e_e; Nah. Ain't got no templates... M'just lame like that. n_n Anyhoo...
Friends -[/color] How’s that? Why would you wanna do that? As she currently has no real friends, and, as with her current ideas on romance, doesn’t have much in the way of self-worth, this one might be a bit tough. It’s not that Cass is hard to approach or talk to… she just tends to come off as not really being “in” to it. It’s only partially on purpose; she currently can’t fathom why anyone would make an effort to be more than an acquaintance unless they were looking to a) get in her pants (which might have been easy when she was a teenager, but not anymore) or b) trying to wiggle their way into close proximity to get at her family’s money. All that being said, the two ways to facilitate ‘friendship’ with Cass are 1) showing persistent interest towards her/making it blatantly obvious that you care about her or 2)piquing her interest enough to break her out of her “glaze” and have her come to you. The former is really up to the individual, and will likely be frustrating in the beginning. The latter, on the other hand, is easier than it might initially appear. Prime examples of things that might catch her interest: be a “drinking buddy” (whether by catching her in a bar and saddling up next to her or, perhaps, becoming a “favorite” bar tender), being a brawler of some kind and having her “in the audience” for a fight in which you impress, successfully navigating the stupid hedge maze around her house, or being nice to cats. Naturally, this is not an all-inclusive list and, honestly, achieving the above mentioned paths to interest work just as well in the “Romance” angle, though the end result might be a bit tougher to reach. Additionally, two categories below can worm their way into friendship… although they could also just as easily work themselves into the enemy category.
Enemies -[/color] Quite likely the easiest category to slip into, although it should be said it’s more likely one would consider Cass an enemy before she would bother thinking of individuals she actually views as “enemies.” The most obvious examples of individuals that would take issue with Cass are her co-workers at wherever “base camp” happens to be. She’s always late, she’s always hung over, and she’s more or less immune to actual discipline due to her “behind the scenes” financial contributions to the government. Sure, she is effective enough at maintaining communications with her field team subjects and she’s adept at handling most any situation that arises… but her lack of enthusiasm is especially irritating to some. Naturally, if you have an issue with alcohol consumption and/or drunks in general, you’re probably going to have a problem with Cass (whether or not she realizes it.) Do you think that everyone should be uber-professional, both in and out of the workplace? Cass probably ain’t your favorite girl. When thinking about more potentially serious enemies, any mutant that finds out Cass directly coordinates and assists government mutant hunting groups are likely to hate her automatically. On the flip-side to that, if the government ever finds out about her support of safe houses and assistance for mutants on the run, well… she might just end up as a runaway herself… or worse. And what happens if both groups find out about the other?! Hey rock? Meet hard place?
Romance -[/color] Small beginnings, love. >_>; The start is essentially the same as the Friendship category. Truly, despite her intended restraint, the most likely “romance” one might expect would be to catch her interest, get her completely smashed, and ring up a one night stand that is mostly made up of you doing whatever you want to her because she’s too out of it to bother resisting. -_o; Not very romantic, eh? Unfortunately, she’s made some serious mistakes in the past when it comes to this topic, and she much more readily accepts the idea that someone would just want a quick physical fix from her than anything of “substance.” A tough, but not impossible battle and, given that she effectively thinks she’s already lost everything associated with this game, she’s actually far more open about potential suitors – at least when it comes to physical looks and/or gender. Making her realize that anything related to “romance” is true, though? I wish you luck. It’d probably make a nice story if it worked, though. xD
Field Agents -[/color] The troops that get to hear her lovely (apathetic/lazy) voice over their ear pieces all the time! The true mutant-hunting soldiers forced to endure the hardships of dealing with a communications specialist/navigator/order giver/battle field assessor that is more likely to make an off-handed cursing remark about her hangover than offer any wonderful words of encouragement before, during, or after battle! These are good times, people! Good times! If there aren’t any characters that would like to be one of Cass’s lovely “Field Agents”, she will be randomly assigned to unimportant NPCs and random units, as per the practice mentioned in her profile. On the other hand, if there ARE any characters that want to sign up to deal with her as their personal correspondence with base camp, this section is for you! Although she will still be available to “cheat” if you are a mutant that wants to horrify her by being captured by brutal NPCs or, alternatively, terrify her by wiping out her entire team, being a hunter that chooses her as their communications specialist is akin to marrying her! But, ya know, without any of the physical attachment… or, uh, stuff. ~_~;;; Oh, yeah, and you have to share her with the other members of the team – true facts, hope you don’t mind. Naturally, this role is a more initially neutral position, interaction/personality-wise, that could easily branch out to one of the above categories, depending on how things play out. Although not quite the same category, I’ll go ahead and mention that if you have a character that happens to be a co-worker (equivalent or lower rank) or her superior, don’t hesitate to sign up for that potential misery too. =D
Other -[/color] Are you a mutant that has benefited from Cassidy’s financial contributions and want to meet her? That’s an aspect of this category, for sure. Do you have a plot idea that might require someone (probably inebriated) randomly showing up in the mix for any (or no good) reason? Probably fits here too. Are you a terrorist type that wants to kidnap someone “important” to the government and hold her for ransom? Cassidy’s yer girl! She’s probably more compliant than you’d expect! Perhaps you are a thief, and you’d like to break into this city/world’s version of the Winchester House and find a (scantily clad, but rather attractive) drunken hostess following you around, bothering you about what you are doing and potentially offering you wine, even if you’re underage? =o Cass’s home is quite accommodating. (And it seems somewhat humorous that the maid, chef, and chauffeur would deem it ‘good strategy’ to hide behind someone like Cassidy, but… whatever. =D Her kung fu is strong! …Sometimes.) Do you need a (drunken) “damsel-in-distress” to save from muggers/rapists/whatever in the wee hours of the morning walking home from a bar? =o Give her a shout out. Or anything else, really. Those are just some examples that came to mind.
