Kassius Gainus

Appearance
Kassius is a young adult male with a slightly chubby body type, he is of average height, possessing slightly lanky legs and arms. However, his face gives him a very "Lean and Tired" look about him, with bags under his eyes, and seemingly sharp teeth, which are shown everytime he talks. His hair is usually kept short and brushed forward.

He wears a black shirt underneath a light grey zip-up jacket. A pair of worn out blue pants adorn his lower body, finished with a pair of black sneakers, with white socks. He wears a pair of thick rimmed glasses which he usually relies on to hide behind.

As "Psyche" he doffs his jacket and glasses, and swaps out his blue pants for a black pair, adding a pair of black gloves to the ensemble.

Personality
Kassius is a very introverted taking great steps to avoid socializing with people,he reluctantly talks to others if needed to. He's fiercely loyal to the people he grows close to, taking great strides to help out if needed. He has a deep seeded determination for his main goal: Being famous for his music.

While as "Psyche", his demeanor shifts, to that of a predator. Taking pleasure in watching others react to his music, he revels in their cheers and compliments. He becomes synthetic like the beats he produces, offering fake sentiments and thoughts to hide his own true feelings. If confronted about this, he usually plays it off as a "Stage" persona, scared to admit it may be something else.

Backstory
Kassius was born into a poor family, barely able to comply with many standards of living. Through it all however, he was taught to work hard to prosper, taking the lesson to heart; Kassius tried to support his family anyway possible. On his 17th birthday he discovered a very good skill with music. Thinking that this was a way to truly help his family, he tried his hand at being a DJ. However, this has led him to move away from home, facing the streets and different venues in search of a job. This caused him to embrace a "second self" as he calls it, to be more aggressive in his searchings: "Psyche" his new stage name. As of age 18, he has his sights set on one club in particular, though he's usually beaten out by the house DJ.
