Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
So, given Worth is 6'5 and Ples is 6'4, and this image to compare them, Casimiro is most likely in the 6'2-6'4 range himself. He's pretty lanky, but considering his affinity for sports, it would be unsurprising if he had some degree of muscle definition to him.

2. How old is he?
Good question. Tessa (the creator) let slip he's been around for "a long, long time" and "centuries" both. So, at minimum, two hundred.

3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
He has the "I'm better than you" version of good posture.

4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
Well, he's dead, but as far as dead guys go he's pretty active! He does have a blind eye though, so his depth perception leaves something to be desired.

5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
I imagine he moves abruptly, with Italian hand gestures everywhere and a lot of pomp and circumstance.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
Depends on who you talk to. I'd give him an 8.5, but some people just don't like that hairstyle. He of course thinks he's off-the-charts hot.

7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
As a human he was pretty tan, as a vampire he's kind of grey.

8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
It's naturally brown, but he dyes half of it black. It's cut short and yet still manages to have a messy quality most of the time.

9. What color are his eyes?
His right one (with respect to him) is red, and the left is white, with a faint upside-down cross where the pupil should be.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
The hair gets a lot of comments, and the grey skin and white eye. Oh, and the little soul-patch.

11. What are his chief tension centers?
... His shoulders? Yes, let's go with that. He does do a lot of irritable shoulder-tensing, so.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
Clastard, the classy-bastard look. Dress shirts, ties, slope-lapel jackets all within his range, but so are black jeans and cleated boots. Given the change to head-canon in here, I imagine he'd be inclined to drivers caps and the colors brown, black, red, grey and white.

13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
They do, he does seem to care to some degree about his appearance (given the effort he gives to his hairstyle and wardrobe selection).

14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
Hah, what job. As far as we (the fandom) know he's just a full-time dick of a vampire. In Mayfield though, as a bartender, he just wears dress shirts, ties and slacks. Pretty much the same thing.

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
Boxers.

Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Tessa described Casimiro's voice to sound like Harvey Danger, this guy. So, moderately high. Most likely with a bit of sarcasm and satisfaction laced in.

2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?
Loud, boisterous, but smooth and smarmy when he wants to. He speaks without filters or any social buffer so most of what comes out of his mouth is offensive.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
Like a lot of casual speakers, he clips words occasionally (ex: doin', sayin' etc). He's from Italy, but he's lost his accent. I think, someone correct me on that if I'm wrong.

4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?
He speaks Italian and English as far as we know, both fluently.

5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
(Headcanon time) He'll only switch to Italian when he's talking to other Italians. Very rarely.

6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?
Oh he speaks on the fly like there's no tomorrow. If he had to sit down and think, it might just be disastrous.

7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
Somewhere in between. He can put up a pretense of eloquence, if that makes sense. Usually it changes when he's trying to smooth-talk his way into getting something he wants.

Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart?
Incredibly street-smart. Give him the name of your first pet and he'll find out your social security number. But hell if he knows (or cares) what a relative clause or hypothetical imperative is.

2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate?
He thinks on his feet, and he's quite good at it. Unless it backfires, and then he just gets irrationally angry.

3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
Extremely intuitive, and relatively idealistic. He has ridiculous expectations and very often tends to underestimate/overestimate things.

4. What kind of education has the character had?
(Headcanon time~) I imagine very little. The time-frame he (possibly) came from, his attitude, his uncanny con-artistry, all indicate he may have had little schooling.

5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about?
I would say he's good at cheating, but he's so often caught that maybe that's too generous. He's most likely good at soccer since he has an interest in it. And he's certainly a five-star bully. Apparently, according to Tessa, he'd consider being a curator so... ahah, Art?

6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert?
Extremely extrovert.

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
He mood swings like a pregnant woman, but he doesn't take offense to himself that easily. He's usually pretty happy, but in that mean sort of way. Apparently he's driven at getting back at Adelaide, for whatever the hell she did who knows.

8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
He... kicks people in the face. No, okay, that's only Conrad. But he's pretty enthusiastic, he jokes around (if violently) a lot and invites people to "friendly" card games.

