History

Childhood

Caleb's childhood is as boring and normal as they come. Having an identical twin and younger sister to grow up with meant that he was rarely alone. While their parent's were at work the siblings would often play in the woods near their house, making forts and pretending to be on some great adventure. Despite their mothers warning not play in the forest they had gotten into a few close calls with the local fauna, ending in a few swift swats to their behinds once they were safe.

Adolescency

This was a tumultuous time for Caleb as he began to pull away from his family and become more isolated. He felt different for most his childhood and it wasn't until adolescence that he came to accept the truth of his bisexuality. His father took it the hardest causing a rift between the two as he felt ashamed of Caleb. For days his father would avoid him, never even looking at the boy. And although his mother and siblings were more understanding, Caleb made the decision to leave home. The first year was difficult for him as he made his way through the forests, living off the survival skills he was taught as a kid. But food was scarce and his ability to hunt was sub par. Having no real skills to speak of and desperate for gil he enlisted in the Eorzea militia. This in turn helped to keep him off the streets and make his coin sack a little more heavy. He would spend the next few years defending the borderlands from Garlean encroachment.

Adulthood

Years past and many battles were seen by Caleb, the pain of losing one comrade in particular however was more then he could bare. He had become very fond of another soldier, Adolston, who returned Calebs affection. The two became inseparable for a time ever at the others side in battle and in bed. Their relationship however would come to an abrupt end with one bloody skirmish with the Garleans. Adolstons death in battle sent Caleb into despair, and every battle after would only remind him of losing his lover. He chose to leave the militia and return to civilian life in Gridania. His coming home from the militia was first meet with a slap in the face from his mother, followed by weeping and a strong embrace. He knew before he left that it would hurt his mother, but the shame he felt at the time caused him to leave regardless. Only a nod was exchanged between him and his father as he still to this day continues to try and heal the old wounds.

Recent Years

In recent months Caleb is starting settling down from the life of a wanderer, to an apprentice at a smithy. He does not own a place of his own just yet, but has been saving gil to one day own a piece of land. He has also recently been reunited with most of his family, save for his father with whom he still has a very tense relationship with. But the wounds with the others have began to heal, and Caleb is making his best effort to ensure that they do. Caleb has also made a few new friends along the way.

Traits

Skills

Magic: Caleb is still new to what he would call "Finger Wiggling" but under the guidance of Ioakim Tarantella he has started to hone his ability to heal. He is also seeking to get some guidance from a former Commander he served under during the Garlean invasion, and learn how to weave magic to enhance his physical combat capabilities.

Swordplay: Caleb is pretty accomplished when it comes to the sword and shield, having been trained by a fine Paladin in his career with the Twin Adder. His hand to hand combat is average, getting basic training should the soldier ever be parted from his weapons during combat. His ability with a bow is about average as well, though he has not used the weapon in combat, the bow for Caleb as strictly been a means for killing game for food when he was out in the wilds. And his skill with other weapons is highly lacking since he has yet to branch out into other weapon combat.

Education: Caleb was put through basic schooling, thanks to his parents, and has the basic intelligence and knowledge that any schooled person would have. Though his accent might deceive others into thinking the man is less than learned.

Weaknesses: Caleb is a walking shield in combat who can take a hit and keep on ticking, however the man is not as quick as others, something he has been trying to improve upon. He is use to taking the hit for his fellow soldiers and so he is not particularly skilled with avoiding most attacks. If one can get past his shield they will likely find an easy target to attack.

Demeanor

Caleb for the most part is a quiet man who keeps to himself, especially when in big crowds. This might come across as his being anti social but despite the large man's appearance he is actually quite shy. He is also a very honest person and despises being lied to, while he does value truth he himself prefers to try and be tactful with what he says to others.

Caleb also has a streak of narcissism though nothing to extreme, he knows what he is good at and has no problems telling people so. He is also confident in his physical appearance as he puts a great deal of time and sweat into keeping in top shape, some of his outfits reflect this confidence by leaving little to the imagination. Caleb is also an honorable man and expects those around him to act honorably as well, though this has many a time blown up in his face and been the cause for tension between him and others who do not share his idea of what is "honorable".

But while the Highlander might come across as anti social and narcissistic he is loyal to a fault and would do anything for those he loves. Very few things will turn Caleb from his friends, and they can always rely on his support when they need it. He is also a very compassionate and empathic man, knowing when those around him could use an ear with sorting things out. While he might not seem like the most intelligent man, he has surprised a few people with his wit and insight into deep matters.

Relationships

Family Father: Cesar Agron Mother: Lelandra Agron Siblings: Caden Agron (Identical Twin), Anya Agron (Younger Sister)

Friends Berrod Armstrong: Caleb despised Berrod the first time they meet, his lack of tact off-putting the Highlander and giving him the impression that Berrod was only interested in conquest. After many run in's, however, he decided to take a chance and get to know the man better. The two were fiercely competitive with one another from the start, their alpha male personalities often causing conflict between the two and resulting in multiple fist fights. Despite this the two also shared a mutual respect for one another and have since become not only good friends but lovers. Berrod has made a profound impact on Caleb's current life, most for the better, while others torment the man and have pushed him multiple times to the edge. Gerik Aston: A good friend of Caleb whom looks similar to the man, the two have gone on a few trips together visiting their shared home in Gridania and relaxing on the shores. Gerik's carefree and seeming aloof personality draws Caleb into an "older brother" role, and on several occasions Gerik has acted as an anchor when times were difficult for Caleb. Corin Winterborne: Another good friend of Caleb's although the two have a rocky past to say the least. When they first meet Caleb viewed Corin as a threat to his relationship with Berrod as the two men were also very close. The three men having a very tumultuous friendship for a long time until it boiled over and exploded in a fight for their lives. Caleb had gravely wounded Corin so save Berrod, but in an act of desperation also managed to save Corin's life by tapping into his repressed healing abilities. After much time and frank conversations between the two, they have reached a mutual understanding and have forgiven past events, even becoming friends in the process. Obsidian Hornet: A fighter Caleb meet at the Grindstone Tournaments, this feisty woman has earned Caleb's respect and friendship. He often looks forward to seeing and competing against her on the sparing grounds. Gharen Wolfsong: A member of the Grindstone of whom Caleb has sought help from multiple times. Gharen has helped Caleb and has earned his friendship and respect, though he still hopes to challenge Gharen's fighting skills one of these days. (more to come)

Foes Currently Caleb Has no Foes to speak of.

Miscellaneous Info Actor who'd cast Caleb and Caden: Storm Newton-- http://i.imgur.com/p0ydkHk.jpg Theme Song: Bah! Character music is always so hard for me because it's difficult to find a single song that all around grasps a character. So I'm gonna have to pick 3 heh. The first being the "overall" theme song, I also picture this being what Caleb would sound like if he were to sing. Ordinary World The Next two are more "Battle" theme music but can still be applied to his theme as a whole. Master of Shadows League theme song Other: Special thanks to Blastedking for the awesome artwork of the Twins! And thanks to Kylin Felstar for allowing me to use his page as a template.
