You can say what you say When the lights go down So shake shake shake, And shut your mouth. sixteen. wind. bisexual. prefers girls. awkward. actor. Colby (goes by Cole usually) is the very epitome of an average kid, and he knows it. He knows he isn't special but he tries very hard to be better than his brother, Connor, who is arguably much more successful than he. Cole has been bullied a good majority of his life, but is extremely passive and just tries to shrug it off, even if inside it actually bothers him. He doesn't dress fancy, and in fact doesn't really ever dress up at all. He's got a thing for plaid and a minor obsession with Beyonce and NSYNC but who doesn't, right?
As for FRIENDS I could see him having a few. He is awkward but he is outgoing. After all, he is an actor. He probably would get along better with males because he gets awkward around females. Not shy, just awkward. And tends to say weird things when he gets nervous, and might bring up many awkward topics of conversation that females wouldn't care about. He is okay with being a loner and doesn't go out of his way to make friends, however, but everybody needs a few close friends right?
When it comes to ENEMIES I see this being a full section. He's a weirdo! Or rather, so normal that people might find it weird. He gets bullied! He needs bullies. Even water kids might pick on him, find him a common factor for pranks. He's such a doormat that he won't fight back.
LOVERS is where things might get weird for him, because he is a romantic at heart he just doesn't know how to go about it. He has trouble expressing his feelings outside of music, so he might just end up singing "Skullcrusher Mountain" to a girl that he finds himself attracted to. He is oblivious to flirting and isn't great at it himself, but he's kind of adorable so who wouldn't want him right? He isn't into one night stands and stuff at all, but one or two hook ups might be possible. I'd like for him to find someone he actually falls for eventually, though. He likes boys and girls, but prefers females, and would like for his final to be female. Unless he meets a boy he just can't resist. :3

nell nell is a earth junior in college, majoring in psych. she's really nice, but she's a chick, so it would be hilarious for him to be all ~awkward around the older earth girl. xD because she would be all "is something wrong D:" and get worried. they could meet anywhere, really, since nell is so friendly and loves talking to anyone she sees in her general vicinity.
altair this is altair and she hates all high schoolers. she'd probably make fun of him being a theatre kid. she has a habit of that. for some information she's a college freshman, a fire, and has a nasty temper and backs up her bark with a bite. she's a model too, and really full of herself. so yeah, these two will definitely be enemies. if he gives her anything to fight against, even a verbal rebuff, she will keep up being nasty. if he does nothing, she'll get bored pretty easily. yeager yeager is a water graduate in his freshman year. unfortunately, i see him being mean to poor lil colby. just because he seems like an innocent victim of pranks. yeager can be a meanie sometimes. :x but yeah, he's a big class clown and though he has a good heart underneath his jerkiness, he's still...well, a jerk. xD mona mona would definitely be a bully. she's a tenth grade thunder and she's just...mean. and she would mock him and be completely derisive. so if you want an enemy, she's here any time to deflate his self-esteem. =D israel issy is the wind leader. he's in the twelfth grade and he'd be the guy to go to if colby had any problems with his dorming or element or what have you. beyond that, since israel is so quiet and keeps just a few friends, it's debatable how well they'd get along since both of them are pretty awk, they will probably remain friendly acquaintances. or who knows, maybe they'd be good as friends. i prefer to see where it goes in-game, since i'm not good with predicting my characters. xD

