Larry Samuel

"Life is meaningless, but so is death."

A lanky, deadpan musician who travels across Einquell in hopes of bringing his message to people through his performance. He's not great at it.

## Personality

The eternal straight man, Larry's personality is as subdued and low key as a toon gets. He tends to put more stock in the strange concept of "manners" and "common sense" rather than impulsive shenanigans. Society is enough of a joke for him, though no one else seems to like his brand of nihilistic humor very much.

Despite Larry's reluctance to get roped into wacky scenarios and his general lack of interpersonal skills, he's actually a pretty kind person where it counts; as pointless as life is, it's equally pointless to be mean. May as well give people what very, very little reassurance he can.

## Appearance

Larry's most distinguishing trait is that.... you can't see any distinguishing traits, due to the mask he wears. His arms are wrapped thoroughly in bandages and the hood of his sweater is always pulled up. Only his neck is not completely covered, but the shadows of his hoodie are still too dark to make any details out.

## Shenanigans

**The Taffy Train Cross-Continental -** Larry won a ticket for an exclusive ride on the Taffy Train while eating a bar of chocolate. The attempted film, subsequent tragic murder, and catastrophic destruction of the train put Larry in the public spotlight, as well as entangling him in the lives of the other sweepstakes winners.

**Lost and Found -** In an attempt to revitalize the Engineer's spark of creativity and hopefully repair the man's public image, Larry encouraged the old bird to attempt making a new film. Larry was not expecting to then get cast as the main antagonist in the movie, which then put him on an unexpected fast track to stardom. He performed well, proved to be unexpectedly good at designing a marketing campaign, and earned himself a steady job at Dodo Studios. Also, he got to beat up the crazy lich who ruined everything on the train, which was nice.

**12FPS: Larry and the Engineer -** After finishing up some reshoots of their film, Larry and the Engineer got to know each other a tad better. Realizing that now as an employee of Dodo Studios he needed to let his boss know more about him, Larry revealed his face to the Engineer.

**12FPS: Heart to Snart -** While visiting the local library, Snalien's interrogation of Larry's secrets resulted in the both of them getting thrown in the Library Dungeon (you know, the one all libraries have) to work off their energy. After dodging a few traps and solving a couple puzzles, Larry deigned to reveal certain details of his past to Snalien, who in turn promised to stop pushing so hard to learn Larry's private matters.

**Sleepytime Junction -** Desperate to make sure his boss got some rest, Larry and new recruit Tobias took over the studio for a few hours, putting out metaphorical and literal fires alike. At the end of the day, however, they wound up handling what turned out to be Nightmare Fuel, and wound up terrified and defenseless against their own psyche. The Engineer pulled them out of their own heads, but not before Tobias learned a very personal secret that Larry had been keeping to himself.
