Personality + History
Personality: Cassius is a quiet and antisocial child, despite wanting to be social. Afraid of hurting others he cares about he purposely distances himself, not that he needed to try hard on that. He's lonely most of the time and despite purposely distancing himself he unfairly gets mad at others when they plan something and don't give him an invite. He always declines invites to anything out of not wanting to ruin them, but gets extremely happy when asked. His morals are very shaky as he nearly killed a classmate out of petty anger and still doesn't feel bad about it today.
History: Nebula (Real name Cassandra) Rhine was a girl gone too wild, in little Twin Bridges. To free herself from her strict parents she just did whatever in attempts to anger them. In high school she discovered 'Discordianism' it's supposed to be more of a joke religion, but the small sect in Montana took it very seriously, to the point where it was an cult. And of course young Nebula joined, first as another rebellion, but soon was brainwashed to believe and follow this cult's twisted version of events and became a devoted follower.
And that is how Eris came in, absolutely adoring her little followers and those who embrace the chaos, enjoying the particular cults that seemed to take it too far, like the one in Nebula's little home town. One day she decided to mess with her little followers and during a ritual she appeared. Still in High school, a 17 year old Nebula happened to be participating in said ritual and by luck of the draw she was chosen by their goddess. She came to them saying she was going to bestow a seed of chaos, a child that would grow to be the next ruler. All bullshit and Eris wanting to fuck with the mortals, but they ate up every word, Nebula in particular feeling honored to carry the child of her goddess.
When she ended up pregnant at 17 and dropping out of high school, her parents couldn't do anything but care for her, not having the heart to pick out their daughter. Rumors flew in the tiny town about who the father could be and 'wasn't she a lesbian?' but she ignored them all. Nine months later Cassius was born and Eris visited nearly a year later just to claim him and give Nebula some more bullshit for her to spend the rest of her life believing.
From there Cassius' life would take a turn. At age 7 his powers seemed to have awaken and unlucky things happened to and around him, though mostly to others around him. When he was in the vicinity, more often than not things just went south. So from a young age there was just too much stacked against him. His mother was crazy and got pregnant young and now her kid was weird and things happened around him. Any hope of having friends young were dashed away when parents told their kids to not be friends with the young boy.
He grew up in pseudo isolation receiving no love from anywhere; his mother didn't seem to see him as her son and more of a 'tool' given by Eris. While his grandparents were kind and always treated him nicely they were very strict and put him to work whenever he visited and seemed to compare him to his mother a lot. So he just kept everything in a little ball to himself. He threw himself into fiction to keep him sane, specifically cartoons. They were cute over exaggerated things that made him smile.
When he got into high school things only got worse. It was around that time that the snakes started to appear. Usually three adders seemed to follow him around, people killed them whenever they could. These venomous snakes were a danger...but snakes just kept coming. Cassius was unsure if they were they were different ones...or the same ones. But he didn't complain, why? After their appearance those monsters he saw from time to time never got near him. As if they were repellent. It was also high school when the other kids stopped ignoring him...and they now started bullying him. Well at first...
People who caught his attention through bullying found themselves getting hurt; falling down the school stairs and breaking a leg, getting hit in the face with a locker so hard the front teeth fell out, A dog coming out of nowhere and biting your leg, a swarms of bees attacking your lunch table. One girl nearly died, she was having a party and was inviting everyone in her school and had come up to Cassius with an envelope in hand. The small boy appeared happy, he was going to decline of course, but she was going to invite him! She held out the envelope, but before he could take it she snatched it away and laughed. Went off on a tirade about how Cassius was a freak and 'why would anyone invite him to anything?'. She walked away laughing and Cassius seethed in anger silently. Later after a day of having the worst luck; being late for every class, failing any test she took, lunch spilling on her clothes, having a big fight with her best friend and more, she was leaving school...and got hit by a car.
She was rushed to the hospital nearly dead, she was saved....but stuck in a wheelchair forever. Everyone in school was worried and sad for her, while Cassius sat satisfied by this turn of events. People started to tack that onto Cassius, he did that, he had to have done that. But how he wasn't anywhere near her? Now that they thought about it...everyone who had been mean to him seemed to get hurt. They started to avoid him more, thankfully bullying him much less. It was Cassius again, all alone. He wasn't sure if he liked this any better than the bullying. There were some that stuck around...a mix of people who were nice and people who were mean.
He has seen very little of the cult his mother is apart of, only having seen a few members that have come over, but she keeps talking about how things will change when he turns 18, that he's going to meet them all and even go to their location. He's unsure about it, but just listens to his mother.

Extras
- Cassius was a name given by his grandmother. Nebula kept saying she wanted something Greek to honor Eris and exasperated Gloria picked something close to Nebula's real name in hopes motherhood would make her 'normal'.
- Has had one boyfriend (Brendon) but he is abusive and controlling (in all aspects) towards Cassius. They've been sort of on and off for about 2 years now. When they come across Cassius they will have just gotten back together again. (Brendon is a son of another Cult member and anything he does to Cassius he says it's for the Cult)
- Everyone thinks Nebula fucking tattooed a fucking baby on the side of the neck.
- Has not given names to the Adders that seem to be everywhere he is. He mostly ignores them.
- Has a collection of party invitations that have been given to him, he carries them with him all the time and looks through them when feeling sad.
- Anyone who has given him an invitation has never had anything bad happen to them via Cassius' misfortune powers.
- Favorite cartoon atm is We Bare Bears because it's really cute, his favorite is Grizz.
- Connects with Maleficent from Beauty and the Beast on a spiritual level and legit thinks she had every right to curse Aurora.
