~ Colette "Cole" Vicdor ~
Human Male / 19 years (born Winter 23)
Born: Sunberth
Awakened: Outskirts of Syliras
Currently Located: Syliras - Stormhold Castle, Tier 3
Physical Description
His name is unhelped by his highly androgynous physical appearance. Over the back of his head is a fan of flowing, hazel hair that reaches down to his shoulderblades. Colette's slender, muscle-toned body will never grow taller than five feet and four inches. He wears what scarcely resembles leather armor, although it looks more like three crude and uncomfortable-looking but tough leather vests worn over each other, and his leggings are a patchwork of different hides - whoever crafted it resorted to patching due to difficulties with the material being used. His pale, hawk-like face has clearly-cut features, scarcely-visible high cheekbones, and a sharp, shallow chin. Colette's eyes are a deep-blue and seem to be set deep, almost outlining his eye sockets. Semi-full, almost red lips add to the confusion.

Truths of the Present
-> He, aching and covered with stinging bruises and dried blood - most of which isn't his own - awakens to the sight of a utilitarian sabre in it's sheath and a blood-drowned woman's corpse whose clothes, like her flesh, are tattered and ripped almost to the point that her physique was anyone's guess. The only two things he remembers at this point is the name of the slain woman, Colette Vicdor, and their original destination, Syliras, but not why he sought that place out or why he was with this woman when she died - that is, if he was with this woman when she died. He remembers also that he had a name, but unaware of what it was, he dons the name of the dead woman and he drags his broken body to Syliras. Two days later, he's cleaned up and ready to go, but he's seemingly useless as far as he's concerned. How, he asks himself, will he secure a position in town (or the world) for himself? And - he asks himself this question all the time: "What now?"
Truths of the Past
-> A boy named Jared was raised in Sunberth by a single mother. She soon adopted Jared's younger not-really-sister, Colette, and she was then given her new mother's surname.
-> ??? (( Whatever this was described a strong mother who had little time to raise her children, a child who always wanted to figure things out about whatever interested him, and another child who was very supportive of the other ))
-> A young Jared encounters a leatherworker who sought out a future apprentice of his craft; Jared becomes the apprentice of this leatherworker.
-> ??? (( Whatever this was put an end to the apprenticeship ))
-> ??? (( Whatever this happened to be was a depressing point in time for Jared ))
-> ??? (( Whatever this was re-united Colette with Jared ))
-> ??? (( Whatever this was gave him experience with a sabre ))
-> ??? (( Whatever this was forced Colette and Jared to flee Sunbirth and explained how he did so ))
-> ??? (( Whatever this was ended in Colette's death and Jared's almost-death that greatly impaired his memories ))
~ Character Concept
Disheveled Androgynous Amnesiac
Personality:
Only some parts of his previous personality have seeped into Colette. He was a quick learner who was eager to do what he knew as well as he knew how to do. He is loyal to anyone he calls a friend, and, due to his muddled memories, he seeks some way to establish a new existence. When he finds a place for himself, he becomes highly dedicated to it. To say he is honorable is a mistake, however, since his former ethics are no longer connected to him. A person who cares little for anything more than the basic consequences of his actions. Moderate respect for life won't hold him back.
Ethics:
Colette doesn't in any way care for what he once was, for he believes that the important thing is what he will do. He sees his new life as an amnesiac as a positive thing, a way to become a new person (or the same person) without any ties to family or whatever friends he most likely didn't have. He doesn't follow what is called "honor" by most - be polite to people he will, but being fair, fighting like a "man", accept duels, tolerate what he perceives as stupidity, help a person in need if he has to make too great a sacrifice, or let peer pressure get the better of him - such things he will not do, generally. A code of conduct established by someone else doesn't become him (if he can help it).
Likes:
-> Berries
-> Cheese
-> Swords (especially one-handed swords)
-> Meeting nice or at least interesting people
-> Subtlety
-> Fulfilling his role flawlessly
Dislikes:
-> Having cause to hurt people (not to say he wouldn't)
-> Screwing up
-> Following rules if he doesn't want to follow them (sometimes)
-> Not doing anything
