Before the world was taken over by the infected, Cole served the military for five years, before returning to his hometown of Lawrence, Kansas to work as a mechanic. After losing both his father and step-mother to the virus, his main goal has been to protect his half-sister while killing as many of the infected as he possibly can. (See his app for more info)
These days, Cole doesn't warm up to others easily, but once he does, he'll be one of the most loyal friends you'll ever have. While his sister's well being is his main priority, he holds compassion for others. So certain friendships are bound to be forced on him sooner or later, which I can see him reluctantly accepting.
With his stubborn nature, he's bound to have a few people he butts heads with in the town. He's blunt and can be harsh with his words at times, but that's just because he's a straight to the point kind of guy these days and very much a realist.
He's had a few girlfriends, flings and one night stands in the past, but he hasn't been known to stay with one girl beyond a year. Cole is most definitely afraid of commitment, especially now that he has lost so much. He avoids opening up and appearing vulnerable to others, afraid of getting too close and losing that person as well. However, I do eventually see him caving and opening up to a special lady in the town. I have no plots set in stone as yet, but a potential love interest would have to be able to keep up with him as well as challenge him.
So with that, plot away! :)
relationships Kaiden Inshabel met during their military service, mutual respect, future friendship, rivalry, alliance
Madaline Lewis her team brought cole and his sister in on his first day, trusts her, friends (though he won't admit it), protective over her, potential future romance/fling/mistake(?)

She has a past full of abuse, with her father hitting her and mentally abusing her when she was younger, but that's not all. When she was seventeen, she went through a traumatic ordeal after being kidnapped, raped and prepared for the human trafficking industry. Fortunately, she managed to escape, but even after counselling and trying to move on with her life, Amelia hasn't been the same.
When the virus hit, she wasn't with her family. She managed to escape New York City with her friends, but choosing not to follow them to the west coast, but return to her hometown in Maine with her boyfriend at the time, in hope that she would find her family alive. Before reaching her hometown, she lost her boyfriend to a horde of the infected, forcing her to survive on her own after her family were no where to be found. She survived on her own for several weeks, before coming across another group of survivors. She has been with them ever since. (See her app for more info)
Amelia has a lot of trust issues, so making new friends hasn't been easy (or her top priority). On purpose she tries to emotionally detach herself from others, in fear of only losing someone she has gotten close to. However, due to her compassionate side, keeping her distance proves to be difficult for her. So she can be befriended, it just takes a little more time and patience.
Not everyone will get her, which means that not everyone will like her. She's bound to have a few enemies that aren't of the infected kind. If you think your character would hate her, there could be some possibilities for an interesting plot.
She lost her boyfriend to the infection at the early stages of its affect, so finding romance is most definitely not her first priority. If she were to experience any kind of romance again, it would have to sneak up on her and be something that she may not want at first, until it consumes her and she has no choice but to follow her heart.
With that, let's plot!

