Caleb Maganti

An ex-Lieutenant with an attitude problem.

0 · 346 views · located in Main Street

a character in “The Multiverse”, originally authored by I'mLeavingNow., as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

Appearance: Image

Full Name: Caleb Maganti

Nicknames: K, Magi, and even LT.

Age: 29

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Height: 6'0

Build: Fairly lanky, but with clearly defined muscles

Scars, Tattoos, & Piercings: As for scars, Caleb has many, and he has no idea where some of them even came from, only that they weren't there when he started drinking...On the other hand, there are the thin scars decorating his hands and arms, that shine in stark relief under fluorescent lighting - training scars - there's the thicker, somehow more brutal scar, shaped like a rough cross, over his heart, scars from a cat o' nine tails down his tanned back, and lastly, a scar from a knife fight on the calf of his right leg.
Caleb has only one tattoo, a black stylistic sun inked into the back of his neck.
And lastly, Caleb has five thin metal rings piercing his right-hand eyebrow.

Occupation/Rank: He's an ex-Lieutenant and now is essentially an odd-job man.

Skills and Talents: Caleb is rather technically savvy, able to start up almost anything mechanical that's stopped working for a variety of reasons. He has also learnt to speak a few obscure languages, the knowledge of which he consistently uses to his advantage by...eavesdropping. He's a curious man. Caleb has also endured a considerable amount of training with a variety of weapons, but favours a simple auto pistol when he's not fighting hand-to-hand, which is his preferred style. On a different note, Caleb has some sort of residual magic in his blood, which has given him what he refers to as a Charm-Aura. If activated, Caleb becomes infinitely more interesting, appealing, and sexually attractive to whomever he's directing it towards.

Personality

Caleb can be tough, disciplined, and loyal. But he also has a real, major problem with authority figures, and tends to do whatever he feels like doing and damn the consequenes. He also rarely says no to any offer that has the potential to be life threatening. Lacking purpose, Caleb tends to drift until the next interesting thing comes rolling along. And when he drifts, he drinks, and when he drinks...Well. On the other hand, Caleb is fairly sociable, although prone to sarcasm, and prefers his own company - long term - to that of others.

Fears: Perhaps oddly, needles and slavery.

Likes: Alcohol, books, and music.

Dislikes: Early mornings, training sessions, and bright light.

Equipment

Weapons: He carries an auto pistol and several clips of ammo, and a set of knuckledusters.

History

Caleb was born in a city that he calls The (insert swear word of choice here) Imperial City, with a good deal of sarcasm laced into the short title. He refuses to elaborate further when questioned, mostly because he can't actually remember any details. What he does remember - and there aren't any records of this stuff - is that his mother left her newborn baby with his father to re-join the gang she had departed when she got pregnant. An only child, Caleb was brought up by his hard-working father, who was easily able to support them both through long hours and determination.
Aged eighteen, Caleb was enrolled in what was essentially a University, which he refers to fondly as The Hive. There, he learnt, perhaps rather oddly, that he had a Charm-Aura, which he has been unable to trace to its origin in his lineage, all of which are normal humans, various languages, and how to defend himself. Five years later, he graduated with high qualifications, and immediately entered into The City's Imperial Army, as, essentially, a bog standard soldier. At that time, he became remarkably proficient with a rifle, but never grew fond of the long distance weapon. He remained in the Army until two years ago, when he simply...quit.
Since then, Caleb has wandered from world to world, paying his way through a variety of odd jobs and simple thievery. Caleb is well aware that he now has a criminal record, but that doesn't bother him in the slightest. What does bother him is staying ahead of the scouts still searching for him; searching with the intention to drag him back to the Army he deserted.

So begins...

Caleb Maganti's Story

Caleb Maganti stared at the door to the bar with some trepidation. Each time, this was the same. His longing for a drink tempered by his fear that this would be the bar they would be sitting at, waiting for him with that calm expression they always wore. Their heads would turn to him, and slowly, slowly, they would smile, and he would run, knowing it was futile, but unprepared to go quietly. He would run, and he would fight, but they would catch him in the end.

