Appearance
Cain is a strange mixture of rough and haughty. He likes to keep clean, typically avoiding getting much dirt and grime upon his person and yet his lifestyle forces him otherwise. His features a mix of both rugged and aristocratic. He stands 5'11" with a lean build, perfect for speed and agility. He has fair olive skin, though falls on the paler side. Cain's hair is an ash blonde that sits upon his head in waves of shaggy curls, stopping just towards his chin. He isn't overly concerned with grooming it, it's more unkempt style having grown on him. Upon the left side of his face, a small loose braid sits holding what appears to be a dyed feather, colored purple with several bronze beads set within the small barely noticeable braid. The color fits nicely with his eyes. A fine coppery brown, yet the closer to the center you journeyed the browns began to glitter gold. Almost like that of fields of grain, so easy to get lost in. Well, eye... His left eye is covered by a worn cloth, it is clear it sustained some type of injury with the scar running down his brow.
His features are sharp, with the definite signs of a trickster set upon his face. The devious look in his eye, and a permanent smirk. Upon his jaw is a thick stubble, if given time it could definitely become a beard, not that Cain allows it to. He trims it often, hoping for a clean shave that never lasts much to his ire.
His attire is surprisingly eccentric for a man of his line of work. A black tail coat with a royal purple interior and trim, though it's tails have tears within them that offer a more bedraggled appearance. Underneath is a purple turtleneck sweater, paired with a pair of black slacks, and tall leather boots.
He seriously is considering a cape...
Over his right shoulder is a hostler to hold one of his two pistols, the other strapped to his hip on the left side. Both resemble desert eagles, plated in gold with serpentine engravings upon them. He has dubbed them his, Peace Bringers.
The bullets have magic infused in them, specifically fire magic to produce explosions on impact.
Upon his right hip is a hand and a half sword, rather simple in design aside from the pommel which was shaped into the head of a snake. Upon the blade is what resembles a rune display, it's abilities unknown for now.
This weapon is known as Revolt.
Personality:
He dislikes the ideology that Magic Users have a single purpose in life, to police every action the mystics do. To force them to live in hiding, and for what? Why cast themselves to the shadows? It's asinine! He has purpose, something beyond what he believes is essentially bullying his neighbors into submission. They have nothing to fear from mundanes.
They deserve to live free, to make their own destinies. The current system in play oppresses itself.
"We are chaining down our own people! Our own growth as a society stiffled by our own fears...".
With that said, it is clear he doesn't like to stay "Under the radar" per se. Cain is the type of person who seems full of energy. Very flamboyant and showy. It's even in the way he moves, he just can't sit still. Always tapping his fingers on something, alway with a bounce in his step. He doesn't like being seditary, and is easily excitable. He has found sympathy with the Dark Side of the War due to this natural disposition. His energy can be felt in everything he does, being in war and peace.
He comes off as very playful, enjoying banter, no stranger to the standard taunts and jests, and genuinely just enjoying getting people pissed off. A fool.
That's what people often say he is and truth be told, yes he is. He is at times rather vulgar. He lacks any type of serious maturity, ironic given his age... He revels in the absurdity of life, the strange happenings. He looks at death and laughs. He will dance in the fields of blood. Eat a bowl of Häagen-Dazs. Cry watching Monster's Inc. Suffer under crippling debt...
Hopefully not that last one.
But under every bumbling fool is a crouching tiger... Cain is no exception.
He is surprisingly skilled in his magic despite his rather foolish nature, and his feelings about combat are his exact opposite.
Complete and total domination of your opponent.
He views violence as the ultimate expression of freedom. Fighting for something you chose, dying for what you believe. The fairness of the battlefield, where the weakest man could kill the strongest without repercussions. Just primal emotions dancing about with reckless abandon... It's almost artistic to him.
He has taken this war very seriously, it speaks to him. It is a war of Freedom, something he has seeked his whole life. To remove oppressors, these Angels and Merfolk... All is fair on the battlefield, and he intends to share that opinion.
As a whole, you might say he is an anarchist... A man who despises all form of higher power.
You'd be right.
Backstory (optional)
Pft. Naaaaaaah.

Strengths
His skill with the blade is well known, but it is his pistols that make many weary of him.
He has conducted rituals upon himself to enhance his physical capabilities. His senses are on par with that of a theriantropes.
His magic has an area effect upon it, before a battle he can cast a ritual and place it upon those around him.
He is extremely unpredictable to a ridiculous degree.
Weakness
Unless he specifically casts a ritual upon himself, this area effect benefits can become a crutch. It would gift the enemy with whatever benefit the ritual blessed.
His lack of an eye means he suffers from depth perception. Get far enough away, and it will be difficult for him to guess how far you are... Then again, that's when he will start shooting.
His magic while powerful, often is predictable once you pick up certain key words. Most of his more dangerous magics rely on incantations.
People tend to not enjoy his company. Something about annoying... Dangerously irresponsible... Seriously?
Powers (if any)
Blood Magic. Rituals. A rare school of Magic, similar to incantations yet much more drawn out and lengthy. These often require a form of sacrifice, gaining the name Blood Magic due to the common use of blood in these rituals.
Each rite holds one of three properties; to separate, transform, or reintroduce a person or thing into a selected state. These can take time, but a well performed ritual can do many powerful things. For example; transform a therianthrope out of their animal form into their human body for a given period of time.
He is also versed in several other magic arts, with an elemental affinity for fire.

He has no real family, the war took them from him.