Post by KAIDEN GARRETT INSHABEL on Nov 13, 2012 0:20:26 GMT -5
Kaiden Inshabel & Cole Profile HereAlright! Ideas, ideas. So, like I mentioned in the chatbox, the fact that both of these guys are ex-Army provides us with a well of possibilities for plots for these guys, both pre-outbreak and post-outbreak. Let's see if I can't brainstorm a few ideas, shall we? Alright, so first off... If I'm lining up my dates right, Cole would have joined the military in 1999. Their service dates almost line up, roughly around 2002. Kaiden was shipped to the Middle East shortly after completing his college degree and earning his rank. While he didn't serve on the front line until after his mandatory service was over, its possible Kaiden and Cole could have met some time through the hospital Kai worked in. Of course, this is just if we assume they know each other at all. Anyways, perhaps they recognize each other from overseas when they meet in the community. Friendship commences. Or something. xD Anyways, there's one idea. Another one I've got is they have absolutely had no contact with each other ever, until they meet in Henley Falls. In this case, when they realize they both served overseas, they could end up becoming friends, through conversations of their various experiences. Just another idea on how they could potentially become friends, and therefore plot ideas for the future. Oh, and of course, there could be a rivalry instead or in addition to a friendship. After all, I'm assuming Cole was just standard Army, whereas Kaiden got fast-tracked through several programs. Some sort of "I worked for a living" sort of thing between them. Just an idea. xD Aside from sort of historic, establishing plot ideas... Lets see here. Potential, future threads. The fact that they are in two different positions makes threads outside of the community a bit difficult, since Kaidenwould mostly be inside the gates doing his policing duties, while Cole's out there protecting the scavengers. 'Course, I've fooled around with the idea of having Kai volunteer for perimeter patrolling, so he could still get out there and do some threads in the thick of things... but right now, I'm not quite sure what we'd do. If you have any ideas though, for threads, or anything else, I'd love to hear 'em. Anyways, that's all for Kaiden... now for:
[/center] Madaline Lewis & Cole Profile HereMaddie and Cole! Now, this is a bit more difficult than coming up with something to do between Kai and Cole up there. Not only do they not share the careers that the two guys do, but there's 11 years between them in age. Maddie's only twenty, you see. xD That said, there's still a lot to go off of, especially since Cole is a hunter. Establishing pre-thread relationships, acquaintance to friendship would obviously be ideal. How they met however.... that depends on when Cole arrived in the community, I suppose. Maddie was a member of the scav/hunter teams between June and early July. Its quite possible that, if Cole arrived some time in early July, then Maddie's group could have been the team that found them and brought them in. A friendship between the two could easily have had its framework laid then. Otherwise, if arrived any later than July, its possible he could have met Maddie's voice before he actually met her. Around Mid-July, Maddie left the scav/hunter teams to run Henley Fall's radio equipment. She broadcasts music and keeps the community up to date with what's been going on in the area over the radio. She also monitors frequencies for other survivors. Perhaps while accompanying the scav/hunter teams to go find radio stuff, Cole's on the team? They then start a friendship from there. Just ideas. As for actual thread ideas... I've got two right now. First off is the same basic idea I actually brought to Mercy on her plot page. Maddie goes with a scav team to go look for a replacement for some of her equipment, and maybe they run into trouble out in the city in the form of zombies/psycho survivors/unavoidable accidents. Or things go smoothly. Either or. Nothing really detailed in mind for that so far, but there it is. The second idea is, if I don't have Maddie's cousin get adopted, I'm going to go ahead and play him myself. If I do so, I was eventually going to have Maddie get in contact with him through the radio, and then go out with a team to retrieve him. All sorts of cool problems could arise during her outing, and so perhaps Cole could be one of the hunters in the party. Course, that wouldn't happen for a bit, but its still a possibility for later. Anyways, those are the ideas I was able to come up from scratch while sitting here. XD Let me know what you think, and shoot me back some ideas of your own, yeah?

COLE & KAIDEN Yay for our abundance of plot possibilities! I think the two meeting at the hospital in the Middle East could be an interesting idea. Perhaps Cole was wounded and after Kaiden realized that Cole was in the army, small talk could have gone on between the two of them? Then they went their separate ways.
Perhaps in Henley Falls, it took them a few days to realize why they both looked so familiar to each other and then one day it just clicks and the past catches up with them? Having that connection to Kaiden in the past would cause Cole to trust him more easily, especially because of their military background. I can definitely see a mutual respect and a casual friendship between the two with a bit of rivalry added into the mix ;) Eventually, I can see their bond becoming stronger as the weeks move on.
Hmm as for future threads, perhaps Cole could catch some rebellious teenagers (who have exited the perimeter of the haven as a dare) and bring them in to Kaiden. I can see Cole being a bit irritable over the situation, given that he's there to kill the infected, not babysit a bunch of teens.
Or there's a chance in the future that if Cole wanted to go on his own mission, but all other hunters are occupied, he'd seek out Kaiden for back up. ORRR they could run into each other when they're both on a break from their duties? I don't know, just throwing some ideas out there! xD
COLE & MADALINE Oooh I really like the idea of her team bringing in Cole and his sister, so I'm willing to say that they arrived late June/early July in order to fit that idea haha xD A friendship could have most definitely begun to form back then...though Cole would avoid calling their relationship that at first, as he's very guarded and believes that establishing close bonds with people will only end in disaster. However, if Maddie kept on insisting that they interacted when they saw each other, I can see him gradually warming up to her. By now they're probably at the stage where he's accepted the fact that he's actually fond of her and can trust her.
I really like both those thread ideas n__n
Also, I can see Cole standing up for her whenever others try and put her down for the radio thing. He'd respect her for being the radio broadcaster as he'd believe that she is supplying hope for the community (her job is also handy for contacting those outside Henley Falls).
Haha as for a potential romance I can only see Cole going there if they Maddie proves that she has maturity beyond her years and if the two go on their own little emotional journey together. She'd have to be able to keep up with him as he would be a little resistant with starting anything romantic if it just meant he'd have another responsibility of looking after another person. At first I see him treating her similar to how he treats his sister (though he wouldn't be as intense), perhaps if anything romantic were to ensue, she could be the one to get feelings for him first, which would result in her becoming determined to break out of that 'little sister' role? I'm not sure if Cole could get pass that and he wouldn't be one to ignore the age difference completely, but I think it's just a matter of playing them out and seeing where they end up. Also, I can see them spending the night together if Cole is overwhelmed by stress and his emotions and if his walls are down. Maybe alcohol could be involved?
There. That's my take on these relationships. Feel free to add/subtract or change anything :)

