TheCycoticGamer

''This is a page pertaining to the character from the Coven SMP. Please note that this is fiction, and the individual playing the character is doing so for fun and for purely fictional purposes.''TheCycoticGamer, most commonly known as Cole, found himself next to alexanotfound in a new world. Without a clue of who he was, he found an odd comfort in her presence, and thus, the two developed a residence together. However, things changed one night, and the two found it best to return somewhere familiar... A return to normalcy.

Cole collected his things from the Colexa Shack, picked up Goose and a resurrected Bird, and moved in with EAST residents, E418 and sinaheh. Embracing his new alliance, Cole is quested to fulfill an owed debt to the one with the power to educate him on who he used to be.

Physiology
Cole always appears as a light-skinned individual with thin arms and almost always sports a pumpkin on his head. The pumpkin is carved with two black, beady eyes. It nearly covers the entirety of his head, but provides a glimpse into what's underneath the identity-protective gourd.

In his new beginning, Cole finally revealed to the world what was protected by the pumpkin for so long. Hidden by the mask was nothing extraordinary, nothing arcane, and nothing worth hiding: scars. A lifetime of hurt manifested in permanent, physical damage. Reminders of memories that left him... scarred. The only difference now is his willingness to embrace what's made him himself after all this time of concealment.

Flaws
Cole knows very little of himself or who he used to be, and knows only what his heart tells him to do; instincts that arise randomly, triggered by something he has yet to identify. It makes living difficult, and it leaves him feeling very vulnerable. More the reason to empower himself with the finest defenses, and to choose his friends carefully.

Role
Cole's role in the Coven SMP lore was that of a tragic villain, a character that is completely aware of the evil they're causing, but is unable to stop it, or must continue being evil for other reasons. However, as of May 2021, Cole has transitioned into a new role as the nation leader of Covelia.

D&D Alignment
It's believed that Cole's D&D alignment is Chaotic Good.

Divine SMP

 * Main article: TheCycoticGamer (Divine SMP)

Towards the start of January 2021, Cole joined the Divine SMP, where he established himself as an axe-wielding manipulator after falling into a dark headspace, having prepared for a war that never came, and fulfilling a favor that was never asked of him. He was put on edge, and sought the end to the same corruption which broke him and his sanity.

Colexa

 * Main article: Colexa

Cole found himself in a field surrounded by people he knew only at heart. Instinctually, he made an alliance with Alexa, and together they built a shack by the coast. He had less of a connection with the others though, up until Colexa fell through and ultimately divided the duo.

EAST

 * Main article: EAST

Induction
Alone, Cole's heart led him into the murky waters of a swamp, through thickets uphill, and into the presence of the woman in the woods. From this point onward, Erin had been a gracious host who has provided food and shelter to Cole when that was scarce. What was more than that is the knowledge she had promised. Consequently, Cole owed a debt of servitude to Erin, and by extension, EAST.

Cole was inducted into EAST, and made a decent impression on the other core member, Sina. The three of them lived in solitude among the dark oak trees, but the faint ruffle of leaves and tweets of birds was not enough to drown out the thoughts of Cole's active mind.

Homecoming
Homecoming was the plan devised by EAST to relocate all persons of the Coven SMP to a town constructed at Spawn. Cole led the plan and built the town as his final act of servitude; the service that would get him out of EAST. He spent days, weeks even, on Spawn. Each residential home faced the cardinal direction, east. Cole developed an economy selling bee-related products at the Bee's Knees, as well as amethyst at the mef market with Alexa. He planted farms and crops, terraformed and landscaped, and ultimately gave birth to something much larger than himself. In tribute to the family he sought in the homecoming, the coven of witches, he named this village Covelia.

However, it became apparent that the other members of EAST were not interested in pursuing the idea. Their efforts were instead dedicated to a side project, another village for EAST members. Erin told Cole that it was a safehouse, a refuge, since the EAST House was already too well-known by the public. Cole considered his efforts null, and for nothing. He knew where EAST's priorities lied, and they weren't with Covelia. They weren't with Cole.

He looked out at his unfinished Covelia one dusk, and reflected in his efforts, and his loss. A barren town, save for himself and the animals he tamed alone, as well as an ocassional visit from Alexa and Becca, or business with DB. - He lost motivation for his efforts, and his heart throbbed in defeat. He passed plans for the last item, the EAST Sanctum, off to the other members of his allegiance. A day later, he received one last message from the woman in the woods.

Full Disclosure
Cole valued communication, and braving the courage to finally disclose all truths and talk his burdens with his closest ally, Cole realized that full disclosure was a difficult thing to obtain. As much as he wanted it, as beneficial as he thought it would be, it proved that only a select few could not bear the weight of his heart. Cole told Erin about Alexa's idea to kill Sina due to her connection to Divine, and how it was quickly dismissed by disagreement and by force, yet Erin drew away from Cole. He thought that by finally communicating, the two could get close enough to where she could tell him the answers he was searching for; to finally understand his story, and to finally know his purpose in her devised world. Communication only went one way, and Erin withheld her words from Cole. "It was never meant to be."

Epilogue
His time with EAST was time that provided a sense of security. That's what he sought, at least. Cole was promised a "return to normalcy," as if such a thing was obtainable in a new world when his new normal had been redefined by his pride in Colexa. The divide left him alone though, forced by his own hand, now in the hands of another; a delicate leaf found refuge from the storm. But the refuge was unstable; there was no security with EAST. The answers Cole sought for himself were not found, even by the one that brought him into the world. The mother of the realm, the necromancer, Erin, made Cole a shell of his former self. She held back the truth; hypocrisy to the axe she had gifted him upon induction: Full Disclosure. Six Words was a tale of his former life, yet it was a lifetime he was told he couldn't return to, because Erin ultimately feared Cole's potential with someone other than herself. She harbored secrets, and a lack of communication of her motives, and his truths, were all too telling of a failed relationship. His caretaker pushed Cole out from his home and comfort after all the promises she had made, after all the good fortunes there were said to be. Despite everything they had been through, and all the hurt, she was done with Cole; a true return to normalcy.
