GENERAL

★ In-character
☆ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Yes.
☆ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Yes.
☆ RELATIONSHIPS: Maybe. He's still in love with his ex-wife so it would be a hard sell.
☆ PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: As a regular human nearing 2800 years old, his mind is very full, almost always near to brimming over. Intelligent and quick, he simply doesn't have enough brain to hold everything he knows. This mostly concerns memories and attachments; skills tend to fade, sitting in the background, but he hasn't hit capacity. Hidden in his subconscious is an activation phrase to make him unthinkingly obedient to the speaker: "Hellhound, heel." He has no supernatural mental barriers to speak of. His original name is Romulus.
☆ MAGICAL INFORMATION: Completely non-magical. His existence, however, is one of undying life. It doesn't end, so much as it will end eventually by some natural cause. True immortality in the sense that his body rejects all death despite having a notable metaphysical connection to it (this being his connection to Abel, who is an immortal spirit).
☆ MEDICAL INFORMATION: He is left-handed and his organs are in mirror positions compared to usual biology. This is due to being a mirror image twin with Abel. Otherwise, he is in perfect health and any damage done to him reverts itself given time relative to the size of the wound, up to and including death.
☆ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Dogs. Cain has a fairly strong aversion to them and could react poorly to having one appear unexpectedly.

★ Out of character
☆ BACKTAGGING: Yes.
☆ THREADHOPPING: By permission or during a low-tension thread is fine.
☆ FOURTHWALLING: What is the fourth wall for an OC?
☆ DO NOT WANT: I'm laid-back. Go for whatever, and I'll let you know if I have found something I actually do not want.
☆ ANYTHING ELSE? /dads you all forever

DEATHSIGHT
Cain has the handy-dandy ability to see the time in which someone is fated to die written across their neck like a clock. {Tu Shanshu: These clocks to not actually move within the Dreaming, as characters are removed from their own timestream in-game.} They will only show the date of a canon death. Cain cannot see the numbers through physical blocks like collars or turtlenecks; characters who are immortal can either have an innumerable amount of numbers wrapping around their neck or some sort of infinity symbol, etc., to indicate life until the end of their reality. Cain does not tell people about when they will die, nor does he know how it happens. This is merely for reference when threading with other characters for him to judge the situation.

For those who are alive, this is represented in gold numbers counting down to the moment they will die. Depending on canon material or ongoing canons, this can be fudged or headcanon to your liking.
- Anyone who has cheated death and lives past when they should have very definitely died would be a golden string of zeroes. People in Cain's world call these people "runners".
For those who are dead, they will have silver numbers showing the total amount of time they lived in positive numbers. Could also be said that their timer reset to the very start of their life once they've truly come to the end of it. This can be a result of either coming from post-canon death or they were a ghost all along, etc., etc.
For those who are unique cases, such as zombies or strange existences, there are a few options.
- Those who die in canon and are revived can either be considered "life after death" existences, but if this is part of their ability set or destiny to not have died during that time and be saved through whatever ability/circumstances, chances are they'll be treated as anyone else who is alive.
- Death gods or spirits relating to death may have their numbers actually carved into their neck and bloodied, and be either positive or negative depending on how you perceive their existence.

So, please fill out the following form and let me know what Cain would see!
