*step into the spotlight,
» FULL NAME: Lane Reid Cohen
» NICKNAMES: N/A
» AGE/BIRTHDAY: 17, October 17th
» GENDER: Male
» ORIENTATION: Straight
» CANON OR ORIGINAL: Canon
» GROUP/GRADE: Junior

*let them see who you are,
» HAIR:Lane’s blonde hair is generally kept in a shaggier style, sometimes growing even longer than that if he neglects to go get it trimmed.
» EYES: Lane’s got a pretty pair of average grey, almond shaped eyes. Nothing super exciting about them, though he did notice they seem to lighten when he laughs a lot.
» HEIGHT/WEIGHT: With a height of 6’0” and weight of a hundred and sixty five pounds, Lane considers himself an averagely sized teenage boy.
» DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: Lane has a few tattoos on his body. He has a cross on the right side of his chest, just below his collarbone. He also has another tattoo of two small hearts on the underside of his right wrist, something that he got in memory of his sister. To top it all off, he has a final tattoo that says “What Goes Around, Comes Around” on his right shoulder, because it’s probably the truest saying in the world to him.
» STYLE: Lane tends to have a good fashion sense, though most often he’s likely seen with his shirt off for some reason or another. In any case, Lane will generally just wear jeans for pants choice, but he does know how to dress up when the occasion calls for it.
» OVERALL:
Quite frankly, there’s nothing super special about Lane as far as looks go. Sure, he’s got a nice build. He has the height and muscle that can win him the girls, but other than that he isn’t super amazing. Lane makes sure to keep his muscles up partially for his sports and partially for the girls, and has promised himself to maintain his six pack throughout his life. His skin is pale, though during football and the summer Lane likes to get a nice tan. His face is pretty normal, and he has a strong and jaw with a cleft chin that isn’t super noticeable, but it’s there. Lane keeps the scruff on his face off, because he personally prefers to be without it. Lane also holds himself in pretty proper posture, because he feels like it makes him appear both taller and more self assured.

» SECRETS:
-Just six months prior to his seventeenth birthday, he picked up his little sister from her dance class at the request of his parents. It was rainy out, so the roads were slippery, but Lane didn’t think it was a big deal. At least, until he got involved in a four car wreck that left him unscathed but killed his sister, who was sitting in the back seat.
-Lane was involved in a pregnancy scandal, though that might not be a complete secret because what secret stays a secret at Belmont? It just doesn’t happen. After the scare, however, Lane has tried to put himself off of having too many one night stands.
-Part of the reason why Lane works so hard now is because he wants to be a doctor. He thinks it’ll “atone for his sins”, so to speak. Even though he isn’t religious at all, Lane just wants the guilty feeling to go away.

» GOALS:
-Lane wants to get away from New York City, because he feels like every time someone sees him and says something that they’re muttering about him, and how he “murdered” his little sister.
-Pass school with a high GPA and get accepted to an Ivy League school, maybe go into medicine.
-To find happiness

» OVERALL PERSONALITY:
Once upon a time, it could easily be said that Lane Reid Cohen was the happiest guy on the planet. He had it all, and he knew it. Lane knew that his parents had money, and for that he sort of held himself in a manner of belief that he was better than quite a few people he knew, but he always kept that feeling to himself. He never let people knew of his arrogance, or the fact that sometimes he looked down at them. Lane also knew that he was a popular guy; after all, girls practically threw themselves at him at all the parties he enjoyed going to. Lane had a lot going for him, and he even had smarts in school to give himself a nice little rounded circle that consisted of school, being popular, and living his life however he wanted. That all changed, however, when he got in the accident that caused his sister her life.

After that, Lane grew to be a bit more reserved and serious. His social happy go lucky persona was partially erased, and in the place of that was a harder working young man who had grown to think of the world as a horrible place. Lane’s aspect of life had changed drastically from what he thought it was. Now Lane was much more unsympathetic towards people, especially when they gushed about how “they had to walk to school and it was a whole mile” and stuff like that. He finds complaining to be ridiculous, and hates listening to it. He hates when people think they’ll get on his good side if they act dumb and cute, or if they try to impress him. It annoys him to no end.

