GENERAL INFO:

appearance:

personality:

As far as personality goes, Cal is very brutish and malicious. He finds no enjoyment in taking the easy way out and instead fancies a challenge. He's a bit hardcore and militant as he was raised to essentially be a killing machine. He doesn't like taking other's life despite being trained to do so though if push comes to shove, he has no problems with it. Someone has to do it, right? However, if the individual they have to kill is a good sport and puts up a good fight, Cal is more than willing to let them go. A good fight does not go appreciated by the battle-ready male. Being both a sword and shield, the bulky feline is cold and distant, never warming up to anyone as he has serious trust issues that one would never guess he has due to how he engages in conversation. As mentioned, he is brutish - borderline barbaric - and is ambitious, but that doesn't mean a more tender side of him doesn't surface when conversing with another. However, when it comes to speaking with others, he enjoys learning more and understanding topics he is unaware about. This side of him is softened to a much greater extent when speaking with or being around children. He still maintains his cold and distant ways, but he has a gentler undertone with boundless patience. As for adults, they don't get that luxury. With older individuals, Cal expects them to be well-informed and trained enough to hold their own. Any sort of weakness is not an option. Well, rephrasing that- everyone has flaws and weaknesses, he understands that. But those who know this and are not willing to improve don't have his respect. The best improvement is self improvement after all.

Continuing on, Cal, though rough around the edges himself, does his best to encourage others in his own way. Giving up is out of the question and if he has to live on this fucking sorry-ass planet then so the fuck do you. He gets agitated when others speak poorly about themselves and would do what he can to lift their spirits once more. He's a hard nut to crack but once it's done, one will realize he isn't a nut at all. Instead, he's more like candy with a gooey center. He has a lovely sense of humour and a just as lovely (singing) voice. He's a tough guy with strong values and even stronger muscles. Though, with that being said, he finds difficulty in forming relationships that are even remotely positive because of what he was taught as a young child and the things he was exposed to (where he grew up, love and affection was a strategic tool rather than a genuine feeling). Because of this, Cal develops crushes rather easily. Though, because of his lack of experience and the values that had been drilled into his mind as a child (trust no one, everyone is an enemy, the world is cruel, the weak are preyed on by the strong, the weak are there to be ruled by the strong, with power comes security etc.) he denies it and himself of any positive relationship because such a thing only exists in fairytales in his mind.

Because of the lack of love in his life, Cal had grown to be more or less what his clan had wanted him to be. Save for a couple traits that he manifested on his own due to a strong mind and a relatively okay moral compass (compared to those he lived with, he is the least violent). But, for the sake of answering a hypothetical question, let's say an individual manages to break through to Cal and somehow gain his friendship. What then? Well, nothing but sunshine and rainbows, truthfully. He'll be much more tame with them and to him, their word is taken above all else. If they asked him to jump, he'll ask 'how high?' He would go through great lengths to make them smile and laugh and would be significantly nicer to this special individual. He would be their sword and shield and theirs only. He would conquer Heaven, Earth and Hell for this person(s) (though he'd do all of this even without a special individual to tell him to) and would hurt anyone who dared raise a hand to them. His short coat is thick and soft which makes him perfect for snuggling and any sort of physical contact - something he would be no stranger to. Best believe he would be at this individual's side when they're sick, taking care of them tirelessly until they're well once more. He'd take extreme pride in being able to be apart of their life and continuously wonder why they, an amazing person, would chose to be lovers/friends/adopted siblings/etc. with him.

history:

ohhh! This is the fun part.
Alright, so get this, Cal comes from this tribe-like group of creatures called (NAME HERE LMAO) and they're a rambunctious, barbaric group of savages. Trained killers and murders are applauded for their "hunts" and captures. They'd consume territory and dictate over those who were unable to protect themselves. They were a power-hungry lot who only cared about getting stronger and gaining more territory to call theirs. Torture sessions, public executions and humiliations as well as getting females outside of the group pregnant, only to kill her when she has the litter were second nature to young Cal. This was normal to him and he was encouraged to join them. He did once, detested it and for the sake of keeping up appearances, he hung to the back and avoided it when he had the chance.

