Personality: Colin takes his job seriously, but he plays as hard as he works. He'll drink till he passes out cold, smokes like a chimney but it doesn't seem to affect his physical preformance at all. He will willingly fight, but he also has a lot of black belts to back that up. He has a temper sometimes to go with his urge to fight. Knows he knows what he's doing when it comes to planes and sometimes no one can tell him different.

Personal Quirks:Loves to sleep in and can seem to fall asleep anywhere anytime and go on little or no sleep for days or sometimes weeks, not saying that after a week he won't be affected, but seems less then others. Loves Pepsi, over coke, drinks to much and will eat just about anything. Especially loves chocolate ice cream and always seems to have room for it and loves extra cheese on anything that takes cheese.

History:Colin was born the only child to his parents, two very rich individuals. His father was a top grade weapons designer, and his mother was a military pilot. His father brought in all the money they could want, and when Colin came along they spoiled him rotten to the max. Even teaching him to fly basically from day one. They also went threw a lot of nannies, because Colin was to mean to handle. If he didn't like a nanny, he wasn't beyond setting them up to get fired.

He met his match though in a particular nanny named Rose Marie. She didn't take any shit and when Colin set her up, she came right out and told the parents what Colin did. She pointed out, it was amazing that so many nannies got fired for stealing. His parents started to realize a pattern and didn't fire Rose Marie. Colin was stuck with her.

Which in the end turned out to be a good thing. Since Colin went to a private school, he thought he was better then others, but Rose Marie started to show him he wasn't. Her teachings and not allowing Colin to get away with doing the drugs, drinking and sex, slowly made a dent in the child. He also got a girl pregnant at 15 and went a few years refusing to have anything to do with it. But with Rose Marie's encouragement, he slowly started to get to know his son when he was 3, but Colin's always paid support.

She also was the one that got Colin's extra energy into building model planes and martial arts. By the time he was 16, he was actually designing his own model airplanes and soon started to make his own gliders. The making of the planes seemed to calm the child and with the people he had to work with to make gliders, he started to form friendships with the lower class.

Colin's turning point came when a man he worked with, needed money for his daughters surgery. Colin at 17, took his money and paid for the surgury, never letting the man know where the money came from. Rose Marie always suspected that the man knew, but he never said anything. She was very proud of Colin and told him so. With Rose Marie's encouragement, he started to anonymously give to others who needed the help. Rose Marie made a big impact on the young man's life.

By the time he was 18 and graduated, he was trying to decide what to do with his life. His father wanted him to be a lawyer, his mother wanted him to join the military, but Rose Marie told him to take his talent for designing planes and use that. He was still deciding when Rose Marie had a massive heart attack and died. Colin was devistated.

After the funeral, he enrolled in college to be a plane designer,just like Rose Marie suggested. In his grief he threw himself totally into his studies. He didn't date the entire time he was in school, but his persistance paid off. He graduated early with straight A's. So finding a job for him was easy.

He applied for and was given a job with Hercam Marco, one of the biggest designers of planes in the world. He was given a top salary and proved their money wasn't wasted. He designed everything from passenger planes to single engines. Also while there he started to date again, taking a secretary he met flying with him. He never gave up on his love of flying. Soon Helen and Colin were married, but the marriage lasted 2 weeks. He didn't know his father paid her to leave. As far as Colin knows, she just up and left.

Once more he had to much time on his hands and coincidently at that time, the US Government came to him. They wanted him to design F-16's for flight on Mars. He thought it was nuts at first, but soon was told about the Mars project. He agreed to do it, but on the condition that if he got the jets to work, he could become one of the pilots. The Government agreed and after Colin got the jet's to work, he was given his job on Mars. He was also given a temporary military rank of Lt, since most of the pilots are military.

Colin was sent threw boot camp and had to cut his hair, but after bootcamp, he basically blackmailed the government into letting him keep his hair longer. He'd behave military, follow their rules, but the hair stayed. The government really had no choice if they wanted their jets to fly, so they agreed and Colin was soon on his way to Mars.
