Race: Asura

Pact Affiliation: Durmand Priory

Description
Calixx is a relatively average asura in both height and weight. His most immediate feature is the unruly mop of curly brown hair on his head. He needs glasses to see, and wears a relatively cheap pair to do so. His irises are a bright yellow and his skin tone could be considered pale, given his previous profession didn't afford him a lot of outdoor time. Physique-wise, he sports the lean musculature of a swimmer from living in Lion's Arch his whole life. As for clothing, Calixx generally dresses plainly, if not a little cheaply from old habits. A well-worn leather coat with a high collar is what he sports most often.

Demeanor
This office rat now turned Priory explorer is a chipper soul. Some might say he has a devil-may-care approach to life. Some might say a death wish. Calixx has a markedly terrible sense of threat assessment and will often continue to dig himself into more trouble even after hitting metaphorical bedrock. With his previous work as a paper-pusher behind him, this asura also has an irrational level of bravado, fancying himself the 'adventurer' type. That being said, he's not a bookah by any stretch. While he did not attend, and does not intend to attend, an asuran college, he has the requisite memory and wherewithal to make his way into the introductory ranks of the Priory's Explorer division. All in all, Calixx is a good intentioned and loyal friend, if not a bit of a loose cannon.

Early Life
Growing up in Lion's Arch was relatively unremarkable for Calixx. His family being barely above the poverty line meant that he needed to work as soon as he was able. That was mostly running deliveries throughout the city, and on occasion diving into the bay to sift for anything valuable that might have fallen from the numerous boats that made port. The fall of Claw Island forced him and his family to re-locate briefly to the farmsteads of the Cornucopian Fields to the north. While he was too young to do anything about it other than worry, Calixx wanted to do more.

Unfortunately, that would take a while. With the rebuilding of Lion's Arch after Scarlet Briar's assault and the Consortium's establishment as a business presence, Calixx found himself working at their main branch office. The punishing hours, tedious paperwork, and distinct lack of benefits only made him stubbornly dig in his heels until he found a promotion to Logistician. This position had him selling security packages to caravans and plotting optimal routing and let him do a little travelling for sales pitches. He still dove in the bay in Lion's Arch every once in a while to make rent, now working to salvage wreckage from the old city and Scarlet's machines. Making friends with the local quaggans didn't hurt either.

Present Day
After yet another exhausting day of meetings and tedium, Calixx had retired to the largely unpopulated bar hidden away in the caverns of the western paths of Lion's Arch. It was there he met a charr by the name of Kifo Mletalclaw. Holding back comments about how she might have misspelled 'Metalclaw', he struck up conversation and found the two of them had one thing in common: living in highly stressful environments. With him in the most bureaucratic office hell that is the Consortium, and for her the crucible that is the Rata Sum collegiate schooling system.

While they could only meet when their rare breaks in work aligned, their friendship grew. The asura-charr duo soon started dating and formulating a plan to leave- or at least make easier- their professional lives by joining the Durmand Priory. While Kifo's intellect and medical prowess made her a shoe-in, Calixx needed to go through several physical trials and academic exams to join the Priory's Explorer division. This only fueled his self-proclaimed adventurer persona. While he prefers firearms if forced to engage in combat- with a special fondness for revolvers (he likes the spinny barrel!)- he is also capable in a CQC scenario with a staff and his hands, using his years of building lean muscle through swimming for a more... gymnastic approach to fighting.

Currently, the two of them live together in the village and are members of the "Book Club", a loose group of residents that go out into the world to provide material for the local library. While discoveries made on behalf of the town are not entirely Priory property, they do collaborate with them. These little treks also serve as field experience should Calixx find himself looking to be promoted within the Priory.
