Cali Still



The Don of Daylight, whose secret identity is Cali Still, is an Assassin in the Department of Mary Sues, Freelance Division, because that is where his partner Miah Arthur is assigned.

Origin
Cali is a Super Hero wannabe from the Mystery Men movieverse. He fell through a plot hole one day, right outside Miah Arthur's RC. After a rather bumpy first meeting, Miah admitted the inevitable-that Cali was intended to be her new partner.

Appearance
He is about 5' 6" with a slender build. His super suit consisted of light body armor that he painted green, green fingerless gloves, green rimmed mirror sun glasses, boots, a tac vest, a green t-shirt combat boots, and baggy blue jeans. Since he was recruited as a PPC Agent, he wears a modified version of this as his uniform. He has kept the green body armor, shin guards, and green rimmed sunglasses, but everything else is now black. He has bright blue hair that is so messy that it seems to have a life of its own. He never takes off his sunglasses, so no one knows for sure what color his eyes are.

Personality and Habits
Young, a bit naive, hyperactive, sarcastic. He is somewhat lacking in both his coordination, and in his connection with reality. He likes to strike dramatic poses, and say things like "I'll save you!" He is a bit of a neat freak, and spends a lot of time cleaning. He has an amazing knack for organizing just about any mess, even one of Miah's making. He likes side kick style gadgets, and collects mail order spy gear, such as decoder rings. He loves small animals and they seem to love him back. He has a decent singing voice, and finds that he enjoys singing Irish drinking songs.

According to Dr. Freedenberg in FicPysch (one of the places Miah tried to get rid of him), Cali has a marginal, but formed personality. Thus far, he has not developed much knowledge about the PPC or any particular canon. He has been following Miah's lead while he finds his feet and more fully develops his personality. His personality has really blossomed since he joined the PPC, and he has even opened up a bit about his backstory.

His Super Powers are the ability to see in the dark (but only during daylight hours), to move with complete silence (but only if there is a deaf person in the general vicinity), and he has a solar powered tazer whip. Unfortunately, he does not have much skill yet with his whip. On his first trip, while conscious, through the halls of HQ, Miah distracted him by telling him he needed to remove his whip from his belt. For now, he has followed Miah's lead and carries a tranquilizer dart pistol as his primary weapon. He also carries a baton.

Most others in the PPC, including his partner Miah, believe that he has no actual powers, and is simply suffering from a moderate delusion.

Partner and Other Creatures Living in 'The Lair'
Agent Miah Arthur is Cali's partner in the PPC. She is hopelessly messy. She is also short tempered and violent. She has been around the PPC for longer than Cali (though not as long as she likes to make it seem), and has a much better developed knowledge of the continua they are sent into. She is a decent cook, and maintains a full, if small, kitchen in the RC. Cali finds that real, cooked meals go a long way toward making up for Miah's less charming qualities.


 * Castor: a small, fluffy, gray kitten with wings and opposable thumbs. He is a creation of Agent Eileen's, and therefore has a tendency toward mad science when he is bored. Agent Eileen gave Castor to Miah and Cali after the unfortunate incident of the litter of kittens working together to spike the Flowers plant food with Bleepsinthe. So far the idea of keeping Castor out of trouble has not worked too well. Miah and Cali think they may have been able to make peace with DoSAT now, but they are still being ultra careful with the technology.


 * Magee: an NCIS mini-McGee who speaks with an Irish accent, sings off-color drinking songs (not always Irish in origin), uses rude words, and collaborates with Castor to manipulate technology. He prefers his bacon cooked.


 * Abbey: an NCIS mini-Abby who speaks with a Redwall Woodlander accent, has a serious sweet tooth, likes Magee, cannot tolerate caffeine as well as her original, and also collaborates with Castor on the manipulation of technology.


 * Ronan: a mini-Wraith. He is being fostered in The Lair until the pair of agents that requested him are out of training. He does not speak, but is very communicative with body language and facial expressions. He is dressed like Ronon Dex--brown leather clothes, tiny gun (capable of making small cigarette-like burns), and dreadlocks. He is rather messy, likes his bacon raw, and enjoys leaving sucker marks from his feeding hand--on walls, on people, on other minis, etc.


 * Hauk'Tauri: a mini-Unas. He has not been able to show much personality as of yet, as he was stuck in an location inaccessible until the agents had gathered enough charges to interrupt his fic of origin. He has mid-sized horns, medium brown skin with dark green mottling, a tiny spear, bone collar necklace, and wears crudely crafted furs. He had already accepted Cali (thanks to chocolate energy bar distribution) by the end of the mission.
