[Diamonds are for status. The more, the merrier.]
‡ Beatmania IIDX
Name: K-Na -
l33thaxx0rStatus: Roommate / Best Friend
Diamonds: ♦♦♦♦
Thoughts:
K-Na was the first friend Caim ever made back in the days of Ares Arcanum. They came to Aegean Iterum together before it expanded and have stuck together ever since. It was at K-Na's recommendation that Caim carry a whiteboard.
While Caim will not outwardly admit it, he holds K-Na very close and would do anything to protect him. It can be stretched to a more affectionate or emotionally intimate feeling, but the chances of Caim showing that without outside interference are slim to none.
‡ D.Gray-man
Name: Allen Walker -
nolooking_backStatus: Acquaintance
Diamonds: ♦
Thoughts:
Caim met Allen during the first New Moon and the switching of his personality antics. Though he knows not what Allen is like outside of the event, he believes Allen has a good grasp on what to do with free time.
‡ D.Gray-man
Name: Yuu Kanda -
bloodthirstingStatus: Acquaintance
Diamonds: ♦
Thoughts:
Caim met Yuu during the first New Moon and the switching of his personality antics. Yuu is the only person in Aegean allowed to refer to him as 'Caim-kun'. Though Caim does not know Yuu outside of the event, he found a type of loyalty that is difficult to obtain. As a result, he finds Yuu would make either a formidable opponent or a supportive ally.
‡ Drakengard
Name: Arioch -
chaoticsolitudeStatus: Reluctantly Allied
Diamonds: ♦♦♦
Thoughts:
Arioch originally joined Caim on his journey through Drakengard to save his younger sister. If he could get past her teasing exterior over being intimate with his younger sister and the joy she takes in chiding him, he would prefer her companionship and with time could even consider her something more on an emotional level. For the time being, however, he would rather avoid contact with her, as long as his younger sibling is not in danger.
‡ Drakengard
Name: Furiae -
fate_unfoldedStatus: Familial / Beloved
Diamonds: ♦♦♦♦♦
Thoughts:
Caim came to Ares Arcanum and Aegean Iterum believing that his younger sister had committed suicide in Drakengard after confessing that the feelings she held for him were far beyond that of a sister for a brother. Caim considers Furiae one of the most important people in all worlds to him. He would do absolutely anything for her with little question or pause. Caim has outwardly admitted that he loves her in that impure fashion.
‡ Drakengard
Name: Inuart -
muted_elegyStatus: Familial / Rival
Diamonds: ♦♦♦
Thoughts:
Caim and Inuart began as best friends before the war between the Empire and the Union began. Inuart was to become his brother in both ideal and by law after marrying Furiae. Instead, Inuart discovered Furiae's feelings for Caim and was overcome with rage and jealousy. Since his arrival in Aegean, Caim's guard remains high. Though not expressed, Caim has every desire to take Inuart beneath his wing once more as his younger brother. Unable to admit this, however, he shows only a great amount of distaste for his former best friend.
‡ Final Fantasy IV
Name: Edward Geraldine; aka "Edge" -
getwithaprinceStatus: Friend
Diamonds: ♦♦♦♦
Thoughts:
In spite of his antics, Caim holds Edge in high regard. His ability to be upfront, open, and honest in all aspects has inspired Caim to make many of his decisions, including some that have increased his ability to make himself happy. Caim admires him to the point that he would gladly take up a sword and fight at his side. On the other hand, his admiration could go so far that he has a somewhat twisted perception of love for Edge.
‡ Final Fantasy XII
Name: Vayne Carudas Solidor -
vaynecsolidorStatus: Professor
Diamonds: ♦
Thoughts:
Vayne is the instructor of Caim's speech class. Caim appreciates the idea that Vayne seems to understand he is mute. In consequence, Caim relies heavily upon his written speech and others, such as Furiae, Inuart, Quistis, and Cassandra to properly convey his message. At times, however, Vayne has been known to press his buttons and cause him to grow dangerously close to assaulting him.
‡ Final Fantasy Tactics
Name: Zalbag Beoulve -
hokuten_devoutStatus: Friend
Diamonds: ♦♦♦♦
Thoughts:
Caim met Zalbag, along with Edward, in Ares Arcanum. When the apartment buildings they were staying in had fallen, he offered to them his room until the new apartments were reconstructed. He holds Zalbag almost in an older brother light, and speaks with him on things he normally would not with others. Due to events with regard to the personality change, the two were intimate, though Caim has chosen not to acknowledge this, and likely neither has Zalbag. It came a bit to light, however, that Caim held affection for Zalbag and has for quite some time. He has no plans to pursue him, and would prefer to see Edward and Zalbag together.
‡ Guilty Gear
Name: Bridget -
kawaii_yoyo_nunStatus: Acquaintance
Diamonds: ♦
Thoughts:
Bridget and Caim, like so many others, crossed paths in Ares Arcanum. If anything, it is more a one-sided friendship. Bridget puts all of the effort into trying to get to know Caim and Caim could honestly care less. He finds Bridget far too happy for his tastes and can hardly stomach his presence. He would rather stand aside and ignore him, though he knows if Furiae was watching, he knows better. In consequence, he's trying to be more polite.
‡ Kingdom Hearts
Name: Sora -
a_keytardStatus: Familial / Friend
Diamonds: ♦♦♦
Thoughts:
Sora has been known to come into Hotdog on a Stick for food. Caim was initially a frightening man. When Riku chose to openly ignore Sora, he went to Caim and asked him to beat him up. Afterward, Caim chose to take Sora metaphorically beneath his wing. He views Sora as a younger brother of sorts and strives to protect him as well as he can.
‡ Soul Calibur
Name: Cassandra Alexandra -
liek_uhohStatus: Lover / Friend
Diamonds: ♦♦♦♦♦
Thoughts:
Caim briefly saw Cassandra in Ares Arcanum, though they never officially crossed paths until they met in Aegean. In spite of her bubbly attitude and clutzy way of wandering about, her competitive spirit, and her decently dim-witted mentality, Caim admires her strength and her persistence. Before Furiae had arrived, Caim admitted that he was well on the way to falling in love with her. Though Furiae has always held his heart in the palm of her hand, he cannot deny that he holds emotional attachment to Cassandra. He considers her one of the most important people in the various worlds to him and would go to any length for her. She seems to hold his leash in her hand and can easily cause him to submit to her.
‡ Super Mario Brothers
Name: Peach -
superpeachhimeStatus: Friend
Diamonds: ♦♦♦♦
Thoughts:
Due to the events with the personality change caused the two to grow intimate with one another, something Caim hasn't quite forgiven himself for. He sees her as a potential younger sibling type and as a result is interested in redeeming himself and protecting her. He has absolutely no idea what she thinks of him, however, and to some extent, it makes him nervous.
