CHARACTER STUDY: CAESAR (updated 11/26/18)
Full Name: Caesar Cipher
Age: Over 1 trillion years spiritually, though takes on the physical age of whatever body he possesses. Currently, he is in a 6-year old F1 Savannah body. He is mentally 4 years old.
Death: Caesar is immortal and cannot die. Though his former domestic cat body had been killed by a feral raptor named Delta on June 2, 2018. His last word was yelling at Argus for help. Another domestic cat body was killed on August 5, 2018, from Carolina of The Ascendants snapping his neck.
Background: Caesar was born in the Seventh Tier of Dimension FiveX, along with his brother, Vigenere, and sister, Atbash. He had a very normal life - or about as much as you could in the Seventh Tier. He was loved by his parents and was very well taken care of, although his family was starving. For the most part, Caesar was happy living in the Seventh Tier until Vigenere had been Chosen for the King's Guard, and he slowly got jealous over his brother's opportunity. He soon got himself into trouble by sneaking around and was eventually caught trying to listen into a meeting between the King and his Court. The Shaman had apparently had vision of him destroying the Dimension and shared her vision with the King, causing rumors to spread through the Dimension quickly. Caesar started to become shunned by the rest of the members of the Seventh Tier, so he sought out the Shaman in an attempt to hunt down and kill her for the rumors she spread. His attempt failed, and he ended up being brought in front the King, which eventually ended up with Vigenere being dismissed from the Guard and the Cipher System (family) being Exiled.
Caesar eventually worked with his littermates and the other Outcasts over murdering the King and setting their Dimension to flames. His motive was out of pure revenge and rage, in addition to craving the fame and reputation it would cause. He succeeded in his plans this time, murdering the King and eventually setting the Dimension on fire. The Dimension started to rot from the inside out, and Caesar escaped just in time with his siblings, leaving their parents to burn alive with the Dimension. By this time, his two siblings had pulled out of the plan and were against Caesar, and he tried to get them back on his side after he rescued them, however they declined his offer. Caesar left them, heading for Earth, vowing that he'd get back at them for betraying him eventually.
On May 3, 2018, Caesar joined The Typhoon, having heard rumors of the pirates living in the area. Soon after his joining, Caesar experienced the Entrance Ritual on May 7, 2018, which is a customary tradition of The Typhoon, although it wasn't mandatory. Eventually, Caesar was promoted to Striker on May 27, 2018, and then promoted to Privateer on June 3, 2018, and was eventually promoted to Officer on June 18, 2018. He eventually learned that Atbash was on the same Earth as him on an unknown date, and learned that she lived in Snowbound. Despite The Typhoon being allies with Snowbound, Caesar attacked her on June 19, 2018. A day after, Jacob, the leader of Snowbound, visited The Typhoon and confronted Caesar on June 20, 2018. Pincher, the leader of The Typhoon, soon decided that Caesar would be temporarily demoted until he made up for what he had done. On June 22, 2018, Caesar learned that his brother was also on the same Earth, living in Tanglewood. On the same date, albeit a couple hours later, a pack of feral raptors appeared in The Typhoon's territory and Caesar attempted to chase them out, though he was quickly killed by Delta, causing him to be forced into a seagull body. On July 1, 2018, he got fire elementals back and Roxanne gave him a blade, and he possessed a new feline body on the same day, a couple hours prior to the gift Roxanne gave him.
On July 16, 2018, Caesar passed out on the beach and found a sickle by his paws when he woke up. On the same date, although a couple hours later, Caesar captured Pele of The Ascendants and started to torture her, his first capture and torture since coming to Earth and joining The Typhoon. On July 23, 2018, Caesar attacked Atbash for the second time, although this time it was a Weekly Task rather than his own doing. On July 24, 2018, he captured Thea of The Ascendants, his second capture.
