the ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?




We all learn to make mistakes, and run from them
With no direction, we'll run from them from them.
With no conviction
I'm just one of those ghosts. Traveling endlessly.
Don't need no roads
In fact they follow me. And we just go in circles[/font][/center]

CHARACTER PERSONALITY ,
the more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind[/color]

STRENGTHS:

His seemingly undying rage; another great motivation, and a great way to get people to get the fuck out of his way. See also, weaknesses.
street smarts; they're smarts, so that's a big enough strength in themselves. Cain knows how to handle himself on the streets, and how to get around the place without losing any teeth. His only downfall is that rage, though...
burglary; He's not the best at it, but he can pretty much steal anything he wants. It's a good thing he doesnt tend to want anything too large or conspicuous. Money is the most obvious thing for him to steal, and he can do that in any way he see possible.
darts; Yup. Cain's pretty good with darts. He can get that bullseye on the damn dartboard in very few shots, just because practice makes perfect. All those nights spent out after curfew at the pool hall really do give him something to show for it.
generally intimidating
By no means is he the most terrifying individual in the world, but Cain has a knack for making people feel small. The way he carries himself, right down to his walk, has something to do with it. He has a habit of glaring at people, also, and frowning rather unneccessarily at things people say to him, no matter what they are saying. He will speak in a lower tone of voice, narrow his eyes and ask fairly rhetorical questions if need be, just to make others aware of his presence. Generally, that'll do the trick.

WEAKNESSES:

rage; it gets him into a lot of trouble, as one must assume. With the street smarts, he can usually get out of the trouble pretty well, but he does things a 'normal' person just wouldn't do, out of anger. Shooting people because they're there? That's definitely a reason to call his anger a weakness.
carly; she is probably his biggest weakness. he still loves her, and she affects him in so many ways. he hates it cause she makes him vulnerable

LIKES:

las vegas, parties, sex, drinks, women, cars, action movies, soda, driving, the desert, magic, making bets, getting into fights, leather jackets, long legs, brunettes, mullet rock, philosophy, greek mythology, reading, coffee, cigarettes, animals, playing pool, the rain, carly sutton....

DISLIKES:

the smell of burned rubber, the beach, bad sex, hairy women, fat women, poorly made drinks, cheesiness, crying, feet, those drinks with the tiny umbrellas, adam sandler, losing money, losing fights, clingy girls, midgets, when people eat with their mouth open, gum, sluts, girls who smoke ...

FLAWS:

He is stubborn and impulsive. He is also a compulsive liar. he is arrogant on the outside, and comes off as being extremely confident. it couldnt be furthest from the truth.

HABITS:

smirking – Cain smirks when he wants to prove a point, around people he doesn't like, and when he's being cheeky.
scratching his head – Cain scratches his head when he's thinking, trying to distract himself, trying not to look like he's horny and when he genuinely has an itch on his head. It's probably the worst of his habits, only second to punching people and yelling.
punching people - A bad habit, and one that stems from anger. There's not much more to say here. People just infuriate him. He needs help for that.
yelling - It's just so much fun to hang shit on people, ain't it? Yelling makes the angry world go 'round.

SECRETS:

well, he doesnt know he was stolen from the hospital as a baby and that he has a twin brother in Valkyrie. he has a kid that was given away for adoption, and he knows where she is

BEST MEMORY:

Moving to Vegas, and away from all the shit memories he had in Keizer

WORST MEMORY:

The whole drama with Carly. Getting her pregnant and her having to give her away. It really got to him, but he pretends not to give a shit

OVERALL PERSONALITY:

• ANGRY
•
• The greatest point in the entirety of his personality, is the one of rage. No doubt, there is a deep seated anger management problem going on here, but he'll never admit it, or try to correct it. Simply looking at the man wrong could get you a face full of fist, or worse. Hell, why even look at him wrong? Simply looking at him at all could set him off. Some part of it stems from his deep hatred for most other people in the world, for reasons only that they are not him, and he should not care how they feel. He uses his anger to make them upset, or to gain some kind of power over them. He never uses manners unless speaking to Carly, and gives short or distasteful answers in the company of most others.
•
• LOYAL
• To one person and one person only, but still a fair point. Cain is a loyal man. Cain has the heart of a truly loyal man, and if it weren't for his anger, and early rebellion, he might just have been the kind of man society loved for it.
•
• CRUEL
• His anger, coupled with his relatively quick wit, can make him a cruel opponent. Of a brutish appearance, standing tall and heavy, typically he's not so much expected to have a brain at all, but with very little, he can prove those who doubt him wrong. His insults are the cruel part, as well as the way he'll try to tangle you up in lies, or slander. Any way he can escape is the path he wants to take, and no matter who is in the crossfire, from the president to a peasant, he's going to make you feel it when you lose. He'll kick you when you're down, verbally and physically, often at the same time.
•
• LOVING
• The strangest of all points. After the above, this seems unlikely, but is wholly true. He can be a truly loving man. A walking contradiction of a man, but a loving one nonetheless. He loves the thrill of the things he does, and he desperately needs to get out the anger sometimes, but a good deal of the reasons why he does some of the horrible things he does are so she can reap the benefits. Remarkably, because of this love, his anger has never spilled over onto her. She is the only thing in this world that calms him down completely. And yes, we are talking Caroline Sutton.
•
• IMMATURE
• More mature than some, but he's definitely not all there in terms of maturity. Almost like an overgrown teenager, lacking the structure said teen needs to grow into a successful adult. He's got the smartass mouth of a seventeen year old boy, and he eats and drinks whatever the hell he wants, such as a teenage boy would. Often these things include sugar, such as with his favorite soda being raspberry. He makes dirty jokes, cusses and sometimes his chuckle almost comes out as a giggle in the company of the right people. To rebut, he also carries a good deal of maturity, such as that about death, violence and when it all comes down to it, sex. He just carries himself in a more immature manner on a good day.
•
• MANIPULATIVE
• It doesn't always work, but that's just life. He tries to manipulate, and when it works, it works pretty damn well. He likes to forget about the times that it doesn't. Cain will always try his darndest to mix you up and get inside your head. Whether it's getting you to do as he asks, or just getting you off his case, he's going to try and find the best way out of the crisis. Typically, a little bit of intimidation used to work, with older folks, younger folks and those who had no way out. With bigger fish, though, bigger guns, like actual guns, are in play. Sometimes simple words just don't cut it anymore.

