Caleb "Calley" Swartz

Backstory Thread:

[/url] (Solo -- in which Zelda is played and older sisters are evil in a good way)[/ul]

Entrance arc
In which Calley, continuing from the two years of catting established in his profile, curls up on a bench in Central Park. There he meets Isabel, who adopts him as her 'Kitten' and leads him back to the Sanctuary. Naturally, much infiltration of secret meetings follows.

[/url] (Solo -- kitten!Calley chronically spies on the NYPD)

Employed by the Scary Boss Man/First Mission arc
In which Calley, finally feeling comfortable with the Sanctuary crew, decides that maybe taking on human form again wouldn't be so bad. An ill-advised self-guided tour of Hunter's apartment shows him the error of that thought, and leaves him with a new job as Hunter's Patsy Spy Boy and Part-Time Beating Bag. Missions to the Mansion and Sanctuary promptly follow. Right after Doc Jimmy fits him with an Explode-a-Kitty brand collar, of course.

The Pillow Saga/Second Mission arc
In which Calley finishes one mission only to get shuttled off on another. More importantly, we learn that Hunter has an irrational hatred of pillows. And doesn't mind flipping over jeeps, if cats are hiding under them. And doesn't appreciate being bitten in the ankle. Also in which Calley doesn't learn much from his transgressions.

Issie-is-my-Girlfriend! arc
In which Calley meets Issie, Issie meets Calley, Mister Fake ID meets skepticism, bar fight meets police officers, running shoes meet alleyway, and late night movies at a horror-themed theater are the best.

Ends-in-Horrible-Torture arc
In which an innocent breakfast conversation and pet shop visit leads to Abyss uncovering Calley's human form as a spy, an unwise decision, and testing out Doc Jimmy's torture machine. Bright side: Calley acquired his lime green squeaky hedgehog.

Registration Act, Day One arc
In which Calley goes everywhere, sees everyone, doesn't do much as he watches the destruction of both the Mansion and the Sanctuary, "joins" the Resistance, and is deprived of rest by a cute twelve-year-old at the end of it all. A busy day, really.

[/url] / "Katrina's Room" / "Raid Aftermath... *shudder* math" / "Gathering the Resistance" / "Breakfast" (Katrina, Hunter, et al -- a pale red parakeet meets a young girl in the Mansion ruins, returns with her to the Labs, and is sent to his cage by a disgruntled Boss Man)

The Rest of the Winter arc
In which Calley did a lot of things, none of them useful. Unless you count partially destroying Mondragon Labs whilst protecting Hunter's daughter and adopted daughter from Hunter's blood-drinking son as productive. He also does not continue plotting against Antonescu. A lot. At all.
