He usually stands with a formal posture, and wears simple, well-kept cloths. He very rarely shows emotions. He has more tanned skin that what one might expect from the scientific sort; and short, black hair.[/indent] [sub][color=4C949C][b]Personality[/b][/color][/sub][indent] At first impression, Colton comes off as a cold, uncaring person, almost to the point where one might assume he is a sociopath. And if you did assume that, you wouldn't be that far off. He has somewhat of a scientific mindset, spending a lot of time so observe his surroundings and how objects, pokemon, and people react; and then simplifying his observations into logical conclusions. Or at least, that's what Colton would tell you. While the above statement isn't entirely inaccurate, he does have a bigger soft side than he is willing to let on. He is easily startled, and does not like showing traits he sees as "week", which is a broad and poorly defined list. He doesn't like showing emotion and pretends to see pokemon as tools, a facade that shamelessly melts when he is around is Eevee.[/indent] [sub][color=4C949C][b]Background[/b][/color][/sub][indent]Colton is an orphan, hence is lack of a last name. He doesn't know who is parents are, and since he was never adopted it stunted his emotional growth. His orphanage in Orre was destroyed an incident he is pretty sure is related to Cipher, and because of that he is quick to blame the Cipher organization on a lot of his life problems. He never moved out of Orre, mostly because he never had the money, but partially because of a secret, underlying desire to "get back" at the Cipher organization, something he would never admit. When Colton heard about Krane's research (and the fact that Krane was going against Cipher, intentionally or not), he grew interested and decided to join, and once he was accepted he acquired his first Pokemon, Eevee. Krane was skeptical about hiring Colton, but Colton's scientific mindset convinced Krane to give Colton a shot, since that might help with the gathering of data.[/indent] [color=DEDEDE][sub][ ❇ ] M I S C E L L A N E O U S[/sub][/color][hr][sub][color=4C949C][b]Items on Hand[/b][/color][/sub][indent] Five Pokeballs, and a notebook for gathering data.[/indent] [sub][color=ffcc03][b]Pokébelt[/b][/color][/sub][indent] [hider=Light] Name: Light Species: Eevee Ability: Adaptability Moves: Quick Attack, Tail Whip [/hider] [/indent] [sub][color=4C949C][b]Personal Computer[/b][/color][/sub][indent] None, yet.[/indent][/color] [/hider] This is an incomplete first draft obviously, and I am welcome to and greatly encourage constructive criticism. And this level of BBcode is a tad above my usual level. As a side note, with the obvious exception of my incredibly clique starter pokemon (I'm sorry, but Eevee is adorable and I don't have a good enough idea on what I am doing to pick a non-starter), can I make Colton use primarily Ice pokemon? EDIT: Final draft is done, waiting for approval.
