Colin

Colin McGlynn was the former leader, now one of two leaders of the Original Elementals. He 13 years old and in 7th Grade at Lewis F. Mayer Middle School, and was the Elemental of Light. Before the Malladian Saga, he seemed to be overly polite and no-nonsense in the scene of battle. However, after defeating Malladian with his bare hands, he grew to have a less-stressful personality, but was still kind and caring.

Colin took a place in Elemental Legend as the one who defeated Malladian, "Our Greatest Folly", and the one who gave birth to the leader of the NXT Elementals, Julie McGlynn. His life "ended" when he defeated Bill with a bottle of Elementitis, but Bill turned Colin to stone before it could happen, causing him to "die" in front of the NXT Elementals. However, his legacy was long-lasting, and Colin appeared as a ghost to the Resistance Elementals.

History
Colin was born on August 30th, 2002 at University Hospital, Cleveland Ohio. Something strange was reported at his birth, as when he first entered the world, a voice from above stated "This, Colin son of Matthew, is the destined apprentice of the Elements, in whom I am pleased." It was never revealed who said this, but it has been hinted that Spirit was the one who said this. Being the descendant of Petra (In the Child Timeline, not Zelda), Colin often had dreams where he was visited by Spirit. He eventually was in 6th Grade when everything changed.

Appearance
Colin is fairly physically built (probably from his time as an Elemental). He had brown/blonde/dirty blonde styled hair (in picture) hair, white shin, hazel/green/grey eyes that were once blue. He usually wears tennis shoes, jeans, and a t-shirt (or a coat and gloves depending on weather.)

Personality
Colin has been shown to be brave in the face of danger, such as when he jumped into two vortexes to defeat Bill and Malladian, respectively. He has also been shown be incredibly kind and caring, sometimes to the humble point where he thinks that he is a problem. However, despite this, there is another flaw, which is stress, which can sometimes reach clinical points.

Aidan
Colin and Aidan are both the leaders of the Elementals, and are great friends, able to adapt to each other's methods. Colin showed sadness when Aidan died, and the revived Aidan showed depression when Colin "died." The two can easily work together, and love each other as friends and in a brotherly way.

Ryan
Colin and Ryan have been friends since 2nd Grade, and that relationship continues today. Colin respects Ryan as a leader, but doesn't like his arguments with Aidan, which Ryan and Aidan to distance themselves from each other. Other than that, they are great friends.

Kleigh
Colin and Kleigh have been friends since they were very little, and have almost nothing against each other, and they share a brotherly relationship. Colin respects Kleigh's logic, smarts, kindness, and humor, while Kleigh respects Colin's leadership skills and kindness. Kleigh was devastated when Colin "died."

Sydney
Not much interaction between the two had been acknowledged, but they are friends and comrades.

Sean
Colin and Sean are great friends, and in a "quartet" composing of Colin, Kleigh, Ryan, and Sean

Spirit
Colin recognized Spirit from a young age, and when personally meeting him, he grew to view Spirit as a mentor-like figure.

Anna
The two, as Elementals, initially didn't have much interaction, but soon grew into friends, as Anna was a co-leader. They both respect each other's kindness and leadership qualities. When someone mistakenly called Colin Anna's boyfriend, Anna blushed, but later, yet nervously, denied it. This has created an unconfirmed ship.

Abilities and Powers
Colin has the Element Band of Light, which gives him EM Spectrum Manipulation, or the manipulation of light. His power level of his band is one of the highest, at 2,000, just behind Aidan's, which is 2,500. Colin shows great leadership abilities and bravery. He is also shown to be great at in the art of sword wielding and martial arts.
