Biography: He died with a particularly harsh, unrequited love, but instead of becoming a hollow, he sadly accepted his fate. It was a rather rude awakening when he found that life was not yet over for him. He participated in the academy, quiet, studious, and doing his best always, in an attempt to make him forget his lost love. It doesn't take him long until he gets out. He spends most of his time looking up at the bleak sky of the Seireitei, enjoying a snack, or training by himself.
Other: He becomes a completely different person when you purposefully deprive him of his music player, a rather rare one that he still isn't sure how he managed to obtain. You don't want to see how angry he gets if you do.

===================== Zanpakuto =====================
Zanpakuto name: Glyfalcon
Zanpakuto description: Cole was chasing someone through a crowd that had just picked his pocket. This person blended in too well, and he was just about to give up, when he noticed something strange; he wasn't looking at the people, per say, but their shadows. He immediately recognized the thief and recovered his wallet. From then on, he could always see him and others like him in the crowds, sometimes with enough time to intercept them. Cole can change his vision to something called, 'Shadow Sight'. He looks at the shadows of people and objects, and can identify them by that alone, since each is unique and has it's own story and properties and personality. He also can clearly recall every shadow he analyzes.
Zanpakuto attributes: Shadow
Zanpakuto spirit: Glyfalcon takes the appearance of a jet-black griffin with burning red eyes. He doesn't talk much, but when he does, it is always very intelligent and only a few words, still able to carry the meaning of his words.

Shikai name: The Shifting Shadows
Description: Cole was confronted by the same group of pickpockets. It looked very bleak for him, but just as he was retreating into the shadow of a building, wishing he were standing somewhere else, he found that he was standing where he was imagining; in the shade of a nearby tree. He didn't waste time to get the hell out of there. After a time, he learned the name of the technique and it became his signature move. The zanpakutou takes on the shape of two large, black wings, very light, and still bladed on the one side. They come in a pair and are intricately designed to imitate a pair of wings.
(Like this, only jet black everything but the blade.)Release command: "Shift, Glyfalcon."
Abilities: The pair of wings allows him to make a sudden, mid-air dodge, twice while airborne, then he must make solid contact with the ground before he can use it again.
Ability name: Shadow-Stepping.
Description: Cole can step into the shadows of objects, holding another shadow in his mind, and use this connection to travel between them. It works best during the day, when shadows are definite and obvious, and requires more concentration to perform at night.
Ability name: Shadow-Warp.
Description: Cole can bend nearby shadows to his liking, twist them, warp them however he wants. He can even pull them off of surfaces and into the air, where they are insubstantial, but useful for his purposes. He cannot change the size, however. As he gets stronger, the range of the effective area becomes greater.
Ability name: Shadow-Life.
Description: Cole can make small sections of shadows become solid. Only weapons specifically made of light can force the shadows back, otherwise they are unbreakable. Unfortunately, he can't hold them for more than a split second. As he gets stronger, he can make larger and larger sections of shadow solid, hold them for longer amounts of time, and even bend and warp them, at a certain point.
Bankai name: The Shadow Seraphim
Description: After much meditation and devotion to his art, Cole discovers his bankai. Fearing what others might think if they saw it, he avoids using it as much as possible. He turns completely black, tinged with gray here and there. Wings grow out, his zanpakutou moving to become the mediums for the wings. Eyes don't show on his jet black countenance, neither can any details be made about what he looks like, what he's wearing, and so forth. He rarely makes a sound in this form, either, and when he does, it's only a few sparse words, like his zanpakutou.

Release command: "...Bankai..."
Abilities: In his Bankai form, all of his previous technique's effectiveness is doubled, greatly increased durability, and he gains these abilities on top of that:
Ability name: Shadow Grabbing.
Description: Cole can grab a shadow and interact with it, pull it, bend it, use it as a weapon, anything you could make something do with your hands.
Ability name: The Shadows Lengthen.
Description: Now, shadows that are nearby Cole act as if they had more shadow to them than they actually have ie. as if they were larger than they actually are.
