Tall and lanky, Caleb has always felt out of place in his family, and this has quite a lot to do with his appearance. He doesn't have the broad shoulders and strapping good looks of his dad, and his mother and sister's tan skin and dark hair completely skipped him. In fact, a number of people have asked if he's adopted. In truth, all resemblance to his family is seen in the way he walks, talks, and carries himself. His posture is rigid, and he walks through people rather than around them. His voice holds an authority that makes people turn around and listen. That's all from his dad, not that he's willing to admit it. He does have a tattoo of a lighthouse (shhh) on his ankle, which is why he wears pants or high tops most of the time. He dresses quite fashionably, expensive sweaters and jackets, and many think him to be a young substitute teacher when they're meeting him for the first time at school.

Arrogant. Bossy. Demanding. Annoyingly intelligent. And manipulative as all hell. The first things anyone will ever tell you about Caleb Helmsley. In their defense, it's all true. Caleb is the kid in school who's always the group leader, not only because he's probably the smartest kid in the group, but also because he's been kissing the teacher's ass for the past three months. He knows exactly how to get what he wants, and he's in no way, shape, or form afraid to do said things. He's a ruthless little bastard, but who can really fault him.
Another thing on the long list of things that Caleb is that rubs people the wrong way, is his bossiness. He runs everything like a dictatorship, and in his defense, it works. His group of friends, while near and dear to his heart, get shunned when they piss him off. His newspaper staff is constantly churning out award winning stories because he won't accept anything less. Sure, plenty of people despise him, but to Caleb, it's all just another step on the ladder to success. He doesn't pull punches either. He's harsh, just like the truth that he often spills.
All this makes Caleb seem like a pretty irredeemable asshole. And he sort of is. But he does have a heart, hidden away, very deep down. He's a loyal friend, all be it a very rude one, but he's still a loyal one. He really does care about people, he's just utter trash at showing it any other way than getting on their ass. He cares incredibly deeply about an incredible amount of things, which is something that most people don't really understand. Going hand in hand with this caring, he's a hopeless romantic, and a passionate one at that. He gets very attached to his significant other, and is a tad jealous as well, though he's rather embarrassed about that. In short, he's a big teddy bear in a very, very thick shell.

Life has been cushy for Caleb. He's not oblivious. He recognizes that he and his sister have had it relatively easy. Born the youngest twin, Caleb has always had it easy. His childhood was a breeze, jetting around the world with his family, seeing things that most people would never lay eyes upon. He enjoyed it immensely. Followed by paparazzi and spoiled by his mother, his first ten years in the world were probably his favorite.
After that, his life became slightly more rooted in reality. Moving to Lakewood he proved himself to be more than competent in the classroom, and showed off his finesse with words, and his charisma. Kids flocked to him, and it was clear that he loved it. His home life was slightly less...shiny. His parents were gone often, and when they were present, his father was always rather distant. This didn't lead to any affection between the two, something which is clear in Caleb today.
As he grew, so did his mother's fame, his father's money, and his own ambition. His freshman year was one of great change. Joining the Lakewood High Gazette was his first real success, the choice that led to where he is now. Growing up in such close proximity to the corruption that wealth caused, Caleb sought to expose the secrets of the rich and somewhat famous, but when the paper refused, he took matters into his own hands. He built the Lakewood Scandalmonger, the Gossip Girl of Lakewood, the place where anyone who's anyone has their life displayed.
Caleb's kept the Scandalmonger a secret, from everyone but his sister, and he's run it well. It's Lakewood's guilty pleasure, and he suspects the only reason it hasn't been shut down is because too many people love it. Caleb has built himself up into a powerful pillar with not only the Scandalmonger, but also with the Gazette, and as the editor in chief, he has an unprecedented amount of control over the school, and what they do and do not see. Where to next? He hasn't a clue, as long as he's on top when he get's there.