Get a grip, Maganti. Jeez. Squaring his shoulders, the man took in a deep breath, checked his pistol was still in the pocket of the black trench coat he habitually wore - it was - more to calm himself that due to any real need. A few hours ago - or was it days? He wasn't sure - he'd checked and cleaned the weapon, and he hadn't touched it throughout the long trip.

"Paranoid idiot," he muttered darkly, taking the steps towards the door of the bar. Almost as he did so, a few...beings came flying out, and he stepped to the side to avoid being trampled over. Caleb didn't get a good look to see what they were, but he wasn't particularly concerned. This was a bar, after all. It was commonplace for people to come and go.

Caleb opened the door and stepped inside, booted feet immediately transferring residual dust to the flooring. Allowing the door to close of its own accord, Caleb strolled casually, face carefully impassive, over to the counter.

Caleb stepped up to the bar counter with his usual eagerness at the proximity of alcohol once again in full swing. On stepping inside the building, he'd conducted his habitual sweep to count the number of people - a job made infinitely easier by the fact the bar wasn't nearly at capacity - and only then had he considered moving forwards. And just when he had, some thing had gone essentially hurtling by him, with a distinct burning smell that made Caleb falter, for a moment.

But then the memories had faded almost as quickly as they had come, and he'd thus stepped up to the counter and made his decision on what it was he wanted to drink. He was unsure as to whether they'd serve his favourite in this kind of bar, but resolved to order it anyway. Hey, you never knew with places like these.

Sliding onto a stool, Caleb allowed himself to finally relax as he waited to get served.

Caleb allowed the voices of the surrounding patrons to wash over him, lulling him into real, genuine relaxation. They would never be able to find him in here - one look inside and they'd be gone, to the next world and the next target. Caleb had actually seen the list, the list of those outlawed by the Army, those destined for the death penalty after they'd been dragged Home for judgement. His name had been newly inked in at the time, and he'd reasoned that the list itself had been thrust in front of his face to scare him more than anything else.

It had, that couldn't be denied, but it had also filled him with an iron-hard resolve. He would not go quietly and he would never go back. Blinking to keep himself awake, Caleb tapped on the counter. "I'd like a measure of Jack Daniels, or whatever sour whiskey you have, please," he requested.

While the...action was taking place, Caleb had remained on the stool he had chosen, his dark eyes lidded but alert as listened - without bothering to turn around - to what was going on. Thankful that none of such attention was on him, he had nevertheless seriously considered also getting involved, his right hand resting on the butt of his auto pistol, concealed in one of the large custom-made pockets in his coat.

But then Caleb considered the ramifications of such a decision, and swiftly made the decision against it. He'd been ahead of his pursuers for some time now, and had no wish to hand the advantage back to them. Moving his hand from his weapon, Caleb made a rather different decision. Looking both ways - you never knew what could happen in this kind of situation - Caleb moved first to the side of the bar, and then headed for the door by moving carefully along the wall.

"Lovely place," Caleb muttered sarcastically, reaching the door not without effort - he'd come to what was essentially an emergency stop just seconds earlier when what appeared to be heads hit the wall uncomfortably close to where he was walking. "However, a little noisy for my taste." He knew that this small bar fight would reach the ears of his pursuers, and he had no intention of hanging around to wait for their customary investigation - they knew he frequented places such as these.

With that, Caleb opened the door swiftly, and stepped out, inhaling a deep breath of the decidedly cleaner air.

"And here I was, thinking it couldn't get worse." Caleb had entered the side alley almost by accident on emergence from the bar, hoping for a bit of peace and quiet. While he'd been in there, resting, a headache had formed and grown like some malignant beast, stabbing away at his temples whenever there was the least bit of noise. And considering what had just gone down in there, it was now reaching almost unbearable levels.

