Calix Solis

Calix Solis is one of Almoons' protagonists, and the last one to be introduced. He's a maxi, who spent his childhood training for battle and moving around with his mother, father, and sister until he ran away and joined the Jammers. When he was fifteen, he became hard of hearing through an explosion, and has been treated unkindly by his father ever since.

Appearance
Calix is a lynx maxi, meaning his fur color changes with seasons: brown in spring/summer and gray in fall/winter. He has pointed ears tipped with black fur, black spots, excessive fur on cheekbones, a short tail, and dark amber eyes. His left ear is severely damaged and furless. He's 6’ 4" and physically fit, which is reflected on appearance.

Personality
Calix has a hard, prickly shell that eventually turns softer if you break through. He's defensive and bitter towards almost everyone at first, though very protective towards people he cares about; he won't usually show it in an obvious way but he'll do everything in his power to keep them safe and healthy. However, Calix has to trust you a lot to get to this point, which doesn't happen to many people. He's hostile, defensive, and stubborn but when it comes down to it he'll sacrifice himself in a heartbeat.

Background
Calix grew up in a normal environment for a maxi with his parents and older sister. Not necessarily good overall, but not unusual for his species. Expectations were high and training was harsh—maxis don't have mercy for weakness—but he survived throughout childhood. When he was fifteen, he got caught in a human explosion that left him severely hard of hearing. His disability created a big disadvantage for him and made it difficult to meet the previous standards. Unfortunately, his father in particular wasn't very happy when his son started to struggle reaching his impossible expectations.
