Background= Cole had been seriously overweight since he was young. It was a combination of his slow metabolism, his parents' negative influence and the bullying he faced at school. His wealthy parents, though affectionate on the surface, neglected him emotionally. They only gave him comfort in the form of food and enabled his bad habits in subtle ways. They viewed Cole as a trophy; the fact that they could fund his unhealthy lifestyle was a sign of fortune they liked to flaunt to the public by posting pictures of him online. On top of that, his classmates would force feed him as a joke. When he hit the peak of his despair, he decided to go behind his parents' back and signed up for a weight loss program. His mobility issues lessened, he managed to make an online friend or two and he opened up his own bank account so he could earn his money with freelance art. His parents eventually picked up on this and waited until his 18th birthday to kick him out. Since then, he rents a small appartment, living off of disability income and a parttime job at retail.

• into light petplay, sometimes pretends he's a dog when no one's in the room with him
• still struggles with binge eating; Cole makes a conscious effort to eat less frequently, but it's also important to him that he can still enjoy food. He picked up baking as to make something productive and creative out of his habit.
• even three years after his parents cut off contact with him, he feels confusion, love and grief towards them. he can't understand they'd leave him to his own vices just because he didn't benefit them anymore.
