Hihi! For Cal, midnight? Thank you!

What keeps your OC up at night? Do they have nightmares? Fears? Anxieties? What do they do in the small hours of the morning when they should be sleeping?

The later question is the easiest to answer; Cal spends the wee hours of the morning/final hours of the night looking either up at the stars or at a piece of metalworking.

Cal has always had a fascination with outer space from the aspect of 'so many possibilities, so much potential'. It gives him a faint hope for himself. (Not to mention how it's just plain gorgeous up there; he could spend hours just looking at the colors of a nebula). As for the metalworking, it's how Cal channels his emotional turmoil. His art comes from the heart, pure and simple. He takes great pride in it. He's also somewhat secretive about it; you're more than welcome to commission him for something, but his personal pieces will never see the light of day if he can help it.

Cal obviously has a fear of abandonment, but the one fear and anxiety that is stronger than that is him becoming a plaything/afterthought for someone else. He's seen what chasing after the validation/affection of others can do to a person due to how wrecked his mother was after Cal's father leaves them, and he refuses to let the same thing happen to him. Thus, he closes himself up and only has the smallest hint of his true self peeking out to seek out companionship if someone catches his interest. This is actually the attitude, along with his nimble fingers in both metalworking/tactile puzzle-solving/A Bunch of Stuff, Really, that earns him the Floyd Leech-brand nickname of Nautilus.

The images below (somewhat) represent the before and after of that exact 'I'm just a toy to you' scenario that plays out during the 2nd Arcane Exchange, the second image meant to be him in young adulthood.

Hihi! ⚔️ and 👑 for Cal? Thank you!

Okay, but I love this! Such a cool mix of personalities :)

⚔️: Cal's Relationship with Sebek

So, nothing's confirmed yet, but I'm starting to suspect Cal has sensory issues related to sound(pretty ironic considering he's into metal-working, but again it's not been confirmed).

Even without that, Cal would get irritated by Sebek from jump. Not just because the croc boy is Loud™, but Cal also finds Sebek to be judgmental af about humans and the 'solar surfer' is NOT here for it; he gets enough prejudice from his classmates at Corlux without getting it from a 'self-righteous sentient megaphone'. Cal is staying as far away as he can from Malleus's attendant as he possibly can.

👑: Cal's Relationship with Vil

Take Cal's displeasure at Sebek being a judgmental type, now multiply it by five and add in a dash of 'I don't trust your character for a second'. Cal takes one look at Vil Schoenheit when he does one of his senior year check-ins and alarms start blaring death metal because this pretty boy is setting off all kinds of red flags of toxicity for this Corlux cadet.

Are all of these thoughts justified? No, of course not; Cal doesn't have the context of the canon year's events that show there is much more depth to the former Pomefiore Housewarden's soul than meets the eye. Cal will even concede that Vil's line of work puts a shit ton of mental pressure on the guy to be perceived as perfect and that is not okay by any sense. Does he also think it's shitty that Vil is the kind of guy who thinks freckles/sunspots need to be covered up because they don't 'meet the right standard of beauty?' Very much yes.

As for how both of the canons view Cal...

Well, Cal's standoffish protectiveness of himself due to him having absolutely no trust in others (long story) probably isn't winning him any favor in either of their books.

Spin the wheel and get a DC character
