Hairstyle: Kept in a short bowlcut, VERY TIDY/NO COWLICKS (this is his Defining Tell Apart from his brothers)
Eyes: Dark brown and beady - his irises are smaller than average (the other tell apart)
Clothing: Lots of button ups (even when he wears a hoodie), lots of green, lots of plaid patterns. He does NOT have his signature green hoodie in Ryslig (yet) because he wasn't wearing it when he arrived and yet I draw him in it anyway... Fond of sweaters/vests. When working he usually rolls his sleeves up and wears a half apron.
Scars: His torso is covered in these from the November 2016 event, ESPECIALLY his back. His face is mostly free but only because he wasn't part of the blob. "mostly" in case I change my mind
Other Defining Traits: In his own words, his mouth looks like へ. Unless he's smiling. Then it's an upside down へ. Or a triangle. Since becoming a Pooka it looks more like a W when smiling. Even if your character won't notice it, he will still acknowledge it and likely refer to it as such. (It's also why all his emotes on the network have V mouths) He also has a mark under his collarbone from the Fourth God. More on that in the god section.
Voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya. If you've heard his take on Itoshiki-sensei from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (you know, "Internet has left me in despair" guy) it's literally exactly that voice again. He currently has no English equivalent.
Choromatsu has the above symbol a little below his collar bone as a result of his alignment to the Fourth God. It glows faintly, but not enough to be seen through clothing.
He is also currently only tier one. He has a room in the arcade (that he's yet to really use but is not above fleeing to when he wants to avoid his brothers), and the following spell:
Choromatsu can make himself and up to two other people close to him almost completely transparent for up to 5 minutes, once a day. This is meant to be used as a way to sneak around or to flee more easily if he has to.
Note that Choromatsu will have seasonal variants, so things like his fur colour and other details can be found in the next comment
Rabbit ears - Long, upright rabbit ears. They are expressive and move with his emotions i.e. pinning down when he's sad or going straight up when he's surprised. At times he will pull them back and tie them together with a green ribbon, mostly if he wants them out of way or wishes to hide them.
Squirrel tail - Long and fluffy, curled at the end. A lot more like a "cartoony" squirrel's than a real one because he's a self aware anime character and those are funner to draw anyway, don't judge me I like my floof. Like his ears, it also reacts to his emotions.
Fur - Soft fur all over most of his body, including shoulders, arms, back, hands and legs. The only parts without fur are: face, neck, chest, stomach, undersides of arms, palms, and lower back (though this can change in the winter). The colour of the fur changes with the season, but usually matches his human hair.
Digitigrade legs - Completely covered in fur.
Claws on hands and feet - Black during all seasons.
Weird spindly squirrel hands - Seriously have you looked at those fuckers.
Shorter stature - He is now 4'0 tall (when excluding the additional height of his ears, which puts him more in the 4'8 - 4'10 range)
Note: his eyes are neither of the optional pooka colours. They have reverted back to their original dark brown colour after being yellow as a werebear.
Ears: salt and pepper grey/white with beige/white insides. The tips stay black though.
Hair: PREMATURE GREYING AT AN ALARMING RATE but the tips are still dark so it's kinda ombre-- I can't believe I just described a matsu's hair as being ombre
Tail: more of that salt and pepper grey look. The tan underside starts turning white and looks beige-ish
All other fur: grey/white/black
He begins growing a lot more fur, including the start of a fluffy "mane" around his neck.
This is probably the best way to imagine the look of his coat, but there's no direct inspiration for it.
Note: this form is being mostly skipped (or at least significantly shortened ) for 2017 so I can still have him be his summer look for a while (since he JUST changed). He'll start doing this more properly come 2018.
Winter
Ears: pure white inside and out with black tips
Hair: white, save for the tips which, like his ears, have remained black
Tail: completely white
All other fur: white, with beige on his fingers and feet where the tan had been. Some black tips are present on his neck fur.
Fur coat is a lot thicker.
SUPER fluffy. Like the floofiest you can imagine. Especially around his neck, where the "mane" is now full and covering the whole thing like a scarf.
Skin's a little paler, just to help blend in with all the white.
Bold indicates part of a mandatory change. Strikethroughs indicates the ability has not been gained yet but will soon.
Increased senses/Enhanced hearing - I'm giving him both the scent tracking and the vision thing. Basically all his heightened werebear senses are even better now??
Stronger legs - HE KICK!!!! (enjoy your broken bones)
Travel form - Probably going to be a rabbit, I'll come back to this
Tracking - Can mark up to 10 people or object to track. He can mark them by "chinning", a rabbit behavior for marking territory (though it'll only be a tracking mark if he wants to be tracking it, consciously or subconsciously. He can still "chin" things and not track them basically) They fade after a while so he's gotta chin them again.
Transformation - Can change his appearance to mimic anyone else's, but cannot lose his pooka traits or gain additional functioning limbs.
Bold indicates part of a mandatory change. Strikethroughs indicates the change has not been gained yet but will soon.
These are all showing up a bit more gradually (save for the human feeding because he's been doing that already)
A need to feed on human blood and bone marrow - Chew them bones.
Burrowing instinct - He gonna make a whole prairie dog town under his house eventually just watch.
Skilled at lying, but oath bound
A need for social contact - Is probably gonna manifest in a lot of physical affection I'm sorry (but have you looked at rodents and rabbits when they're affectionate holy shit???)
Rabbit behavioral compulsions - These include: rubbing his chin on things he likes/wants to mark as his territory (known as "chinning"), thumping when angry, wiggling his nose, "honking" when REALLY happy etc.
Compulsion to "jump-yip" (and some other prairie dog stuff too) - DON'T WORRY BROTHERS HE IS ON GUARD (no one can stop me from doing this NO ONE)
Idk man probably a bunch of dumb rabbit/rodent shit eventually b/c I love this shit
Don't know yet if I'm gonna bother with thrill seeking and vindictive nature yet, we'll see (he's already pretty vindictive when he wants to be lol)
Only a couple of behavioral things. (Because you can't just magically undo in one night what a year as a bear did to your psyche)
Mama bear instinct - Protective urges towards his kin. It's a lot less intense than it was as a bear but there's still lingerings of that protectiveness there, especially since he has a strong need for social contact now and his kin is his primary source of that.
Compulsion to bury kills - Mostly now goes in hand with his burrowing instinct and his desire for bones. Now he can dig up bones for later!
Lingering territorial instinct - He'll get over it eventually but for a while he'll still side eye anyone that enters his house... and also do a lot of chinning lmao.
Some remaining knowledge of plants - Mostly just which ones are safe and which ones are poisonous.
Sleep schedule - He's no longer nocturnal but his sleep schedule will take time to readjust.
Aversion to silver - Not exactly a holdover but after being weak to it for a year he's still going to avoid it for a while.