On July 24, 2018, he got two injuries from Delta/Dimitri, prior to capturing Thea. His left hind leg was broken here and he gained scratch wounds on his side here. On July 29, 2018, Caesar received a small wound on his chest from Carolina. On July 30, 2018, Caesar got a black crown from Goldenluxury; he keeps it in his room.
On August 1, 2018, Caesar was captured for the first time, by Carolina of The Ascendants. On August 5, 2018, he was killed by her due to not answering questions. Since his feline body was killed, he got stuck in a mongoose body on August 7, 2018, however soon returned to his normal feline body on August 8, 2018. On the same day, albeit a couple hours later, Caesar begun to feel fear and was unable to hide from his Crewmates.
On September 16, 2018, Caesar gave Edvwdug (Edgar) to Beck. On September 17, 2018, he visited The Rosebloods for the first time as an Ambassador from The Typhoon. Later that day, after returning to The Typhoon, Caesar found out that his Electric Elementals returned.
On October 12, 2018, he was visited by two spirits pretending to be Vigenere and Atbash. On October 29, 2018, he has a nightmare he is unable to control.
On November 3, 2018, Caesar set fire to Snowbound, thus forcing the tribe to flee and disband. On November 7, 2018, he was promoted to Head Officer. During that same meeting, Caesar spoke out against Bakugou's promotion, soon challenging Bakugou to a fight. However, upon Pincher's response, Caesar snapped and attempted to attack the Captain.
On November 12, 2018, he attempted to attack Stella. On November 13, 2018, he was exiled from The Typhoon. The same day, he went off and joined The Pitt.
This will be updated as events happen.
Home: The Seventh Tier in Dimension FiveX was the lowest Tier you could be in, outside of being an Outcast. His System (family) was very poor and his father worked as a farmer, while his mother took care of him and his siblings, being a stay-at-home mom. There are seven Tiers in total, with the First Tier being the highest - which consisted of the King, Queen, their children, and the Shaman. The Second Tier was the King's Guard, which is basically the military for the King. They protect the Kingdom as well as ensuring the King was safe. The rest of the Tiers were pretty much Commoners, although as the Tiers get higher, the poorer members in that Tier are. Their Dimension was at war at the time, although Caesar didn't too much about it since Vigenere refused to talk about it.
Caesar currently lives in The Typhoon, and they live on an island known as Paradise Island. The island holds a tropical rainforest jungle as well as an active volcano. There are many other islands in The Typhoon's territory, and you can see each one detailed here.
Weather: Caesar's favorite type of weather is sunny and he enjoys the summer. He likes the heat of the sun on his pelt, while he hates the winter and snow. He doesn't like being cold, despite his personality, and hates the feeling of snow clinging to his fur and melting.
Physical: Currently, Caesar is stuck in a mongoose body. It is short and stocky with gold fur, and faint black stripes on its back. He still has his signature black eyes, of course, as well as scars from his previous body. These scars include: a scar on his tail from where Delta had bit off it in a previous body, a canine bite-wound on his left leg, and another bite-wound on his side. He also has a bite wound scar on right hind leg and a scratch wound scar on his side.
Caesar also has a tall and lithe golden F1 Savannah body with black spots and eyes. He also has black paws and ears, as well as thin, black lines on his forearms. His tail has thicker black stripes in addition to having a black tip. He has a bite-wound scar on his side and right hind leg, in addition to a canine bite-wound on his left leg, and a scar on his tail from where his previous body had it bitten off. Due to him not taking care of himself properly at times, this body is horribly starved and deprived of sleep, though he has learned to drink more to prevent dehydration. He wears a black knife sheath on his left arm, which holds the blade Roxanne gave him. Finally, he has side scars from where Delta of Snowbound attacked him.
Weapons: Caesar typically doesn't use any weapons, although whenever he gets Conjuration, he will prefer a knife to use. He trained himself in using knives, and it wasn't exactly a family tradition, just an idea he got from Vigenere being in the King's Guard. Caesar prefers using his powers (although they are practically non-existent right now) and long-ranged attacks, as he isn't a very good fighter. He usually tires out very easily, due to his body not being taken care of properly. Caesar isn't the type of person to risk his life for, and if he did risk his life, it'd be for himself. He doesn't care of anybody else about himself, and therefore doesn't risk his life for others. However, there are times Caesar will coward out of a battle, especially if his brother is in it.
