Standing in the eye of the storm
My eyes start to roam
To the curl of your lips
In the center of eclipse
In total darkness I-
I reach out and   t  o  u  c  h
Well, I for one have always been a man who appreciates honesty. Maybe your most recent candidate for soulmate found it refreshing. Surprising, Iâm sure, but refreshing. His lack of laughter may have just been the pause of him processing the unexpected reply. Donât give up; there may be hope yet!
He left. There is no hope. I am hopeless and alone. Thanks for trying though - it means a lot coming from somebody of your... complexion.
Yep, theater. Iâve loved it since I was kid. Itâs a real blast. Thereâs just so much to see with theater, because theyâve covered so much throughout history.
I guess I never thought about it like that. So you learn a lot, huh? Thatâs kind of interesting.
Of course you canât force anyone to do something they donât want to do, but if it seems like the guy isnât for you, heâs not worth the effort. I say take the experience and learn from it. Youâll find an awesome guy who thinks you being nervous around them is cute, not weird or off putting. Itâs just a matter of being patient.
Well I mean, you could force them to do something they donât want to, but youâd just be an asshole. You know what, I bet heâs the kinda guy that washes his plate right after he uses it. I bet heâs never once placed a single dish on his drying rack. Boring.
Whatâs a Wind Walker? I have a life man, I donât really playâŠcomputer games? If thatâs what that is? Well if he was Mister Right, you may have to re-evaluate your taste in men dollface. He sounds like a total prick.
You donât know what--. Man. Itâs a good job youâre hot, boy.
I guess it depends on what kinda cheetos.. like⊠puffs are pretty good⊠my all time fave, though, gotta go with the paws. They were so fucking good.
Puffs every single time. Flaminâ hot, preferably. Although if weâre being honest Iâll take anything.
Oh please. You had a home with us. You were always welcome. Kurt and I were 11 back then. What were we supposed to do? We did the best we could. At least we didnât just disappear. You were the one who decided to walk away. You got let down? AwwwâŠKarma is a bitch, isnât it?
Maybe I didnât want a home with you - Iâm beginning to realize I made the right decision. Weâve been talking for a matter of minutes and Iâm already finding you insufferable.
Me? Oh hell no. I sweat like a fuckin pig, man. I could drown in that shit if Iâm not careful. After a class or like doing anything strenuous and itâs like I just got out of a pool. Iâm so gross.
This was fun - it made me realise how bitter Caleb is and also got me thinking more about aspects of his past.
1) Does your character have an alias (super or otherwise)? If they do, how did it come about? Did they chose it themselves or did another? If they do not, what would they chose if they needed one?
Yes - Lust. When he first discovered his power he went through an angry kinda phase and I suppose naming himself âLustâ was more of a bitter joke than anything. He developed PTSD after he was sexually assaulted, which lead to his hyper-sexuality. After a long time though, Caleb sort of snapped and, after deciding to isolate himself, he simply let the name stick.
2) Does your character have a power? Do they wish they did? Do they wish their ability was something else?
Caleb has sexual inducement. He wishes he had no power at all. He hates his own power but any other power would hold too much responsibility.
3) How did your character fall into the side that they are on? Have they even chosen a side? If not, why not?
Again, Caleb was bitter when he committed his first crime. His first victim was the officer that made light of Calebâs assault and failed to bring him justice, and he was humiliated and furious. Police officers have been his primary target ever since.
4) How does your character take the supers? Are they a sure sign of God? The next stage of evolution?
Because Caleb knows about Rydelâs power and alter-ego, he really doesnât see the supers as much different to anybody else, both because having powers just feels normal to him now, and because heâs seen Rydel in her everyday life. If anything, heâs a little jealous, feeling as if he pulled the shortest straw.
5) Does your character believe Supers to be âaboveâ those without powers? Either due to their abilities or another reason?
No, Caleb knows first-hand that having powers isnât the was they make it out to be in the comic books. He sees those without powers as the lucky ones.
6) What does your character think about the lengths that the Supers are willing to go to get what they want? Do they believe the destruction seen throughout the city during battles to be justified or the destroying of innocent lives?
Caleb sees battles as a huge waste of time and energy. Seeing his own crimes as an act of greater good (despite being seen as a villain), Caleb sees any other rebellions as selfish. He believes that, because he does not need to use his gift to accomplish what he wishes, neither does anybody else.
Iâm just now realizing that most things that Caleb does or thinks are fueled by bitterness. Caleb mostly doesnât think it right for the others to use their powers because he doesnât feel comfortable using his own and heâs jealous of this.
