SET THE NIGHT ON FIRE || CALEB CROSS

[caleb]

CALEB | JAMES | CROSS

THE BASICS

This is Caleb Cross. He's a sixteen year old fire student in eleventh grade. But that means close to nothing. What's important is that it's rare to see Caleb without a drink in his hand. And ten to one, if he's not drinking, he's probably already drunk. He's always looking to meet new people or do something fun, so there's a good chance that he'll be talking to strangers and trying to persuade them to come and party with him. And be warned, he's pretty persuasive. Caleb is prone to fist fights, and tends to have extremely destructive actions. But that's what he thinks being young is about, and it'd be hard to convince him otherwise.

THE FRIENDS

Caleb tends to befriend the kids that parents warn about. Anyone that can get him drugs, or who will drink with him into the wee hours of the morning talking about nothing at all is aces in his book. He's an easy person to get along with as long as you catch him on a good day. If he doesn't try to fight you, you're probably in good standing with him for the moment. Though he does like to roughhouse with friends from time to time. The most important thing in this category is that if you try to change him too much, he'll come to hate you quickly. So don't do that. Okay?

THE LOVERS

Caleb tends not to get into relationships easily, but I'd like to see him in one eventually. He sleeps around a lot, and likes that kind of lifestyle. Commitment is something that he's never had to deal with before, and he doesn't like the thought of it much. He likes to have a lot of friends with benefits, and I think one evolving into something more would be all kinds of peaches and cream.

THE ENEMIES

There should probably be a lot of these, because Caleb's attitude keeps good kids away, and he fights a lot of kids without a second thought. Needless to say, Caleb deserves haters. So have at it.

[STARK FROM JOISEY]

&&NELL
nell is the easily manipulated type, so i figured it would be fun to play that side of her. because she's a naive people pleaser, she could be swayed to provide him with smokes and booze. and like, this could be before she finds out he's fire or anything, and she just meets him and figures he's just a random kid. they could meet at a party or by some incident we orchestrate haha.

&&ALTAIR
altair would get along fairly well with him, i bet. as long as he doesn't cause her trouble with the alliances or being too much of a wild child. as leader, she needs to keep her peeps in line. but she'd totally just chill out and drink with him, though next year in college i see her being too cool for the high schooler. poor chase. </3

&&YEAGER
yeager would not like this guy. probably make fun of him, think he's a total dickhead and look down on him for his lifestyle. yeager drinks and uses a lot, but he likes to think he's responsible and he doesn't talk about partying much. he'd mess with caleb. with him. i see enemies here. and yeager's not afraid to fight, so it would be fun to pit them against each other.

&&MONA
mona is a ninth grade thunder and she's just entering the whole partying lifestyle. she's irritable and moody thanks to her mother dying. but i see her being one person he can manipulate a lot because she really wants attention. and she'd sleep with him and i think it would be interesting for her to develop a crush on him, but pretend that she didn't even like him aside for wanting to bone him.

&&ISRAEL
they're in the same grade, issy is a wind though.. israel is much more soft-spoken and calm. however, it'd be interesting if they were friends with bennies before issy was like "you're not good for me and i can't chill with you because i ain't into the shit you are" and like...cut ties with him. probably tell him that too.

[caleb]

NELL + CALEB

That'd be fun. Seeing as Cale isn't the loyal type, they'd probably get along decently, actually. Especially if she provides him with smokes and liquor. She'd be his favorite person to use in the world. Is she still a bartender? Because that would make things even easier.

ALTAIR + CALEB

I think they'd be pretty chill. Not besties or anything, but I could definitely see them hanging out. He'd probably respect the hell out of her, so she'd be a leader he'd actually listen to. Fun dynamic!

YAEGAR + CALEB

Definite enemies. Love it. Maybe they meet at a party and things just turn awful immediately? Something like that?

MONA + CALEB

I think I like this one most of all. Just because of all the drama that could ensue. Also, it'd show how evil Caleb really is, manipulating a freshman and such. So yeah, that seems exciting.

ISRAEL + CALEB

This could be really fun too. I like that it'd pretty much go from friends to fuck buddies to probably enemies, because Caleb would probably be hella bitter about that sort of thing.

If you wanna thread any of these, let me know.

[NELL DOE DALE]

&&NELL
wooo. <3 nell is loyal (but still friendly) so when she finds out caleb is a fire, she could be like "caution: if you think you can keep up with this, there's gonna be repercussions." which could create drama llama. and she actually works at the casino now, she's been through two jobs since bartending. >>

&&ALTAIR
haha he better respect the hell out of her! but yes, i agree that friends are good.

&&YEAGER
sounds like a great idea. yeager would immediately be like "haha look at that douchebag over there." or some shit like that. and be generally an asshole to him. which will be fun. >D

&&MONA
haha fun stuff! caleb's such a jerk and i love it. taking advantage of freshies. and if she ever admits that she's been crushing on him and he turns her down she will be so upset and he'll have to answer to her older siblings and i want that to happen real bad.