AND WE'LL BOTH GROW OLD ,[/color]
CHARACTER HISTORY ,
well i don't know, i don't know, i don't know, i hope so[/color]

HOMETOWN: He grew up in keizer
PARENTS: martin & tera malinda (real parents}
sandra & oscar archer
SIBLINGS:
amber malinda and seth malinda
OTHER: the malindas
LIVING SITUATION: shaks
HISTORY:

- he was born in new york along with his twin brother seth. but he was stolen from the hospital by a nurse. she and her husband apparently were unable to have kids themselves and so they decided to take this baby and move away. move to keizer. it was such a small town compared to the big apple, but they figured that here, noone would ever find out the truth. that here, they would be able to raise this child as their own without any problem.
- there, cain grew up spoiled silly. he had everything a kid could ever ask for. after all, he was like a miracle child, right?
-he was a trouble maker, but it was nothing out of the ordinary. he was really focus in his studies and he liked to read a lot. specially cooks about philosophy, and greek mythology. he always managed to get good grades and teachers seemed to love him
- he was part of the popular crowd back in keizer and it became even more so when he was in high school. because he was always into sports, he made it to the football team, and before he knew it he became the quarterback. this also got him lots and lots of ahem.
-cain was never considered to being a player, but he liked the company of girls. contrary to popular belief, he was not really attracted to whores. bad girls seemed so fake to him and he lost interest rather quickly.
- he was known as the golden boy, with a free ride to the best university in the state and blah, blah, blah. you know the story. football scholarship with an interest in law. yeah, he wanted to be a lawyer once. but it all turned to shit thanks to a beautiful young brunette
- enter carly sutton. cain fell head over heels over the girl, and since she was a cheerleader at the time it made that more sense to tap that. she was gorgeous, and funny and so sexy. she was everything a guy like him could ever ask so they became the it couple, just like we have seen in so many popular high school tv shows.
- they were destined to be king and queen and all that jazz. cliche much? but im not making this shit up. they were perfect. everyone knew that they made for each other. unfortunately life had other plans for the couple. carly became pregnant and an outcast. and cain instead of sticking up for her and risking damaging his reputation decided to dump her. it was not an easy decision to make, but his popularity seemed to be more important to him at the time.
- he watched as carly suffered and he just hid like a coward. he dated other girls and pretended not to care about carly because it was just easier for him. this made him grow bitter and alone. yeah he had people around him because he was still considered to be king of the hill, but he was miserable. he never stopped loving her and when she gave birth to their child he actually visited her at the hospital. he never saw her, but he saw their baby
- next thing he knows, carly was giving their daughter away, and he couldnt do a damn thing to stop it. i mean, what could he have done? he was never there for her and the baby when they needed him the most, and now it was just too late. he tried talking to her once, but she didnt want anything to do with and with good reason.
- it was also around this time that he found out that he himself was adopted. or at least thats what he though, or still thinks. he still ignores the real truth. that he was actually stolen. god forbid he ever found that out.
- this was when he decided to give keizer and everyone who lived there his middle finger and decided to travel across the country, but not before finding out exactly where his daughter was.
- he has been to new york, texas, arizona, pennsylvania, los angeles. it was here, in the city of angeles that he found out where they had taken his daughter. he never visited, of course. but it was reassuring to know where she was and who was taking care of her
- after los angeles, he traveled to las vegas and decided to stay. there, he found a job at the voodoo lounge as a bartender and he has been working there ever since
- he really has not plans for the future, but he will discover that you cant escape your past. that it always comes back to bite you in the ass. in his case, it will come in the form of a petite brunette with the name of caroline sutton
