Character Details

Socks is a pokemon that was trapped in a Masterball in a lab for 1000 years. Met Derek and joined Team Brightstone relatively recently before being sent in the Academy after following Derek to the portal. Arriving in the academy seemingly restored their memories. Originating from the human era, Socks has extensive knowledge of human culture, but their hisssstory with said species made them gain a great distrust and dislike of said species. Despite that, they love certain human inventions, such as soda. But is afraid of anything that can remotely be used for harm without proper knowledge.

RP Information

Can often be paradoxical in behavior. An "optimistic" nihilist prone to existential dread. Hides many secrets, while they don't hide their secretive nature, they often ask others to not to share information they told them even if it seems trivial, as they prefer having a grasp of what info about themselves gets known by others and when.

Skills and Abilities

Can make cloth related accessories/items! (Nothing too big or crazy, and only for aesthetics purposes..for now.) Makes them hungry afterwards. Making horrid puns and jokes. Change disguise into different mons or things, typically with a plush look. Can make substitutes that also are plush version of other things. Great control of their own physical amorphous body. Extensive knowledge of anatomy and biology.
