FULL APPEARANCE: Cal has a sharp jawline and sharp cheekbones, a slim, slightly-downturned nose, pale beige skin which, luckily, doesn't burn easily in the Summer, and almond-shaped eyes. He has dark circles under his eyes from a distinct lack of sleep combined with over-sleeping. Cal keeps his eyes half-lidded instead of fully open from a comment a former boyfriend once said to him. His real smiles look fake because of this, as he looks more dazed than happy.
He has plenty of freckles littering his skin, the majority are found on the tops of his arms, shoulders, cheeks and across the bridge of his nose. Other freckles are on his body, but in lesser quantities. He has a large scar running from his left hip bone to above his belly button, he doesn't like talking about it. He has a collection of little scars scattered around his body, most of them can be found on his hands and knuckles, sometimes his arms.
He continually wears layers of clothing, no matter the weather, along with other forms of clothing that helps mask their former femininity (ie: bandages to strap down things). A fan of jackets and baggier shirts, Cal often wears up to three, maybe four layers of shirts/jackets at any given time. He prefers darker colors over light, but often wears lighter colored pants and at least one out of the layers of shirts is a brighter color.
Cal has a thing for being clean, he hates when his hair even looks slightly greasy or if he smells even a little bit bad. Therefore, he tries to stay as clean as he can in certain senses. A little mud, dirt, and/or grime won't phase him in the long run, or even in the short run, as that can be washed off easily.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Cal is snarky and sarcastic with a sense of dry and dark humor. He goes between talking too little and talking too much and is very vague either way. He is smart, cunning, a liar through and through and the worst secret keeper you've ever seen. When people tell him secrets, Cal always tells them to people that think they might be useful. He has become incredibly good at lying and is pretty persuasive when he needs to be.
Cal has a very soft side around people he trusts, he just doesn't trust people enough to let them see it because often times people don't a) get his humor, or b) get him, but he secretly loves people and wishes he had more friends. He is a fan of physical affection and loves hugs and kisses, but acts as if they're disgusting and not worth his time, leading to a distinct lack of affection being placed upon the man. He is very awkward when he does receive any form of affection.
When there's a goal that needs to be completed as a group, he drops his vague speech patterns as he enjoys getting things done quickly on time. If it's a goal that he alone must complete, he won't tell you a thing about it straight on. He doesn't like to ask for help, he wants his own intelligence to be at the forefront of any of his successes.
He is an ambivert, the crosspoint between extroverted and introverted. He loves his time alone, he thrives for it, but that doesn't mean he isn't good with being around people. He does lean slightly more towards introversion, however. He likes to look for the meaning in things, rather than to take them at face value. He is quite good at riddles. Cal uses logic to make decisions and uses the information he has at hand to decide them.
HISTORY
FAMILY: Gragi (father), Brakke (mother), Vox (twin brother)
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: None
BIRTHPLACE: Fort Weyr
HISTORY: Firstborn of fraternal twins, Cal grew up in Fort Weyr along with his brother in the creche. Cal came out as a transgender male around the age of 14 and was generally well accepted by the community, save for a few people. While his brother Vox was known for a helpful and sweet disposition, Cal was making the headlines as the local thief. He was a pickpocket around town, figuring that he could make a killing off the little knick-knacks that people carried around with them. This worked for a short while, people not knowing where a picture or a trinket or maybe some cash from their back pocket went. Eventually, people figured out it was him after his brother spilled the beans. He never forgave him for that, but the two are still close.
Cal was caught more than once and was punished accordingly each time, but never really was reformed and constantly continued his actions. In order to get people off of his back, Cal became a candidate at the age of 19. This made people believe that he was truly reformed, while in reality, Cal was still doing his dirty work on the sidelines. Putting on a fake smile and being a little more gentle like his brother (but not too much) by day, and doing any small-time thievery of minor things at night, people were convinced that the troublesome boy had finally become more domestic. He never believed once in his life that he could ever be a dragonrider.
