THE IDOL

BACKGROUND

Living in a world where everyone has wings except for you can be tough; or at least you would think. "Adopted" from a young age into an "anti-wing" community, Cassidy Kismet has had it pretty good for nearly 20 years of their life. On their 20th birthday though, a holidy meant to be celibrated in the community for weeks, something went horribly wrong. Now, the world is overrun with a virus known as "The Fever" that targets any living thing in an attempt to expand its hive. As the world began to become overrun with bugs, Cassidy's body began to be overrun with the one thing they lacked; feathers.

PRESENT

Nowadays, Cassidy travels with a rag-tag gang of survivors, following mysterious instructions from a book gifted to Cassidy from the leaders of their community for their birthday. As they travel through the ruins of society, Cassie struggles to keep their new excess wings under control, and one of their party members, Harpy, also begins to act strangely...

CHARACTERISTICS

Cassidy is the "perfect" collision of nature vs. nurture when it comes to being a leader, finding themselves in the spotlight where they like it or not; as they journey through wastelands, it becomes abundantly clear that Cassidy possess an intense phobia of bugs, and becomes extremely uncomfortable when the topic of anything relating to bugs is brought up; including "The Fever". They are a Capricorn, born December 31. They enjoy writing and poetry, but isn't too great at responding to questions in a great manner or breaking routines.

RELATIONSHIPS

Cassidy gets along with the majority of their travelling companions, with the exception of one: Shaylan. The two have butted heads ever since they joined together, being barely held together by Harpy. Out of everyone though, it's no question that Cassidy is closest to Damien. Despite staying at arms-length for weeks after they initially met, once the group begins to deteriorate from the inside, the two quickly became close and began to confide in one another.
