»[/b] Cal is a skinny kid portraying only a subtle muscular build with a little bit of fat on his torso. Other than that, his legs and arms are both long and small. He is moderately white with only a light blush of red on his skin which only seems to be magnified by his fiery man of red hair. Well, its not really a mane. No matter how many times his mother has wanted him to trim his ‘wild’ hair, it’s rather tame and only really looks in a state of unrest when he doesn’t brush it on his way to work in the morning. There is a pendent on his chest with some scar tissue surrounding it maintaining its place on his chest. Also, his eyes are a gold .
He typically wears sunglasses when he goes outside and carries around an umbrella which he uses for those especially sunny days without a cloud in sight. Other than that, he keeps it by his side and even doesn’t bring it out for rain since its actually quite refreshing. Kraken may have developed a body for land but it never means that they have completely become accustomed to the environment. He also wears suits and jackets a lot. Despite the unimaginable heat that would perhaps go through your head when doing this, even through summer. It’s a trick the cephalopods have developed to retain water, a very useful technique too.

Abilities
»[/b] Logr Vapna. One of his abilities is to bring out his two long tentacles while still maintaining human form. If you ever have seen a squid of any kind, you would tend to notice that they have these particularily long tentacles that also have better suckers for handling prey. That’s the same for Kraken since all they are are larger versions of this animal! So he is able to whip these two suckers out, which always appear to come from his lower back, and use them to attack or to protect depdending on the given situation. (Size equivalent to that of a pickup truck and are strong enough to pick up a pickup truck and under)
»[/b] Dráp Grǫn. Its no secret that squids have beaks and use them quite frequently when it comes to killing and eating the prey they come across. By knowing this, it shouldn’t come off as a surprise that this utility made by the body is particularly strong especially for a kraken with significantly more muscle mass than its smaller cousins. Cal also has this beak and when he uses it, it has the potential to tear through scrap metal without leaving a sweat. The only thing it lacks is the moving motion. Squid beaks can clamp down but the ability to move the head once clamped down on something is pretty much non existant. That doesn’t change even if you threw on a meat suit. So the more the PREY struggles, the deeper it goes, if the prey doesn’t struggle then its pretty easy to wait it out without anything too bad hurting you. Its also a bit hard to get hit in the first place unless you are really still. (Beak grows prominently in the mouth, shrouding the teeth so that they can’t be seen. During extreme times, the lips of the human suit falls off so that he has a very prominent beak for a mouth. Also way more effective this way.)
»[/b] Svartr Auga. Squids also have the ability to spit some ink. Although its not as impressive as an octopus, they still can do it. So Cal uses this ability to blind his enemies by getting some on his hands and swiping at the enemies face. Once the ink has attached to something, it act as oil and is hard to wash off and burns the eyes. No permanent damage can be done by ink though.
»[/b] Skipon Frodleikr: Kraken. Cal rarely does this for many reasons and the biggest one is that he usually isn’t by deep enough water for such a profound transformation. This ability is the kind that allows him to go full on kraken, but being a kraken has as many upsides as it does downsides. Plus, he would only do this if he absolutely needed to in order to protect others or more correctly, those he knows. Other than that, he finds no reason and tends to do his first ability a lot more often. The tentacles still need water but at least its easier to accommodate them than his form the size of a semi. It should also be noted that he cannot instantly go down to 10,000 feet spontaneously. As a squid, they have the ability to adjust to water pressure but as long as it is a progressive act or else he could kill himself.

