Name: Colin McGuffian, goes by either "Cole" or "McGuff", depending on where he meets you.
Age: 25
Date of Birth: 7/13
Birthplace: New York, New York
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual, with a preference for the fairer sex (that'd be women).
Face Claim: Howl Pendragon, Howl's Moving Castle
Appearance:
Height: 6' 2"
Distinguishing Features: Colin is of a muscular, yet slim build. Also, when exploring, he wears a mask that looks similar to this: link
Class: Persona-user
Arcana: Moon
Occupation: High School English Teacher, Drama Club Faculty Advisor, Part-Time Tutor
Starting Equipment: L2 Aged Katana (500)
Personality: Colin, outside of the effects of recent events, is a nice man with a warm disposition. He is kind to his students or anyone who strikes up a conversation. He is very sociable, so long as he isn't upset. He has a longer fuse than most, so he doesn't get upset often. The sole exception is when he decides to visit a casino. Otherwise, he is a generally nice man. He goes out of his way to do the right thing. However, it's all a ruse to cover for his true personality. The one he shows at night.
When the dark hour takes hold or while in the Dark World, Colin is very different. He is condescending, rude, and hateful. He understands tactics, but acts as if nobody else would. He barks orders (if he remembers that there is someone to give orders to), he berates his allies and enemies alike, and will attack his own allies if "bored enough". He hides behind his mask, though, so that nobody would be able to trace his actions back to him. He doesn't do this for any particular reason. It's simply something that he does for fun, and it provides him with daytime entertainment as well. He loves plotting out future interactions with people, all the while knowing that his luck could suddenly change for the worse. It's a fun little game to him, and nothing else.
Likes: Teaching, Entertainment, Swimming, History
Dislikes: Children who refuse to listen, Boredom, A Losing Streak, Rural Areas.
History: Colin was born and raised in New York City. His life was, to be honest, perfectly bland. The only thing that kept it from being a completely boring life was the fact that Colin had an above average I.Q. On top of that, he was an exceptional swimmer. These things, of course, weren't enough to save Colin from his boredom. He began to crave entertainment in any "healthy" form. After all, he was an athlete. He began to bully other students and even get physical with them. However, he made sure that nobody would speak of what he did, so as to protect his reputation.
After getting a teaching degree from college, Colin moved to Japan for "an entertaining change of scenery." He was hired to be an English teacher and everything went smoothly. Colin was able to provide himself with entertainment via gambling instead of violence for a while, and he always knew to quit while he was ahead. Everything seemed to be going well.
One day, though, Colin was busy going over props for the Drama club one late night when, suddenly, everything changed. The atmosphere became extremely heavy and all of the lights stopped working. Colin, without any thought, put on a mask that he was holding before walking out to investigate. He also took one of the prop swords.
He encountered a monster that was, in short, void of description. Colin remained calm, though, even mentally remarking how it wasn't quite Lovecraftian like how he expected a monster to be. He even started to smile as it turned towards him. Without a thought, he charged the creature with his fake sword and doing absolutely nothing to it. That was when he became scared. Instead of running, though, he became even more aggressive. He refused to allow the monster to horrify him. He attacked and attacked until he felt physically exhausted. All the while, the creature weathered the attacks as if they were nothing. Colin, for the first time in his life, considered actually running away from the problem.
Suddenly, the man heard a voice in his head. "You won't run," it said seriously. "You would never run. You never have, after all." Suddenly, Colin felt a calming sense of righteous anger flow throughout him. "I am thou. Thou art I." Colin nodded his head in agreement as a giant, eight-headed snake appeared. The snake spoke aloud a single word as it tore through the creature before it.
"Persona."
The next day, Colin acted as if nothing ever happened. The only thing he did differently was borrow a buddy's historical katana. He needed to be prepared for more combat, after all.
He had found a new source of entertainment.
OOC Name: Ragnarok, Tristan, or a derivative of the names.
Notes: Colin teaches high school English for second years. He is also a tutor-for-hire for both English and History classes. He also frequents casinos from time to time.
While he is doing anything involving the Dark Hour/World, he wears a mask to hide his identity.
