Dylan Calder
Gender:
Male
Age:
27
Appearance:
Dylan Calder is best described as scruffy. His hair is always long and unkempt, and he always has some resemblance of a beard. He stands at 6 feet and weighs about average for a guy of his stature. His eyes are a bluish gray color. He isn't overly attractive or unattractive, and he has never cared about his appearance. You'll usually find him wearing oversized clothes that need to be washed, if you don't see him in his fishing gear.
Personality/Traits:
Dylan is a gruff man who doesn't have much appreciation for the finer things in life. He believes that the best thing to feel in life is tired after a hard day's work, and he sets out to achieve that goal every day. He doesn't care for anything fancy or complex, and that include people (uppities, as he likes to call them). His only real friends are his fellow fisherman, and the people at the local bar. He loves nature, specifically the ocean. In his own words, the ocean is mother nature's favorite kid, and man is just a loud toddler looking for attention. He's fine going hours or days without talking, so long as he's working. Dylan hates being told what to do, especially when it comes to his magic. After a life of being told of all the responsibilities that he would have, Dylan said screw it and quit magic. He wants nothing to do with the Calder family of witches, and prefers to work with his uncle Clifford, also a fisherman, who does not have any magic. He sees magic as overly complicated with way too many rules. To him, dark magic seems perfectly fine. He can't see the dividing line between good magic and evil magic when it comes to his own personal use, so he decided to avoid the complication altogether. He also hates the fact that he is supposed to have a familiar.
Dylan was always a rebel. He acted out in school and certainly never paid attention to what other witches told him to do. He squeaked by to graduation from high school with low C's and immediately joined his uncle as a fisherman. He was given the Calder family grimoire but he rejected that too, and when he was 18 Calder threw it overboard while out in the middle of the ocean. It was his powerful symbol of rebellion... and was also pretty much cheating. Dylan can control water and he actually guided the book down to a specific spot, a sunken ship. He could get it back anytime he wanted. But, like he learned in high school, as long as they buy it, cheating is just another way to get through life. And Dylan loved the looks on everyone's faces when he told them that the Calder Grimoire was sitting on the bottom of the ocean floor.
It would take a lot to get Dylan to use magic again. He thinks that magic should be for his own good, normal or "black" magic. Unless someone could change his mind, he's happy living his life as a fisherman.