Within the group, there are powerful (royal if you will) families that have a particularly strong genetics: Blackthorn, Thanok, Reilos, Osris, and Zilvenus. Cal belonged to the Relios family along with his father and mother being the head, his father's brother as his second in command and Cal's siblings: one brother, two sisters. His siblings and himself were relentlessly trained by both their parents and the others in their group and were only conceived to continue the Relios family. Never was their birth out of love and the genuine desire to raise children. To be born into these families or become the mate to a member of these families is a high honour given to only a select few. Cal was proud to be apart of this family despite all the wrongdoings they have committed. One of them being Cal's uncle getting a she-cat (SHE NEEDS A NAME) pregnant under the false pretense of love and taking her back with him to the group where she realized just what kind of situation she was in. Because of her relation with Cal's uncle, Cal was around her frequently and it didn't take long for the two to start talking. She was the first person to really care about him and she taught him about the wonderful world they lived in and the group he lived in was a disgusting and terrible one. Though she enjoyed stirring up trouble, she used the fact she was pregnant to her advantage and got away with many things as the group didn't want to harm the unborn children she carried. In the months she was pregnant, she and Cal developed a friendship built on mutual trust and compassion. It all soon ended when a couple days after she gave birth, she was executed after denying to join them. Despite young Cal standing in between her, the executioner and the crowd in attempt to reason with them, he was pushed to the side and held down as the session continued. He watched as she was killed with a defiant grin on her face.

Promptly after she was killed, Cal was punished by torture and starved for a week. His family members didn't even bat an eye at him nor did anyone show him as much compassion as (SHE-CAT) did. After his punishment, he emerged a new person on the inside thanks to (SHE-CAT) though continued his training as to not arise suspicion. Hatred for his group grew more with every passing day as he learned more about them and their ways of conduct. When he reached the age of fourteen months, he realized no one was going to change their ways as it seemed to be working effectively. That didn't make it right. So deciding to learn more about the world, Cal disappeared for a couple months. During his travels, he came across a good lot of individuals that he adapted good personality traits from. One of them being a kind demon whom Cal sold his soul for power. The demon also gave Cal abilities, but didn't tell him what they were or how to manifest them (also bc i need to buy them from the store but i'm broke so this gives me more time to accumulate the coin to get them) just because they liked him so much. Now using his newfound abilities, he went back to his group and slaughtered everyone after they still insist on not changing their ways. As for he children who were too young to understand anything, they were dropped off at various clans that Cal had come across. He was able to rid the world of the stain that is (GROUP NAME) but when he died, he would cease to be. He's a bit concerned about it, but he doesn't regret what he did.

Now a traveler, he'll come across Tanglewood and join them.

• okay but idea credit to candor so like siblings tried to kill him to get the rest of the inherance/power
• this would be after he emerges from his punishment for speaking out against (SHE CAT)’s death
• they try to kill him countless of times but he manages just to barely escape their schemes with cuts and bruises
• he then caught on to their plan of killing him off for his share of the inheritance and decided to end things here and now
• as he attempted to reason with them (cos they’re his siblings and (SHE CAT) taught him how to show affection. He was still shit at it but at least he didn’t want to kill his siblings), they heavily wound him and leave him out to bleed to death
• the kind demon shows up and decides to help him
• she heals him ip reall nice n good and he’s thankful. Demon says no prob and Cal asks if he could join her on her travels. She agrees and they go explore the world together, meeting others along the way and adapting some of their personality traits
• after months of travel, cal decided to go home but not without a parting gift. Deciding to eradicate the people who raised him and the rest of his group, he sold his soul to his demon companion for an extra advantage in fights. The demon also gave him abilities but wasnt told what they were or how to manifest them
• parting ways, he headed back to his group to try and reason with them
• reasoning didn’t work so he slaughtered everyone shrug emoji
• now that he doesn’t have a place to go, he heading to tanglewood cos his demon compnaion told him it was a place he could join if he wanted to