LARK & COLBYHmm...I know that there's an age difference, but I really would like to get more things going for Lark so it'd be good to work something out if we can. They could already be semi-decent friends, or we could have them start off as strangers. I could see--if they grow closer in friendship--her being really protective of him if she finds out he's being bullied. I'm not sure how we can have them meet if we go that route, so if you have any ideas I'm all for it! Their affinity for music could definitely help things along, too. She works at one of the the music stores in the city, so there's a chance to run into one another there on occasion, if we wanted. I do love that he's so awkward around females because she just won't get it and will be like "?" but be nice to him none the less. Haha. -- BIOGRAPHY
DEVIN & COLBYDefs friends, bruh. Since his older brother is Devin's age there's a chance those two know one another, so we have a chance for him to meet Colby! He's just as passive as Cole is and avoids confrontation, and with some of the Fires and Thunders he was on their bullying radar so he knows what it's like to be on the receiving end of a punch. I figure maybe DJ and Connor are decent friends, and then he meets Colby and they wind up forming a stronger friendship because they are closer in personality? Or something. But I think these two would get along quite splendidly. -- BIOGRAPHY
ADAM & COLBYWell, I can definitely foresee a lovely bullying relationship here. Adam isn't one to throw himself into a fist fight unless he feels its necessary, and since Cole isn't the type to instigate anything I think a lot of the one-sided confrontations will be Adam making fun of the poor kid and just all out being an ass. He gets a lot of these threads as of late so we can hold off on this for a while (if you are interested), just so I don't get burnt out. XD But yeah, no matter what they're not going to get on well. -- BIOGRAPHY
GRAYSON & COLBYNothing here, since he's a biology professor at the college~ Maybe when Cole graduates we can work something out. -- BIOGRAPHY
CARSON & COLBYThese two might get along really well, actually! She's very bubbly and out there and doesn't know a stranger, making conversation with just about anyone. They're in the same grade, too, so there's an even higher chance that they know one another. I'm not quite sure what we can do right off the bat, but I still think they would make good friends simply because their personalities would mesh well. The girl loves a lot of people and loves being around them all the time. XD -- BIOGRAPHY

SKYE uh, skye is actually a college grad so when she was a student last year he would have just been in grade 10... so there's a fairly sizable age gap there. XD nowadays she works at the library but i don't know if we can do anything with that? she's a thunder but she... tries not to be a terrible person. >> maybe if someone was picking on him or something, she might step in with her ~authority~ and what-not. she'd probably think he's adorable in the kid way, actually, but she might also find it funny how... awkward he is. XD
SANDRA sandra is a college freshman and a water, but she's not likely to be one of the meaner ones who bullies him. she... kind of hates bullies, actually, so she might be more of the sticking up for him type. uh... she's really just friendly and bubbly and perpetually happy and loves everyone, so i can see them getting along. idk how they would meet but she's devin's girlfriend so if he and colby are good friends then that's always a possibility? up to you whether or not they're really necessarily friends, though.
PACEY omggggg i saw beyonce and nsync and i had to throw pacey in here because LOL they are pop music soulmates, i think. <3 (wait, real test here -- how does colby feel about carly rae jepsen? this is imperative information.) but seriously, i think they would get along just great. XD pacey's pretty nice, and he's an earth so he's also fairly passive when confronted with something. so there's not a real likelihood that they're not going to get along or something, i think they'd be pretty great friends.
CAITLYN i... am not sure if they would know each other, actually. she's an earth and a college junior and she's pretty much perpetually busy so i don't really know if they'd even have a chance to meet at all. buuuuuuut actually i just checked his application and am glad i did because i see he's musically inclined? i'm guessing he sings if he was in musicals and what-not and is aspiring toward broadway, but would he ever like... take piano lessons? oh or even if he just wanted to like, brush up on actual musical theory! because caitlyn teaches both of those, so maybe he could be one of her students? :3
LUCAS um... it's actually kind of hard for me to tell, with lucas. he's a wind also but he's just in grade 9 so there's a bit of an age gap there. oh, um... cole enjoys broadway and what-not, i'm assuming for the music, but would he audition for a school play or something? because lucas enjoys drama and he might go for that. >> if... there even is a school play. something like that! but anyway yeah, if they meet through that or any other way, it's kind of hard. lucas can kind of be an insensitive jerk, mostly because he likes to laugh and joke around more than he likes caring about other people's feelings. XD so he might say something as a joke that just... doesn't sit right with cole, or seems like he's trying to be a bully? he generally isn't purposely doing that, but he's just not a very tactful guy. however, i don't think he'd actually have a huge problem with colby, so it's really up to what cole thinks of him. :3

