Typically doesn't chew worms, just swallows them whole, raw and wriggling. Usually slurps them up like spaghetti, one at a time, taking a moment to savor each one before swallowing. Eats them with his hands, no silverware.
Is not opposed to, and is in fact rather casual about cooking with worms as an ingredient, or otherwise turning them into other dishes or condiments (such as Rouxls's Roux).
Rouxls is in fact a being composed of gelatinous slime (very popular headcanon despite a complete lack of canon evidence). Can change viscosity from changes in emotion, but not at will. The default is quite thick and gloopy, something "half-solid" like gelatin, tar or dough. Fairly matte and quite opaque; basically, he's made of oobleck. Only really starts to "melt" in extreme cases.
His slime body holds together pretty well, perhaps having some sort of outer membrane like an amoeba (?). I've tinkered with but never fully fleshed-out the idea of single-cell Rouxls... basically, he won't drip or anything. He remains one solid "mass" of liquid unless some is cut from him.
Cannot change his form aside from the viscosity thing; like, he can't enlarge a limb at will or anything. He's a humanoid in the shape he is just naturally.
Since he's made almost entirely of a "substance" rather than flesh and bone (btw he lacks bones and is thus technically an invertebrate), he can't really "work out" his muscles to become stronger, because he literally has no muscles to begin with. He's a magical being, he just kind of wills himself to move and it happens.
He CAN grow larger by eating more food than is needed and shrink by exerting more energy than he takes in, in a system that's somewhat analogous to fat storage, but not exactly the same. An increase in mass would make him stronger, but increase his food/water needs and weight, like somewhat meat creature muscles. His body "stores" excess nutrients, energy and water in additional slime, somewhat like meat creature fat (although there is a maximum amount of water that can be stored). It's weird and alien and shit. If he starved for long enough he could die.
So BASICALLY, like some sort of magical single-celled creature, he has no bones and is just a bunch of organs floating in jelly, a flying spaghetti monster encased in opaque Jell-O. He still shits and pisses, he still needs to breathe (and can become out of breath), has a heartbeat and veins but they're probably quite simple and where the bones would be. He's an anatomically "primitive" creature, I guess one could say...
Hair, brows and lashes are NOT made of slime. idk if they're really made of keratin... he has folicles or something akin to folicles that grows it. Basically the same as human hair, it grows endlessly, has no feeling and must be washed/brushed regularly. Undecided on body/facial hair, I kind of like the idea of him having a perpetually baby-smooth face but ALSO like the idea of a five-o-clock shadow or some pit/chest hair... btw, it's naturally white and glossy, just genetics.
Eyeballs, teeth, nails, reproductive organs and a lot of the inner mouth are also not slime. Face remains intact when he melts, dw they don't pop out or anything.
Rouxls is not one-of-a-kind, and belongs to a "species" of slimes. They come in many "body" and hair colours, with Rouxls being a pretty typical representation in that regard. They also tend towards tallish, narrow frames and elflike androgyny, so he's pretty average there too. Of course, size largely depends on diet, lifestyle and individual metabolism; Rouxls is still considered slim among his kind, a twink, but is not so thin as to be unhealthy (again, they can starve).
Has a sense of feel all over his body, but only his non-slime bits feel PAIN (so if you punched him, the impact would hurt, but if you cut him, you'd have to cut deep or in a vulnerable area for it to hurt). If some slime is removed, the hole fills in with other slime pulled from the rest of his form, and the removed slime will slowly melt as it "dies" (it can be reabsorbed for a period of time after removal). After removal, his form stabilizes and becomes "thinner" looking. He, in fact, often does this to himself on purpose, with various collection tools such as ice cream scoops. Why? Because...
...it can be used for various things! He uses it as calligraphy ink (makes it more personal, using his own shade of blue). It can be boiled to create dye, which he has used on his own clothing (why they match his skin!). Rouxls is very proud of being a slime and having such a rich, beautiful blue pigment (according to him). Basically an Etsy guy, sells his shit.
(the routine removal of excess mass also keeps him as trim as he is, although he'd never admit that about his "gloriouslie slimme, elegant figure"... bro loves his worms, is a duke and is generally A Muncher, although not to an extreme degree. Also doesn't deliberately exercise ever, zero stamina. On the flip side, he has an above-average but not insane metabolism... he just likes eating, and without his slimecrafting hobby would be slowly but surely affected by this)
HE'S TRANS! I 100% vibe with this common hc. He's got the hips, eccentric fashion sense and immense love of Being Male. Has top scars because they cauterized his chest after removing them to prevent the slime from filling back in! Unsure if he's still on T, but def was at some point because of his voice. Likely retains unaltered "hardware," but again, I'm unsure. Def still has periods, though. IS VERY HAPPY WITH HIS CURRENT BODY AND WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING (excepting his "hardware" if he had the chance, and maybe he has idk). HE LIKES BEING A PRETTY-BOY GLITTER TWINK. IT WAS HIS GOAL. VERY LITTLE DYSPHORIA REMAINS.
I'm def team one-black-eye-one-blue-eye, even though it was almost certainly a mere graphical error. One of his parents was probably pen ink black and gave it to him. He loves it.
btw, slimes reproduce in a very human-like fashion. No mitosis.
Like 95% gay, but has a very intense "thing" for Queen. By far the hottest thing to him is being a powerful, villainous ruler, and the scope and ruthlessness of her campaign was the best he'd ever seen (after spending so much time among King). He's pathetically down bad for her and wants to be her second-in-command more than anything.
Fruity, flirty and gnc af. Very stereotypical gay twink. Orders elaborate cocktails at bars, crossdresses (doesn't make him dysphoric anymore), says "slay" and stuff like that, paints his nails, enjoys fashion. Would be a great "gay best friend" if he had any friends. Despite his flirtiness, easily flustered if one flirts back. Blood is cyan, so he blushes cyan (forget who I picked that hc up from).
About that, identified as a gay man until he met Queen, which has sent him into a currently unresolved label crisis (she's the only woman he's ever been attracted to, but he's more strongly attracted to her than he's ever been to anybody before). Trying to play it cool. Is currently failing.
Probably mid-to-late twenties. Pretty young, but adult.
VERY vain. Intensive hair and skin(?)care routines. Was not this vain pre-transition, just loves being a handsome man so so much.
Tries to hide it (and fails) when in front of others, but cares deeply about Lancer. Has done the vast majority of parenting since King Lost It, and has grown to love Lancer as a son. Is not great at it in purely utilitarian terms (the "3 glasses of milk dinner" Lancer mentions was a Rouxls thing), but when nobody else is looking, is so, so affectionate.
