Dad:Bryan David Ross

Personality:
Colin is quite complex. He's independent but not a loner, he can be cruel but he can be kind too, he's trustworthy but doesn't trust others easily, and he's smart but he rather not put any effort in to school work. While he may seem like a walking contradiction, there's more to Colin than meets the eye.
Colin is the type of person that is really independent. He's stubborn in the sense that he doesn't take help from anyone, and he prefers to handle things on his own. He sometimes comes off as unapproachable, or a bit of a loner just because he doesn't care if he has to walk to class all by himself. You'd rarely find him in a large crowd, but this doesn't mean he's anti-social. In Colin's opinion, there are just more people he dislikes than likes. Perhaps in his first year of high school that might change, unlikely as it may seem. But who's to know for certain?
Colin is very self-made. That is to say he doesn't care about what's 'cool' or what other people think about him. He does what he wants and doesn't pay attention to any negativity he receives from others. He can be awfully brutally honest with people. Sometimes to the point where it's even cruel, but his rationing is, he would want to hear the same honesty if there was something about him that bothered other people.
Don't get Colin wrong, he's not a total jerk, he just treats the people that have treated him like crap the same way. He hates being talked down to, or assumed to be 'below' anyone. He's a very confident person, and he'll put you in your place no matter what your status is in school. Colin has few close friends that truly know the real him, and although the amount of good friends he has could be counted on your fingers, he is a very trustworthy and reliable friend. Colin would always be there for one of his friends no matter what the situation. He's a headstrong individual who hold trust very high on his list of priorities. It's not easy for Colin to trust people, but once he does you can definitely trust him. He'd be there no matter what.
Although he is generally kind natured, Colin doesn't forgive people easily. He believes in an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth, and he could hold a grudge against someone for a really long time. If someone does something to hurt him or his friends, he's likely to take it very personal and get that person back ten times worse.
Colin is an average student when it comes to academics. He doesn't get extremely good grades, but he's well over passing. Colin is looking forward to graduating, and he plans to move out of the state once he does. He's definitely not very fond of his family, and is eager to get away from it all. Colin wants to move to Florida where he can go to flight school pursue a career in aviation for the military.
The worst thing about Colin is that he's probably one of the most stubborn people you will ever meet. He has serious trouble accepting help from anyone, and he always has to accomplish things on his own, it comes with his independence, unfortunately. Aside from that, Colin also has trouble trusting people. After his history with his dad, he really doesn't think anyone is ever truly honest with him, but perhaps he'll change in time. He also hold a grudge forever but again, perhaps that'll change in time too.: There is nothing particular that stands out about Liam's appearance. I guess you could say he's rather plain looking. He doesn't have those shocking blue eyes, or that football player's frame. He's just plain old average.
Appearance:
Colin can be described as tall, dark, and handsome, but if you told him that he'd probably think you were mental. Colin is rather tall for his age; he stands at approximately six feet. He may not have those perfect washboard abs, but Colin is in pretty good shape considering. He doesn't really play sports but he does get his exercise in jogging. Colin used to be a huge soccer fan when he was younger, but the interest has rather died away over the years. He enjoys simple activities like running and not so much team sports anymore, so his body used to be in better shape, but now it's pretty average.
Colin has boyish good looks. His hair is a deep brown color. It is more than often long, but Colin doesn't seem to mind. His hair does have a bit of a natural waviness to it, since his mom had curly ringlets. Colin has chocolate colored eyes that are his true weakness. Anybody can read exactly what he's thinking through those eyes but Colin can't help it. They also give him away when he's lying. Naturally, Colin's skin tone is somewhere between pale and tan, but in the summer he's usually more towards the tan side. While he generally has quite the laid back appearance, he still cleans up rather nicely.
