Appearance
Daylight:
When Syna is in the sky, Casimir assumes the form of his mortal seeming, a young Charoda. Smooth, rubbery cyan skin leaves him streamlined, webbed toes and fingers making him made for water. Like the rest of this race, he has no hair, with only a dorsal fin running down the centre of his head to the base of his skull; tentacles tendrils from the back of his head flow down to mid back. His nose is little more than a slit, and his eyes are large and without pupils. If he were to smile - a common occurrence - he would reveal rows of pointed teeth, but that is the only part that looks threatening. With his soft features and weak bone density, Casimir could hurt no one, and he wouldn't want to anyway, a firm pacifist.
Moonlight:
While Leth rules, Casimir takes a form that echoes the moon, pale opalescent skin and mystical beauty. He is tall, lean with a physique that reminds people of perfection. His hair changed colour with the season: in winter, a silver, in autumn, pale gold, in spring, silvery blue and in summer, black like rmagpie feathers. It is short and messy, with matching stubble, a rugged look of beauty. His eyes are a deep cobalt, reflecting the sea and the sky. His horns change colour with the season too, long and graceful, with the appearance of glossy glass. In winter, they are black, deep and hollow. In spring they turn white as snow and then in summer shift to the many shades of sea green found in the oceans. In autumn, they become yellow, slightly tarnished.

Concept
Casimir holds many of the common traits of a Charoda - peaceful, friendly and a scavenger. He does not call himself this, however. Instead, he is a collector, although what he collects is little more than trash to the everyday eye. Rusted rings, cracked shells, beauty once but no longer. They remind him of life, beautiful life that can crumble or change with the blink of an eye. He can live forever, but he knows many others can't and treasures their bright lives as if his own. Because of this, Casimir is a pacifist and a strict vegetarian, even unable to eat meat in one of his forms.
Casimir is also very friendly, with a smile on his face. Despite his distant expression, he wants to get involved with everyday lives, knowing he can never have a normal one himself. At times, he believes himself cursed, placed in Lhavit despite being a Charoda in his mortal form. Although he would never blame Leth, he thinks about the problem daily, either in annoyance, with fear or trying to figure out a better solution.

History
When Casimir fell from the sky, he landed in his true home: the ocean. Around him, the water held him, lapping around him. He drifted towards the city of Lhavit, but made no move towards it. At that moment, he was happy where he was.
Then the sunlight hit the water, dappled orange and reds spreading across the water. It was beautiful, breathtaking. And it changed him into his mortal form, opalescent skin turning the color of the water, turning smooth and rubbery. When he swam, when he tumbled and turned, he was made for water, not fighting it but simply gliding past. He found in this form, he could make the coral grow, shape them, so he spent the day with them, almost tending to the coral.
Then Leth's light hit the water again, changing him back. Suddenly, the water wasn't pleasant, but suffocating. He rose, pulling himself out of the waters gasping for air. The people took him in, dried him, fed him, clothed him. They told them of Lhavit and their lives and in return, asked about him. The Ethaefal called himself the name of their unborn child. He asked them of Charoda and they told him none could survive up here.
At once, he felt torn. The mountains were his home in this form, but the oceans his form in the other. If he tried to change that, he would die. So he learned to live a split life, as a scavenger and coral manipulator during the day, and at night, he would rise and talk with the people of Lhavit. He learned to watch the sun and moon so well, never wanting to make the fatal mistake of being trapped in the wrong place. And like that, he survived his first season, alive.
