personality prelude ➟ This RPW is a rather odd RPW that enjoys being different. He likes to be termed in a third person, using 'them, they' types of things, and will switch back and forth. He definitely comforms to his gender, no doubt- just enjoys having something 'weird,' as if he wasn't weird enough.
In his 'normal' form as one might call it, he's docile, friendly, and enjoys reading books on mythology! Cain is most of the time, pretty carefree. He won't be the first one to approach you, but if you approach him first, he's considerably joyful and friendly! Its rather odd, despite the fact he's decently shy. Cain is quite like Hideyoshi, and is especially witty and observant: thats why if he ever had to get a job, he often is remarked with saying that he would like to be a police detective. Its rather ironic, but since not many know about his half-ghoul status, no one really says anything. Cain works part time as a cafe worker, which allows him to know everyone, and knows who he would be able to 'prey' on when the time came. Cain doesn't like nicknames, as he considers himself a wonder of sorts and likes to be noted with his full name, as due respect.
He doesn't find things that interest him a lot, so once he finds something, Cain often sticks to it, sometimes spending years finetuning and over-working it until he finds something else that might somehow spike his interests. His current interest is music, which he likes to listen to while reading his mythology. Cain isn't sure why he's so interested in fake, old, historic tales, but he's been stuck on them.
If his noting of interests doesn't show, Cain is dedicated. It'll take vigour and someone more powerful than him multiple times to get him veered off of a 'mission' he's on, because Cain hates giving up. He's very cautious in his work, and is often teased for being 'doomed' the way he is and some sort of 'hero' by others.
On the note of others, he happens to get very attached. If he finds you of some worth, he might spend his free time stalking you around, implanting a listening device on you, and Cain won't be shaken off until he finds you interesting, or boring. We're not quite sure what happens if he finds you interesting, as he seems to take a polite liking to everyone but finds them boring every time.
Despite all this, he's actually pretty optimistic, polite, and pleasant. He's decently gentle, and seems to have a soft spot for cats. Cain is considered to be very modest as well, and often very selfless: he doesn't enjoy being a ghoul, even if its only a half ghoul, and would gladly prove that he's more RPW than ghoul. Generally, he's pretty sedated and doesn't do much if others pick on him, are mean, or the like, but he doesn't tolerate bullying of an innocent. He's extremely self contained as an individual, and is respectable. Cain can easily work in a group and listen to commands, but would be happiest working alone.

Cain has a good relationship with Fenrir, though its not by a short shot you'll see them together during a feeding. Partly because Cain doesn't enjoy killing without a 'cause', as he likes to call it, and because Cain's own personality whenever marked into a frenzy. They do get along quite fine in a normal mode, and are pretty close, though Cain would not hesitate in saying that Fenrir is indeed not his best friend.
---
Casimir and Cain get along pretty well, as Casimir finds what Cain does is alright: also because Casimir is a reckless prince, Cain is normally caught taking care of any issues the prince has. Conveniently, Casimir helps with Cain's hitman duties, mainly because Casimir is highly protective of the younger prince in his care, Silos: Cain enjoys such trade, as Casimir collects other RPW's paints, such as the special paint of Okamura Rin or Casimir's own uncommon paint. Casimir and Cain get along fairly well, and consider Casimir the closest person to him.
Casimir and Cain can be seen hanging out together quite often at the coffee shop where Cain works.
---
Silos and Cain aren't exactly what you'd call friends, since Cain happens to just tolerate Silos, as Silos is the small kouhai of Casimir. Silos often asks for Cain with help on coloring, as Silos carries around coloring books, and Cain quietly obliges. He doesn't entirely like Silos, but doesn't say anything. They get along fairly well on a take-it-as-needed basis, and don't really communicate, though they can peacefully inhabitant in the same spot.
Cain doesn't consider Silos a close friend like Casimir, but isn't sure what to call him. He doesn't consider him a friend, but not an acquaintance.
---
Cain doesn't make many enemies, but if he had to name one, it would be Aururo, with his big large mouth that never shuts up.
He absolutely dislikes this other Rainbow paint wolf with a passion, mainly because Aururo is something he dislikes the most: arrogant. While Aururo happens to bite his tongue, literally, Cain feels Aururo just needs to be silent and stop ruining everything for him. The two never physically fight, as Cain can never hurt the village loudmouthed idiot, because then he would be exposed, but the two are always in a constant verbal battle. Considering Aururo is older and is a fatherly figure to people, the two often butt heads over wisdom whenever he comes and sees him.
They are nothing short of very bad RPW's who highly dislike each other. If Cain had the chance to take Aururo out, he would, but instead he's stuck with an arrogant loud mouth who just doesn't shut up.
Which doesn't work well for Cain, but at least Cain has patience... or at the very least, doesn't run into Aururo too much.

