PERSONALITY 

positive: altruistic, good-natured, charismatic, intelligent, enthusiastic, laid-back (mostly)
negative: critical, stubborn, sensitive, short-tempered, disorganised, mischevious
altruistic: Cassius is the type of guy who wants to help everyone, and will spend his life trying to help others. He and his mother often spend time outside of the palace, giving food and other necessary items to the poor of the kingdom. Cassius doesn't ever want anything in return either, he just likes to help.

good-natured: Cassius can be counted on to be generally always in a good mood. It takes a lot to bring this guy down. He's great to be around if you need some cheering up, and he's always the one to crack jokes or do something stupid to make someone else laugh. He walks around with a huge grin on his face most of the time, and he is a pleasure to be around.

charismatic: Cassius has always had this air about him that seems to draw people in. He's great at making friends, great at strenghtening relationships, and he is very good at keeping up the trust built in relationships Atlantis has with other under sea territories. There's something in his smile, in the way his eyes always twinkle with amusement that people seem to like a lot.

intelligent: Cassius is a smart guy. He's going to be taking over the kingdom one day, so he definitley can't be stupid. He has always found it easy to absorb new knowledge and implement knowledge he has already learnt into practical situations. One day he will make a great king.

enthusiastic: Cassius has a lot of energy. He's always throwing himself head-long into something, be it his studies, messing around with his brothers or enjoing life on the surface.

laid-back: Cassius is a very chilled out, laid back kind of guy for the most part. He's a go with the flow person, and not much phases him. He has an ability to simply roll with whatever situation life decides to throw at him. 

critical: Cassius is very critical of himself, but also of those around him. He can always find something wrong in the way he handled a situation, the strength of his power, the way he fights. He will tear himself apart over small things. Also if people do something stupid around him, or something he doesn't agree with, he has no reservations in telling them. He's a prince remeber? He was raised to be that way. 

stubborn: It would be easier to get Mt Everest to float up from the Earth and do a sick backflip that it is to get Cassius to change his mind. Cassius will argue with you until he is blue in the face if he thinks he is right, and he honestly doesn't care. 

sensitive: Cassius despite his tough exterior is actually a huge softy. So he tends to take criticism and comments deeper than anyone means it. He is the type of person to worry that he's upset someone if they change their usual tone of voice in front of him, the type to obsess over what might have been a throw away comment for the other person. 

short-tempered: so 97% of the time Cassius is a very chilled out and easy going guy. the other 3% of the time however, he is probably yelling in some poor person's face. when he calms down he usually apologises to whoever is on the end of his tirade, but if you deserved it he defintely won't. 

mischevious: Cassius is a fun guy. This does lead to the fact that he has trouble being serious when the situation calls for it sometimes. It's just very against his whole personality to sit down and be somber and serious, so he just doesn't. If the situation is truly terrible he can reign himself in, but most of the time he finds himself at the end of many glares because he's cracked a joke in an inappropriate situation. 

disorganised: 67% of the time Cassius is a mess. He is so glad that he will have his brothers as advisors to help him when he is king because otherwise he'd probably manage to lose track of a very important document and tear Atlantis apart. 
background 
Cassius is the oldest son of King Hadrian and Queen Valeria of Atlantis. As first born and heir to the throne of Atlantis, his birth was very important and was thus celebrated throughout all the territories of Atlantis. Cassius' life has been filled with training since he was old enough to understand the importance of his role. He had to learn things like history, politics, traditional ceremonies as well as different styles of fighting and how to control his powers. Cassius spent much of his life in lessons like these, but they were necessary as his parents reminded him, as he will have jurisdiction over all Atlantians in the Atlantis territories along with a large number of allied sea creatures. Cassius' brothers were also subjected to these lessons as well, as even though they were not going to take the throne one day, they were still princes of Atlantis and therefore needed to have the same knowledge. Cassius also had lessons about normal things that were taught in school, but instead of going to a school with all the other Atlantians his age, he was taught in the palace by a private tutor. Cassius really didn't have much time to mix with children outside of his brothers growing up in Atlantis, but he did manage to make a few friends outside of his family, like the children of the staff working at the palace. Hadrian and Valeria were (and still are) very big on accomodating their staff's families and also treating them well and paying them decently. The king and queen of Atlantis are much loved by their subjects, and accordingly the 4 princes are loved too. Cassius wants to live up to his parents when he rules, and he has made sure to throw himself into his study as well as attend his father's council meeting and pay close attention to them. Cassius' free time really came when he moved onto land when he was 23. It is quite common for Atlantians to spend part of their youth on land, experiencing life above water and learning about humans. Cassius and his brothers own a nice beach front house on the Greek Island of Santorini. He's spent most of his time above water for the last 3 years, spending some quality time with his brothers, and interacting with humans.  
relations

