## Biography

### Appearance

Cadet is a lean, slightly shorter male okapi with a pale blue coat and a pale indigo mane that he keeps neatly styled and cut short. He has white colouration on all of his legs with dark stripes running down them. His power markings manifest in the form of black gradients on his ears. Cadet's uniform consists of a neat, fitted, dark red suit with white buttons on the cuffs and a black dress shirt underneath. He also wears a white tie, a dark red headset and sunglasses at all times.

### Personality

Cadet is a completely emotionless and stoic figure, never expressing any feelings aside from confidence and indifference. He has complete faith in himself and his abilities, acting without hesitation or reluctance. He isn't much for conversation, preferring to act rather than talk, though he often shares quips or short comments during combat. Despite his quietness, Cadet does occasionally like to chat with other members of Delta Host, typically when he feels a particular respect for them.

### Powers & Abilities

Cadet utilizes a badassery core that causes him to be the very embodiment of the *badass* archetype. This makes him a tactical genius, allowing him to effortlessly plan his combat and enact it without flaw. Dodging and striking accurately are both completely effortless to him, allowing him to swiftly move through a battlefield without taking any damage. His coordination and luck are equally flawless. Further strengthening him, Cadet's intense training has rendered him S-ranked, making him an extremely powerful force in Delta Host.
