Captain's Log, Stardate November 26th, 2018, 1330 hours. I have entered a spectacular binary system in the Calaveras sector… college. It appears as though the local males have an unusual mating call to attract females that involves unintelligible yelling and headbutting each other. Remarkably similar to caterpillars fighting turf wars.

I think I should inform them of how silly it is to imitate caterpillars to get a female's attention.

Academics

A child prodigy in molecular biology, Charlie was already breaking down the theories of thermodynamics and energy conservation before the age of 10. After high school, he earned a full scholarship to the University of Colorado along with an assistantship normally reserved for graduate students. He attends normal classes (and some honors courses) like everyone else, but on the side he also works for the Biological Life Sciences Department and peer mentors struggling Biology and Chemistry majors. His current work involves efforts to identify a new route of exposure for Bacillus anthracis, the bacterium that causes Anthrax, among other pet projects.

Background

There's nothing particularly fancy about Charleton Tiberious Wheatley's story. His village wasn't sacked by a band of raiding goblins.
He doesn't come from a broken home. In fact, outside of his exceptional intelligence, there is nothing particularly interesting to note.
His father is a mathematics professor at the University of Montpellier in France, while his mom is a free spirit artist with a degree in musical and art theory.

Charlie is a dual citizen of both France and the United States, although he was actually born in Kankakee, Illinois. Or as he would call it, "the armpit of America, last one out turn off the lights." Homeschooled his entire life made it easy for Charlie to bounce back and forth between the two countries with his parents as their respective fields required. The Wheatleys aren't a rich family in terms of material, but they are very loving and supporting of each other. He has no siblings.

RP Hooks

• UCC Student: Starting his freshman year this fall semester, Charlie is a small fish in a big pond.
• Dual Citizen: Charlie, fluent in both English and French, is a dual citizen of the respective countries and often travels to and from his two homes.
• Pop Culture Ignorance: Having been homeschooled his whole life, Charlie has never been exposed to most of the things that the average teenager has. (Rough translation: ALL things)

Personality

Charlie is the product of his environment and is woefully ignorant of social nuance. This provides him with a unique perspective of having absolutely no awareness of what other people might think about his antics. Whether it's the way he dresses or the off-the-wall things he says, Charlie doesn't feel the imminent doom of social suicide like the average teenager would. This can be a double-edged sword, however, as he can easily become the subject of people's ridicule without even realizing it.

Due to spending his entire life homeschooled and being the subject of moving around the world constantly, it didn't leave much time for Charlie to make friends. This doesn't just effect his social ques, it also plays a strong role in his unique interest and oddly obsessed knack for wanting to collect random things.

Because of his upbringing, Charlie has seen pretty much every movie in existence (or at least he thinks so) and has a wild over imagination when it comes to reality versus movies. He owns his own zombie survival guide. Was there a weird sound coming from the basement? NOPE! The key to survival in a world full of the unexplained is to not be curious about it at all.

In all seriousness though, despite all the oddities that make Charlie who he is, there's a certain friendly, accepting vibe from him to anyone. He's honest (probably TOO much so), loyal, and if you make a friend out of him it's for life. He's equal parts aloof and concerned. A walking contradiction on many levels. He's Charlie.
