Nickname: Corey, Hyde-man
Age: 20
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Appearance:
Corey typically has the look of a strong jock which he no doubt would have since he was one, having an appearance that he can be proud of, so he should be after how much work he put into his training and how much time he spent working out to make him the strong young man that he had grown to be. His workouts not only kept him healthy but also helped build up his strength and even develop his muscles, being rewarded with a six pack for all his work. Even when concealed with clothes, one can tell how strong he is though he doesn't brag about it.
It is the build on his body that sticks out more when observing him at a distance, but other than that is his height as he stands at a height of 6'2 making him a perfect height to have a perfect view of his surroundings which makes him quite an adversary on the field. His clothing his usually dark but he has no preference really, all depending on his purpose as he certainly wouldn't overload himself with clothes when he is off to train. He can be be described as slender, not really slim due to his build and certainly fit without question. His face is rounded with two sharp blue eyes and his hair is blond, short as long hair would only get in the way.
Personality~The Jock:
To begin with, Corbin/Corey is seen as a jock, which in itself without meeting Corin already labels him from all the stereotypes of a jock. Not that all stereotypes of a jock are bad since they are certainly popular, but there are negatives. Jocks are described as being muscular, not very smart by their only conversation being on the topics of sports, exercise or sex. They are seen as self-centered, aggressive, rude and arrogant, unintelligent, abusive, bullies to those less popular with much popularity especially among the female population which associates them automatically with losing a girl's virginity without a second thought.
Corbin however is much more respectful than that as he takes into account his background and how empathy towards others. The sterotypical jocks are no doubt such that grew in such a background, but in contrast to the stereotype, Corbin/Corey did not as he started right from the bottom before working his way upto the top. Corey certainly was popular at school and like the stereotypical jock he had a cheerleader for a girlfriend and thus made themselves the most popular couple in the school, but things were certainly not that easy, especially when Corey opposed bullying in contrast to the stereotype and such sometimes led to fights which later down the line had dropped his position on the team from Captain and in the process, his girlfriend dropped him to hook up with the new Captain.
He has his morals as he does think about others. Instead of being arrogant as boastful as others, he encourages those who want to do better and would even give his time afterall, even to those who are labelled as 'nerds', not giving a second thought of how he'd be seen at school because of it. Nevertheless, the stereotype of being muscular was true, his popularity was true and not being very smart was true, but he did his best in what he could do besides. Corey is approachable and does his best to make conversation but he's not the best conversation maker as when he runs out of things to say, it's either or talk about what he knows which is sports and exercise, once again referring to his stereotype but it could not be helped.

History:
As aforementioned, unlike the stereotypical jocks, Corey was not born a jock. Infact, his birth was more complicated, unexpected, undesired and unwanted. Why would a mother not want their own flesh and blood one may ask? but when their son was the result of some unwanted attention with their son being the product of such, such explains why. It was certainly a sad and devastating past, such that became a secret between the biological mother and his adoptive parents. In his early existence, it was debated whether to allow Corey to live with his biological mother deciding whether to have an abortion, but she could not bring herself to take a life of an innocent away, hence why she focused on getting the child adopted as soon as possible.
His adoptive father was a DI at the local police department and his adoptive mother was a Teachers' Assistant. Despite being unaware of his already troubled past, being unable to completely understand it with his innocence, he grew up as a loved child and was taken care of. As the years past, his crawl became a walk and his walk became a run that it did not take long till he was able to manage himself, something that spurred to his action as he entered school. At first he was alright and very polite, but then as the years went on, he gave into peer pressure and became quite the rascal though there probably is a better word to describe him and his antics. Sure the costs were being grounded now and then, but it was this part of his life that he was simply 'in it' to get in with the crowds, even if it got him into trouble.
It wasn't like he was totally bad or he would of been excluded, but that he preferred the company of several rather than the company of nobody and facing insults which he suffered in his younger days which had brought about his more of a 'bad boy' image he was portraying. Truth or Dare was certainly a popular game where others test your limits, even if it meant kissing another guy but truly meant nothing. Going along with the crowds certainly gained Corey a reputation which brought about his cockiness which he developed as he grew older.
He certainly was one to boast and brag and had fun with the other guys. Corey always had an interest in sports, but when his parents felt he reached a moderate age of understanding, they revealed to him his past which had been a pivotal point in his life to change, causing him to be more defensive and more focused now that he was getting older. Even while he was in his cocky days, he kept up his exercises and done them even more so now, becoming much more driven and much more helpful which led him through the end of school and into college where he continued his pursuit of sports to achieve his 'personal best' while trying to increase his 'personal best' as never know one day he could be quite the athlete and get out of this 'jock' image he had gathered, which he was starting to get out of touch of, but yet he retained his reputation as one despite his change.
However, Corey wasn't the brightest bulb which leads to his light dimming quite a bit, especially when a girl was showing affection which he could hardly deny when he was single and that the girl was pretty. In his experience though, he has learnt that there is more to a person than meets the eye. When the cheerleader dated him when he was captain, she was merely after her popularity which came first, hence why he tries to look at people in a different light, for those who were actually human, actually genuine but it was hard. Sure his training had been his own pursuit to get stronger and pursue his love for sports, but in doing so he only brought more attention to his first, his abs being hard to hide when you are playing the game with such on show when you could not keep your shirt on anymore.
Anyhow, it was certainly a relief when he finished college, but with being captain and being cheerleader no longer the big thing, each went their different ways while Corey focused on what he should do next. Afterall, he wasn't very smart but he did not know about sports and exercise, which is what brought him to a new gym that was opening in New York which gave him the perfect opportunity to keep up with his training and encouraging people as he liked to do. The only missing part to this was a place to stay, and as if by fate an advertisement for cheap rooms had come to his attention which he immediately responded to, grabbing his gear and making his way down to start his dream. Sure he'd be sharing with others, though that didn't bother him as he wouldn't be alone then, but it did make him wonder what sort of people he'd be around...