"hello. They would say quietly, beady eyes glaring into the soul. You are clearly different, yes, and you know you are different. The way the snow touches your covered boots almost mocks, though there is nothing wrong with your toes, no, as you are like everyone else. But you are not. You are different.
special. you are special. They tell you, but you do not understand, but you do at the same time. we are not able to comprehend your apparent memory loss, They add, with devious smiles downward at you. They seem friendly. Or at the least, you hope they seem friendly. you are sixteen. They say, you are sixteen and you are not entirely like us, you are only half like us. two halves of a whole, but you miss a half. You're not sure if they say it with remorse: is remorse such a thing? Empathy? Yes, you decide, it is, and you decide you will have emotion, you will not be like them.
Not always, anyway, you decide.
You stumble out in clothes you don't remember putting on. You don't remember much, in fact, except for how to seemingly breathe and walk and inhale the terrible air. You don't even remember your name, but this doesn't seem to matter now. As the city lights shine around you, you do not see the people who were once glaring at you with scary, beady eyes, no: they have seem to left you, or rather you left them and they let you go. But you do not seem normal, no, you do not: you seem to be very hungry and thirsty, and with some sort of instinct you have walked into a sushi bar, and have a wallet in your hand. Somehow, despite the tranquil snow outside, you do not feel at ease. You do not see Tokyo in the way you saw it before, though you don't even seem to remember how Tokyo was before. Was this even Tokyo? You're not sure as you take your food, pay, and sit down. But as you look at this food, if it is even okay to call such a thing food, your stomach is queasy. You feel the stares of everyone watching you, as somehow you have managed to gather the looks of everyone's attention.

When you see the beady eyed fellows again, you're not alone. You have another ghoul with you- for you know what ghouls are, now, but the moment is slow, and quick, and you pass quietly in the street. You know what they have done, their words repeating we have completed the task.
You breathe in very slowly, exhaling right after in a long, drawn out sigh. You're tired. You constantly are. You don't like this, what you do. Or at least, when you're not in ghoul form you don't like it, mainly because there's one thing you're unsure of, and that's the idea of eating others. You can control the drip, drip, drip coming out of the corner of your mouth, but you cannot control the fact that sometimes, you're hungry. You get the occasional tease that perhaps you need a Snickers, as you aren't the same when you're hungry, but you dismiss it. They do not know what trials you go through. They never will.
Your friend is a guy named Casimir. He's a teen, too, and Casimir always has a fellow named Silos following. They're not best friends, at least not to you, but you're not sure what you'd do without them. Some days, they help with hunger cravings with offers of their paint, but it doesn't kill the desire. You're rather numb by the end of your route, but the city around you seems lively as ever. Bright lights circling around, in hues of orange that seems to match your hair, as well as the different colors of purple, blue, red, and the like, all in magnificence. Its something you never thought you might see again.
In the past few months, you've accomplished a lot. Pat yourself on the back, as you've discovered your name is Cain. You used to be normal before the CCG had taken a hold of you, in the form of a blonde older man who happened to make you what you are now. They had given up all hope, except for a last stand, that perhaps a secret ghoul that might help them. Well, they were wrong. But, regardless. That would be half ghoul, since that's what you are now. You're different, you're a half ghoul, nothing will change that.
You're sixteen, as they originally said, and by some miracle you age just like anyone else would. Despite from being a bit more closed off, you're still who you were before. The social guy who knows everyone, and who everyone likes, but is still without many true friends.
You've learned many things. After the encounter with sushi, you found out you cannot eat anything but water, coffee, paint, and well, other wolves.
Its not pleasant, not like you truly can recall. Its because you have tons of self control, really: you used to be normal, but now you're not. You claim to work as a part time pizza delivery man, though that isn't true. You actually work as a part time cafe worker. There is no pizza deliveries in Tokyo, as far as you're concerned. You're not even sure if pizza is a concept in Japan. Its because your real profession is a hitman, aside from the coffee busines. Quite easy, actually, considering that's how you make a living. And how you stay alive, as well: and you feel some justice from it. You mask the bad feelings, by telling yourself its doing good, and by ridding the world of bad people.
Perhaps you're right.
But part of you said perhaps its wrong, too.

