APPEARANCE~
*waves a hand, gesturing to himself from head to toe*
With a perpetually sleepy, dreamy expression and a tendency to stay silent, Claude looks the image of a young artist who is both searching for inspiration and at peace with the world. Standing tall at 168cm with low average weight, he has a thin, looks-as-if-he-keeps-forgetting-to-eat body with deft, gentle hands with long elegant fingers, that are calloused with constant painting practice. With smooth pale skin, sunny gold hair in a somewhat spiky haircut framing a slim face, with eyes that match the vivid color of a dark red flame, Claude can be called attractive, especially when he's either sleeping or focused on painting. He looks delicate then, fragile yet vibrant, not quite of this world. However, the ethereal look is brought closer to earth by the constant paint smeared on his face and clothes and skin, along with messy hair. Claude also has a star mark on his cheek that's constantly changing colors.
With messy hair and rumpled clothes, Claude often looks as if he'd just woken up and forgot to change out of his pyjama's. He doesn't really care what he wears, often just sticking to simple shirts, jeans and sneakers, but they will more often than not be covered in smears of paint and he will always be found carrying a pouch attached to his belt that's filled with paints, pencils, brushes, and a place for a small sketchbook.
PERSONALITY~
{Dreamy, Quiet, Easygoing, Sleepyhead}
Claude is a quiet, dreamy person who likes to sleep. He doesn't talk much, but that doesn't mean he's mute. Claude suffers from dysarthria, which means that whenever he speaks he mumbles and slurs a lot or talks too fast, making it hard to understand what he's saying. He can speak clearly if he concentrates, but as he finds it hard he tends to just focus on keeping his mouth shut and communicating via writing or hand gestures instead. While it does mean that he's a bit shy about talking with other people, it doesn't mean that Claude will avoid them. He's too easygoing for that - although he focuses on either art or sleeping and has little interest in other things, he's alright with being dragged along on an adventure by the others, or joining in himself if he thinks its fun. Claude is not an introvert, and can in fact be found painting in a corner of the room rather than on his own.
While Claude is an easygoing person is content to sleep or paint the day away, that's not all there is to him. Claude can often be found dreaming, be it about something mundane like cats or something profound, like how sweets make people happy. While he doesn't talk much, he makes up for it with other methods for talking, and he's actually rather cheerful when he's not yawning his head off thanks to staying up all night. He's normally a calm person, and keeps his cool, but even he has his limits. Claude tends to get too focused in things at times, resulting in him staying up a lot, and that in combination with insomnia tends to leave him a sleepy mess, As a result, he doesn't seem to connected to the world, often being absorbed in his own thoughts as if he hasn't quite waken up yet. This tends to make him rather oblivious to people and things, but that doesn't mean he won't notice things in front of his face. Claude does care, and although he sometimes has trouble showing it he'll do so in a serious, heartfelt manner.

[center]ABILITY/MAGIC~
"... paint."
World End Art Gallery - Claude can control paint. He can control pigment and do anything he wishes with it, provided its within reasonable bounds. He is also only able to control that which he paints or draws - Claude is only able to use his powers on anything that he has had a hand in. If he has helped create the drawing or painting, he is able to control it, but if it was completely made by someone else then his powers cannot affect it. For example, if someone made a painting of a doll Claude would not be able to control it. If he helped out, however, he can control the doll, and he can also gain control by splashing a bit of paint on it and manipulated that paint to be part of the artwork. While Claude mostly uses it to change pigment color and make his paintings look good, other applications are:
Colored Letters - Claude can use paint to make words or pictures in midair. He can also use this ability to adjust artworks, as they are made out of paint, and any letters he writes, since ink contains black pigment and can be used to paint or draw.
Paintbomb - Basically Claude gathers a large blob of paint and splash it onto the person, creating an effect similar to the waterbomb. However, unlike water, paint can be used to obscure the eyes, and he can alter its consistency to make it a gooey paint that hinders movement.
