Calvin Freeman Basic Information Race: Human Languages Common Age: 19 (Born 28 Fall, 492 AV) Physical Description Calvin Is 5' 7. He is a skinny frame, weak and looks even smaller for his age. Although most people mistake him for a simple 18 year old based on looks alone, Calvin carry's something dark with him that ups his sense of maturity. Calvin has short brown hair that falls straight to just above his ears. He makes an effort to allays appear at his best but still in a casual manner always wearing casual clothes. His eves are a dark shade of green which once again adds to his sense of despair and mistrust, although when he does smile his entire face lights up. Because of Calvin's skinny frame, he always goes out wearing emerald clothes (his favorite color) that are tight and skin to his body giving him the appearance of a stronger man. Character Concept Calvin takes much pride in his work. He is an educated man, however he despises religion. He loves to read and work on his alchemy arts. He is extremly social saying hi to everyone and strikeing up conversation, but loves to work, so most likely you will find him in a tavern chating up the locals and buying a round, if he isn’t hard at work making potions. Calvin has grown up to be a good nature man, but if forced he will make his money through less than legal methods like theft and larcney. Calvin doesn't like to spend much time in his own house he prefers reading in public areas such as fountains or parks. He likes science hence the attraction to alchemy and Philtering. Calvins hatred of religion sparks from his History in Nyka. Calvin doesn't even look to the alchemical god of the Pycons, Harameus. He is not very violent, but more resourceful when called for. As you can see Calvin is a man of strong opinions he writes down his thoughts almost constantly. On the lighter side, Calvin like to have fun, go out drinking, and party. Summarizing, Calvin's most favorite activity is lecturing, teaching and performing, while also having fun, partying and drinking Character History Calvin did not start his life with his name. He started as Alex Hadner, eldest son of the Hardner family, A highly religious, and highly powerful family in Nyka. His parents were deep worshipers of Nyka and the demigods. He started life growing up and following rules. He attended Hall of robes to learn reading and writing. He went home to pray to the demigods who ruled him. His parents were often busy pleasing his leaders so Calvin explored Nyka’s sectors. Calvin’s casual and friendly nature caused him to talk to every one on the strangers. He would talk about Celestials and the order and how good life was in Nyka. When he wasn’t talking or learning about the monks and Celestials he liked to spend time in a local potion shop. From birth Alex always liked chemistry and science that's what attracted him to this potion shop he liked to go in the back and watch the philterers mix there substances. One day while watching the philterers mix their potions a guard came in and took one of the philterers accusing her of treason and practicing world magic. Alex, even as a boy, wanted to stop this injustice and stood in between the corrupt monk and the woman, but evil prevailed and the monk took the woman with a glimpse of lust in his eye and a crooked smile on his face. This instance was the spark of the flame Several years passed with not another instances. Alex still went to that local shop and watched as they mixed potions. He still went to the hall and prayed, but that spark in him started to burn a rebellious fuel deep inside him. The monks that he once respected for protecting Nyka he now viewed as the enemy in his city. Now, he shot every one that passed him a dirty look and refused to talk to him. One day while walking to the hall he saw a crowd gathering and decided to appease his curious nature and look into what was draw in the crowd. As Alex pushed forward through the crowds he found a man in the center shouting at the crowd walking around a circle drawn in chalk on the floor with a stack of books next to him. As Alex listened to the man speak he drew in closer as he talked about combining substances with Djed. The man now dropped to his knees and the circle lit up with a blue hue. Alex watched as the circle grew brighter and brighter, but as the blue hue engulfed him in mystery a group of monks came in and took the man from his circle and told the group to run away and set the books on fire declaring that monks are the only ones that can openly practice world magic. This turned the flame into a burning inferno. Calvin got up a ran to grab one of the books from the burning pile. He then ran straight for the Nyka gates. As he got out of the Nyka gates Alex saw a trade caravan leaving and decided to jump on. As Alex looked at the book he garbed he saw that it was Intro to Alchemy by Calvin Vanger. Alex looked up to Nyka and decided to change his name to Calvin Freeman. Freeman because he felt a freedom from the totalitarian religious rule of Nyka. He had lost respect for all in that city including his family. Calvin served as a philterist on this caravan. From city to city using alchemy in secret to enhance his potions. Calvin finally arrived in Lhavit and was told that it was the capital of magic. He jumped off the caravan and started up the trails. Housing Calvin Lives in a small hole in one of Lhavit's many alleys. He purchased the hovel upon entering Lhavit It isn't composed of much here is a brief description from my first post "Calvin sat in south east corner of the shack. A bed covered in hide blankets sat in the opposite of him. The bed looked unconformable to be in and didn't provide much warmth. Across form the bed on the South wall was a simple green stained tub. Calvin rose from his leather chair and moved to the tub to fill it with water. Calvin derobed and through his clothes on to the chair. The chair was the nicest thing in the room. It had end tables on both sides of it, one with a oil lamp another held a purse with a few scattered Kinas around it. The only other noticeable thing in the room was the alchemy circle on the south wall. As Calvin got up form the bath he, went to his bed and layed down, a day is done." ![]() Skills
