Personality:
Cool and calm, just like the water types he trains, Cress is not the type of person to get worked up easily. He is very patient and willing to work through most situations diligently. Through the most frustrating ordeals, he’ll almost always remain composed, outwardly at least. There are ways to easily push his buttons though. One of these ways happens to be messing with or picking on his brothers. While they may fight sometimes, there is nothing that Cress cares about more than his brothers. He would, without a doubt, go to the ends of the earth and back for them.
Cress has a slight streak of arrogance as well, given that he tends to brag about his Pok?mon quite a bit. He’s rather proud of them, especially his Simipour. The only thing that beats out his love for his Pok?mon is his love for his brothers. That being said, it isn’t by a very large margin. There are times when he wants some peace and quiet more than anything. Those are the times that he would rather spend with his Pok?mon. They are, needless to say, much more quiet and relaxed than his brothers can be at times. The quiet and relaxed bit is one of the main reasons that he favors water Pok?mon so much. They tend to be much more elegant, at least in his opinion, than others as well.
When he does get mad, its not a good sight to be seen. Cress goes through stages when it comes to annoyance and anger. At first, he’ll put up with it. This stage lasts the longest, and is the hardest to get past if your goal is to get him angry. After that comes the polite annoyance stage, where he’ll be annoyed enough to ask you to stop what you’re doing, but still polite about it. After that comes the actual angry stage and it is not a pretty sight. There’s lots of yelling involved. The few people that have seen this rare spectacle will tell you that its rather scary, given the fact that Cress is the last person that many would expect to get angry. Its very rare that Cress actually gets to this level of anger though. The last time that that happened was over a year ago, during a rather nasty fight with his siblings.
He’s a rather cheery fellow as well, given that he gets to do what he loves every day. His emotions aren’t as vibrant and as well expressed as others. While at work though, a small smile can nearly always be seen on his face. Even though he’s no longer a gym leader, battling is still something he enjoys very much, regardless of whether he wins or losses. Aside from battling, he loves baking as well. Over the years he’s become very good at it.
Apart from all of that, Cress rather enjoys being alone on occasion. The restaurant can be rather hectic at times and even though he loves his work, everyone needs a break now and again. One of his favorite past times when he isn’t battling or working the cafe is sitting down and reading a good book. Often times his Pok?mon will join him, almost demanding that their trainer reads out loud to them. He always complies, as it would break his heart to tell the Pok?mon that he loves so much no.
Cress is very well spoken as well, often times adding an elegant flare to his speech. He enjoys talking to others quite a bit, especially customers that have rather interesting stories to share. He’s very personable, as one has to be when they interact with numerous people everyday. If it isn’t a busy day, sometimes he’ll have rather lengthy conversations with the customers. He’s more of the type to listen and add his own opinions into the mix after whoever he was talking to is done talking. As would be expected, he finds interrupting people to be very rude and rarely ever does it. This rule doesn’t apply to his brothers though. If he thinks that they are saying or doing something stupid, Cress won’t hesitate to point it out.
He is very diligent about his work as well, and is rarely ever one to slack off. On days that he is terribly sick, his brothers have to force him to stay home. Even then, sometimes he’ll show up at work and have to be told to go away so that he doesn’t get anyone else sick. On these days, Cress usually spends his time being mildly depressed about not being able to help around the cafe. His mild case of depression usually goes away as soon as he is better though.
Backstory:
Cress grew up with his parents and brothers. For the most part it was a rather normal life. There were fights between the three of them, as there are between most siblings. For the most part, they consisted of largely trivial, silly things. Grudges would rarely be held. In an hour or two after the fight, everyone involved would be forgive. Of course, there were sometimes grudges held for a few days at a time, but those were few and far between.
At a rather young age, Cress, along with his brothers, discovered that they had a natural affinity for two things. The first was Pok?mon. This was discovered when Cress was presented with a Panpour, who he immediately became very attached to. The second was cooking. For a while he was torn about which path to pursue. An opportunity presented itself to the siblings on day in the form of a gym that doubled as a restaurant. It was everything that his little heart could desire.
From that point onward, the three brothers led a rather happy life as the first gym leaders in the region. Sometimes they would win against challengers and sometimes they would lose. Everything was all well and good until one day when the Shadow Triad showed up rather unexpectedly and challenged all three of the brothers to a battle. They were defeated. This defeat made them realize that they only made a whole trainer when all three of them were together. After much discussion, they gave up their titles as gym leaders and focused on training. That brings us to today, where Cress and his brothers still run the cafe and still take on challengers, but no longer as a gym leader
Appearance: [X] Cress stands at a rather average 5’9. His blue hair is constantly swept over one eye. He’s rather averagely built as well, not being too skinny but certainly not being over weight. His eyes are a blue color, one that matches his hair pretty well.
