Before you post your toplevel comment, please:
1. Check the first letter of your character's name as its written in our tags. N-Z names comment here, and A-M names go to the other post.
2. Make a note in your comment if anything especially triggering or graphic might show up in the Calibration. If you're not sure if something's worth noting or not, we suggest listing it anyway, just to err on the side of caution.
3. Put your character's name (it can be shortened or different from the tag, this time) in the subject of your comment. This will help visitors find you easily, and help us update the list below.
4. Post your comment! It's fine if everyone's Calibrations end up looking and reading very different from one another. As long as you're having fun and following our guidelines, you're good to go. :)
5. If you have any questions or concerns during Calibrations, you are welcome to send them towards the mod team at any time, as always.

[It was seeing stuff like this that made Keith feel almost lucky he didn't have a big family. To an orphan who'd been an only child growing up with a single parent before being on his own, three kids was a big family. Especially because he knew none of his extended family. He put the device down.]

What happened to your sister?

[She seemed to be the only one that supported Ulaz's less 'athletic' tendencies.]

[scalpelofmarmora]

I don't know in the end. I lost track of her after joining the Blade of Marmora. I do know however that her name doesn't appear in the Galra Empire's database of soldiers, alive or deceased.

[His mother was actually far more supportive than she had come across. She had said nothing to him about it. There were things one had to do in certain situations]

[tempredmental]

So she's not a soldier, then. That could be a good thing.

[Maybe. Keith didn't know enough about Galra civilian life, only what his mom had experienced from having seen her memories while in the abyss.]

[scalpelofmarmora]

No, she's not a soldier as far as I can tell. I would say it is better than being a soldier.

She might have lived longer.

[tempredmental]

I'm sorry you never got the chance to find her.

[Keith had a feeling there was a bond there, and he did truly feel bad that Ulaz was never reunited with her.]

[scalpelofmarmora]

[they had a bonding moment!]

Thank you. It was something that I had hoped I'd be able to do.

[tempredmental]

Do you think she'll ever know what you've done?

[Keith almost felt bad that she might never know what happened to Ulaz.]

[scalpelofmarmora]

Unless someone tells her? Unlikely. I did not leave information for her and even if I did, I wouldn't know where it should go.

[tempredmental]

[Keith nodded, looking a little sad.]

I'm sorry you lost track of each other.

[Keith understood loss from his own firsthand experience. It was something that seemed to keep following him...]

[scalpelofmarmora]

In truth, I am sorry that I did not try harder to keep her in my life even despite this. It was better though, that she not be exposed and possibly a target because of me.

[tempredmental]

Yeah.

[Keith was quiet for a moment.]

Did Shiro tell you? About Sendak and Earth?

[scalpelofmarmora]

He did. At least some of it. I doubt I was told everything, since my knowing wouldn't change much.

[tempredmental]

Yeah.

So... I get it... not wanting people to figure out the connection. Sendak attacked Earth because that was where we were from. Someone using your sister against you doesn't seem like all that far of a stretch.

[scalpelofmarmora]

No, that is something I completely expected from them. Going after someone's family was practically second nature for some. So she could know nothing of what I was doing.

[tempredmental]

That, and having people know she was related to you was dangerous.

[Keith gave Ulaz a sympathetic look.]

You made a good decision to protect her.

[scalpelofmarmora]

Exactly. They are always watching so any reason to suspect that using others, including family. She already had to deal with that from my father and brother; she didn't need it from me.

It was hard, but it was for the best.
