these copy cats are getting - getting F E R A L now ; we're building sandcastles out from their ashes now. maybe, maybe i'm TIRED ; maybe, maybe i'm tired... show me, show me your V I O L E N C E , while i'm dipping my toes in the silence... "caspar, shut the fuck up!" caspar von bergliez. casper beckham ; 23, short king, janitor & waiter.
Linhardt lets his bag slide off his shoulder as he walks through the door, setting it down on the counter before he catches sight of Caspar. Linhardt may not be known for their speed but they’re at Caspar’s side in an instant. Linhardt carefully reaches out to touch to touch Caspar’s face, looking him over with concern in his eyes. “I don’t care about the other guy,” Linhardt sighs, though he does smile ever so slightly at the thought of Caspar’s victory. It helps that black eye and split lip aside Caspar does appear to be fine “You need to take care of yourself, you know. I can’t heal you like in the old world.”
— CASPAR ALMOST LETS OUT A HUFF , puffing out his chest to look tough and mighty and ‘Ho-ho-ho, I can take anything, o significant other - have no fear!’ But of course he knows that no matter how tough he THINKS HE LOOKS . . . that won’t settle Lin’s worry. Especially given that things are different. ❝ I take care of myself !! I can take care of both of us - like , like , I know where the bandaids are !! I know how to unwrap one and put one on !! ❞ Because that is of course what they mean - but Caspar thinks it’s a help. But he finds himself almost leaning into Lin’s touch , despite the obvious pout. ❝ It sucks you can’t just wave your hands in a magic little motion n’ cease all my troubles. It was sick when you could do that - I think I took it for granted . . . ❞
Working at Tiki’s, Renata was honestly pretty trying to stop brawls or seeing the aftermath of them. They seemed to happen far too often and she honestly wished people could sort out their issues with words. That’s why she couldn’t help but frown at the sight before her. “That doesn’t look too good…” A soft sigh left her, thinking about how much worse the other person must’ve looked then, assuming what he said was true of course. “What were you guys fighting about?” It was none of her business and she probably shouldn’t have butted in, but she had a bad, seemingly unbreakable habit of getting too involved in the lives of others.
— ❝ WELL , I GUESS . . . ❞ He shrugged ; he didn’t have a mirror or anything to look into , just the warped reflections in metals & cars as he made his way to where he was sitting now. He didn’t know HOW bad it looked , but supposedly , it was enough to garner some wandering eyes. But it wasn’t essentially that Casper cared - these were battle scares , well-earned badges of him doing what he thought was right. Even . . . Even in case like . . . ❝ He . . . uh . . . he pissed me off. ❞ Because he called him short. But Casper wasn’t gonna clarify that , now that it sounded DUMB.
“Are you the definition of cruisin’ for a bruisin’ ?” he wondered out loud. “Don’t use ice, you can cause more damage.” Ren wondered what had led to this, not that he doubted there wasn’t a good enough reason. Knowing the feeling of getting lost to the notions of a fight when something fires the emotions he could understand. “Did he? I suppose if you look like this, but they look even worst then it must be very deserved.” Musing on whether anyone deserved to be ruffed up, or not wasn’t the point but maybe as a reason then.
— ❝ DON’T USE ICE ?? I thought it was supposed to reduce swelling or something . . . ❞ Caspar muttered with slight confusion - but ultimately he took the other’s advice , lowering the bag from his cheek and putting it to the side. He crossed his arms - much like a small child would - eyes following the other for a few brief seconds as he kept talking. Those musings . . . was that . . . doubt he heard ?? ❝ Uh , yeah , he did , or else I wouldn’t’ve fought him , ❞ he stated almost defensively. ❝ I mean - y’don’t believe me or something ?? ❞
well this was unfortunate. all he wanted to do was get by, only to find himself pulled into a conversation he had no intention of starting. ignoring the person talking to him was always an option, however, that seemed rude even for him. “ right. ” his voice rang with skepticism. it wasn’t the fault of the man in front of him that his words sounded similar to what seifer felt like telling the whole school after their training session got out of hand nor was it his fault that it had bothered leo. all that was a different time and place – a surprisingly simpler one – it wasn’t something he needed to spend energy dwelling on now. “ regardless, you might want to consider getting someone to look at that. ”
— STILL KEEPING THE MELTING ICE BAGGIE TO HIS WOUND , Casper listened intently ( or not ) , nodding his head as he could feel the cold start to numb his fingertips. His palm was already soaked , but there wasn’t much he could do about it. Maybe it wasn’t best to grab the nearest bag & ice cubes he could find and make his own makeshift icepack . . . But for right now , it served its purpose. ❝ Well , y’know , it’s just a . . . uh . . . ❞ His thoughts drifted nowhere for a few seconds , before his sea foam hues made eye contact with the other again. Then a grin would form on the brigand’s face - ❝ ‘Tis but a scratch !! See ?? Not bad !! ❞
— IT’S ALWAYS COMPLETELY LIKE HIM TO DO THINGS LIKE THIS ; some things don’t change , even if your world is turned quite literally upside down & your thrown into a new life , new identity , new routine. But Casper is still Caspar , and if it’s one thing he hasn’t lost , it’s his scrappy attitude - throwing punches whenever he deems necessary , getting into larger fights than he can handle , and . . . always. Ending up , in some shape or form , injured. The bruised eye and busted lip is evidence of that today. He holds what looks like a plastic baggie of quickly melting ice to his eye , sighing as he looks up when another comes into view. And before they can even say anything , his first instinct to go off on is , ❝ Y’know , if you think THIS is bad , you should see the other guy . . . ❞ Which sounds cliche , but he generally thinks he was the one that came out truly victorious. ❝ He fuckin’ deserved it , is all I’m sayin’. ❞
( elliot fletcher, trans male, he/him, fe3h ) * &. i know it must be scary for you, caspar von bergliez, after surviving the takeover. to turn into someone like casper beckham, a twenty-three year-old waiter at castle town diner & janitor at jungle gym’s, right here in castle town. just remember that you are as ingenuous as you are impulsive, and to be wary, be safe, be true to who you are : neutral through and through. ( hywia )

BEFORE THE SNAP. / C A S P A R V O N B E R G L I E Z
So. Caspar. Fun kid.
