HON HON HON BONSOIR, this guy is… not hot. But he could be!
Looks: I based Chef Soufflé on mid-19th century beauty standards because the white chef uniform everyone is familiar with was popularized by Marie-Antoine Carême (a famous French chef). This time period, men typically aimed to have a pinched-waist look and appear more feminine (source, warning this source has nude Greek statues when discussing beauty standards before the 19th century.) Chef Soufflé clearly is the exact OPPOSITE of this appearance, appearing portly, stout, and fat. While this wouldn’t be inherently all bad, his unkempt appearance with his messy moustache and stained uniform (which can be explained by cooking, but not his moustache) leads to a deduction of points. The only saving grace here is his uniform being worn properly.
Personality: There is… a lot to unpack here. He enjoys his job and takes it with pride, but seems to struggle with interacting with others, especially with his own failures. See, he’s quick to anger when Luigi throws him off mentally with an unexpected appearance and he messes up his own dish, and experiencing high stress in the cooking industry isn’t all uncommon! However, Soufflé is taking his leisurely time cooking and smelling the fish he’s searing, so to go from 1 to 10 anger wise seems to allude to something more. There’s also some other strange attitudes such as hitting himself with his frying pan if he fails to land an attack on Luigi. What I’ve seen no one else talk about, however, is when Soufflé gets vacuumed up. While it seems plain visually, if you listen closely… Soufflé whimpers. While others before Soufflé’s boss fight grab their hat or yell for help in hopes someone else hears… he quietly whimpers to himself. Soufflé seems to suffer a lot from something unseen, and would definitely benefit from some form of therapy to help with his internalized issues. The score is somewhat alleviated by the possibility of gaining better coping skills, but is ultimately penalized for this current state now.
Survival Rate: this was fairly average and set in the middle. While a hit to the head from a cast-iron frying pan would do IMMENSE damage, he appears to not have any attacks not involving his frying pan. His frying pan is easy to knock from his hands or he pulled from such, hence a middle-most score.
Niceness Rate: Nope. As for now at least, but we are currently focusing on Chef Soufflé in the present. Like Dr. Potter, he focuses on his craft and has very little positive reactions with Luigi. Unlike Dr. Potter, Soufflé only acts shocked at Luigi’s appearance and only gets angry when he drops his dish, not already holding negative feelings against Luigi beforehand.
Overall, I feel Chef Soufflé could benefit from therapy and love himself first before all else! Though if he does learn to cope, and maybe clean his hair, he could easily get to someone’s heart through their stomach!
Aight soo the heading kinda says it all! Note that, I'm not doing the main characters, not bc I don't like em, but because there's already a TON of info and I just love me some boss characters. Also, this is just gonna be a miscellaneous list of my silly thoughts, and if you got any questions, feel free to ask! Without further ado... (long af, of course-)
Steward
-His real name is actually "Stewart", the thing is, everyone kept mixing up his name with his profession (even him) so now that's his name-
-He's a hardworking fellow, despite not really liking his job much...I mean, he's FINE with it, it's just a LOT of physical labor that. Probably isn't so easy with someone his size-
-Speaking of which, he is a Pathetic little meow meow. He's very Weak n stuff. But hey, at least he tries..
-He's actually quite shy and anxious, trying to mask this with a lil smile. He also tends to panic a lot, even over lil things. He still nice tho
-He died by fucking falling down the stairs with some heavy luggage that couldn't be held up by his weight any longer, said luggage falling and crushing him.
-Coffee adict
Chambrea
-finds cleaning to actually be really relaxing and a good way to destress. She tends to clean when stressed
-Maybe that's why she likes her job
-Dont get me wrong, she's quite a nice person, the thing is, Chambrea just REALLY likes digging through and examining people's stuff. She doesn't actually steal it or course (unless she's panicking in the moment). She's a curious person.
-But then again maybe if she wasn't so curious maybe she wouldn't have fucking died
-She also, surprisingly, likes listening to gossip.
Kruller
-Without those shades he's a huge fucking scardy cat bc the shades basically give him Confidence-
-He's actually a pretty nice guy once you get to know him, he just. Always trying to hide behind that Tough Guy facade-
-Despite being a security guard, he's actually deathly terrified of hurting someone ever. That's his absolute worst fear, even if said person is a shit person, he just can't bring himself to hurt someone-
-unfortunately that passive would be his tragic flaw and kill him
-He tends to stress eat
Chef Souffle
-He's french.
-A very grouchy and irritable guy. While he finds joy and passion in the culinary arts, he's not the biggest fan of people. Or people walking in when he's so peacefully tryna cook-
-hes actually a quite skilled cook! The ghosts like all the stuff he cooks, but perhaps his favorite, and most iconic, meal would be fish.
-He usually just hides away in the kitchen and cooks all the time. It's relaxing and also he hates interacting with people.
-He does that flambe technique all the time. Not only is it a very cool sight to see, but it also causes an extremely hazardous amount of smoke in the kitchen
-One time he fucked up the flambe, started a fire, and died from smoke inhalation
Amedus Wolfgeist
-Much to his dismay, a common nickname people give him is Ammy or Wolfie.
-Like Souffle, he's an incredibly irritable and pissy guy. He'd rather work on his music n stuff all day than interact with anyone.
-He's technically a composer, but also does stuff like conducting or playing piano.
-Very Refined and Intelligent. Of course, he sees himself as better that everyone else and enjoys an audience.
-He also puts on a bunch of concerts for the Resort! The ghosts actually really like his work-
-Austrian
King MacFrights
-Short and filled with Rage.