Though despite the fact that Lane did grow to be more reserved and serious, he still held up portions of his personality from before the accident. His love for sports never changed, and he didn’t stop with his never ending flirting. He still loves driving too, though he’s quite a bit more paranoid if someone else is behind the wheel, and refuses to drive anyone anywhere. Lane dislikes opening up about his life as well, so he can proudly say that not many people know his feelings about things that have happened to him.

» HISTORY:
Born into a wonderfully happy little family on October 17th, Lane grew up as a spoiled “perfect” little boy who had the whole world in the palm of his hands. Lane spent tremendous amounts of time with both of his parents, and seeing as his mom was a psychiatrist it’s not really a wonder why. She always strongly believed in the philosophy that children who grew up spending time with their parents were much more manageable, especially in their teenage years. That was why one would often easily find Lane trailing after his daddy in the garage, a baseball cap sitting backwards on his head and various tools in his hands that would be offered up whenever his father desired them. Or he could be found playing some game with his mother, whichever worked. As a child, Lane loved doing anything with his parents, and was most definitely more than willing to hang out with them.

Thanks to the fact that he grew up with a football coach for a father, it’s no wonder why Lane developed a love for the sport. When he was little, he demanded to be put into football, and his parents most definitely weren’t going to deny him that request. Daddy dearest enrolled Lane into football, and it wasn’t long before Lane was a proud fullback on the team. He quickly made friends with most of the guys, because he just had a generally happy and outgoing personality, but Lane’s best friend was definitely Shane Moore. The two were just like brothers; rough housing with each other and playing together, right from the start. It’s no wonder, too, what with the fact that both of their parents had rather similar jobs and got along well.

The older Lane grew, the more he liked to experience things and be thrust into the popularity spotlight at Belmont. When he started as a freshman, Lane sort of made it his own personal goal to kick major butt on the football team with Shane, because he knew together they could both easily be total lady killers. Long story short, their attempts were successful and from there on Lane considered himself to be quite the popular guy. He grew to enjoy parties and drinking a bit more, though Lane would never let himself get completely drunk. He always managed to stop himself just before it was too much. At the parties, Lane generally used his charm to flirt with girls quite a bit, and enjoyed every single minute of it. Just when Lane thought life couldn’t get any better, suddenly it took a turn for the worst.

It started simple enough. All he had to do was drive to his sister’s dance class, pick her up, and then go home for dinner. So what if it was raining? Rain wasn’t going to hurt anything, or at least that’s what Lane had thought. He picked up his sister with no problem, but about ten minutes away from their house Lane had turned a corner too fast and had gone skidding across the road, overcorrecting and landing them smack dab in the middle of oncoming traffic. A car smashed into theirs and Lane blacked out. The next time he awoke, he was in a hospital gown with a few bandages here and there. He had gotten a slight concussion, but it didn’t take him long to find out that his sister had been killed in the crash. After that, Lane had sort of been completely unsure what to do. That was when he’d went on a danger spree, and had gotten himself in several situations that just so happened to make his life worse instead of better.

Other than nearly getting arrested for a DUI, Lane began to progressively have more and more one night stands. He flirted and chatted and got the girls into bed with him easily. Well, apparently one night Lane had been too careless. In trying to just enjoy himself and have a good time, he’d gotten his life momentarily twisted upside down by the fact that the girl he’d slept with, - - Walsh, had come to him one day crying about the fact she was pregnant. Lane had nearly lost his head, but thankfully enough it was just a false alarm. The scare, roughly two months after the accident, was enough to snap Lane back into his senses for the most part. Though he still holds a darker view on life now, he quit the reckless behavior and tried to refocus his time back on school and sports, just like it had been before.
