For Calvet'a, Fray is himself: not Esteem, but the dead man's shade making an attempt at possession.
So the initial DRK quests aren't canon for him, but the 50-60 set with Sid and Rielle are!

#calvetalore Cal is the oldest sibling of five, with younger cousins in the family as well! The big brother for the whole group. He was the one the littles trusted with mistakes, secrets, fears, anger, hurts- and he'd get them settled.
He still takes caring for and teaching littles seriously.

Somewhere nearby will be Basille, griping to Sylphie that playing hide-and-seek with a shinobi is not fair play.
Calvet'a regrets nothing and is having a fantastic time frightening the voidsent, to the delight of the audience. He has candy for the children.

Cal is /dying/ to be dad. A mooncat dad who returns to his kid's mom's home with stories and gifts, an elezen dad with a wedded wife, doesnt matter! He wants a woman and littles to dote on!
"With whom" is the holdup.

Calvet'a was born in the East End. After the Garlean invasion he was rescued and adopted by a Keeper family in the North Shroud, near Hyrstmill. So he's in general a Shroud kid, but not really /Gridanian/...
Still pondering on how/whether Valdeaulin is related 😈

Relentlessly. Calvet'a's a duskwight with a keeper of the moon name & upbringing- in Gridania.
Zhai'a was the worst for a long while.
He learned to ignore it. Lay low. Disappear.

Cal looking at Kan-E-Senna, Minfilia, Ysayle, Lyse, Lyna...
Pale-haired women who like being respected (worshipped a little) but don't really reciprocate? 😬
...Boyo. You need to stop that.

Calvet'a likes having very long hair! Sure it's indulgent and eccentric, but what else is a hero expected to do? He's been growing it since he quit the conjurers to adventure.
His siblings tease him RELENTLESSLY.

The only people who think Cal is friendly are kids. In his official roles he tends to be reserved. Off the clock, so to speak, he tries to go unremarked. He's gotten good at going unnoticed.
If you want friendly Cal, the trick is to get him tipsy!

#calvetalore Cal loves mounted riding. He's a Shroud guy who loves a big friendly creature! He has BIG heart eyes for the Amaro!!
Aetheryte travel and walking are bitter for him. He used to able to feel the aether currents and lifestream, as a WHM- and now he can't...

Cal is the only one I play with canon jobs!
Cal doesn't have an Esteem- his DRK mentor is actually Fray's ghost, posessing him. They work more like a reaper pair.
Fray's taken complete control several times. None of them went well for Cal. NOT a happy partnership.

Calvet'a is searching for a new home. The Black Shroud hasn't been since ARR. Neither is anywhere else though.
He's effectively a mooncat bachelor: too old for his mother's clan, no lover's clan to visit. Solitary. Migratory.

Cal remembers Crystal Tower expedition fondly. He and G'raha bonded over being adopted into a people not their own- not really being one thing or the other.
But it means that elezen can /dance/ like a catboy. No m elezen softshoe shuffle emote in my mind!

#Calvetalore Cal is a bit of a mockingbird. Spend long enough near people and he'll adopt their inflections. His "normal" accent is vaguely middle-class Ishgardian (fake).
His natural accent is Shroud mi'qote: subtly rolled Rs, hard throaty Hs, broad vowels.

And Calvet'a is my Moon. His path and magic are deeper, shadowed, spiraling around. Shadowbringers is an especially apt title/journey for him: he can reverse his path and find the source of his power again.

#calvetalore Starlight with the Sheashi clan is an undertaking that lasts a week. Dozens of relatives and family friends pour in. Multiple feast-nights. At least two pilgrimages- one to the Gridanian markets, and one to the Sanctuary of the Twelve. Games, competitions, gifts, sweets, announcements!

Calvet'a is less used to privacy the night through between Conjurer dormitory and the many-sibling family. He sleeps covered: #2. Worn old undershirts and shorts. Homely. Disreputable.
Lyse was... not a fan.

But by the Twelve if he isn't graceful. Dancing or fighting, Calvet'a is art.
He has a warm, soft singing/speaking voice. Great conversationalist and listener, and amazing at comforting those in need.
Cal is incredible with kids, too.

Fics from a third person POV refer to him as Calvetoix, but first person he thinks of himself as Calvet'a.
His mother's son. 😌

Unless it's proven the child is his and there are no other guardians, he wants no part of this.
But if it is, that's it, you're part of the family, let's go kiddo. He'd make the best parent out of my blorbos!

#calvetalore Cal thinks he needs to just keep going. Keep trying, keep fighting, even though it's quite clearly going to kill him.
Take a breath, my guy. Look around. Make a decision for real.

A vanilla gpose of WoL Calvet'a (a dark-skinned duskwight with white hair in a ponytail) outside Mord Souk in the First, squinting against the light and slouching.
ShB fic ahoy!
✨A Little Touch of Heavenly Light✨
Calvet'a reached the First- and then was lost to the Exarch's view.
ie he's had a rough time and Refusal fo the Call is valid.

#calvetalore kind of. His idea of "dressing up" is kind of... severe. Plain dark colors/fabrics, full coverage. He does like relaxing out of armor in his nice clothes quite a bit, and can be xonvinced to socialize!

For different reasons Cal loves All Saints' Wake and The Rising. The first, he was always off duty as a conjurer and could go be a gangly spook in the trees! Freeing whimsy.
The Rising he was always on duty, advising and helping people tend loved ones' graves. Important work.

#zozorilore is celebrating, uh. 19. Post-DT. Babygirl is a bit younger than the twins (and Thancred still feels guilty about not knowing when he recruited her)
#julslore is 27- half a year older than G'raha.
#calvetalore is turning 24 during ShB. And because of time dilation, Basille is now 22! 😆

A rendered digital drawing of an FFXIV scene. WoL Calvet'a, a grey-skinned duskwight with white hair up in a ponytail, is draped across a set of crates in a storeroom in Eulmore's understory. He's wearing the Neo-Ishgardian boots and gloves, and a risque version of the patrician's doublet (with the femme lace collar) and paned booty shorts in livid magenta. He has matching purple lip stain and eyeshadow- and looks miserable!
Calvet'a's No Good Very Bad Day (in Eulmore)
He got new clothes! [derogatory]
He got to run around! [ow]
Give the lad a nap with his feet up...

#calvetalore Haurche was an NPC to Cal. Friendly, but not what he'd call a friend.
He regrets that he died- that Cal couldn't heal him- but really he seethes under the implication that he should miss him because they should have been close.
They weren't.
