for the ask, I meant the off game Louis, my apologies for not clarifying
Alright! Here's some info about Louis the Elsen
Louis acts very similarly to the stereotypical elsen. He is anxious, introverted, and while good intentioned, usually comes across as awkward/weird.
He is totally blind and has been since birth. He is able to vaguely "see" levels of light, but he relies mostly on his cane for getting around.
He is prone to near-constant bleeding (most often nose bleeding), which is why his shirt usually has at least a little blood on it. He gets very flighty/apologetic whenever it happens around others. He can tell it unnerves other elsen around him.
He's originally from Zone 1, but now lives in Zone 2 due to Dedan's strict rules making Zone 1 too inhospitable (ableism on Dedan's part, but since being transferred to Zone 2, he's not complaining)
Louis is the ONLY person who knows Bandit's actual name (Varik Fassad), and the only person who knew him that's still around before he started going by Bandit. They like to stick together.
That's the basics, but if you have any more specific burning questions about Louis (or any of my characters) I'll do my best to answer ^^
This.... this means so much to me OP. Thank you for sharing your story.
I think as a creator, this is the best compliment someone can ever receive on their work. I am REALLY happy my game touched you this much. Really couldn't have asked for more!! ❤️💖
Your art is so beautiful, the last two pieces are really brilliant, as well as the one with the King! The silhouettes are striking and intense. And Pilot with caramel trying to calm down to the zone Saturn Elsen?? His expression? This art tugs at all my heart strings... SOBS. I love all of these artworks so SO much! ❤️
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
WOOO THE FIRST ONE IS HERE!!!
Funny enough, but my first ever drawing based on Confinium was with Navigator and not the Pilot (who still is my favourite to this day ABSOLUTELY ISN'T OBVIOUS YEAH). So, this Navi drawing was made in the summer of 2018 in my first sketchbook. Damn, I was 15 at the time...
I loved every character in the game, but Pilot resonated with me more than anyone else. Maybe his character is just something that is closer to me personally. So, I liked Pilot so much that I made a felted toy after him. It's still one of my favourites (I also have felted Zacharie and Bad Batter's head, but I consider them ancient at this point, and they look like they have seen some shit) and I brought it with me to the Black Sea one time. Me and my family traveled there by the car, 3 000 km to the sea and then 3 000 km back to my hometown, so that lil' guy have seen a bunch of russian cities and beautiful landscapes on our way B)
I also made some of my drawings in not so pleasant periods of my life (specifically the two last ones). I guess I got some sense of relief from drawing certain scenes from the game, trying to put my feelings in the atmosphere of those pieces.
I still come back to the game from time to time. The first time I played Confinium was in 2018, but only a year ago I found this "Bendy and the Ink Machine" song reference when you make Pilot observe the sheeps for a couple of times. That's actually what I really like about the original OFF itself and It's fangames. You can come back to the game and still manage to find something new for yourself each time you visit it.
By the way, Penta (my fav OFF OC) was originally made to be a Confinium OC, BUT THEN SOMETHING WENT HORRIBLY WRONG and now he's a character of his own story, which I want to make real someday hopefully.
And for the last, I also still have some old cosplays on Pilot and Omni in Pony Town eheheh
So that concludes my expirience with the game and it's characters, I guess. Thank you Xin for making this amazing game. Even if it's not completed, It still brings joy and happy memories to me and a lot of people who played it. Thank you for leaving a print on my teenage years. When you ever feel down, I hope that you will remember that there are people from all around the globe that appreciate you and the things you do. You matter.
(If anyone wants to do something similar to this post, you're more than welcome! No need for tagging or anything, just make your fav creators feel appreciated by telling your own stories and some nice words to them!)
