f.c ben barnes
Cas is 5โ10, tall enough for him. Heโs athletic, but
not very muscular - being more agile and fast than
brawny. This man does not tan easily; and despite
the fact heโs spent most of his time abroad, he is
rather pale. His brunette hair is long, it is layered
- with the pieces around the front of his face cut
shorter and curled back. Casโ eyes are hazel, but
the brown ring around his iris is so uniform itโs looks
like he has central heterochromia. Most of the time
he is clean shaven, but sometimes he just canโt be
bothered - and becomes covered in facial scruff
in a matter of days.
He is littered in tattoos. His parents often
expressed their hatred for the artwork, and Cas
took that as his sign to get as many as he could.
Most of them are limited to his back, torso and
upper arms; but he does have a few more visible
such as some odd symbols on the back of his neck.
Unsurprisingly, he also has a fair range of piercings.
Both his earlobes are pierced, he also has a rook
piercing and two helixโs in his left ear. He tried a
few times to have his nose and eyebrow pierced,
but he just fiddled too much with the jewellery.
His dress sense is also something of a mystery.
Cas can be seen wearing fancy and tailored
suits if he feels like going to a more pretentious
party - but most often heโs in moreโฆ dark and
grundge-esc wear. Ripped black jeans with an
oversized band shirt and a hoodie or leather
jacket. Letโs not forget his combat boots.
Overall, he could be found wearing pretty much
anything. Flannel shirts, joggers, bomber
jackets, cargo trousers, you name it - heโs
probably worn it. Half of his clothes have
also been stolen from other people on his
travels, so heโs got a bit of a blend in the
olโ suitcase.
Much like the rest of his personality, he
has a rather dramatic mode of transport.
Proud father of a black turbine superbike,
all he really needed was to be told that
it was one of the fastest, if not the fastest
motorbike that existed and he was sold.
Itโs not the most practical vehicle - but
itโs a great party trick and taking people
on joyrides typically lands him a nice few
free drinks. His driving speed can be a bit..
daunting. But casโ response is a typical
โSpeed has never killed anyone,
suddenly becoming stationary? Thatโs
whatโll get you!โ

__________________________________basic info__________________________________
Cassiopeia, or more commonly โcasโ, was born to a wealthy family in London.
The Baileyโs were a rich family, the home and wealth being passed through generations;
because of this, they had a rather old-fashioned sense of doing things - attending galas
and fancy social parties. Forcing Cas to take etiquette classes, making him go as far as
even meeting other children from other families in the hopes of forming connections.
Cas, however, was never really the child his parents wanted him to be. To start with they
wanted a daughter, which Cas was very adamantly not. They wanted someone quiet,
malleable, a child who was obedient - Cas was loud, stubborn and defiant. His parents
tried to have more kids, but ultimately Cas remained an only child - which was likely
the sole reason he wasnโt disowned. His parents tried to break him in for years, pulling
on the reigns whilst Cas chomped at the bit. The only thing they got right with him was
his name - an incredibly dramatic sounding name. Cassiopeia is a constellation in the
northern sky, bright and bold. Technically it was named after a female figure, but Cas
didnโt care to change it - it was too irregular of a name for that to even matter to the boy.
Cas ran away multiple times during his childhood, not willing to put up with the torment
of his parents. Eventually, when he was sixteen they were both victims to a fatal car
accident - and overnight their entire fortune went to Cas. Most kids would be distraught
at losing their only family so young - but Cas was more conflicted on it. He wasnโt sure what
to do with himself, he didnโt make any connections in his parentโs world and was often seen
as nothing more than a scuff mark on their name, and now he was all that was left of it.
Naturally, instead of seeking out support, Cas turned to partying. He travelled the world,
dropping out of school and living life so fast that his past couldnโt ever catch up to him.
He hasnโt had a chance to really โgrow-upโ yet, he has no sense of what he wants to do in life,
and instead looks for anyway to entertain himself - which usually ends up with him in the
back of a police car, or with his face plastered all over social media; having passed out
drunk in a random place. Usually the life of a party, the center of a truth or dare game, he
can make friends wherever he goes - but he rarely ever keeps them around. Thereโs been a
few throughout the years that heโs grown fond of - but theyโre living their own lives,
settled in their own countries.
There was one exception - and that was MJ. Cas met him whilst on a trip to America, and the
pair kicked it off like a house on fire. Eventually they decided to date, and Cas would still go
off exploring on his own, but would return home to MJ. MJ even occasionally joined him, and
Cas was infatuated with every single second of it. As with all good things, something had to
go wrong. MJ decided that he was ready to for the next step - wanting to move in together.
So he did the worst thing he could possibly have done, Cas had been back in the states for not
even three days and MJ got down on one knee and proposed - asking Cas to stay, permanently.
The man spooked, commitment was not his strong suit and the idea of settling down scared him
to no ends. Mj didnโt even get a chance to talk it through with Cas, when he woke up the next
morning, Cas was gone - the only evidence that their relationship had even existed was a short
post-it note and a clip with a few hundred dollars of consolation money.
That had been the last Cas had heard of Mj, he threw himself back into his busy lifestyle - not
giving himself the chance to regret what he had done. It haunted him, the guilt gnawing away
at him like a dog to a bone. Every night heโd brush it off though, and eventually Mj became
a ghost - someone that just haunted him in his dreams. Fast forward a year later, and the next
thing Cas hears on the news is the fact Mj has been found dead. That wasnโt his problem, Mj
was just another ex-lover now. The party-goer didnโt even attend the funeral, too ashamed to
face Mjโs family after everything. And then that damned clue arrived at his doorstep. His dead
almost fiancรฉ deciding it would be funny to get Cas involved. A simple piece of paper along with
the short note Cas had left, and then of course the engagement ring. Cas took the bait - maybe
this would be his chance to repent his sins and finally redeem himself - stopping Mj from
haunting his dreams once and for all.
