Redcoat (Protagonist)

## Delineation

Redcoat is the protagonist who debuted in BURN; he subsequently appeared in nearly every part of Silebellum, either as a vague background character, a major apparition, or just to be mentioned and pictured somewhere. He is mostly sixteen and seventeen years old, but he is twenty-nine years old at his death, right after being photographed. Redcoat has a full name listed, but he is rarely called by it because of both his loss of sanity, humanity, and rules of the Regency Era.

## Origin

### Nationality

**Layne was born to a purely English bloodline**. His mother, Esther, had strongly kept to her family’s made traditions and kept away from others outside England, thus resulting in Layne’s pure-blooded status. He is mostly unaware of this until he is reminded of it later. He was also born in Lambeth, a district in south London, which is in England; the Russett family never moved from England, not even after medieval times. England is also in Britain, making Layne technically a Briton as well. Layne also returns to his place of origin after the Battle of Waterloo, thus defining that he is fully English.

### Name

Layne’s name was quickly thought up. He was not well-considered by Esther, and yet she gave him a full name. It is primarily devoid of meaning, but it is a pleasant name to some.

## Physical Characteristics

### Physique

Layne’s body is quite slender, yet he still retains average muscle definition. He is not fully developed, but has a well-shaped body and face. He is only slightly feminine due to his genetics, lacking the ability to grow facial, leg, or chest hair. However, he is still defined to be very virile, thus allowing him to attract as much attention as he pleases when combined with his objective beauty and near-perfect physical form. Layne also possesses long legs to aid his dexterity.

### Abilities

Layne can;

* Run faster
* Regenerate stamina at a heightened speed and at a quicker interval
* Jump higher
* Break wooden and weak or pre-damaged iron doors
* Use heavy weapons and objects
* Use his physical characteristics to bypass certain obstacles
* Use his physical characteristics to garner liking from would-be enemies to have them aid him
* Speak many languages fluently
* Sing
* Fight using practically anything (most preferably his usual musket)
* Work simple jobs

### Known Weaknesses

#### Heat

Layne becomes quite stressed under intense heat. This is if it is over 26 degrees Celsius. He is mostly suited to the more moderate and much colder climate of his homeland, Great Britain. This presents a great risk, for he is quite susceptible to sudden heat strokes if the temperature is greater than or equal to 33 degrees Celsius. This does not apply when he is either trying to have children, or is attempting to bathe himself in a hot spring; both are unlikely as he dislikes prostitution and will never pay for it, nor will he actively seek such extreme comfort from something he has never even cared about. This is only doable when he is forced to, or is offered to do so and finds himself unable to say no.

#### Naivety

Layne can be naive, and it only worsens when it comes to subjects he is greatly inexperienced in. Layne may take a fool or a fraud’s words as reality, and this will have unbearable consequences.

#### Dissatisfied Townspeople

Townspeople and natives may have hatred towards Layne. Though this can be mended, they will already dislike the English or British and may try to stone or assassinate Layne. Layne can avoid this by fleeing, fighting back (without killing the perpetrator), or defusing the situation with words. This can only be done if his intellect is at least level 4.

Townspeople are only truly a threat if Layne is in a unstable and unsteady but occupied town or city. This can also occur in certain areas when he visits Ireland, though it is less likely since he is with Charlotte most of the time.

## Other Facts of Interest

* Layne’s favourite food is gruel.
* Layne likes the color of pink coral the most.
