Clothing
Collin was diagnosed with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism#:~:text=Astigmatism%20is%20a%20type%20of,blurred%20vision%20at%20any%20distance. astigmatism] at a young age, and has been wearing glasses ever since. He usually wears a silver cross necklace, although it is almost always hidden underneath his shirt. His white t-shirt sports a butterfly imprint, along with the word, "REBEL" spelled above it. Pink is splattered along the center of his shirt, placed behind the butterfly. He wears fishnets on his arms, with both of his thumbs exposed. He typically wears ripped jeans, the left knee having a gray cross imprint on it. The left knee of the jeans' rips also have pink around them, similar to that on Collin's shirt. The right pant leg also sports a gray cross, but it is both higher up on the thigh and less visible. Collin also typically wears a white chain, coming from tucked under the front of his pants and ending being tucked under the back. He wears white sneakers, and enjoys wearing a black cat-ears headband.

Physical
Collin has dark brown hair, typically unbrushed. He has indigo-colored eyes, and fairly tan skin. Collin has a birthmark on the left side of his neck, which he is insecure about. He tends to attempt to either cover it with his necklace, shirt, or other neck accessory. Collin is 5'9 (179 cm), which is speculated to come from his father's side of the family. He has a natural, visible blush, causing his girlfriend to not know when Collin is blushing because of her or not.

Personality
Collin tends to be fairly optimistic--staying on the bright side of things, and trying to cheer others up. He always wants people he meets to feel welcomed by his presence. Though, Collin is not always like this. Sometimes, when he's not feeling as energetic, he becomes lazy. Instead of being friendly and caring, he can act more laid-back and straight-forward. While in this state, Collin can sometimes come off as a bit harsh.

Lore
Collin grew up in a small town in Missouri named Russell. His home was relatively small, consisting of 2 floors and approximately 10 rooms (5 on each floor). He lived with his brother, James, along with his mother and father. Collin and James had a very close relationship, although having a 5-year age difference. Even though Collin was very young, James always found a way to share many jokes and happy memories with his brother.

However, in the early months of 2006, James began to change -- he would shut himself in his room, and became very quiet. Collin, concerned, would vent out his feelings in his new diary. He was still learning to properly write, so it was good for practice.

But, slowly, James began to return to his usual self. He apologized for his immature hostility he showed earlier that year. Collin was relieved to have his brother back, and was ready to continue experiencing the happiest of memories with him.

But, that never got to happen. On November 6, 2006, Collin awoke in the middle of the night. 1 A.M., to be precise. He soon realized how hungry he was, so he decided it would be best to sneak to the kitchen for a snack. However, he was afraid of the dark -- so it was quite terrifying.

Since he was afraid to go alone, he was planning to awake James to lead Collin to where he needed to go. But, just before Collin got to open James' door, there was the sound of a plate shattering in the distance. Collin could tell it was from the kitchen. Then, he decided it would be best for him to finally gain some courage, and show his family that he wouldn't be scared anymore. After all, his mother or father just accidentally dropped a plate. It couldn't be that serious.

Collin stepped towards the kitchen, making sure not to make a sound. As he reached the kitchen, he saw nobody. It was eerily quiet in the room, with the shattered plate laying near the kitchen counter. There was an open window across from Collin, and he immediately began to feel extremely paranoid. Why was there an open window here? Did somebody get into the house?

Just then, Collin felt the need to get help from his parents. They could handle the problem than he could, after all! He ran towards his parents' room, scared something would be right behind him. He quickly opened the bedroom door and closed it behind him. Once he had locked the door, he turned towards where his parents should have been. But they weren't there.

Collin could feel his heart drop. Where were they? Had the intruder taken them!? He quickly rushed out of the room and towards James' room once again. But as he entered James' bedroom, he realized that James was missing as well. Collin began to cry, realizing that the intruder might have taken his entire family away from him.

Collin decided that he needed to investigate, even though he was such a tiny, weak child. If his family was going to die, then he was willing to die too. He went through every room in his home, not finding a single clue. However, that was until he reached the living room. The door was locked, and luckily, Collin could remember where the key was. He quickly rushed to his parents room to grab the key, and then unlocked the door. Inside the living room was nothing he could have ever expected to find.

His mother, father, and brother's dead bodies were all in the living room. Collin was frozen in shock for countless seconds, before he stepped towards James' body and fell to his knees in front of it. James had been stabbed in the middle of his chest, bleeding out all over both his clothes and the floor. His mother seemed like she had been choked to death, and his father's head looked smashed, as if the culprit had hit him with some kind of weapon multiple times.

Just then, Collin heard faint police sirens outside. He cautiously arose and walked towards the window, where he saw 3 police cars ready to investigate the scene. Collin stayed in the living room until the police found their way into the house, and found him. Collin was taken to the police station, and stayed there until the investigation was completed. Thankfully, the culprit was caught and arrested, and Collin was taken to an orphanage.
