Colt Rivers

Colt Rivers is the main protagonist of the first season of The University.

Personality
Colt is literally sarcastic in everything he does. He can be a huge dick at times, and hardly takes things seriously. If he feels something cannot become accomplished, he will give up quickly. He feels things that happen to him are simply a series of strange cooincidences that have no relavance to his life whatsoever.

His smart mouth and "whatever" attitude often gets him in trouble. This eventually leads to his kidnapping by the hands of Emilio Earhart (as seen in S1,E8: The Trouble with Finales).

Melvin Sneedly
Melvin Sneedly can be considered by some to be Colt's best friend, as he was the very first person Colt met at ESTD. Colt often makes fun of him, especially for being such a nerd. Despite this, the two find themselves hanging out with eachother without the rest of the gang quite often.

Brigitte Flowers
Brigitte was Colt's first crush at ESTD, and the main story arch of season one. The two have a very complicated relationship with eachother throughout the series. In the beginning, Colt would try anything to win the attention of Brigitte, even going so far as to enter a man pagent despite his father's wishes (as seen in S1,E4: The Trouble with Talent). After Colt rescues her from the clutches of Rem, Brigitte finally allows him to ask her on a date. This joy of being together is short lived, as Colt realizes he has no real feelings for her on their date. In the end however, Brigitte returns the favor and rescues him from kidnapping. It is assumed the two got married (as seen in S1,E9: The Trouble with Finales II).

Thomas Walters
Colt begins meeting with local councilor Thomas Walters after stealing the "ESTD Man of the Year" trophy when he lost (as seen in S1,E4: The Trouble with Talent). Colt feels that anything Thomas says is completley irrelevant, and talks behind his back often. However, when Thomas begins having relationship problems with his wife, the two become somewhat of friends, and even switch roles as Colt councils him.



Trivia
