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.

The Doll Types 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 Doll Default name Given Name Name Giver Servant doll 01 Servant doll 02 Lily Fubuki Kouri Servant doll 03 Servant Doll Height: About 1'5" Loyalty: Cou, Targeted Node Dolls, Targeted Person Directive: Assisting, Cleaning, Sorting Type: Minor, Support Description: Servant dolls are the backbone of Cou’s puppet squad. They are recognised by their black and white dress with a red ribbon and white frilly headband. They speak in a high pitch tone and are very polite. These dolls directive is to assist with jobs and help out their assigned master. They are very versatile when tasked with a job. These dolls not only assist their master, but other dolls as well. They act like a team, supporting the other dolls. If a place it to high to reach for a doll, Servant dolls with assist the doll to get up. Butler Doll Height: About 1'5" Loyalty: Cou, Targeted Node Dolls, Targeted Person. Directive: Personal Assistance Type: Minor, Support Description: Butler dolls tend to assigned master’s personal needs. They are recognised by their Black suit with a red rose sewed onto it. These guys speak in a mid-ranged tone, and are polite to their assigned master. These dolls are their master’s personal assistance. Because these dolls are so small, when their master gives a request they will work as a team to fulfil they order. Butler dolls are often seen near their master, following them around. Node Doll Height: about 4ft Loyalty: Cou Directive: Manage minor dolls, Doll carrier, Light load transporter Type: Major, Support, Loyal, Utility Description: Node dolls are one of the larger dolls of Cou’s Puppet Squad. These dolls are recognised by their height and their white and blue clothing with red ribbons. They only listen to Cou’s Orders. They speak in a high-mid range tone. Node dolls are very important for doll management. They have slightly more intelligence than minor dolls. They are able to command a small group of dolls like Cou. They also serve as the minor dolls method of long distance transport. However, only 3 dolls can be carried. These dolls are also able to carry a light load for transport. Sui-Doll Height: About 1'5" Loyalty: Cou, Node Dolls Directive: Emergency fire, EXPLODE on foes. Type: Minor, Combat, Utility, Loyal Description: Sui-dolls are rarely made by Cou. Only 2 or 3 dolls are active at a time. They are recognised by their red hooded jackets. They speak in a high-mid range tone. 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! Medic Doll Height: About 1'5" Loyalty: Cou, Node Dolls Directive: Doll Maintenance Type: Minor, Support, Loyal Description: Medic Dolls serves as a health supervisor for Cou's puppet Squad. They are recognised my their whit hooded Shawl and various miniature equipment. They rarely speak, but if they do they voice had a mid range tone. 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.
