1. What position does your character sleep in? ( i.e; stomach, side, back, etc. ) Describe why they do this — optional.
Come morning, Caleb’s bed looks like a war has been fought there. It appears like his tossing and turning involves a routine of somersaults, leaving him to untangle himself from the sheets each morning. Though he starts curled on his side, he somehow ends up sprawled out like a starfish.
2. Does your character have any noteworthy features? Freckles? Dimples? A scar somewhere unusual? etc.
Caleb’s body is scattered with small scars collected in his childhood, though the majority linger around his knees and elbows. In his youth, days were deemed failures unless he was chased inside for the evening with a new bruise or scrape and a story to explain it.
3. Does your character have an accent? What does it sound like?
Caleb doesn't think he does.
4. Do they have any verbal tics? Do they have trouble pronouncing certain words or getting their thoughts across clearly?
If Caleb is in the mood for eloquence, he might pause to lace together perfect diction and flowery language. Otherwise, a few 'like's or 'um's might be scattered throughout his dialogue. Nothing overly abnormal.
5. What are their chief tension areas?
The space just below the base of the back of his neck and between the top of his shoulders.
6. If you were to pick one song — and only one song — to describe your character, what would it be and why?
Sleeping Sickness - City & ColourMaybe I'll sleep when I am dead but now it's like the night is taking sides And all the worries that occupy the back of my mind Could it be this misery will suffice? I've become a simple souvenir of someones kill Like the sea, I'm constantly changing to calm to ill Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole Oh, how I'm breaking down
7. How does your character perceive themselves? Positive? Negative? Neutral?
already answered
8. Are they a quick thinker or do they need time to sort through their thoughts?
Caleb is rather impulsive. He appreciates logic and taking the time to think things through, but often his heart overrides his mind. However, if something really does need careful consideration Caleb will take the time it deserves. For the most part, he acts first and thinks later, and then takes corrective measures to remedy his inattention if absolutely necessary.
9. Does your character dream or are their nights filled with an empty blackness? Describe a dream they’ve had or a night they couldn’t sleep and what they did to preoccupy their time.
Some nights are peacefully empty, and others are vividly wicked. If he can't sleep, he'll crack a window and stare out at the stars longingly, or slink down to the common room to take up solace with the other sleepless souls.
10. If they had a choice, would they prefer a subway or a bus for public transportation?
He would go with whatever his muggle companion decides, as it's quite doubtful he'd voluntarily board either on his own accord.
11. What do they think of creation? Do they believe in evolution or do they believe in God? What is their religion like?
Caleb isn't sure what to believe. It's purely logical that there's a greater being and can understand why others find comfort in the thought of one. He's decided that maybe something powerful launched the big bang, and nature and evolution took over from there. As for something like the 10 Commandments, he's surmised "Thou shalt not be a putrid waste of human skin."
12. Describe 5 unusual characteristics your muse has.
Caleb is an incessant doodler and often fills the margins of his notes with them. He will always preen his broomstick after any game or practice, coaxing any wayward bristles back into place. Caleb detests overly cold weather, and a sunny autumn day with a small breeze is his favorite. Even when trying to keep his composure, his eyebrows are particularly expressive.
13. Have they ever been so overwhelmed they had to stop and take a break from something?
Yes. If Caleb feels on edge or feels like something might happen, he has been known to slip away to regain his composure.
14. Are they a team player or do they prefer to be solo?
Although he loves himself immensely, Caleb definitely cares for the people he holds close much, much more.
15. Can they multi-task or must they focus on one subject at a time?
Caleb often tries to multitask, with varying degrees of success.
16. What are their best school subjects? What are their worst?
He excels at Charms and Transfiguration, though his Arithmancy skills need work.
17. Is your character an introvert or an extrovert? How do they handle big crowds of people?
Caleb is warm and genuine, and can handle a crowd decently. He's not a shrinking violet when there's an impromptu party in the common room if Hufflepuff wins a Quidditch match. If someone gets him started on something that he's passionate about, it can be hard to get him to shut up. From time to time, he does need some time alone or with a close group to decompress. Sometimes he just needs to be alone, but he always hate feeling lonely.
18. Are they a leader, do they prefer to follow, or would they rather just stay on the sidelines altogether?
Caleb prefers to follow, or watch how things play out and intervene when necessary. If he feels compelled to, he will speak up, but he won't fight to be the loudest voice heard.
19. If your character was suddenly challenged, would they rather run away or stay and fight?
already answered
20. If your character was allowed to murder one person without any consequences, who would that person be and why?
Undecided.