        tumblr_nrovprMlTO1qzzelmo1_1280.png

• Hadrian Whitewater (fc jeremy renner) / father / 57 / Hadrian is a good king and a good father. He experienced first hand what it was like growing up with parents so focused on the duties of ruling that they neglected him and his sister. So Hadrian vowed to never be like that with his children, and they are all the better for it. Cassius looks up to his father immensley, and wants to be every bit the just and kind king that his father is. They spend a lot of time together, and overall the Whitewater familt unit is very close. 
         tumblr_nrovprMlTO1qzzelmo1_1280.png
• Valeria Whitewater (fc cate blanchett) / mother / 56 / Cassius also holds a deep respect for his mother and her abilities as queen. He goes to her for advice about a lot of things, including relationships but also decisions that he has to make as crown prince. Valeria is always happy to be there for her son (any one of her sons at that) with a warm hug and an understanding smile. 
     tumblr_nrovprMlTO1qzzelmo1_1280.png
• Julius Whitewater  (fc josh mario john) / brother / 25 / Cassius and Julius are extremely close. Wherever one is, the other is sure to follow. They tell each other absolutely everything, and Cassius is going to make Julius his chief advisor when he becomes king. Maybe part of the reason Cassius and Julius get along so well is because they are so similar in personality, and are the closest in age. Whatever it is, Cassius will always value his brother and his advice over a lot of things. 
      tumblr_nrovprMlTO1qzzelmo1_1280.png
• Lucius Whitewater (fc ben dahlhaus) / brother / 23 / Cassius and Lucius are also quite close. They will never be as close as Cassius and Julius are, but Lucius is very close to Tiberius so no one is resentful. Lucius is the brother who tends to get up to a lot of mischief, which is where he and Cassius have their most fun together. Lucius is the brother who tends to be out partying all the time, never serious about his duties, always with a different guy or girl. He's not a bad person at all, he's just rebelling from the prince mold as he's growing up. 
      tumblr_nrovprMlTO1qzzelmo1_1280.png
• Tiberius Whitewater (fc jamie campbell bower) / brother / 21 / Cassius is very protective of his youngest brother. Tiberius has always been quieter than his older brothers, always the one to spend his time in the palace library rather than out doing things with people, the one to duck his head and stuggle a little with public speaking. In fact, Julius and Lucius are very protective of Tiberius as well. It is a well known fact that people who mess with Tiberius end up regretting that desicion.

capabilities
super hero name  Proteus. Cassius always had a fondness for the stories told about one of the old great kings of Atlantis, so he decieed to use the name in honour of that king.  

Plotline  Aquaman

When did you realize you had powers? was there anything special that lead up to it?  
I was born with these powers. In fact, many of my powers are quite common amongst Atlantians. My bloodline however does give me an advantage in that I am more powerful than Atlantians outside of the royal family. Even then, through my years of training I am now only outmatched by my father.

just what you are you?.  
I am an Atlantian. Specifically I am crown prince of Atlantis. Our natural forms are more recognisable to humans by the title merman or mermaid. However most of us take offence to that descriptor, as we are neither mosters from legen nor magical characters from children's stories. 

Capabilities.
I have the ability to swim extremely fast in my natural form, although as Julius will always remind me he is faster. i, along with all other Atlantians can communicate with sea creatures, although as I am of the royal bloodline I can communicate with them much more easily. Which comes in handy when renegotiating treaties and so forth. I have found being on land that I can also communcate with the creatures who live up here. Speaking of which, I have the ability to change between my natural form and my human form at will. Also when I am on land I have control over water. I still have this control in my natural form, but as the ocean is it's own master I tend to have less control there. 
super hero outfits?  
In his natural form Cassius wears only his circlet, and his gauntlets. His arms, hands, neck and torso are completely covered in tattoos (these tattoos are sort of a coming of age thing, every Atlantian over the age of 18 has them, all in different designs of course). Cassius' tail is orange and red in his natural form. He is usually armed with his trident as well. In his human form Cassius wears his circlet, a sleveless chest armour, gauntlets, black military pants and combat boots. His tattooes remain in his human form as well. Cassius is also usually armed with his trident in his human form. (a pinterest board for Cassius too) 
other  
Besides his natural powers, Cassius is also extremely well trained in many forms of hand to hand combat and also combat with his trident. He has spent his life being trained by his parents and also a few of the high ranking generals from the Atlantian army. 
Trivia  
Even though a lot of Cassius' powers come from him simply being Atlantian, and that most other Atlantians can dow hat he can, he is of the royal bloodline, which makes his powers much much more powerful than Atlantians who are not of the royal bloodline.

comments Here is Cassius finally! I'm so sorry he took so long, a heap of family stuff has happened in the past week and a bit, and I haven't had as much time to work on him recently. Also I hope it's okay that I gave Titania to him. I just had her in my mind the whole time I was writing his app so I thought it was fitting. I'm leaving their love story completely up to you though, my only request is make it cute ;)
