Gender:
Female
Appearance: While Cassandra does have the ability to change how she looks, her normal height is 6'2" and she has a very alluring figure of 140 lbs. Her vital statistics are 34D-24-34. Cassandra has blue eyes and long brunette hair. In most situations, including the most inappropriate ones, Cassandra can normally be found sans clothing of any form or wearing a white-mesh dress that does nothing to hide her nakedness underneath. Cassandra will normally create a long black leather whip with a carved raven on the handle when she needs it. Unlike her mother Zoelle and other water-nymphs, Cassandra does not have blue or green skin, instead having the same skin tones as most of the other gods.
Cassandra had her navel, nipples and earlobes pierced with rings made from cold steel that was forged by Hephaestus and similar to Hercules's famous arm bands so that they cannot be cut, in exchange for a month of exquisite passion. Later on, she also had similar rings placed in various other piercings all over her body.
Voice: Since Cassandra has a mischievous flirty nature, her inflection is normally the same. Her singing voice is superb as her vocal range is very large, and she regularly hums to herself. When she is upset, mad or not getting her way, profuse swearing normally emanates.
Cassandra found that by changing her tone of voice and using the right body language such as a pouting lip, she could easily get what she wants.
Cassie as a young girl |
Favorite Cities: None at the moment, since she was forced to abandon all her Lesbos temples when Dionysus became a pain in the ass know-it-all. Background: Cassandra was born as the result of the rape of a water nymph, Zoelle, by Ares, the God of War, as retaliation after an incident with Poseidon, the God of the Sea. Since neither Ares or Poseidon put any value on the child, Zoelle took Cassandra to a water nymph colony that she knew of. Cassandra adopted the nickname of Cassie while in the colony. As a very young girl, Cassie was quite vicious and regularly abused others, since she knew that she was more then they were. She became quite interested in hearing others scream out of pain and ecstasy, so regularly setup the other nymphs in those situations with satyrs and monsters. This also include seducing other female nymphs, who were quite unable to do anything about Cassie. It was during this time that she adopted the attitude of mortals being beneath her and that she could do what she wanted with them. |
The
final straw occurred when Cassie took one of the
younger water nymph and threw her to an evil monster, who abused the girl for
over a month before killing her. Cassandra was expelled from the water nymph
colony and sent out alone with nothing.
Since she was only a half-goddess at that point and vulnerable, Cassie found
it very hard to live in the outside world, interacting with humans that she knew
were beneath her. In a small town near Athens, Cassie was assaulted by a group
of angry men, who didn't like how she was so flirtatious yet arrogant and
demeaning to them. While she did manage to get away without too
much incident, Cassandra was
humiliated and very angry. It didn't take much effort for her to arrange for
them to be put on charges of murder, and she felt much happier at their
execution.
After a month of floating around, drinking heavily and selling her body for money to buy food, Cassandra remembered some of the stories that she heard while in the colony and knew that if she wanted to get anywhere, she had to obtain some Ambrosia. Using her body and minor powers, she managed to seduce, sleep with and then trick Hermes, the Messenger God, into providing some Ambrosia to her. After eating some, she was raised to a full goddess and took over the dual ethos of Violence and Debauchery - something she really delights in. Ares now took a shine to his daughter because of her tenacity and strong will, and started teaching her more about being a god. Cassie also took an interest in her uncle, Hephaestus, who she saw as someone who was just misunderstood. Cassie regularly visited Hephaestus and did a deal with him for some rings to put in her piercings.
Cassie was responsible for helping in the destruction of numerous tribes by barbarians, and severed happily at her father's side for a long time. She did have some issues and frequently violent arguments with the other minor gods, such as Strife, who hung around Ares, but knew that she was his favorite. Now that she was a full goddess, she was able to silently slip into the water nymph colony and visit her mother often, as she had full control over who could see her.
Cassandra has decided to take a more active role in the affairs of both mortals and gods then she did earlier, and is determined to increase her following by whatever means necessary.
