If he's not in Cowboy getup he's usually shirtless and resting with his hat over his eyes. It's very rare to find him in anything other than that.

[color=#9F0C07][sub][b]Personality:[/b][/sub][/color]
[indent]Colter Burnett is a man caught between two worlds, his roots in Texas ranching and his life now in New Rome. But he carries both identities with ease. At heart, he’s the same cowboy who grew up under the wide skies of the Four Sixes Ranch: respectful, steady, and deeply loyal. He embodies the old values of southern hospitality and is dripping with southern charm, rarely raising his voice unless defending someone he loves, saying yes ma'am or no ma'am and yes sir or no sir. His accent and manners mark him as a Texan through and through, something he wears proudly even in a place as cosmopolitan as New Rome.

Fearlessness defines him in the arena, but outside of it, his courage takes on quieter forms. He is unafraid to be vulnerable with Niko, openly affectionate with their children, and unashamed to speak out when something feels wrong. Colter thrives on action and challenge, but as a husband and father, he’s learned patience and tenderness. He loves adventure, whether that means riding a bull or exploring New Rome’s twisting streets, but he always returns to the steady center of his life: his family.

Colter is not without flaws. His restlessness sometimes clashes with the structured calm of New Rome, and his fierce protective streak can make him stubborn when it comes to letting others take risks. He occasionally struggles with self-doubt, wondering if a cowboy truly belongs in a place of demigods, warriors, and history as rich as New Rome’s. Yet he overcomes these doubts by leaning into what he does best, loving without restraint, working harder than anyone else, and holding fast to his principles.

Above all, Colter is defined by his heart. Whether standing in a rodeo arena, sitting by a campfire under the stars, or cradling one of his children in his arms, he is a man of devotion, anchored by Niko and the family they’ve built together. [/indent]
[color=#9F0C07][sub][b]History:[/b][/sub][/color]
[indent]Colter was born on the Four Sixes Ranch in Texas, one of the largest and most historic ranches in the state. His father, Tristin Burnett, was a man of few words but endless lessons, teaching Colter the rhythm of ranch life: waking before sunrise, tending to cattle, and treating every animal with respect. His mother instilled in him a gentler side, showing him the strength in kindness and the beauty of patience. From childhood, Colter was fearless, riding anything with four legs, climbing fences, and chasing adventure wherever he could find it.

Among the families that circled through the ranch was the Rumancek family, friends of Tristin, and it was there that Colter first met Niko. Even as a boy, Colter felt a pull toward Niko that he couldn’t put into words, a mix of admiration, curiosity, and a quiet longing. Over the years, that crush deepened into something unshakable, a thread that followed Colter into adolescence and adulthood. While he threw himself into rodeo competitions, chasing championships and traveling across the country, part of him was always tethered to Niko.

By the time Colter reached his late teens, his reputation in the rodeo world was growing, he was known for his daring rides and unshakable presence in the arena. But all the trophies and belt buckles meant little compared to the moment he and Niko finally admitted their love for one another after a scary Bull ride that left Colter in the hospital. The two finished their schooling paired at the hip, and then Colter made good on his promise and took Niko around the world on a trip of their lifetime. Their love bloomed ever more on the trip and at the very end Colter asked the boy, now man of his dreams to marry him. The wedding followed soon after, and with it a sense of wholeness Colter had never known before.

The couple’s journey into marriage life was both challenging and deeply rewarding. After long deliberations and with medical assistance, they were able to have two children, thanks to Colter and Niko's close friend Kas. The two children quickly became the heart of their world. Colter, who had once thought his life would be defined by bulls, broncs, and barrel racing, discovered that being a husband and father was the greatest role he’d ever take on.

Their move to New Rome marked a new chapter. For Colter, it was a leap of faith, leaving behind the open Texas plains for a city steeped in Roman tradition and filled with demigods and legacies. Yet he adapted, blending his cowboy roots with the culture of New Rome. He still rides and competes when the opportunity arises, but much of his time is now spent building a home with Niko, raising their children with the same values he was raised on, respect, love, and courage.

Colter’s history is not just about rodeos and ranching, it’s about love that endured from boyhood, about carving out a family against all odds, and about finding a place in a world far from where he began while still staying true to who he is.[/indent]

[color=#9F0C07][b][sub]Misc Information:[/sub][/b][/color]
[indent][list][*]Hat etiquette: Always tips his hat to greet or show respect, even in New Rome where it stands out. 
[*] Animal whisperer: Talks to horses, bulls, and even stray animals as if they fully understand him, and sometimes they seem to. 
[*] Night owl stargazer: Often sneaks out late at night to sit on the porch or a rooftop and watch the stars, saying it helps him “breathe again.” 
[*] Superstitious streak: Keeps a lucky silver concho in his pocket during competitions or stressful moments. 
[*] Calloused comfort: Sometimes rubs his thumb over the old scars on his hands when deep in thought.
[*] Plays with the charms on his necklaces when deep in though or nervous. 
[*] Coffee cowboy: Drinks his coffee black, no matter the hour. Refuses fancy “city” coffee drinks.
[*] Protective touch: Always keeps a hand on Niko’s shoulder, back, or arm in public, both as a casual show of affection and a subconscious way of keeping him close. 
[*] Family man first: No matter how successful he becomes in rodeo or respected in New Rome, Colter measures his worth by how well he cares for Niko and their kids. 
[*] Cowboy in New Rome: While he adapts to city life, he still keeps ranch traditions alive, teaching his children horsemanship, respecting animals, and living by the cowboy code. 
[*] Animal rights advocate: Still deeply involved in ensuring rodeo and equestrian events are ethical and safe for animals. 
[*] Food & cooking: Loves southern cooking, biscuits, fried chicken, brisket, and peach cobbler. He’s not a chef, but he makes a mean campfire chili. 
[*] Accent: His Texan drawl is strong, and though it makes him stand out in New Rome, he wears it with pride. 
[*] Keepsakes: Carries a worn leather wallet with a photo of him and Niko on their wedding day, plus a tiny doodle one of the kids made. 
[*] Smells of sun-warmed leather, faint smokiness from campfires, hay, saddle soap, fresh-cut grass, earthy musk of horses, cedarwood and tobacco (not smoke, but the cured sweetness), with hints of sandalwood from the simple soaps he favors.
