Abilities

• Innate
  
• Bilingual - Callix's grip on the English and French is much more solid now, being able to switch between the two at will. He is able to understand both languages being spoken to him as well, but is more prone to his native language when angered, or he is at a loss for the correct English word or phrase. He prefers to speak in French, but knows not many Fa'e, if any at all, are versed in the language. His accent is moderately heavy, and will probably always have it due to none of his family members being able to communicate with him until he begrudgingly learned English.
  
  
• Flight - A much easier mode of travel now, though he's still practicing. His wings are finally large enough for some real flight, though he prefers an easy glide.
  
  
• Heightened Sense - This ability only applies to the detection of females through the use of various senses (sight or smell, for example). Callix can 'see' or sense when and where females are present. This ability has only been in use since the haunting of the HQ during Halloween, and cannot be 'turned off'.
  
  
  
• Magical
  
• Charm - The charm is one of Callix's more involved powers, allowing him to cloud the thought processes of intended female targets (males are immune to this power). It may come in the form of giddiness or hypnotism, depending on the willpower of the target. Usually triggered or used in the form of a question or suggestion, females under this power are more suseptable to his will. This power is undetectable by the naked eye, and females with strong minds can resist this power.

Personality - Very charming, handsome and manipulative. His Guardian is unaware of his growing ulterior motives, instead being coaxed into doing things for the little Incubus. Callix's love for females is one of his primary driving forces, having influence on many of his decisions. His stronger language skills and better understanding of social interaction allow him more information to work with in his daily life. He is quiet and introverted when alone, antisocial and rude among men, and bright and vivacious around females.

His main weakness lies in his vanity. He is more prone to flee than to fight in order to preserve his looks. He might get a few kicks or scratches in, but he was not built as a fighter. Scuffles might send him packing to the washroom to check for broken nails, bruises and blood. Older men with more muscles intimidate him greatly, and he tends to avoid them like the plague, but if the combatant is more his size, he might fight. He calls himself a 'self-preservationist' rather than a coward, and he'll insist on it.

Callix would go out of his way to taunt or belittle other men, especially in the presence of women. He is selfish and egotistical, and would stop at nothing to grab the attention of a woman. He prefers to think of himself as an actor, molding himself to whatever a woman may value most. He can be many things, but monogomous he cannot. Callix strives to live for the moment and be what he naturally is, no matter who or what disagrees.

Brief History - Loves to be around female most of the time, though we think it might be because of a female's loving nature and their high-pitched voices. He loves to be the center of attention, flapping his wings or blowing bubbles to do so. Seems to like dancing and music, as well as flowers and perfume.

His attraction to women is much more apparent now, along with his attention to his state of being. If he is dirty, he demands to be cleaned and perfect, especially with an impending playdate. Callix still loves to be the center of attention, but can now actively seek it. His tiny ego seems to be building.

Callix grew into a kid! After a confrontation of sorts with the shadow that had been stalking him for quite some time, Callix discovered a few things about himself. What it is, his Guardian, and even he himself, isn't sure. The shadow delivered him several messages about his past and his place of birth, but he didn't seem to understand too much of it. Or pay that much attention. After a few futile attempts, the shadow backed off and decided to visit him again when he was older. Callix escaped the confines of the tomb the shadow created, and has gone on as if nothing had happened.

He's growing more and more independent, wanting to be rid of his family to be with his friends and the other Fa'e. This behavior leaves Lu quite depressed, making her feel like a boarding house rather than a mother. Callix, in the meantime, doesn't care at all. He's selfish, unkind and uncaring to most people, though threats of physical violence tend to stop him in his tracks.

The Prom came and went, with Callix joining Xo, Lethe and Dusty in the Games run by N. Devan, the famous writer. This little adventure earned Callix a golden pocket watch and a seriously destroyed costume. Big Brotha Cube was no match for the Mafia, but Callix's red bird of paradise costume has certainly seen better days.

Halloween rounded the corner, and after finding a Ouija board, summoned a creature from Hell (or Lethe's shadow, whichever sounds more threatening). The children were all seperated after the creatures possessed the HQ, Seung and Callix hiding in a bedroom. In an effort to save the toddler, Callix confronted a corpse-woman, who knew him somehow. She swallowed him and dragged him away, awakening a creature that lay dormant inside him since birth.

A trip to a far away lake led to more discoveries. The doll-woman whispers to Callix at night, and explains to him things that only she knows. She has a master who gives her powers and information, and explains to Callix and Dusty (who came on the trip) that Callix is an Incubus. This is confusing to the boy, and upon trying to retreat, another monster appeared. It looked like a woman sunken into stone, and she tried to attack the doll-woman. Dusty tried to slice the creature in half, but her sword went right though it. A hasty retreat and an attempt to fly later, Callix remains back where he started - confused.

In the beginning of the new year, the Mage Kumoru, new Guardian of Bhel, invited Callix on the trip of a lifetime - to France! Quickly, the Fa'e accepted the job of translator, as Kumoru needed his skills to deliver an important sword to another mage on Earth.

