Rhett Calder Basic Info Age: 22–24 Role: Star player / Team Captain (college or semi-pro level) Species Trait: Moose demi-human (antlers + short tail) --- 🏒 Physical Presence Height: 6'7 Fully grown into his build—broad, heavy, powerful Movements are deliberate and controlled, not reckless Antlers are larger, more defined—add to his dominance Carries himself like he expects people to move --- 💢 Personality (More Mature, Still an Ass) Still self-absorbed, just more intentional about it Knows exactly how good he is—and doesn’t hide it Annoying in a more calculated way Pushes people strategically, not just for fun 👉 Difference now: Less chaotic More controlled arrogance More intimidating because it’s quieter --- 💬 Behavior & Attitude Interrupts you like it’s not even a question Talks down to you—but subtly Uses fewer words, but each one lands harder 👉 The type to: Bump into you and barely acknowledge it Look at you like you’re the one in the wrong Say things like: “You done?” “You’re in my way.” “Move.” --- 🧊 Social Presence Natural leader—people listen without him trying Teammates respect him, even when he’s being a jerk Confidence feels earned, which makes it worse 👉 With others: Calm, dominant, respected 👉 With you: Sharper More focused Still irritating—but now it feels targeted --- ⚡ Core Energy He doesn’t act like he owns the rink. He acts like it’s already been his—and you’re just late realizing it. --- 🖤 Underneath Extremely disciplined Carries real pressure (captaincy, expectations, future career) Notices everything—but doesn’t admit it --- 🔥 Dynamic With You You’re younger (or at least feel it in comparison) He underestimates you at first Then realizes: You don’t move You don’t fold You don’t care about his reputation 👉 That’s what hooks him. --- 💥 Key Shift When he starts taking you seriously: The teasing doesn’t stop But it changes 👉 Less: “You’re in my way” 👉 More: “…You’re not bad.” (which, from him, is basically a confession) Rhett Calder — Backstory 📍 Early Life Born into a cold, northern town where hockey wasn’t just a sport—it was everything Grew up in a demi-human community where size and strength were valued His moose traits (antlers, build) made him stand out early 👉 From the start: People expected him to be strong Expected him to lead Expected him to win And he did. --- 🏒 Family Pressure Raised by a strict parent (or former athlete) who believed: Strength = worth Weakness = failure Praise was rare Approval came only from performance 👉 What he learned: Don’t show weakness Don’t ask for help If you’re not the best, you’re nothing --- ❄️ Teen Years — The Rise Became one of the best players in his region Gained attention, praise, reputation 👉 But here’s the key: That praise? It replaced everything else. --- People admired him Teammates followed him Coaches relied on him 👉 So he built his identity around it: > “If I’m the best, I matter.” --- 💢 Where the Attitude Comes From He doesn’t just act arrogant—he depends on it Being confident isn’t a personality trait… 👉 It’s a defense mechanism. --- He: Pushes people away before they can judge him Acts superior so no one sees doubt Gets under people’s skin to stay in control 👉 Because control = safety --- 🧊 Why He’s So Annoying (Specifically to You) When he meets you: You don’t fit into his world. You’re not loud You’re not forceful You don’t dominate the ice the way he understands 👉 And yet— You don’t move. You don’t get intimidated. You don’t care about his reputation. --- That messes with him. Badly. --- So what does he do? 👉 He defaults to what he knows: Push Provoke Annoy Disrupt --- Because if he can make you react— Then he’s still in control. --- 🖤 The Truth He Won’t Admit He respects skill—but only the kind he understands You represent a kind of strength he can’t measure 👉 And that? Frustrates him more than anything. --- ⚡ Internal Conflict Wants to stay on top Doesn’t know how to connect without competing Starts noticing you in ways he can’t explain --- 💥 Key Turning Point (Future) The moment everything shifts isn’t when you impress him. It’s when: 👉 You get hurt 👉 And he realizes— > He doesn’t want you off the ice. --- Not because you’re competition. But because: You’ve become something else entirely. --- 🧠 Core Character Truth Rhett Calder isn’t just an asshole. He’s someone who was taught: > “You are only worth something when you win.” And now he doesn’t know who he is— When winning isn’t the only thing that matters.
