Calio Aleister

**Deucalion “Calio” Aleister** is a member of the Blue Team (formerly Blue Class, also known as “The Simp Squad''). They are the younger sibling of Aidos Aleister and the descendant of Alcaea Aleister, a hero-god known for helping Prometheus defeat a hydra in their hometown of Aelyosos.

At the age of 11, her parents had left on a long term expedition regarding interplanar travel. Calio received news a year after, that her parents and all of those that left for the expedition with them were classified as MIA. Soon after news had spread, her elder sister Aidos Aleister stepped up to fill both seats for the Promethean Order.

Calio continued to train under the Promethean Order until she turned 18, leaving to explore the world and to learn more about the expedition outside of the documentation in the Temple. They traveled out to different magical schools before ending up at the Magaambya, Golarion’s oldest academy of arcane learning. She spent her last year at the academy before graduating and leaving with her classmates to compete in the Silver Dragon Tournament.

## Appearance

### Pre-Expedition

Prior to her parents’ absence, Calio had short and fluffy black hair and would always be seen with Fennel and a wooden shield strapped to their waist and back. She was much shorter than average, standing at 4’1 at the age of 11.

### Post-Expedition

At 20, Calio is tall (standing at 6’0), physically fit, and well-toned, priding herself in her rigorous training schedule. Their eyes are amber colored, expressive, and round, while her eyebrows are bushy with two small slits shaved on both. Calio’s ears are pointed and she has two small golden hoop earrings on each ear. She has dyed scarlet hair that she keeps in a high ponytail along with their natural black haired undercut.

She is almost always seen in full plate armor, a habit they had formed while trying to first get used to wearing the suit while training in Aelyosos. They’re always seen with a bright fiery laurel wreath on their head, paying homage to their parents.

For the rare moments that she is seen out of her armor, her go-to casual outfits include flowy clothes that cover as little as socially accepted. If need be, she will wear whatever is handed to her by her teammates.

## Personality

Calio is best described as competitive, strong-willed, compassionate, and selfless to a fault. She was raised into the Promethean Order, whose sole purpose is to protect and serve the citizens of Iblydos and one day, the world. They continue to carry that ideology everywhere they go, doing their utmost to provide for those that need it.

Their personal sense of righteousness is their driving force, pushing Calio to recklessly sacrifice themselves constantly during battle. She tends to have arguments with Cyra Torunn over the superiority of armor over dexterity in the heat of battle.

Because of her overwhelming confidence, Calio can be unknowingly blunt and unfiltered. During their first interaction with Cyra, they had rushed to her aid, assuming that she was a young child that needed to be led back to safety. This was taken as an insult by Cyra, who quickly rejected their advances.

Calio has a hot streak of getting distracted by pretty women. She continuously fails at charming women romantically the moment she reminds them that she is a sentient being. Regardless of that, when she is being her natural self around friends, she can be somewhat charming.

Calio believes in the good of everyone, and believes that deep down, all people want what is best for society. Those that are misguided can one day be led back to righteousness, and all can be saved. Regardless of her dedication to Prometheus, she grew up in an extremely diverse environment and is understanding of others’ religious beliefs. They had once publicly, yet jokingly, berated their elder sister about her “lack of open-mindedness” around their allies during Blue Team’s visit to Aelyosos.

In battle, Calio tends to get riled up, being the first to retaliate if she sees an ally of hers getting injured. She’s incredibly self-sacrificing and cares deeply for her allies, willing to jump in head first against any danger to protect them. This is a point of concern for many of their allies, as she can be seen fighting in the front lines and soaking up the brunt of the damage.

They find lots of inspiration from stereotypical “heroes,” having studied them along with multiple famous wrestlers, mixed martial artists, gladiators, and hero-gods from all over Golarion. They get excited at the sight of big and flashy moves while also taking notes to one day make her own signature move. Their most notable admiration for Aries Asteria is due to her dominance on the field, her chivalry, and especially her flashy all-in fighting moves.
