[/i][/size][/right]The Basics
Name: Callum James Welchert
Nicknames: Reprobate, Repro, or Ree
Age: 16
Orientation: Bisexual
Desired Rank/Job: Student
Powers: Dreamwalking
Play By: Andy Sixx
The Details
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Blue
Any Piercings? Snakebites
Any Tattoos? Two tattoos. One on each arm.
Any Scars? Numerous, but only a couple that are prominent, such as a long one on his shoulder from a wire and a burn on his hand.
General Appearance: Reprobate has a very emo/scene look. Often his clothes consist of blacks, grays, and whites. Most people would say he "wears his heart on his sleeve," but that's not actually the case. He just dresses how he sees fit.
Repro has a couple tattoos and snakebites. He got the tattoos when he turned sixteen and the piercings when he turned 14. He'd always liked snakebites and spiderbites, but the tattoos he got with his best friend. Or really, one of his only friends.
Reprobate comes to a height of only about 5'8". He's of average weight.
Repro generally keeps his head down in public, but if you're close to him or can get him to laugh, he has a wonderful smile. His whole face lights up.
Personality: Repro is very quiet. He keeps to himself. There are a few people that are very close to him, but other than them, Repro is a loner. He's not emo, and in fact, not emotional at all. He just doesn't have the greatest people skills.
Reprobate does not give advice well at all, partly because he doesn't allow himself to be near many people very much, partly because he's never really been an understanding or, frankly, caring person. He's not exactly self-centered, but he believes it should be every man for himself.
Because Repro is so antisocial, he gets extremely attached to the people he does become close to. There are only a couple of people that he hangs out with, but he would die for them if he had to.
Reprobate is a pretty nice kid if you take the time to get to know him. He has a good sense of humor. He enjoys company sometimes, depending on who the company is.
Repro feels no sympathy for the weak. It goes along with that "every man for himself" thing; if people can't support themselves, they can die. In short, he has no fatherly bone in his body. Since he keeps to himself so much, it just doesn't matter to him.
The kid lies well. he lies to get what he wants, when he wants it. He's not afraid to lie; in fact, a lot of the time, he enjoys it.
Being the antisocial little sinner he is, Reprobate makes a pretty good dreamwalker. He doesn't have many people to tell what he's seen, he respects privacy.
In short, Repro is a different kind of kid.

History
Reprobate did not have the most stable childhood. Leslie met James at a bar. She became pregnant with Callum James Welchert, a son she never wanted, after a one-night stand. She remembers nothing from it.
At six months Leslie attempted to drown Cal. She could barely support herself, she couldn't take care of a child as well. It was lucky that Alec, Leslie's brother, came and stopped her in the nick of time.
Callum does not remember Leslie's attempted murder, he's just been told of it. After he was rushed to the hospital by Alec he was taken from Leslie and chucked into a foster home. Andrea and Jesse took care of him and never treated him unkindly, but by the age of twelve Cal began showing signs of something not completely human.
Very soon after Callum's twelfth birthday it became apparent that he was no ordinary kid. Andrea and Jesse were told about Cal's odd qualities and the Hammel Institute. Both foster parents agreed that it was best Callum were sent to Hammel.
Cal was not all too thrilled about his newly acquired dreamwalking skills. He was an in-the-background kind of kid, which wasn't completely his fault. He just didn't like people much. Soon, though, he began to accept his power.
Coming to Hammel meant Callum could make a new reputation, but he didn't. He continued to be the kind of teen people would label "emo." Just as he'd always been.
Cal was dubbed with the nickname "Reprobate." It became what everyone began to know him as, including his professors.
Repro has been at Hammel for about three years now. He's just... Repro.
Roleplay Example
I'm just going to take a sample from a different site, the one that Repro originates from. It was a reply, so it may be slightly confusing, but it's the best example using Reprobate I have. If you want to get a better sense of what's going on in this, you can read the whole thread here.Repro had been in an unexplainable good mood today. He'd been feeling more social, more peppy, more happy then he had in a long time. He was just... he wasn't sure. Ready to take on the world. To be somebody.
But this was Callum Welchert, and these moods never lasted. Might as well enjoy it while he could.
Instead of being the little social butterfly Reprobate knew he should be, he was cleaning. To extremely loud music. He sang quietly along, picking up odds and ends from the floor of the Ares cabin. Skylar would give him endless shit if she saw him singing. She'd probably give him endless shit for just cleaning. But at the moment, he didn't care. Repro never had these moods, and as weird as it was for him, he was enjoying it. It would pass, though. They always pass.
Repro heard the door slam open against the wall behind it. He cursed under his breath and barely had time to glance over and see Pixel before she yelled something about playing in the snow and took off. He sighed inwardly, but at the same time could feel his good spirits go even higher. Spending time with Pixel was one thing he was sure he could definitely go for right now.
Reprobate slipped on his coat, switched off the music, and went out after Pixel. Sure enough, it was snowing. Pixel was standing in the middle of the commons, twirling around in circle. Repro could feel his insides melt. She was so... so... adorable.
"Hey," Repro said shyly. He knew he should be comfortable around Pixel by now, but, in truth, he wasn't comfortable around anyone. He was a social misfit, which he didn't necessarily mind. He couldn't help it. Even when he was in a great mood, he was still just Cal. Quiet. Easily overlooked. An in-the-background kind of kid.
Reprobate took a few more tentative steps forward. He didn't say anything else, but a small smile played on his lips. Pixel looked so happy.
For a moment, a bitter thought wedged its way into Repro's mind. Was the only reason Pixel had him come with her because there was no one else she really wanted to be with? The Dionysus boy was gone, the deaf girl always seemed busy, the robot boy was off doing whatever nerds did, and it seemed Repro was just... there.
But he shook his head slightly, reassuring himself. There were plenty of other people in camp Pixel would want to hang out with, but she was with him, and that was all that mattered.
