REWIND  /  1988 - 2010.

born and raised in los angeles, california, austin is the only child born to finnegan ‘flynn’ caldwell, a grammy award-winning musician, and astrid irvine, an a-list actress known for her 80′s rom-coms. the two were hollywood’s ‘it’ couple before they broke it off three months after austin was born. 

austin’s mom had custody over him, up until she passed away when he was eight. from then, it was just him and his dad. it was a tough adjustment at first, but it was nothing that all the best toys and fun trips around the world couldn’t fix. 

growing up, it was just countless distractions to hide the fact that flynn was a lacking father. he was a rockstar bachelor, who never cared much for being a parent. it was just nanny after nanny, while austin’s dad acted like more of a cool uncle than anything. that meant austin grew up with just about no boundaries or consequences, and always did whatever reckless, dumb, irresponsible thing he wanted.

responsibilities, curfews, being a good student - austin didn’t know them! and with parents like flynn caldwell and astrid irvine ( rip ), why should he? he was set for life the second he was born and could do anything he wanted. he really only attended RVU for that ~* fun college experience *~, after taking a year off post-high school to travel and y’know, shit around.

definitely would not have gotten into RVU without his dad’s donations ( yikes! ) and definitely picked business as his major because he figured it was a lot of common sense stuff?? also he’s good at bullshitting. jokes on him though. austin was a very lacklustre student and really just coasted by, doing the bare minimum in order to stay on the soccer team.

as crappy of a dad as flynn was, he and austin really bonded over music and spent a lot of time in their home studio together. everything he knew, from playing different instruments to recording music, he’d learned from his dad.

sometimes austin wished he was a music major instead, but the pressures of being flynn caldwell’s son was too much for his liking. so, he played music as a hobby and treated it as more of a fun party trick than something he wanted to pursue seriously. austin caldwell being serious about anything just wasn’t very on brand for him, ja feel?

definitely joined a fraternity, and lived and breathed it throughout college. brotherhood and bro code were probably the only things he took seriously?? also beer pong. any other drinking game was a joke. he’s such a frat bro, it hurts.

austin had always been the biggest little shit around. he could be pretty rowdy and immature sometimes, but it’s all in the name of fun. very much an act before you think type and landed himself in some hot water because of it. aside from being an entitled rich boy, he had a good heart and tried to be cool with everyone. he just acted like clueless frat bro with the mind of a twelve-year-old sometimes.

FAST-FORWARD  /  2010 - 2020.

graduated from RVU by some miracle with uh zero job offers because he’s austin caldwell! he doesn’t need to work! i hate him sm wOW. lived his best life doing dumb rich kid things for a bit until out of the blue, his dad was like, “enough is enough!” *record scratch* what now??

turns out his dad - flynn caldwell, famous rockstar with a bachelor lifestyle that rivalled john mayer and dicaprio - met the apparent love of his life, namsung ‘nora’ hwang. everything happened faster than austin had time to process it all and before he knew it, his dad was married and his new step-mom and step-brother, julian, had moved in with them.

it was like his dad had some sort of epiphany or wake-up call, and decided to finally step up and be the father that he should’ve been all along. no more weekly trips on the private jet, no more wild parties every weekend at the mansion, no more blowing his trust fund on whatever the fuck he wanted. it was like austin’s life suddenly came to a halt and he had to finally learn how to grow up.

except he never really had a good role model to show him how to grow up, so honestly, he never quite did. sure, his mom’s past connections hooked him up with a job as a production coordinator, but it felt like he was just going through the same boring 9-5 motions day after day. at thirty-two years old, austin was your classic case of a man-child, who had no fucking clue what was going on with his life or what he wanted to do.

it didn’t help that he never really got used to his new family ( not that he tried very hard ), and suddenly there was this perfect younger brother that he was always compared to. as time went on, austin felt more and more like a stranger in his own life. despite the additions to his family, somehow he felt even more alone and out of place.

but of course, in true austin fashion, rather than confronting these feelings, he just distanced himself from his family, including his dad. running away and pretending like he didn’t care was just… easier and felt like the one thing he was good at these days. just like when he was younger, he coped by distracting himself however he could - parties, booze, getting into dumb shenanigans. 

when he received the invite to the reunion, austin was stoked. he couldn’t remember the last time he was this excited for anything in his life. going back to RVU and seeing all of his friends again felt like just what he’d needed. but what he forgot was that his step-brother, julian, would be at the reunion as well.

waking up as if the past ten years never happened was mind-blowing. the fact that austin retained all of his memories was an even bigger mind-fuck. now that he was basically given a do-over, the logical thing to do would be to sort out his shit and figure out what he wants to do with his life. but of course, the austin thing to do would be to break-up his dad and step-mom before shit hits the fan again. 