But it seemed like here wasn't the place for a nap. Caleb had no intention of booking a room at the Bar - that was just asking to be caught - so he'd headed out here with the intention of finding some quiet doorway and sleeping under his coat. But now..the smell of blood was a little too prevalent for his delicate head.

Caleb turned to go, letting out a sigh.

Caleb stepped out of the side alley, glancing up and down the street. When he didn't spot the horribly familiar uniform that he'd half been expecting, he took a more enthusiastic step, and stuck his hands in the pockets of his coat. His right hand rested comfortably on top of his auto-pistol, his left on his trusty knuckledusters. It wasn't that he was expecting to be attacked here, it was just the way that Caleb operated. He was most comfortable with those two weapons close at hand.

Paranoia, he informed himself mentally. Just as he was about to make some sort of argument in reply to that internal voice, he heard the sound of someone running. He glanced up, didn't immediately spot anyone, and shrugged it off. They were probably heading in the other direction.

Trudging. That's what I've been reduced to.

Caleb was, in fact, trudging. After developing some renewed enthusiasm about the area, Caleb had begun a gentle, casual stroll, but since then, his good mood had quickly evaporated. Sticking to the shadows, he relied on the black of his trench-coat to help him blend in to the general surroundings as he passed various other people. He had no intention of actually conversing with any of them - he just wanted somewhere to...

Caleb tripped, flailed, and caught himself against the wall, managing to slam his hand down on what was essentially a spike. "Bugger!" The first angry word slipped free of his iron-hand control, and was followed by increasingly incensed curses as he caught his balance and examined the hand in question.

"Jeez. You come outside for some peace 'n quiet and...this is what you get." Now seated on a bench that he'd found to be miraculously unoccupied, Caleb was viewing the nearby 'hi-jinks' with a healthy dose of cynicism and a worsening mood. His headache was now thumping around in his temples unhindered, and coupled with the sharp pain still resonating in his hand, it was becoming increasingly difficult to improve said bad mood.

That considered, Caleb was, at least, fairly relaxed, certain that in such a situation, his importance level was below zero.

Aneres Coreveon wasn't dressed as obscurely as she would have liked to believe. The shimmering white kimono-style overlayer embroidered with golden moons down the sleeves, the long-hemmed fringe coming to rest just above the hemline of golden bell-bottoms. Beneath was a plain white top. A golden chain poked out from the collar but the rest of it was tucked beneath the shirt.

There was nothing Aneres could do about the bodyguards who followed her, but she had grown used to that to some degree. At least they let her style them at this point. It made everyone's job easier.

Aneres flicked golden braids to look one way up the street, then the other, then back again. A grunt from one of the bodyguards signaled that it was alright to cross. Halfway across the street she felt a slight tremor of energy. The bodyguards picked up their pace and hurried Aneres across. She didn't protest. They came to stop a stone's throw from a mercedes, a man perched atop the back.

"Did you feel that?" Aneres asked the man, half looking down her nose despite the fact that he was literally seated higher up than where she stood. Her tone wasn't pretentious but there was something about it that dripped with royalty.

"Bristol, very nice to meet you," Aneres extended her own hand and delicately gripped his. She frowned upon hearing that he didn't know what it was either.

"I am Aneres, as I prefer to be called," She regally addressed Bristol with a smile, "Princess of Aurealas. A pleasure to meet you. Is that what brings you here? Looking for the source of the disturbance? I will admit I haven't felt it anywhere else but here."

One of her Over's coughed. She rolled her eyes. They were always concerned she would reveal too much. Aneres had yet to do so.

As Peter continues down the street in his heavy armor, he glances around. He's searching for someone, even if it takes him forever to find them. All he knows is that they're somewhere in this city. In his momentary thought, his eyes pass over a few people, one of them being the very person he was looking for. They should recognize him easily enough, though, so maybe this mistake won't cost him anything. He turns on his radio, rapidly tuning through frequencies until he finds one, a simple music station. He listens as he advances further down the street.

In a little cafe, just the other side of the border...