21. Your character has been granted 3 wishes; what would they wish for and why?
Stability, peace of mind, and a guarantee that everything will work out in the end.
22. Does your character trust people right off the bat or does it take them some time to warm up to someone?
Caleb tries to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and he's initially friendly and charismatic. It might take some time for him to let his guard down completely, but once he warms up to someone he nearly trusts them blindly until they do something to prove otherwise.
23. Do they prefer romance or affection? What is the quickest way to your character’s heart?
He much prefers affection. It might be shallow, but Caleb simply likes being liked. You can be affectionately friendly, and platonically cuddle, and there's much more love to go around that way. He's not opposed to romance, but he's not well versed.
24. Does your character have any enemies? If so, who and why?
Caleb firmly believes that enemy is such a strong word. He hopes that he doesn't have any, though he fully realizes that there are some bridges he didn't know he crossed until he crossed that should not have been burnt.
25. Do they have any weird bedroom habits? Any unusual kinks?

26. How does your character prepare for bed? Do they sleep at all or can they stay awake for days on end without trouble?
He has no particular ritual. He often stares at the ceiling, waiting for sleep to claim him. If it doesn't come, he'll cut his losses and find something else to do with his time.
27. If your character had one thing to say to their parents before they died, what would it be?

25. Do they have any weird bedroom habits? Any unusual kinks?
Caleb is definitely a cuddler and isn't well versed in the art of seduction.
27. If your character had one thing to say to their parents before they died, what would it be?
He's thankful that his parents took the time and cared enough to drag him to all of the doctors and specialists when he was younger to get his epilepsy under control. Hell, they even braved the muggle world a few times. They never took the disdain of the condition out on him, and for that, he's grateful. They were never perfect, but they weren't completely awful. He fully understands their urge to shelter and protect him, and though he often fought with his mother about his safety and capabilities, he would still want to thank them and say goodbye one last time.
28. Are they afraid of death? Do they have any regrets?
The thought of living an uneventful, unremembered life terrifies him more than the thought of death itself. Caleb wants to make a mark, somehow. Caleb tries to live his life without regrets, and tries to make peace with the day's events before he falls asleep each night. Asking what ifs and wondering what could have been never leads to anything productive and isn't the healthiest. However since joining S&B, Caleb has spent far too much time dwelling on things that might have been.
7. How does your character perceive themselves? Positive? Negative? Neutral?
I think it's very split, honestly. For so many years, Caleb has worked on finding self love and clinging to it. However, lately his faith has been shaken. Feelings of guilt and frustration keep bubbling up. He's always held his pride, loyalty, and morality in high esteem, but his confidence is evaporating, old loyalties are needed once more, and his morality is slowly slipping out of his hands.
19. If your character was suddenly challenged, would they rather run away or stay and fight?
It depends on what the challenge is. Caleb can be warm and soft, and unfortunately quite passive. However, he would definitely try to fix the situation first, and if that didn't work and if he possesses the conviction to do so, he will defend himself. Overall, he's not fond of conflict.
29. Does your character get restless when things are too quiet or do they favour solitude and silence? Why?
Caleb definitely gets restless. He has always been the type that needs to be constantly stimulated. Otherwise, he spends far too much time in his head overthinking every little detail. Lately, his internal dialogue holds quite scathing criticism. Utter silence only fosters that. However, sometimes he just needs solitude and a big book of broody, Romantic poetry. Keats is a particular favorite.
30. Finally; if your character was forced to eat one thing for the rest of their life, what would they choose and why?
Pizza. There are so many possibilities. If he has a particular craving for something, it can be a topping. From the classics to that one "dessert pizza" with chocolate sauce that a third year muggleborn whipped up in the kitchen one night. Caleb likes keeping his options open.
☆: Would they ever wish upon a falling star? If so, what would they wish?
The lonesome, solitary soul lurking under an inky sky belonged to none other than Caleb Perthshire. The castle, still quite imposing in the dark, was dimly illuminated behind him, and the stars stretched out into the horizon above and before him into the darkness. Restless nights coupled with a gnawing conscience had been plaguing the blond lately, and the crisp night air proved to be a distraction. Caleb was looking up at the stars, unaware of how fast or slow the night had gone. It’d been years since he’d taken the time to enjoy the stars, which was quite a pity. Many nights in his youth had been spent with maps and books to show him the different patterns in their twinkling paths. Many wishes had been thrust into the universe at their expense. A downward streak caught his attention, though a sinking feeling took the place of a wish. No star, falling or stationery, was going to grant a wish. There was no point to clinging to empty dreams and absurd fancies anymore.
