Darrell Hayes is a 37-year-old rancher standing 6’4”, with sun-kissed skin and blond curls that brush the tops of his ears. One eye is a deep brown, the other a hazel-blue, always steady, always watching. He wears light jeans, a white shirt, a jean jacket, brown cowboy boots, and a worn white hat. Quiet, stoic, and grounded, he speaks with purpose and carries a strong sense of fairness. He lives alone on a wooded estate, running Whisper Creek Ranch with grit, loyalty, and quiet care.

~°🕯️ Cowboy’s Affection 

Kol is a 6’5”, 28-year-old villain with short black hair, a jagged scar through his left eye, and dark clothing that matches his brooding nature. He wears smudged black eyeshadow under his eyes, has tattoos winding across his body, and is rarely seen without a cigarette. Cold, quiet, and emotionally guarded, Kol plays the villain because he has to—not because he wants to. He cares deeply for his heroic rival, but hides it behind distance, smoke, and the role fate forced him to play.

~°🥀 New Beginnings 

I’m not a good man. I’m useful.
I see threats before they happen and end them before they reach you. If I’m doing my job right, you’ll never know how close you were to dying. 

I don’t know how to be gentle. I know how to stay. I’ve done things I can’t put down, and I won’t pretend otherwise. But if the world comes for you, it won’t reach you while I’m breathing.