Caricature - He can make drawings and paintings come to life. However, they have no thought or free will - they are merely extensions of Claude's will, and nothing more. For example, he draws a dragon, and brings it into reality. The drawing comes off the canvas and comes to life, in an effect that is similar to 2D turning into 3D. If it was drawn in nothing more than black and white, then it will look unearthly, only black and white. If it was colored with paints or pencils, however, then the dragon will have that color in reality, with its painted scales gleaming in the light. It'll still look like a painted dragon, however. Once it is out of the painting, the dragon is then able to affect the real world. However, the real world also affects it, and as a result with enough power the dragon will also be able to be destroyed. Once its not in use it will fade, growing back onto the canvas it came from.
This is a difficult technique, depending on how much he does it. Currently, he is only able to control 3 small paintings, or one large painting.
Realism - Claude is able to turn simple objects real, such as apples or even fire. However, he is only able to turn objects real, not living people or animals, and this saps a lot of strength out of him.
[center][font=aa]LIKES~
*smiles*
Painting - if he can't be found sleeping, he can be found painting. Its' his life's passion. Part of the reason he's covered in paint is because he's constantly trying to paint.
Art - Claude loves art. He loves all its form as a result. While his true forte is painting, Claude is a good hand at drawing, and when he's not found painting in his room he can be found seated somewhere drawing stuff with pencil. Occasionally he'll mix both drawing and painting together in his works.
Sleep - Claude is often tired, thanks to insomnia. As a result, if he's not doing art you can find him taking catnaps somewhere.
Food - Claude likes to eat. He likes to eat a lot, mostly because he misses meals thanks to being too focused on his work. He especially likes omelettes, because they're simple to make and takes little time to eat.
[center][font=aa]DISLIKES~
*frown*
Mornings - Claude tends to forget that morning's exist. He doesn't like mornings thanks to being an insomniac, and as a result he tends to fall asleep in the wee hours of the morning, making him a bit grumpy when he doesn't get his intended rest.
Talking - got made fun of for his way of talking, slurring and stuff, so he tends to keep silent until he has to. He's also embarrassed about his speech patterns.
Darkness - Claude doesn't mind the dark so long as he's with someone. However, he doesn't like true pitch black darkness, as it renders him blind and unable to see, a fear of anyone who uses their eyes for their passions or work. As a result he's scared of the dark.
Sleep - Claude wants to sleep, but thanks to both nightmares and insomnia he doesn't want to either. It's a bit of a love-hate relationship.
[center][font=aa]HISTORY~
"... Don't... wanna think, about it."
Claude was born normally, but kept in an isolated area. His mother was a painter, and baby Claude could often be found playing with their tools, resulting in a gentle chide and taking it away, only to be replaced with pencils to draw with. Claude grew up holding a paintbrush in one hand and a pencil in the other. His mom had a series of boyfriends, both good and terrible, but she never stayed with them for long. Neglectful and focused only in her work, she still tried the best to raise Claude the way she knew how, and Claude grew up learning about paints and how to take care of himself, rarely leaving the studio they lived in.
When she died, Claude was taken in by an uncle. He soon learnt of Claude's power when he was six, and that was when things went to hell.
His uncle wanted Claude to use his power for forgeries. He also wanted to use it for counterfeiting, but Claude's powers didn't allow for that - at least at first. Trapped in an isolated room with only art materials for company, Claude was forced into a hellish training regiment so that his uncle could use his powers for monetary gain. Any failures were met with both physical and psychological punishment, and any attempts to defy or hide was met with worst - one time Claude got caught trying to escape, he was tied up and locked in a small, dark box, left unable to see, move, touch or hear for two days. As time went on, Claude grew dis-attached to the world, escaping his situation by painting, growing more and more silent as he did so until people thought he was mute. Broken, frightened, unable to even think about disobeying without fearing for his life thanks to his uncle's abuse (which was part of the reason it was so large - Uncle needed a way to control someone who could use paint against him), Claude grew depressed and silent, tired of everything - until one day, circumstances lead him to the WRWFC, dripping blood and barely conscious, a high fever ravaging his senses.
He had been 13 at the time. Now, with the help of Cosmo and the other residents, Claude has grown past his silence, grown less depressed, but the effects of his past still remain.
