Colt

## **Introduction.**

**Colt** (Real Name: Dimitri) is the newest character to be created for the main Virtue story-line. His current role in the setting is distinctly minor, and he is without nearly as much development as the other characters. Colt is not directly affiliated with either of the main groups in the storyline. Rather, Colt is the leader of a *third* gang.

Colt comes from a considerably wealthier family than any of the other main characters in Virtue, and he has not experienced the same hardships as they have. Unlike the members of Spike and Zero's gangs, who have all found ways to express their identities and desires *(be they benign or otherwise.)* Colt is rather accustomed to simply having things **his** way. In this way, Colt is not unlike a rather spoiled child. He has always had access to anything he might want, which has made him rather conceited. Colt has always found it rather difficult to form meaningful relationships with his peers.

Colt is unique in his perception of V-Punk culture, as he does not embrace it to express his identity or to take a stance against the tyrannical government of Virtue. Rather, Colt takes part in V-punkery to feel powerful, and important. His adoption of this lifestyle is unlike that of any other cast member.

### **Description & Information.**

#### **Pre-Vunk:**

Colt is an only child. He lives with his mother and step-father, a minor politician in Virtue. As a child, Colt was rather lonely. He would want for nothing, as his step-father would buy anything he wished for. Most of the other children Colt would grow close to however, would usually only take interest in his belongings. The schools attended by the other characters were not considered 'appropriate' for someone of Colt's social class by his parents, and thusly he was home-schooled. This isolation further alienated him from other youths in virtue. As Colt matured, he would develop an intense sense of insecurity regarding his worth. His step-father had always provided him with whatever he needed, so he never had to work for anything. He could make 'friends' by showing off his wealth, but none of them would truly value him as a person. These feelings made Colt feel weak, and pathetic. Colt would cut ties with his circle of friends, finding some relief in their departure. This is when Colt discovered the rising Punk movement in Virtue. Colt was immediately drawn to the idea of reckless, indiscriminate delinquency. He already did anything he wanted, this would be a natural step forward.

#### **Prior Events:**

Colt is unlike other listed V-Punks, in that his outfits are not made up of stolen or traded pieces. Rather, he simply purchased his outfit as he would purchase anything else. (With Daddy's credit card, of course.) Colt would indulge in his first V-punkery however, upon stealing his alias' name-sake from his father. A pistol. Colt would delight in the criminal aspect of V-Punk culture. Doing whatever he wanted made him feel powerful and important. His behavior would soon draw the attention of those who would admire him for what they perceived to be confidence or bravery. This favor was ill-gotten, however. Colt's arrogance was a product of his status. He was confident that any trouble he might find could be dealt with by his father, and that his stolen firearm made him safe from going too far. Colt treated his new life as a game.

#### **Main Events:**

Currently, Colt has no defining role in the main storyline.

### **Design and Development.**

A template and would-be color scheme for Colt has existed for a while. However, no concept art currently exists.

### **Trivia.**

* Colt was once considered as an addition to Zero's gang.
* Two members of Colt's gang have names. Being Sparrow, and Seraph. Sparrow was the original name for Cobra. Seraph is the only female-identifying v-punk in the Virtue cast, currently. (Others have existed previously.)
* Colt's original name was 'Cobalt', a name taken from one of the original members of Zero's gang, before they were made into more than joke-characters.