-Hes actually a king from the middle ages or so. He's a pretty decent one at that.
-He's actually insecure as hell about his size. Like, to compensate for it he wears super big armor, acts all big n pompous n powerful, and also sits in high places so nobody notices-
-He used to have a horse in his life and would often duel and joust. Speaking of which, he died when heroically springing into battle and fucking tripping and falling off his horse-
-He still, even in afterlife, demands being treated like royalty.
-hes Scottish and his first name is Rory I know I stole this
Dr. Potter
-has the title Dr in his name due to having a PhD in science. He's a botanist. A very good one at that. He's quite educated and experienced in his field.
-Hes quite nice and easy going. Very relaxed and sweet.
-Has a big obsession with caring for plants. He takes care of em like pets and also sometimes talks to em.
-Hes a reverse vegetation. He eats everything except for plant products bc they are his Friends.
-He was originally a guest that volunteered for growing plants n stuff to beutify the place a bit. Long story short he took it a bit too far in his suites, forced everyone to evacuate, and now it's his space. Of course, nobody really wanted to stop him bc they lowkey felt bad for telling off this nice old guy-
-He died peacefully and from natural causes. And by inhalation toxic spores from being around plants all the time too I guess-
-Smokes weed. /hj
Morty
-Also very friendly n nice! Hes quite sweet to everyone he comes into contact with. Of course, he never seems to get angry. Only Sad-
-gay for Luigi and I'm pretty sure that's canon ok-
-his movies are. Actually not the best. Sure the special effects n stuff are really well done, but like. The films themselves are terrible. But nobody's told him bc he's so sweet and happy and nobody wants to break the news to him-
-He can be incredibly Dramatic. Hell, it's pretty normal for his mood to go from super duper happy to super duper sad and vise versa in a matter of moments-
-Despite this, he'd much rather prefer to be the director and work in stage crew rather than actually act. He finds it to be more fun.
-idk how he died yet, but I think from an electrical studio accident that he caused-
Ug
-A common misconception about him is that he's stupid. He's actually pretty smart the thing is, he just died so fucking long ago he looks primitive at and doesn't know what to do in this modern world-
-He also craves violence. No reason other than he's just generally pissy and irritable
-i imagine he probably came from a tribe of hunter-gatherers
-mf got fucking killed by a t Rex. Idk how or why, but he did and he's pissed off about it
-He hangs in the museum bc 1 he doesn't know how, or wants, to communicate with the other ghosts and 2 he seems to resonate with looking at all the historic stuff that was seen as normal back in his day.
-I bet that if you did a dna test you'd realize that mf's genetics were distantly carried down to at least one other ghost-
Clem
-Dirty little rat mechanic. He scams people. Also, even though he's a pretty good mechanic, he purposefully does a shit job bc he's lazy-
-He swims in sewer water. He also has an obsession with floaties and rubber ducks. Speaking of which, he probably talks to them duckies when lonely
-Mf got banished to the boiler room bc it was SUPPOSED to be his job to keep it in order, but now it's just his hideout-
-Never showers or cleans. Biggest slob there is. Also probably acted as one of the factors to his death, but actually died from drowning in fucking sewer water-
-Has a thick ass southern us accent.
-Has a pet possum bc he thought it was a cat.
Serpci
-Fucking took over the suite she was staying in. Nobody bothered to stop her so now the entire level is hers now-
-was a Queen but lowkey, a shitty one who didn't really care much about her people-
-She also seems to have a strong symbiotic relationship with snakes. How or why this is, nobody knows.
-I assume she died from "natural" causes that were probably normal during her time period. But hey, at least she got a good burial
-Actually kinda a snooty bitch-
Captain Fishhook
-Deadass an actual shark. Like he wasn't a human in his life. He was always Shark Pirate.
-Like a true pirate, he swam throughout the ocean with his *smirks* salty sea dogs where they wrecked and attacked ships and looted em once they sunk. He was an excellent pirate.
-The Spectral Catch is a pirate themed restaurant so idk what he makes of it. Probably still acts like everything is Real and continues his pirate act just bc he misses those days-
-Was probably hunted and killed by, ironically, other pirates.
Nikki, Lindsey, and Ginny
-Deadass nobody really knows who's who. Also doesn't help that they keep swapping hairstyles for the funsies-
-Theyre quite mean and enjoying pulling practical jokes onto people bc it's funny. Also annoying people. That's fun too.
-are also skilled in Actual Magic and can do some pretty cool stuff. They host shows in their suite for quick cash and the Entertain the other ghosts
-One day they actually seriously fucked up their magic trick and ended with their collective death-
-They also seem to have an interest in astrology and surreal shit.
-Johnny Deepend
-Jock, gym bro.
-Incredibly obnoxious and loud. Mf likes to show off and also work out. Nobody likes him.
-Pretty fucking strong and buff n all from constantly body building, mostly for the show-
-Mf tried being slick one day in the pool and threw a volleyball that bounced off the wall and hit him back and he fell in the pool and died.
-Has very long flowing locks underneath that swimming cap.
DJ Phantasmagloria
-the kinda guy who pulls all nighters and just parties all the time.
-Actually insecure as hell about her real hair she thinks it looks dumb-
-Full time DJ and party-er. She's actually pretty good at both and was definitely a riot at all the parties she went to-
-definitely a 70s-80s disco era kid.
-oh apparently partying all the time and never doing any actual self care is bad for your health and probably killed her. But hey, at least she can party even more in the afterlife!
