Much of Cassidy's life before the last ten years has been shrouded in secrecy, though perhaps this isn't because of any true attempts to keep it as such but because of the fact that her exploits now tend to overshadow whatever came before. Irreverent, reckless, passionate, hedonistic and guaranteed to almost always press the red button or pick the "fun option" in every situation, accounts of her and what she does are varied at best: a charming con, a bold adventurer, an able thief, an experienced swordswoman, an excellent gunslinger...even a trained opera singer, she has traveled through many places and immersed herself in many cultures. She is just as adept at beguiling whole saloons with her musical talents as she is convincing someone that the sky is green, despite all evidence pointing to the contrary; she has prevailed in several high-profile duels, and has even burned down a convent in pursuit of a lusty affair. There doesn't seem to be any overarching goal in her life save to be as ludicrously entertaining as possible, and rack up as many crazy shenanigans as she can for no other end but to fill her life with color, because all other alternatives, to her, are drab and uninteresting. It is also extremely possible that she is running from or chasing something, but really, given the many, many distractions she provides, would anyone really care to look?

Background

At the moment, those who look into her would discover that she didn't exist beyond a decade ago - indicative enough that she's most definitely hiding something, a common enough circumstance with most of Filgaia's denizens that nobody will care.

This is precisely what she is counting on.

Powers and Abilities

Ten years of adventuring has made Cassidy Cain a situational chameleon out of necessity; she survives mostly because her ability to adapt to her present circumstances is downright genius and those who know her best (rare as that is) would claim that this is actually her foremost expertise. She is also rumored to be extremely lucky, given how many times she's managed to live through or prevail in impossible odds despite her seeming lack of bankable survival instincts. As stated by many of those who have tried to shuffle her out of the mortal coil in the last decade, the bitch just can't seem to die.

Save for her prodigious adaptability and being some kind of walking Fortune Elemental, she does know how to do a few things:

  • Swordsmanship - Nobody knows where she was trained, but the woman's skills with a blade speaks of a lifetime's worth of formal study and practice. This is typically the privilege of the military, or the wealthy, or both...and Cassidy Cain is, as far as people know, neither.
  • Gunslinging - She is just as adept with the gun as she is with a sword; she can use many kinds, and she can wield both barrel and blade at the same time, if circumstances make it necessary.
  • Polyglot - She is fluent in many languages in Ignas, though whether this was a skill acquired through academics or pure immersion is unknown.
  • Ambidextrous - She can use both right and left hands with equal dexterity.
  • Performing Arts - She has spent several years with a traveling circus and troubadour troupe and that has expanded her particular list of skills to include singing, playing musical instruments, acrobatics and acting. She is a surprisingly accomplished stage singer and actress.
  • Master of Disguise - It comes hand in hand with her background as a performer, including certain skills in cosmetics and the use of prosthetics. She has adopted many personas over the years.
  • Master of the Confidence Game - The Pigeon Drop, Follow the Lady, and more. Cassidy is a walking encyclopedia in the art of the swindle. There are thieves, and there are master thieves and it's rare to find someone who knows more about the game than she does...so much so that she's known as "Long Con Cassidy" in some circles.
  • Good Ol' Fashioned Thievery - She's spent a few years safecracking, pick-pocketing, lock-picking and breaking and entering, though these days, she would rather convince someone to hand over his money than take it by force or subterfuge. Her preferences have not dulled her edge, however - her sleight-of-hand is flawless.
  • 12 Percent of a Plan - It's all she needs. There are several instances in Cassidy's life in which she has proven herself to be a formidable strategist and tactician, though God only knows where she learned those particular skills. Maybe from that life she never talks about beyond ten years ago.
  • Fortune Favors the Bold - And Cassidy's got some brass ones. Because she dares, she's amassed a significant fortune in her years as a con artist and adventurer. While she's not wealthy, she's certainly got enough capital to live comfortably in between con jobs and heists, and these days, she can afford to be picky about the jobs she undertakes.
  • Network of Contacts - Give a charming, shameless social creature like Cassidy ten years and this is what happens, a mental black book of people from all walks of life across the continent who owe her in some manner or another, and there are occasions in which she does collect.

An encounter in the local parish of the Nisan Orthodoxy and then later in Gentleman's Alley in Adlehyde somehow turned into a partnership between herself and this 'respectable' journalist in what could possibly be the most foolhardy arrangement she's made in months. Strangers one moment, traveling companions the next, mistakes were definitely made here, but where worries should exist, considering she knows almost nothing about him, Cassidy either ignores or hides. Life on the road can be lonely, after all, and if nothing else, it could be fun.
Morganicon.jpg Morgan Newkirk Adventurers Guild Contact It's inevitable that after ten years of adventuring that Cassidy would run into some of the same faces over and over again. Morgan is one such visage; her occasional role as an independent contractor to a few of the guilds in Filgaia means that she and this part-Beastman have worked several jobs together on different occasions, and were in fact rivals for some of them - a fact that has not, thankfully, gotten in the way of their usual camaraderie. Lighthearted, reckless and with a sense of humor to match, it's not surprising that she gets along with this aspiring Guildmaster. That doesn't stop her from messing with him, though. In fact she only interprets this as a carte blanche to mess with him as much as possible.

 * Main Theme: My Way - Dorothy Squires (originally by Frank Sinatra)

Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
"Oh no, oh no not me,
I did it my way".

Dedications

What should I do, I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out, and maybe
I just hate to be all alone
Outside the door he followed me home
Now goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'till I say
Goodnight moon

So just how far down do you wanna go
We could talk it out over a cup of Joe
And you can look deep in my eyes
Like I was a super-model
Uh huh...
...We'll put the sugar in the tank of the sheriff's car
We'll slash the deputy's tires
They won't get very far
When they finally get the word that there's been a hold-up
Uh huh
Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people
So meet me at the mission at midnight
We'll divvy up there
Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people
But I got the pistol
So I get the pesos
Yeah that seems fair

Play on when you're losing the game
Play on 'cause you're gonna make mistakes
It's always worth the sacrifice
Even when you think you're wrong
So play on