Kaiden Inshabel & Cole Profile HereWell, I'm down with that idea. Kaiden wracking his brain, trying to figure out why the heck Cole looks so darn familiar amuses me. One thing about Kaiden is that although he's open to friendships with those around the community, and enjoys meeting new people as they arrive, he's focused on protecting those people who made the journey to Henley Falls with him, as they've been through a lot together. However, because Cole is a former soldier, there would definitely be a lot of respect from Kai, and as the weeks passed on, he'd definitely begin to fall under Kaiden's definition of 'brother-in-arms.' As far a bit of rivalry between them as well, I think it would make things interesting. With Cole having been a front line soldier, while Kai was a spook, chances are Kai at least would still want to out do him. Old habits die hard, after all. For future thread ideas, I'm actually liking both of those. The one with the teenagers especially appeals to me for some reason. I think it would be interesting, especially if their opinions on what to do with the kids were completely different or clashing. As for Cole going to Kai for back up on a little raid of his own that the other hunters couldn't help with, he'd be on board with that, especially since I've decided he's going to be relatively bored without much going on inside the fences. xD Other than that... yeah, I'm liking what we've come up with so far. We'll have to do one of those thread ideas eventually for sure.
[/center] Madaline Lewis & Cole Profile HereWell awesome. ^^ It having taken awhile for him to call it a 'friendship' sounds good. Maddie is definitely one to sit there and keep trying, even if the person she's claimed as a friend doesn't seem very receptive. She's a firm believer in the whole 'friends are the only things we have left' school of thought since the outbreak, so unless the person she wants to be friends with is a total douche, she'd keep trying. xD Also, glad to hear it about you liking the thread ideas. ;D I haven't completely figured out what I'm gonna do with either of the ideas, to flesh them out, but I've been toying around with the idea of setting a thread smack dab in the center of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which would make for some interesting bits. Scavenging in the middle of a big city? What could possibly go wrong? As for romance between them, like I said in my not-so-subtle end text up there ^, its just an idea if you don't find anyone else up for a plot like that and you find yourself really wanting to go that route. If you do, then Maddie would most likely be able to keep up. For the most part. She's a lot more mature than her age might suggest. She never was one to get in trouble during her school years, having always focused on her hobbies, and would much rather actually work towards something than waste away time doing something without meaning. If she ended up falling for him (which she would certainly do first, no need to worry about that), she'd be annoyed if he treated her more like a sister than anything else, she would try to break out of that role. Oh how she'd try. Actually, that could potentially prove to be an enjoyable idea in its own right. She ends up falling for him, but she can't break out of that role no matter how hard she tries. Could end up with her getting more and more stressed out over the fact that she's getting nowhere with him. Especially if she realizes he can't get over that age difference. If we were to go that route, a little bit of resentment might set in, and start to chip away at their friendship. Which means fun times all around, for everyone. As for them spending the night together in a moment of weakness on his part, I could see that happening for sure. Alcohol or not. But yeah. That's all I've got to add. xD