9. Is he more likely to act, or to react?
Act.

10. Which is his default: fight or flight?
Fight, he loves it.

11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
He has a very rough sense of humor. He'll kick people in the face for laughs. Outside of that, most of it comes from bullying and sarcasm. He doesn't appreciate other peoples' jokes nearly as much, especially if he's in a bad mood. Might just make him angrier.

12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does he deal with them?
Is chauvinism considered a mental disorder these days?

13. What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person?
Whooo knows, so little character history to go off of.

14. What does he fear?
Who knows. Headcanon says he might get anxious if left alone for too long, since he's used to his constant companion, Finas.

15. What are his hopes or aspirations?
He sure hopes to find Adelaide, probably to satisfy a grudge. That boy's got a vengeance streak.

16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him?
If there is, he hasn't told us!

Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with his parents.
Who knows. Headcanon saaays it was probably not very good.

2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
If he did, they're all dead now!

3. Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand?
Nope. Hell he doesn't even have a canon last name. Even the guy who hasn't shown up in the comic yet has one.

4. Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them?
Finas times a million. Unrelated and from two different countries, but they're always together for some reason. Finas is very likely the only person Casimiro trusts.

5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
Finas. Good question, but he jokes they were "prison bitches". We're all pretty sure this is just a joke, but it makes for hilarious speculation.

6. Does he have other close friends?
Haha no.

7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people?
He couldn't make friends with one of those indie-bands on myspace. He's a lot to handle for anyone, who knows how Finas puts up with it.

8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends?
Finas?

9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once?
Single, and he's never married. (In Mayfield though, he's super-secretly dating Finas.)

10. Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
See above.

11. Who was his first crush? Who is his latest?
Don't know about a first crush, but see above, people.

12. What does he look for in a romantic partner?
Mostly? Looks. Personality's just a bonus. However, whoever it is, they have to counterbalance him somehow.

13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does he relate to them? If no, does he want any?
Nope. Pretty sure he'd never want any.

14. Does he have any rivals or enemies?
Oh I'm sure there's more than there are numbers. If not enemies then at least people he's gotten on the bad side of.

15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey scale?
Probably 1-2.

16. How does he feel about sex? How important is it to him?
He's a big hedonist so, he probably likes it when he gets it. I doubt it's that significant in his life though, considering how long he's been around.

17. What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
Hahaha, okay headcanon ahoy. Turn ons: good looks, rough sex, anything taboo, dirty talk and maybe some bondage thrown in there. Turn offs: Sappy romances, "intelligent" conversations, bitches, and garlic. And gingers, get out Hanna. As for weird habits, unless "loud and egotistical" counts...

Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type?
I doubt it's been given anywhere, but I'd stick him as ten kinds of Scorpio.

2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life?
Nope. Not important at all. Well, except that he's a vampire so he has to get a lot of Catholic/Cristian babble everywhere he goes.

3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
He has a very messed up sense of morality. He's probably never even heard of Kant. His version most likely sounds like this: Everyone better respect me by moral law, but like hell if I'm returning the favor. However he does pretend to be "civil" and "the better man", but we all know that's just BS.

4. How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
Most likely a little mixture of indifferent and intolerant, depending on the issue and how strong he feels about his opinion.

5. What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational or does he have a good reason for them?
He's got a thing against anything from the canine species (especially werewolves) but he doesn't really hate them. Just bullies.

Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
Oh who knows. Vampires have the time advantage so he could be filthy rich, but he has a gambling problem so he could be shacked up in a 300 sq ft apartment with Finas.

2. What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him?
Probably "who's that". I imagine he lived as a street rat and is now just a dead street-rat. Despite his extrovert-ism, he's kind of exclusive to the "underground" scene.

3. Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others?
Who knows, see the first answer though for some speculation. And he lives with Finas.

4. Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on?
He travels a lot, so probably that. And gambling.

5. What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else?
Who knows. In Mayfield, he's a bartender, and he's getting the hang of it (even if he drops bottles a lot trying to do flare).

6. What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time?
Interests: Picking on weaker people, playing card games / gambling, drinking (when he was human, now he just prefers humans who've had a drink), playing sports (soccer in particular), satisfying whims, and trying new things. He spends his free time doing any number of these.

7. What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
Blood. Preferably blood from someone who's had something to drink. When he was human he was partial to Chianti.
