Biography
Augustus Cole was born and raised in the town of Hanover by his mother and father on the world of Sera. Even though Cole's father was present in his childhood and a good father, it was Cole's mother that had the biggest impact on his life. Cole cited his mother on often occasions as the reason for his best attributes such as his manners, respect, humility, patience, selflessness, and courage. At some point in his early life, Cole became interested in sports and began a hobby in Thrashball. Due to his sheer strength as well as abilities in coordination and planning, Cole went on to become a professional Thrasball star as an adult. A defensive lineman, Cole signed on with the Eagles before later signing on with the Hanover Cougars of his hometown. He became an international star and millionaire - garnering sponsors and endorsements. For most of his Thrashball career, he bore the number '83'. During his career, Cole won many games for the Hanover Cougars, one of them being the Allfathers Trophy against the Sharks. However, the validity of the game's referee was highly debated. Cole also won the International Finals against the Eagles by implementing a first-time maneuvering play as well as the Grayson Cup Championship - earning a championship ring. After becoming a two-time MVP, Hanover celebrated Augustus Cole by presenting a silver statue of Cole at the entrance of Cougars Stadium. He was often nicknamed by locals as "Hanover's favorite son."
In the 79th year of the Pendulum Wars, the Coalition of Ordered Governments finally won against the Union of Independent Republics by destroying their fleet with the newly launched Hammer of Dawn. The UIR signed the UIR-COG Armistice and sought for peace, except for the Republic of Gorasnaya that remained a UIR state and vowed to still fight the COG. Augustus Cole was relieved the war was over, but he also regretted not doing his part by fighting the war - as Cole believed his abilities could have been an asset in saving lives. Due to his fortune, Augustus Cole paid back his mother and father by purchasing them a mansion in Hanover, as his mother did not like living in Jannermont and having to clean so much around the house but refused Cole's money to purchase a maid.
Six weeks after the end of the Pendulum Wars, Hanover was still celebrating the end of the war. Augustus Cole was being driven across Centennial Bridge by his drive Josef to discuss a contract renewal from his agent when they both heard about a recent attack. Cole, Josef, and everyone on the Centennial Bridge tuned into their radios and were told by the emergency news that Jannermont was attacked and the city ordered an evacuation. Cole became concerned for his parents and initially believed it to be an attack by the Indies. But the news soon dispelled this theory, describing grey monsters that would emerge from underground and kill everyone in sight. Cole became increasingly concerned and thought it would be better to see the news on television. Cole left the car and told Josef to find his family and keep safe while Cole figured out what was happening. At the corner electronic store, Cole began to watch the news in the display windows along with dozens of other Hanover locals. The news was so disturbing that none of the locals recognized that Cole was among them. On the television, traffic cameras from Jannermont an hour earlier revealed monsters emerging from sinkholes and attacking everyone in sight, revealing the death toll in Jannermont to be in the thousands. The news also revealed a list of cities that had also been attacked, as well as former UIR states, confirming that these were not the Indies and that an alien force was attacking Sera. Cole feared that this event could be the end of the world. Sometime later, Cole discovered that his mother and father did indeed die in the attack of Jannermont. This day would later be known as Emergence Day, and the day ended with 100,000 people killed in Jannermont and 25% of the entire world population as well.
Overview
Personality and attributes
He was known by the nickname of Cole Train.
Highly energetic, enthusiastic, and cunning; Cole's gung-ho attitude has gotten him far in everything that he does. In and out of battle, he has an inexhaustible amount of energy that seems to amp up people around him. And with his childlike humor he was able to lift the spirits of the fellow Gears. Though Cole has a darker side, every night Cole writes a letter to his dead mother saying all the things he could not tell her in life, a custom practiced by many Gears.
Generally friendly to anyone he meets, Cole made several friends with during his time as a Gear during the Locust War. Since he enlisted in the COG Army, Cole has been best friends with his fellow Gear and foil Damon Baird. Having scared away two Gears who were ruthlessly antagonizing Baird when they were both recruits, the two would go on to serve together over the next fifteen years. Despite their differing personalities, the two generally work well together in any squad.
