Though he might be a little unconventional, Colress is a skilled scientist who vows to solve the unsolvable.
His origins might not be the most normal, but Colress was still raised in a loving family – and while he was never the most social, his best friend made up for more than enough.
He always had a love of experimenting, and always wanted to find the missing link between humans and pokemon. And while the circumstances weren’t ideal, he was able to further his research while in Team Plasma, which he joined at age 18.
While Plasma wasn’t the best place, it was through his semi-independence there that he met his future wife, and later, his future husband as well.
Colress now lives with his partners in the Harmonia Mansion in Lostlorn forest, where he conducts his endless experiments and tests in the house’s secret subterranean laboratory.
Appearance
Colress is 6 feet tall, with a rather lanky build. He has light blonde hair, with an odd-looking blue ahoge swirling around his head. He has yellow eyes, and wears blue-bridged glasses.
He’s almost always seen with a labcoat on, though what he wears underneath depends on his current level of (dis)organization. Most often, he wears a black t-shirt, spotted PJ pants, and slippers.
Personality
Just like the rest of his family, Colress is… eccentric. He holds a lot of passion for his work and interests, and even though he’s normally a bit reserved, asking him the right questions will cause him to infodump endlessly.
He’s learned to stand up for himself more and be less socially awkward, thanks to Angie, and later Lune. Still, he can easily become embarrassed or flustered by compliments or affection.
While he doesn’t lack empathy, he does have a bit skewed perception of it, often feeling either hyper empathy or nothing at all depending on the person and situation.
Story
Wip!
Skills
Transformation:
- Colress is an incredibly talented shapeshifter, and can copy the form of things he’s seen with ease. Though, like most ditto, he’s left with a ‘quirk’ – that being the blue ahoge showing up in most forms.
- Biologically, Colress’s human form is indistinguishable from any other human.
- His second most common form is that of a lopunny, dubbed his ‘pokesona’.
SCIENCE:
- Biochemistry, specifically! While he’s also a very, very talented engineer, Colress is a biochemist at heart. While he might be conducting experiments of… dubious legality, he still enjoys being the one to make breakthroughs.
- He’ll often experiment on himself, and if something goes wrong, he can simply degenerate whatever limb he was working on.
- He considers his research on the link between pokemon and humans to be complete, and is now working towards investigating the true power of illusion.
Relationships
Angie
His best friend since elementary school, Angie is like a sister to Colress. He was completely devastated when she initially died, and though it was odd, was overjoyed when she was revived. He knows of the tension she has with Lune, and hopes they can sort it out amongst themselves.
Lune
He adores her, simply put. It’s almost like he’s under a spell – he never really left the puppy love stage. Lune knows exactly the right buttons to press, and Colress is all for it.
N
Loves him with all his heart. Colress feels like he could discuss things with N for hours upon hours, and even when they’re not doting over each other, they’re very efficient lab partners.
Spinch
A bit overprotective, a bit distant – since Colress is always in his lab tinkering away, he feels he could be closer considering Spinch is his child. Though Colress does like to let Spinch participate in dangerous chemistry sets, to N’s dismay – Colress’s excuse being that ‘I did it when I was their age!’.
Alexis
Colress and Alexis have a strong sibling relationship, and mostly got along growing up. Colress does tend to worry about her recklessness, though.
Ridley & Kibi
He’s not super familiar with either of them, at least not to the degree that Lune or N are. He follows and supports Ridley’s art accounts, and has been around them when with Lune or N, but aside from that isn’t close.
Ghetsis
He was naïve to Ghetsis’s true intentions, but is well aware of the horrible pain he’d caused for everyone close to him. Often feels guilty that he got out with minimal trauma.
Naoko
A friend from an online deep web forum about science of questionable ethics. The two are friends and will collaborate virtually – Naoko is one of the only people Colress trusts with his research.
Trivia
- He’s a big fan of mecha and gundam anime.
- His pokesona, Lapin, has been co-opted by his girlfriend as a mascot of sorts.
- Colress is entirely self taught, and tends to be prone to destructive lab accidents.
- He has dyscalculia, and N often helps him with mathematics.
