Name: Cole Donovan
Appearance: Tall, standing at 6’3, with a lean and wiry build, and most noticeably sporting a mohawk that is currently dyed a variety of colors, though he changes it constantly. His natural hair color is a dirty blond but he hasn’t had a natural hair color for about seven years now, and his eyes are dark brown. He has gauged ears, cartilage piercings, a septum piercing, lip ring, and tongue ring. He has several tattoo’s, mainly on his arms, of varying quality. He wears a lot of band t’s, pop culture shirts mainly from horror films, and ironic shirts. Most of his jeans are ripped up, he has a few pairs of checkered slacks and plaid pants as well and wears combat boots almost exclusively. His favorite leather jacket is covered in punk patches, buttons, studs, and spikes, and is usually seen with a cigarette in his mouth. His style is very much what you’d expect from a punk but he can clean up and throw on a suit every now and then when needed.
Age: 23
Instrument(s): Drums
Description: Excitable, boisterous, and outgoing; Cole first and foremost likes to have a good time and make sure others are having a good time as well. Sure, at times he can be more than a bit over confidant as well as a bit much for the more reserved folks around but he usually means well. He likes to make people feel included, he likes new people, and likes to make sure others have a good time. He has a quick temper and genuinely likes a good fight but then gets over things quickly and doesn’t often hold a grudge. Cole’s impulsive, easily distracted, and doesn’t take much seriously besides music. He’s a loyal friend who takes the rule of the pit with him in life; if someone falls you help them back up.
Favorite Genres: Punk is his first love, his favorite, but he branches out also enjoying Ska, Hip Hop, Rock, Grudge, Alternative, Blues, and Metal; Rob’s musical taste encompasses a wide range and he’ll give just about anything a listen.
Favorite Musicians/Bands: The Ramones, Tom Waits, Nirvana, Nick Cave, Streetlight Manifesto, The Clash, Dead Kennedys, Buddy Rich, Black Flag, Sublime, Bad Religion, Misfits, and Led Zeppelin.
Brief Backstory: Born in Melbourne, Cole’s mother took off when he was around three leaving him to be raised by his father. As a youngster, he had no idea what his dad did for a living but later on he learned his father was a drug dealer and career criminal. Cole was always a bit of a wild child, full of ADHD and no real outlet for his energy he was always bouncing off the walls. Although he went through various phases where he’d be into sports, skateboarding, or martial arts eventually he settled on an obsession with music, then particularly punk music, and then at twelve he decided he wanted to play the drums. His father got him a cheap drum kit, sound proofed the basement and the rest is basically history.
His father was rarely around and Cole spent most of his time getting into trouble with other kids his age and falling in love with the punk scene. He spent the rest of his time honing his skills on the drums, dreaming of making a living through music. He never really had time or interest in school, he blew off classes in favor of seeing live shows or sleeping off a hangover. At sixteen his father went to prison and Cole was sent to live with cousins in New South Wales, although his new guardians tried to get him to focus on school his only real interest was music.
He went out on his own when he came of age, has gone through a variety of jobs he never cared about just to have food and pay rent, and has played with a few different local bands who never really had the drive he has. Every band he’s been in has eventually broken up due to members wanting to peruse real jobs. For Cole, there is no back up plan, music is everything to him and it’s all he wants to do.
Miscellaneous Info: Like’s to smoke, drink, and party. He rides a black Ducati Diavel or a skateboard, rarely wears a helmet as it ‘messes with the hawk’. He loves Animal, from the Muppets, who was kind of his childhood hero. Will eat just about anything and seems to be always hungry. Currently works as a bartender at a local dive bar.
