SEXUALITY,Heterosexual
AGE,16
ALLIANCE,Sheikah Caretaker
PERSONALITY,When it comes to protecting the Royal Family and relaxing, Cameo basically has split personalities.
Off Duty: When he’s not working, Cameo’s a pretty laidback person. He takes time to act his age and let loose, often being very talkative. He has a tendency to act rather childish, which can lead to him being stubborn and holding grudges. All in all, he’s pretty awkward when it comes to the opposite sex, which can be a nice source of comedic relief for those around him. He’s usually quite clever, but sometimes his intelligence is outdone by his hasty actions.
On duty: While working with the Royal Family or any dignitary, Cameo puts on his cloak and mask, marking the change in his personality. He rarely speaks, usually just resorting to the occasional nod or gesture unless asked a specific question. Being much more alert and thinking things through are two more traits that accompany this change; you have to be on your toes to guard royalty, after all.
There are points where these personalities merge, however. No matter what, Cameo is always loyal to those he cares for, and he’ll try to help in any way he can. He can usually plan things out pretty well, too. Due to his history, he’ll usually have an instant bone to pick with thieves, bandits, and the like no matter what he’s doing, and that’s gotten him into trouble on more than one occasion.
APPEARANCE,If I fail to paint a picture in your mind, just use this. Cameo has medium length white hair that occasionally falls into his line of vision accompanied by the traditional crimson Sheikah eyes. He’s a relatively normal height for someone his age, standing at 5’ 9’’, and his weight isn’t abnormal, weighing in at 151 lbs. He has a lithe figure on account of his race and his parkour addiction. His attire usually involves something revolving around black pants, combat boots, and a dark grey jacket with a fur trim (Normally something simple like a white shirt will be underneath his coat). When doing his job as a Caretaker, he’ll don a hooded cloak and mask.
WEAPONS,Romulus and Remus:
Knuckle Duster: Two black, solid metal knuckle dusters with studded tips. With these it's easier for Cameo to leave substantial bruises and fracture bones while engaged in hand-to-hand combat. They are usually kept in his outermost coat pockets for easy access.[/size][/blockquote]
ITEMS,
In various pockets on his person, Cameo has a compass, a neatly folded map of Hyrule, a small mirror, a pocket watch, a box of matches, and other various survival items.
ABILITIES,
Fade (Level 1): Using this, Cameo seems to effortlessly fade into the background, reappearing somewhere close by. He can use this in combat to dodge attacks or even to get the upper hand and ambush an enemy. The catch, however, is that Cameo can’t be mid-air when he uses this; he has to be able to touch a wall, floor, or other surface, and then he can reappear from another surface connected to it. (Duration: One Post, Cooldown: Three Posts)[/size]
Bind (Level 1): This ability allows Cameo to fuse his body to his target’s for a short time. A chain of darkness extends from his palm, and upon touching his target, latches on to their wrist. After attaching itself, the chain solidifies, basically creating a binding that wraps around Cameo’s wrist and his enemy’s. (To put it simply, he summons a long pair of handcuffs) (Duration: Three Posts, Cooldown: Five Posts After Bind Has Worn Off)
Shadow Cross (Level 1): In an instant, Cameo dashes up to his enemies as his swords are enveloped in a veil of shadows. He then swings each blade once, both hit doing moderate damage consecutively. This is useful when Cameo is trying to cover ground between him and his enemy. (Duration: One Post, Cooldown: Five Posts)
RACIAL ABILITIES,[/color][/size]
Defense Penetration (Level 3): After training extensively, Cameo is able to break through a powerful magic barrier.
Superspeed (Level 2): Being born a Sheikah combined with having a lithe build has allowed Cameo to move three times faster than the average person.
HISTORY,
Cameo’s parents were respected Sheikah that carried out their duties with honor. After he was born, his father insisted that he would be raised to carry on said duties, but his mother thought it was much too soon to think about such things. As he grew up, they often argued about how he should be raised. Unfortunately, his mother was taken from him by an illness when he was six. As if it were a twisted way to mourn her death, Cameo’s father decided to start rigorously training him to be a powerful Sheikah warrior. In the end this probably helped Cameo become the person he is today, but at that time it slowly made him hate his father. Wouldn’t you start to dislike someone if they didn’t even give you time to mourn before they started working you like a dog day after day?
Eventually the training must not have been enough, because Cameo’s father turned to drinking excessively. It got so bad that the Royal Family ordered him to stop his foolishness or leave altogether. Knowing he was outnumbered, he reluctantly left the castle. This is when he did the one kind thing for Cameo that he would never forget; left him there. He was basically raised by the Royal Family and their staff from that point on, and he absolutely loved it. Apparently his father held a grudge, however, because when Cameo was fourteen he tried to attack the castle with a ragtag group of bandits. The group didn’t even make it through Castle Town before getting stopped by the local guards, but they were definitely holding their own in the fight.
The battle raged on and guards were starting to die off, so the young Cameo was asked to join the fight. He grabbed two swords from the armory—the two he still uses today—and made his way to the center of Castle town. One by one he assisted the guards in taking the bandits down, until only his father remained. With slight hesitation, he asked the surrounding guards to back down; this was his fight. He locked blades with his last remaining parent in a fight that seemed to last an eternity. Cameo’s father eventually realized that he was outdone, and fled the city once again. This might have angered Cameo if it were anyone else, but he was relieved that he didn’t have to kill his father. He might have hated the man, but family is family.
Apparently one of the town guards must have told someone working in the castle, because upon arriving home Cameo was immediately asked to join the Caretakers, regardless of his age. Perhaps the Royal Family thought that since he had attempted to kill his father the boy was eternally loyal to them, but it mattered not. He now had a purpose; protecting the very people that raised him. Despite his history, Cameo is happy; the least he can do is protect the very people that make him feel this way.
