Character Sheet - Louis Despatis (Pirate)

Proving once and for all that James is not short, Louis is just a freak of nature.

Trying to find a quicker way of throwing together a refsheet, since Louis is in desperate need of an update. Maybe now I'll stop hating them so much and get around to the rest of my characters.

The height chart should help a lot in developing the rest of the characters. Louis is easiest the tallest of my brainchildren, but I may alter his height further down the line as I figure out the rest of the cast. 213 cms might be just a tad too ridiculous, but then where's the fun with exaggerated characters if they have no variety?

Louis's motif has moved away from being loud and brash for the sake of ... well, being loud and brash, to reflecting more of who he is instead. He is constantly seeking freedom from discrimination and a sense of place in the world. Most of his outfits and colour schemes take inspiration from birds, commonly symbolizing freedom, and embody his attempt to take flight. The idea of "leaving the roost" is also relevant, as this is how the whole pirate debacle got started in the first place.

And then of course there's the fact many male birds are more brightly coloured than their female counterparts, but that literal "peacocking" is just an added bonus.
