Collin Gowin

General
An aggressive boy who doesn’t take anyone’s shit.

Appearance
Collin is small for a boy his age, on average in his country at least. He’s somewhat chubby but is still somewhat muscular and sturdy. He has a boxy face with some faint freckles all over his body. His eyes are almond shaped and bright yellow. His nose is large and it’s bridge is tall. His hair is bright red and thick, it’s very curly and he usually ties it back in a ponytail, leaving his bangs to frame his face.
He usually wears simple clothing, usually jeans, T-shirt and jacket. He doesn’t dress for fashion and mainly wears mute or simple colors, like grey.

Personality
Collin is very hostile and defensive. He always puts on an angry face and is always ready for a fight. He isn’t friendly at all, and when people try to befriend him or talk to them, he reacts with hostility and distrust. He thinks lowly of others and automatically assumes when someone approaches him they either want something from him or a fight. Even if someone managed to befriend him he’s still somewhat hostile. He lacks a filter and isn’t very good at expressing his emotions or dealing with others emotions. 

History
Collin grew up with his mom, dad and sister. It was an unpleasant household, his dad was a terror and his mom didn’t even try to protect her children. His parents were never married, and his dad was a criminal. He was in and out of the house, sometimes for weeks at a time, but he usually returned home and proceeded to let out his rage on his children and spouse. When Collin was a small child, his dad managed to blind his sister.
His mom worked part time and jumped from job to job frequently. The only person who made his home life tolerable was his sister, who left the house to go to school starting around the time he was ten, only coming back to visit for weeks at a time.
He eventually dropped out of school to follow in his dad’s footsteps. He joined his dad’s little gang and joined on their assaults and robberies, and even after his dad was arrested and his mom ran off, one of the gang members took him in and he stayed with the gang.

Magic
Collin is a fire elemental, with a knack for electricity. He only really worked at the elemental part of his magic simply because he found it most useful for his needs. He also has the ability to shapeshift into a small wolf-like dog. He developed this skill at an extremely young age due to the pressure from his father.

Occupation/Schooling
Collin dropped out of school when he was around fourteen. He was always an awful student and didn’t really care about class or studies. He was a disruption and got into frequent fights, often leaving boys bigger than him bloody. He was in constant trouble but the school kept turning a blind eye to him, calling him a troubled child.
While not really his job, he does do work with the gang his dad started. It has some cult-ish vibes to it, and they mainly do robberies or drug smuggling, but many of the gang members are brutal and violent, most of their crimes end up being assault.

Interests/Hobbies
He doesn’t really have any hobbies, the closest thing he has is some interest in martial arts and any sort of combat, but that is more to use for his own purposes than anything else.
