splittingheadache | CR Chart (WIP);

❝ I could be a friend, or I could be a foe
You make the decision, and that's all I know
Oh, I could be a sinner, I could be a saint
Perfectly devoid of anything I ain't ❞
Spoken For - FLAVOR FOLEY

explanation

This isn't your normal CR chart - this is Louis's CR chart. What this means is, instead of a blurb describing his thoughts and feelings on the character in question, the blurb is there to describe who he's trying to be for the character.
Louis is, and always will be, a chameleon. He has multiple facets to his personality, and whether consciously or not, he divvies these facets up to the people he meets accordingly.
His life's taught him that it's easier to mold himself to the expectations and needs of those around him, rather than staunchly standing by "who he is" - because he doesn't even know who he is, in the first place.

His interactions will (almost) always start off distant and polite, but the more he gets to know someone, the more he learns what they're like - and the more he decides what they want from him. What they want him to be.
And so, here's where you get to learn, from an OOC perspective, what he's decided for your characters!

The bars, of course, are pretty self explanatory, but regardless:
Affection: how much he likes your character!
Trust: how much he actually trusts your character, which, for Louis, is completely separate from affection.
Honesty: just how honest Louis is (or tries to be) with your character.

Evangeline

» » » abnormalizes

For Eva, the keyword is passionate.
For her, he's built himself up to be hypersexual and brash, allows himself to give into his carnal feelings fully just for her sake. Like an animal, he lets his instincts run wild whenever he's with her. Every little bit of him that's as suave and dominant as can be is given to her without hesitation, even if all they're discussing is breakfast. He needs to match her energy step for step, beat for beat, even allowing himself to give up his self-control in order to satisfy whatever her needs are.
This includes dropping his inhibitions and happily making a fool of himself in the process - just like when she managed to talk him into orgasm while carrying him down the street.
It was embarrassing, but it made her happy. That's all he wants her to be around him - happy.
And to that end, he's pleased and willing to be a little beast for her... an animal with its claws drawn, ready to dig them into her whenever she asks.
Aside from that, though? He's surprisingly open with her.

Aimoto Rinku

» » » roundandaround

For Rinku, the keyword is sweet. She needs someone who is kind and polite to her, warm and able to match her sunshine without dulling it or outshining it. But at the same time, he does his best to be a helpful shoulder to lean on, someone who will care for her and give her advice as needed no matter the topic. The "gay best friend from high school" trope, but he's pansexual; someone who will tell her what she needs to hear, but wrap it up in sugar to make it easy for her to swallow.

Lucifer Morningstar

» » » dadbeatdad

For Lucifer, the keyword is pathetic. For someone like Lucifer, owning a therapeutic hotel from which he reigns from the tippy top, Louis does his best to be someone who needs help and assistance. Willing to roll over and expose his soft underbelly like a neglected shelter dog just trying to appease the people in charge around him, allowing himself to break down in front of Lucifer - both consciously and not - so that he can come across as truly in need of help. He wrings his hands like he's in a constant state of anxiety, gives him big doe eyes, flutters his lashes for the devil whenever he can get away with it. He wants to be the sad little kitten that's gotten its head stuck in a paper cup, forced to seek out the nearest helping hand to free him, and, oh, it's so convenient that Lucifer was right there to help him, isn't it?

Von Lycaon

» » » wolfishlycharming

For Lycaon, the keyword is needy. Similarly to Lucifer, Louis tries to be someone who needs Lycaon's help and assistance - but in complete contrast to Lucifer, it's not shown through incompetence and anxiety, but rather, leaning into who he used to be while he was alive: an unhealthy rich heir who barely understands how life works outside of the mansion, so happy to listen to his loyal attendant's thoughts and advice so that he can simply make it through the day. He stammers, he blushes, he holds his face and shies away - while the embarrassment and sheepishness he feels is true, there's no understating the fact that he does his best to stifle them for others. But for Lycaon? He flays his ribs and puts it all on display.

Katasumi Amari

» » » itaidol

For Amari, the keyword... used to be suave. The cute, dorky, nervous girl meeting with the cool, collected boy at a cafe, taking her hand, buying her all she could ask for, giving her gift after gift; in his eyes, he fulfilled the role of slice-of-life love interest for the ditzy protag he saw in Amari.

However... thanks to a conversation they had, he's now become convinced she can actively see through all of his facades; what would be a terrifying prospect for him, if it weren't for how soft and pathetic he perceives her to be. Thanks to this rare mix of "I can easily take her in a fight" and "she can see through me like cellophane", Amari is the only person that Louis strives to be fully honest with. ... Even though that's a laughably difficult struggle for him - even he doesn't know who he is without the facades, after all.
Still, though, he tries. Because the other option would be promising to be honest and failing as she sees right through it - just as he's convinced she's able to do.

Oma Kokichi

» » » shamtagonist

For Kokichi, the keyword is reflective. Kokichi is a rare find for Louis - a kindred spirit, a lying liar who lies for the sake of it, someone who enjoys causing trouble and stealing things and laughing at others. And so, for Kokichi, Louis is nothing but smoke and mirrors - reflecting what he sees in the naphil right back at him, rolling with the lies as if they were funny jokes and half-truths, happy to poke and prod and tease right back. Letting Kokichi see the depths of his delusions, just because he knows that the other would think they're funny.
Kokichi, himself, is nothing but a little clown... so Louis's happy to put on a matching little jester's cap and jingle along with him.

Castorice

» » » chrysolis

For Castorice, the keyword is... unknown. Despite the fact that they've spoken a few times, Louis doesn't know her very well - and her quiet, sheepish nature makes it hard for him to gauge exactly how he should be applying himself for her. But he's at least happy to have met what he assumes is another bug enthusiast.
Until he gets to know her better, he matches her energy step for step as best he can while maintaining his distance, watching and waiting to see what, exactly, she might need from him.

Narinder

» » » the-one-who-waits

For Narinder, the keyword is cruel. A former god of death, harsh and unforgiving, easy to tease, yet keeps crawling back to speak with Louis anyway? There's no way Louis wouldn't fall right into being a bully for him - happy to laugh and make fun of him, push all of the buttons he can find, annoy and irritate the cat until he rages... and then watch as Narinder continues speaking to him regardless, waiting for the cat to ask him for advice so he can shill out half-truths that he's not always sure will even work. But even if they don't, does it matter? The results will be funny, either way.

Max Davis

» » » melodymania

For Max, the keyword is... muddled. Like Castorice, Louis doesn't know Max very well - but unlike Castorice, Max is very loud about the sort of person he is. Louis isn't sure what to make of him, and so far, his only interactions with Max have spiked the Orange magic in his blood to the point that he isn't fully lucid around the fae god. That's what happens when he talks to people who love wearing stark, bright orange, unfortunately.
