Calamity dresses as a modern day youth having taken the time to study current beauty trends and has created his own sense of style. His style consists of extra length or tall tee's in either grey or black, black jeans with a black belt. Over his tall tee he also wears various flannelette hooded over jumpers. Calamity also wears a necklance with a pendant of a wolf in destinct knotwork with the words 'Live bold. Trust your instincts.' engraved on the back.

Calamity speaks in 'memes' on occassion, Also spends most of his time in his breed form of Lupus.

Calamity's bad habits involve being tactless when speaking to anyone on an empathetic level, remaining blunt regardless of situation. He also suffers from impaitence always wanting to do the next thing without waiting and sometimes without proper planning.

Calamity's greatest strength he would consider would be his speed. His ability to relay messages and move locations quickly to help others or it would be his ability to sense truth out of lies.

I am trying to tell a story of a lycanthrope out of his time slightly, having spent a lot of time in the umbra by himself for the most part healing and slowly building kin and his own pack later on he has lost most of what little he knew as a 'human'. His story is his growth from being an outsider to someone comfortable in Garou and human lore with a comfortable place within a large pack that he would consider family.

Top five things I'd like to see this character explore. 1. The settlement and unification of the current caern he resides in. 2. The vampires from his past returning on a hunt for him and the subsequent victory. 3. The growth of mutual friendships between those in the Caern 4. Growth as a philodox 5. More ghostly/medium/dark umbra plots!

Top five things I don't want to touch. 1. Rape 2. Attacking another caern 3. Being controlled to attack his Caern 4. Kiddnapping of his Kin 5. I don't have a fifth I'm pretty open to everything.

Mortal World

Calamity has no records of himself at all because he was born a Lupus. A wolf has no need for records of birth, records of death or an 'original identity'.

Calamity uses the Alias of Callum when speaking to humans. Having taken the name as it sounded more human than 'Calamity' and it sounds very similar rolling off his tongue.

Calamity has no photo identification.

He is not famous in mortal society.

He is educated in Garou lore, survival and investigation from his time as a Lupus before change and after change when he spent time in the Umbra educating himself. He has received no formal education from a school or university. He was later taught mortal lifestyle information from Duncan, his packmate.

Calamity doesn't own a vehicle. Why own a Vehicle when you can run.

Has no political record.

Calamity Lives at the caern as he spends most of his time in his Lupus form he has no need for a house. He shares open paddocks and cave like structures with his lupus kinfolk. Living at the Caern we have perimeters to protect us from supernatural and mortal creatures.

History

Calamity was born a Lupus. Given birth by Silent Strider lupus kinfolk twenty five years ago. As a kinfolk he was kept to the outskirts where he was taught to survive and acted as a normal wild jackal would. Hunting when the need to eat arose, sought shelter when the wild rains came and stayed away from humanity.

That all changed on the eve of what you could consider his sixteenth day of birth he underwent the change under the Auspice of the Philodox. With a blanked out memory he came to awaken in a form not his own. A form with two legs and two arms instead of four legs. He had changed into a Human. It was at this time that human Silent Strider kinfolk took him in, teaching him of the ways of the Garou and explaining to him what he was as best as they could. Once taught well enough Calamity was bounced from various Caerns and packs being taught all that he could until he came across his first real enemy of Gaia.

He found himself close to a vampiric covern and without much care and too much pride in his skills he entered the covern in order to remove the leeches from Gaia's presence only to possibly kill a few before being swarmed. Having no chance in defeating them all as he quickly realised he stepped sideways into the umbra and with it stumbled finding himself lost.

Calamity proceeded to spend two human years, in Lupus form where he was comfortable walking through the Umbra. Exploring and learning from the spirits what he can. He had found during his travels fifteen Lupus kinfolk residing within the Umbra. Having spent time with them and defending them from attacks he assumed the role of their Alpha.

As Alpha, Calamity spent most of his time protecting them and breeding, finding wherever he can a chance to bring them to the mortal world. It was in his explorations that he found Canberra's open Caern and with some time he and his packmates proceeded to exit the Umbra and enter Magpies Nest.
