DESCRIPTION OF PERSONALITY: This is your chance to let us know about the type of character you're handling. The more detailed this is, the easier it will be for us to write how your character behaves and performs during results.

MANAGER: Aspen Chaud - Chris' former boss in Galveston Island Wrestling. The two grew fond of each other when they both experienced rough patches in life. Aspen seems to be one of the few who can get through to Chris when he is thinking irrationally; probably because Aspen is known for her silver tongue. She will join Chris at ringside for his matches and get involved when he is a pinch, but she takes great care to never get caught. Perhaps her most valuable contribution at ringside is when she speaks to Chris to calm him down and keep him focused. The two are not a couple and although they know each other personally, their relationship today should be considered strictly business. 

MANAGER PICTURE BASE: Kim Kardashian

SUPPORTING CAST: Freddy Almer - Chris Callum's trainer. Isaac Kaplan - Chris' dead boyfriend who frequently appears as an apparition. Emily Claiborne - Chris' ex-girlfriend who attempted to reveal his sexuality in the past. She was beaten up by Chris and Aspen. Alexis Terry - one of Chris' main rivals, though they often find themselves working together through Aspen. 

SUPPORTING CAST BASE: Alexis Terry - Layla El. The rest aren't especially important.

**A lot of Chris Callum's story was told in a fed where character development was considered a vital part of the match roleplay; as such, there is quite a bit of important material that took place off camera. I will highlight the off camera material in yellow to differentiate what took place on screen and what did not. I consider the highlighted portions to be off limits, but it can give a better understanding of the character to the staff.**

Chris Callum's career technically began two years before he arrived in Galveston Island Wrestling, but he would be the first to admit that he didn't develop into a skilled wrestler until he stepped on the island. In 2013 he entered a battle royal and won the Deep South Championship for the first time from the champion Ryan Cavallari. Chris remained with the company for several more months until he lost his championship to Devlynn Smith, breaking his leg in the process. The injury left Chris sidelined for several months, but also severely depressed. He went to work in an oil field in Wyoming while living in a van and occasionally working independent promotions in the area.

He never thought that he would return to the ring full time again until Galveston Island Wrestling relaunched in March 2015. He was invited back into the fold by Aspen Chaud, the commissioner of the company at the time. Desperate to fit in once again, he met Emily Claiborne, an office staff member in the company's headquarters. The two quickly developed a relationship and Chris was enjoying the domesticity of life in Galveston. When he arrived in Galveston, he was set to face off against Devlynn Smith on the first show. It was announced when the show began that the winner of the match would be crowned the Deep South Champion and also be entered into the Seize the Moment Ladder Match for the Undisputed Champion. Chris was victorious, and his revenge story earned him the admiration of the fans. Chris Callum won the Seize the Moment match and became the Undisputed Champion. One week later, he also became the Television Champion, marking him as the first ever walking triple crown champion in the company's long history.

Under immense pressure to keep up high quality performances, Chris went home to Berkeley and met with his trainer, Freddy, and his ex-boyfriend  and former training partner Isaac. He learned that Freddy's health had deteriorated to the point where Isaac had to move in with Freddy permanently. Isaac told Chris that he would never be happy as long as he was hiding who he really was and the two reignited their relationship. Back in Galveston, Emily was beginning to look into Chris' life to an extent that made Chris uncomfortable. The two broke up in a loud way. In the ring, Aspen Chaud's enemy Alexis Terry had won a shot at Chris Callum's Deep South Championship. When the two fought, Alexis Terry used brass knuckles to pick up the win, breaking Callum's jaw in the process. Callum had lost the Television Championship earlier in the night. Fearing the worst for the man she had hand picked to be the future of the company, Aspen Chaud took Chris back to her home in Los Angeles to help him recover. 

While in Los Angeles, it became clear that Aspen had an obsession with Chris that went far beyond business. She made sexual passes at him before, but this time sought to finally carry through with them. Chris rejected her and several days later both Isaac and Emily end up at Aspen's home. Chris finally admits to all of them that he is gay, but implores everyone to keep the secret because he wants to be known as a great wrestler, not a great gay wrestler. All of them reluctantly agree, although Isaac is angry at Aspen for taking control of Chris' recovery and scheduling him to defend the Undisputed Championship against Johnny Violence in a first blood match. Emily partners with a reporter to spread the news about Chris' sexuality, but when Aspen and Chris get wind of this, they physically assault their enemies to gain compliance.

At the next pay-per-view, Chris defeats Johnny Violence in the first blood match. However, Bronx Valescence was beginning to gain traction as one of the most popular wrestlers in the company. This bothered Chris quite a lot. He felt that he had worked too hard to be getting a second place reaction. When Bronx became the number one contender, Chris and Aspen decided to protect their position at the top of the company by working together. They defeat Bronx when Aspen enlists the help of Alexis Terry, of whom Bronx was a mutual enemy. 

Disgusted by Chris' actions, Isaac leaves Chris. He wants Chris to come out to the world before his title defense against Alioth Starre at Moment of Glory, but Chris is unwilling until he realizes how much he misses Isaac. Chris does indeed come out before his match at Moment of Glory, and much to his surprise, there is no strong reaction either way. The crowd still hates him for what he did to Bronx. After defeating Alioth Starre at Moment of Glory, Chris again must face Alioth and Bronx in a three way match. He wins the match, but still receives no love from fans.

At some point, Chris and Isaac break up completely. Isaac feels so disgusted with himself for ever trusting Chris that he commits suicide. Chris goes on to defeat Katie Keller in another defense, but not long after the company closes after it is revealed that Aspen and Chris used money to fund their travels.

After Galveston: Callum wins the ECWF United States Championship and leaves the company after a contract disputed several months after. Callum loses to Alioth Starre in Alioth's retirement match in London with Monarchy Wrestling.
