• Calcharo views parenthood as an extension of his responsibility as a leader. He’s fiercely protective, ensuring his child is safe from harm or betrayal, but he instills discipline and self-reliance, teaching them the harsh realities of the world.

• Just as with his mercenary code, Calcharo would always fulfill his promises to his child. If he says he’ll be there for an important event, he’ll move mountains to make it happen—even if it means delegating critical Ghost Hounds operations.

• He doesn’t sugarcoat lessons. Instead of merely explaining, he involves his child in hands-on experiences, whether it’s solving practical problems or understanding trust and betrayal in relationships.

• While he prioritizes toughness, Calcharo emphasizes the importance of fairness and helping the vulnerable. He’d tell his child stories of how the Ghost Hounds helped struggling communities and teach them to wield strength with purpose.

• Calcharo would train his child in combat and survival skills. Though his lessons are intense, they’re laced with subtle encouragement, instilling confidence.

• Late at night, his child would sit by his side as he tells tales from the Lawless Zone and the Ghost Hounds’ exploits. His stoic face would occasionally soften as he shares hard-won wisdom and moments of victory.

• Given his expertise with bioelectricity and magnetic forces, Calcharo might teach his child about machines and technology, turning repairs or upgrades into quality bonding time.

• Inspired by his experiences in Huanglong, he makes an effort to celebrate milestones—no matter how small—by organizing small gatherings or preparing a favorite meal.

• Calcharo’s stoic nature makes it difficult for him to express affection openly. While he deeply loves his child, his displays of care often come through actions rather than words.

• Having been shaped by betrayal, Calcharo has a hard time trusting even those closest to him. He constantly worries his child might grow to resent or turn against him.

• Leading the Ghost Hounds means Calcharo often struggles to dedicate as much time as he wants to his child, though he compensates by making the time they do have together meaningful.

• When his child is upset, Calcharo offers quiet reassurance, placing a steady hand on their shoulder or sitting with them in silence until they’re ready to talk.

• He rarely gives verbal compliments, but his proud smile or approving nod speaks volumes when his child achieves something significant.

• Any threat to his child is met with unparalleled ferocity. The full power of his resonance would emerge if anyone dared harm them.

• Despite his busy life, Calcharo would surprise his child with moments of unanticipated warmth, like taking them on a scenic walk or creating a safe space for them to share their thoughts.

• Calcharo wants his child to grow into someone strong and self-reliant, able to navigate life’s challenges without being crushed by betrayal or hardship.

• He is determined to give his child the stability and support he lacked growing up, striving to build a brighter future not tainted by the shadows of his past.

• Calcharo would teach his child the importance of loyalty, keeping promises, and balancing strength with compassion, ensuring they carry on his legacy as a just and honorable person.
