Blood Type: O-

Fav. Food: Fast 'junk' food. Finding the cheapest possible combo meal is a mission they are always willing to take on.

Hated Food: Celery

School/Occupation: Mechanic

Hobbies:

Dumpster Diving: There is a lot of perfectly good stuff that gets thrown away! Casper loves the thrill of the giant blind boxes that are dumpsters! Although they come from a very affluent family, and doesn't really have a need to dig through dumpsters, it tickles a very primal hunter-gatherer part of their brain and brings them happiness. Cas will often redistribute their findings to the needy after making sure it's still in safe condition to consume or use. Then there is also the 'Big Dumpster,' aka the junk yards, the pick n pulls, the salvage yards - Cas often digs around in those for parts for their mechanic work, or just to 'treasure hunt.'


Virtues:

One Man's Trash - A Visionary: Casper has a keen eye for visualizing people and things for what they could be, their hidden potential, seeing the diamond in the rough, so to speak. Part of it comes from their creativity, and another part from their very positive spirit. Cas is reluctant to throw away anything they believe can still be used or repurposed, or give up on anyone they've come to know personally. They'll use all their creativity to come up with some way to turn things around. Now, sometimes these ideas end up just being grandiose, and unrealistic, but usually there is something there in that idea that might spark a better, more do-able, idea. Maybe at least a starting point. If nothing else, they at least hope it psyches people up to tackle the issue or problem at hand.

Got That Street Savoir Faire - Charming: Casper has a goofy kind of dexterity and grace in dealing with new and trying situations where they usually find some way to make the situation go in their favor, or manage navigate it in a way where things don't devolve into a total s**t-show. Part of this comes from their easy-going attitude that makes them hard to rattle, a heaping dash of charm, along with their affluent up-bringing. They are used to being around 'high society' and learned from birth how to play the part - and people. In short, they aced the charisma roll, but did less than stellar on their intelligence roll; luckily, wisdom comes in to save the day!


Flaws:

Don't You Dare Touch my Trash! - Hoarder - Casper has...attachment issues. To things. They didn't have the most present parents, but their parents did give presents. A sentimental bond then developed with these things, and getting rid of them became nearly impossible for Cas. Their collection of things has become excessive as they grew up. The stories and characters they idolize and fandoms they attach themselves to often will quickly result in massive collections, regardless if Cas has the space - they will find a way to make space. At best, Cas does at least allow their things to be put in storage, but throwing things away that isn't clearly trash is excruciatingly hard. Like, near panic-attack inducing hard. You don't want that. It is not pretty. Cas will lash out, sometimes violently, but mostly loudly and say hurtful things that they don't really mean, but that hurt none-the-less. Well-meaning friends can turn in to never-gonna-be-friends-again, and both parties are left hurt, so while Cas might have their stuff, friends don't tend to stick around.

Nothing Left Finished - Flakey - Cas has their hands in a lot of pies, and lacks the attention span to finish one thing before starting another. Usually they start out a project with a lot of enthusiasm and gusto, but once something new and shiny crosses their path, that energy is gone and they want to get started on the new neat thing! Because of this Cas is left with a lot of half-finished projects, or several that they are in the middle of, and become overwhelmed with, resulting in them all getting shoved 'out of sight, out of mind' until maybe, maybe they pick them up again. This really sucks when they promise to do something for or with someone, but don't pull through.
