...001. BRIEF HISTORY.
calvin grew up very underprivileged for the first 11 years of his life in brooklyn, ny.
his father died when he was 5 years old to a drug overdose, leading his mother became a single mother to him and his younger sister, essentially meaning that calvin had to grow up and be the โman of the houseโ without having a choice.
because of her new single-mother status, calvins mother had to work 3 different jobs in order for the family to pay rent (a cleaner in mornings, a store assistant in the day and a bartender in the evenings), which meant she was rarely home and left calvin to raise both himself and younger sister.
from a very early age, it was apparent that calvin suffered from anger issues, dyslexia and adhd, constantly getting into fights at every opportunity, his complete inability to focus and never managing to make it through a week at school without a phone call home.
these issues remained untreated, due to his mother putting it down to the โboys will be boysโ ideology, and concluding that calvin was just an energetic one at that.
because of this, calvin fell into the wrong crowd pretty quickly and settled into his mindset that he was never going to achieve all that much anyway, because no matter how hard he tried, he could never score well on any test at school.
at the age of 9, calvins mother met, fell in love with and soon married a former client for whom she cleaned for. ย calvins new step father was incredibly wealthy, due to being a successful franchisee and also being very largely into stock trading.
calvin, his sister and mother were all moved to his home in cherrybrooks, which calvin struggled to adjust to, as he missed his friends back north.
now having access to as much money as he want led him down an early path into experimenting with drugs and alcohol, which soon became a bad habit.
although he wanted to drop out of school, his new step-father would not allow it, which became a large source of conflict for the family over the course of the next few years.
failing to graduate high school at age eighteen, calvin couldnโt deal with living with his family any more and left the house to move into a small apartment, 30 minutes away, with a roommate (possibly a member of the clique).
calvins only real passions were for gaming and sport, and as he smoked and did way too many drugs to make it in any sporting profession, he turned his attention to twitch streaming. he began this pretty soon and built up a solid fanbase (which he wanted to call the marxists, but in calvins words, apparently some dead man already claimed that title).
...002. PERSONALITY.
calvin is a naturally angry person who can lose his cool and go from 0 to 100 in a matter of seconds, he rarely gives off signs that he is getting angry until he boils over, so people tend to watch what they say around him.
calvin is self-serving, his feelings will always come before those around him. although he is getting better at managing this, if something will result in calvin gaining something at the expense of somebody else, he will most likely go ahead with it.
calvin is not well educated, so he doesnโt tend to enjoy arguing with words, as he can never seem to find the ones to correctly express how he feels. instead, calvin is much more likely to act physically when something has irritated him (whether this be on a person or inanimate object).
calvin is an awful liar, he cannot lie to save his life as his face always tends to show when he doesnโt agree with an idea/opion/thought that somebody says. because of this, he is very outspoken, and will just say what heโs thinking regardless of if itโs going to hurt somebodies feelings. heโd rather upset them with the truth, than get caught out for lying.
calvin is an extrovert and gains energy from being around people - the more people the better, because of this, he has become a major party animal and loves attending any and all parties that is going on, despite if heโs fond of the hosts or not.
calvin is a heavy user of drugs, alcohol & cigarettes. this is primarily down to his naturally addictive personality and constant need to feel like heโs happy, so that he doesnโt get sad again. there will rarely be a day where he will not ย be intoxicated in some way and he will have a cigarette at least once an hour โ and thatโs on a good day.
calvin is very much into sports. although not a natural athlete, nor somebody interested in playing sports competitively, calvin loves watching any and all sports, and he likes to play them when he can. due to his smoking habit, he canโt play sports for too long, but will always give it a good go.
similarly to this, calvin is very much into gaming. calvin loves fast-paced games, because they manage to keep his attention despite him not having a very long attention span. most games that he plays are first person shooters, and heโs usually the guy on the mic screaming when a teammate fucks up during online play. a big appeal to him was that games were the only thing he could focus his mind on as a child.
calvin is very much a boys boy, he genuinely abides by the bible of โ bros before hoes โ because heโs stupid.
calvin hates movies but loves tv, he finds that watching moves involves sitting still for too long, but tv allows him to take more breaks and keeps his interest for longer. although. heโd probably trade both of them for a chance to leave the house.

...004. WANTED CONNECTIONS.
CURRENT BEST FRIENDS โ Possibly a boy squad? I live for a good boy squad. This person will have similar interests to Calvin, or be able to tolerate his volatile mood.
CHILDHOOD BEST FRIENDS โ Someone with a similar upbringing from Brooklyn, most likely they grew apart when Calvin moved to Wilmington.
RIDE OR DIES โ Although he primarily looks out for himself, Iโm down to have Calvin have one person who heโs loyal to and will refuse to betray, we can come up with a fun reason for why he cares so much if youโre interested in this one.
HIS ROOMMATE โ Somebody that moved with Calvin into his current apartment when he moved out at 18.
A GOOD INFLUENCE ON CALVIN โ One of my favorite connections for Calvin to have is somebody who knows all of his flaws and attempts to help fix them. Theyโll have to be patient, though, as Calvin doesnโt see himself for having any issues.
SOMEBODY HE IS A BAD INFLUENCE OF โ On the opposite, I love when Calvin has somebody that he can introduce to bad things, corrupt easily and get a kick out of watching the commotion.
EXES ON BAD TERMS โ Cheating on each other is usually an easy one to go with, but if you want, we can think of something more unique as to how it all fucked up and why they now hate each other.
EXES ON GOOD TERMS โ Maybe they still occasionally fuck? There could still be an attraction there, but just no romantic chemistry. Alternatively, they tried it and both just couldnโt see it going anywhere.
EXES WITH LINGERING FEELINGS โ Thereโs a ton of different reasons for why thereโs still lingering feelings. The feelings could be one-sided or both ways.
EX FLINGS โ Started as friends with benefits, one of them wanted more, the other didnโt, they decided to stop before someone got hurt.
FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS โ No romantic intention, just a good way to kill time at 2 AM, or maybe itโs easy to know you have someone to go home to if you donโt find someone at a party.
FRIENDS FOR NECESSITY โ This friend may not have that much in common with Calvin, they may not really get on in day to day life, but they are always there to get high, attend a party or do something dumb. an easy person to talk to when theyโre both bored and wanna get out.
HIS YOUNGER SISTER โ If anybody fancies a second character, Iโm always down to have Calvins sister in the roleplay. They can either get along or not, weโll just figure out the details.
EX FRIENDS โ Used to be close but now arenโt, plenty of reasons as to why.
ENEMIES โ Despise each other, seeing this person literally makes Calvins blood boil. Possibly sexual tension too if that would work, if not, they can just fight a lot.
WILL THEY / WONโT THEY โ Lots of leading on and teasing each other, maybe they both think theyโre stringing the other along but it turns out neither of them are interested? Maybe they start out not interested and it backfires later, by that time the other couldโve lost interest.
ANY OTHER IDEAS YOU THINK WILL WORK !
...005. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
Calvin is bisexual but heteroromantic, so any sexual-based connections can be taken by any gender.
