"The workplace should be right around.. Whoa.."

Calum halted at the sight before him, lowering the missive he was reading. Well-tended flora of varying ilk and vivid colors pervaded the green fields. Atop the inclined path lied a rather crude shack, which appeared to embrace the very nature it stood on. If it wasn't for the smoke emitting from its chimney, it would be easy to assume that it was abandoned. Still, everything about it felt... natural. The morning breeze that he felt brush past his being only complemented the invigorating vibes as he walked up the path towards his destination. It was going to be his very first job; the feeling of uneasiness inching on him like a bug. Nevertheless, it was one that he had decided on.

A chance for fateful encounters. To soar through the skies. To find one's own happiness through witnessing another's smile. A simplistic, yet wholesome dream for some, even if considered childish by others.

Arriving at the end of the walkway, Cal finds a young woman; a damsel possessing ashen hair and looking the same age as him. Their eyes met not too long after, and thus a greeting was inevitable. "Good morning to you, miss! I, uh.. assume you're here for the same reason as I am?" The two made light conversation, before more figures came one after another. And by each one arriving, he couldn't help but feel a slight sense of discomfort. He was honestly expecting a more gender-equal ensemble, and this was quite the surprise.

"Erm.. I suppose introductions are in order, huh? Alright then, I'll start! Name's Calum. Calum Pierrepont. Folks call me 'Cal', so feel free to do so as well. Here's to hoping we all get accepted, yeah?"

The exchange picked up and continued from there, up until a certain point. The slight creaking of the door made the ashen-haired Emi shriek by surprise, and the others in tandem. "Y-you're joking.. right? T-the house can't possibly be haunted.." The sole male uttered with shaky breaths, a tad nervous when Emi slowly peered into the darkness.

And, like a scene from a horror flick, it happened.

"UWAAAH!" A figure bound from the doorway, causing his body to jerk backwards by instinct. His precious brown hat parted from his head and he almost lost his footing, like Emi just did. His wide-eyed gaze was glued to the culprit; a dog. Inconsiderate to the people it had just frightened, the creme-colored furball ran towards the greenery and frolicked about. His heart was beating fast, his right palm planted on his chest and he was struggling to catch his breath.

"Man.. Not.. a big fan of.. jumpscares.. Hah.. Little fella almost gave me a heart attack! Ahaha.. Hahahahaha!" Cal burst out laughing, realizing that he likely screamed the loudest of them all; the man among the women. He bent down to pick up his fallen hat, returning it to where it once was. "Well, that was embarrassing! Let's just move on and forget that ever happened?"

He did his best to save himself from that embarrassment. He really did.

Ban the Person above you

Banned because you interrupted mine and mister @Strange Rodent's conversation.

Ban the Person above you

Banned for having a significant post amount-to-days existed ratio.

Ban the Person above you

Banned by someone else because you two have been banning each other back and forth. A nice change in pace wouldn't hurt.

_Name

Calum "Cal" Pierrepont

_Age

19

_Gender

Male

_{Physical Description}

Cal is a young, effeminate adult of below average height (5'6), and lithe frame. His short, unkempt black hair is accompanied by a medium-brown hat. Has a fair complexion and rather squinty baby greens. While used on occasion and can see without them, Cal has a notable pair of black glasses.

What makes Cal stand out amongst his peers is that his postman attire is covered with a brown poncho draped over his shoulders. He does temporarily part with it along with his hat when he travels, as to not be blown away by the wind. They evidently hold sentimental value to him; precious gifts from his distant father a year ago. He has continued to wear them with pride since then.

_Personality

A gleaming youth who's defined by his near-perpetual state of cheerful, almost melodramatic vibrancy, Cal takes life, cherishes it, and does his damnedest to make sure that the people around him do the same. Cordial to a fault, he profoundly values the notion of camaraderie and family. His moment of theatrics do tend to irk some, in which he'll quickly apologize and tone down his antics. To his credit, Cal can be serious and reliable when the situation calls for it. His answer to the call of the EMS is purely driven by altruistic motives; his family once being recipients of a life-changing letter delivered by that very same company. Nothing's a loftier purpose for him than making friends and making other people happy.

