Biography

Early Years

Born on Corellia and raised by his parents, Kaitie Cassady and David Cole and his brother, Adin Cole. Riles was raised by a cold blooded killer mercenary father with the Mandalorians, and a hard working and caring Corellian mother. His brother, Adin Cole, slightly older than him and a much smarter lad. Adin grew up faster and learned much quicker than Riles, shooting past him. Riles waved his final goodbye to Adin as he left the family and joined the Imperial Academy. He last wrote home about joining the Imperial Navy and that was the last they heard of him as he mentioned something about being shipped out to a new assignment or mission. Riles - eager to follow his brothers foot steps - worked harder than ever before, wanting to join the Imperial service and fight for what's right.

Later Years

As time grew by, each day seeming slower but closer to his goal, Riles never gave up working his hardest. He still hadn't heard from his brother Adin, but knew he was alright. Riles was both eager to join the Empire, and to see his brother again. He almost dumped all of his hardwork though as his mother died from a major lung desease and he was terribly crushed. His father, David, quickly brought him into the Mandalorian culture. Riles learned little in the culture and its arts though as his own father was killed in action, his last location was unknown. Riles hoped that one day he may sign out of the Empire then and join Mandalore, but it was a far off sight. Riles, nothing left or worth while in his life, abandoned what he had left carrying no private items besides his father's two Mandalorian gauntlets equiped with vibroblades and his mothers wedding ring, hoping to use it someday once he was out of service from the Empire. He quickly enlisted in the Imperial ranks and went through the Imperial Academy.

Service Information

Imperial Academy

Riles slowly proceeded through the Imperial Academy as he had to much on his mind and was depressed. Not to mention that he was also not the brightest of thinkers. Failing the occasional test, he worked harder to gain his grades back and finished the courses with just above average scores. Riles enlisted into the Army for he was a groundpounder and it gave him greater strength in the end throughout the training in the Academy. Riles was welcomed into his Legion nicely and greeted kindly by his first XO and CO. Later to come to know a new XO and CO.

Imperial Army

When Riles stepped out of the Army, he had fresh Private bars pinned to his armor. Though, not lasting long as a Private, he was quickly moved up to a Private First Class. Again he proceeded with great speed to the rank of Corporal. Riles however, stopped there for a long period of time as he started to slack off. After a little encouragement from both his XO and CO, he worked hard once again. The few months he was Corporal he was again promoted. This time skipping the rank of Sergeant and being pushed all the way up to the E-6 of Staff Sergeant. Though only an enlisted rank, Riles enjoys it very much as he dreads the day of becoming an Officer. He prefers to be a lesser command, letting him focus on more specific things. Riles also enjoys the company and the people in Enlisted, as they all seem to share the same interest and ideas, not to forget that everyone in Enlisted is also just a goofy and strange bunch.

Operations

Mission: Hell's Paradise

The men Zane Cree, Dan Sheaff, Wiler Tiiow, and Riles Cole where lead under the lead of Bacara Kex as the CO and the acting XO of the squad was Zane Cree. The four man squad was dropped off to elimanate a Rebel force and its base. The lush jungle part of the world they were dropped off at was long with grass, and strange - while unique - flowers and bushes grew everywhere they could see from the LZ. The area they were in was also filled with dangerous animals that could harm both human and alien alike. The mission went well, countering minor patrols and light forces until Riles suffered from broken ribs and was heavily bruised with light internal bleeding on the chest by a blastail pack that attacked the squad during their walk through the tunnels under the waterfull, a way that was guessed to be quicker to the Rebel base. Zane Cree was also injured to the hand, taking very minor damage. Riles and Zane remained fit to fight none the less after a break and some patching up and continued on along with Dan and Wiler who were still unharmed.

Further into the mission after many Rebel meetings with more patrols, quite bigger in size revealing that they were gettting closer to the base. The squad handled all the patrols nicely, not taking anymore injuries, until they came across a frenzied Boma. Riles was injured to the leg and chest once more while he was flung him into a tree bringing him into unconsciousness as he tried to end its frenzy with a failed attempt. Dan was trampled by the Boma but recovered later into the mission in a med-bay as the wouds healed easily in a bacta tank. Zane finally killed the Boma as Wiler attended the two wounded men of Riles and Dan. After the Boma was taken care of, the squad took a break to heal one another and a rest to recover after the horrible incounter. They continued to the base patched up and ready to go, finally taking it in the end and was evacced from the LZ by a barge and brought to a med-bay where the four man squad was healed and taken care of till the injuries were gone.