She
has married to Hephaestus by Zeus, and is quite happy, being determined to be a
'good wife'. It wasn't long before Cassie was back to her uninhibited slutty
ways and ended getting herself pregnant.
Hephaestus was the father of one of the children inside her, and Ares was the father of the other after he raped her as punishment for trying to bash him with a vase.
After Hephaestus calmed down upon her telling him, he realised that he was going to have a child.
Cassie finally gave birth under Hera's guidance to two little baby girls. Hephaestus's child was named Clio, and given the domains of Prostitution and Lasciviousness. Ares's child was named Poissa and given the domain of Poision.
Shortly after, Hera stole Poissa as part of a plan with Ares, and started a great war when Cassie lashed out. Poissa got loose and her naturally sadistic nature lead her to kill a great number of mortals before she was stopped.
As part of a deal that Hephaestus did with Zeus and Hades, a time bubble was created and Cassie, Zoelle, Calina and Hep went into it with the two girls. Hep didn't know that Cassie was pregnant with a child from Hades at the time, and she named him Sofronio. Hep doesn't know about Hades doing that, but Sof does & hasn't told.
Inside the bubble, all the women (including Clio and Poissa when they were old enough) got pregnant numerous times and a string of children came out.
Hades used one of the rings that Hephaetus made to enslave Cassie to his bidding, and she found great pleasure in it.
Cassie went back to her ways, and lead Olympus into another war when she created a skeleton army to carve up Greece with. Zeus stopped her and punished her harshly. When Poissa jumped in too thanks to Hades, things went bad, and Cassie is now hiding in the shadows hoping Zeus calms down.
During the war, Dionysus cursed Lesbos because of her, and with Nemesis's wisdom, she was convinced that the only way to get out of it was to leave Lesbos. She has started making temples elsewhere now.
A recent decree that Zeus was forced to do has gotten her off totally scot-free.
Personality: Cassandra has been described by many as a 'sadistic perverted bitch with the most vulgar tongue in Olympus'. She has no preferences whatsoever about her lovers, which are too numerous to actually count. When Cassie wants something, she will latch on and not let go to it - one of the reasons she chose the sacred animal of the shark.
She has an insatiable need for pleasure in all forms, and will try anything. Cassandra lives for the moment, lasciviousness is one of her hobbies as much as eating Ambrosia is her favorite food. Combined that with her loose attitude plus non-existent morals, and she personifies debauchery. For some reason that she can't fathom, seeing, hearing or causing pain causes pleasure for her.
She is the epitome of 'brat', and is very insolent. She has a foul mouth and lets loose much more then she should, especially to more powerful gods. She is an anarchist at hear and loves causing chaos. This is one of the reason her cult is not very big.
Cassie also has the ability to grant water-breathing to mortals for the periods of days. In addition, she can also create items out of thin air as per standard for gods, and only mortals that she wishes to see her can.
Hobbies
& Interests: Cassandra has a number of hobbies and interests such as
archery, hunting, corrupting mortals, monster baiting, watching & participating
in sexual encounters and/or violence. She can be found sometimes masquerading as
a street-walking harlot in rich parts of major cities, tempting the powerful. As
she is still half-water nymph, Cassandra enjoys water and loves going for long
nude underwater swimming through sunken ships or reefs. Numerous times, she has
taken Melenia diving with her after making sure that she was granted
water-breathing. Cassie enjoys singing and playing musical instruments, such as
the harp, lyre and the kettle drum.
Sacred Animals: The shark and the raven. Shark statues litter the grounds and inside her temples, and ravens can always be found on the roofs or trees of the temples. The punishment for mortal transgressions against Cassandra's cult is painful death by shark.
Before
ceremonies, her followers apply body paint in the form of religious markings to
their naked bodies, specially-mixed from a secret recipe using blessed brushes
given to them by Cassandra. During some ceremonies, her followers are dragged
around on chains attached to the rings.
Due to her water nymph mother, Cassandra can breathe both air and water without problems, even though she is a goddess and is unaffected by environmental concerns such as breathing unless she chooses to.
