Cassius

Cassius is a Player Character in Forgotten Indigo, played by RomaHeroii.

Cassius is technically a private citizen of Indigo and former detective. He miraculously managed to survive the exile and still walks the streets as one of the few remaining members of the old administration. His role in protecting the city is unclear due to his current condition.

Two years ago, Cassius [REDACTED].
Since then he's worked as a protector of the peace while trying to piece together what exactly occurred to him that night. He works regularly to help the people of Indigo and better the state of the city.

## Basic Information

### Physical Appearance

Cassius is a tall man with messy red hair and an even messier trench coat. He has pale, grey skin and a bit of facial hair, along with a large scar across his left eye. He has tight cloth bound around his neck and a holster on his leg, though he doesn't often use a gun. He has a strong build, and has been mentioned, very insistently, to not be a twink or a twunk.

### Backstory

A year and a half before the beginning of the campaign, Cassius awoke in his apartment with no memory of the past or who he was. After investigating his surroundings, he stumbled outside, discovering his ability: Red String of Fate. Following its directions, he made his way out into the city, entering a strange shop of curiosities and meeting the shopkeeper within: Arche. There, he finds himself drawn to a small badge, uncovering memories of someone dear to him, not quite able to fully grasp who it is.

Since then, he began working at an independent detective agency with Dodge, and has made a habit of helping out the citizens of Indigo whenever he can. Because of his efforts, he's become known as a bit of a local hero.

**Pre-Death**
Before he was brought back, Cassius used to be a member of the now-defunct Indigo Police Force. He worked with a partner that he trusts completely. On the Empty Night, he refused to take part in the Mayor's coup and stood on the side of the people of Indigo. The rest of the details are too fuzzy to recall. (More details to be added as discovered.)

## Relationships

### Arche

Arche was the first person Cassius had seen since waking up for the first time. They share a very similar kind of "weirdness," and their schedules tend to sync up very commonly. They spend a lot of their off-time together.

### Dodge

Dodge works at the Pomme de Terre Detective Agency alongside Cassius. He's secretly a bit miffed that Dodge didn't come live in his apartment when moving into Indigo, but doesn't say anything because the building is well known for being "super haunted."

### Minor

* Gallav: Knows Cassius for his help around Shrine Street, and thinks rather highly of him.
* Frelia: Acquaintances; she runs Cassius' favorite diner (and has a pet kirin that he adores.)