[style=margin-left: 20px; margin-bottom: -4px;]» HISTORY
[/style]»
There was one other thing though that made his childhood a little more hectic and abnormal from other people. When he turned 5, he began changing erratically between his human form and his squid form. Lets give a little history now before we continue. His parents were able to come to the land due to the powers of passed down norse antiques that they had in their possession that gave them the ability to transform into a human as long as it was touching their skin or touching their skin for the majority of the time so they each wore their respected pendents as necklaces. When Cal was born, they did the same but when he turned five, his transformations suddenly turned erratic and it became clear that as a child he couldn't quite CONTROL these transformations and the longer he had contact with the pendent while he was a child the less it would work in the future. They called upon someone they knew to help.
When he came, he brought with him a pendent and a high fee but the parents did not care and were willing to do anything. Since the pendent Cal had was losing power over the young childs abilities, they had to give him another pendent but one with higher amount of power and with a side ability to help the child control his creature. For this to work, the pendent DID have to be in contact with the boys body at ALL TIMES!!! If at any time the pendent would lose contact then the boy could potentially die from his own inability to control his own transformations. The man offered only one way which was to fuse the pendent into the boy. He would do it by making an incision on the boys chest and place the pendent onto it so that it would heal with the pendent in the boy(Since it will be on his chest and there isn't much tissue to cushion the sternum, the pendent will inevitably be touching his sternum and strong attacks towards the area may leave him with intense chest pain and/or difficulty breathing). This way they wouldn't have to worry about a loss of power and also the metal was hypoallergenic so they wouldn't have to worry about random alergic reactions from prolonged contact with the metal.
So they did the procedure and paid the man his dues but ever since his parents were worried to the point that they decided to never let him out and basically taught him everything he knows. They taught him all the subjects that one would typically learn in class and they also drilled in his mind the importance of keeping his power in control. Although myths have now been walking the earth with the people knowing for well around a century, sea monsters are a bit more recent than that and his parents were even newer to the whole being ‘surrounded by humans’ thing. They have been known to commit nation wide genocides and they had a feeling it was just a matter of time before they do the same to them. It was also assumed that they would wrongly accuse their son just because of his true nature so they made sure he stayed true to his ability to control and wouldn’t instantly drag unnecessary attention to himself.
His parents still home schooled him regardless until his relentless begging around the time he was supposed to enter highschool. No drama occurred but he certainly befriended a lot of kids (those that had the same age as him for once!).
Real drama occurred only when he turned nineteen. He saw a really pretty girl at his college and he had a really big crush on her! Then, one day he saw that she was being attacked and reasoned that ‘as long as it was for her it didn’t matter’. So he whipped out his tentacles and fended him off and the girl instantly cried out ‘Tentacle Monster!’ From that point on, the island seemed to have this rumor that a tentacle monster lived on it and Calvin, feeling dejected, had no idea what was so bad about having tentacles(not at all understanding the background to a tentacle monster).
Numerous other times throughout college, similar situations occurred where a girl he knew was in danger and he brought out his tentacles to save them but each and everytime they screamed out the same thing, now more since it was a legend rather than them knowing what it was. Girls began to avoid him and he began to get looks but oddly enough no one truly accused him of being said monster. It was perceived more as the kind of rumor a kid starts up about a teacher they never liked saying stuff like ‘witch’ so he didn’t have an diminish in how many friends he had. However, his romance life was severely affected and even when he graduated he was cursed to live on the life of a virgin!!!!
Right now, he works in marine biology studying cephalopods. The only significant development being his fathers recent inability to get out of the bathtub without drying out. In fact, a year later he had to return to sea being unable to withstand the dry land anymore. His mother is still able to withstand it though, being significantly younger, and still lives on the cabin by the beach with freshly made cookies for whoever decided to stop by.

[/b] Since he IS a squid, there are a few things he has to do everyday to maintain health especially since he is on dry land. For one, he has to drink a lot of water and take a baths at least twice a day! Another thing is he has to wear sunglasses at almost every time in the day, when he is working in a lab he wears Dark Goggles.»
»[/b] He likes to spend so much money on useless things that he usually ends up on the streets kicked out of his apartment for not making the money on time. However, he always finds a way to get up in the morning and appear at work as if he was living handsomely.
»[/b] The pendent he now wears in his chest helps him to both transform AND control when he does said transformations unless under extremely dire situations. In his squid state, since the pendent is a part of him now it appears on his cephalopod head in the center like the dot of an Indian woman.
»[/b] Whenever he overworks himself too much with his body or his powers, he changes into a tiny squid regardless of his control or the pendents strength. Nothing can fight exhaustion after all.