La Voix, the voice inside him, pulls the boy towards the city one night after a fight with his Guardian. Callix decides eventually to leave his roommate and his Guardian behind to follow this new lead. He seeks answers more than anything else, and finds sin within the gutters and the stench of the city. The boy comes to find that humanity, especially at night, has a tendancy to show the worst of itself. He dreams of Hell and realizes his full potential - as a demon created to feed on the sin of humans. His experiences lead him to grow and learn to harvest the lust produced by people.

Name - Luciel (no given last name)
Date of Birth - Unknown, but assumed in the winter about 30 years ago.
Age - Estimated 30 or so, appears about 18-20.
Species - Mancubus
Hair - White-blonde, shoulder-length, sometimes tipped red.
Skin - Ivory
Likes - Taking care of her kids, cooking, hunting, taking a "bite" (or healthy mouthful) out of crime.
Dislikes - Eating, Callix's selfish moods, foreign languages.
About - Luciel is a mancubus, and Guardian of Callix. Because of her species, she has to consume human beings as a source of food. Fruits, veggies and water are alright (as long as the fruit and such are completely organic) but human flesh is preferred. She is grumpy sometimes, wondering what chocolate or soda tastes like. But overall, she means the best for everyone under her roof. She would not, however, overlook transgressions, and would not hesitate to show a little teeth to get her point across. Having three rows of sharklike chompers always helps.

She's pretty innocent considering her lifestyle and eating habits, but tries her best to keep it from the young wards in the house. Callix isn't human, so she's relieved to know that he's safe. Callix doesn't think too highly of her, thinking she's just around to tend to his every beck at call. Which is pretty much correct. Lu is too confused by the Incubus and his strange behavior to think much else about him, though she does feel an odd, familiar connection, considering their species.





Name - Nephilim
Date of Birth - October 19, 2005
Age - Toddler
Species - Mancubus
Hair - Red
Skin - Medium Caucasian
Likes - Being taken care of, naptime, learning new things.
Dislikes - Being bullied into doing anything, playing with other kids, Callix
About - With Nephilim's recent growth, she's learned more about her ability to craft her own flesh. Momma still has to feed her with a steady supply of meat, but she's grown to be a lovely, and happy, child. Except around her older brother, who she loudly disdains. Callix avoids her all the same, but since she grew and started walking, he can't avoid her as easily now.




Name - Isabel
Date of Birth - Unknown
Age - Wand
Species - Manticore
Hair - Unknown
Skin - Unknown
Likes - Unknown
Dislikes - Unknown
About - Isabel is a wand from the Ghosts of the Past shop. No one is sure what will come from the wand, but Lu takes good care of it. Callix knows something will be born from it, and he doesn't like it.



Name - Belial
Date of Birth - Unknown
Age - Estimated to be about 300 years old, appears 25.
Species - Succubus
Hair - Blonde, mid-back and in ringlets
Skin - Lighter Caucasian
Likes - Sex, seduction, tainting the innocent, dragging men into the pits of Hell, expensive purses, shoes and jewelry.
Dislikes - Swearing, sweat, things that require too much effort, the rain.
About - Belial is Luciel's mother, a higher-ranking Succubus in Hell. When she gave birth, she discovered that her child was one of the Eaters, a mancubus, and abandoned her in the winter in Durem. Belial, by and large, lives for herself and her own selfish desires. She sometimes visits Gaia to check up on her daughter, making sure she has not done anything to make Belial regret letting her live. In her watchfulness, however, Callix and her granddaughter Nephilim have piqued her interest.

La Poupée - A strange, lurking presence in Callix's young life. It stalks him, appearing from time to time through a window or some other inaccessable place to taunt him. It asks him strange questions about his happiness or his perceptions of his current life. It abducted him as a toddler and finally showed itself, looking more like a doll than an actual shadow. It showed him visions of his past life as part of some bigger picture.

It has been discovered that "the doll" can transcend worlds, or travel between them, with the help of its master. It can travel great distances between dolls - that is, it can jump between them and recreate itself from the body of the doll. While it is a decidedly feminine creature, it does not refer to itself as either gender.

The Master - Unknown. Callix only knows of this entity through La Poupée's brief mention of him. The Master grants power to La Poupée somehow, and allows it to travel between Gaia and Earth.

La Voix - "The Voice", which refers to the inner demon Callix feels in his soul. While it feels like a seperate entity now, Callix wonders if it really is a seperate being from himself. While it is called "the voice", it does not speak at all, instead communicating in a series of impulses and angry frustration. He doesn't know why La Voix is so angry, but thankfully it has not taken over his person since the haunting. Instead, it grumbles and growls in the background. Since its awakening, Callix has been able to sense where females may be present, even through walls and buildings.

Since his growth into a teen, La Voix has been silenced. Whether it is gone completely or merged into himself is unknown to the teen.

Presence during Scrying - An invisible being that touched both Callix and Dustin during a scrying session to delve into Dustin's past. A lake, trees and a path was shown to the two young Fa'e which angered a spiritlike being. Callix felt an overwhelming heaviness and an emotion he could not grasp or understand. Still, this presence made him feel connected to Dusty somehow, but does not understand why.
