[attr="class","appbold"]PERSONALITY:
- polite first, peppy second, casey's known for an irrepressibly upbeat tempo and a dedication to manners that goes beyond all else. he's not just about saying his please and thank yous; casey's massive amount of courtesy towards others is close to superpowered and this tends to garner reactions ranging from delighted, bewildered to sometimes terrified.
these manners come from a combination of a genuine compassion for others and casey's extroverted nature that wholly emphasises sympathy. helpful, he tries makes it his top priority to ensure ultimate comfort for all those around him. this isn't the result of a martyr complex, guilt or a need to be self-sacrificing - he just likes giving hands! unfortunately, this can come off as pushy and interfering, chiefly because he doesn't see a problem going behind people's back to be “helpful”.
especially since casey's flexibility comes with laser precise terms and conditions. while he'll bend over backwards for others, he's got a strong moral code, and no doubt goes out of his way to do things his way. confident, yes, but obviously there are times it's definitely considerate to do what he thinks is better - or more moral - for people. instead, his tendency to that can be a patronising, dismissive and passive aggressive. while casey “means the best” that is obviously no excuse for condescending behaviour.
and while casey takes pride and joy into making choices for other people he's hopelessly clueless when it comes to his own personal decisions. indecisive, you can't trust him to make a decision for himself without endless deliberation and hesitation. for one, people pick on this as hypocritical, given his tendency to interfere in the lives of others if he sees fit! and secondly, despite a rigid moral code, he feels most at home when he's on the fence about something. and you can't get him off that fence as casey will cling to it for his life. just try and shake him off, dude, that'll just make casey cling harder.
and while casey's got smarts, pretty intelligent in his own right as well as hard-working, he's also got a optimistic streak that can sometimes veer into the territory of naïve, going to extreme lengths to believe in the goodness of people. there's no doubt that this naïvety can be disastrous when it's hand in hand with such a blind want to help. thankfully, his indecisiveness has saved casey from making too many horrible decisions influenced by his gullible nature. so far, anyway.

[attr="class","appbold"]HISTORY:
- casey's lineage in superheroes goes quite far back in the golden age! stationed in mid-west america, his grandfather josiah radford, a.k.a. psionic, was one of the earliest sponsored heroes. growing into popularity in the late 60s and 70s, josiah owed it mostly to a wholesome, moral image that was marketed with specific intent to appeal to middle america. his well-liked superhero run only ended in the early eighties. the reason given was retirement - and by that point, josiah was definitely one of the older superheroes around - but, truthfully, he was forced into it due to a growing number of outlandish, godfrey bloom-calibre comments that were beginning to gain attention in the national media.
however, casey's childhood was rather detached from his grandfather's post-hero legacy. while his parents were super doting and super cheerful they made it no secret that they were starkly suspicious of the superhero industry. they believed sponsor companies to be turning immoral, corrupted by greed; these feelings were less prophetic, more born from a general distrust towards entertainment industries in general. despite this fact, casey's dream was to work in the glitz and glam of the superhero business and sponsor companies! while initially resistant to casey's aspirations, his parents eventually folded into his enthusiasm. allowing him to forgo his first year of college to intern at a big sponsorship company in los angeles. from there on it was just moving on up! a perky disposition, trustworthy nature but mostly an impossibly versatile temperament got him far and casey made a steady progression through the industry in personal assistant positions.
the employment change to working at vireximus university came in the years following eric evers death. laid-off in the aftermath of sponsor company scandals, casey's now working at the college as a careers advisor and an overly chirpy, scarily helpful one at that.

[attr="class","appbold"]POWERS:
- TELEKINESIS: casey is capable of moving inanimate objects psychically. given long-standing use of his gift for over twenty years of his life, he's adept at using it and able to manipulate the movement/flight trajectory of objects. while casey shows little issue in controlling multiple small objects at once on the other hand larger objects, particularly those that go beyond what he could physically lift, require more focus and a lack of movement. predictably, this leaves him defenceless! similarly, his power can only work for a limited radius of twenty feet.