FUN FACTS.

really bad with quotes. will quote ghandi even though 9.9/10 times, ghandi did not in fact say it.

obsessed with the fast and furious movies. frequently wishes he was brian o’connor. sometimes thinks he is brian o’connor. will absolutely be the first in line to watch the 24th movie and will also frequently quote the movies.

ironically enough, he’s a bad driver. like, really bad. took him nine tries to get his license. just picture cher horowitz’s driving tbh.

if there’s a party, you can bet his frat bro ass will get a beer pong tourney going. yes, even 32 y/o austin!! beer pong does not age discriminate! he’s not the best beer pong player in the world, but he’s got game. loves a good trick shot.

always down for a good prank war. famously known for being the guy that broke in and stole RVU’s rival school’s mascot right before a big game.

loves a good romance or rom-com movie. can probably quote from the classics. he just quotes a lot of shit i guess?? also a big taylor swift stan. he said fuck your gender norms, bro!

WANTED CONNECTIONS. most, if not all, of these could be from 2010 and/or 2020. these are just some general ideas & we can defs sort out the deets! i’m a h*e for angst & soft vibes, so let’s fuck shit up y’all.

BROMANCE  ━  every bro needs a bro. his partner in crime, ride or die, BFFL, bro-mate, PB to his J, whatever you wanna call it. can either encourage or discourage austin’s ~*~brilliant~*~ ideas, but either way, they’re always along for the ride. 

COLLEGE SQUAD  ━  throughout their college days, they were always seen together, whether it’s studying/”studying” in the library, getting crazy at parties or going on 3am adventures. could’ve even been housemates or something.

IRL SQUAD  ━  stayed ( or became ) friends post-college in the real adult world. weekly happy hour drinks while they bitch about their jobs, attempting friendsgiving like the adults that they are, etc.

CHILDHOOD ( BEST ) FRIEND  ━  grew up together and they’re basically each other’s number one since day one. austin doesn’t talk about his mom much, but maybe y/m was there for him when she passed.

MOM FRIEND  ━  because austin is a dumb child and needs someone looking out for him, even if he only listens like 10% of the time. just a scary mama bear / boss bitch who austin is a lil scared of, but obvs will never admit it. 

CONFIDANT  ━  not saying austin talks about his ~* feelings *~ often, but the odd chance that he does, it’s probably with y/m. they could just lend an ear, or be someone he turns to for advice too.

GOOD INFLUENCE  ━  the angel on austin’s shoulder basically. the voice of reason who will talk him out of getting into dumb shenanigans where he’ll a) hurt himself, b) get into trouble, or c) all of the above.

BAD INFLUENCE  ━  and ofc, the devil on austin’s shoulder. the person who encourages all of his bad ideas. probably even contributes a fair share of them. 

FLING / FWB / HOOK-UP  ━  someone ( or multiple someones ) austin often hooked up with at parties and whatnot. maybe he genuinely liked her ( and she liked him back? ), but he’s just too emotionally immature to be a good boyfriend.

EX-GF  ━  dated for a few months before she dumped him because he was a crappy boyfriend. it could have ended on good, bad, awkward, whatever terms.

SOFT SPOT  ━  maybe they dated, maybe they almost dated, maybe it was on/off. whatever the case, austin just can’t seem to shake y/m. he cares a lot for her ( possibly some strong lovey feelings were involved ) and will always be there for her no matter what. y/m could feel the same way, or just be leading him on. think peter kavinsky & gen sdlkgjdkg don’t come at me.

FAVOURITE ANNOYANCE  ━  austin loves to annoy y/m and get on their nerves just for the hell of it ( maybe he has a tiny crush ). will do just about anything to get a rise out of y/m and to rile them up.

ENEMIES / RIVALS  ━  for whatever reason, they just never clicked and/or rubbed each other the wrong way. every time they’re in the same room together, it’s big yikes and lots of tension.

ENEMY TURNED BEST FRIEND  ━  during college, they never got along, but somehow bonded post-college and now they’re super tight.
