IC CHARACTERISTICS
CURRENT CANON POINT: After all the Red Legion stuff from D2 and before the events of the Forsaken expansion

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
While maybe not quite imposing, Cayde-6 is definitely a unique presence, or at least, he'd like to think so. Robotic by first look, a closer study will make it apparent that the Exo is quite advanced, even if all that can really be seen to confirm such is his face. Metallic blue and silver plates make up the planes of his countenance, a blue stylized horn jutting out from the worn white plating of his forehead. His optics glow a bright blue, a contrast to the amber backlighting seen within his mouth whenever he speaks.

The Exo is dressed ruggedly in light armor that seems a combination of leathers and a few metal pieces bracing gauntlets and bolstering his boots. Overall his attire's made up of variations of brown and tans, yellow paint scarred with silver along the edges of his leg armor. The sturdy pair of chaps he wears over his pants (that on occasion he might even claim to be lucky) are decorated with a white criss-crossing of stitches on either side. Thrust on the right side of his belt is his hunter's knife in its sheath.

A small white spade is painted on the front of each dark pauldron adorning his shoulders, and a smattering of diamond outlines decorate the cuffs of his gloves. Over his head, Cayde wears the trademark of all Hunter Guardians of his world; a dark brown, worn-out looking hood with faded red-orange markings on either side and down the tattered length that falls down his back beyond the twisted ring of a scarf that sits snugly around his neck.

DEMEANOR: Easygoing and quirky, cocky, adventurous and daring

ABILITIES:
*Guardian: Chosen and blessed by the Light of the Traveler, reborn to protect people from the corrupt forces of the Darkness and beyond. They are not indestructible, but so long as they have their Ghost, they are virtually immortal, capable of resurrecting from death so long as the Light remains. Unfortunately the same does not apply for the Ghost, being the weaker vessel of the pair. A Guardian can only be healed or revived so long as their Ghost is functional and within close proximity.

Hunter: Proficient in both ranged and melee weapons. Cayde can use a variety of firearms, and although the only obvious melee weapon on him is a knife, it's not to be easily dismissed. Good Hunters can dispatch enemies with a knife with just as much efficiency as a gun. Their skills are superhuman, capable of leaping farther, running longer and even ghost-stepping (blinking) briefly through targets and spaces.

Exo: As an Exo, Cayde's body is robotic, although even Exos do not know nor understand how their own inner workings function. All such knowledge has been lost with the Golden Age's Collapse. It seems only fair to assume that he can hit a little harder and take more physical stress than a body of flesh and blood, at the very least. Not having to worry about breathing in space is nice too.

Golden Gun: By making use of solar elemental energy, Cayde can also use what's called the Golden Gun, which engulfs him in and his weapon in gold flames and super charges his gun, allowing him to fire off high-powered blasts, although for only a brief span of time, usually good enough for three to six shots. But sometimes one shot is all it takes.

Blade Barrage: Part of a Gunslinger's knife-wielding repertoire. Similar to when using the Golden Gun, instead of channeling solar energy into gun shots, it's instead transferred into throwing knives, making for six deadly projectiles that can be flung in multiple directions, if only all at once.

*Currently Cayde is without Sundance, his Ghost, so Guardian immortality and healing/repair will be inaccessible for the time being.

MEDICAL INFORMATION: Functional and in one piece!
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: I...can't think of any
OTHER: N/A

IC PERMISSIONS
MENTAL: Not sure how that'd go with an Exo mind, but go for it!
MIMICRY: Given the amount of unknowns with an Exo's make up and the Traveler's blessing I'd say mimicry can only go skin deep.
VIOLENCE: Oh bring it. I'm open to all outcomes short of death (until he gets his Ghost anyway)
MAGIC: Go for it
DEBATE: Sure, but he might not take it seriously or abort after a while. He's more of a doer sorta person.
OTHER / NOTES: Nothing that comes to mind at the moment!