He currently has a blade which was given to him by Roxanne that he uses in battle and keeps on him with a sheath. He also has a sickle that he carries with him for tortures and battle.
Reactions: Below are ways Caesar acts a certain way whenever he feels a certain emotion. His emotions change quickly, mostly due to him believing he is above everybody else and thinks that people should obey his every word.
Anger - Caesar is prone to anger outbreaks, especially when he doesn't get his way. When angered, Caesar lights himself on fire and the fire acts as a way for him to get rid of the emotion.
Scared - Caesar typically isn't scared of anybody or anything, though he knows that some people are stronger than him and he can fear them in that sense. If that's the case, Caesar typically gets tense and tries to avoid eye contact.
Stressed - Caesar, like all dream demons, bleed when stressed. They bleed from their nose first, then their mouth, and finally their eyes if the stress gets too much. Too much stress can cause dream demons to Corrupt, to which their body is constantly in stress, therefore is constantly bleeding from the eyes.
Rejected - Caesar doesn't really care much for rejection since he doesn't form a lot of romantic/platonic relationships. However, if he is denied a chance to become some sort of position in power, then he usually has some sort of outburst. Usually he would light himself on fire, but again, without that ability, he usually ends up tearing his room apart.
Happy - Caesar doesn't really know how to express happiness, but if he is proud of himself or his actions, he usually straightens up and grins.
Hurt/Sad - This is another emotion Caesar doesn't know how to truly express, but a way you can tell he's not entirely happy with something is by the way he just stared and seems to be in thought.
Confused - Caesar's tail usually flicks or twitches whenever he's confused, and he often appears to be in thought.
Motives: Caesar's current motive is to become Captain of The Typhoon. He has always been ambitious, and has always wanted to be in a position of power, although it is mostly for his own gain and pleasure. He doesn't truly care about the members of The Typhoon and only wants to be Captain so they will listen to his word. He always had been a little attention-seeking as a child, though after he got exiled, that turned into revenge, and ever since then, Caesar has just always craved being in control over others. Caesar will go far to achieve this dream, as proven that he killed the King just to become King, only do destroy his Home Dimension because he felt everybody was to "impure" for him to lead.
Failure and Success: Caesar believes his biggest success was destroying his Home Dimension. He loved the thrill of the rush it caused, and he loved the screams of pain the flames caused to echo throughout the Dimension. He takes this with pride, although that pride is a mask to hide how he truly feels about the situation: which is regret. He actually hates what he had done and wishes he had gone about it in another way, but decided that lying to himself is the best course of action.
His biggest failure as of right now, to him, is where he failed to hide his scent when he went to attack Atbash. Because Jacob figured out who it was, he was immediately caught by both Jacob and Pincher, the latter whom temporarily demoted him for his actions. Caesar doesn't cope with failures well and usually just ends up pouting for a long time.
Caesar is indeed affected by his past actions, as his 'success' in destroying his home Dimension haunts him to this day, and the effect of his failure is him not having a position of power in The Typhoon until he comes up with an event for Snowbound. He usually doesn't care about others' opinions, so their failures and successes don't mean much to him unless they are relation to positions of power. If they are of a higher rank than him, Caesar gets jealous.
Mood: Caesar is typically very stoic in his emotions, although he is extremely quick to anger and feeling irritated. When he's alone, he's usually wallowing in his regrets and sometimes it gets to the point where he's so stress about it, that he starts the stereotypical dream demon bleeding associated with stress. However, when he's out and about in The Typhoon, he tries to keep a stoic expression as much as possible. With enemies, he likes to taunt and tease them despite that stoic attitude he wants to keep. He is extremely quick to reaction to situations, though that reaction is usually just him getting pissed off and leaving the scene. He isn't very easy to calm down despite what it may seem without his powers, but once he gets fire elementals back, he should be able to calm down easily. Caesar doesn't really get embarrassed often, but his emotions are usually tied with how others react to him and his relationship with them.
