(art by me - crappy I know but I tried xwx)
Occupation Wondering what Cole does for a living? Well, you won't be too surprised to hear that he's a tattoo artist. So, you're probably thinking, "Oh, how original," but in fact, he's a very specific tattoo artist. He'll only tattoo those who can't pay him. You heard me correctly, he tattoos for those who don't have enough money to pay the steep price of a tattoo. Sometimes, people need tattoos to remind themselves of something lost. A loved one, a pet, something important that they lost. Tattoos are important. They are captured memories that can never be lost. Some need a tattoo for reasons that they can't pay for. Cole will steal ink and new tattoo guns, all so he can do what he loves to do for free. He specializes in New School black and white. Cole can tattoo anything, but he most enjoys tattooing this style, because it's manly the style that Thing transforms into on his arm. In fact, he tried using Thing for needed ink, but it turns out, Thing can only stick to his own skin. Anything from Thing that he puts on others washes off within a few days, and just comes straight back to the ink blob. Thing and Cole enjoy their "job" very much, and can't imagine not doing it every day. |
Personality
Cole is a very interesting fellow. You see, he's extremely gifted in the area of art. Anything that has to do with creativity is always right up his alley. He's more the strong, silent type that thinks more than he speaks. He believes that talking would decrease his chances of having an art epiphany. In ancient mythology, there are these creatures, called Muses. They supply great minds with creativity, a spark of imagination, and that is why people say that they've either found muse, or lost it. Thing, the shadow, is sort of like Cole's muse. Whenever the little blob of ink is around, Cole always has something to draw or write or paint. Usually most of his ideas come from the tattoo that Thing forms on his arm. Each day is different, and so is his muse. Other than this, he's very generous and sweet. He can also be quite the romantic when he wants to be. The one thing you need most in a relationship or romance, is creativity. Creativity is Cole's middle name. Not literally, of course. Cole's middle name is Owen, but he tends not to tell people that specific fact. Thing's Personality
Thing is the source of all Cole's imagination and creativity. When they are apart, Cole feels as if something is missing, and Thing goes into a very serious doubt of depression. You see, Thing has a hard time expressing himself since every time he talks, it just sounds like gurgling liquid. There are even times when Cole can't understand him, and it saddens the poor blob to know that he can't express himself through words. He can, however, express exactly what he's thinking through the tattoos he forms on Cole's arm. This is how he communicates with Cole, and they understand each other quite nicely. Other than this, Thing can be a bit jealous, sarcastic, and humorous. He can, however, get extremely frustrated at times whenever Cole isn't paying attention to his designs, and can pitch quite a fit. |
