BACKGROUND.•   birthplace   :   Philos
•   current residence   :   Ireland
•   significant other   :   Takayama Shihao
•   Affiliation   :   Onychinus and Crimson Reaverstraits❝ + ATTRIBUTES : Despite being as a hunter, Cassidy Alistair finds herself enjoying the idea of creating weapon, making her quite a perfectionist to bring her idea to come to life. Cassidy is also known among her friends for her naggy yet attentive nature. She had a sharp eye for detail and a perfectionist streak that often led her to critique others relentlessly. However, beneath her nagging exterior lay a heart of gold — always ready to lend a helping hand or offer guidance to those in need. Her attentiveness to her friends' well-being and success was unwavering, making her a trusted confidante and ally.For her eating preferences, Cassidy indulged in her love for sweets, savoring every bite of decadent desserts that brought a smile to her face. She found solace in the simple pleasure of a sweet treat. Despite her fondness for sweets, there is one thing that holds an even greater place in Cassidy's heart, and that is money. She takes great pleasure in striking advantageous deals that enable her to obtain sumn of money. And just like any other person, Cassidy could also be quite clumsy.

ABILITIES & LIMITATIONS.

As a former member of The Lightseeker, Cassidy had honed her combat skills under their guidance and teachings, making her quite agile in using swords as her main weapon. In addition to her mastery of the sword, Cassidy also displayed proficiency in the use of firearms. With a keen eye and steady hand, she could wield guns with deadly accuracy, adding a versatile dimension to her combat abilities.In addition to her expertise in swordsmanship and marksmanship, Cassidy also possessed a Core Manipulation evol —— however, the full extent of this power remained a mystery to her as well as the true name for the core planted within her. At present timeline, she had only begun to grasp that it allowed her to control and manipulate fire at will, a gift that both fascinated and frightened her.This internal conflict stemmed from her awareness that this power had been forcibly bestowed upon her. And embracing this ability would signify her acknowledgment of being a survivor of an experimental project that fused a protocore into a human being —— a reality she was not yet ready to face.However, as her journey unfolded, Cassidy came to a crucial realization: she could no longer rely solely on her physical prowess, especially when she now has someone precious to protect. The weight of responsibility pressed upon her, urging her to explore the depths of her abilities. Gradually, at her own pace, she began to experiment with this newfound power. Each flicker of flame that danced at her fingertips felt both exhilarating and unfamiliar yet the flames that once represented a burden began to transform into a tool for protection and strength.

▍ ❝   LIMITATION.

The true extent of Cassidy's power remains a foreign concept to her. Among the myriad possibilities that her Core Manipulation could offer, she has only begun to explore Element Manipulation —— the fire ones. This ability is also influenced by her environment and the company she keeps at any given time. Thus, Cassidy prefers to engage in combat using weapons or hand-to-hand techniques rather than relying on additional source of power planted within her. However, she remains open to the possibility of developing her magical skills in the future.However, due to the instability of the aether core within Cassidy, every time she utilized her innate power of Core Manipulation, she risked undergoing a transformation into a Wanderer—a creature that resembled a monster or alien. The more frequently and intensely she tapped into this power, the faster the transition process would accelerate. Conversely, if she refrained from using her abilities, the ongoing transformation would gradually revert to its original state.Currently, she was beginning to experience concerning symptoms: her hair was falling out in clumps, bruises that should have faded lingered longer than they should, and her nails were starting to darken, taking on an unsettling hue. Each of these signs served as a stark reminder of the toll that her powers were taking on her body and mind.

Core Manipulation refers to the ability to harness and control the core energy that exists within every living being and even the inanimate elements of the world. The "Core" is an intrinsic essence—akin to a life force, spiritual energy, or Chi—that binds the existence of all things.Cassidy’s ability draws its origins from something far deeper and more fundamental than she currently realizes. At its essence, Core Manipulation allows her to tap into the "core" of energy within matter or entities—elements of creation and existence themselves. However, because she hasn't fully explored or unlocked its depths, Cassidy’s abilities are currently focused solely on fire manipulation, as fire is one of the most reactive and expressive manifestations of energy

▍ ❝   CURRENT ABILITIES.

❝ Ignition and Flame Generation. Cassidy can create fire spontaneously without needing an external source. Her flames are pulled from the energy around her or within herself, allowing her to generate bursts of fire at will—sometimes flaring up uncontrollably when her emotions are heightened.❝ Shape and Control Flames With focus, Cassidy can shape the flames she creates, though her constructs are mostly crude and fleeting at this stage.
She can manipulate how far the fire spreads, intensifying it into roaring infernos or taming it to precise streams. examples applications:
• Creating fiery whips, tendrils, or sharp bursts to strike foes at a distance.
• Forming a defensive circle of fire that deters enemies from approaching.
• Channeling controlled streams of fire to “carve” through solid barriers like wood or weaker metals.❝ Thermal Control (Limited). Cassidy has begun to unconsciously manipulate the temperature around her within a short range, heating up or cooling down the air with small adjustments.
This ability tends to accompany her fire creation, sometimes causing bursts of heat waves that radiate from her body.❝ Core Resonance. With this power, Cassidy can connect her core with others to synchronize energies. This can strengthen bonds, improve teamwork, or temporarily borrow abilities. However, one must possess a good connection or bond in order for them to resonant. And mostly done in subconscious level.❝ Emotional Synergy. Cassidy’s flames are strongly tied to her emotions, growing wilder or colder depending on her mental and emotional state. Anger or desperation amplifies her fire, increasing its destructive power but reducing her precision and control.❝ Enhanced Endurance to Heat and Fire. Cassidy cannot be burned by her own flames or most external sources of fire/heat. Her body adjusts to accommodate the heat output she generates, allowing her to walk through infernos unscathed.

