Cid Highwind

Cid Highwind was one of the first characters to wake up in The Mall. He's a pilot and engineer, showing up at The Mall fresh from saving the world (again). Through his long stay, he has thoroughly established himself as beacon of support and a source of comedy. whether through running into him building his ship outside or through the many gatherings he happens to host, most have become aware of his existence. Cid is currently living in his garage with his partner Vincent and Vincent's apprentice Nero. Along with Nero, Cid has taken to somewhat looking after a plethora of other younger Mallgoers such as Adrien and Black★Star.
== Profile ==
=== Appearance ===
Cid is a short older man, standing at 5'5" with a wider build. He has short, pushed-back blond hair, an unshaven face, bright blue eyes and an unwavering grin. He normally wears military-esque clothing and his beloved blue jacket. He's hardly ever seen without his goggles.
==== Masquerades ====
At the first masquerade event, Cid appeared as Bad Fashion, wearing the simple outfit of a navy blue suit with red and gold floral patterns along with a red, black, and gold jester-themed mask covering only his eyes.
At the second masquerade, the first Beach Bash, Cid appeared as DAD. He wore a button-up with a pattern of flames, tools, and the American flag with text reading: "DAD Can't Fix STUPID BUT HE CAN FIX WHAT STUPID DOES". It was paired with blue trunks displaying a lobster pattern, sunglasses with the transgender pride flag and slides with the gay flag. 
=== Personality ===
Cid is loud and brash, yelling and swearing as if every casual conversation is a world-ending event. He's blunt and to-the-point, saying things before he thinks. Despite those faults, he's very unapologetic about who he is and how annoying he can be. Hurtful words aside, he's incredibly genuine and good to his heart, reaching a helping hand to just about anyone who falls at his doorstep.
He's also very polite with women, often acting gentlemanly. He even tries to watch his language.
== Combat ==
Cid is a rather skilled fighter, his weapon of choice being spears. (W.I.P.)
== Relationships ==
=== Vincent Valentine ===
Vincent woke up in The Mall a short while after Cid. The two, as each other's only companions from home, stuck together. Being stuck together eventually became... being together. Vincent isn't bothered nor hardly offended by Cid's brash behavior, and the two have an unspoken understanding.
=== Nero the Sable ===
Nero still isn't particularly close to Cid despite moving in a while back. Cid still thinks he's kind of freaky and Nero's still skittish around the overly-friendly man, but they've slowly learned to get... mostly used to one other.
=== Go-Getters Club ===
Cid is pretty fond of the four kids, who are over rather frequently. He thinks Vanilla's a sweet little thing and finds her beef with Vincent hilarious. Yuki, he's a little unsettled by, but can appreciate her sense. Pochi's a funny little thing, but he barely talks to the kid. He gets along best with Reycho and admires his spunk.
=== Loud Trio ===
Cid adores Beat and Xinyan. They're energy and drive outmatch his own, and really you can't do much better by him. He and Vincent end up taking care of Beat sometimes- often when he's having trouble with Chuuya. Chuuya: Cid does not like at all. It's perfectly reasonable that they would get along insanely well under any other circumstances, but since Chuuya's taken a guardianship position for Beat and Xinyan, He's constantly under Cid's scrutiny.
=== Eustass Kidd ===
Kidd happened upon Cid's ship project and found kinship in the presence of another engineer. Cid could appreciate and see himself in Kidd's vibrant personality, and gladly accepted his help with construction. He does not at all know the extent of Kidd's violent nature. L.
=== Adrien Agreste ===
His sopping wet cat demeanor has won once again.
=== Black★Star ===
They haven't even interacted, you just have to trust me.
=== Princess Peach ===
Peach was the first Mallgoer Cid befriended as she arrived alongside him. He has great respect for her true kindness and good heart. Their friendship has remained a rare constant, as they still meet for tea regularly.
