"To witness the reconnection of two distant souls; longing for each other's presence, by pen and paper. It is we who shall bear responsibility to such a plain, yet fulfilling undertaking! Well? Doesn't it just get your heart excited?!"
Name
Calum "Cal" Pierrepont
Age
19
Gender
Male
Physical Description
Cal is a young, effeminate adult of below average height (5'6), and lithe frame. His short, unkempt black hair is accompanied by a medium-brown hat. Has a fair complexion and rather squinty baby greens. While used on occasion and can see without them, Cal has a notable pair of black glasses.
What makes Cal stand out amongst his peers is that his postman attire is covered with a brown poncho draped over his shoulders. He does temporarily part with it along with his hat when he travels, as to not be blown away by the wind. They evidently hold sentimental value to him; precious gifts from his distant father a year ago. He has continued to wear them with pride since then.

Personality
A gleaming youth who's defined by his near-perpetual state of cheerful, almost melodramatic vibrancy, Cal takes life, cherishes it, and does his damnedest to make sure that the people around him do the same. Cordial to a fault, he profoundly values the notion of camaraderie and family. His moment of theatrics do tend to irk some, in which he'll quickly apologize and tone down his antics. To his credit, Cal can be serious and reliable when the situation calls for it. His answer to the call of the EMS is purely driven by altruistic motives; his family once being recipients of a life-changing letter delivered by that very same company. Nothing's a loftier purpose for him than making friends and making other people happy.
Much of Cal's present nature had only manifested quite recently after recovering from a great ordeal that his family had suffered from and taking a turn for the better. His mother's family (uncle and grandfather) were major catalysts to his character's development; their optimism, quirks, and valuable lifelong lessons gradually rooted on him as they worked to inspirit his mother during her days of depression.
Being more attached to home and his mother most of his childhood, Cal had little interaction with children his age. Even now, it's easy to spot lingering moments of genuine awkwardness from his otherwise forced, exuberant persona. He is also easily driven by his emotions; most likely ending up as the first to cry at the sight of a heartfelt scene. Romance is a genre he's explored in his bookish ventures, but never personally delved with and as such, is very modest and shy when confronted with the topic.

Biography
Born and raised in the county of Cornwall, UK, Calum Pierrepont has had a decent upbringing, for the most part. He had very loving parents, was properly educated and had an unperturbed, if sheltered childhood. Most was well, except for one thing, which started as a small dent in their family's relationship and, in due course, expanded as a wide rift. Cal's workaholic father (Abraham "Abe" Pierrepont) wasn't around much, on account of his work and having to constantly switch to faraway workplaces. His mother (Mila Pierrepont) had to quit her own work in order to take care of him. Still, Cal had always admired how hardworking his father was, longed for the days when he would return home, and his faith never wavered. And supposedly, so did his mother.
Eventually, the company Abe worked for promoted him and became one of its leaders. In turn, he grew even more invested and passionate in his line of work, which stemmed from his own father's assiduous work ethic. The days that he would come home became even less. And this meant that he grew more distant from the his son and wife. This culminated in an unfortunate fallout, and then divorce. Obligated to stay with his mother, there was no longer a reason to stay in Cornwell and the two of them migrated to the small island of Erusea, where Mila's family resided.
A few months have passed since they moved at the island, and Mila was looking even more downcast after their divorce. Realization struck: measures could have been made to prevent their separation in the first place, which they were blind to. His mother's progressively wavering faith and accumulating impatience, his father's extremely skewed priorities, and his own inability to take action. Cal spent his days being by his downhearted mother's side; his resolve and nature slowly but surely nurturing in no small part due to his uncle and grandfather's efforts.
A letter and package arrived at the family's doorstep on Cal's 18th birthday, courtesy of the Erusean Mail Service, and it came from none other than Abe; the first time he's ever done so to communicate with them. The letter in summary pertained to how deeply regretful he was, how he misses the two of them, and how he wants to start over. It was clear that his parents still truly loved each other, despite their remoteness. The package came with a clean, brown hat and poncho, which he immediately recognized; the plain-looking but rather expensive leather garments that he really fancied but unable to afford.
In time, the family's relationship mended itself, letter after letter that had been sent back and forth between the family. After everything that had transpired, Cal had realized the grave importance a letter holds, and how keeping in touch with loved ones was paramount. As he waited for the day that his mother and father would reconcile and re-marry, Cal has decided to become a postman for the Erusean Mail Service as a start; to make sure that each letter, with everything that it entails, was securely passed on to their recipients. He was resolved to explore his boundaries, live his life to the fullest by making bonds, and making other people happy.
