LIKES
FIRE: It's been an obsession, due to her father's line of work. It's one of the few things in her life that still remains a constant. Since her brother's death, and her father's blatant disregard for the rest of the family since, it's the only way she actually feels united with her father. Even if it means that she'll burn the town to the ground.
SOBRIETY: With the death of her brother, her mother turning to alcoholism-- and her brother doing drugs on the side. Casey actually is completely clean, claimed straightedge actually. Truth be told she's still a virgin, how long that will last no one is quite sure. It's strange to see someone in Smooth Criminals with morals, but... Casey is a rare breed.
MUSIC: One of the few things that still makes sense in her confused state of mind.
ANYTHING HORROR RELATED: Always the first with the lasted ramero movie, or horror-survival video game. She is addicted to horror movies. the more gore, the better. Zombies? Don't get her started on them.
FIGHTING: Don't let her petite figure fool you, baby girl knows how to land hit after hit. She takes kick boxing, ya know? The girl isn't afraid to throw the first punch, and she's not afraid to curbstomp your bitch ass either.
BODY MODIFICATION: Always going to tattoo conventions and whatnot, she's gained a love for piercings and tattoos, but is actually petrified of needles.
READING: People think she's a lot less intelligent than she actually is. Due to her actions, they believe she's an idiot-- Honestly though? Even though she skips school, and doesn't do her homework, she self-teaches herself everything she knows.
DISLIKES
SCUM: Scum is a broad-term for Casey. These would be liars, snitches, fake people, hypocrites, disloyal people, lawyers, politicians. You know, general scum of the earth.
AUTHORITY: While yes, it is a necessary evil-- She still doesn't have to like it.
VULNERABILITY: For someone who doesn't like to be vulnerable-- Casey often finds herself in that situation. Due to the fact she has a rather open heart towards people, it bites her in the ass. Frequently.
FAMILY: Uh.. Her birth family, actually. Ever since her brother's death things haven't been the same. They moved, and everything changed. She hates who they've become, and can't find a way to bring them back.
INSECTS: Due to hallucinations at a young age, Casey has a debilitating fear of most bugs. Mostly that of moths, centipedes, worms, cockroaches, and the like.
RELIGION: All the main religions, she hates really. Not that she isn't religious-- or that she doesn't believe in any form of higher power-- She just thinks the main ones are fucked.
POLITICS Don't get her started. She will rage, hard.
FEARS
FAILURE She's afraid of failing her friends, and those she loves. She's afraid that it will compromise any respect they have for her, and she does not want to risk that. not after all she went through.
DEATH OF A LOVED ONE After all ready losing a family member once, the thought-- The very notion of another person she loves... The thought actually makes her almost paralyze in fear.
QUIRKS
TREMORS: Due to mixed medication as a child for the hallucinations by a medical intern, she's permanently suffering from the early stages of Parkinson's Disease, the doctors doubt it will fully blow into the horrid ailment, but.. No one knows for sure.
OBSERVANT: Be it paranoia, or just observing the surroundings. Where ever Casey goes she glances at every single thing, taking every little detail. Every face, every one. Because she couldn't describe the face of her brother's murderer-- He was never caught. if something happens, she's not making that mistake twice.
SECRETS
MENTAL DISORDERS: Suffering from Acute Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Survivor's Guilt-- Various things trigger both, and when those triggers happen she tends to either space out into the memory, or have a panic attack.
DREAMS
TO BECOME A SIGNED MUSICIAN: To be quite honest, Casey writes acoustic music and she would like nothing more than to be signed.
TO FORGET EVERYTHING Honestly, she would give up everything and everyone-- If it meant not having the visions replaying in her head.
PERSONAL HISTORY
casey downes always has seemed a little off. her personality seems to be in sections, due to the medications she was taking as a child. she has very good positive attributes, but at the same time-- very negative attributes. for one, and this can be taken as good or bad. she always, and i mean always is looking at her surroundings. like an owl she watches everything within a five foot radius. it's not on purpose, and sometimes she doesn't even realize she's doing it. it's a strange thing, honestly. she tries to control it, but... whenever she's nervous, or upset, or startled... she looks at everything. analyzes everything. almost as if she's afraid that the one thing she doesn't see will kill her or worse. not that she actually thinks something is going to pop out and kill her. the doctors believe it's part of her brain protecting herself, due to the fact she used to hallucinate frequently as a child.
getting down to casey's core personality, she is really a sweet girl, driven by morals and a sense of loyalty. she claims the straightedge lifestyle which is a sober living lifestyle. she abstains from mind-altering drugs, and alcohol. she also abstains from casual sex, waiting for someone she really has a sense of attachment to before losing her virginity. yes, casey is still a virgin, and she really doesn't care. anyways, she's a very respectful, and tolerant person-- to an extent, but we'll get to that later. she's very passionate about music, and about the hardcore punk music scene- as it is where her roots are, even though the music she writes doesn't always coincide with that of punk music. with being born and raised in haverhill, massachusetts-- it's not strange to see her love of her hometown, and her hometown's music scene. her room is actually covered with old band fliers, ad whatnot. when it comes to friends ,and the like though. she's rather silent upon first meeting them. as she gets to know them more she becomes a bit of a chatterbox, and showing her slightly opinionated side. almost always she has an open ear to her friends, and is willing to give them advice to the best of her abilities.
