Kaleb Sullivan

Gentle Intellectual

The perfect picture of a socially awkward bookworm. Kaleb's shy nature hides a bright mind and a profound enthusiasm for learning and understanding as much of the world as possible. He is independent out of necessity, possessed of a quiet kindness and deep reverence for life, and is very afraid of letting others get close to him.


Hermit in Training

Kaleb was raised a city kid, but his kind heart and quiet demeanour had no place in the loud and competitive world he was born into. Having a goal sustained him in his childhood, he wanted to be a surgeon just like his father, and that innocent desire to make the world a better place was his shield against the cynicism of life.

He was still young the first time he fainted at the sight of blood. It was a reaction that persisted as he grew older, and derailed not only the expectations and dreams his family had for him, but the future he had imagined for himself.The absence of a dream had to be filled by something, and his parents pushed him towards the next best measure of success, achieving more than his peers wherever and whenever possible. The forced competition with no direction weighed on his insecurities and left him feeling confused and lost, drifting more and more towards solitude. His departure for college was not a quest to find himself, it was a desperate retreat from a life where gentle souls could only toughen up or get crushed underfoot.

Even with the fresh start in a new place, he can't quite shake the feeling that retreating from society is the only way he'll ever survive. The surface he presents to others is friendly enough, but Kaleb always tries to duck out of human interaction long before anyone gets to know him.

Anything Else?

- 18 years old.
- Dusty blonde hair, pale blue eyes, a light sprinkling of freckles across his nose.
- A bit too small, very scrawny, no physical strength to speak of.
- Quite nearsighted, opts for a simple pair of silver-rimmed glasses over contacts.
- Rent and college are paid for by enthusiastic parents and tutoring jobs.
- Often buys textbooks for courses he's not taking because the subject matter is interesting.

Powers

Silence Is Golden
. . . (Dreamer Power)

When Kaleb needs a little peace and quiet for reading, study, or just an emergency introvert recharge, he seems to find it.

Twitter Hearted
. . . (Swan Ride)

You can mentally put whatever message you want on those little Valentine's candy hearts. You are no longer limited to be mine or hug me or love you or other simple messages! There is a character limit but you’ll figure that out with trial and error.

Haptic Interface
. . . (Noms~)

You can now write in the air with a fingertip. With intention, you can cause streaks of light to follow your fingertips through the air in one single and unchanging color. These lights will only disappear once you want them to.

Complete Event:
- Meta 4 Log
Ten RPs:
- Queuelatteral Damage (Nathaniel & Kaleb)
- Scales and Arpeggios (jeremiah & kaleb)
- Books and Books (Nathaniel/Algernon/Kaleb) *unfinished
- The First Night (Solo)

- Unfamiliar Escort (Shiloh/Kaleb)

Goal:
Kaleb can perceive nearby magic like a real (if intangible) object through a combination of human senses like vision, sound, texture, or scent. This perception is subject to the same level of awareness as his normal senses, he can miss magic if he's not paying attention, but close examination might reveal more detail.
