I move to this Island and the first thing that happens is getting absolutely trashed for St.Pattys day. Carly, thank you for leaving me on the floor in the hallway, my muscles are thanking you.

But you won't have to worry, I'll be finding my own place soon. Speaking of, would anybody be needing a roommate? I swear I'm not a drug lord or a pimp so you'll be free to enjoy your suburban blandness. I'm excited to become bland and boring too, so I'll need someone to educate me in the ways of student poverty. I'm sorry if this comes off as condescending, it's not. I want to make it on my own and I think you're all awesome. If Carly loves you all, so do I. Except if she loves some of you like that, well I don't know if I can return the favour.

Occupation: Heir to a Pharmaceutical Company; getting a job somewhere on the island
Status: Heterosexual/Single Lola's ~~stalker~~ future husband
Affiliation: Neutral

Family: Annabelle Root (mother), Carl Root (father), Meagan Root (older sister), Carly Root (older sister), Opal Root (younger sister), Jeannette McCarthy (aunt, mother's side), Jack McCarthy (uncle, mother's side).

Brief History: Cole, being the only male sibling in his family is going to receive the lucky role of being the next CEO of his Father's multi-billion dollar Pharmaceutical company, one that he doesn't want in the very least. Despite growing up pampered, going to private school (the whole shebang), Cole was one of those rich kids who only ever wanted to be normal, to go binge drinking at 15 with his high school friends and not have it end up on page 6 the next morning. And despite this definace, Cole is very smart and very dedicated, he's had to be to live up to his Father's standards, and with the main influence of his closest sibling Carly, he's turned out to be a nice guy too. Personality wise Cole is pretty fearless, he's got a confidence that prevents him from caring about what people think (which is a bad thing, if he wants to keep up appearances), and he doesn't really mind putting himself out on the line only to get walked all over (as declaring his love for Lola ends every time). He does however seek approval, from his family, his friends, the world; a side-effect of being the heir to a large fortune. Cole doesn't think he should have the responsibility of making a company succeed, and while he's got the business smarts, he's afraid of failing, but can' tell his Dad that.

When he turned 24 and graduated from Yale (like a good boy should), his Father told him that he would become a junior associate at the company to prepare for his role. Cole told his father quite honestly that he was on drugs if he thought Cole was going to do that. So Cole told the old man to fuck off, hopped on a plane and followed his older sister Carly to the island where he claims he's going to experience life as a normal 24 year old should, poor and neck-deep in bills.
