General Appearance:
Not being one for fancy get-ups, Cole usually wears a sleeveless or cut-off a pair of wranglers with a belt, cowboy boots and occasionally a hat while working on a farm or anywhere that doesn't require a uniform or have a dresscode. When not at work, he can be seen in casual street clothes: A hoodie, baggy pants or cargo shorts, and white sneakers or tennis shoes. Most of the time without a hat his shoulder length hair is tied back and out of his face.
He only slouches when leaning against a wall or other surface. Almost always standing straight up, he stands at 6'1" with an athletic build to his muscular stature.
Personality:
Completely honest from the start, Cole speaks his mind no matter the subject. He does not fear reprisal from anything he says. He knows that the choices he makes in life will bring him consequences that he must live with.
Cole tries to be friends with everyone. He is a problem solver if his friends need help. Combine that with undying loyalty and sensitivity, and Cole can be a viable ally or even mediator to two friends at each other's throats. His thoughts are always ahead of time, except for one moment. If he steps on stage with a guitar and a microphone. Cole tunes everything out except for the song he's playing and the crowd's reaction.
When his friends are either out and about, asleep, or he just wants to be alone, Cole's best friends are a cold Bud Light and an Xbox 360 controller. He can easily spend more up to if not more than ten hours on one game in a sitting. If not there, hhe enjoys a hard, heavy, intense workout, whether alone or with others.
Cole has never been a fan of illegal drugs such as marijuana, but he does, however, enjoy a great tasting Marlboro Red more than a few times a day. He does not enjoy peer pressure nor does he like to see others give into it.
Noticeable changes in Cole's attitude are almost apparent when he is around women. Though he is not trying to impress them, by all accounts he is not a virgin, but Cole firmly and strictly believes that women should be treated with the utmost respect. He becomes more polite and does not spit, smoke, drink, or act crude while around females.
Last but not least, Cole can become a dangerous enemy under circumstances. Especially if you are close enough to him when you piss him off. Not only can he brawl with the best of them, but he can play some the best mind games with you. Be careful if you decide to make an enemy of him after you've befriended him and told him your secrets. Anything you don't want known to the genral public, don't tell him if you plan on being his enemy.

History
Cole's childhood was certainly marked my tragedy. Born in late February of 1992, Cole Allan Kessler took his first breath's as his mother began to draw in her last few hundred. The day he was released from the hospital, his father driving the family home, they were in an accident. A speeding semi driver lost brakes and slammed into the passenger side of the car, killing his mother instantly. As the paramedics worked fast to get to her, they heard a crying baby. Realizing it was coming from the car they began to work even faster. His father sustained near fatal injuries and was taken to the hospital, as the E.M.P.s pried the passenger door open and were dumbstruck by what they saw. Cole lay unharmed in his mother's arms, her lifeless body crumpled over him to protect him from anything falling. Cole was marked as a baby that should have died, but by a miracle and sacrifice of a mother he lived through it.
Growing up in a small Oklahoma town was bad enough, but without a Mother, Cole had to do his part around the house. His father waited until Cole was old enough to hear it before telling the story of what happened, mere days after his birth. Cole took in the story and began seeing things differently. Sadly, the only school around was a private school and his father didn't make enough money to pay for the tuition. Cole's alternative was a farm education. At the age of six, not only could he plow a field alone, but he knew how to operate a tractor and cut hay fields. When he was seven, his father finally remarried. Cole had never had a mother before, so he welcomed the new woman just as his father did. Two years later, he was graced with a younger, half-brother.
It was then another change came through. His father was given a job at a nearby factory, and the pay was well enough to pay the tuition of the school and take care of the household. Cole took the school's necessary assessment tests and started that August in fourth grade. But with a step-mom and baby brother at home, he still continued to do his part around the house. It was nothing new to Cole, and he rather enjoyed it actually. That is until another two years had passed.
On his eleventh birthday, his dad's paycheck received a bonus. Using this bonus, his father bought him an X-Box, an Electric Guitar, and the highest caliber amp he could get. Cole's life took on another turn. His schoolwork began to get harder, but when he came home, he no longer had to help around the house. With the exception of the occasional "Will you vacuum the front room?", Cole's days became spent on the porch with his guitar or in his room when a hot new game came out.
For the next three years, Cole began focusing more on music, even starting a local band with some class mates when he turned 12. The group made quite a name for themselves, performing at venues in Oklahoma City and Little Rock. Even making history as the youngest band to headline both Edgefest and Rocklahoma. But tragedy killed the bands hopes as their drummer was killed in an "accidental" housefire. Not much is known on that subject, however.
Around October of 2009, Cole's life took a completely unexpected, unforeseen, and by all accounts unwanted new direction as his powers manifested eight months after his nineteenth birthday that another incident occurred. During the school day, he had stuck up for one kid being picked on and the bullies said he would regret it. He was walking home from school in the rain when the group of bullies circled him. Cole was scared now. Not only was he outnumbered, but each of them weighed at least twice what he did. He was grabbed from behind by the arms and the others began to punch his midsection and ribs. The rain soaking through his long brown and blonde hair masked the tears on his face. They began to push him back and forth between the three of them, then slap him in the back of the head. Cole was getting angry.
Under heavy strain a nearby powerline snapped. Electricity began to pour out of the end and flow towards Cole. His fear mounted as he could feel the energy coursing through his body. The three bullies ran off screaming like little pigs. Cole's body was coursing high voltage and he could feel it making him stronger. Suddenly a nearby transformer blew and the power current ceased. He had the extreme pleasure of explaining to both his parents what had happened, all this while still soaking wet from the rain outside.
After the incident, exact length of time unknown, he received a letter in the mail. There was a school seal on the back. One that he'd never seeen before, The Hammel Institute.Cole had heard of the school, but never seen the seal or received a letter from them before. At first he was going to brush it off as just another college recruitment letter. Something in his head, however, compelled him to open the letter. The paper stated hia recruitment as part of a new freshman class.
It was about a week after the letter had arrived. The weather had gotten a bit hairy. And since he couldn't go outside, Cole had been working on a new song's chords. He wasn't exactly sure if he'd wanted to go heavy rock or soft jazz. His reflection time was soon interrupted by a knock on the door. Cole walked over and opened it to find a recruiter from Hammel. After talking to his parents and saying their good-byes, Cole grabbed his bags, his guitar, and his lyric sheets and headed out the door. Finally, a new chapter in his life had begun.
How will Cole choose to use his power? How will he fit in at a new school? We'll find out soon enough. This is where the story begins. This is Cole Kessler

Kyron smirked at Recklas reaction. "That's right, Recklas, every damn bit of that is right. I'm alive, I'm on Anaxes, and I'm coming for you." Kyron paused, "And if you're thinking of running, don't bother. You can only run for so long before your past catches up, and yours has. I am the Collection Agency, and Charles Recklas, your ass is twelve months overdue. We can end this in one of two ways, mano y mano or an all out assault on your base. Either way, I will get my hands around your throat and I WILL crush the life out of you. You have one hour, Chuck, if I get no answer we come in and wipe the Cell from the face of the galaxy. Your choice." Kyron finished and shut off the comm system to kill the signal. He looked at Shy for a moment and then walked outside to have another smoke.
