— FIRST IMPRESSIONS —

APPEARANCE Cid is in his early forties, standing at around 6'1 tall and has an average if not slightly built form. His hair is brown and kept short and out of the way. Cid's eyes are green and normally watching everything, ever, or ocassionally full of mischief. Should Cid's arms and hands ever be exposed or uncovered, his left hand and arm are showing signs of petrification. If he finds any, he'll also occasionally be found with a smoke in his mouth.

CLOTHING At this time Cid only has the military uniform provided to him upon arrival with the Judgement symbol adorning it. Later when he can wear what he wants, it'll be something darker coloured, close fitting and will definitely involve long sleeves and gloves.

DEMEANOR Cocky, assured, Cid's demeanor comes across as someone who knows what they're doing and has their shit together. He walks with confidence and keeps his head up for the most part, or when most people can see. Cid isn't one to wear his heart on his sleeve or to let his thoughts show on his face unless around those close to him. Those are the kinds of things that get someone killed. He's also no-nonsense in what he has to say if a point needs to be made, he won't pull punches. Otherwise Cid likes to tease, makes funny comments, has the ultimate dad jokes and will occasionally chest punch or back slap other people. No-one would ever think he is the dominant of Ramuh, an eikon of judgement, lightning and knowledge and that's just the way Cid likes it.

AURAL Despite the teasing and the dad jokes, Cid does have an aura of someone who's in charge or previously was. With how he talks he can easily command a room or allow people to approach him with ease. His energy could be described as tired dad wanting the best for everyone else but knows it's an absolute shit-fest really. There's also an undercurrent of Cid knowing more than he lets on at most times, or that he's just soaking up everything around him and storing the information away for later. In battle his energy is described as determined if not a bit reckless.

OLFACTORY Tobacco and soap. Sometimes the odd smell of ozone. Occasionally ink.

AUDITORY Low, gravelly, rumbly voice. Clip with no spoilers.

— SKILLS —

Cid's powers come from the fact he is the dominant of the eikon Ramuh. This means his powers are lightning based. He can either use his skills in his normal, human form, or he can change into two states; semi-primed and fully primed. Semi-primed means his skills and empowered, he will have an otherworldly hue to his appearance, lightning will course around him and his veins will also appear to be electrified. He can occasionally throw lightning bolts at this point too.

Being fully primed means turning fully into Ramuh, a large elder being with a vast beard, robes and a staff. Just like other primed eikons, Ramuh is large and will need a lot of space to be able to move freely. Here he is still Cid, and the skill set is even more powerful and enables him to use Judgement Bolt. These come with their own limitations. Using their powers will slowly turn the dominant to stone. The lesser powers are fine, but turning into the eikon Ramuh will cause it to spread from Cid's already damaged left arm. He has already been seen coughing up blood occasionally and often gets scolded for priming by the Hideaway's medic. He will not be turning into Ramuh unless he really has to.

Ramuh aside, Cid is adept with a blade and was previously military trained as Lord Commander. His skils as an engineer are also amazing as evidenced by being half responsible for the design of the Enterprise.

PILE DRIVE Drives his staff into the ground, electrifying all enemies within a radius of the strike. Can knock them off balance and does moderate damage.

THUNDERSTORM Calls forth a powerful thunderstorm that rains multiple bolts of lightning down upon a target for a few seconds.

LIGHTNING ROD Creates a ball of lightning that, upon being struck, chains lightning to other nearby enemies. Lasts a few minutes.

JUDGEMENT BOLT (Ramuh only) Summon from the heavens a mighty levinbolt that deals massive damage to a single target.
