  Kaleb is a twenty-three year old that comes from a rather large family. He never feels as though he fits in anywhere, which bothers him sometimes but he tries not to let it get to him. He likes being different. Although he grew up in Elizabeth's Hollow and lived there until after graduating from EHH, he hasn't been around much the past four years or so. He ran off to the after graduation and joined a carnival, and has a knack for toying with fire and magic tricks. Kaleb doesn't ever stay in one place for very long, unless there is something holding him there. The winter carnival coming to town is what has brought him back, and if he had his choice he'd be up and running again as soon as it's over. However, he's currently grounded at the time being because his father has fallen quite ill, and family is something that is important to him, even if he isn't around as much as they would always like. He flies by the seat of his pants, and goes and does whatever the hell he wants to. He says what's on his mind generally, and more often then not, he swears like a sailor. He enjoys toying with people from time to time, and basically does whatever occupies his mind. Kaleb tries to live a life that he won't regret someday, and likes to take chances that come his way.
 Friends are something that Kaleb doesn't necessarily make easily. He's offbeat and some people don't appreciate his wit or wandering lifestyle. It takes him some time to truly trust a person, and those closest to him didn't get that way in a snap. Basically, Kaleb has two sets of friends. Those who actually know him and he confides in them, and then there are those who he can chat with, but don't actually know much about him at all. I can't see him having a whole lot of really close friends, because he's always been the type of person who's on the outside looking in, or that's how he feels anyway. Friends are always fun though, so any thoughts are welcome.
 Enemies are something Kaleb probably has plenty of. If he doesn't like someone, it's not something he hides. Bottling emotions is something he's never been able to do, and so if he has an issue with someone, he'll come right out and say it. That's not to say he doesn't hide certain things, but anger isn't generally one of them. He's sort of a strange guy, so there are probably some people who dislike him for being different. Perhaps there could be some enemies turned friends--perhaps someone who thought they knew what he was but get changed over somehow? Then there would probably be people who just flat out don't like him, or vise versa. If pushed, he has a really bad temper and wouldn't be above getting into a fist fight, if you so desire. As always, any ideas are welcome and encouraged!
 Kaleb is a hard person to tie down; he enjoys wandering and due to that, it doesn't leave a whole lot of time for anything too serious. Exes are something he would probably have. He really isn't looking for anything serious though, he's quite young and it would take someone really offbeat and interesting for him not to get bored, and even then it really depends on their chemistry. He's really not looking for anything in this area but who knows, things happen.

KALEB & AUGUST
Hi! I'm Tera.
Anyway, as for Kaleb and August, they'll know each other by association with Lily. Kaleb is her connection out of her world and August is her connection in it and because she's far more happier in Kaleb's company, he's going to continue being the jealous little brat that he can sometimes be. I think that at one time they could have tried to be friends? Like, Lily could have introduced them and they could have all been at some kind of event and August would have gone as far as to crack a joke about Kaleb being a "carnie" or would have asked him if the bearded lady was any prettier behind closed doors and he could have taken offense? I know Lily doesn't like it. There could be this silent one-sided battle (fought on Auggie's side) for Lily's heart. Hahaha. Long story short, jealousy about sums up what I have right now. What do you think?

AUGUST & KALEB
Hello Tera, nice to meet you, I'm Jen!
Attempting to be friends at one point sounds logical to me, since it's Lily I'm sure Kaleb would have given it a shot, but he doesn't put up with other people's crap if he can help it, so I can see that attempted friendship going sour quick. The term carnie doesn't necessarily bother him because he lets a lot roll off his back especially if he doesn't respect the person, but I could see that contributing to his...well, probably annoyance toward August. I can't see Kaleb liking him very much and I'm sure those comments didn't help any. He's not too quiet about his dislike for someone either so I wouldn't be surprised if Kaleb said something nasty in return and it probably all went down hill from there, if that works for you? I don't think Kaleb would really care if she hung out with August or not, as long as he doesn't have to see him then he could care less really. It would be interesting if, somewhere down the line, the three of them were thrown into a thread together. I'd feel bad for Lily! |

KALEB & AUGUST
That sounds perfect to me. Poor Lily, she should bring Kaleb to an event without mentioning it o August.

AUGUST & KALEB & LILY
Well if you really want to put poor Lily through a thread like that, what about some huge New Years Eve event where she brings Kaleb because he's back in town. Of course she tells nobody because she doesn't want her parents finding out and trying to tell her that she has to pick someone else to bring to the event not that she would listen anyway at this point. Kaleb sneaks Lily away to the roof to spend the last few minutes of the year and maybe August follows and New Years comes around there's fireworks and that whole superstition that you're supposed to kiss the person you're with when the clock strikes twelve for good luck or whatever and then jealous August comes out or something like that?

AUGUST, LILY & KALEB
That all sounds good to me, we could thread and then have August jump in once things get going on the roof? How does that sound to you, Tera? |