7) Does your character know of the seedy underbelly of New York (example - The Vendettasâ work)? Have they ever been involved in it or are they blissfully ignorant?
He does, but he chooses to live in blissful ignorance, too cowardly to help fight against a cause that he is so strongly against. Although he does this on a nightly basis, he feels that by fighting the Vandettas, he would be out of his depth. He is too comfortable with doing his âdutiesâ from afar.
8) Has your character ever come into contact with a Super? Did they aid or hinder your character?
He discovered Rydelâs power when he entered her apartment uninvited and she instinctual activated her power. This only made him feel relieved, having finally found the chance to share his own power with somebody he can trust. Not only this, but he was excited for somebody to finally know that âLustâ wasnât as bad as he seemed.
9) How does your character react to the fictional Supers they see in the media (such as Superman or the X-Men)? Do they hold the Supers they see in their lives up to standards derived from this media? Do they believe such media is helpful or not to the publicâs perspective of Supers?
Heâs always been a fan of fictional heroes and, even after discovering his own power, Caleb likes to lose himself in the comics. He particularly enjoys to read the X-Men comics, following the story line of finding a âcureâ. These stories simply keep his hopes high.
However he is yet to find genuine selflessness in the supers of the real world, so they do not live up to those in fictional stories.
10) How does your character react to the âHeroesâ in New York? Are they truly there for the people or working for their own agenda? Does your character believe them to be helpful or just vicious vigilantes who should allow the Police to do their job?
After his experience with the police, Caleb believes that anybody setting out to help actually has their own personal reasons; caring more about their own gain rather than the people. This includes the heroes.
11) What are your characterâs views on the âVillainsâ? Are they just the lowest of one group or are they a show of what all Supers are destined to become?
He finds himself feeling embarrassed by the villains, not considering himself to be one despite the rest of the city labeling him as such. However, he also finds himself wandering if they have reasons similar to his own, and are simply seeking revenge like himself.
12) How does your character feel about the fact that people have been able to require powers through science and procedures rather than from birth? Is this something that interests them? Do they think that science shouldnât be messing with such things or that it is just the next obvious step?
Caleb hates that people are voluntarily gaining powers when he has a power that he despises and has no choice but to live with (as far as he is aware). However, this also leaves him hopeful that this science could be used in the removal of the powers.
A family is supposed to stick together. And to disappear completely, without a word? That was rough. Also if you needed help yourself you could have asked us. Because - again - familly should stick together. So excuse me for being pretty much pissed.
Maybe I didnât want your help. I tried to find help elsewhere and I got let down, so I donât ask for help anymore. But thanks, honey.
I donât recall you helping with my dunk of a mother either, by the way, and we all know that was no secret. I guess we both overestimated each otherâs strength.
I mean you could have tried to correct it, by adding âbecause you/I am so hotâ but that might have made it worse.Â
Iâm really not that quick-witted. I mean, I think the fact that when I was asked how my day was, I couldnât think fast enough to simply say âfineâ like any normal human being says just about enough about how smooth I am.
Itâs hard to improvise when youâre that nervous. At least he canât say you werenât honest. On the bright side, if he is actually your Mister Right, something as simple as beginning on the wrong foot wonât spell an end for you two.Â
Caleb⊠I know itâs not supposed to be my business anymore but⊠how is Rydel holding up lately? I mean, I know sheâs got Candy around, so that has to help but I just⊠I donât know⊠I wanted to check.Â
Have her paintings changed at all? Thatâs usually a good sign if color starts coming back on canvas. Have you managed to catch any glimpses of her work recently?
Maybe, but Iâm not sure youâre the best person to give me advice on romantics...
Ryâs great, I think sheâs the best that sheâs been in a while. Not choking on her own heartbreak or anything like that. But then, you wouldnât know the first thing about heartbreak. Ignorance is bliss and all that. No, sheâs really good. Last time I checked on her, she still had a pulse so weâre counting each day as a blessing, you know?
Sheâs found a love for monochromes. Possibly the only love sheâll ever feel again.
Aww! Well, maybe he found it kinda cute even if he didnât think it was funny? If not, somebody else is definitely gonna find you dateable. Because you are. I mean, if I were the one you were hitting on, Iâd totally give you my number. Just wait and see. Somebodyâll like your adorableness, and they wonât mind one bit how sweaty you are.Â
Youâre too sweet. I hope youâre right; single player games are getting real boring.
