Ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌｉｔｙ
Cade has had many years of life and has changed drastically over those years. He is a very caring person though and always has been. Other people are most important to him, over himself, over glory, over any government. He will always pick the safety of those around him. There is very little that he wouldn't do, especially for children. He has become a fatherly figure for more than one child and so he has embraced that role. He takes to caring for others younger than him, which is more people than not. He will do anything from babysitting to planning and be perfectly fine with it. Given his situation, Cade has little resentment for being an avox. Especially against the family he works for. He cares about the Cranes as if they were his own children. He isn't one to complain, rather the type to suck it up and move on to more important things. And he has a lot he could complain about, from his every day struggles to the fact that he is an avox. But he doesn't bother, and he doesn't want to burden others with his troubles.
Cade has always been an intelligent man. Even from a young age he was considered smart and resourceful. He still is despite years of working as a servant of sorts. He was thoughtful enough to create and teach a form of sign language to use within the family. He's also a sneaky person, managing to hide rebellious activity for years. And also throw some nice surprise parties for the family. His strongest skills are planning and strategizing. When things need to be planned out and scheduled Cade is the one Seneca goes to. He almost requires a plan for most things. Especially the important activities. He is not too physically skilled anymore, fighting or heavy lifting are far in his past. But he is not opposed to violence, if it will protect those around him. Although he is the forgiving type. He gives second chances easily. And he is trusting enough, but not too much. Cade is honest, to those who can understand him or bother to pay attention. He's very expressive when he does have something important, he's stubborn, and he will make sure somebody pays attention.
Sᴛʀᴇɴɢᴛʜs➸
- Adaptable. He has been able to with Seneca and the family develop a form of sign language so that he can still communicate.
- Loyal. He follows through and he doesn't abandon people either. It's earned him a lot of trust.
- Assorted variety of allies. He is good at making people like him.
- Intelligence and planning skills. Bekng an excellent strategist and smart he is very useful to others. In every day life and rebel activity.
Wᴇᴀᴋɴᴇssᴇs➸
- Can't speak, has no tongue. Also most of the issues coming with a lack of tongue.
- His age. Although providing knowledge and understanding, there are health struggles included with being an avox of his age. As well as a general perception that he may be incapable.
- His family. Not necessarily a bad thing to have, but his attachment to them leaves him vulnerable. Threatening or harming them gets to him a lot worse than harming him.
Ｈｉｓｔｏｒｙ
Cade was born in a significantly different time. Having been alive as long as he has does provide some benefits and interesting insight. Watching the nation of Panem grow and change around him in such dark times was both intriguing and terrifying at the same time. Cade was born during or just before the dark days rebellion began. Four years before the first Hunger Games would be held. He was born in District Two, in a time when the profession of the district was only masonry. His father worked hard but definitely wasn't profitting well from it. His mother was sick although always kept a positive mood. Cade was still very young when his father abandoned his family to join the rebellion, and he wouldn't understand for many years why the man just never came home. He was a smart child, but not enough to understand. The man never returned, and Cade was hurt beyond his understanding then. The boy would never have a father in his life, and it would change everything.
Cade was too young when the first Hunger Games was held to understand what they were. But he knew his mother wouldn't speak about it. So the boy wouldn't speak about it. He was always copying his mother. When she smiled, he smiled. When she laughed he would giggle even if he didn't know what was funny. And if she cried, Cade would too. They were close as could be. And she knew that time was limited and spent every moment she could with the young boy. Taught him love and kindness, and to dislike war and violence. She tried hard to teach him to just go with how life was, to leave things be and be good and calm. But Cade loved attention and so the blending in strategy hardly worked for him. In his teenage years the rebuilding of Panem's military was in full effort. Moving the military to District Two was one of the biggest opportunities that came into Cade's life. It went completely against his mother's teaching, but the new recruitment rush in the district to fill the ranks was too good to pass up. Before the war it wasn't an option, and the lure of something new was so tempting he went for it anyways. And as one of the first classes of the District Two academy, they weren't quite ideal peacekeepers straight away.