Hiro is my 11th/12th grade history fire elemental teacher. It's possible that Colby could be in his class this year. Despite being a fire he isn't all hardcore anymore when it comes to the alliances. He's loyal to the fire but he's not going to play favorites based on elements. His best friend is a water. You have to earn your grade in his class. So not sure exactly what could be done but if you ever need a teacher for advice or something Hiro could be your guy.So I have Kai. He's my 12th grade wind. He's my musician and can be normally found practicing the violin or piano if he's not doing his homework or hanging out with his best friend Emmett. There's an age difference but that wouldn't bother Kai. He lives in the dorms so he's on campus basically all the time. They could have met in the dorms if Colby lives there as well. I think friends would do right?Bastian: My 11th grade ray of sunshine. He's also my artist and loves to draw anything and everything. They're actually in the same grade so again they can already know each other and be friends or we can have a first meeting thread. I think these 2 could mesh pretty well. Maybe they could be roommates if Colby lives in the dorms?Then there's Takeru. He's my college earth junior. He's majoring in dance at the academy and lives down in the Hollow with his older brother. He works at the Music store and at the Rec center. He's my adorkable character. He's oblivious too many things but he's one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. They're 4 years apart so that makes things a bit difficult but I'm sure we can probably think of something if you'd like to thread these 2, especially if Colby meets/knows T.K.'s girlfriend Charlotte who's a wind and theatre major. They'd probably spazz together XD My last one here is Jacob. He's my 12th grade water. He's the water leader and not the most typical water. He is the social type but because of his mother's during his first year at the academy he's become a bit on the quieter side. It could be possible they already know each other as well so friends again.
I'm not the best at coming up with plots at times so if something hits you let me know.

NELL & COLBY; I could see him being awkward around her, yeah. And maybe being friendly. But not a whole lot outside of that.
ALTAIR, YEAGER, MONA & COLBY: Bullies. Certainly - Poor Colby. Haha. We can thread any of them if you'd like to.
ISRAEL & COLBY: Yeah, maybe friends. We'd have to see how this worked out. Colby also doesn't keep a whole lot of close friends but we can see what happens!
LARK & COLBY: Oooh I like this! It would be cool to have her be all protective over him eventually. I think it would be fun to thread out them meeting in some ~awkward way. Because he's an awkward kid. Totally down for threaddage if you are?!
DEVIN & COLBY: This is perf. Devin could have been friends with his brother then became better friends with Colbs, yeah. Works out well! I could totes see a best friend type sitchuation here.
ADAM & COLBY: Bullied by a younger student. Doom.
CARSON & COLBY: I could see friends here! He might not be as ~awkward around her since she's bubbly and outgoing too. But he doesn't trust many water students right off the bat since they tend to make him a target, too. We can see what happens!
SKYE & COLBY: Yeah, she could maybe step in when he's getting picked on. She's BEAUTIFUL so I could see him being super awks around her. Even though she's like, a lot older. That might be fun though?
SANDRA & COLBY: Somebody who doesn't want to bully him is always awesome! Friends are always welcome. Yeah - maybe they can meet through Devin! That would work! Or maybe she knows his brother too, or something. Since his brothers totes popular.
PACEY & COLBY: OH MY GOSH! THEY ARE SOUL TWINS! And Carley Rae Jepsen? He would end up singing Call Me Maybe to a girl that he liked, probably. Or guy, since he does go both ways. He's a pop music fiend. These two have to be friends like, it's not even debatable. Besties 4 lyf.
CAITLIN & COLBY: Oooh yes he LOVES musicals! That's like his life! And Piano lessons are a possibility, yes. He could certainly be one of his students!
LUCAS & COLBY: Colby is actually aspiring to be an actor and a singer. He does drama and would be first in line to be in a school play! The accidental offending might work, although Colby would just smile and shrug it off and act like it didn't bother him, because that is just the kind of guy he is!
HIRO & COLBY: That could work! He could be a student. He doesn't try hard in non performance art classes. And would probably sleep or just draw on the tables. Because he doesn't try very hard in school.
KAI & COLBY: There isn't that much of an age difference! Only a year! And I could see friends, yeah. They are both musical so that could work out!
BASTIAN & COLBY: I like this! I could see them being good friends! And I'm down for them being dorm mates. So they could have met their ninth grade years? They'd probably be pretty good friends. They are both artsy and what not!
TAKERU & COLBY: Colby always spazz's about Theatre, so I'm sure we could figure something out eventually!
JACOB & COLBY: They could know each other and possibly be friends, yeah! Why not. He needs friends.
Thank you to everybody who plotted with me. That's a lot of people 0-0. I'm down for anything!