unfortunately with any high positives, there have to be low negatives. in this case, our little girl is a loose cannon waiting to blow in anyone's face at anytime. she's quick to turn on people, and when she's angry and you try to stop her from getting into a fight-- you risk getting hit yourself. she believes almost anything her friends tell her. she's a firm believer in vengeance, and actually lost all faith in karma when her brother was murdered by a drug dealer. her strength comes from a long love/hate relationship with rage. she can't just simply calm down from an episode, she needs to let her emotions out somehow or someway-- and that's how she grew so attached to hardcore music, it was one way she could vent it out without purposefully hurting anyone else-- because more often than not people were in the same devastating mindset. after her brother's murder though, she became detached to the scene, and began taking out her rage in various other ways-- including lighting things ablaze.
casey has a tolerance for almost everything--- except those who wrong her, her friends, and her family. at that point, the girl almost seems to lose control-- running off of rage and anger. which is actually why she moved. it was based off of a rumor casey had heard from one of her best friends who had called it truth. in a blind fit of hate, a fight broke out between her and a girl not much bigger than her. the girl ended up choking her from behind, and when kicks and elbows didn't work... she noticed the girl's mouth was open and reached in-- with all her mind she yanked as hard as she could until she heard bones crack. the girl's jaw was broken at the sides. what she saw as self defense, everyone else saw as a horrendous crime-- even though she didn't throw the first punch. she's lost all sense of remorse since then, and believes that she only gives people what they have coming.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE
memories reverbed in casey's head, conversations and odd stillnesses between them. alex was one of the few people she could stand being quiet in a room with. there was no awkwardness, no sense of nervousness. she still remembered during freshman year, she had a crush on him-- but as they hung out more it seemed to have fade completely. every day up until this year, she had seen jackie ruin alex's life. making fun of him constantly, and all of that. even still, she remembered alex's words 'don't hate him'. alex was merciful, and generally a kind person. casey, well.. she wasn't the forgiving type. jackie had fucked up on numerous occasions, and... alex wasn't even really angry, just dissapointed. it made casey feel so odd, even now. jackie was still whoring around-- even though he swore he was going to be true to liam- or whoever the fuck this new kid was. everyone had been babying jackie, saying how unfortunate he was. yeah, he was unfortunate. oh poor him, the fiance whom he bullied and beaten got killed. poor jackie, oh he's hurting. he just slept with three people, cheated on vanity, oh but he loves liam. it felt like everyone was defending his actions, she saw it like everyone was babying him.
casey didn't feel sorry for him, she blamed him for everything. in all honesty, she hated him. she couldn't stand anything about him. oh how she faked it, she faked it so well. alex would have been proud how well she used the facade of happiness. the only saving grace that didn't make her throw everything in jackie's face and call that boy every name in the book was his precious alex-- who had been swiftly replaced by his new fucking toy. he was like a dog, in every way. honestly, casey didn't want to be mad at him, but everything was still... too fresh. constantly this week people had told her to get over it. they didn't get it though, she didn't think they ever would. a piece of her died that day, what people didn't realize was... alex happened to be the more positive out of the two. with him gone it left her as the pessimistic shell of a girl she once was. she was confused, she was... mentally exhausted to say the least.
twisting one of her orange locks with her fingertips, she remembered her angry stupor.. she chopped off most of her hair. it looked well, but it felt odd. everything felt odd. the starbucks felt particularly cold today, which made the small figure slide the sleeves of her black hoodie back down. it was one alex had boughten her for christmas. on the back it said "without heart we are nothing" and on the front it had the olive branches with a crown in the middle. it was a christmas gift that casey had squeaked over. taking a sip of her hot chocolate, she smiled slightly at the song that played overhead. it was some pop top forty song that alex used to sing on chatroulette all the time, there were youtube videos of it. the memory couldn't stop casey from softly laughing.
it would be a lie to say the space cadet 'didn't' know that her clique member was there. honestly, there were a lot of reasons she was thinking of leaving--- he was probably in the top ten, she didn't really remember why, maybe it was just the memories were too severe. as jackie sat down, she glanced up at him. her emerald eyes seemed tired, dark circles made casey's look seem so... unlike her. it was as if what was left of her sanity had been sucked out with it. one of many reasons that prompted her family to come down for the next couple months. taking a 'vacation' as they so aptly put it. "hey jackie," she spoke softly, biting her scabbed over lower lip. she looked like hell, to put it bluntly. "how are things with liam going?" she really wasn't interested in how his relationship was... she just had to be civil.
