TheCycoticGamer

"I laid in bed that night taking in everything that happened.

I had spent the whole day getting ready for a battle that never happened.

Yet six words were all that floated through my head:

'It was never meant to be.'"

- — Cole, in his book titled "Six Words" TheCycoticGamer, also known as Cole, is one of three members of GCE Construction Inc. on the Divine SMP server.

As a brotherly, if not fatherly figure to his two associates, GTheFarmer and erinisnotfunny, he acted as comfort and the voice of reason for the group leading into the First Trial. Despite having won the case, the rumored plots for vengeance went to his head. In a matter of days, paranoia took over and led Cole to accuse his neighbors, as well as his friends, of treason.

He was last seen on the SMP on the night of January 14. In a final confrontation with Erin, Cole pressed to know what was going on behind his back. Nearly threatening her for information, for the truth, he asked for her weapon. Begrudgingly, she dropped it on the floor, and Cole subverted expectations with a mysterious trade, and vanished.

Early Days
After Erin initially assembled the women who would begin the Divine SMP, she invited Cole and his friend G. They spent their first day gathering resources and adapting to new living. Later on, they settled in a chasm which they would dig even deeper to become The Ditch.

Out on an adventure alone, Cole stumbled upon what he thought was a small jungle biome. However, this wasn't the case. He had discovered Divine's treehouse, which was a hidden outpost. Finding this base and reporting the coordinates to her was worthy of a prize provided by DivineDoll herself. Cole and his companions decided upon three mooshroom cows, which were granted. This wish came with an underlying consequence though, and now Cole owes Divine a service.

Pre-First Trial
Cole prepared for the First Trial like his life depended on it. Murmurs of a fallout between all members of the Divine SMP echoed through his head as he grinded for levels, enchanted his gear, and prepared for a fight that never came. He encouraged Divine and sinaheh to consider defending GCE.

Post-First Trial
When the verdict was in and GCE was proven not guilty, there was a subtle rejoice. Cole knew that he was in the right when they were all sued. However, the event left a sour taste in Cole's mouth. There was promise for war, for bloodshed, and when that never came, he was left with adrenaline. He needed to release it. He non-canonically murdered his allies, revealing the name of his strongest weapon: Full Disclosure. The three left for bed that night, but Cole wanted more.

Approaching the front door to their mushroom abode, Cole witnessed alexanotfound and minka444 traversing the hill; GCE property. His accusers, the ones who tried to rob him of his wealth, stood before him. The hours of preparations, the whispers for a fight; his thoughts consumed him, and he pulled the trigger of his rocket-loaded crossbow, releasing three spectacular shots at the enemy. - Realizing what he had done, he quickly retreated inside, slamming the door behind him and pursuing his company upstairs. He logs that night in his book, Six Words.

It's evident he was never the same thereafter.

Confrontation
Having been consumed by paranoia and mistrust in everyone on the Divine SMP, Cole began gathering resources for self-isolation. He wanted to get as far away from the chaos as possible - his anxiety couldn't handle it. This often resulted in him acting out in premature self-defense and hostility.

This behavior was put to the test, though. During the night before his disappearance, Cole stumbled across Erin in The Ditch. Bad blood, strong desire in being alone, and the boiling courage to confront Erin culminated into an eerie standoff. There in the mushroom they once shared and called home, the two stared at one another, as if to find answers in their mutually stern eyes. After some talk, Cole requested for Erin to drop her weapon: canon death. As Erin's primary weapon, Cole removed his armor to prove weakness and seriousness. After some hesitation, Erin caved and gave him her Netherite axe. Cole returned the favor by giving her Full Disclosure, then vanished into the night.

Divine Intervention
After nearly a month, Cole reemerged to the main area of the Divine SMP. With Alexa, the two went to the Nether to enact their plot to turn the tides of power. As a testament to the truth, Cole prepared a speech, and he and Alexa came together to devise a plan to kill Divine - Divine Intervention. Thus, Colexa was born.

The End
The third trial to accuse someone guilty of burning the Community House, the setting for Divine Intervention, someone set Cierra's property ablaze. While Alexa eventually came forward for arson against the Community House, no one came forward on the tragedy against Cierra. This sent seven members to rise above the rest and state their leave.

After many goodbyes, a final confrontation with Erin, and justice against a corrupt court system, Cole and six others entered The End and left the Divine SMP.