&&ISRAEL
i was wondering if caleb would be bitter, which should be fun because israel is gonna be dating an earth graduate, knox, soon. so more drama.


weeee could definitely start with caleb/mona. she's in need of threads. and i'm always up for threading with nell.~

[caleb]

NELL + CALEB

Wow. Looks like I'm pretty far out of the loop. Even so, I can definitely see some drama here, and I love it.

ALTAIR + CALEB

Sounds good.

YAEGER + CALEB

That'll be more than enough to start a good round of fisticuffs.

MONA + CALEB

He's the biggest jerk of all. So much so that I don't think he really would say no to Mona at first. If she admitted that she had a crush on him, he'd use her as much as he possibly could before leaving her. But yeah, sibling drama would be pretty great.

ISRAEL + CALEB

Caleb would be so bitter. And just a warning, there'd have to be some seducing on Israel's part for this one, because Caleb is kinda closeted about his bisexuality for the time being.

The Caleb/Mona thread sounds great. Would you like to start or shall I?

josh&caleb.

CLICK FOR BIO. You know my characters~. Josh usually clashes with yours and based on alliances and personality I don't see this being any different. Of course, he's nearly graduated from the Academy and I'm not sure if they'd really interact much at all </3

rowena&caleb.

CLICK FOR BIO. They'd probably hang around the same circles since they're in the same alliance and they both like to drink, though he seems to have more of a fixation with alcohol than she does. They could probably get along, especially if Caleb gets along with her sister.

ashton&caleb.

CLICK FOR BIO. He'd just avoid him, unfortunately. Nothing here. D:

caterina&caleb.

CLICK FOR BIO. Somehow I don't think so, but would he take a drama/theatre class?

annabel&caleb.

CLICK FOR BIO. Not sure about these two. He could kick her ass if it came down to a confrontation but I'm not sure how it would. There's always the old Water/pranks route though, if that would anger him enough? And messing with Annabel is basically a free pass to have Josh go for him too >>

I'm willing to thread with any of my characters! We can do more than one thread, just one, none -- all up to you!

[rose]

Caleb&Mika

Mika is a bit younger than him but she would be really nice to him at school. She is really bubbly and very girly. Though she has never been to a party before. She would find him really cute and might tell him so. They could be friends or flirting around but that's pretty much all I can think about not really good when it comes to making up plots. She gives everyone a chance so she would not mind that he is a fire element at all. If you want to know more about Mika I have a plot page for her. ^_^

[caleb]

JOSH + CALEB

Yup. I don't see these two interacting at all. But if they did, it wouldn't end well.

ROWENA + CALEB

I can definitely see these two as friends, but I don't see them getting close at all. Maybe just like party buddies?

ASHTON + CALEB

Avoidance definitely makes sense.

CATERINA + CALEB

Caleb definitely would take a drama class, because he'd be convinced that it'd be easy to pass. So maybe that causes conflict where he's not taking her class seriously?

ANNABEL + CALEB

I think conflict would be interesting here. Water pranks would definitely provoke him into something crazy, and if it opened thing up for a Josh + Caleb thread later, that'd be even better.

MIKA + CALEB

I can see Caleb definitely flirting with her a lot. If she thought he was cute and told him, he'd try to use her as much as possible, which could be fun to play out. It's up to you though.

If either of you want to thread, let me know.

[rose]

Mika&Caleb

that sounds prefect, i would love to rp. just pm me for who to make the thread ^-^

[STARK FROM JOISEY]

&&MONA
dude, gonna love this. mona being used is definitely a-okay in my book.

&&ISRAEL
if israel likes caleb, he gets what he wants lol. so yeah, bitterness is funnn.

could you start? everything can be up to you, like location and whatnot. i can barely function as is with this headache.

[TAYLOR THE CANADIAN]

rowena&caleb.

CLICK FOR BIO. Sounds good to me!

caterina&caleb.

CLICK FOR BIO. Oh she would hate that, it's a pet peeve of hers. She'd delight in like, being extra critical of his work trying to fail him because he thinks it's ~easy.

annabel&caleb.

CLICK FOR BIO. Sounds awesome!

I'm willing to thread with any of my characters! We can do more than one thread, just one, none -- all up to you!

[/quote]

[caleb]

Taylor + Caleb

I'd love to get to thread with Annabel first, because I feel like there's a lot of drama there, and because Caterina would be difficult to plot with until January rolls around. Would you like to start, or shall I?

[JOSHUA DONOVAN DALE]

annabel&caleb.

CLICK FOR BIO. How will we go about getting them together on the holidays? Would Caleb confront her outside of school if maybe she'd pulled a prank on him before it let out and he saw her at like, the park or the rec centre or something like that?

[caleb]

Annabel + Caleb

That sounds perfect, actually. He'd definitely willing to hold a grudge and pounce on her if he ever spotted her. So in that case, I think it'd make sense if you started, because then the pouncing could occur. Would you mind?

[/size]

[ROWENA AUDREY BENNETT]

annabel&caleb.

CLICK FOR BIO. Sure thing, I can start. Should I toss it up in the park or something?
