## Biography

### Early Life

Caleb Stone was born on January 30, 1718, three hours after his twin sister Autumn Stone. Along with the family curse, Caleb was destined to become selfish and demented; however, the extent of the curse would differ for each family member. Unlike his twin sister, Caleb was very empathetic, and most often was a loyal and supportive friend.

#### Isolation

Caleb grew up in a small town in Texas alongside his mentally unstable mother and step-dad. Due to his mother's long struggle with tuberculosis, Caleb worked alongside his step-father on the farm, so much that his parents decided he should not go to school, let alone waste his time speaking to other children. This caused Caleb to become overly attached to his step-father, as he never left his side, and was much less abusive to him than his mother.

#### Proud Farmer

At age 15, Caleb had grown an extremely green thumb, earning his family enough money to support his mother's medical bills, causing his mother to grow a bit less abusive to him, fearing that he would abandon her to pay her own medical bills. Caleb quickly managed to earn the money for cows and a horse, making him even more able to acquire more pricey medications for his mother. The mother soon had formed a dependency on her son, manipulating him into staying longer and longer, so she could benefit.

#### Manipulated

At age 18, his mother had been cured of tuberculosis, however, she had also became addicted to Opium, a medicine Caleb had been using to soothe his mother's pain. Out of desperation, she would pretend her illness was getting worse, in order for Caleb to keep earning money for painkillers. When his step-father warned Caleb that he was being manipulated, Caleb denied it. Sick of her manipulation, Caleb's step-father divorced his mother, and left only Caleb to support his mother, causing the manipulation to grow stronger.

#### Mother's Death

Caleb's mother passed away on June 22, 1742 of an Opium overdose. Lying on her deathbed, she admitted that Caleb had a twin sister, but that she had passed.

### Finding his Twin

Caleb was devastated at his mother's death, so much he would not believe his twin was deceased, searching everywhere for Autumn Stone. It took 278 years to find her, and by than, his sister had become severely mentally ill.

## Powers

* **Demi-Titan Physiology:** Caleb is a Demi-Titan, though notably not as powerful as his twin sister. However, he is healthier and more agile than her and the average Demi-Titan.
	+ **Superhuman Strength:** While Caleb appears slim, he is still a Demi-Titan and can naturally lift in excess of 500 pounds. Though he is far surpassed in physical strength by his sister, he can efficiently overpower humans, seen when he forcefully kidnapped Jason Kade and brought him to his house. Caleb also possesses superhuman force in his legs and can jump great horizontal distances.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Caleb is able to recover inhumanly quickly. However, he was unable to heal the eye he lost in the battle against Windy Gear.
	+ **Longevity:** As a Demi-Titan, Caleb is capable of living up to a millennium while appearing young and not visibly aging past 30.
* **Magic:** Like his sister, Caleb is a practitioner of magic.
	+ **Ecological Empathy:** Caleb's access to magic grants him a sensitivity towards and mild control over nature.
	+ **Alchemy:** Despite his clinically diminished intellect, Caleb has an affinity for following his step-father's recipes for potions and elixirs. He collaborated with Jason to produce a temporary solution to quell his sister's post-resurrection madness.

## Weaknesses

* **Low Intelligence:** Caleb suffers from a Demi-Titan illness similar to Fetal Alcohol syndrome, causing his IQ to be lower than average. It is plausible his lack of common sense and intelligence could also have been heightened by isolation put in action from his mother, as he was not allowed to speak to other children or go to school.
