child  --  Cain at age 10 , just after his parent’s passing and subsequent surgery . He’s tiny for his age , and showing signs of that shy personality he’ll develop as an adult . 

“ normal ”  --  Cain , but if he didn’t have albinism . Generally less timid , more confidant . Dark chestnut hair and golden tan skin like his brother , his mother . He still takes after his father in facial structure .

royal  --  A prince . His birth brought a year of prosperity , and so the kingdom believes him blessed . Favored by God , maybe , given how pure he is .

assassin / mafia  --  Earnestness makes him a good errand boy and a reliable asset with that unassuming air . What kind of threat could a meek boy like him possibly pose ? His brother mends breaks and bruises and gun wounds as an underground doctor while Cain takes whatever task he’s given . His specialty is poisons and mutilation .

tattoo  --  based off that flowershop / tattoo parlor idea . Of course , an artist , Cain works at the latter . He’s freer , more open . Somehow , he navigated through life to arrive at some content state . Good for ships , I guess .

demon  --  more just a concept for drawing than playing

girl  --  Catherine , instead . She grew up the same way as Cain , developing a similar personality , similar worries . Unlike Cain , though , she caught the eye of John . One thing led to another  --  now , she’s married to him with two children , uncertain how to feel about the whole arrangement . It isn’t love , but she’ll convince herself it is .

psycho-pass  --  Cain is a borderline case , treading the line between “ safe ” and “ unstable ” despite great efforts . He’s still a diligent Investigator , though . Perhaps that’s all that’s keeping him there , and how well he works .

fullmetal alchemist  --  ( tbh this is the verse Cain was originally developed in ) Enlarged heart remains , with an unidentified digestive condition added on that left him small , fragile , skin and bones as a child . At 10 , Cain’s parents died , and his brother and friend , John , dove into Alchemic study , pursuing a cure for Cain’s poor health and inevitable , premature death . When Cain turned 16 , the two performed a transmutation on him , saving him . Damien and John went on to develop their medical alchemy , while Cain pursued the arts .

fullmetal alchemist v2  --  either the transmutation failed , or they couldn’t perfect it in time . In either case , Cain dies an early death . Damien , determined , turns to the taboo . He and John catch the eye of the military , and their research is funded . They perform human transmutation , and the homunculus War comes to be . ( this is from when I was in highschool don’t judge me too hard weh . cain actually grew out of this dude so rly this is where everything started . )
