Rouxls Kaard

Rouxls Kaard is a prominent side character in DELTARUNE - Chapter 1. Initially an amusing yet seemingly threatening antagonist who's puzzles and henchmen attempt to impede the progress of the Delta Warriors, he's quickly shown to be less of a threat than he would like; when he runs out of challenges for them to overcome, he realigns himself to their side, claiming to have been merely testing them from the start. From then on, he's an affable ally and even lets Kris and friends use his store, preparing them for the climactic battle against the King of Spades.

Appearance Edit
Rouxls is a tall, humanoid Darkner who's entire body is a glowing, deep blue with white accents. He has long, white hair that flows outward in both directions, long enough to reach his back. He seems to wear a 'suit' of sorts, but the color of it matches that of his skin. Nonetheless, it seems to have long sleeves and pants, though any other details are hard to make out. His eyes are simple white shapes with a blue pupil in the middle, and his oft-smiling mouth has a recognizable 'drip' through the right side of it.

In his Shop in the Card Castle, all the blue in his design is replaced with black.

Powers and Abilities Edit

 * Darkner's Will - As a Darkner, Rouxls is impervious to the affects of mind control and assassination, as seen when Susie tries to get the jump on him on the third floor of the Card Castle.
 * Worm Control - He seems to have a light supernatural ability over worms, able to make them "squirmeth and wormeth" back and forth on command.

Trivia Edit

 * The skin-tone suit Rouxls usually wears is what he usually refers to as his "Birthing-Day Body". It was made by himself and Ralsei for a dinner party and according to Ralsei, he is physically incapable of taking it off. Ralsei also mentions that at least Rouxls 'marinates joyously' in it, meaning that he wears it in the pool.
 * In contrast to other Darkeners, Rouxls Kaard speaks with a very light verbal tick, occasionally replacing or adding in an extra letter to very few words, being the only character in the game to do so. (Ralsei stops speaking in Lightener slang when he, Kris and Susie are ambushed by C. Round). Interestingly enough, the verbal tic used for his dialogue is also seen on the Rules Cards of most card games.
 * Rouxls has never seen a Lightener before seeing Kris, as said by Ralsei and evidenced by Rouxls mistaking a dog for a Lightener while not reconizing that Kris is a Lightener upon seeing them.
 * Top Chef implies that Rouxls regularly jumps out of the window in his kitchen, as according to him, "Mama Miba! This Duke of Puzzles is being-a real Snuke of Muzzles! Not blue, not snue! Mama mila!"
 * According to Ralsei, Rouxls finds difficulty in "interesting" places, as the day before they met Kris, Rouxls got stumped trying to "solve" the economic crisis of Darktown.
 * During Ralsei's conversations with Susie through the locked elevator, despite not knowing each other's names, Ralsei had told Susie about Rouxls. In the third Chaoter, Rouxls was delighted when "Lancer's Most Delightfully Devillish Acquiantance" (Susie) knew who he was.
 * Rouxls mentions in a phone call outside Seam's shop that he (Rouxls) has an imaginary store that sells worms. This is opposed to his real store in the Card Castle, which does not sell worms.
 * Interestingly, worms can still be seen on display in his store. They are not for sale, however.
 * Rouxls dreams of boating on an ocean on the Surface with the wind in his hair and the moon on his skin (despite being a Darkener and, as such, the rays of the sun that would reflect off the Moon being lethal). This dream may come true in the second Chapter, according to a post on creator Toby Fox's Twitter.
