Personality: Coud, or Cou, is a reserved young man who'll often speak in a somewhat formal tone, using manners no matter how colloquial or informal the conversation maybe. Cou tends to brood and stays silent when he is annoyed or pissed. He'll cut of all communication until he cools down, even after cooling down he'll keep quiet for a which. however, if he isn't annoyed he's caring to his close friends, showing his feelings in an odd fashion.
Cou enjoys creating Servant Dolls and then making them come to life. He treats his dolls with care, but doesn't get too attached to them. Especially when he creates Sui-dolls.
Cou is an individual who doesn't mind the presence of others, so long as they don't prod too much into his personal life, unless he knows them well. Being friends with him is simple. all you have to do is be polite and respectful, and he'll do the same thing back to you. Cou isn't a fan of unnecessary violence and will try to avoid direct conflict when ever possible.
Theme Song:
Appearance
Coud Van Voltaire is a 16 year old teen that has very pale blonde hair that almost seems to be deprived of colour. His hair is quite long and straight as it flows all the way down, passed his shoulders. Cou’s eyes are bright blue and slightly narrow, giving him a sharp look. However, his eyes tend to make people misunderstand his feelings, sometimes giving people a cold glare without noticing. Cou’s skin is quite pale, just like his mother. If Cou were to tan, his skin would only go a shade darker. He also has his family Signet tattooed on the left side of his Chest, he got this at the age of 14.

The Voltaire Family Signet
Grimoire of The Voltaires
Cou with his glasses on and hair tied back
Cou tends to wear his favourite white buttoned up shirt, along with a black leather jacket that reaches all the way down past his knees like a coat, as well as his black pants and shoes. Cou wears a pendant that hangs on his neck by a silver chain. The pendant is square bit of silver with “Voltaire Family” engraved on the back. He tends to hold his family's Grimorie either in his hand or bag. Cou tends to stow items in his jacket rather than his bag. However, if he does wear a bag, the strap will be on the opposite shoulder the bag is on. Cou sometimes ties back his long hair in a ponytail and puts on glasses when he works, Cou's vision is a tad bit hazy.
Character Concept
The Voltaire family isn’t an aristocratic family, nor do they have any special qualities. However, they do feel a sense of pride being part of the family, so much so they made a family crest. The Voltaire family originated from Zeltiva. The first member of the Voltaire family, who started the Voltaire legacy and passed down the knowledge of animation, was a scholar at the University. Coud Von Voltaire, not to be confused with the currant Coud Von Voltaire, was the first member of the family who started the Voltaire legacy. He aimed to pass down his knowledge for it to be refined and assist his descendants. As the knowledge of animation was being passed down, each generation found a use for it, as well as refining its knowledge. Cou is currently the only known 4th generation of the Voltaire family so far.
Coud Von Voltaire is a ‘puppeteer’ of a sort. His puppets are actually animated dolls that he commands with hand gestures and his voice. Cou acts like a commander, leading an army that assists with everyday task such as cleaning, sorting and delivering things. However, If Cou required a small team of puppets to do some work elsewhere, too far away for the puppets to receive his command. Cou will employ his loyal ‘Node dolls’ to manage them.
Ever since Cou was a young boy, one thing that Cou enjoyed doing is stare and delicate and elegant beauty of flowers and designs. That’s why he puts in effort to create the nice clothing for his dolls. Although each clothing he makes is the same, he takes time to refine the dress, making it seem more beautiful without changing the design.
Born as the 4th generation of The Voltaire Family.
Growing up, father taught him the theory of animation.
when he was old enough he received the initiation from his father after extensive research about over giving and boundaries.
Mother taught him how to sew and found his fondness for beautiful things.
revived lessons about carving from a Vantha and learn how to speak Vani.
When he was old enough to be independent, his mother and father moved Zeltiva to purse knowledge. (these points are the jist of the history. I will full write up the history soon.)

Atta Sabot
Boss
Atta is Cou's Boss at The Flower Stand. he'll sometimes talking about problems that he's faced with to get rid of metal burdens. He respects her because of that.
Housing
Coud Von Voltaire lives in the Traveller's Row in Syliras.
Description: Cou works at The Flower Stand as a Clerk. He assists his boss and Co-workers as well as selling flowers. Cou is often seen arranging flowers and tending to customers.
Cou will often bring one or two Servant dolls to assist in the workspace (Later he will make Garden Dolls and bring them instead) to help make everyone's work slightly easier. The dolls will clean the place and arrange flowers, only by colour because they have limited intellegence
These Dolls, or puppets, are created by Cou through his skills. The Dolls have certain clothing and that define its purpose or directive. The dolls main purpose is to assist an individual, not to combat an individual. If a doll was used in combat, it would most like be used in self-defence. They are dolls, not weapons. Each doll has a circular signet carved onto their bodies, which are hidden under their clothing. These serve as a signature of Cou's work. The signet has a unique symbol in the centre, this acts like a name, or identification for each doll. No two dolls will have the same symbols. Every doll, except combat, node dolls and a few exceptions, is able to obey other people orders – so long the doll was given the command to obey that specific person. Each doll can be shutdown by touching their Glyph and saying the shutdown phrase, which Cou only knows. Like the glyph shutdown phrases are unique - the glyph help jogs Cou's memory. New dolls will be created as Cou lives his life.
Signet Example: The doll's Signet are hidden under their clothing. Each glyph in the centre is unique and may contain special properties. For example, The Sui-Dolls' Glyph contain Fire Reimancy they they activate to burst into flames.

Named Dolls :
Sometimes dolls have been given names by Cou and others. If you wish to name a doll all you have to do is ask Cou when he has a doll with no default name. If Cou dislikes the name however, he simply won't register the name. Only two can be named by a PC, so people do hog all of the dolls

The quality of these dolls isn’t as refined as other dolls. The reason for that is because these dolls have a very short existence. These dolls are used for self-defence, and they are only a one time use. Sui-dolls charge towards their target and latch onto them, soon after they activate their glyph and explode is a ball of fire. Despite this use, these dolls were actually made to create fire in a hurry. Great for camping!

Cou will find that the more dolls he has, the more maintenance he will have to do, making sure that each dolls body and joints are in good. That's why Medic dolls were made. These dolls with move about and check other dolls to make sure their condition is 'A okay'. If the doll isn't in top condition, the Medic Doll with preform its maintenance with it's miniature tools. These dolls are the only doll able to shutdown minor dolls, so it can preform it's directive with speed and ease.
Drama Doll
Height: About 1'5" Loyalty: Cou, Targeted Person Directive: Preform Type: Minor
Description: Every Puppeteer needs to make a performance every now and then, and what kind of puppeteer doesn't have a puppet? Drama Doll’s only directive is to follow the narration of its targeted instructor. There are no unique that characterizes a Drama dolls, but it’s easy to differentiate them for other dolls.
Drama dolls follow the narrator to play out a story. However, all lethal action is acted like in real drama performance (for example, if the doll stabs another, it will place its weapon on its opponent’s hip, emulating a stab). Each doll has been given a look that vaguely resembles both genders, so that the clothing they wear determines their Gender. Drama dolls are just for entertainment use, they have no practical use asides from telling stories.
