Audition post (400 words): Metal clanged and sparked as swords clashed on the green, bloody battlefield. In the middle of the field, a man with unbelievable strength stood, slashing down any goblin that dared to approach. A sneer flashed on the face of the man as he decapitated a goblin flying through the air. This man was known as Caim. Caim, the legendary warrior of his lands. Caim ran through the crowds of the two clashing armies, slashing apart each enemy as it stood in his way. Caim seemed to get some kind of sick pleasure out of seeing an enemy's guts flow out of his stomach. Something that both disturbed him...and fueled him.

Caim. Your thirst for blood is horrendous. Let the minions go and just take down the leaders!

Caim stopped dead in his tracks. Was that...Angelus? There was no way. He had seen Angelus become the Seal and disappear into the light to hide from the evil that sought to destroy her. He knew she was still alive, but he also knew she was long gone. It must have only been an old thought resurfacing. Caim spun around just in time to block an attack from a giant troll.

The black haired man stared up at the creature from under his bangs and laughed (although no sound came out). The troll attacked again, slamming its sword to the ground and Caim jumped back. He then proceeded to run up the blade, always staying balanced. He jumped into the air, and stabbed into the troll's head, running up the head and around, sliding down the back with his sword still in the creature. The troll split in half and Caim landed with his sword raised out at his side.

Onward, Caim! To the castle!

Caim stopped again. He spun around. Castle? There was no castle! What was happening!? Where are you, Angelus!? he called out in his mind with his noble sounding accent.

You kill the child, and your soul will never be free again.

Caim dropped to his knees. A single tear rolled down his face. Why was he being taunted by his old friend? Why was she repeating all of the things she used to tell him? That's when Caim saw it. A sorcerer standing in front of him. The creature smiled a toothy, evil grin. Caim suddenly realized that he had given the sorcerer his friend's name. He-could-not-live.

Caim stood up and ran at the Sorcerer who promptly changed into the form of his old enemy, Manah. Lalalalalalalalala. The Watchers dance! Caim continued running, not caring about the distraction. The sorcerer changed again, this time into Caim's old friend, Inuart. I am strong now, Caim! Caim continued to charge, his sword ready to pierce when the sorcerer did something unexpected. It changed one last time into Caim's late sister, Furiae. It Begins...again.... Caim tried to pull back, but it was too late!

He had killed his sister! He had killed her! But no! It was the sorcerer that he had killed! Stay strong Caim!

Remember our pact...!

Hm, there's an obvious difficulty for me here, that being the fact that I haven't played the game at all, so I'm forced to try and judge the character from whatever research I can come across online and any other reports of your character.

However, from that information, there are some things I can't quite see.

Apparently, every report I've read had stated that Caim possesses a lot of hatred aimed towards the Empire, that being responsible for the deaths of his parents and that of his sister. That drive is what keeps him going onwards no matter what he may face. I can't really seem to read that drive. I can see him being driven on by someone else, but I can't see that absolute will to keep going onwards in the fight.

However, you've apparently got the blood-lust down to an absolute tee.

Not knowing that much about the character first-hand, which I imagine is the same for the other mods here, I don't really know how to approach making a decision here. As much as I can comment on what I think it missing from an effective sheet online, I haven't witnessed the character in game to be able to judge for myself.

I'll speak with Avenger.

Well unknown to, Medy I've actually played, Drakengard. A fine and rather disturbing game it is. Well anyway on to this...

Okay, first off you put him a very awkward scenario. He's battling emotions on the battlefield ,while at the same time decapitating goblins for fun. I would very much like to steer you away from a audition scenario, that occurs after the first game. In the second game, Caim is something like a soul-less doll without, Angela to guide him anymore. There's little reason for him to be fighting anymore. He's no longer a soldier for the empire, and everyone he ever knew is well...dead for the most part. It really depends on, which ending you consider canon. This game has numerous plot holes, so for someone who's played the game and acquired every single weapon (which isn't hard to do) its still very hard to grade this.

Another problem is just a sort of disorder in your audition. It seemed....rushed. The last part especially didn't seem to make any sense. If you plan on having me accept this then take the time. I highly doubt anyone else would try and claim Caim.

Now then, I'll give you my personal request. Don't bring Caim into KH. Drakengard is everything KH isn't. You are trying to bring a character from game filled with death, gore, cannibalism, and utter insanity into a light-hearted action-RPG, featuring Disney characters. It just doesn't fit.

Sorry, but there's really no advice I can give you aside from take your time next time around.

1/2 Denied

I will take your advice, but as for the whole Caim's personality, I am totally disregarding Drakengard 2. I don't like Caim's butchered personality. But thanks for the advice


Edit: Looking at it again, I agree it seems very rushed. I'd like to just cancel the audition.
