Colton Carter

Colton Carter is a deceased scientist whose upbringing and education was held at the same academy Ikki Juumal went to. While still alive, he obsessively cut out newspaper clippings, took notes on seemingly trivial things and did what he was assigned to do. He passionately would connect dots and find patterns in things, but everyone would roll their eyes and dismiss this habit of his- thinking it was all a part of his imagination. This 'imagination' was actually what helped him succeed in his work, seeing as how there was truth in it. In his remaining days, he constructed mechanical forearm sleeves and through a massive amount of prediction by his own unique way, he requested that they be stored up until a certain date. Years later, well after his death, the package finally arrived to the Bunker of Justice.

Backstory

Colton and Ikki shared a friendship that never progressed into a romance, but it could be said that the two loved each other. (Not that Ikki loves like a normal person does.) One day, he persuaded her that they had to go destroy - or at least stall- the experiment he was tasked to work on. Ikki initially said no, as when it was explained to her, she had agreed that it "must be built." He managed to take advantage of how she saw the world to help her see why it would be unacceptable. Kurt, the shapeshifter whose body went faulty after the experiment that stressed his structure so he could assume different forms, intercepted them just in time to barely save the half-broken project.

He activated a device that was sort of 'government media control' (the subtle images that come together that help portray things a certain way) packed into one small machine and amplified. Ikki was exposed to a different set of images then Colton. Colton managed to triumph over the shapeshifter- but only momentarily, buying enough time for Ikki to get the hell out of there. It was then that Kurt brought out a gun and shot Colton in the head.