▍ ❝   POTENTIAL ABILITIES.

Cassidy’s potential abilities, rooted in Core Manipulation, extend beyond her current fire manipulation. They tie deeply to the concept of controlling, creating, disrupting, and harnessing the "core essence" of energy, matter, or even life.

❝ Deeper Elemental Manipulation and Diversification. Fire may only be one "manifestation" of her ability. The core of elements like water, earth, or air could theoretically be within her reach, but Cassidy hasn’t discovered how to tap into them yet. However, subconsciously, droplets of water has started to flow into her direction or freeze depending on the weather she at. Cassidy could also explore control over other elemental manifestations by altering how she channels that energy.❝ Energy Core Manipulation. Cassidy’s latent abilities connect to the "core" energy within objects, allowing her to manipulate their foundations. With time, practice, or discovery, these abilities could expand exponentially.Abilities she may develop:• Core Disruption: Interfering with the core of objects, causing them to destabilize and collapse. Examples include making weapons brittle or rendering machinery useless.• Core Absorption: Drawing the core energy from objects, plants, or other materials to replenish her strength or amplify her power temporarily.• Core Shielding: Creating barriers by solidifying energy from cores around her, forming shields of concentrated energy that protect her.• Core Perception: Developing the ability to "see" the cores of objects and beings—knowing their nature, weak points, or even their energy flow. This could create internal energy disruptions (e.g., temporarily disorienting an opponent’s energy flow), paralyzing their limbs in a short period of time.

weakness
.

Core Manipulation, while immensely powerful, comes with several inherent weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

❝ Emotional Instability. Core energy is heavily tied to emotions. Negative emotions such as anger, fear, or despair can destabilize Cassidy's control on the power, causing unpredictable outbursts or even harmful to herself and others.❝ Core Exhaustion. Using core energy depletes the Cassidy's reserves. Overusing or pushing beyond one's limits can result in severe physical and mental exhaustion, leaving Cassidy vulnerable.❝ External Disruption. Certain substances, technologies, or magic can disrupt or suppress core energy.For example:• Anti-Core Materials: Substances like Orichalcum or other rare metals may interfere with the flow of core energy.• Seals and Barriers: Magical or technological seals can block or drain Cassidy's core, rendering her powerless.❝ Dependence on Surrounding Energy. Cassidy’s abilities rely on the presence of life or energy cores. In barren areas with no vitality (e.g., deserts or magically dead zones), her powers are significantly weakened.

During this timeline, the limitation of Cassidy's power will be the same as the main timeline. Refer to Limitation.

* refers to Chi Manipulation for the credit idea of this power as it is an alternate name and more elaborated from the existing power.

MORS OMNIA (ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE) .

▍ ❝   Disclaimer
This story takes place in the Mors Omnia Universe —an alternative universe from the main ones where Cassidy resides on Earth.

In the vast expanse of creation, the multiverse exists as an infinite tapestry of worlds—made from the fabric of endless possibilities. For every choice made, for every life lived, countless realities branch off; shaping realms so similar yet infinitely different.

Running away from Philos, Cassidy carried with her the scars of being an unwilling subject in a catastrophic experiment. The goal had been ambitious: to fuse a human with a Protocore, a revolutionary yet volatile energy source that had the potential to save their crumbling world. Cassidy emerged as both a survivor and a product of that desperation. Out of anger she then decided to abandon her planet and plunge into the past of what Philos once was: Earth.Cassidy’s journey back wasn’t perfect. She emerged into a timeline of Earth’s past where Philos was only beginning its ascent, unknown by any other name. Humans called it Earth, untouched by the turmoil she knew from her own time. It was simpler, alive, and so unlike the ruins she fled from.Arriving anonymously, Cassidy carved out a life of her choosing. For the first time, she wasn’t part of a grand program or a system clinging desperately to existence. Instead, she blended into a world she had no right to inhabit, fashioning herself as a hunter. A profession driven by her passions, it was one that gave her freedom to wander vast, untouched wildernesses. The rawness of the Earth’s environment intoxicated her—a fleeting luxury before collapse. This time, she wasn't an object, carried out a task to be sacrificed to her own planet but she was her own. And that's what matters for her.

Unbeknownst to Cassidy, her flight from Philos was just a single ripple in an ocean of branching timelines. In a multiverse defined by infinite variations, there were countless Cassidys, each shaped by choices similar or divergent to her own. And here will be her story, living out in the universe of Earth-Mors.For a time, Cassidy thrived. She built friendships, wandered freely, and even let herself grow attached to this timeline—a gift she never thought she’d allow herself. The lush forests, shimmering rivers, and endless skies of this Earth were untouched by the decay she’d left behind. She allowed herself to hope that this place might succeed where Philos had failed.However, traces of instability began to surface. What initially seemed like minor tremors or unpredictable weather spiraled into something else entirely: blighted fields, cracks forming in cities seemingly without cause, animals acting unnaturally. Earth was unweaving in ways Cassidy recognized too well. This time too, Earth shall crumble to its destruction, forcing everyone who survive to work together as one under the command of UEF (United Earth Federation).
