NAME: Saru
CONTACT: PM or spinmeatale
ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: EST, most active on nights and weekends. I tend to be on the slower side with replies depending on what I have going on IRL.
BRACKETS/PROSE: Both are good!

OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: None in particular.

IN CHARACTER

PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Cole is pretty physically affectionate, so he's very receptive to it from others. He'll not initiate it really unless he knows you, but once everyone is on the same page and comfortable then it's all pretty much fine by him.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Cole is a former gang member, former Black Ops agent, and current outlaw/bounty hunter. Physical violence is just another part of life for him, so he doesn't shy away from a fight. His skill is in sharpshooting but he can brawl with his fists just fine.
RELATIONSHIPS: This Cole is bi, so he's open to romantic or sexual relationships with anyone regardless of gender (though more partial to casual hookups or FWB situations). All partners must be 20+.
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: No special powers or defenses here. 
MAGICAL INFORMATION: None. Zip. Zero. 
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Cole is pretty healthy (despite all the firefights and chain smoking). Only thing worth mentioning here is his prosthetic arm, but it doesn't tend to give him trouble.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Speaking of his arm, good luck getting him to tell you what happened to it. He'll give you a different story every time. He also won't talk about his childhood during the Omnic Crisis. Feel free to bring these up, they aren't triggering so much as uncomfortable for him.

OUT OF CHARACTER

BACKTAGGING: I'm a pretty slow tagger myself so I will backtag into infinity. Please never assume it's been too long and don't hesitate to shoot me a PM if you're worried.
THREADHOPPING: I don't actually have a lot of experience with this. I don't think I'd mind, but let's discuss first.
FOURTHWALLING: Same as above, probably fine but let's talk.
OPT-OUT: I understand that with recent events at Blizzard, not everyone will want to interact with or feel comfortable with an Overwatch character. Particularly Cole. If this is the case for you, or if you would rather not interact with him or any reason at all, I'll respect that. No questions asked. Feel free to shoot me a PM or comment here (all comments are screened).

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

VISUAL: Cole looks, by all accounts, like a cowboy with a bit of a futuristic spin. He doesn't always sport the armor or the serape, opting instead to go with a more classic jeans-and-flannel kind of vibe. He'll almost always have the boots and the hat though, and that extremely tacky belt buckle. His left arm is an extremely sophisticated robotic prosthetic that goes all the way up to his shoulder. 
AURAL: He's got a deep, smooth voice with a heavy southern accent (you can listen to it here).
OLFACTORY: Cole smokes cigarillos, so the scent of them clings to him and his clothes most of the time. You might also be able to detect a hint of gunpowder if your senses are keen enough.
DEMEANOR: Cole is a dangerous man, but you wouldn't necessarily know it by the way he holds himself. He's got a relaxed, laid-back sort of vibe in most situations, and he's very personable. Always happy to chat and make new acquaintances. This aspect of him is genuine, but he isn't above playing up the "genial cowboy" act either if he feels like he needs to. Cole prefers to be underestimated in a dangerous situation than seen for what he is: an extremely proficient fighter and outlaw.
