Abel Collins

**Abel Collins** is supporting character in *Rebirth*, and the legitimate and second son of Noah Collins.

## Appearance

Abel Collins has a young and short build. He has light blond hair that is often unkempt with bangs, and light cyan eyes. His appearance notably takes after his mother's.

## Personality

Abel often keeps up a facade of being a joyful, carefree, and happy-go-lucky child. However, beneath the facade is a bitter, lonely and attention-starved child that panders to his parents heavily. His behaviors and mannerisms are heavily modeled after his mother Parish, who he has seemingly spent the most time with as he grew. Pre-mirror house abandonment, he was an innocent and naive boy, trying to obtain the affections of his older brother as well. Afterwards, traumatized and bitter, he left Neo alone and has become angry towards him.

In past timelines, Abel has absorbed his mother's behaviors and mannerisms further, as well as beginning to model Ian's behavior, notably being more cold. He became much more sinister and helped their plan of capturing Neo through being harmed himself.

## Ability

He seemingly possesses the capacity to form a bond with undead (possibly only abnormals) and control them to a certain extent. However the exact and full limitations of such control is yet to be known, and Abel cannot control this power well. Neo refers to his ability as a "contract ability", the full implication of this statement is yet to be revealed.

## Relationships

### Ian Collins

Ian is Abel's uncle. Though they don't really care about nor respect each other, Abel addresses him as "Uncle Ian" to be polite. In past timelines, he conspired with Ian to turn Neo over to the government, using himself as bait. In the current timeline, Abel learns of his death (caused by Noah) months after the occurrence.

### Noah Collins

Noah is Abel's father. Abel adores him and notes him to have been genuinely interested in raising him, and worries about his health. Noah of the current timeline is a bit hesitant to be as close, but after realizing he is failing Abel the same way he did Neo, he makes the choice to not let the past timeline memories of Abel overshadow the current Abel.

### Parish Clement

Parish is Abel's mother. Abel notes that she is disingenuous about caring for him and that she is rather shallow and selfish. In a freak attempt to regain control and establish her personal safety, Parish kidnapped him and took him to Koxu with her, thus ending up with him being experimented on.

### Neo Collins

Neo is Abel's half-brother. As young children, Abel looked up to him and wanted him to be part of the family. However, Neo did not feel the same and tried to use him to prove a point to their parents about favoritism. Abel is thus bitter about the mirror house incident and doesn't look upon him kindly. Noah has noted this and asked him to try being on neutral terms with him, which he initially objected to, but obliges anyway.

In past timelines, Abel has conspired against him to turn Neo over to the government's hands, with the help of his mother and uncle.

### Iva Collins

Iva is Abel's cousin. He looks kindly on her, and they have a generally good relationship. Iva does sometimes point out that Abel has strained relations with his parents, and has nudged him to talk about it.

### Hail

Hail is the shared pet dog of the Collins family, originally meant for Abel. Noah gifted the dog to him, but Abel abandoned him for having an attitude. Neo and Noah later named the dog.

### Olivier Paix

Olivier Paix is a government scientist that experimented on Abel. Successfully persuading his mother to let him take Abel to the labs, Olivier was able to obtain seemingly important information while also giving Abel fragmented memories of past timelines. Olivier has noted that while Abel was briefly under World's influence, something occurred that lifted its' control. Olivier theorizes the cause to possibly be Noah, and tells Abel his original purpose was to kill his brother regardless of if he realized it. He also considers them to be on the same boat.

Abel does not like him and upon their first meeting, was scared of him.
