Corrin Blake

Corrin Blake is a student, 19 years of age, at Brien Academy, being introduced and joining the group of protagonists near the beginning of the Brambly Boundaries (Monument 14) story.

His studies focus on the arts and political sciences. He’s a rather bright pupil but is often playing the role of rebel given his grudge against the establishment. Corrin was placed in Brien Academy into Student accommodations shortly after his father and only guardian figure was wrongfully convicted of murder. Thus Corrin has a severe problem with authority and see’s corruption and secrecy everywhere he goes. However his interesting ability has granted him a place in this school and with nowhere else to turn he has decided to remain here and find out all he can about the truth of Brien Academy.

Appearance
Corrin is quite a short lad, only being about 155cm tall. He has a pale complexion and his dark black hair is a complete mess, given he cuts it himself. Corrin is very skinny and all his clothes, besides his bespoke Academy uniform, are thrift shop bought, the second hand baggy items hanging off of him in a comedic fashion.

At any given moment outside of school hours Corrin can be seen wearing one of dozens of combinations of randomly selected clothing items from various different time periods and in various states of deterioration.

Personality
Corrin comes across as a distant loner; he doesn’t really hold any desire to make friends or get close to anyone. When people do talk to him however they are immediately put off by his combative personality. You see, Corrin has an obsession with the truth and the uncovering thereof, as such he doesn’t believe anything anyone tells him unless they can prove it. For example if you told him your name he would immediately ask to see some kind of identification proving that as fact.

As such Corrin struggles to trust anyone who doesn’t feel comfortable being interrogated in every conversation.

Aside from this Corrin is a self-taught amateur artist and musician, expressing himself through his creations rather than through direct communication.

Living Colour
Living Colour is Corrin’s contract; it is naturally occurring and as such has no control ratio. It takes the appearance of a small hunched over humanoid however its body is misshapen as if being perceived from multiple angles at once, much like a cubist painting. It has many multiple eyes all over its head and its hands have only three fingers each of which is made up of the bristles of a large paint brush. It is coated in a constantly swimming and changing array of colourful paints that ooze and drip off of it at all times.

Living Colour possesses the ability to perfectly recreate the memories of other creatures through the medium of painting. It can paint on any type of surface and even on thin air, allowing the contract to create illusory objects and environments from the memory of Corrin in order to trick and distract opponents, though Corrin himself is loath to use such deceptions unless absolutely necessary. By using an extreme amount of effort, Corrin can use the ability to make the memories move as they did when they occurred, and even bring in other senses from the memory such as the sounds and smells.

As previously mentioned Living Colour can paint the memories of Corrin at will however to use this ability on another individual, they must be either willing or unconscious. Furthermore, Living Colour cannot choose which memory to paint; it simply adapts the memory that is at the forefront of the targets mind at the time. Thus to use this on others Corrin must somehow get them to think of the memory in question before activating the ability.