Colin’s clothing style ranges, but for the most part he has a generally relaxed style. A sweater, jeans, and a pair of low tops would work for him any day, but he ever has to dress to impress, he'd definitely know how to dress. His mother was a fashion designer so he gets that quality from her, but all in all Colin just prefers to have a casual wardrobe that is [in the truest sense of the word] simple.
History:
Colin has a bit of an interesting history--- in the sense that his family is a little messed. At first everything was perfect. Colin was an only child, and he lived with his parents. His father was born in a small town in Italy, while his mother was a native of Paris, France. When his father decided to go to university in France, he didn't realize he would meet the love of his life there. Bryan and Dana married when Bryan was 27 and Dana was 25. They loved each other very much, and traveled the world together so it was quite a while before they conceived their first and only child. It was three years after their marriage in fact. Colin Peter Ross was born April 10th 1992 in the same hospital Dana was born in, in Paris France. The family lived in Dana's home country for 10 years. Bryan worked as a lawyer and Dana was a stay at home mom, and enjoyed designing fashion on the side.
Growing up, Colin was never the disturbing child. He was usually well behaved and only got in to trouble on occasion. Colin has always been a bit of an oddball. He liked things that most other kids didn't, and became mature at an earlier age than usual. His grades have always been just average since pre-school, but Colin's parents knew he was smarter than that. Though they constantly patronized him front not putting full effort in to his school work, Colin would always shrug and say he really had better things to do. What those 'better things' were, his parents didn't know, so they had always figured Colin was just lazy. What they didn't know was that their son had developed a passion for aviation. As a young child he'd constantly be building little models and wishing he could learn to fly planes for the military some day. Of course, this is a profession that doesn't exactly involve any more than flight school.
So life in the Ross home was pretty peaceful... or so thought Colin, now fourteen. His father was constantly claiming to be away on 'business trips' and was never home. Dana heard from other people that they had seen Bryan at several places--- none of them being out of town. Dana refused to believe what she had heard and for a long time there was a silent tension growing between his parents. Colin wasn't daft and he noticed it too, but he tried to avoid thinking about it and preoccupied himself whenever the thought crossed his mind. However, before long the dishonesty was more than Dana could take and eventually she found out he had been cheating on her. Devastated, Dana filed a divorce from her husband.
Dana moved to another part of France, while Bryan stayed in their current home, and Colin was stuck in the middle. Traveling between his parents was dreadful and he despised his father for what he had done to the family. Unfortunately the worst was yet to come. It was less than few months later that Bryan remarried to a horrible woman named Melissa Borden. When Melissa moved in, along came Andrew Borden (her son) with her. Andrew was the same age as Liam and just as horrid as his mother. They were selfish, spoiled, ungrateful and Colin had always suspected that Melissa was a gold digger, as his father was quite wealthy. Bryan, Melissa, and Colin's new step-brother Andrew seemed like their own content family.
Meanwhile, Dana had dropped the Ross from her name and bought her own house after taking a job as a writer at a prestigious magazine in France. Colin tried to visit his mother as much as possible, but unfortunately due to custody rights, had to visit his father just as much. Colin had no idea why his father kept custody of him. They never spoke, and when Colin was home he'd stay as far away from the house as possible. Afterward, his mother Dana began to sink in to a depression. This only enraged Colin further as this was his entire father's fault. Dana began to develop some bad medical habits and was soon checked in to a rehabilitation center. Colin couldn't believe all the hell his father had caused while he was happily living like a king with his new family.
At this point, Colin was forced to live with his father since his mother couldn't take care of him any more. Colin could no longer stand being an extra wheel on to his father's new family, so he saved up enough money from working two jobs and booked himself a plane ticket to California. He loved France, but unfortunately there was nothing left for him there, so he was on to the United States. Luckily Colin was fluent in both French and English so that was never a problem. He plans to graduate High School, then attend flight school in Florida where he can afterward join the military and fly bomber aircrafts.
(This one is really long i know! But again like i said it is fun to make more characters and more characters. I am going to keep them active too. Lets see how well i do haha.
