was close to helping himself achieve his goal without even realizing, putting him back to where he's started just to feel comfortable in what he already knows.
A different kind of flaw is his hot temper. He's not exactly in tune with his emotions, and as such, he can be set off by almost anything with no warning beforehand.
