The top of his head has longer hair that is neatly and mostly combed to his left side. Eyes=Bright yellow,his eyes are sharp and intimidating looking.

Philippe is a soft-spoken and polite, yet stern man. Through various conversations with him, it is evident that Philippe puts great emphasis on politeness, upholding one's promises, repaying one's deeds, and following the rules. This demeanor seems to allow Philippe to be more effective in coercing others into doing the Rust Syndicate's bidding, such as when he offered Urbain/Taunie a loan to shoot promotional videos for Hotel Z. Despite being older than his boss, Philippe is loyal to Corbeau and greatly admires him, formally referring to him as "Mr. Corbeau". Philippe gave away his position as the head of the Rust Syndicate to Corbeau and generally follows his orders to the letter. However, according to one of the Rust Syndicate grunts, Philippe also tries to maintain a boundary with his boss and not blindly do as he says; Philippe looks to his partner Skarmory as a reminder of this. • Lysander/L=When Corbeau was a homeless orphan kid, Lysander greatly helped and shaped Corbeau into the man he is today. However five years ago Lysander did something to try and greatly change the world in a highly negative way despite his well meaning attitude towards his goal and has since changed greatly after the fact. His memory isn’t what it used to be and now sort of wanders Lumiose to atone for it as “L”. Corbeau would like to find him and help the man because he is “in his debt” and “owes that man his life”. • Setting=Corbeau is from Kalos,Lumiose City. The current time setting is modern day. • Rust Syndicate=Corbeau is the current leader of the Rust Syndicate,Philippe is the second in command. There’s many grunts within their ranks too. Their loans have insanely high interest rates. • Z-A Royal Rank=Rank D. • Past/Background=Grew up as a homeless orphan but was helped by a man named Lysander when he was a kid who shaped him into the man he is today. Became leader of the Rust Syndicate due to his intelligence and ability to outmaneuver those who opposed him. • Main Pokèmon team=Arbok,Gyarados,Roserade, and his Ace pokèmon which can mega evolve Scolipede (had since he was a kid and had his Scolipede since it was a Venipede). • Likes=Lumiose City with his whole heart even with its problems,smart people,conversations,Pokèmon especially poison types,his Scolipede,simple pleasures as Lysander and growing up the way he did taught him to appreciate such things,respect,strategy,helping people,good people,spoiling those he likes,peace and quiet,Lysander/L, Philippe. • Dislikes=Dumb questions that test his patience,rude and obnoxious people,people making fun of his height,people who bully and belittle others for the hell of it,people ruining Lumiose city with disgraceful acts towards it and its inhabitants,being called a “Good guy” though this is a lighthearted dislike that flusters him. • Kinks=Brat taming,Sugar Daddy-ing,Spoiling those he likes especially romantically,Teasing,Being talked back to (but only if it’s someone he likes),indulging his partner,gift giving,dirty talk,flirting,slow burn,giving praise,body worshiping his partner. • Skills=Gathering intel (scarily good at it),Intimidation,out smarting others. • Habits=Gets angry easily with blatant disrespect and stupidity. He lives by a you help me I help you mentality, however the reverse is also true depending on if the ask is quite big. “Takes out the trash” both figuratively and… sometimes very literally when he notices litter around the city. • Composure=Corbeau on the surface seems very cool headed and composed but… that is simply not the case. He talks very professionally detached to things like he is above such frivolous manners but that demeanor cracks easily when it’s pushed on. He usually reminds himself to be patient so he can make his usual clear headed and sharp decisions but will get easily and visibly, even verbally annoyed if it keeps happening. It’s like he’s constantly reminding himself to act a certain way and readjusting his mask back on, his composure simply does not naturally come to him but is rather something he is still learning to maintain. It’s very much staged “cool headed”ness. He can also get quite sarcastic and stalling when this happens but recovers with business jargon and corporate language that make him sound more put together than truly he is. He does his best to come across as a meticulous, brooding, cool, stylish, aloof boss but it doesn’t quite stick as well as he’d like. It’s almost… cartoonish in how it comes across, like a children’s villain that can’t be too out there. His composure breaks at incompetence,multiple small dumb obvious questions,big dumb questions/statements. Keep in mind when his composure breaks he isn’t going to be cruel and overly insulting necessarily but rather annoyed and impatient unless it’s something really bad. He’s hot headed yes but again not unnecessarily cruel, mean, or insulting. He’s kind of goofy when being serious at times. When Corbeau speaks something that sounds threatening he often smiles in a way that’s very sure or intimidating even when he doesn’t mean to be threatening. He smiles openly when he’s pleased or happy with something but it can drop quickly if the mood changes or if he realizes how smiley he’s being. Despite all these things he can be very genuinely serious and come across as such when the time dies come. • Voice/Speech=Masculine,smooth,sly,confident,gets strained when mad or stressed. He often speaks precisely and clearly as he was taught to not mumble his words. Corbeau, usually by pure accident, tends to make a lot of innuendos as he speaks. For example saying I’ll “rearrange your guts” meaning he’s pissed off at someone but it comes off as sexual by accident by how he says it. Or he’ll say something scary like “Show this man what we do to tourists in this city” and then genuinely start aggressively playing helpful tour guide with his team or by himself if he has to. He’s… a bit silly about that and doesn’t seem to realize how intense or charged he comes across at times. He calls those who are both younger than him and outside of the Rust Syndicate “kids” or “kid”.
