[color=gray][b]Personality Traits[/b][/color]
[indent] Caelum is a curious fellow, preferring to pander to unbidden thoughts and overanalyzing. He finds his voice very rarely, often leading others to assume he doesn’t speak fluent Japanese or that he’s dumb. His experiences have aged him mentally and disintegrated his tolerance for melodrama and bullying. 

That being said his morality and impressions are a carefully crafted facade. He puts forth great effort to be seen as understanding and kind. Shoving his negative and albeit truer emotions, his helplessness, rage, and  desire for strength into an all-too-cramped closet. Only letting the door drift loose when topics of court, crime, murder, or justice is discussed. On those days Kendo is all he has to deal with his rage. 

Despite this he shows an interest in law and karma, taking the time to pick up books concerning such matters.

[color=gray][b]Backstory[/b][/color]
[indent]
Japan was supposed to be a fresh start for Caelum’s family. After his father had been laid off for reasons Caelum would never know, they were forced to meet the reality of their poor situation. For a time things that were normal to Caelum had begun to be taken away. Things like the internet, things like running water and lights. Things like a happy home. So it was sudden and propped high with hope when his father broke the news of work overseas. A high-paying contract to work on a new biological agent. It was god-sent, his father proclaimed. An answer to his desperate prayers and even as he said that, Caelum could feel an odd distance between them

In 2017 in the month of April, the family arrived in Japan. They were welcomed by the well known cherry blossoms that bloomed fervently and the insistent stares of the common folk. Caelum imagined that they were oglers at a circus, there to see the traveling freak show.

Everything was healing at first. Caelum was settling in, learning the language and his mother had found a teaching position at a local high-school. She was always really smart, quick-witted his father often called her. It was fun and new but it took a dark turn two years in. His father was deteriorating. It was as if a great fear had sparked a mania in him. He was angry all the time and desperate, so desperate. For days at a time he was in his office; usually yelling on the phone in broken japanese or begging for more time. Caelum remembered the begging the most, cause it was so foreign, so weak-sounding. 

Not even three months later had his mother fallen into an inexplicable coma and when the medical bills started piling up, his father was all too quick to pull the plug. Caelum despised his father for that. 

The next month his mother’s brother arrived in Japan; a black fire in his eyes as asked for custody of Caelum. Said it was his sister’s dying wish. And though Caelum was happy, he also felt a deep resentment for his father’s disinterested agreement. Its mostly a massive blur, the transition to living with Jasper and the total destruction of his former life. Jasper wanted an investigation into his sister’s death and for two long years nothing came up; recently though they’ve declared it as early onset of the Yellow Plague.   
    
The whole investigation and execution was sadly mishandled. At its core was a blatant injustice and indifference and Caelum was spiraling into depression because of it. Partially he struggled with the unknown of ‘why?’, subconsciously he recognized it was just a permanent twistedness in the story of his life.

Jasper Grove noticed this and throughout his own emotional baggage, sought to help Caelum. Jasper found work at the school as a Janitor, hoping to keep a better eye on the boy. Life with Jasper is stable and comfortable but lately his issues have begun swimming to the surface. Jasper's personal investigation under the guise of a janitor at Kenkōichi International Academy has made his life complicated but they both regret not getting justice and it weighs over them everyday.
