#from now on you shall have the tag

“It must be wonderful to be able to do that.”

Twenty eyes blink in semi-unison, now focused on me

It doesn’t feel how it would if they were the eyes of strangers

It’s my friend

“What exactly are you referring to?”

The brush feathers delicately across the canvas

My favorite part of painting is the tiny details

I often add on and on for days after it should be done

Unlike people, paintings are ever evolving

“The shape shifting.”

The boy in the canvas doesn’t look back at me

My subjects never do

They’re afraid to look beyond the veil, to see who they truly are

I don’t blame them

“A given, that that would appeal to you.”

Its eyes settle on my painting

It always pretends to be impressed by my work

But I know such a well traveled and long lived entity must have seen so much better

“You draw that boy rather often.”

I nod absently

This peek into another world is mine to control

I get to play God here

My work will inevitably be destroyed

But first I will create them beautifully

In the image of who I wish to be

“You could call it my own form of shape shifting.”

—Poem anon.

so REVENGE, HUH? or justice, if that makes you feel better. it tastes the same when cooked just right. 'I REALLY WANTED A BROTHER.' such a shame to burn a bridge you so desperately wanted to keep, especially when it wasnt even you who started the fire. especially when you hope that not a single fragment of that bridge ever washes ashore.[MAY IT ROT FAR FROM MY SIGHTS] an unfortunate loss! atleast he has his friends.

– CASSIDY SHAFFER.

Following the tragic deaths of his parents and siblings, Cassidy was sent to an orphanage at the age of eight where he lived for a couple of years. An incident caused the building to collapse and he was buried under the rubble, which caused him to be in a coma for six months. His injuries were very serious and he needed to have several of his bones replaced with cybernetic bones which he has to this day; on top of that, his nervous system got such a shock he now has to deal with very low pain tolerance. He's very sensitive to touch and more than often refuses to let people get near, even the lightest brush of someone's fingers past his skin can feel like a solid punch if he's not been expecting it.

Cassidy was a very intelligent kid and he let himself get recruited into Militech at the age of 16, seeing no other future for himself. He had strategic insight and administrative skills, as well as a knack for computers and digital technology the other candidates lacked- this caused his two year training period to be cut short and he began working for Michele Diaz, one of his superiors. He worked for Militech for several years, but continuously got himself into trouble; he was sent away from bodyguard duty after they found out he was killing his clients himself (they were rude to him and wouldn't stop doing so when he asked them nicely), was sent away from his desk job because he continuously got into heated arguments with his coworkers (started by them after he tried to offer them help), was sent away from his netrunning job because he kept hacking into Militech's own systems (he had nothing else to do so he did this to pass the time and write detailed reports on how their security could be improved), and he even didn't last long in the cleanup crew he was placed in because he kept gathering evidence and data on crime scenes which he would then sell to other corporations, to hold this against them, involve NetWatch and essentially blackmail everyone until he would walk away from the situation victorious and with large sums of money for Militech. This eventually prompted his superiors to "recommend" him to MaxTac and Cassidy was placed over to the other corporation.

At MaxTac, Cassidy got his somewhat obnoxious and pretentious attitude rather quickly beaten out of him; not literally, but his duties as "intern" were heavy enough for him to switch to an almost autopilot state of living. He spent some years barely present while doing field work, until he got injured and was moved to a desk job to make a full recovery. Here, he had to oversee the cyberpsycho reprogramming program at MaxTac HQ and worked directly under Officer Reid Bennett, a senior MaxTac exec who from day one showed interest in him. They grew close quickly and started a romantic relationship only two months after meeting each other, and to Cassidy it felt like he had known Reid for years already. This of course could not last; much later it turned out Reid's initial curiosity had been a temporary feeling only and he had only kept Cassidy around as entertainment, and he ended their relationship rather suddenly during a time Cassidy was already spiraling because of work-related business. After yet another incident which involved Cassidy killing his entire squad after they had made fun of him, he was forced to run away from the corporation and sought shelter at Kang Tao.

Kang Tao also did not last long for Cassidy. Following yet another fight with a colleague (they blamed Cassidy for something he hadn't even had anything to do with and humiliated him in front of the entire division), Cassidy released a bunch of Kang Tao-related scandals to the public and bounced before they could capture him to deal with him. Naturally so, he has very big trust issues nowadays and prefers to be all by himself most of the time, despite secretly longing for more human contact; it physically hurts him and there's a big chance they'll dislike him anyway, so he prefers to just save himself the trouble and stay away from others as best as he can.

Nowadays, Cassidy is an assassin, taking jobs from anyone as long as they have nothing to do with a corporation; if he were to find out his client has been lying to him, he simply kills them too for that reason alone. He's once again running completely on autopilot, actively pushing away all his feelings and emotions at all times to be able to keep his calm and collected composure; however, all of that is going to be changing soon. I'm writing a fic about it if you're interested :].

Bonus fact: Despite him being the equivalent of the standing man emoji most of the time, Cassidy is actually very sweet and kind- he just needs to snap out of his autopilot mode first and allow people to get close to him again. He actually loves holding hands with people he trusts and can talk for hours on end about things that interest him, and he's always very considerate and puts in a lot of effort to learn about the people around him to make sure he doesn't accidentally hurt them, and to be able to surprise them with a gift or their favorite food one day :]. It takes him a while to get there but he gets there in the end.