Opinion: Caesar has a very strict opinion on love, and that's that he hates it. He's never really truly loved anyone, and any litters he's had are from one-night stands. He eventually killed the mother when their children were weaned, so that they couldn't have any choice to be with him unless they ran off.
Caesar likes war and is constantly trying to start something with enemies. He likes being an annoyance and he knows that being in enemy territory will eventually annoy them to the point where they start attacking. Same thing with capturing and torturing members of the other groups; he knows it will start something and he loves it.
Caesar also likes powers, especially his own. He relies on his powers to fight, although this is a bit hard to do with his powers being stripped from him. He is a long-range fighters and prefers fighting with his powers over physical strength. Monarchy, however, is a tough thing to describe. Caesar likes the idea of a person ruling, though he wants to be that person. He hates anybody else in charge and although he will pretend to like and respect them, that facade will quickly go away as time goes on.
Religion on the other hand, is quite easy to describe. Caesar despises religion and thinks those that believe in a religion are idiotic and blind to things and are gullible.
Religion: Caesar is an atheist, he doesn't believe in anything. However, the group he joined, The Typhoon, is religious. The Typhoon currently believes in a religion based off Haitian Vodou, and it focuses on a spirit (or "Loa") named Agwe. Agwe rules over the sea and is seen as a mediator between The Supreme Creator (or "Bondye") and those who believe in the religion. He doesn't believe in this at all, nor really respect its traditions due to not caring. His morals are skewed to say the least, he thinks he is morally grey, however most of his actions are irredeemable. He's a bad person and he's proud of it. Caesar certainly isn't virtuous, and he expresses many types of vices: pride, wrath, envy, and greed. He is prideful in the sense of believing he is better than anybody else and expects everyone to bow down to him (he goes as far as to call himself the "God of Chaos" at times). Wrath comes into play just because of how quickly it is to anger him and due to most of his actions being caused by said anger. And finally, greed comes into play due to how he always wants power over people, even when he already has some sort of position somewhere. Caesar can also be envious, especially when it comes to his brother Vigenere, as he is jealous over how popular and revered Vigenere had become when he was in the King's Guard.
Magic/Powers: Caesar does indeed have powers, although most (if not all) of them were stripped when he came to this Dimension. Before he came here, he had the ability to destroy Dimensions as well as travel between them. This is a common power for most demons in Dimension FiveX, as well as any sort of power that manipulates the mind, such as telepathy, telekinesis, the ability to manipulate dreams and memories. Dream demons also have the ability to shapeshift and/or possess multiple bodies, and some control elementals. Caesar had the ability to control fire and lightning. Caesar also had the ability to warp reality, although this and other Dimension-related powers are NOT being transferred over to Earth. However, since traveling to Earth, Caesar had been stripped of his powers and due to him having a mortal body, his energy to use any powers he gains back will be used up. He needs energy to use powers and using too much will cause him to wear out.
As of right now, Caesar only has the ability to possess other bodies, reincarnation, fire elementals, electric elementals, and mental manipulation/communication.
Perception: Caesar's view on the world is very negative. He sees it as something he should be able to change and control, and that nobody deserves anything and that he deserves everything, and he sees the glass as half-empty. Caesar is very cynical, and practically everything he does is in his self-interest.
First Impressions: Caesar is extremely hostile and distrusting and is pretty much an ass to everybody he meets. He rarely actually likes somebody and usually only tolerates them because he has to. He likes to keep to himself, though this is mostly at night so people can't see him stress out and bleed due to remorse. Most people see him as closed-off and as mentioned before, an ass; most people don't like him, though within good reason. He doesn't like people and will often be snippy and dismissive when he first meets somebody.
