Swashbuckling Scaredy-Cat

Hello Poly,
It's good to be here. My name is August and this will be my first time rp-ing on the digital frontier. I'm big into roleplaying events such as Dagorhir or big reenactment-style airsoft events and so I'm really excited to be able to enjoy in-character adventures via the internet.

I will be bringing in Commissar Ciaphas Cain of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The good Commissar is a celebrated figure and war-hero of many theaters of battle but, despite the reputation he's manage to earn, he's a coward of epic proportions on the inside! Cain is used to putting on an act throughout every facet of his life and working very hard to be the "Hero of the Imperium" that people expect him to be. Being whisked away to a strange city with people from every corner of existence is going to be a major culture shock to Cain, who comes from a world where evil gods threaten mankind at every turn. As a resident of a deeply religious universe Cain is going to have his work cut out for him when it comes to settling in and not seeing alien spies in every shadow. Once he comes to terms with his predicament though people will get to know him a suave silver-tongued Lando Calrissian-alike.

While other characters won't know this Cain is a VERY complex character. Cain thinks of himself deep-down as a fraud and a coward. His guilty conscience constantly blinds him to his own heroic nature and stops him from recognizing the many valiant feats he's performed. Cain's imposter syndrome has led to him developing a mask of "the humble soldier" that he keeps on at all times. Only a couple people have ever seen through Cain's mask to glimpse the reluctant hero he could be.

Better make your peace with the God-Emperor because the best/worst Commissar in the universe has arrived. 8-)
