Why do they have their resources? How long have they had them, and how have they served the character over time?
Cash is able to live the way he lives mostly because of his parent’s wealth. As a child, he lived more than comfortably and really could have anything he wanted – within reason, that is. Even though he has been ultra successful and therefore has accrued a lot of profits because of his singing career, he lives even more luxuriously because of the wealth he has from his parents. While they obviously don’t give him money anymore, they saved up an entire college education worth of money for him, and then when he only used one year, he got to keep the rest. Cash has expensive tastes, probably thanks to this.
Cash didn’t really even know he could sing until he was about 11. When he found out, he never shut up. The writing came first, though. He had always been a stellar English student and he loved reading, so writing was naturally something else he fell in love with. He has never been trained professionally as a singer or attended a single lesson, but his raw talent is what makes his voice so special.
If they have an income, where does it come from?
His singing career, but if Cash didn’t have the success he did, he’d still be well off thanks to his parents. They’re fairly wealthy.
Do they have a job? Do they like it? How do they feel about their co-workers?
His job is his dream job, so that’s kind of the greatest thing ever. He loves it, every part of it, even the stuff everyone else hates about “fame”. He embraces all of it fully because he’s so grateful to be able to make music for people. He doesn’t necessarily have co-workers, but his team is amazing because they give him freedom to be artistic and bold but they also help him make the best decisions so he can make music for as long as possible.
How do they usually dress? What do they wear to sleep? Do they wear jewelry?
Cash is an extremely casual yet fashionable dresser. He never wears blue jeans, only grey or black, and loves a good pair of black boots. He’s also a fan of sneakers with joggers and hoodies. He’ll try any trend. To bed, Cash wears nothing usually. He loves rings and wears them every day, and usually wears a necklace and bracelet or two.
Is there anything about their appearance they wish they could change?
Not really. Cash is extremely happy with his physical appearance for obvious reasons. Look at him.
How would they look as the opposite sex?
People tell Cash all the time that he would make a pretty girl. Family members, friends, girlfriends, makeup artists, EVERYONE. So, he’d probably look pretty good.
What do they smell like? Why (do they wear the scent or does it occur naturally)?
Well, when wearing his signature cologne, Cash smells like Guilty by Gucci. Usually he also smells like cigarettes and/or weed.
Do they have an accurate mental picture of their appearance (how they see themselves versus how the world sees them)?
Cash definitely doesn’t have any negative views in this regard. If anything, he sees himself as MORE attractive than others see him, but confidence is key.
What are some of your character’s hobbies? What do they do with their time?
Cash obviously loves music, so when he’s not recording his own, he’s trying to learn as much as possible about producing and writing and mixing. He wants to be able to do it all when it comes to recording and making music, and he’s well on his way to learning because essentially all he does in his spare time is mess around in a studio. However, he also enjoys creative writing, watching movies, and learning about new things on the Internet. He also loves to read.
Favorite color?
Cash’s favorite color is navy blue.
Favorite music artists? Movies or TV shows? Books or authors?

His top 5 favorite artists are Michael Jackson, Tupac, Bob Marley, Future, and John Lennon. His current three favorites are Bryson Tiller, Kehlani, and Kanye.
His all time favorite movie is Fight Club, but he also loves Deadpool since seeing it. His favorite TV show is Family Guy; he’s not much of a TV watcher.
Cash loves books. A rarely known fact about him is that he studied English for a year at University of Nevada before moving to Los Angeles. His all-time favorite books are Gone with the Wind and Moby Dick. His favorite authors are Charles Bukowski and Shakespeare. As a big Shakespeare fan, his favorite work by the bard is The Taming of the Shrew.
Political stance? Are they active in politics or do they not care?
Cash does not publicly get involved in politics as he doesn’t work incredibly hard to inform himself and therefore just keeps this to himself.
What are some of their pet peeves?
Cash cannot stand people who are kind to someone who can help them, like a producer or director, and are rude to someone who can’t necessarily help them, such as a waiter or a driver. Ungrateful people really bother him, because he never takes his lifestyle for granted. His other pet peeves are loud chewing, something he got from his father, and slow typers.
What sort of gifts do they like?
Something Cash never lies about is how much he loves receiving gifts. It sounds selfish, and it mostly is, but he really does enjoy seeing what people pick out for him as a gift. Since he has such a luxurious lifestyle, he’s naturally used to receiving pretty lavish gifts, even as a child. He might be a little spoiled.
What is their favorite time of day? Favorite weather? Season?
His favorite time of day is the evening, favorite weather is sunny and warm, and favorite season is summer.
Where do they like to spend their time?
Most of Cash’s time is spent working on his music, which means he’s usually in the studio, in rehearsals, or in meetings. He loves spending his time this way because it’s truly his dream job. When he’s not working, he usually just stays in bed or swims in his pool. In terms of vacationing, Cash would go to Paris every day if he could.
Favorite food? Favorite drink? Hot drinks, soft drinks, or alcohol?
Cash’s all time favorite food is aloo gohst, which is a Pakistani curry dish with potatoes in it. His mother makes it the BEST.

What relaxes them?
Anyone who knows Cash knows he really, really loves weed. A lot. This relaxes him more than anything and is pretty much what he always uses.

Tons. Cash was addicted to cocaine for a while and still struggled with relapses, so that’s his worst habit. He’s also a pretty big hypocrite.