Woo! I love it all! I don't really have much else to add. I'm happy to just role play with these ideas in mind and see where things go from there. I'm thinking it might be a good idea to start threading with Cole and Maddie first, as The Kaiden/Cole thread(s) seem like they should be reserved for later on. Do you agree? If so, how do you think we should start them off? :)

Post by JAMES HOWARD STONE on Nov 13, 2012 11:41:44 GMT -5
HEY! I think James and Cole should get in a thread together. I'm sure at some point they'd come into contact because James Stone is the sheriff of the haven and tends to organize the raids. I don't know how well they'd get along... and since Jasten's military charrie is plotting against him, well... we could always see where this goes. I don't know if your charrie would even respect him since James was technically a Philly Cop for years, he was never in the military. SO! if you have any ideas let me know!
OH! And I also have my other charrie Alexander Varden, he's a hunter. Maybe they can get shuffled into a raid together or something! As you can tell I suck at coming up with ideas!

Post by COLE THEODORE ARMSTRONG on Nov 13, 2012 18:22:06 GMT -5
COLE & JAMES Oooh why is Kaiden plotting against James? Cole would probably just act indifferent to that situation unless it proved to be a threat to the community's safety. Cole doesn't really care about what others did for a living before the virus spread. He only cares about what they can offer to contribute to their current situation. If he could see that James was doing a good job running things and that James respected him, Cole would respect his in return. Cole is used to taking commands since being in the army, so he would follow orders given by James when necessary. However, I see them bumping heads if they disagree on something as Cole is stubborn when he knows thinks he's right. I don't really have any specific ideas for threads for them at the moment, but if I think of something, I'll be sure to let you know. Did you have any ideas for a thread? :)
COLE & ALEXANDER I see these two bumping heads at first as they are both stubborn lads around the same age...and they're both hunters lol. However, I think these two are more similar than they're willing to let on. They were both rebels in their younger years and most definitely ladies men. They both understand the urge to protect a sibling too. I can see these two sitting by a fire, drinking booze and talking about their pasts. I can see a respect between them forming, followed by a friendship once they hear out each others stories. I think eventually, they'd become very good allies. What do you think? :)

Post by MADALINE SOPHIA LEWIS on Nov 13, 2012 19:50:21 GMT -5
Hey now, he's not 'plotting' against Mr. Stone. Its more of a 'I am totally going to plant a bullet in your head if the lives of the people under me are threatened' sort of thing. So.... its not really 'plotting,' or it isn't yet. Not unless he feels like James isn't fully considering the needs of Kai's group. xD
In any case, about starting up some Maddie/Cole threads... I...hm. I'm actually not sure. I mean, given a bit of time, I could probably work out a starting post for a thread as I went. Its easier for me to do that then come up with a definite beginning to anything.
I'm sure by now its noticable that my plotting skills lay in creating the basic idea. The specifics... well. I kind of suck at that. XD
If you've got any ideas, let me know. Otherwise, when you want to thread, I'll get to work on something.

elizza && cole hey there! alrighty, so i think elizza and cole would be an interestingly fun pair. elizza is a hunter and believes she has no one left. she's stubborn, harsh, strong, sarcastic, and likes to be on the move. (not to mention being very fragile inside). now honestly this could go two ways: they could completely butt heads, or they'd be attracted to each other all the while not really being friends but act as co-workers in a way (since they're both hunters of course). elizza would probably see cole as someone to mess around with even if he hates it. buuuuuuut i can't think of any amazing plots right now, so you can check out her application if you have anything in mind. overall i think they'd be fun to thread at some point. ^-^

Post by COLE THEODORE ARMSTRONG on Nov 15, 2012 19:58:07 GMT -5
COLE & ELIZZA Elizza very much sounds like the female version of Cole in personality, so I definitely agree that they would be an interesting pair to play out! But because they're so alike, I can see them butting heads from time to time, but as fellow hunters, I see them having each others backs. Cole would definitely be attracted to her physically, but these days getting with women isn't his main priority, so they would need to connect on an emotional level (whether that's means learning about each other on a deeper level or having angry sex after an argument lol) for their relationship to go further. If nothing romantic were to happen between them, I still see them as great allies and friends in the future. What do you think? :)
