Caleb Lancaster

Write a brief character introduction

Down to Earth Mage
Caleb is a kind and easy going young man. He devotes himself to magic not out of ambition, but out of his love for Firma's nature and wildlife. He has always had a particular affinity for geology, so his studies tend to focus on earth magic.

Weight of the World
Though he does not typically concern himself with problems of society, Caleb feels greatly compelled to help those who ask for his aid. Furthermore, when he agrees to assist someone, the idea of leaving his task unfinished is unthinkable.

Hidden Foundation
Caleb attributes his love of geology and his natural magic abilties to his father. Oddly enough, that whole side of the family seems to have the same passion and skills. He was taught to never be ashamed of his abilities, but the source of his power must remain a secret. "The outside world will not understand" is what his father always told him when he asked why.

Unmovable as a Mountain
His mother always used to tease him, that spending all of his time with rocks had made him hard headed. This trait, however, was never discouraged...until he went to the academy. That is probably why he didn't have many friends. Once Caleb sets his mind on something, it will be almost impossible for anyone, enemy or ally, to change his mind.

Urban Wilderness
Caleb grew up in a very rural environment, and feels at home out among nature. Cities make him very uncomfortable. Life at the academy did not help as much as one would think. The school was self-contained and had plenty of gardens or wooded areas for him to hide in *cough*, I mean visit.

Rocky Terrain
The element that Caleb feels the most connection with by far is earth. Though part of the reason he attended the academy was to expand his use of magic to other elements, he still has some trouble getting used to the differences in working with them.
