thread with @calebjaqobis

      “caleb?” young artist would tuck a strand of auburn hair behind her ear as she looked at her childhood best friend. it had been.. a long time since she’d seen him, and while she had been a bit preoccupied, seeing him now reminded her that she’d missed having him around. sighing, she’d shift her weight awkwardly, standing there, clutching a large starbucks cup of hot tea. “do you mind if i .. sit with you?”

turning around at the mention of his name, caleb found himself looking at a rather familiar face. “yeah, can i help you?” he asked casually, before finally realising why the other person looked so familiar. “wait- astrid?!” jumping off of his seat, he moved over to the female, flinging his arms around her. pulling back, he looked at her awkwardly. “sorry about that, whoa- it’s been so long since i last saw you.” he apologised, realising that he had invaded her space without even knowing if that was okay. “yeah of course, sit down. how have you been?”

hiya everyone, steph here !! i already play thomas and now i’m bringing in this lil’ one. alright, so the following will just be the general basic info as i like to see how my characters develop as they interact with people. please do hmu if you’d like to plot or have a connection !!

❝ have you seen CALEB JAQOBIS move into C14 ?? at first, it thought HE was NICO GREETHAM, but turned out they just really look alike. anyway, i heard that they’re HARDWORKING & RELIABLE, but from what i’ve seen, i’d rather call them TEMPERAMENTAL & PRIVATE. lets just hope this TWENTY-TWO year old HETEROSEXUAL CISMALE will spice things up around… { steph, gmt+1, 22, she/her } ❞

okay so some trigger warnings for the following: surgery, death, alcohol, fighting

born and bred in galena, caleb has never even left the state with the exception of some holidays, he’d always dream of getting out and making a name for himself but fate seemed to have other plans in store for him.

he was kind of a big deal back in high school, he was very much the golden child. popular, jock, captain off the lacrosse team, pretty girlfriend that he loved and on top of that he was a pretty decent student.

when he was seventeen, caleb and his girlfriend alexa were on their way to the park for a picnic date when they got crashed into by drunk truck driver. caleb ended up in a coma for two weeks, during which he underwent surgeryfor multiple internal bleedings. after he woke up he still had to undergo some intense recovery, mainly for his badly injured legs.

his girlfriend didn’t make it, having passed away in the abulance on the way to the hospital. caleb was absolutely heartbroken when he found out about alexa’s passing, and very much blames it all on himself even though no one else does. he definitely suffers from survivor’s guilt and never really got over it. alexa was his first love, and was the girl he could see himself marry one day, and all that was ripped away from him because of one stupid druk driver.

on top of losing alexa, caleb also lost his future. whereas he once was absolutely certain he could go to college on a lacrosse scholarship, and even already had some offers, caleb lost all of it when his doctors informed him that he wouldn’t be able to perform as he once did, and even recommended that he should stop lacrosse altogether... he couldn’t run as fast anymore, and after just one training session, his legs would hurt so much that he could barely stand anymore.

having lost everything, caleb spiralled down. he didn’t want to talk to anyone, pretty much locked himself up in his room and generally just suffered until one day he got tired of all the whispers, people’s careful behavior and pittying looks and decided to just act like everything was okay. big smiles, enthusiastic behavior etc. he would act just like before the accident happened, and people bought it.

it didn’t take caleb too long until he started drinking in an attempt to drown his sorrows and wash away the pain. he wouldn’t call himself an alcoholic but the truth is that rarely a night passes by where he doesn’t drink at least eight beers or something stronger.

now, five years later at the age of twenty-two, not much has changed. he still pretends like everything’s okay and gets away with it. studying architecture at the local collage, caleb spends his weekends working as a mechanic for his uncle. on top of that he often fights in not so very legal underground fights, but that’s something that not many people know about.

overall caleb is an optimistic and positive person, but unfortunately most of it is definitely an act. sometimes he cracks, albeit in private or just someone he trusts deeply. he doesn’t trust people as easily anymore though, so it does take him a while before he really lets people in. he drinks, a lot, and has come to the point where alcohol doesn’t really effect him that much anymore. tends to get in fights every now and then, like he doesn't mean to intentionally, but he doesn't try to avoid them either.

he’s a very loyal friend though, like once he considers you a friend of his there’s almost nothing that he wouldn’t do for you, even if he isn’t up to the point yet where he feels like he can confide people, he’ll still be the ride or die type of friend
