[sub][color=e4eafa]Name:[/color][/sub]
[indent]Cole Bentley[/indent]

[sub][color=e4eafa]Sex:[/color][/sub]
[indent]♂[/indent]

[sub][color=e4eafa]Age:[/color][/sub]
[indent]18 years old, September 25th[/indent]

[sub][color=e4eafa]Origin:[/color][/sub]
[indent]Blackharbour[/indent]

[sub][color=e4eafa]Physical description:[/color][/sub]
[indent]Cole’s hair flows freely in wavy motions across his forehead, being cut off at the ear. The black color of his hair contrasts slightly with his hazel colored eyes and white skin, further amplified by his black and white wardrobe. Standing at 6’1 or 185 cm tall, Cole stretches towards the ceiling casually. 

His fashion tends to be baggy to counter his long thin stature as his lean muscles and lack of body mass make him look quite slender otherwise. Although he aims to keep a confident posture, his hesitant nature often leads him to blend in with the environment giving off the impression that he is not as self assured as he’d like to think. You also never see him without his trusty camera hanging around his neck.

In terms of physical disabilities, Cole sometimes experiences migraines at random intervals. The cause is unknown but whenever they occur, Cole becomes very distraught and unable to function properly. Only once some time has passed and the headaches fade, can Cole start to get back to his duties.[/indent][/hider]

[hider= Chapter II | The Internal][sub][color=e4eafa]Personality:[/color][/sub]
[indent]Cole doesn’t like to stand out. The safest space to be is right in the middle, where nobody will see you or judge you by your cover. If he could choose to skip presentations and essays that involve classical speeches, you can be sure that Cole would stay in his seat.

That however, does not mean that Cole dislikes others or social contact in general. he just doesn’t trust the average joe by their first impression. He needs to get a good feeling on someone’s character before he decides to open up to them and that causes some major loner vibes to emanate from him for some people. Although he tries to let it slide, these things can and do occasionally bother him as he doesn’t want to be alone at all. These issues don’t get him uptight though, as he is mostly seen in a laid-back posture, just minding his own business without much fear of the outside.[/indent]

[sub][color=e4eafa]Hobbies:[/color][/sub]
[indent]Photography - Cole is in the photography club. He loves photography because it takes a picture out of the present that instantly becomes the past. It’s a physical (or digital) memory, But it also lets you look at the world through a different set of eyes and they can look much prettier that way.[/indent]

[sub][color=e4eafa]Out-look on life:[/color][/sub]
[indent]“Life is like… I’m on a train that’s supposed to arrive at all these destinations. But everytime it stops, I am [i]just[/i] too late to get out and I’m stuck riding this god awful bucket till the next stop… I’d love to get out and go somewhere for once.”[/indent]

[sub][color=e4eafa]Return the shopping trolley?:[/color][/sub]
[indent]Not only would Cole return his own trolley, he would return every trolley that was left in eyesight. If only to restore order and keep everything as it should be.[/indent][/hider]

[indent]No… just no, inhuman, gross, horrible, he’d rather die.[/indent]

[sub][color=e4eafa]Do they enjoy inflicting pain or receiving pain?:[/color][/sub]
[indent]Cole would feel very bad about hurtings others, and when he would receive the adrenaline boost upon actually inflicting pain, the guilt of knowing that he didn’t hate hurting others would haunt him for a long time.

When he receives pain, it never feels good. Pain is an inherently bad feeling and cole would always take the path with the least amount of pain.[/indent]

[indent]Cole has stolen a camera from an electronics store 2 years ago, he still uses the camera to this day.[/indent]

[sub][color=e4eafa]What would they do when the world ends?:[/color][/sub]
[indent]Panic and try to avoid dying. Cole does not want to die and would spend every second trying to avoid that fate at all costs, it’s way too soon to die.[/indent]

[sub][color=e4eafa]Would they like to be hero?:[/color][/sub]
[indent]He would love the thrill of being so confident and self-assured that you can be a public figure flying through the sky defeating bad guys. Obviously you can’t do that, so he just finds those dreams childish.[/indent][/hider]

[hider= Chapter IV | The Past & Future][sub][color=e4eafa]Biography:[/color][/sub]
[indent]Cole was raised by two very traditional parents. Old-school and set in their ways; they didn’t condone bad manners, taught you to take good care of your body while smoking a cigarette, and always treat ladies proper. It was at times suffocating to compare his own parents to the others and it caused some major trust issues towards them.[/indent]

[indent]When high school came around, Cole decided that he would try to fit in as much as possible to avoid any unneccesary attention to him and this way of life proved efficient, and as such he has lived the rest of his days all the way to college in this way; hiding in plain sight.[/indent]

[sub][color=e4eafa]How would they live their perfect life:[/color][/sub]
[indent]Cole would drop out of school and become a professional photographer of nature, going all around the world to make pictures of the most beautiful vista’s around.[/indent][/hider]

[hider= Chapter V | The Bloodbonds][sub][color=e4eafa]Bonds with family:[/color][/sub]
[indent]Like it says in the bio, Cole is almost a stranger in his own home. he respects and loves his parents, but without the foundation of trust and honesty, there’s almost never any meaningful relation to speak of.[/indent]

[sub][color=e4eafa]How many friends does he have?:[/color][/sub]
[indent]His best friend is his photo camera. That should say enough.[/indent]

[sub][color=e4eafa]How do they view Blackharbour:[/color][/sub]
[indent]Cole’s world is very small, so to him, Blackharbour is the entire world. He knows of the outside and sometimes wishes that he lived somewhere else, but that’d be too scary since he only knows Blackharbour and nothing else.[/indent][/hider]

[hider= Chapter VI | The Supernatural][sub][color=e4eafa]Have they ever seen ghosts:[/color][/sub]
[indent]Only in dreams.[/indent]

[sub][color=e4eafa]Do they believe in the supernatural:[/color][/sub]

[sub][color=e4eafa]Have they been to the Blackharbour lighthouse?:[/color][/sub]
