Collin Youno

"It felt like everything I said and did had no meaning... like I was completely useless. So you don't get to stand here, and tell me that you understand, because you don't. We both know that you don't understand. And lying to my face isn't going to change that."Collin Youno, affectionately referred to as Linnie or Linny by Rose, is one of the main protagonists of Bonds: Retribution Prophecy.

Appearance
In many of Collin's first appearances, his hair was purple, with blue streaks, and curled inwards on either sides of his face, and was neck length. To keep his hair out of his eyes, and for accessories, he wears a cyan blue hair clip, and a while one beneath it. He has cyan blue eyes, that sometimes turn a darker blue depending on his personality. Collin wears a teal tank top with white and purple stripes, the right side of his shirt having a teal and purple sleeve with a melting-ish design.

He wears a normal pair of tinted jeans with various rips, and a pair of purple and cyan high top sneakers that fit him well.

As a child, Collin had baby blue hair, that was kept in place by yellow, purple, and pink hair pins. Collin's eyes also appeared to be baby blue. He wore a plane white dress shirt with a blue tie, an oversized shark hoodie, with large yellow stripes on either side of his sleeves, a pair of baby blue shorts, and plain white shoes. He sometimes wore a blue vest, with lighter blue stripes, another white dress shirt, black pants, and another pair of dark blue sneakers.

When dying his hair, Collin has messy red hair that has various blue-green streaks. Collin wears a dark gray office suit with a white pinstripe shirt and black shoes. He stands 5'3", and is 120 pounds.

Personality
When first meeting him, he can either be extremely sweet, or untrusting towards you. This was shown when he'd first meant Rose. The first five minutes was mainly him analyzing, and glaring daggers at her, however this was because he hadn't trusted her at first, and because of his attitude, which usually depends on his current mood. When getting to know Rose, it didn't take long for him to warm up to her. Unlike most others, Collin's usual persona is very friendly, and perhaps even childish. Collin also does not know what love is, but gets the basics, and understands it. Despite having Philophobia he wouldn't respond to realizing he's in love with someone like you'd think. For a bit he may as well panic but it never usually lasts long. He was actually rather happy about falling in love, despite having Philophobia.

Collin is also very energized due loving anything even slightly sweet, and having metabolism and issues in the past that go unspoken of. As a child Collin showed extreme fear of his father, and had always done whatever he'd asked. Even if it he was unhappy with it. For many years this went on, and he continued believing he was human, because that was all he'd ever known. When his perfect voice had cracked on stage, and he was shoved out of a six story window by his father, coming out of it with little to no bruises, he had still seemed afraid of his father, but was also very sad because of him-feeling useless and unloved. While Collin had been frightened, his father was petrified. But when seeing his father scared all the anger and hurt he had suddenly vanished, and he tried to comfort his father. After two more years Collin was obviously fed up with his father using and guilt tripping him, threatening him and stating that "He could only take so much." Before making his father give him everything he'd asked for, or to suffer the consequences.

Collin can be extremely sweet and loving. Despite not understanding love he knows how to show affection, and often does so by giving various compliments, hugs, and reassuring quotes. Sometimes even offering his "Beloved sweets" as a kind gesture towards his friends. His second personality is rather cold and impulsive, yet intelligent. It is only then Collin seems to be afraid of love, or maybe even dislikes it. That being said. He can be sweet, but he also may act very psychotic at times, perhaps even violent when unnecessary.

Collin's mood will sometimes switch without a good reason, and he himself has even admitted that it's happened before.

Backstory
Collin's father was a very greedy man. He was never satisfied with the amount of money that he made, and was always complaining to the Two-Year-Old child about how he was to never grow up and be like his father, despite the fact that Collin barely even knew how to speak. Some time around the age of six, he'd heard his friend speaking about taking their son to a singing group, and that gave Collin's father a so called, "Bright Idea." Mind you, Collin had grown up without a mother. His mother was believed to die after giving birth to him, but that was not true. Collin's father had suffocated her when everyone had left the room, and so, for years Collin blamed his mother's death on himself, and as "Payment" for his dept., he did anything and everything that his father had wanted. When his father got his hands on a bottle of whiskey, well, I'm sure you can imagine what happened. In the end, the bottle was smashed against eight-year-old Collin's head, and he was left without even a scratch, despite everything his father had done to him that night. In all honesty, Collin should have died that night, but he was born an immortal, so even if his father had tried, tried, and tried some more, he would always end up being unsuccessful. Collin was forced into the singing group, even though he had, and still has, intense stage fright.

A few months in, Collin's voice cracked on stage, leading his dad from aggravation, to rage. Once the show was over, Collin was taken back home to "Rehearse," by his father. Except they hadn't really gone home. His father had taken Collin to one of the most highest buildings that he could find that was close by. Once they made it to the sixth floor, Collin was shoved out of a window. His father had been even more freaked out to see that his son made it out alive, yet again without a scratch. And started believing that his son was a ghost, took a knife, and literally stabbed Collin in the back. Since his father was just a human, and wasn't at all Enhanced like Collin, the wound went away in seconds, leaving two confused males in the same room. His father began to beat Collin, blaming the child for everything that went on in his own personal life. Eventually, Collin got tired of this after years, and finally stood up for himself by threatening his dad that he'd see the end of his days If Collin even felt in any way threatened. His father finally stopped, and everything turned out alright, for the most part.
