Colin DeMaro

"Les go everyone is about ded." -Colin, HZA 1
==Description==
Colin DeMaro is a main protagonist in Happy Zombie Apocalypse. He is a security guard that later becomes a changed being through methods of nondescript mutagenic process. He spends his life in woes, until he comes across his old friend Terrance. His life is cut short in 2021, after he sacrifices it for the good of several innocent people.
==Appearance==
Colin DeMaro began his adventure looking to be a casual balding man, his face soft and round. Colin at the time, wears his corporation mandated uniform, alongside a security helmet that has 'MP' printed in white letters on its front. He carries a standardized M9 Beretta.
Immediately after the breach at Blinksin, Colin contracted mutagenic properties, his eyes becoming pure white, and his teeth noticeably in carnivorous in manner. On parts of his arms are small spikes made of cartilage, poking out of his clothing.
In his return in 2020, Colin is a mutant creature, with large spikes lining his arms and a row of larger spikes lining his back. His fingers and toes have sharpened into claws, and his body has gained a bulk since before. He looks around alert with his white eyes, and eats with his carnivorous teeth. Atop his bald head is a horn protruding out of the left side of his head.
By 2021, Colin is a mutant creature, with spikes lining his arms and a row of larger spikes lining his back. His have sharpened since before. He has a tail with three little points on it. Colin ceases wearing clothing beyond his punctured helmet from beyond 2015.
==Background==
===Employment with Blinkskin===
Colin knew that his calling was that of guarding others. He thought of joining the police, but got offered a job at a rather state-of-the-art (so said) science laboratory deep in Nevada. He enjoyed his job, before it came to an end with the events of HZA in 2015. Afterwards, Colin was deformed into a terrible mutant creature, and left behind to wander the ruins of the ancient facility, until he reunited with his old friend Terrance Lee as he is introduced to his team: Banshee, Bob, T, and Unnamed Character that he accidentally kills, until they are both captured and taken by Specula, a new corporation.
=== Employment with Specula===
Stuck in holding for an elongated amount of time, Colin was finally admitted employment as one of Specula's only non-human staff members. He spent most of his time filing paperwork, cleaning walls, and testing out new weaponry at their firing range, as well as taking care of his pet Clip. Everything would flip over with the failed experiment in 2021, where he barely escaped with his life after its total destruction. Colin later spent a portion of his life in the local woods, until he willingly ended it protecting his friend Jake and others from an attack from an unknown organization.
=== Death ===
Colin DeMaro jumped in front of a motorcyclist that was reportedly either armed with a pistol or grenade with malicious intent, causing the rider and their comrades to suffer at the death of a vehicular explosion. Colin's body was never recovered, and is presumed to have either been taken or buried nearby.
=== Resurrection ===
Colin DeMaro, after an elongated unknown time, has been destined to return from the dead through the powers of the Omnicrystal that once inhabited his body. Through this process also comes the creation of his twin self, known only as The Creatur.
==Notes==
*Present revamp pictures of Colin apparently lack his many spikes on his back and arms.
*Colin's last name was originally Mcguire, but was changed after being forgotten, being scratched up to just Harry forgetting his last time.
*Colin had a second horn growing in before his death, but it since transferred ownership to his twin.
