Been wanting to do some Hcs for a while and I've always been interested in the idea of Toppat Charles. So I did my own take on the idea. May add and or update later since it's all up in the air here, done for fun really.
Also, this is inspired by the Au; Single Father Terrence by @dark-twist-fairytaless (hope you don't mind). Since I can never get the Au out of my head. Where Terrence Suave is the adoptive father of Burt and in this Au, Charles as well.
Warning Long Post Down Below;
The youngest to ever become leader in Toppat history; was appointed at the age of 17 yo due to the previous leader, his adoptive father, Terrence, having mysteriously disappeared without a trace
Due to being the clan's leader so young did have an impact on them. Constantly they feel pressured to be perfect and happy all the time 'keep smiling and stay positive' is their spoken motto
Does suffer from severe imposter syndrome, anxiety, depression, sleep deprivation, and mild snaps of spitting anger among many other hidden issues
Had a very close relationship with his father, seen as the baby of the clan, nicknamed 'Angel' so he was quite spoiled by everyone, but mostly by Terrence
^ So Charles was devastated when hearing the news of his father's sudden, unanswered disappearance and then further stressed over taking over the leader title so soon and young
Charles has an even closer relationship with his older sibling, Burt, practically glued to the hip, both are the other's emotional support
Now at the age of 23yo, Charles gained the clan's respect, making a respected, terrifying name for themselves both in the clan and outside it.
Never bothered to assign himself a right hand, in the beginning in his hope thought his father would return. Then later, just wasn't interested in the idea and nobody really caught their attention either
^ Although he does have Reginald, the previous right hand to supervise over and act as the 'placeholder' for the empty title
^ Besides Reginald, there was one person Charles did want to be his right hand and that was his older brother, Burt though the other declined the offer. So it's up in the air
Nobody takes Charles seriously at first by their short, soft appearance and seemingly cheerfully upbeat attitude, sharp toothed smile always on his face. Though underneath, that positive mask, is a sharp witted, calculated young man who's extremely loyal and protective over the clan
Used to and still can be reckless in their decision making as well, as very adventurous. A very familiar trait given his father's deeds though thankfully been properly molded by Reg to be useful
Overall Attire; Color scheme is mainly white and gold with sprinkles of red meant to resemble the appeal of Angels/Angelics. White top hat with gold trims connected with a red headset. A white suit with thin gold trims, with a fitted red vest corset, black button up shirt underneath, and a white large coat that almost drapes on the floor
^ Tends to dress more flamboyant and relaxed than not whenever given the chance, for example; heels, makeup, jewelry. Or tight, body hugging outfits.
^ Honestly, Charles is more fluid in how they present themselves and genuinely dress how they please. Clothing isn't held hostage by gender for them, anything goes
