Profile

Humble thank you to Ghost for being an idiot.

Name: Castor

Gender: Female

Age: Roughly 2500 years old, appears mid twenties.

Personality: She is a worrier, a thinker. A frown is usually present above her deep green eyes. If ever, she speaks softly and with a stutter, blush gracing her cheeks. Despite her shyness, she still is a happy person who usually gets away without speaking by just grinning at people, disarming them with her charm.
She lives for honour and will never do anything that might bring dishonour to her or her family/friends. She plays by the rules and is straight and fair in every situation. After thinking about it for a good while, of course.

History: Seeking protection from the chasing eagle, the swan dove down into the arms of the beautiful queen of Sparta. She held it close, sheltering it from attacking claws.
As a thank you, the swan raped her. Then the king of Gods left, content with yet another victory.
That night Leda lay with her husband to mask her shame. If she wanted to forget all about what had happened that day, luck seemed not to be on her side because as a reminder she bore two eggs.

From it hatched two children. From the first egg came Kastores, followed by Polydeuces. The second brought Clytemnestra and last came Helen.
The Spartan king was not pleased, to say the least. Of these four, only one was male. Although this meant he had three heirs, it also meant he could only raise one warrior. So Tyndareus made a drastic decision; the oldest child would officially be known as a boy and be raised as one. Those aware of the child’s true gender were silenced by bribes and threats.
Castor’s fate was sealed.

One day Castor and her brother carried out a cattle raid together with their cousins Idas and Lynceus. The latter two then tried to cheat Castor and Pollux out of their share of the cattle. The twins decided to take the cattle themselves but were caught as they started to sneak away. They got ambushed.

Castor was fatally wounded by a blow from the spear of Idas. Zeus saw what was happening and hurled down a thunderbolt which killed Idas, while Pollux managed to kill Lynceus.
Sitting next to his dying sister Pollux begged his father to give her the gift of immortality, so that they could stay together. Zeus refused. The desperate twin gave up his own immortality in reponse. The king of Gods yielded. He allowed them to spend one day as mortal souls in the realm of Hades and the next as Gods on Olympus.

To show the world of their love and friendship, Zeus placed part of them in the heavens, to always be together as the two brightest stars in the constellation of the twins.

Everything seemed right. The two were together and for all around them, it seemed enough. For Castor it was. Until she noticed that her brother was wilting away. Every day spend with the mortal souls made him die a bit more. A born god like him did not belong with the dead.

In a desperate attempt to save her little brother, she confronted the king of gods again. She begged him to reverse the gift and give Pollux the immortality he deserved. Zeus refused, saying that once the gift had been given he had no intention of taking it away.

Pollux did not want to see her go, though. He didn’t want his sister to live with Hades, not when there was another choice. For him it did not matter that he would become a fragment of who he was if this life continued. All he needed was to be with his sister. But then one day, she was gone.

Vanished without a trace and without a word.

She travelled to wherever the road took her, far away from Olympus and everything she ever loved. Away from Pollux. On the road she met others, made friends and lost them again. Until one day she met Agaue who promised to stay with her. Then they found Chryssa and for the first time Castor was able to feel as if she had family again. For the first time she could think of Pollux and smile.

Appearance: Castor is tall and has an athletic build. She has the proud stance of a Spartan warrior and, being Greek, has a natural tan. She has short, messy blonde hair that falls just over her green eyes. A grin is stuck on her face almost constantly.

Clothing wise, she wears a simple dark shirt and pants and leather boots. Over it a sturdy coat that goes down until her knees. It has no sleeves and when it is closed the collar will hide half her face. The coat itself is a dark blue and is lined with a blood red border. Her arms, up until her elbows, are bound in white cloth leaving only her fingertips exposed.

Relationships:
-Is like a younger sister to Agaue. She is closer to him than she is to any of her real siblings, save Pollux.

-Is like a mother to Chryssa. At least trying to be.

-Just found her best friend and (ex-?) husband again.

Comments

Kael says "Property? I certainly do not belong to this small thing." He blinked a few times, missing the meaning. "I have to argue, it is strange." He did respond with a slight grin though. "I sit around doing work all day, for anyone to find that interesting is unusual."

Kael says "..." Kael thought about that a moment as he stepped into the movement, putting an arm around her by habit. "I do not usually have company... It might be shy?" He offered, though he had no idea what the little pal thought. He was just used to it being there, climbing on him, rearranging his stuff, or demanding his attention somehow. "I still do not know why it decided to follow me around." He admitted with a blink. (("Pfft it's jealous now that the better snuggler has shown up." Shot. ))

Kael says He paused a moment, but knew that was the answer. There wasn't much of a reason to hide it, was there. "Yes." His shoulders fell ever so slightly as he relaxed a little. "I do not think I could, but it does not hurt to have a reminder to keep me company." He offered a slight smile. Mini-Castor didn't seem too happy about the contact though, and huffed as it tugged on his hair again.

Kael says "Not entirely. I did not expect to see you again, after all, and I had to call it something." He explained haltingly, eventually relenting and giving the tool back to mini-Castor. Content with that, it patted his hair back into place (or as close to it as it could manage) and sat about looking pleased with itself. "So I chose something I would not forget."

Kael says "Um." Though his look was as blank as ever, he was sure she could read the awkwardness in his posture. Would she be offended if he told her the truth? He hoped not. "Castor, this is... Well, um. Castor." He uttered awkwardly as the pal puffed out its chest proudly and tugged at his hair so to get its weapon back.

Kael says "Bothering me? Of course not. You should know as much by now." Kael smiled a little himself at that. "You are always welcome here." But apparently he wasn't the only one to decide things as he winced. It always had to use those little prongs to climb, didn't it, he thought darkly as the small masked mini-Castor climbed up the back of his jacket to pull on his hair and perch itself on the top of his head. "Yes, she is welcome, you shall have to share." He repeated and reached up to take the fork out of its hands, for it was waving it at Castor as if trying to say this was its spot.

Kael says Kael had moved into the hug mechanically, but now he blinked and tilted his head slightly with concern. "Is everything alright?" He asked, just in case. Sure, he had become a bit more tolerating of hugs since in Melania, but it didn't keep him from wondering if there were reasons for it. And if something bad were to be going on with her, well... His arms tightened ever so slightly. It wasn't like him to be protective, he thought with mild irritation, and promptly put a lid on those thoughts before they got away from him.

Kael says "Ah..." As he moved to return the gesture he realized he hadn't made many efforts to go see her since they had met again. "Yes, um, I am sorry. With old habits returning, I have hardly set foot out of my own home as of late..." He tried to explain, but, as usual, he just fumbled awkwardly. "I will be sure to stop by in the future." He decided with a determined look on his face.

Kael says "Oh no, it is nothing aside from the usual paperwork." Kael was relieved when he saw her, and he let his posture relax a little bit as he moved to the door to open it. "You are hardly ever a bother." He assured her with a nod of his head.

Kael says "Um. Come in?" Kael was more than a little surprised to get a visitor, and he could only guess it was someone from work showing up off schedule. Who else visited him? Well, Castor was here now, he remembered as he marked his place in his book and began to straighten up the table. He hoped it was her instead of someone from work.