Things were strict, the recently failed rebellion had the Capitol paranoid. There was no shortage of discussion of rebellion and Capitol tactics in that war, things that stayed within the wall of their mountain base but were intriguing for the young teenager. Physically he was okay, but it was in strategy and planning that he really excelled. It was enough that he was noticed quite often by instructors and higher ups. And the fact that he found some crucial holes in the security of the Capitol. He managed to catch the gaps and inefficiencies on his own, with a little snooping around, and presented solutions to those problems. In such a time of need, and as a young man showing the care and desire to improve things, he was moved up quickly in the classes. In fact he was given an early graduation for high intelligence, and the fact that they already had positions for him to fill. With Cade's drive to improve things, he didn't have to worry about if he would get in, he impressed the right people. Young Cade even as a rookie sat in on some meetings with the president of the time. He spoke up, but it was always useful information. He came close to trouble several times. Something about the Capitol government not liking a teenage Peacekeeper listing to them every way he could manage to break into the Capitol. He did fine though for several years, quickly advancing through the ranks.
He was in a command position by the age of twenty. He was a tactical genius as far as the Capitol was concerned, and skilled with their technology and systems. He had graduated at sixteen after all. He was a willing supporter of the Capitol for the most part. Was never assigned to a specific District, rather traveling and evaluating things as well as communicating things with District Peacekeepers. But when he got more clearance and more access he started to find things he hadn't previously known. Particularly about district Thirteen and it's true fate. The young man was curious, and initially reached out as a "Capitol supporter" to see just what information he could get. But the more he dug deeper and the more he saw, plus an already existing dislike for the Games, he started to truly believe his claims of supporting the still rebuilding Thirteen. He kept in contact with them as much as he could, sending information. And Cade was smart enough to cover his tracks.
It wasn't this that eventually got him caught. No it was a moment of stupidity that got him into big trouble. He was in one of the lower Districts and happened to be there to witness a young boy getting beaten by other Peacekeepers. Smart Cade would have ignored it, but he wasn't smart that day. He ran in to stop the other Peacekeeper, throwing his title around and making threats. Instead of stopping the beating, the other Peacekeeper only took it out on him instead. Beating Cade nearly unconscious before he stopped and returned to the child. The young boy still died, and 23 year old Cade woke up imprisoned himself. For standing up against the the Capitol, it was taken as an act of rebellion. He found himself in the Capitol again, but not in the face of the President offering ideas. No he found himself without a tongue, without his title, and stuck working as a personal servant.
The young man was assigned to work for the Crane family from near the beginning. A wealthy and established Capitol family, he was given to them as a servant for all of their needs. The young man resented them for many years. He did the minimal work, and still managed to sneak communication to Thirteen although less frequently, behind their backs. He moved on to serve the daughter of the family when she got married, and wasn't as angry by that point. He doesn't hold too much of a grudge. Although he hates the Capitol, he couldn't hate the family entirely. It was when the baby came along that Cade started to come around though. he was already near forty years old when a young Seneca Crane was born. With how busy and social the parents were, Cade was left to take care of the baby more often than not. No matter how hard the parents tried to prevent it, the child was close to him. Looked up to Cade as a father even when his own father was around. They played, they enjoyed time together. It was the son Cade had never known he had wanted. For the first time in years he was happy with himself, and it was for taking care of the innocent child and teaching him a bit more respect in the world. He and the young boy together developed a sign language to communicate better, and they were near inseparable.
Cade was angered once more when Seneca's father left him. The hurt he could see in the boy and his mother was enough to break Cade's heart. More than ever he stepped into Seneca's life. For years it was just Cade and Seneca really, even neglect from Seneca's mother pushed the two closer. As soon as young Seneca was old enough, and had determined his own life goals toward being a Gamemaker, Seneca moved out. The young man claimed ownership of the avox Cade and took him with him to help take care of the home. Cade lived with Seneca and Atticus quite happily. He had more freedom than ever. Seneca was respectful and treated him like a father. Spoke to him. He wasn't just the avox help unless guests were over. When Seneca was handed a newborn child without a clue how to raise him, Cade stepped up to help and serve as a grandfather for the baby. He took care of the family, they were an odd group but they were his family.
The first year that Seneca got Head Gamemaker it was Cade that congratulated him like a proud father. The acknowledged the accomplishment. And it was also Cade that the two Gamemakers had gone to when their plans to save a tribute had failed. It was Cade who told Seneca and Atticus about District Thirteen and the rebellion. And he took them to go see Thirteen themselves that year. He sponsored them into the trust of the rebels. After having been carefully sneaking away to visit Thirteen for years they trusted him and so allowed the two Gamemakers despite the obvious arguments against it, to join them. Cade was a tactical adviser and if he saw benefit to them, then they trusted him. He's since stayed with Seneca and Lucius in the Capitol while making secret trips out there. Seneca allows it, and joins him once a year. Cade treats Lucius like his grandson, and he would do anything for the family. It's been long years, and his health may be deteriorating, but thanks to Seneca he is still healthy as of now.