Much of Cal's present nature had only manifested quite recently after recovering from a great ordeal that his family had suffered from and taking a turn for the better. His mother's family (uncle and grandfather) were major catalysts to his character's development; their optimism, quirks, and valuable lifelong lessons gradually rooted on him as they worked to inspirit his mother during her days of depression.

Being more attached to home and his mother most of his childhood, Cal had little interaction with children his age. Even now, it's easy to spot lingering moments of genuine awkwardness from his otherwise forced, exuberant persona. He is also easily driven by his emotions; most likely ending up as the first to cry at the sight of a heartfelt scene. Romance is a genre he's explored in his bookish ventures, but never personally delved with and as such, is very modest and shy when confronted with the topic.

_Biography

Born and raised in the county of Cornwall, UK, Calum Pierrepont has had a decent upbringing, for the most part. He had very loving parents, was properly educated and had an unperturbed, if sheltered childhood. Most was well, except for one thing, which started as a small dent in their family's relationship and, in due course, expanded as a wide rift. Cal's workaholic father (Abraham "Abe" Pierrepont) wasn't around much, on account of his work and having to constantly switch to faraway workplaces. His mother (Mila Pierrepont) had to quit her own work in order to take care of him. Still, Cal had always admired how hardworking his father was, longed for the days when he would return home, and his faith never wavered. And supposedly, so did his mother.

Eventually, the company Abe worked for promoted him and became one of its leaders. In turn, he grew even more invested and passionate in his line of work, which stemmed from his own father's assiduous work ethic. The days that he would come home became even less. And this meant that he grew more distant from the his son and wife. This culminated in an unfortunate fallout, and then divorce. Obligated to stay with his mother, there was no longer a reason to stay in Cornwell and the two of them migrated to the small island of Erusea, where Mila's family resided.

A few months have passed since they moved at the island, and Mila was looking even more downcast after their divorce. Realization struck: measures could have been made to prevent their separation in the first place, which they were blind to. His mother's progressively wavering faith and accumulating impatience, his father's extremely skewed priorities, and his own inability to take action. Cal spent his days being by his downhearted mother's side; his resolve and nature slowly but surely nurturing in no small part due to his uncle and grandfather's efforts.

A letter and package arrived at the family's doorstep on Cal's 18th birthday, courtesy of the Erusean Mail Service, and it came from none other than Abe; the first time he's ever done so to communicate with them. The letter in summary pertained to how deeply regretful he was, how he misses the two of them, and how he wants to start over. It was clear that his parents still truly loved each other, despite their remoteness. The package came with a clean, brown hat and poncho, which he immediately recognized; the plain-looking but rather expensive leather garments that he really fancied but unable to afford.

In time, the family's relationship mended itself, letter after letter that had been sent back and forth between the family. After everything that had transpired, Cal had realized the grave importance a letter holds, and how keeping in touch with loved ones was paramount. As he waited for the day that his mother and father would reconcile and re-marry, Cal has decided to become a postman for the Erusean Mail Service as a start; to make sure that each letter, with everything that it entails, was securely passed on to their recipients. He was resolved to explore his boundaries, live his life to the fullest by making bonds, and making other people happy.

_Biography

Born and raised in the county of Cornwall, Calum Pierrepont has had a decent upbringing, for the most part. Both his parents loved him so, he was properly edified, and a mostly unperturbed childhood. Most was well, except for one thing, which started as a small dent in their family's relationship and, in due course, unfurled as a big hole. Cal's workaholic father wasn't around much, in account of his work and having to constantly switch to faraway workplaces. His mother had to quit her own work in order to take care of their son. Still, Cal longed for the days when his father would return home, and his faith in him never wavered. And supposedly, so did his mother.

Eventually, the company his father worked for promoted him and became one of its leaders. He grew even more invested and passionate in his line of work. The days that he would come home became even less. And this meant that they grew more and more distant; not only physically, but emotionally as well. This culminated in an unfortunate fallout, and then divorce. Obligated to stay with his mother, there was no longer a reason to stay in Cornwell and the two of them moved to the small island of Erusea, where his mother's family resided.

A few months have passed since they moved at the island, and Cal's mother was even more downcast than before after their divorce.
