[tab-class=profile-info][tabsection][tabs] [tab=Appearance] ![]() Starting from the top, Criss bears a beautifully natural assortment of light colored hair. A combination of faint blonde, amber and light brown add for a wonderful blend of colors that suit the rest of his physique and personality perfectly. While generally preferring to keep it short, he is most often seen with it at medium length, with his bangs almost framing the sides of his face. He doesn't have any particular method of fashioning or styling it. Instead, he prefers to just leave it as is; the only effort he puts in to it is the occasional hair shake and flip, accompanied by a single hand stroke to make it look a bit better, in addition to ensuring that he can see. Moving to the rest of his face, one would notice a few, very small and faded, scratches. The most prevailing things, however, are most certainly his eyes. A luminescent hue of bright green fill the two orbs, giving off an impressive contrast to the rest of his facial features. Along with their attentive color, they are quite sharp and almost have that piercing effect to them. That isn't to say that they overpower the rest. No, in fact, he has quite the charming smile, which many would comment on being among his best traits. This smile of his is generally complacent as the default look of his. In those events where it is not, a small, humble neutral expression resides in its' stead. In reference to his general body structure, this young man sports a well toned athletic body, a result from his daily training over the course of several years. In addition to this, he is also surprisingly graceful in his movements, not letting a single motion get wasted. Unless on the rare occasion he is doing so intentionally or for dramatic effect. However, most of the time these motions of his go largely unnoticed in every day life. On most any given day, Criss can always be found with a calm and cheerful demeanor suspended in the air around him. That is only true for when he is only below his average temperament; other times, he would be found with an even merrier mood, which somehow projects itself in everything that he does and can often times be quite contagious. On a slightly alternate train of thought, it would be noticed, especially those who are around him for any given length of time, that he has a wonderful, quite soothing aroma about him, faintly reminiscent of strawberries and flowers. Criss, while not an overly zealous about looks, does try to keep himself looking presentable, in a formal-casual sense of the idea. He wears a white collared, v-neck button down as the first layer of his upper body clothing. It looks to be snug against this skin, though it still is loose enough to allow unrestricted movement and designed for comfort. Generally speaking, he keeps the sleeves of this shirt rolled up to at little past his elbow, leaving his forearms bare. Above this layer, he wears another small piece of clothing: a vest. This black vest fits perfectly with the pattern of the v-neck shirt beneath it, causing a pleasing fit and appealing visual image. At his waist there is something of an irregular garment that most people don't really see often. Attached to his waist by a golden sash, a moderate sized piece of clothe hangs down around the rest of his legs, possibly akin to the same fashion a cape from the waist down would. This fabric is unique, crafted for him by his mother. Soft to the touch, it is also faintly patterned with branches and leaves of a sakura blossom, though it is not generally noticed unless it is being closely examined. The color starts as a rich purple around his waist, then gently fades until it becomes soft pink in color. The reasoning behind the use is more of a semantic reason, than a practical one, though it still leaves any body movement unhindered, which is something that he values. Beneath that, the rest of his lower body is rather simple. A pair of pitch black slacks, similar in coloring to the vest, covers the entire length of his legs. In addition to the rest of his ensemble, it also is very snug around his figure, while still retaining the desired movability and comfort. Despite the thin appearance of the fabric on all of the clothing he wears, they are very well insulated and help to retain body heat in cold conditions. Black gloves, of like coloring to the rest of his dark clothing, are rightfully positioned on the both of his hands. The dark material covers the palms of both hands and ceases at the knuckles of each finger, leaving the rest of the fingers exposed for maneuverability. A bit ragged from use, it is apparent that these gloves are older than the rest of his clothing. These gloves, given to him ages ago, were a gift from his father in order to help protect his hands when he initially began practicing. Criss has kept them ever since, having an emotional attachment to them. He generally feels out of place when he is not wearing them. On his wrist, he has a little technological device that has apparently become the base device for all trainers in the region to use amongst their journeys. While Criss has a very faulty way with technology, he has attempted to work past it and has developed a rudimentary understanding of the PokéTech, enough so that he can work it competently... most of the time, anyway. When offered his choice of the device shortly before he departed his home town, he was almost overwhelmed by the sheer number of options that were available. In the end, he chose the device that had the black plating on the bulk of the device. He doesn't exactly enjoy wearing it, though acknowledges the usefulness of its' existence. To