SKYE ahahaha i'd be down for that! awww he's so sweet, though. XD she would probably notice his awkwardness... which would be really hilarious and adorable actually because that'd just make her think he was the cutest thing. ._. this needs to happen~ poor colby, though, being picked on. :c <3
SANDRA lol she might know his brother, yeah! or i mean... it could be both, really. XD sandra's a ~social butterfly~ so she does tend to know lots of people. but yeah, she'd think he's the cutest and just want to... pat him on the head all the time and stuff. which is hilarious because he's actually quite a bit taller than her, i think. but she can try. XD
PACEY LOL YES FANBOYS FOR LIFE. pacey would totally drag him to a beyonce concert or something and they'd just go crazy in love, got me feeling so crazy in love. because lololol this is the best. definitely best friends, yo. ;A;
CAITLYN yayyyy music lessons! yeah she'd think he was cute, too (wow my characters think everything and everyone is cute) and just... yeah, music buddies. because cait does love music, it's one of her passions. :3
LUCAS aww, that's nice of him. they might be able to get along, then, because lucas could definitely use people who are able to laugh that stuff off. even if he accidentally offends them. if he noticed he might feel just a little bad if they're a friend. :c but yessssssssss drama friends! they can have a lot of fun with this, lol.

Post by JUSTIN DANIEL DUVAL on Feb 13, 2013 19:16:46 GMT -5
JUSTIN.&.COLBY
Oh man, this boy is way too adorable for words to express <3333 If I could handle more than Justin, I think I'd jump on the chance of making him a girly. He needs to find someone. Anyway.
Though I find him adorable, not sure Justin would. According to the descriptions- it sounds like Jusitn is basically Colby's older brother. And Justin's little brother is very much like Colby, so I think he would find the kid kind of annoying. The reason they would even speak is Justin is a 100% hardcore theater kid. Said he's an actor and kind of assumed that. Therefore, Justin would be a little bit more tollerable, but I picutre Justin looking at him and wondering why the hell he couldn't just stand up and be normal. It's not the weirdness that sets him off- it's just his entire awkward form. Most of the time, Justin would just be amused, but wonder if this was an act or if he really had this many issues. So in the end- tollerants?

SKYE & COLBY I agree! This HAS to happen. Haha. It will be awkward and weird and kind of adorable at the same time because yush.
SANDRA & COLBY: Hahaha oh thats cute! She might recognize him from a school play/performance if she watches them... because he will do whatever he can to be on stage? That might be possible for any of them to recognize him that way. Awkwardly singing Hit Me Baby One More Time at a talent show of some sort.
PACEY & COLBY: YESSS. haha. Colby is in LOVE with Beyonce and swears that one day he will marry her. It's only a minor obsession. There is no avoiding this now. Best friends 4 eva.
CAITLIN & COLBY: Yes! Music lessons! Perf! It would appear I am probably going to thread with ALL OF your characters! haha.
LUCAS & COLBY: Drama buddiiiies! This will be awesome. They can rehearse lines together. Yuhhh!
DANIEL & COLBY: Aww he is pretty adorable isn't he? And if you end up making a girly for him - by all means be my guest ;] haha. But yeah, tollerants sounds good. I do think Daniel would remind him a LOT of his brother so it might bring out his competitive "i have to be better than thou" side.

omg yes sandra thinks he's adorable. XD she'd love his rendition of 'baby one more time', ahaha. and LOL omg i also saw in a thread that he named his guitar beyonce and that is the best thing because pacey named his car carly (guess who she was named after, hahahah). but omg yes to all of the above, this all needs to happen in a thread. uhhhh, idk who to start with, or anything. XD;;;;; it's up to you really, you can choose any of my characters right now and i figure we can do the others at another point. <3
you can pick more than one, too. i'm not even picky. XD teehee.

Well in an effort not to overwhelm myself, why don't we start with a Pacey or Sandra thread?? Since those would probably be the most entertaining?? Maybe Pacey and Colby could take Beyonce and Carly out or something. Lul. Does that sound okay??

Post by colbygraves on Feb 13, 2013 21:12:03 GMT -5
Uhmm I can either start it tonight when I get home or you can. And I dunno uhm, maybe pacey can drag him to the mall for new shoes or something? Since he tends to wear the same shoes every single day. And plaid. He loves plaid. They could just goof around the mall or something? haha.

Hello hello! This here is Fox, he's obnoxious and crazy and hilarious. I see some similarities between these two, but only enough that Fox would like Colby, not find him annoying/a threat. (Which Fox can be.) pretty much the only things he excels at are pranks and self-esteem. I can see them being decent friends; he could back Cole up in the case that any waters Fox knew were to pick on Cole. Alternatively, Fox could be one of those waters that picks on him. It wouldn't be anything major, just small pranks here and there. Fox is only really ever malicious to Fire and Thunder.
