Name: Calanthe (Cal for short)
Age: 21
Hair: Very light blond/yellow
Eyes: Violet ('stormy' violet, no less)
Height: 6 foot something; he's described as being notably tall, and Wraeththu probably ain't short.
Weight: Slim
Medical Info: As a Wraeththu, has pretty much the perfect body. Excellent metabolism, digestion, immune system. Wraeththu do require regular aruna (magical sex) to be healthy, but aside from this, they never get ill, and they recover from injuries fairly quickly, depending on the injury. I am not sure how I ended up resolving the 'needs to have aruna' issue; I assume camp would take care of it most of the time, but that the Wraeththu end up getting really itchy for it about once a month or so. Insert PMS jokes.
Physical Traits: Cal is famous for his good looks (and his terrible attitude, but that's another post). He's tall, blond, and tanned, the spring break ideal. Has distinctive knife wound scars on his upper arms, as well as various other scars on other parts of his body.
What's OK to mention: Anything! Go for it.
Notes for the Psychics: All Wraeththu have psychic abilities; some have more natural ability and some develop them more than others. Cal is more of the former and definitely very little of the latter. Wraeththu have a vague sort of telekinesis, better-defined telepathy, and various magical skills for protection, etc. Cal is more skilled at telepathy than anything; he can lie very well telepathically, and you probably won't get inside of his head unless he wants you to. He has great mental shields.
Abilities: Again, mild telepathy and various forms of magic, but Cal doesn't really bother. Wraeththu are faster, more agile, and stronger than humans, and Cal in particular can take care of himself in a street fight. (Although he prefers to just shoot people in the head.)
Anything you think you need permission for, you probably don't. Email me if you want to work out details, but I'm open to basically anything and everything.

So it's been a while since Cal has been in camp! It will probably take a while for me to get back into his groove and pick up his voice again; so, in the meantime, this is a general crit post for him. Is the voice off? Am I having him do something that is completely OOC (making daisy chains, baking cakes, being nice, etc.)? Is it just not fucking funny anymore? Tell me, I would love to know if something is off!
Also: I was always a little worried when I had him here the first time that I was freaking people out. XD So this is a blanket post for TELLING ME IF I AM FREAKING YOU OUT WITH CAL. You can punch me over the Internet. I really don't mind. Give it to me!

Relationship meme! Because the last one is like a year old, thus woefully out of date. Also I have to watch Jane Eyre and write a paper on it by tonight, so yeah, distract me while I watch Jane Eyre, please.
It doesn't even have to be a relationship question, really! You can ask me anything. Does Cal like toe socks? No. No he does not. He thinks you humans and your silly toe socks suck. I know you wanted to know that.
PS: Guys, I love you, but I don't know all the characters y'all play. YOU'RE CRAZY. XD

D-d-d-draaaaabble meme! Give me a prompt of some kind or just comment and I'll hammer out whatever I feel like. See? I'm easy. I reserve the right to 1) ask for another prompt if I don't feel comfy with it; 2) turn the drabble into a fic s-sorry I do this a lot, or 3) leave deep and lasting scars on your psyche.
If those terms are acceptable to you, then COMMENT.

Okay, because I liked this meme and it's kind of going around again: this is the one where you tell me what you think of Cal, based on how I play him. Flaming drag queen? Future evil overlord? Will end up dead in a ditch in two years? ANYTHING GOES.
Comment here to see how Cal thinks you would fit into his world. (Most of you will probably end up incepted or dead. HA!)
Excerpt from The Wraiths of Will and Pleasure. I would imagine this takes place sometime after the events in this excerpt, in which Seel is a stone-hearted bastard. ( Pellaz and Cal, Opalexian and Thiede, and the Kamagrian and Wraeththu )
SO YES, basically, if anyone was reading the end of Enchantments and being completely bowled-over by the introduction of the Kamagrian and why Pellaz didn't know about them: he actually did, he just struck a deal with Opalexian, promising he wouldn't reveal the Kamagrian's existence to the general Wraeththu public. In return, Opalexian orchestrated the events of Enchantments and brought Cal and Pell back together. Opalexian = my girl.

Essay meme! Ask me to essay on something - the incoming Pellaz, Swift, Rue, any other people, the weather, what Cal thinks about Tuesday's mystery meat - and I'll talk it up for you.
ALSO because Pell made me think about it I will go ahead and essay on icons. It is almost impossible to consistently find androgynous people, and honestly, it's become too much work. >D I use women for Cal's icons because 1) in my eyes Cal is a very feminine character, and 2) a lot of the words that come out of his mouth are cruel, aggressive, and overall masculine, so I find it an interesting dichotomy to have a female face saying them.
As for the women I do use, it's all about personality. Quirky eyebrow lifts, smirks, mean smiles, condescending looks, seductiveness - it's a feel I'm going for rather than an overall look. My favorite model for Cal is Kelly Carlson because she's just got Cal's personality to a tee (her 'condescending smile' look is by far my most-used icon XD) and because, while she's undeniably beautiful, it's a kind of rough around the edges beauty and not at all airbrushed.
Sooo yes, that's why I use the icons I do. Do I picture Cal looking that girly? Nah. Do I picture him smirking like that? Hell, yeah.

Reversal meme is a go-go! Tell me what your characters think of Cal and I'll do the same for yours. You stroke mine and I'll stroke yours!
Interview meme! Ask me anything you'd like to know about Cal's motivations, relationships, or thoughts on life, love, and the universe. The answer: sex.
For your edification, a short (hopefully) essay on Cal's relationship with Swift and his family. ( Read more... )
Yeah yeah, meme time again. Comment here if you'd like to do something with me, plot-wise, character-development-wise or... something else I can't think of. 'Have wild sex with you' doesn't count, I'm afraid. But you can say it anyway!
Meme time! Especially because so few people have read Cal's series, I'm curious as to what people's impressions of him are and whether or not they square with my view of book-Cal. Feel free to criticize. Or not. Not is totally awesome, too. So - based on my CFUD playing of him, what kind of person do you think Cal is?
I've been working on the revised relationship forever, but this is much quicker! LOL ADD culture. Comment here if you want to know what Cal thinks, or doesn't think, of your character. I promise to be mean.
*leans on Riddle's door and knocks, annoyingly loudly* Headmaster says we're teaching a class together, Tommy Riddle. Shall we work on our lesson plan like good little Hogwarts professors?
