Amias Calvacante/Full

Amias Calvacante, born April 6, 1987, to Thea Calvacante-Reid and Aidan Cooke, is the oldest of seven siblings. He is also the only one of his siblings to be a pure-blooded rabbit. Mated to Zaira Belle, Amias is an award-winning author and is the author of the Worldkeeper series. 
==Personality==
Amias has a calm personality. He's a natural leader, though he doesn't always enjoy being in charge. He enjoys his time to relax and will do so when he gets the chance between writing sprints. While he's not one to go outside often, he enjoys sitting in the sunroom when writing as long as there's a fan blowing not to get too warm.
He's not too big on sweets but likes dehydrated fruits and vegetables. His favorite food is Sweet Potato Crisps, a brand of thick, wavy-cut sweet potato chips. Amias is entirely vegetarian. Additionally to not liking sweets, he doesn't like spicy foods and while he can handle some heat, he won't eat it if it's "too spicy."
He loves to write and has thus made it his career, writing a fantasy novel series as his current magnum opus, though he is working painstakingly hard on a new one centered around a different world. Not only does he love writing, but he also likes to read. This includes a variety of young adult novels and explicit novels.
Despite his enjoyment of being an award-winning author, Amias does not, in fact, like going to large signings or parties. He would much rather have signing events in smaller bookstores or libraries instead. He doesn't like being in the media and would much rather stay as far out as possible.
Some of Amias's pet peeves include people who won't take care of themselves, don't think things through, or let their instincts control their lives.
==Early Life==
Amias is the eldest of six siblings; he is also the only pure-blooded rabbit aside from his mother. Growing up, they lived in a small apartment, and while their mother was away at work, Amias was the primary caretaker for him and his siblings. This forced him to grow up much faster than he should have, and though things got a little easier when Callaghan and Pascha began helping out, most household matters fell on him.
Times were harder when his mother got "Omega Brain" and wanted more children, to which Amias yelled at him. During these times, their mother would disappear for lengths of time without telling them where he was going, leaving Amias in charge of going shopping and caring for his siblings. Often, when his mother brought home a "boyfriend," they weren't good. Many of them were creeps, and Amias was forced to protect his siblings. This includes kicking one of the men out of the house when he started asking about Moshe.
When Amias was sixteen, two years after Bastion was born, he missed school more often and stayed home to care for Bastion. Because of his situation, the school gave him a laptop to allow him to do homebound work rather than come in every day, making it easier for him to watch Bastion during the day. One day, after researching topics for school, he found Safe Harbor, and he got in contact with an agent from the program who helped him get his family on track. They were given subsidies to buy food and lower-cost housing, which they moved into nearly immediately, allowing his mother to quit his job to focus on their family. After they moved, Amias started online schooling, which allowed him to graduate early a few months later.
==Career==
Amias became a published author at the age of seventeen with the first novel, The Awakening of the Worldkeeper, from the Worldkeeper series. Though he didn't tell his family about the first novel until he was partially through writing it, they became fiercely supportive when they did. After the first novel's success, he began writing the second, The Shadow of Despair, using some loose ends he'd left in its predecessor. Many themes in the novels mirror things Amias himself felt growing up.

==Physical Appearance==
Amias likes to wear loose-fitting shirts with jackets or cardigans. He doesn't often wear shoes as he doesn't typically leave the house much, but his go-to shoes are sneakers or flats. He keeps his hair long but in a low ponytail over the front of one of his shoulders. While his hair is naturally blonde, he keeps it dyed gunpowder blue with blue and purple highlights. He's tall and lean, his clothes hiding most of his physique. 
==Family and Relationships==
Amias has a big family and an even larger extended family. He doesn't have many friends, but he treats the ones he has as family. 
===Close Family===
* Zaira Belle
** Amias's mate. He and Zaira met at a party he was at with Callaghan and Sy. At first, it was a simple "date someone my parents don't approve of" from Zaira's side, and Amias and Callaghan went along with it. Things were going well until Zaira began to question if he was ready to have children, and while this caused Callaghan to back out of their relationship, Amias and Zaira stayed together as a monogamist couple instead of a polyamorous one. After the breakup, Amias and Zaira's relationship grew closer, and Zaira proved to be an irreplaceable muse for Amias. The discussion of children is off the table currently as Amias found out he's infertile, and they are unable to have a child by conventional means and, therefore, have decided to hold off on starting a family.
* Thea Calvacante-Reid
** Amias's mother. Amias and his mother didn't see eye-to-eye for a long time when he was growing up. This brought heavy tension to the family as Amias was upset and angry at his mother for never being home when he and his siblings needed him. He knows his mother was doing his best to provide for his family, but Amias still doesn't agree with many choices Thea made in the past. Their relationship has improved significantly since Amias reached out for government assistance, and after Thea began dating Cyrus, Amias wasn't as worried. In the present day, their relationship is good, and Amias visits him quite often.
* Cyrus Reid
** Amias's step-father. Initially, it was a rocky start for Amias and Cyrus, with Cyrus being in a questionable biker gang and his mother going missing. Still, after a while, Amias came to like Cyrus and eventually referred to him as his dad. He's grown so comfortable with Cyrus that he'll call him when he needs help with something he can't handle. He enjoys listening to Cyrus's stories, even the gritty and less legal ones, because he finds them fascinating, and they give him novel ideas. Because Amias visits his mother quite often, he also sees Cyrus, allowing him to get closer to his stepfather.
