To face bleakness and despair and laugh in its face is a beautiful thing, and impossible as it may be in times of strife, he strives to do so always. He is a habitual liar, a consummate joker, and a lover of all things beautiful and natural. He can be genial, childish, frightening, or honorable depending on his mood. The latter two are more often an act than not. He tends to get along well with commoners and the poor much more than nobility, and harbors some frustration with his kind's henpecking and holier than thou ways.<br/><br/>Calim has found himself being attracted to all genders and most races, but isn't nearly as experienced as he lets on. However, inexperienced as he is in love and in combat, his boldness more than makes up for it. It is rare that he'd step down from a challenge, even when the outcome is clearly unfavorable for him. The young bard also has a tendency to go with the flow, an aspect of his personality his noble family has always loathed. They no doubt feel the appreciative of it now, as he heads off to secure land and bring honor to their name.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Background</strong></span><br/><br/>Calim was born and raised in the Lebeda noble line. Compared to those higher up in the House, his family had very little. His parents always craved more. More coin, more power, more respect. Nearly all they had was given to them out of tradition and obligation, but there was more wealth to go around, and they lamented how little of it they received. Calim was not pushed into striving for greatness; no, his older brother was there for that unfortunate task. As time passed, Calim witnessed the deteriorating effects trying to rise to power in the merchant trade had on his brother. It seemed that in no time at all, he had gone from kind and noble, to shrewd and heartless. They'd had a close bond as children, but that faded away as his brother's reception of him became cooler still.<br/><br/>As for Calim himself, he pursued experience in the bardic arts. He'd always had a talent for singing, and was indescribably drawn to the enrapturing performance art bards put on display. As he traveled and performed, he would use a false last name as a way to better gauge how audience felt about his acts and songs. He gladly found himself doing quite well.<br/><br/>It was a thirst for adventure, coupled with loyalty to his family, that brought him to join in the expedition. Whether this venture brings him fame, fortune, and true nobility, or just a miserable death, he will at least play his part in a grand story worth telling.
