APPEARANCE
![](https://i.imgur.com/ELzH99r.png)
At a height of six foot six inches and a mass to match it, this hunk of a man is nothing but a piece of masculinely art. Well, depends on who you asked anyway. Lean, mean, and fighting machine, Colton has spent his life bulking up his body and keeping himself in peak physical condition. And, it shows.
Colton has amber eyes with a long scar over his left eye. Long brown hair claims his head, reaching just past his shoulders. However, the sides of his head are often shaved to give him a clean look though occasionally he lets it go out. He also sports a jaw beard, keeping himself well trimmed. Colton has a large tattoo of feathers wings that covers most of his back, shoulders, and runs down both his thick arms.
Attire is rather simple as well. If not wearing a dark muscle shirt and dark slimming work out sweatpants, a casual slim v-neck shirt and a pair a dark blue skin tight jeans are his alternatives. Shoes are nothing fancy either, just a pair of dark sneakers.

HISTORY
!! TRIGGER WARNING !!

please read at your own risk
Colton was born in the dazzling metropolis of art and artifice known at Lumiose City, the heart of the Kalos Region. He is only one of seven children born in the King family, Colt being one of the younger middle children of them all. Although his family wasn’t fabulously wealthy by any means, the family did own a small dojo passed down from generation from generation that was used to help other pokemon handlers train their pokemon. As one could imagine, raising all seven children was no small feat and each of them was expected to take over the dojo one day as a big ‘happy’ family.
Being one of the younger middle children of the King family left Colt feeling as though he was nothing more than another free working body for the dojo, then an actual family member. Needless to say, this didn’t diminish his drive to work hard and attempt to be better than his own six other siblings. Most of Colton’s life was actually pretty normal compared to most. When not attending public school, he was forced to work in the family dojo and even tried to start his ‘own dojo’ when he was a young teen in school. Of course, this didn’t go over well with both the school and his parents. It got shut down really quick.
Speaking of parents, Colton’s memories of his parents are one sided. His mother never seemed to be around much throughout his life, only on ‘special occasions’ in which Colt never really understood other than to add another kin to the King family. But for now, the young boy live, worked, and breath dojo. And as expected, Colt developed a strong liking or bond to fighting type pokemon or pokemon with a human-like nature. His father was a very disciplined man to say the least, working his children to the bone and not allowing stubbornness of any kind. Any children who refused to work or learn, when hungry. Period. Let’s say, Colt’s father was not a ‘proper father figure’ by any means.
Years passed by and when Colt reached young adulthood, the young man went on his own path. Much like many of his age, Colt gained his first ever starter and trained day in and day out to beat the gym leaders. Several years passed by, Colt in his twenties by the time he beat the elite four but never strong enough to defeat the Champion. However, Colt did manage to become a gym leader himself and ran his gym successfully for several years. He did manage to get married, even have a boy of his own. But, this was where everything changed.
A few years into the marriage, his wife left him for reasons he still to this day never understood. She even took his only son with her, leaving him with nothing and a broken heart. This sent Colt into a deep dark depression, finding solace in over drinking to forget and getting drunk almost every night. Being a drunk didn’t help his gym status though, soon losing his gym leader title. With nothing left, Colton nearly drank himself to death. Yes, almost literally.
Waking up in the hospital was what drove him to change, kind of. His son balling his eyes out and pleading for his father to get better really changed him. He never wanted this to happen. Not only did the man lose his the rights to his family dojo by disappointing his father and family, he lost his wife his, son, and gym leader status he worked so hard to obtain. And thus, Colton promised his boy he would change and come back for him one day. Daddy will be a better person from his day forward. Colton moved away to a place called Shula, hoping to ‘start over’ and prove he was better than what he was before. However, having an occasional drink never hurt.
* side note: I lelt some parts vague like parents, siblings, spouse, and child in case anyone was interested in being a part of his history.