Kᴀɢᴜɴᴇ/Gʜᴏᴜʟ FᴏʀᴍA Koukaku kagune (Japanese 甲赫, romanization kōkaku, English approximately shining shell) is metallic and released below the shoulder blade. This is achieved by a high density of Rc cells. It is heavy and extremely robust. Of all the kagunes, they have the greatest sturdiness and are especially suited for defense. Normally, they are generally shaped into armors or shields. But on the offense, they can be shaped like melee weapons such as drills, hammers or blades.
Due to its high weight, a koukaku's speed is inferior to all other kagunes and the kagune is hard to wield.
A koukaku can fend off an ukaku onslaught using its guarding capabilities. However, a rinkaku kagune can deliver severe strikes against the slow koukaku, breaking their kagune and breaching their defenses.

---
The explaination to the drawing is that its very similar to Shuu Tsukiyama's kagune, except his cells are grey {shown running down the kagune} and it is a red color. When often used, its taken form of a shield, used to bash, but otherwise would be used as a large, broad sword. However, it seems his kagune is different, as it seems to be very light, lighter than normal koukaku kagune's. It does, however, still follow the canon rules, it just happens to be difficult to knock him down defenseless. He also happens to have Kakuja Kagune, but its highly incomplete, making him unstable during this phase.
ʜᴀɪʀ ᴅᴇsɪɢɴHis hair is the blue part, colored differently so you could see better. Its constantly pushed back so its pushed towards his ears, and the hair is black, with small highlights of the color orange.
This is specifically done because in Japanese culture, the colors most commonly express common aspects of the character. For example, black would represent power, evil, emptiness, sadness, mystery, sophistication, completeness, and death. The orange highlights would represent energy, balance, enthusiasm, warmth, and seeking attention.
Mᴀʀᴋɪɴɢ/Pᴀɪɴᴛ/Eʏᴇ ᴄᴏʟᴏʀCain would be a one eyed ghoul; his left eye is marked with a red, and this is only dominant whenever he's knocked into a frenzy or into ghoul form.
Normally, they retain a silver, tinted with blue in both eyes.
The same color that currently they already have, which would be the red in their eyes, would be the color of their paint and the color their markings would change into once in ghoul form. Their other eye, however, would stay with a white schlera and the silver mixed with blue, as they are a one eyed ghoul, similar to Kaneki. The eye would only change into the red with black backdrop when he was put into ghoul form.
When not in ghoul form, it retains a silvery color, which is tainted with hints of ice blue at points.

now this is where our story gets a little bit crazy, you see.
there are two sides to this story, and here is the second part: the part of a monster.
Eᴠᴇʀʏ Gʜᴏᴜʟ Nᴇᴇᴅs ᴀ Gᴏᴏᴅ Mᴀsᴋ
Cain is marked in the 20th ward, and follows the guidelines for the general mask ghouls wear so the CCG doesn't happen to find them. Because he is very unique and might be recognized by his one eye, he's forced to wear a mask that currently covers his whole face.
His mask is based off of an old Bubonic Plague Era styled Plague Doctors Mask; filled with a large beak. It works on any sort of form, both ghoul and normal, and is styled so he can wear it in quad, anthro, human, or the like. When in quad, it straps down to just go past his nose, as likewise in anthro, and in human extends past the nose like the regular Plague Doctor's would. It straps behind the head and underneath the chin or jaw area.

