"This is a fascinating case you've presented me with... Leave it with me!"

- Anthony to a client

Anthony Cole is one of the Elite Seven, and a consulting detective on the Psychic School Islands. From a very young age, he always showed signs of high intelligence and an ability to control technology. After a rising crime rate involving psychics, normal police and detectives couldn't keep up, so he took it upon himself to crack those cases.

Appearance
Anthony has short black hair and amber eyes. His eyesight isn't the best, and so needs to wear glasses. He's always wearing formal clothing, and when on cases, gloves that won't disturb the evidence or leave his finger prints.

He suffers from eczema, but is thankful it's nearly all gone. He only has a small bit of it left, and it happens to be a bit of a rash on his left cheek.

Personality
Anthony is a very helpful sort, and will listen to anybody with a case. When on a case, he can become quite energetic about it, and put everything he has into solving it, and leave others behind when he's on a lead. He uses his great intellect, and logical and creative thinking to get around any problem he encounters, and in practical situations, he uses his power over technology to great effect.

He's very keen when it comes to keeping up with current affairs around the world, from celebrity lives, to conflicts, to science, if it's current, it's relevant to him. This information not only helps him with links in cases, as well as finding cases to begin with, but also in conversing with people.

Anthony can be socially awkward in situations not involved in a case, such as typical social settings among fellow students. He manages to pull through by using his knowledge to help with conversations though, surprising some students with knowledge like the latest football match scores. He becomes very eccentric around technology, and especially around really advanced technology.

Anthony really dislikes the notion of making mistakes, and when he does make a mistake, no matter how small, he's likely to beat himself up over it.

Background
From a very young age, Anthony showed signs of high intelligence. Even at the age of three, he loved to tinker with technology, and it wasn't until five that his parents realized it was a little more than tinkering. He was actually manipulating technology with his mind. By ten, Anthony was an star student at his school, and was designing and building complex electronics circuits in his free time.

As he moved into High School, psychics were starting to appear more prominently. He took great interest in the news, especially the stories and articles about psychics involved in crime, and sometimes special articles and books about crimes the police simply couldn't solve. He figured it would likely be because psionics was involved. He somehow managed to get a hold of some of these unsolved cases, and using his great intellect and investigative skills, managed to piece together the culprit and the flow of events.

Thankfully, the Psychic School Islands had just been founded by Lumi, and that gave Anthony the confidence to send, anonymously, his reports on those cases to the police, and he kept this up for a few years. Also in those years, he taught himself how to program, and trained his powers and mind. When he was fifteen, he convinced his parents to let him go to the Psychic School Islands. After a long discussion, they agreed, but they couldn't just leaves their lives for it. Anthony agreed to go by himself. It was a little tough a first, living on his own, but he managed it, and built up his name and career as a consulting detective there.

Now he's a consulting detective on the Psychic School Islands, and an inventor when he wants to be.

Powers
Anthony's powers are all about the intelligence, the thought, and the inventions. There's no power at all here, unless it's in an invention. Some people call him the polar opposite to fellow Elite Seven member, Lucia. There isn't a trick he won't miss, an invention he can't make, or a case he can't solve.
