SEXUAL ORIENTATION Straight
APPEARANCE [[Clicky for Piccy]]
Calvin is no man you would see hiding back in a corner, wearing baggy cloths to hide his body. No way. Calvin loves his body and takes great care of it. He is average height but you wouldn't guess it from the way he struts around. His skin is fairly dark thanks to his genes, doing nice things for his small, dark black/brown eyes that always seem to give away more than he would like. His hair is also dark, though it depends on the light. Most of the time it appears almost black but it can be a lighter brown. Like the rest of his messy, dark hair, he has dark, thick eyebrows, slanting above his eyes. His nose is normal, angling out from his face and coming to a round tip after just the right length above his full lips. Though he shaves often, a rough stubble normally coats his chin, upper lip, and a few inches of his throat. He has a long, lean face on top of a long, lean body. He keeps his muscles trim by whatever means necessary. Calvin tends to stay with the generic cloths: white t-shirts, tan leather jacket, jeans that look like they have been worn too many times. It may seem that he is dressed casually but really, it doesn't matter what he wears, he looks good anyway and he knows it.
TRAITS/PERSONALITY Calvin, like his brother Lucian, has a terrible temper but, unlike Lucian and more like Alexander, he has learned to contain it to achieve success. But sometimes he can't help it and he loses it. He hates when anyone tries to tell him what to do and he has a definite problem giving in to anyone, regardless of the topic. Unless they make it seem like he is getting what he wants. A lot of the time, he is so blinded by getting what he wants, he won't notice manipulation. Calvin is not the type of guy who expects anything from anybody; so don't ask him for things and he won't ask you for them. He is easily surprised by someone who takes initiative to help someone else, especially when that someone is him. If he is not surprised by someone preforming a task, he believes it is their God-given order to do that and they should do it, regardless of what it is and if they want to do it. At times he appears lazy and unmotivated but he is just plotting how to get his next project started and finished with the least amount of work. He is a great leader in the sense that he gets stuff done quick and efficiently but he is a poor leader in that he is impatient and bossy. He knows what he wants and when he wants it and is no where near afraid to go after it. To others Calvin's goals may seem huge but when someone is as sure they will get it and as stubborn and unresisting of change as Calvin is, it is hard not to believe they will get it. Calvin, however, has little trust in his "followers" and tends to get angry when they don't so something just as he wanted. This leads to him doing alot of work. He is insensitive to emotion and gets upset--to say the least--when others are emotional. He really doesn't care what others think of him as long as they respect him. For this reason, he can be brutally honest. He doesn't mind being the center of attention but he tends to shy away from it if possible. Staying away from the crowds, Calvin tends to get involved with some shady things like gambling and anything risky. He feels that if there is no risk in his life, he might as well be dead. He really believes himself a true romantic and sometimes he can pull it off. Sometimes. Other times he gets shot down and goes out to drink it off. When he does get a girl, Calvin automatically becomes sincere, caring, and warm-hearted. Once he gets going, it is hard to turn him down, though he would never ask a woman for sex after she turned it down. He may see multiple girls at a time but he is open and honest with each of them. Also, if anyone knows him at all, they don't call him Edward or Cal unless they have a death wish. He resonds well only to Calvin or Maverick (or a shortened form of the latter).
SPECIAL ABILITIES Usually gets what he wants, one way or another. He has a knack for picking up on a person's insecurities.
HISTORY Calvin's just a normal guy with a normal past. If you can call getting kicked out of every private school he ever attended normal. Or if you can call watching his grandfather single-handedly destroy his parent's marriage, and then later, watch as his brothers' lives are ruined by the women their grandfather forces on them. When his parents spilt, when Calvin was only 5, he didn't feel much. He had heard them fight so many nights over what they suspected of eachother. He was actually relieved when they seperated. His sister was devestated as was his eldest brother, Alexander. Alexander moved in with his father's parents. He only had a year left at Hogwarts but he wasn't ready to go out on his own. Calvin had always seen that as a weakness in his brother. Nickolas was always the understanding one. He helped his family when anything happened and pretty much took on the role of father when the kids lived with their mother. Since the three youngest siblings grew up with only one parent at a time, they learned to trust Nickolas as their parent figure more than their actual parents. Julia just grew silent and eventually moved in with their father's parents like Alexander had. Nickolas was left with his two younger brothers. Their mother had given up trying to take care of her kids and let them run her life. Nickolas was always trying to get them a nice life, ignoring his Hogwarts letter to care for his family. Lucian and Calvin tried but both of them always had such tempers and they got into trouble. Within the four years it would take for Lucian to get his Hogwarts letter, the family reduced to four had lived in 19 different towns, in 23 different schools. Lucian tried out Hogwarts but after only a few months, the Headmaster had suspended him perminantly and requested that he be sent to Durmstrang where "someone had a chance of straightening him out". Nickolas had sent his brother to the academy after many frusterating days of begging and pleading on Lucian's part that he not be sent. Two years later, it was Calvin's turn to try out Hogwarts. Learning from his brother's mistake, Calvin did his best not to screw up. He has lasted, keeping his brother happy and giving him the chance to learn magic from some of the families that lived near him and his mother. Julia never developed her magical skills enough to recieve a Hogwarts letter but with enough money from her grandfather, Beauxbatons accepted her. But with each year that passes, Calvin relearns how dreadful his mother's pushy father can be. Every few months, or so it seems for the doomed boys, their grandfather sends a letter to them claiming he has some fantastic dame waiting for them. When each of them protest, he moans and blackmails until they take the girl on a date. The women are always high-class, arrogant, manipulative, and devious. And with each women, the boys' lives grow more and more controlled and depraved.
