Eyes: Brown
Personality: Caine, upon first meeting, seems pleasant. He laughs, he smiles, he jokes with the best of them. But beneath that is a cruel streak a mile wide and an indefinable something that commands the attention and respect of those around him. Caine is a man of few words, and those words he says are ones he means. His sense of humor is skewed, although he'll laugh if he thinks it's expected of him. Caine is perceptive, and able to deliver what those around him expect, whether it be laughter, a smile, or a sympathetic expression. What Caine feels and what he shows are rarely the same, though very few would guess it. Caine is proud, although not so proud as to be unable to admit the authority of others. He is drawn to power, and it is one of the few things he respects without fail. Caine's temper is almost non-existent; while he feels anger, it's a rare emotion for him. Fear is an emotion Caine has never felt. Usually his actions are cool and calculated, with every reward and danger balanced in his mind before he acts. Caine is a chameleon, able to blend into and mesh with almost any situation he is placed in. History: Caine was born to a normal family in New Orleans. From the start Caine was an unusual child, withdrawn and almost frighteningly emotionless. His parents took him to a number of psychologists, who diagnosed him with everything from disassociative disorder to schitzophrenia to manic depression, none of which were accepted by his parents. Their refusal was two-fold- they didn't want to admit their child might be defective, and they couldn't believe a child of Caine's intelligence was damaged. And Caine was intelligent, scoring in the ninety-nine and one hundreth percentile on almost every standardized test given to him. Caine advanced quickly through school, and graduated high school at the young age of fifteen. Caine had never been close to his parents, but it was when he graduated that the argument that would split them arose. His parents demanded that he attend college, and Caine had no desire or intention of doing so. The argument came to an abrupt close when his parents died in a house fire a month after Caine's sixteenth birthday. The arson experts determined that the fire was the result of faulty electrical wiring, and Caine received the profits of both his parents' life insurance policies and the home owner's insurance policy. Caine was nearly rich, but that mattered little to him. He was taken into foster care for four months while his parents estate was dispersed and his case handled. After four months Caine was legally emancipated and he bought himself a small but lavish apartment in downtown New Orleans. He began experiencing life, although he treated his interactions a bit like science experiments, with no particular attachment to any experience. During these times Caine further honed his chameleon like adaptive qualities, learning and emulating what he saw. It was a year after his emancipation that Caine came to be in a bar in a rather seedy portion of town. A fight broke out, and Caine remained in the bar even as the participants shifted and began to tear into each other. His lack of fear proved his undoing, as that night he was gored by one of the shifters. Two weeks later he felt a pull within him and was drawn to Vicious Longings and the vampire that called- Jacob. Caine joined the clan, learning the what it meant to be a hyena and an alpha. During this time he was introduced to S&M and bondage, pastimes oddly suited the near-emotionless man. He rose quickly in the clan ranks, and when he tired of the female oba he killed her. This occured when Caine was only twenty four, and Caine has held the dubious honor of Oba ever since. He's also been head of security for Vicious Longings for the last six years, a task he's well suited for with his strategic and cunning mind. Caine has been out of town for the last three weeks, and Rysh has been acting in his stead. Now that he is back, Caine has taken command again. Strengths: Caine is a powerful alpha, and as such has extreme control over his beast. He has the ability to calm, soothe, or raise the beasts of other hyenas, although not to force them to shift. He can share power through sex or blood, and is able to partially shift at will. Additionally, Caine has trained in two forms of martial arts (kendo and ju jit su) since elementary school and is well schooled in each. Caine prefers to fight with words rather than actions, although he doesn't fear the possibility of violence or pain. Caine is skilled in the use of knives, short swords (although this is a skill learned in the last four years, and thus not exceptional by any means), and most handguns. Caine heals very well, although that is more due to his level of power than actually being exceptional. Caine is extremely intelligent and calculating, and he lacks any form of fear. Caine has a keen ear for languages, and has mastered German, Spanish, and French, all of which he was taught from elementary school on. He's fair with Italian (a language he picked up at Vicious Longings), although he's a better listener than he is a speaker. Weaknesses: Caine's lack of fear is both blessing and a weakness. Caine frequently endangers his own safety out of mild curiousity, simply for this lack of fear. Caine has a mild case of disassociative disorder. Caine experiences debilitating migraine headaches on occassion for no apparent reason. These headaches leave him near helpless while he's experiencing them. Caine also experiences all the pitfalls of being a lycanthrope. Quirks: Caine enjoys pain with his sex. When he's in the mood, he likes a good submissive to play with, and sometimes he wants another alpha that refuses to submit. Caine feels sex should be like fighting, violent, passionate, and dangerous. Caine dislikes being a bottom, but given the proper persuasion he can be convinced to do so (although it's not an experience he enjoys).
