*-- Cain*
Known locally as "The Psychic" (complete with capital 'T' and 'P' to match his showman persona), Cain is the sole owner of **The Hourglass**, a small shop located in Marrow that is chock full of mystic and magic wares-- and his personal psychic services. Unbeknownst to the general public, however, his act as a psychic is just that: *an act*. He has not a single iota of psychic power; everything he passes off as psychic abilities is either smoke and mirrors, observation, sleight of hand, misdirection, cold & hot reading, or just plain theatrics.

A few more notes about Cain with his façade: - Life of the party - Probably an ENTP-esque personality - Minus the obsession with debating - Rolls with "Yes and-" - Chameleon - Can reasonably alter his own voice/accent to appeal to someone - Appears well-off - Very skilled liar - Though ironically doesn't enjoy lying |
A few more notes about Cain's true self: - Guilted and lonely - Doesn't really believe he deserves happiness - INTJ-esque personality - Poor - Has the one nice outfit that he's learned to repair/tailor himself - Basically starves himself to save funds (hence being so thin) - Depressed |
Important note: For the most part (which is to say, when the client isn't someone he actively dislikes and feels is horrible), if Cain intuits potential problems the client may be facing during any of his psychic services, he will try his best to subtly suggest help through the psychic act, be it advice for the issues at hand, his opinion on a decision, encouragement, guidance, or even just what he thinks they want to hear if it'll help them to make it through another day, etc. Cain may be a liar, but he is one with good intentions. |
**✦ Strengths** | **✧ Weaknesses** |
- Observant & perceptive - Reading others - Agile & quick - Sneaky - Silver-tongue - Improvisation & thinking on the fly - Dexterous - Persistent | - Every normal human weakness - Self-loathing & guilt-ridden - Low stamina - No magic, no powers, no extra-human anything - Physically weak in strength & defense - Weighs very little - Stubborn - Loner |

> If you were annoying to me I wouldn’t be here right now. Stop asking… it’s fine. *-- Kazuya to Cain* ### Backstory --- Don't worry about it. ### Personality --- Typically one to keep to himself, Kazuya interacts with others usually begrudgingly. He might have a low tolerance for socializing but he’s… cordial enough. Often his bluntness causes him to come off as rude without really meaning to, but primarily he’s just kind of awkward when made to interact for extended periods. Though far from being an open book he’ll still answer most questions when asked but tends to keep conversations short and to the point. The only person he seems content chatting with is Cain. His trust and loyalty is difficult to earn but those who have earned it he is fiercely protective of. There are very few people he will help without question. First and foremost being his younger brother, Masaru, followed closely by Masaru’s wife and children, though Cain seems to slowly be making his way onto that list. He’d never admit it, but the charming psychic is starting to grow on him. |