date, he still feels a bit awkward while wearing it. Among with the rest of his appearance, Criss is also notably known for carrying a small bag around; the typical accessory for trainers who attempt to travel the world and live the life of a trainer. His bag is very diverse it its use, the two straps attached to it allowing the owner to carry it handily in a numerous different ways. The bag itself is predominately colored white, already slightly faded and worn from the brief amount of traveling accomplished, accompanied by a golden lining on the edges that identifies the confines of the bag. This coloring, almost a perfect match to that of his sash, also identifies the different pockets and dividers on the bag. Of them all, Criss' bag is probably one of his most useful possessions that he carries, for a few obvious reasons and a few others that are unique to him. The bag is rather compact in size, allowing for easy transportation and a light load. The inside of the bag is surprisingly spacious than the outside of the container might suggest. There are a few objects that Criss left home with, all of which are very dear to him. A few blank notebooks, accompanied with the appropriate writing utensils, a few of the trainer standard Poké Balls, a scrapbook half full of pictures and imprinted leaves of various flowers and trees, a small pack of loose leaf paper and a small little package of letters that are bound together with twine. [/tab] [tab=Biography] Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 [/tab] [tab=Personality]Before delving into the mind of a creature, it must first be understood that there is no straight forward explanation of why particular thoughts or reasoning are demonstrated in one fashion as compared to the way a different mind works. There are, of course, a few factors that can be extracted from one's past in order to aide the understanding of some of the mind. One such factor, for example, would be the motivation or the drive behind a person's actions. This in itself could be spurned from any ones of thousands of other factors. The driving force that urges Criss forward, is both a simple concept when considered at face value, and an increasingly complicated one the further you look into it. At the surface, the answer is rather obvious: his younger brother, Sven. Once he entered Criss' life, Sven became his primary concern. Being his older brother, Criss naturally has the 'big brother' mentality with how he approaches his peers and children. From this mind set that he has molded into, it is also worth noting his maturity and his patience, both of which play an important part of how he is defined. The heavy responsibility that came along with the introduction of his brother, he was forced to 'grow up' at an alarmingly young age, which has given him an alternate view of life than most of his peers. This different view is most commonly described as being more mature, though there isn't much other reasoning behind it. It can often be said that Criss would make an outstanding teacher. His love of children is the first step and is self-explanatory. Among many of his attributes, he is patient. Patient to the point where he will do the exact same thing a thousand times if it is not understood, then attempt to alter his process in order to try and get something across. Trivial things, such as small mistakes or the confusion about an ordinary situation is of little consequence to him. In his mind, it is not the mistakes or errors that are made that matter, rather than the effort of pushing past them in order to make progression towards success. In general, Criss often outwardly presents himself as calm. There is no immediate thing about him to suggest that he might suddenly fly of the handle at the slightest insult in his direction, nor anything of that sort. In fact, it feels kind of like the opposite, as if he would laugh along with you if you were insulting him. This sensation about him is occasionally misinterpreted as uncaring or completely laid back and relaxed. While he is okay with most anything in regards to himself, he can undergo quite a drastic change depending on the subject matter. This is where the flip side of his personality comes into play. While typically a light hearted fellow, he does have a serious side. He is very protective of his friends and family, and even more so of the memories of his brother. Should he have any reason to suspect that something is insulting or about to damage or bring harm to any of those, he will forgo most anything else and direct his full attention on to the matter with the intent of ending it before anything has been started. His protective nature is not solely applicable to just those scenarios, however. In fact, he is often times seen attempting to be a hero of sorts and attempting to assist in most any situation where it might be needed, even for complete strangers. This has occasionally gotten him in trouble, though he will follow things through to the end regardless. On a more lighter note, Criss is an entirely optimistic individual. One of those who sees every opportunity as a "glass that is half full" as compared to "half empty." He is a firm believer that no matter how dire a situation may be, there is always going to be a good ending possible. Now, it isn't to say that he is blinded by that kind of naive hope. On the contrary, he is quite aware of just how bad a situation can be and how likely a bad outcome actually is. He learned this the hard way with the events that happened with Sven. It is quite possible that because of that incident, he tries to look for the best of things in just about everything. It