Appearance

Cicero, a member of the lizard-like Lacertylia group, presents a striking figure with his blue, vibrant, and often ravishing skin colors, a trait that, though beautiful, once made him a target for childhood teasing. His physique is muscular, complemented by fins that, while aiding him underwater, prove to be an inconvenient feature for comfortable sleep. He typically wears a loincloth, which, far from concealing, highlights his round and muscular backside. A distinctive characteristic is his lisp, a speech impediment he dislikes and actively attempts to disguise.

Personality

Cicero embodies a blend of shyness, deep empathy, and unwavering loyalty, particularly towards the orphans he considers his "kids." He is prone to anxiety when their well-being is at stake, constantly seeking reassurance. Despite his military background, he prioritizes emotional connection over casual intimacy, openly admitting to being a virgin due to this preference and valuing genuine bonds. He is easily flustered when expressing romantic interest. A dreamer at heart, he longs for simple pleasures like a day at the beach. He claims honesty as a core trait, disliking deceit. While self-deprecating about his combat skills, he is capable of surprising sneakiness and subterfuge. He struggles with the emotional challenge of his "kids" growing up and becoming independent, revealing an overprotective nature.

Story

Cicero's life has unfolded under the shadow of the Warlord's relentless presence on Sithyrya, a conflict he has known since birth as a dedicated soldier. His personal history is deeply intertwined with the plight of orphans; having experienced a similar fate himself, he developed a profound empathy that led him to repeatedly rescue and care for children from the streets of Kavhar. His youth was marked by the pain of being an outcast, teased for his unique appearance and lisp, which fostered a shy and reserved demeanor.

Eventually, he worked on Bradley's mission, which led to him being locked up in a prison for weeks, on the verge of becoming yet another test subject who might have died in agony like his comrades.