Relationship

Inara Imperium

Inara, both a shy and talkative person depending on the situation at hand has come to know Riles very quickly in their first meeting with eachother. Though, both meeting after a long period of time in their Imperial careers, the day they met they both talked shyly with one another and kept all their conversations in groups. Slightly working around this, Riles came to know Inara much more quickly and the two grew closer together. Still only friends, Riles flirted with her occasionally and used small talk. Yet, still the two talked more and more as time passed and they worked around more things that blocked the way. She became one of Riles best friends now that both were comfortable talking in both private and public locations on almost anything.

When Riles asked Inara to the Winter Ball politely, she excitedly replied with a yes and the relationship between the two blossomed from there. The link with them though still didn't feel connected and they were both unsure on what to do. Shortly before the Winter Ball started, Riles asked her about the dating idea and after a short period of discussion on it, they both decided they would give it a try. Though, started out shyly again as if they were both new to eachother or had never met before, they also quickly past that. Now the two are in a steady relationship, admiring eachother and enjoying the others company trying to spend every second they can together. Even though Imperial regulations prevent most things in relationships, it can only go so far before service gets in the way but they get along just fine and have built a strong, loving relationship with one another. The two have both come to know loving to drink huge amounts of alcohol and dancing together a lot, as well as talking about military matters sometimes or just something random as most of the conversation is.

Personality and Traits

Riles, a hidden man behind the helmet and armor of a Scout Trooper class set, speaks technical in a witty and clever way. He says he has a low sense of humour, but some say he can have a good laugh though Riles still disagrees. His look is always serious and his voice is low and a bit gravely giving him a menacing and dreadful appearance to others that may not know him. He does not like killing, though he does it for revenge of his family and always thinks that: "It's him or it's going to be me," giving him no hesitation or thought making him almost cold and bloodless hunter. Under the worn armor, serious exterior, and low, rarely spoken voice always speaking military like, he's a very soft lad and cares for others.

Usually quiet about telling other how soft he is, most find out when either they need help or they ask a big favor which Riles cannot just say 'no' on. Trying to ignore the fact that he is soft and was like that since a kid, he changed himself as he went through the Imperial ranks making him seem ruthless and not having a care for anybody. Not after how much training though, and how much he hates the Rebels, it seems nothing could change him and he remains kind and caring for other beings. Once discovered by most, they usually use this against him whether it could be good or bad. He won't hold a grudge against them or become mad at them if they do use his weakness, as it seems he isn't just capable of doing that. None the less, he can still be rather impatient and always in a hurry to do something and get something done. Riles has Corellian blood in him from his birth parents, making him a strong, willed worker to complete things that are asked of him. Even the little Mando training and teaching his father showed him, it's improved his strength both mentally and physically for things.

Physical Appearance

Hardly any have seen his scarred face, revealing a cut across his cheek on his left side that will forever stay with him. And even fewer have seen Riles in a dress uniform or anything out of armor. Riles shows up very much in his Scout Trooper armor, well dented, scratched, and the white plastoid turning into a chipped silver gray over the years of use. Never accepting a new set of armor as he feels his armor is lucky as it has saved him more than once before from wounds and injuries that could have very well killed him. His right hand, showing an example of an accident, that was clean blown off and now replaced by a mechanical limb. Though, most cannot tell it from the ouside as it looks normal, until the feel the strength of his arm because of the enhanced mechanical units and servos giving him an upper hand in some cases.

Riles is usually seen walking around with some heavy weapon or an explosive device as he prefers the heavy things over regular. Still making a good shot and a great marksmen at sniping and longer range shooting, he found no interest to that. His armor is a basic Scout Trooper class with an Imperial Army symbol on his right shoulder pad, vibroblades hidden in his gauntlets for CQC uses, and a black line pattern over his armor that resembles much like the Old Republics' commanders used on their armor signifying rank and position. Riles rank bar also lay present on his left side of his chest plate, clearly visible stating that he was a Staff Sergeant of the Imperial Army. Riles occasionally wore a dark black cloak over his Scout Trooper armor for night ops and mission, revealing no white or any armor at all, his faceplate and helmet all too hidden in the shadow of the hood. He rarely uses it, only when he prefers to stay hidden in public or wishes to use it as camo for an operation.
