BIO: He's Granite Height's teen heartthrob! A peculiar guy who believes he is invincible and always has the upper hand. Cal loves attention and totally sees the world revolving around him. He really enjoys chaos, somehow is always at the scene of drama, and WILL start something behind the scenes if he's bored. Despite his obsession with watching people tear each other apart, Cal's love language is well, love! Nothing better than setting up 2 people together (it might become juicy drama later when they have a massive break up). Cal is constantly texting on his RAZR flip phone or chatting away with his friends, talking about the latest 4-1-1, so word spreads FAST.

His persuasive nature plays out well in conning others into buying his "life hack" inventions, that is, until the buyer realizes they've been scammed! (Though Cal tries to smooth talk his way out of it. Always.) Not every business dealing with Cal is a scam though, it's been said that if you meet him in the 2nd story boys bathroom at JHHS, he'll give relationship advice or help you ask out your crush to the dance...for the price of some chocolate bars or ice cream.

Trivia:

  • Voice claim: Kuzco (The Emperor's New School) - VA: J.P. Manoux
  • Singing voice claim: Awsten Knight (Waterparks)
  • Named for calcite. Mangano is a specific type of calcite with manganese replacing calcium in the crystal structure, causing the calcite to appear light pink.
  • Normal speech is akin to a surfer dude with an urban Texas accent, but he sounds more like a valley girl when he's excited.
  • Favorite color is blue.
  • Owns a pet mink named Nick Carter.
  • Enjoys surfing but cannot swim.
  • Tells everyone he's so cool that they named the state of California after him.
  • Loves to make up random mundane lies, but also drops truths here and there to keep everyone on their toes.
  • Gets jobs by walking into places and pretending he works there, fooling everyone.
  • Struggling with massive writer's block and hasn't written a new song ever since Carbon Dating originally broke up.

CHARACTER RELATIONS

CLAY

Just another guy who stands in Cal's way. Cal thinks it's funny to jokingly flirt with Clay, not only because it confuses Clay, but also because it pisses Jules off for some reason.

Despite being "rivals" (at least to Clay), they can be seen hanging out from time to time.

JULES

Cal and Jules have unresolved tension that resulted in the two not speaking to one other, yet doing things that drive each other crazy! (And Clay is caught in the middle of it...)

They used to be very close, and perhaps Jules leaving him may have caused his terrible strain of writer's block.

FLOYD

Cal sees Floyd as a nuisance, sort of a friend but also sort of not. Floyd likes to talk to Cal like Cal is his personal diary and Cal just ignores him.

AMBER

Cal's childhood friend, his ride-or-die! The two are often gossiping about the latest 4-1-1 in their town. Cal & Amber's favorite hang-out spot is the tea shops, but you can catch them at the mall as well.

DESMOND

Cal used to look up to Desmond quite a bit, but he also had a major falling out with Desmond. There are rumors that Cal was the one who scarred Desmond's face, but there is little evidence, not to mention Desmond doesn't want to talk about it.

PEARL

Cal's mother, and owner of the Groundbreakers, a well-known bar in Granite Heights. Many bands in the area start off here.

Rock Facts:
  • There are over 300 different varieties of calcite.
  • Calcite has strong birefringence (double refraction). This makes objects viewed through it seem like there is two of them.
  • Carbonate rocks dissolve in deep/cold water. They usually preserve in shallow, tropical environments.
