there used to be paintings hung on the walls of his old home, paintings of his family – paintings of four smiles.  

(it was one of the greatest tragedies of their clan.)

they used to live in a large manor, one of the largest in their region. despite the fact that calcifer only lived with his father, his mother, and his little sister, though, he used to always feel as though his grandfather and his great grandfather were always there as well. he used to always feel the weight of their stares and the anger in their voices, all through the eyes and the voice of his own father.

see, the only reason their family was known throughout their land was because of his great grandfather, who had fought in the great war. apparently, he had been of high ranking, and had led his army into victory in many battles. his son after him had been a high ranking officer in the army as well, and so was calcifer’s father. it was clear to many that calcifer would be next.

and so his purpose in life had been found quite early. in fact, probably a little too early – all the years he should’ve spent enjoying himself as a child, he had spent studying and training instead. calcifer knew from the start that it was an important goal, a duty, to become a part of the army, to be able to make a difference, to be able to defend their land. however, it had taken longer for him to realize his father’s ulterior motives – he did not want for calcifer to only defend their land, but also to become the greatest of it.

it had taken calcifer years too long to notice the way his father behaved, the way he spoke to others, how he treated the ones of filaren far differently from the others. it had taken years too long for him to realize that his father believed their clan possessed power that no other clan could, that they could reach greatness like no one else could. and for years too long, calcifer always agreed.

he used to only feel better, normal, when he was with his little sister – a small, sweet little girl that had adored him as much as he’d adored her. (frankly, though, everyone adored her, and calcifer couldn’t really bring himself to mind). he used to believe that she was what kept him sane, she was the breath of air from his father’s toxic. she was everything to him, and he had always made sure to keep her safe, to keep her close –

but he couldn’t save her from everything.

a house fire – they had been left at home alone when the it started. calcifer had been too young, too weak, too slow. too far away. and he couldn’t save her from everything.

(but not all tragedies are accidents.)

there used to be paintings hung on the walls of his old home, paintings of his family. now, the walls were bare. and none of them really smiled anymore.

 

 

now, calcifer studies at aurai. he doesn’t think of his old home, he doesn’t think of home at all. he is here to forget, to learn, to grow stronger, to live out the goal his father had set for him: to become a master of his element, and to show the rest that the Filaren clan was the strongest of all.

 

 

 

 

calcifer is loyal and driven. he cannot be steered away from his goals, and is easily angered when there is a distraction or inconvenience presented. he is hardworking, and follows orders well. he is also respectful and courteous to figures of authority. it would seem as though he is only like this in order to gain the liking of the authority, however, he truly does hold an admiration for those above him.

calcifer is curious. he is young and obsessed with exploring. also, despite having spent a lot of his time at home in his library, he is still quite clueless. a little bit naïve.

calcifer is not much of a talker. he prefers to observe and listen, although most times he might not even be interested. he likes to keep to himself, unless interacting with others would promise him self-improvement. often times, he will come off as rude, or dismissive. he is also quite temperamental. however, once comfortable, he might actually become quite playful or even mischievous. perhaps, if he might actually grow a liking towards someone, he could even be caring. a bit obsessively so.
