(Fullview :I)

I was just thinking it was time to upload Ludwig's ref. sheet after I created him almost 4 years ago. (Especially after I decided to rewrite the fanfic where he first appears into something more close to the original plot, which I had changed being afraid it would be a bit too much for a game rated E for Everyone) :D

I decided to stylize him a bit more, making him more compatible with Sly 4's character design without changing him too much. (The only difference is that he now has a more feline face from his mother but also resembles his father Dimitri at the same time as well)

So well, for anyone interested:
(And since I have fun writing :D)

Name: Ludwig
Surname: Lousteau
Age: 32 years old
Species: Hybrid between Barbary Lion (His mother) and Iguana (His father)
Birthday: 23rd of August (He's a Virgo :I)
Family:
Dimitri Lousteau (Father)
Ran Seirei (Mother)
Octavio (Grand-grand Father, mother's side)

Personality: Ludwig is (most of the times) calm, rational, polite and well-mannered. However, as harmless his actions in the daily life may seem, it's just a cover for himself to mask his true intentions: purging the World from those he considers "scum" to make a better living place for the entire population. He doesn't care how many people he kills in the process, as for him this is only a little sacrifice for a greater cause, and Sly and his friends are just another batch of "nuisances" to get rid of. He is also completly conscious of what he is doing, and is not driven by instinct, making him quite a danger.

He is precise and serious and, as much he loves being in the center of attention, he is very careful about his actions. He knows that operating in the shadows is the best way for his so-called "psychological domination", which allows him to inculcate fear and insecurity among people and yet getting away with it.

He happens to be a big narcissist and tends to curl his moustaches when pleased. He sometimes can't hold himself and adds French words into his English. : D

Background: An enfant prodige, just because he was seen as "different" (also to the fact he is a hybrid), he was often beatened and humiliated by his schoolmates and others. When he had met his girlfriend, everything seemed to get better, before the incident that took her life away and made him lose the last bits of sanity that had remained.

Enemies: His nemesis, Sherlock (lol pun) the stag. He is the only one that discovered him, and the only thing he needs now is a proof to be able to definitely take care of him, Sly and his gang.

Stuff: He built (along with his deceased girlfriend) a giant blimp-flying fortress shaped as an enormous steampunk-ish dragon which is exactly like a city, but weapon-filled. It is his main way to reach fast every angle of the Globe being unseen, as it is capable to fly at such heights to be either not-visible or mistaken for a bird anyways. It can be controlled via an organ placed inside the "head" of the "dragon", corresponding to the "eyes" via notes that only Ludwig knows.

Calling him filthy hybrid is a way to make him go on berserk. :D