Hair Color:
Black with orange highlights or accents.
Habits:
Tilts his head in odd directions.
Health:
Impeccable health. Nothing wrong at all.
Favorite Sayings:
""There is no reason we have to be protected by you. You pretend you care about other people but in the end, it’s all about you. You’re just afraid of being alone, aren’t you? What you want is nothing more than self-satisfaction. It’s all so stupid. ""
Style:
Frenzied.
Greatest flaw:
Blindness to anything but self indulgence.
Best quality:
Strength.

personality ⇝ Cain changes completely when in his ghoul form. While its all situation how he acts, it can be somewhat divided into how much control he's in. I'll simply name the two for easier understanding as half control and none at all.
At half control, Cain is a bit quicker, but still sluggish compared to half control. He often uses his blade as a defense, wrapping it around his arm for support. If not this, then similar to Ryouko's, in lunar flower petals that flow out in for different sides. This is mainly used for defense, only used with offense in no control, as a blade curls out from the bottom left petal to spiral around his arm, giving him the ability to multitask in battle. This drains him of energy after, leaving him unable to use it for a few days if used in a combination of defense and offense, which again is only used in the dire no control circumstance.
He's in a demonic fashion, incredibly quick, senseless, conceited, and can be termed as a narcissist. There's almost no reasoning with him, as by that point he's long gone and not logical or reasonable at all. Its termed as a lost cause, and only few people can pull him out once he's in. He's merciless, which is good since he's rarely in a state of no control. Cain somehow can manipulate his kagune to become both an offensive and defensive; he can't control his kagune, because in this state it normally gives an armoring for his body while adding defensive and offensive. ⚡

Final RemarksThis is the end of the form for Cain. You may skip over the remaining part of this if you wish, but I'd prefer if you didn't: I'm going to be explaining fully why I would love him, how I already do connect with him, and any clarifications from the form. Of course, you're always welcome to re-read it over again once you've read this.
So I'm going to clarify first some parts of the form.
Cain is based off of Hideyoshi, Kaneki Ken, Shuu Tsukiyama, and parts of myself. While this marks true, everything Cain is situational wise, so this would be all counting basic scenarios and the like.
Now while making this form I was currently struggling with some issues, like stressing over the PARCC, a funeral, a best friend temporarily leaving me for a long trip {which left me struggling on my own} and generalities like school, social anxiety, and similar things.
Now, another thing, in some of the art it says the name 'Giovanni' or 'Giovanni Howl.' This IS art for this RPW, so let me explain quickly.
Well, on February 27th, I received a PM that the name Giovanni was already taken,
by this RPW here! So at precisely 6:09 EST PM, I had to go through my whole form, and switch out every 'Giovanni' for the name 'Cain' instead. However, I'm unable to re-upload everything as I currently don't have the files.
I will hope you don't penalize me for this, as I wasn't aware, and I had been checking the old archives {that didn't have the new lines} so the name hadn't came up. I can provide a few different people who have helped me with my form to rest assured you that this art is made by me, for this contest and this contest only.
The part after the divider where it says 'there's two parts to a story' is describing his ghoul form personality. c":
That should be it, so now I'll just go on and say why I'd really like Cain.
I've been in the RPW community for a while now, and I'm a lover of monochrome schemes and monochrome schemes with accents {mostly red, or blue} so when I saw this love, he immediately caught my attention. Even better when he was based off of Tokyo Ghoul- I LOVE themed characters. {Just go look at the custom that was gifted to me, he's based off of Blue Exorcist.} Its like a continuation of something I love, and as a writer, its like writing my own ending that never actually ends.
