Cal

Calvin Nathan Gray

Calvin "Cal" Gray is the local radio host of Pinereach, being the only radio personality on the only radio station in the area: Redding-Pinereach Open Broadcast (KRPO, aka "Kerpo FM"). Cal grew up in the Pinereach area, as did both of his parents; in fact, his father is the man who preceded Cal as Pinereach's local radio host. Though the remoteness of Pinereach would ordinarily be an inconvenience, Cal is working towards a degree in communications through an online university.

Description

Cal is a young man of rather stocky build, with a scruffy beard and a glint in his eye (either from his contact lenses or his mischievous nature; it's hard to tell). His style is definitively casual, composed of t-shirts and khakis with his iconic headphones ever-present around his neck. Calvin's voice is ubiquitous in the Pinereach area, cool and confident with the power to set others at ease without much effort.

Personality

Calvin is known for his laid-back, casual demeanor on-air, though he can get quite worked up about his passions (music chief amongst these). He is a tad bit scatterbrained but combats this through rigorous scheduling. He tends to hop from interest to interest, though music and mystery are central to his train of thought. He is definitively an extrovert, and prefers being around people then being alone -thus, occasionally the isolation of the studio is rather depressing to him.

Career

Calvin is the host of Pinereach's only non-government radio station, KRPO, succeeding his father in the position as of 2015. He provides a varied array of content for the station's listeners, ranging from the essential twice-daily news updates to a diverse selection of music to even a brief section on "the unexplained".

Hobbies

While talking is probably his best skill, Cal dabbles in a number of pastimes. He is an amateur musician and podcaster, but he also has tried his hand at many other crafts... most ending in disastrous failure. However, he has a particular interest in the mysterious happenings of his hometown... perhaps too much for his own good.

Trivia

• Calvin dislikes the idea of having an "alter ego" radio personality, partly because that's simply never how the KRPO station has done things but mostly because the Lassen Forest community already knows him too well to bother trying.
• Cal loves seafood more than he probably should, and is a frequent haunt of the town's only sushi restaurant.
