Chipie

A young man who loves – and is pretty much constantly thinking about – cats. Apart from the weird cat thing, he is a good young man whose sense of decency and fair judgment are second to none.

## Appearance

Chipie appears to be a young man with a cat that looks a bit odd around his neck. The cat is black, with lighter grey tufts by its ears and the top of its head. The cat has green eyes, rimmed with blue. Chipie has brown hair, some of it covering his forehead. He has thin eyebrows, and brown eyes like his hair. His coat has a light green inside, with darker strips that look like seam lines. The outside of his coat has a wavy striped pattern, with the stripes being a darker green, in contrast to the other lines, which are a lighter green.

He has red gloves covering his hands. It is revealed through sprites that he has a white undershirt. He has light beige slacks, with grey boots under them. it is hard to tell, but the boots appear to have a red zipper, and the bottoms are rimmed with red as well.

## Playstyle

**Max Abilities:**

* Charisma 25
* Intuition 39
* Logic 18.5
* Charm 31
* Performance 26.5
* Stealth 33.5

Chipie is an all-rounder, his worst abilities being merely average in comparison to other characters. He has particularly high Intuition, making it difficult to get away with lies when he's around. Though his Charisma and Logic aren't high enough to control the conversation, his Charm and Stealth help keep him in the game. He can be difficult to vote out. However, his Performance is only alright: it might be possible to catch him in a lie, and if so his low Logic can make it easy to degrade his Trust.

This can be tricky, however. Despite his middling Performance, Chipie is at his strongest when he's Gnosia. He seldom fake claims Roles, allowing him to slide under the radar and avoid getting caught in lies. His aforementioned Charm and Stealth make him tough to take down, made even more challenging by his propensity to collaborate and throw people off with Small Talk. If you're playing as a human, it's essential to watch Chipie carefully to make sure he's on your side. If you're playing as Gnosia alongside him, rejoice in having one of the best teammates you can land. Try not to get in his way, though; if he collaborates with someone (which he will almost always do as Gnosia - another thing to watch for) and his new ally doesn't like you, he won't sacrifice his collaboration to help you out. If you're playing as Gnosia against him, be careful not to directly attack him: he has the Don't Be Fooled skill and will destroy you with it if he catches you in a lie.

If both of you are human, keeping him around is a good idea. Not only is he likely to last until the end (unless he's on Guard Duty and the Guardian Angel isn't protecting him), but if you talk to him at night he'll often tell you about someone he's caught in a lie. He's just as good of an ally as he is worthy of an opponent, and thus is not a character to be overlooked no matter which side you're on.

## Trivia

* Chipie's name is a colloquial term in French meaning "bitch" or "brat". The developers chose it due to having seen it used as a cat name. In-universe it isn't Chipie's birth name and rather is the name he chose for his transition into cathood.
* Chipie is associated with the Western zodiac sign Gemini.
