character information
● name: Casssian Andor
● canon: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
● canon point: right before his death
● age: 26
● (canon) background: on the wiki!
● abilities: Cassian is a soldier and a spy and comes with the skillset needed to do both jobs well in an intergalactic war. He’s a skilled sniper and marksman as well as being combat trained. His technology skills are high enough to reprogram an imperial droid and turn him into his One True Ally. He’s also an excellent pilot (the space ship kind).
In not so nice skills, Cassian is also a well trained assassin and saboteur, with a captaincy rank as an intelligence officer. He’s a very good spy, quick to blend with a crowd and people watch. His observation is smart and concise, at least when it comes to his surroundings, and he’s very analytical. He’s good with his words, able to speak exactly how he needs to depending on what the mission asks; his ability to get a good read on a person lets him figure out the best way to approach them, aka great job manipulating captain. He’s just a regular old human though with zero superpowers, prone to all the same weaknesses humans are.
● strengths:
resilience: Physically, mentally, etc. Cassian’s stamina to continue on is enormous. He’s been fighting in the galaxy since he was six, which makes him very tired but very stubborn. He refuses to give up, whether it’s on a person or on a mission for the Rebellion. He literally fell off a tower, probably broke several bones in his body, then proceeded to climb back up the tower because the mission wasn’t over and he was still alive. He’s fairly cool and collected in the face of emotional and/or physical duress.
perception: Cassian's ability to read a situation is uncanny. He's analytical and logical, quick to understand situations and people in front of him. It allows him to make snap decisions and to deviate successfully off an initial plan. While on Jedha, he notices a subtle tension in the air and recognizes Partisan movement in the crowds that gives him a warning about the battle that's about to come and he immediately alters his plans.
hope: Cassian is pretty cynical, but he believes in the Rebellion wholeheartedly and is originator of the infamous "Rebellions are built on hope" line. After he meets Jyn, he even starts to have a little more personal hope too. Her inspiration enables him to start making better life choices for himself, not just the Rebellion, and it's because he remembers how to Truly Believe in things again.
● weaknesses:
guilt complex: The amount of guilt Cassian feels is comparable to Jupiter. His sense of self worth is tremendously low because everything he’s done for the Rebellion is so terrible and weighs heavily on his shoulders. Instead of processing any of it, he just shoves it down like a completely healthy person. To keep going, he doesn’t like to deal with his own mental exhaustion and would rather just believe the worst of himself. Spies do the dirty work, but it kills him to do it.
loyalty: You might think loyalty is generally a good thing, but Cassian can be and is often loyal to a fault. He’s so dedicated to the Rebellion that he essentially destroys himself from the inside out, all under the guise of doing the right thing and following even the most awful orders. His loyalty to Jyn, and the rest of the Rogue One crew, leads him/them on an unsanctioned mission that eventually leads to his death, despite the successful part of stealing the plans. His loyalty is self-sabotaging.
trauma: "I have been in this fight since I was six years old." Cassian was a child soldier and he is now 26. Two decades of his short life have been spent fighting a never ending war in the galaxy, and it's come at a high personal cost. His emotional competence is poor, and his only friend at the start of the movie is a droid he programmed himself. He doesn't trust easily and he doesn't want to, because hypercompetence as a spy leaves little room for a real life outside of Rebellion.
● job skills: technologically competent, data analysis, combat trained
● housing: a higher level floor please, an unoccupied shared room if possible!
● network username: default is fine!
● network sample: link one
● prose/action sample: link two which may look very familiar but also: any thread after their death would be considered an au thanks canon, but it's canonverse and how cassian would continue to think and feel had he lived, which would be similar to him in riverview! another sample can be provided if needed c:
