Cobalt Priston

Personality
Cobalt is naturally curious and has a great passion in learning and sharing knowledge, a characteristic she inherited from her father, Torvald Priston. Due to this, she can easily barrage strangers with an endless stream of questions, which is exacerbated by her lack of knowledge on most mundane things and social norms, caused by her secluded life. If she learns someone needs help, she'll go her way to help them the best way she can, using her vast scientific knowledge to do so. Usually, when things are going well, she can be enthusiastic and upbeat, looking for some new project to work on or something to reverse engineer. Though when something goes wrong, Cobalt will have a big tendency of blaming herself for not seeing things turning out the way they did, overfocusing on the problem and entering a looping state of mind.

Appearance
She's a regular Noivern, having a smaller than average height and thinner build, but nothing outside what one would expect from a Noivern. She is usually seen carrying a messenger back filled with an assortment of tools and her trusty leather goggles. She also carries an oversized holstered gun on her hip.

Inventions
Here is a list of notable inventions or tweaks she has done or built.



The Stun Gun
Using the schematics of the Hypnotoxic Laser provided by DeBUG #168. It was created while Cobalt was in Forina, in an attempt to create a device to protect her and her friends without actually hurting them. For that, Cobalt has managed to create a device with similar functionality, but applying different effects. Instead of Poisoning and potentially putting the target to sleep as the Hypnotoxic Laser usually does, The Stun Gun instead Paralyzes and Confuses the opponent.More specifically, the person hit by a laser shot of it has their arms, legs and other movement muscles nerve signals jammed and messed around, making moving nearly impossible. It also overloads the sensory systems of the target, making light brighter for the eyes, everything louder for the ears, the scent of everything around greatly increased, the sense of balance go haywire, and so on. It does affect Ground pokémon, as it is not an electric move. Electric pokémon can overcome the Paralysis portion by focusing on normalizing the electricity flux in their bodies, but it can be considered challenging due to the sensory overload the Stun Gun causes. Pokémon with the Own Tempo ability are immune to the sensory overload part due to the Confusion immunity, but are still affected by the Paralysis portion of the Stun Gun. When used on electronics or robots, it jams the target's electrical grids until it either discharges the excess of electricity or is shut down.

Also, the Stun Gun does not deal any physical damage and the effects are short and temporary, having its full effect lasting ten minutes, with its major effects gone in an hour at max. The target may experience heightened senses and a small difficulties to move properly up to 24 hours after being shot if they do not consume healing items. Those affected by The Stun Gun crackle purple sparks, similar to the characteristic yellow cracks from regular Paralysis. Each effect (Paralysis and Confusion) are treated separately, meaning the consumption of a Persim Berry only cures Confusion and a Cheri Berry only cures Paralysis. Lum Berries, Full Restores and similar items will cure all the Stun Gun's effects.

The Item Magnet
It is a tweaked version of an Item Finder she bought in Olivine City. It works similarly to regular Item Finders, but it also has the function to pull the objects it finds. She tweaked it in order to make money, investing the money Gem gave her in order to buy some materials she needed to proceed in her journey.
