Chroma

A drawing of Chroma, a mostly cyan squid whose other body parts are different vibrant colors. A reference sheet for Chroma, a mostly cyan squid whose other body parts are different vibrant colors. He has six tentacles--two long arm-like tentacles (pink and lime), and four rather short leg-like tentacles (blue, green, purple, and yellow). His mantle and fins are orange, dotted with various white spots. Chroma, 'The Shy Navigator', is a rather timid Squishy who was born multicolored, which also affects the color of his ink. He spits this ink from his mouth (under his tentacles), and actually uses it alongside ink in painting, being a hobbyist artist. Chroma also has a sketchbook, though it hasn't been used in some time. Chroma is very skilled at swimming...and also running away.

Personality

On the flipside from some of his friends, Chroma Gillbert is reserved and quite shy. He often doesn't know how to say hi to new people, so he often ends up avoiding them altogether. While hard to talk to at times, he puts a lot of effort into things he's passionate about, such as art. Chroma also tries to be cautious and avoid danger at any turn, which has ended up making him into a very thoughtful and observant Squishy.

Abilities

Born with a genetic mutation that altered the color of his skin, Chroma's ink varies wildly in color, and can be used for a variety of purposes, such as blinding opponents, restoring a minor amount of energy to his allies, and even as paint. Chroma's swimming abilities are also top-notch, better than most members of his species. Additionally, he's also a bit stronger on average, allowing him to pull his own custom-made boat in the water, while acting as a de facto motor.

Finally, Chroma appears to have inherited the Joestar family secret technique of running away, which he uses to great effect in stressful situations.