could just as well be a delusion that has warped his entire psyche, though he wouldn't be able to tell you with absolute certainty. Just like everyone else, Criss fears things. For instance, he will freely admit that he fears death. Or, at the very least, he fears the act of it. The image of his brother, suffering in his final moments, was forever burned into his memory. If you wanted to get into specifics, it is conceivable that what he truly fears is going through a similar process, full of suffering and agony. On a related note, he also bears some truly irrational fears. The prime example of that would be spiders. Be it real spiders or spider pokemon, Criss is absolutely terrified of them. He doesn't actually have any reasoning behind it, hence the term irrational. Exceptions of that scenario are few and very far between, but not impossible. Stepping just a notch down from fears, we move along to the general things that Criss just plain dislikes. He has a strong disdain towards any cold temperature weather conditions; namely, snow. While his attire can provide a good amount of warmth for him, he just cannot stand for the chills that run up and down his spine, the shaking that courses through his body and the numbness that plagues his body in such conditions. In contrast to the specifics of the things that he truly dislikes, Criss has several things that he rather enjoys. Children are among that list, as spending time with them reminds him of the responsibilities and fun times he had with Sven as they were growing up. Pokémon are another love of his. While he did miss the entire period where most children decide that they want to spend the rest of their lives with pokemon, it doesn't mean that he never developed a passion for them. While his promise inhibits him from using Pokémon other than Karys, a restriction he is perfectly content with, it doesn't mean that he has decided to try to keep them out of his life. On a different thought, he also is a giant fan of sweets. His sweet tooth is a large part of what defines him, and it holds know complaints against most any type of candy. While most of his early life was absorbed with his brother, Criss did pick up a few hobbies in his spare time. Among these hobbies, he would include writing and drawing as among the top in his list. He always has a few spare notebooks and sketchbooks on hand, giving him ample opportunity to start writing or drawing the instant his creative inspiration begins to surge forth. His sketchbook is generally seen crammed from side to side with sketches of encountered pokemon, friends or family and the like. In his journal, he keeps an accurate day-to-day log with as much detail as possible, so that he'll always be able to treasure the events that happen. In a separate notebook, he keeps letters. A new letter is written every few days or so, each of them addressed to Sven Kalasen. While Criss knows that it may be foolish to do them, he writes the letters to help enforce the idea in his mind that he is living his life in order to pursue the dreams of his younger brother. Most beings are considered creatures of habit; a description of which Criss is not exempt. One the most persistent habits that would be noticed, is his walk with Karys that happens on a daily basis. The exact time of the walk is never the same for long, though they still attempt to keep it on their list of priorities. Often times, if walking out at night, they'll take a break and simply gaze up at the sky, bearing witness to the universe's natural beauty. Like everyone, he also has a few quirks and mannerisms that make him unique. Such as the conflict that he and technology seem to have. For some strange, unexplainable reason, he just can't figure out how to deal with technology. It's not that he doesn't understand how to operate it, no. Its just that every time he tries to do so, everything goes blank and he eventually has to resort to fumbling around with whatever it is he's trying to use until it works. There are a few exceptions, such as his PokéTech, but he still has a few issues quite frequently with the troublesome little device. Criss is very casual in his mannerism when discussing things with his peers. Everything is uttered politely, in a laid back style. When addressing people of older status or generally to new people he meets, his tone of voice and choice of words shifts ever so slightly, surprisingly making his entire mannerism more polite and formal. This is especially true for employees at certain facilities and his parents. Regardless, he always seems to be able to match his tone to the situation, creating a very good image of himself in the eyes of others. His goals in life are primarily narrowed down to a select few. Most of the ones that he pursues now were 'adopted' from his younger brother, once again returning to the sole aspect that drives this boy to keep going. With his brother in mind, Criss embarked on his journey with Karys, the Houndour that Criss had gifted to Sven while it was still an egg. His initial plans are to start by visiting the places that Sven would have wanted to see, then perhaps take on a few gyms. Criss has his own goals as well, which include roaming the region and planting the seeds of cherry blossom trees. His favorite place in the world was and still remains to be the 'secret spot' that he had discovered and taken Sven too on numerous occasions. In addition to that, he would eventually like to be able to care for pokemon, such as to work in a Pokémon Center. It's a sporadic goal, all things considered, but it is one of the tasks that he would feel he was doing a lot of good for people and Pokémon alike.
