Biography:
The fifth son of a rather prestigious pureblooded family, Callum had never really been more than a small blip on family's radar. The bulk of their attention had tended to go towards the eldest children before him, all of whom carried the weight of the family name on their shoulders with their various pursuits, and that was perfectly fine by him.

While he did enjoy a certain degree of limelight, there were other avenues that he could find attention, and he had no intention of living up to any of the family’s golden standards. His brothers and sisters had already been there, done that, and the idea of playing second fiddle - or fifth, in this case - to any of them didn’t really appeal to his interests. At times, and during some family gatherings, he is occasionally painted as the black sheep because of this when they do tend to acknowledge it.

After entering Hogwarts, he dabbled around with the various extracurriculars, but he never really gelled with the competitiveness needed for Quidditch and Duelling, and while he enjoyed wordplay and turning phrases, he never found himself inspired enough to write for Spellbound. Hopital Wing had been out of the question as well, since he displayed terrible bedside manner and while never squeamish, he didn’t have the patience to tend to people he didn’t care about.

So more often than not, Callum found himself haunting the school like a spectre in the night, with eyes glimmering and full of mischief. Of course it often comes with detention, of which he has grown quite accustomed to no matter the punishment whenever he does end up getting caught.

While he doesn’t have many years left in the Castle, and no real aim or ambitions other than doing whatever he wants to do and living life as he sees fit, Callum finds himself looking forward at a empty canvas with a brush dipped in possibilities in his hand. Ultimately, however, wherever he does end up, he wants to have it be under his own power, and not as a result of his family’s name.


→ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

House Request:
Gryffindor / Slytherin

Personality:
Callum wears a lot of different masks, but has a tendency towards the mischievous. He has a hidden fondness towards Muggles despite his blood status, especially towards the sleight-oh-hand that Muggle magicians use. He likes to think he has somewhat of a rapier wit, and will willingly spar verbally with anyone that ruffles his feathers.


→ SAMPLE ROLEPLAY.
Option I:

Callum sighed as he walked through the hall, his shoes making next to no sound as he moved. Of course, it had been entirely by design with the modifications he made to the sleek dark leather soles, softening them slightly with a spell to dampen his footfalls. It helped when sneaking through the castle, and when one was prone to skulking about, it often came in handy.

Unfortunately he didn't seem to be alone in his meandering, as he spotted the silhouette of another person in the distance. It was a slight figure, and he figured it to belong to a younger year, but it'd be impossible to tell until he was upon them. Much too tall to be an House Elf however, and the jumpiness of the person helped concrete his assumptions.

(Then again, there were some easily spooked upper years if memory served him. Not too many that were really vertically challenged however.)

"Hello! Is Emma Birch here?"

Hardly. But that didn't matter as a wolfish smile that etched across Callum's features. For now, perhaps, she was. "Yessss," he whispered back, going for his best ethereal voice. As far as theatrics went, he wouldn't be bringing home any theatre awards, but he hoped that the slight wail of a response would be enough to frighten the already jumper youngster.  "Whoooo are yoooou?" he added on, further hamming it up.
