Male, he/him

Straight

:)

Caucasian (Irish)

not sure!

198lbs

(90kg)

6'4

(193cm)

Dirty blonde, more of a brown, really. It's going grey, and no amount of dye can catch up with it

Dark blue, nothing eye-catching or special

He tends to leave his hair as-is, sometimes brushing it (but not often)

A scraggy, unkempt beard

Casper has a large, bulbous nose, and very deep bags under his eyes. His face is quite long and rectangular, and he has a pointed chin underneath his beard

Human

Pale, with warm undertones

Casper has a bit of a dad-bod. Though he is quite muscular, he has a beer-belly, and very large thighs

Freckles dispersed across his nose, arms, and shoulders

ISFP

• sarcastic; Casper has quite a dry sense of humour, which can come off as rude, though he has only good intentions




• devoted; once he begins to trust someone, Casper becomes loyal to them until the day he dies. He has trouble siding against his friends, even when they are in the wrong, and sees them all as angels (except Jessica, of course)




• wary; even before he was turned in by Jessica Laughlin, he was a very cautious, sceptical person. Casper finds it hard to trust people, and often feels unsafe and threatened, even in perfectly secure situations

Casper is a naturally paranoid man, made worse due to his traumatic experience with Jessica Laughlin (see history for more details), but he is also an endearing, thoughtful man. He is very intelligent, and has a deep love for his friends. Despite his age, Casper isn't bothered by ideas of masculinity or femininity, and tries his best to be a well-rounded human being, instead of conforming to gender stereotypes

• grinds teeth back and forth at random intervals


• spins pens in-between his fingers whenever they're nearby. does a similar trick with coins, too


• flinches at the slightest sudden movement


• picks at his lips, most often when worried or in deep thought


• not very physically affectionate


• frequently checks behind him. he thinks that nobody else notices this. they do


• swallows very loud (when drinking, when eating, also when nervous, which is a lot of the time)


• 
  always gives street musicians a five-dollar bill

Casper is motivated by what he thinks is good, or the right thing to do. He can't deny the influence that his friends have on him, either, and tends to follow whatever they are doing

Casper is possibly too dedicated to other people, though he has difficulty forming new relationships and can come across as aloof or closed-off. His sarcastic nature often depicts him as rude, even though he is generally quite polite and civil

Casper isn't prejudiced against anyone

Casper is a very good chef, and is efficient at cleaning. He can do a variety of complicated card tricks, and has a great poker face; this is limited to unemotional situations, however, and he never gambles for profit (only for fun)

Cooking, organisation, practicing magic, and badminton are Casper's main hobbies. Working with Douglas Franklin, he tends to be too busy to put any of these into practice

• paranoid personality disorder (diagnosed)


• (stable) angina, from his poor diet and excessive smoking habit

Casper has an excellent memory, and knows Pi up to 34 digits. His hand-to-eye co-ordination is near perfect, and he is great at reading people's expressions

• 
  Adelaide Price; his boss' wife. They didn't spend much time together, one-on-one, however they always got along, and did have a lot of good memories with one another

• 
  Ruth McCann; his murderer, though they didn't really know each other. By chance, a week before she decided to kill him, Casper picked Ruth up whilst she was hitchhiking in New York. During the ride, she realised who he was, and decided that he was high-profile enough to be her final victim. Casper hated her (in the brief moments leading up to his violent death) due to her ridiculing of his temperament and religion

• Jessica Laughlin; his ex-colleague, and former best friend. They worked together as Father and Sister at their local church, where Jessica got the idea to bring in money through arms dealing, acting like it was from donations, as well as stealing money from the legitimate donations. The pair did this successfully for YEARS. Like, thirty-odd years, but the second the police started to investigate, Jessica threw Casper under the bus. Douglas Franklin saw it on the news, and was impressed. He brought him a proper lawyer, who helped him to be found not guilty, before taking him under his wing as a replacement for Michael Warner. Up until his death at the hands of Ruth McCann, Casper loathed her for her cold, abrupt betrayal of him

Devoted Christian, despite being excommunicated from the church

Casper does not involve himself in politics, but he is probably liberal at heart

Ex-priest, now a bodyguard

Mahogany, a sort of brownish-red, like antique furniture

Warm bread and olive spread. It's very comforting to him

His cross necklace, back from his times in the church. Jessica Laughlin brought it for him

A pistol, or something useful and as uncomplicated as possible

A robin, just because he likes them a lot
