1. what does your muse smell like? probably the most noticeable scent that cassian carries with him would be that of fresh rain on concrete as an undertone to his general cleanliness
2. what does your muse’s hands feel like? calloused. the skin on his hands is well worn and scarred from years of working in his field, there are numerous scars on his knuckles and palms, he has callouses against his fingers where one might usually rest a blaster. his hands are usually hidden beneath gloves/fingerless gloves more for the fact that cassian doesn’t always know what he’s going to get himself into when out on missions
3. what does your muse usually eat in a day? not a lot to be honest. he doesn’t generally spare the time needed to look after himself in a day - not much caring for the routine that it would give him. it’ll be because k2 reminds him that cassian even eats a single meal a day, his body having adjusted to taking on board little in the way of necessary calories. he usually will just eat whatever he has on hand which tends to be minimal military rations that the resistance supply him with for longer missions
4. does your muse have a good singing voice? he likely does have a very.. soft and melodic singing voice but really cassian never sings or really ever care to? he’s known to hum to himself quietly and does remember lullabies from when he was a child that he’ll whisper to himself sometimes just to fill the silence in when he’s working/when he’s alone
5. does your muse have any bad habits or nervous ticks? nothing that you’d notice at a glance, having trained himself out of them - however cassian does bite his nails and chew on the inside of his cheeks in an absent habit that he’s never quite shifted. a key sign that he’s on edge though would be if he’s continually checking the exits to a room/street or if he’s glancing behind himself regularly
6. what does your muse usually look like/wear? generally he’ll wear his uniform, i highly doubt that he owns many clothes beyond that unless he’s on an undercover mission and then he’ll dress in a way to fit in. if he’s wearing anything other than his uniform jacket/shirt - cassian’s dress sense is very functional and simple.
7. is your muse affectionate? how much? how so? not.... not really. it’s something he’s sort of trained himself out of wanting since he was younger. he’ll offer support in a hand on someone’s shoulder or he’ll give a hand on someone’s upper arm in a show of comfort but that’s really the extent of it unless you’re someone he’s genuinely close to and only then will you get the softer side of him. cassian is very much stilted in his social skills for anything other than getting close to people he needs to. if he drops that act he’s genuinely lacking in such a skill.
8. what position does your muse sleep in? on the rare occasion that he does actually sleep, generally he’ll sleep curled up in a tight ball with his back to a wall or in a corner if he can get into one. generally he’ll sleep in a position that leaves him as protected as possible if someone was going to sneak up on him. also he has to be wrapped up in at least three or four layers or he never gets into a deeper, more restful sleep
9. could you hear your muse in the hallway from another room? more often than not, no you wouldn’t be able to hear him. he’s spent give or take most of his life teaching himself to be a soldier and to be an intelligence officer. it’s more habit than anything to minimise the noise he makes if he can help it at all - though if you can hear him? then it’s because he’s letting you and you should either feel very afraid or very blessed tbh