CASPAR is one of the Black Eagles at Garreg Mach Monastery’s Officers Academy ; he’s the second son of a noble , but unlike the others which were destined to gain inheritance or the like , Caspar . . . wasn’t the firstborn , and he didn’t have a Crest , so he really had nothing going for him in terms of status aside from “hey I’m part of this family.” His father was the Adrestian Empire’s Minister of Military Affairs , and with a war hero father and an older brother with quite the rep , he had a lot to prove himself for.
So !! That’s why he ended up in the Officers Academy to begin with ; he decided that he’d make his own name for himself and prove his own worth , so he’d became a great warrior of his own volition at the academy rather than piggyback off of his noble background.
Character wise ?? He’s a fun one.
Caspar is the EPITOME of ‘chaotic stupid’ but he’s also got a huge heart - he’s very hotheaded , impulsive , and he does a lot of things without thinking. His heart is way bigger than his body , and he actually cares a lot about people and isn’t afraid to show it. His strong sense of justice is always something he prattles on about , AS MUCH AS . . . to often feel guilty about things he really shouldn’t , or aren’t his fault.
But sometimes u gotta point out to him he’s doin’ somethin’ wrong because . . . he’s not gonna know.
He’s very gullible n a lot of things tend to fly over his head and that’s why I kind of use the term ingenuous to describe him - bc he’s very innocent in a naive sense and often doesn’t get a lot of things somebody more streetwise would get. He’s quick to judge but also takes things at face value and can’t really read between the lines that well. BUT you find that’s a huge part of his charm , bc Caspar likes looking for the best in people , but also will beat your ass if immediately he sees you’re up to no good.
And this is why he’s so impulsive again - acts without thinking because he acts a lot on emotion , such as in his support with Byleth when he immediately moves to get some thieves away from hurting a group of kids . . . but years later , those same thieves attack soldiers under his command , and a lot of them don’t make it. He doesn’t really know the possible ramifications of his actions , but that doesn’t mean the outcomes are all bad. But he feels guilty seeing the damage he caused because he KNOWS that isn’t what he wanted.
But he’s an extremely caring & honest person and extremely trustworthy - like Caspar doesn’t know how to stab anyone in the back. He doesn’t know how to lie. He’s a good boy n he does his best and yeah he’s a little thick-headed bt that’s okay !! It’s okay to have a heart bigger than your brain n’ Caspar’s got a LOT of heart to fill the entire army !!
also uh he’s like. rly loud lmao he’s chaotic n loud n we love that for him
AFTER THE SNAP. / C A S P E R B E C K H A M
CASPER BECKHAM .... so. fun,
SO SORTA LIKE PRE-SNAP , he came from a wealthy upbringing but due to be the non-favored child , didn’t get the inheritance aka his dad’s clothing company.
so what does cas do in response ?? WELL , he pretty much has his entire family breathing down his neck to work in the company still as some kind of lower position. but he’s not really content with that and wants to move onto something he made himself.
and what does he do ??
he . . . becomes a streamer ??
his family does NOT approve that he chooses to use internet stardom as his career - but he gets really popular and that’s how he can support himself when they eventually kick him out.
so he gains that internet fame as a popular gaming streamer named “SHORT KING” and he’ll pretty much do... anything on camera he wants or his followers find funny.
and that’s it tbh.
in ct ?? he really is v neutral to the change versus fodlan but he’s also... skeptic to trust things bc the war is still heavy on his mind and he lost a lot of people he knew to it.
he’s kind of acting like everything is fine bt,,, is it really ?? lmao.
BT YEAH THATS IT I,,,, love my kid a lot n im rly excited 2 write him !! im so sorry if this isnt coherent i am having a Time
