personality in one word, lazy. if he's not interested, he'll do one of two things: fall asleep or wander off. hates activity of any kind. he's not very talkative, but that doesn't mean he's not friendly. in fact, once you get to know him, he's pretty affectionate, even if that particular brand of affection is just him hanging all over whomever he considers a friend in lieu of finding an actual place to lean. cali isn't the type to try and make friends on his own, and he lacks manners of any kind, so getting him to even so much as introduce himself on his own is a total chore.
california's one distinguishing feature, as far as personality goes (beyond that lazy bullshit), is his sense of morals, which is to say he has none. if you have something and he wants it, he will feel no guilt about swiping it from your distracted ass. if he gets bored with whatever-it-is later, he'll pawn it for cash. no hard feelings, bro. cali has a thing about money; that is, he likes it. he has little to no use for magic and generally doesn't even have his wand on him. he finds spell-casting and classes too much effort, anyway.
appearance average height, average weight. shoulder-length blond hair; usually falls over his eyes and is never styled. green eyes, usually glazed over. skin is tan -- not because he's athletic, but because he's prone to taking naps in the sun. lacks muscle mass of any kind. likes to wear his wizard robes because they're easy to hide shit in, but generally sheds those and wears shorts and tank tops in the summer. not much stands out about him.

history angela myers, a runaway witch with a terrible taste in men, was barely 17 when she was knocked up by her latest bad choice. the dude peaced out soon as she told him, and angela, being a prideful brat, refused to ask her parents for help but instead turned to her dear old grandpa, a fairly wealthy old man living out in the middle of nowhere on a farm in Wales. he took her in and not a few months later kicked the bucket, and so it was angela was able to bear her child and raise him in (sort of) peace. she was inexperienced and a terrible mother, but her kid was pretty and looked more or less looked like her, so she named him after her favorite place in the world and did her best to raise him right. which was, to say, not at all.
cali was raised by a series of ignorant babysitters and a hardly-there mother who cherished her party-all-night-sleep-all-day lifestyle over everything else. this isn't one of those bawwwww poor me sob stories, though, or even anything else remotely that cliche. california did great on his own, and eventually his mother came around and realized what a shitty person she was. they never really bonded, though, or had that super close relationship you'd think a single mother and her single child would. angela went back to school and worked on a degree in magical creature relations, and california learned how to steal money from her purse when she left it sitting on the counter. everything worked out.
angela was the one who pushed for cali to go to some sort of magic school. spain, she figured was exotic and sounded simply wonderful, and so cali was enrolled before he could say 'wut'. he dug in his heels, but his mother had the final say. in the end, she allowed him to bring one pet to remember his childhood on the farm, and so california (being california) picked derpy, the fat black-and-white spotted cow that he sometimes rode around in lieu of a horse. angela (being california's mom and therefore much more snarky than him) transfigured the cow into a mouse, handed it to him, then off to firefox u it was.

misc is good at subjects like astronomy or divinations that don't necessarily involve magic, but generally wont even try when it comes to anything else. is allergic to a whole list of items and so is ridiculously picky when it comes to food.
