[ The Basics ] xxxName:Cain xxxNickname(s):--- xxxTitle:The Trickster xxxGender:Male xxxGeneration:One xxxDate of Birth:June 28th, 2012 xxxColorist:sesshy552 xxxObtained:Custom
[ The Details ] xxxEye Color:Blue-Gray xxxHair Color:Black xxxHeight:16.4 Hands xxxSexual Orientation:Presumed Heterosexual xxxRace:God of Mischief and Trickery xxxTemperament:Arrogant xxxAlignment:Neutral-Evil xxxBuild:Quarter Horse xxxVoice:Deep and slightly gravely, sometimes sounding like a growl.
xxxHopes: xxx• Being born of the very earth's rage, Cain finds that he is at odds with himself in many cases. One such is his desire for purpose. Despite his fear xxxof not being in control, Cain wishes to know his true place in the world. He knows, however, that this will result in his having burdens and duties to xxxweigh him down, and as such, he does not seek it. xxx• Above all else, Cain wishes to remember his old life, and to find his the friend that he knows he has lost. At the same time, however, his past xxxterrifies him, and creates a very clear sense of hesitation for him. He only wish to know where his friend is, and nothing more. xxx• Selfishly, Cain wishes to regain his sense of happiness and his ability to feel pleasure and enjoy the world around him. Being numb to everything xxxexcept pain, fear, and sorrow, he desperately searches for the slightest twinge of joy, and clings to what he thinks will provide him that, and what xxxhas reliably provided it before. He resorts to mischief and trickery in an attempt to elicit these emotions, and does not understand why they seem xxxto fail.
xxxFears: xxx• One of Cain's biggest fears is to be controlled. He must be in charge of himself at all times, and in charge of the situations he inflicts upon others. xxxFor these reasons, he is extremely unlikely to bond, or even find a mate. xxx• Though he wishes to find his friend, he fears what he does not remember. His past is a haze, mystery cloaked in shadows, and though he will use xxxit to find what he has lost, he does not look further into it. Somewhere, subconsciously, he knows that he is responsible for something terrible, and xxxwishes only to bury that and live his life out within the mortal realm free of worry.

xxxArroganceTo say that Cain is arrogant is truly an understatement. He does not seem to know the meaning of the word 'humility', and where some might filter their pride, Cain knows no such barrier. Boasting is one of his favorite pastimes, and exaggerating the truth seems to come as easily as breathing to this hot-headed Azrein. He does not, however, bumble. His charisma alone often allows him to ride on the coat-tails of whatever story he's fabricated, though some of the more shrewd Azrein need to be... coaxed into his hijinks.
xxxSelfishnessBeing a god, Cain feels that he is entitled to many things that, in reality, he has no claim to. Simply put, sharing is not one of his strong points. He is more likely to blatantly eat the apple you just asked for than take the time to split it and give you one half. It's less that he doesn't care and more that he thinks what's his is his, and no one should ask anything of him, or from him. If they want an apple, they can get their own.
xxxPowerWhile Cain does not have nearly as much power as a higher deity, he does still have a reasonable amount. Regardless of importance, he is still a god, and because of that, he can call upon some amount of Skill. It is through the fires of the earth that Cain taps into his Skill, and through their power that he elicits it. Using it, however, often leaves him tired and groggy, and more than likely in a piss poor mood. Despite this, he uses it quite often, and always for his own personal gain or 'amusement'. If there is ever a case where he does it to help someone, or something, it's probably because he has some use for them in the future, and never out of kindness or empathy. His own chance at feeling joy is worth more than the pain his Skill might put someone through, and given that all it ever does is leave him sleepy, he has no reason to believe that he is hurting anyone.
xxxTurmoilHaving been born of the earth, itself, Cain seems to constantly be at war with his own actions. It is rarely seen, much the way tectonic movements are, but when it hits, the gravity of it is enormous. There almost seems to be a second side to him; one that is dark and chaotic, constantly seizing in rebellion. These fits happen very, very rarely, and can last anywhere from a few seconds to a half an hour before he seems to settle down, and often from exhaustion. Note that this can happen when he is hit with fits of Torment, as well, and can thus be worsened by the level of pain and fear he is feeling at that given moment.
xxxHumorCain is not without his good qualities; he has a love for mischief, and a love of humor. Those who know him will know that his trouble is caused with an intent to laugh, and while he may do it for his own gain, he can sometimes make others laugh, too. However, do not think that, by being close to him, one avoids his teasing. In fact, the closer his friends might be, the more they are likely to be subject to it.
xxxResponsibilityFor all of his misgivings, Cain understands responsibility and the importance of taking responsibility for his actions. He understands the gravity of his powers, and while he may manipulate and influence, he never does so with the intent to harm. Having failed to foresee and calculate the future before, being unable to control any outcome is simply not an option for him. He is always the first to apologize for having pulled a prank when it seems to have serious consequences, and though sometimes this is done grudgingly (and seemingly uncontrollably), it is always done sincerely.

Timeline. || xxxxxx
TBA
Powers ||
xxxSilver-TongueWhile shrewd Azrein are more likely to see through his lies, Cain has an extraordinary ability to twist words and create elaborate illusions with words that seem very much real. So real, in fact, that he can tell another Azrein where they were, and they will likely believe him. He weaves stories and tall tales that seem so fantastic, so magical, so unbelievable that they can't be real, all the while planting small seeds of truth into the Azrein's mind that leads them to believe it in the end. When confronted with Silver-Tongue, an Azrein's intelligence is taken into account; the higher the percentage of intelligence, the less of a chance they will be affected by Cain's tall tales. Note that the effect against other Deities is significantly reduced - it is still, however, possible.
xxxShadow StepShadows are tricky things; they conceal, they deceive and they conquer. As the God of Mischief, Cain has some degree of control over shadows. While it will never be as advanced as the God of Darkness, it is nothing to sneeze at, assuredly. In extreme cases, he has the ability to cloak himself in shadows - to hide himself fully within darkness. He becomes impossible to see, hear, or sense; it as if he was never there. This ability, however, leaves him exhausted beyond words, and once the shadows have left him, he is often vulnerable for upwards of twelve hours afterward while he regains his strength. Due to this, he uses it sparingly and only when he severely needs to escape from a situation - though he has been known to use it for elaborate tricks in the past. This ability can only be used when shadows are present and once every three days, and his recovery time (while estimated), is subject to change based on how long he uses the ability for.
xxxTormentAs a mortal, Cain played tricks on many. He was reckless, and careless, and often did not see how his pranks might hurt others. His first was to hide from his mother for three days, and when he finally came out of hiding, laughing and squealing with joy, he did not understand why she was so very angry with him for having played such a good joke. His actions held no weight, nor did the consequences. It only escalated from there, and years later, he played his final prank; one that resulted in the death of a good friend and plagued him for the rest of his short life. It didn't take long for his actions to come back to him. Reborn, he is unable to attain joy, or pleasure from his jokes. While he may smile, and laugh, these are hallow actions; mirrors of emotions that he no longer has. He is also at the mercy of the flames. He is forced to understand and relive the pain of burning alive, know the fear and the sense of suffocating in heat. It terrifies him, and he seeks to quench the fires by performing tricks to find a single shred of joy - be it his own, or another's.

((Most family members do not exist within HoA, and are unobtainable as customs.))
It is highly unlikely that Cain will ever bond, due to his own cynicism and general dislike of humans. However, given the right circumstances, he might be willing to compromise. (For the sake of his own well being and power, mind you.)