* Callaghan Calvacante
** Amias's oldest, younger brother. He and Callaghan are very close in age, only one year and seven months apart, and they are incredibly close. While Amias was in charge, Callaghan was right behind him, helping him take care of their younger siblings when they were growing up. Despite their strange poly relationship with Zaira, Amias did his best to support Callaghan after the breakup. After the breakup, their sibling relationship never wavered, and Amias still visits his brother quite often. He's proud of what he's done for himself and loves watching his dance videos and attending competitions.
* Pascha Hale
** The next in line after Callaghan, Pascha is one of Amias's younger brothers. Like Callaghan, Pascha helped Amais around the house with their younger siblings, Moshe and Bastion. He's pretty close to Pascha despite their age difference of two years and some change. Pascha was Amias's go-to when dealing with their younger siblings when they were babies, as Callaghan didn't like having to change or bathe them. At present, Amias visits Pascha and vice versa for lunch or dinner. He was happy to see Pascha settle down with Maddison and start a family.
* Moshe Sato
** Things between Moshe and Amias may look a little strained, but it's only because Amias is more like Moshe's dad than his older brother despite them only being four years apart in age. Because of this, they aren't as close as Amias is with Callaghan and Pascha. Amias was always protective over Moshe, keeping his mother's former boyfriends away from him. Amias did his best to support Moshe through school and encouraged him to graduate. After Moshe met Henley, it wasn't easy to see Moshe move away, but he knew it was best for Moshe, and while they don't see one another too often, they send messages and talk a few times a month.
* Bastion Snow
** Bastion, the youngest of the older siblings, was the last sibling Amias had to raise. Like Moshe, Amias was more of a father to Bastion than an older brother. It didn't help that Bastion was born fourteen years after Amias. The two were incredibly close because Amias had to stay home to watch Bastion, and it wasn't until Amias moved out that that closeness wained a bit, but their bond was still strong. Even now, they're still close, and since Bastion lives next to their mother and Cyrus, Amias also visits him.
* Cian and Enzo Calvacante-Reid
** Amias's youngest siblings. He doesn't have as close of a bond with Cian and Enzo as his other siblings, but he only sees them when he visits his parents and Bastion. Because their father, Cyrus, is in their lives, Amias doesn't have to play caretaker for them, and he's grateful for that. He's also happy that they have a normal childhood and don't have to worry about the same things he and the other siblings had to endure. He likes Cian and Enzo, though, and he enjoys playing with them when he visits. They have a lot of energy and enjoy Amias's stories.
=== Extended Family ===
* Saava Zima
** Amias's unofficially adopted sibling, Saava, is one of Moshe's friends who hardly went home. They got along as expected, and while Amias never really saw him as a sibling, he saw him as a good friend. They don't see much of one another in the present day; Amias is proud of what Saava has done for himself. Marrying a prince is no small feat.
* Alistair and Oliver Snow
** Bastion's family. It took a while for Amias to come around and like Alistair, but it was a little easier after hearing that Bastion was courting Alistair and not the other way around. It also helped to have Cyrus approve of their relationship. Amias doesn't have much contact with Alistair other than when he's over visiting, but they get along fine. It's the same with Oliver, Bastion and Alistair's son. Amias was surprised when he first heard the news, but he was happy to know that Oliver was very much wanted, as Bastion had to go through surrogacy to have him.
* Madison and Tristan Hale
** Madison and Amias aren't what Amias would call "close," but they are friendly. The two went to school together while Amias was still going to the campus, but they drifted apart when he went homebound. He still saw Madison when Callaghan and Pascha brought him over and hung out with him. After Madison moved away, he fell into the back of Amias's mind, but when he returned, he was happy to see him and Pascha reconnect and begin dating nearly immediately. He was even happier when Tristain, Pascha and Madison's son, was born.
* Henley Sato
** Married to Moshe, Henley is Amias's brother-in-law. While he holds a tiny bit of a grudge about Moshe moving to Australia with Henley, he's happy Moshe has him to calm him down. The grudge isn't that serious. He and Henley get along well enough, and Amias doesn't have anything bad to say about him—If he did, he would.
* Niko and Oran Kanta
** Callaghan's husbands. He sees them more often than his siblings' other spouses as he goes to the dance studio to watch Callaghan's performances and competitions. He likes Niko's feistiness and finds Oran's personality amusing. One of Oran's coffee shops is typically where Amias gets his drinks when he's out of the house. Sometimes, he'll meet up with the trio for lunch or dinner.
===Friends===
* Sy Blackwood
** Sy is one of Amias's only friends. He used to be incredibly close to Sy when they were younger, but after Sy found his mate, they drifted apart. They've recently begun spending more time together as Amias convinced Sy to leave the house more. While their friendship was originally very physical, it's no longer so, and they're becoming closer friends. Amias is very happy that Sy found his fated mate and has settled down, as he used to be worried he wouldn't be able to get himself into trouble he couldn't get out of.
* Paris Blackwood
** Sy's brother and one of Amias's only friends. He and Paris began hanging out when Sy brought him to their house when they were younger. The two bonded over their love for writing, and when Amias completed the Worldkeeper series, he had a special box set printed specifically for Paris with extra margin space for annotation and notes. Paris also owns the only other copy of Amias's Worldkeeper Book Bible. While he doesn't see Paris as much as he could, he still loves spending time with him and occasionally visits or meets up with him.
