Le Pouce

Character story :

Le Pouce is a french escapee from The Escapists 2 that came into Streets of Rogue. Why ? Le Pouce loves fighting. He loves fighting so much, he actually punched the crap out of any living thing he came across in any prison ever. Whether it's a cell mate, a guard, law enforcement or even an alien, this bald man, resembling a thumb (hence the name Le Pouce) would fight with him and knock him out. This is the reason why he switched games : no one was left to beat up. Some daring people however have heard rumours of Le Pouce and are now hunting him down, not because of the money, but because of the threat. His mission is to find and beat them up.

The escapee has incredible strength obtained from his numerous battles and can now destroy the bodies of his opponents and resist almost anything that comes in his path, including bullets.
To add more to his strength, he battled against aliens which gave him access to a tech that can suck the vitality out of any living being he hits. Moreover, his experience in prison has made him immune to camera detection, and despite his muscle mass, he isn't as loud and dumb as you would think he is.

Le Pouce doesn't need anyone or any thing along side him because he is feared, and any alliance would be an anchor to his fighting spree. Any weapons other than his fists and his thumb-like head are very situational and not recommended, since it would be a disgrace to his name and stature.

Credits to Hern1806 for making this character what he is (he liked to fight people in TE2 okay.. like a lot).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is how played Le Pouce on my test run, which went very well even when overwhelmed by more than 10 gun-armed NPCs. This is a list of traits I selected (28 traits minimum) along with already incorporated traits.

Vital Traits (in importance order) :

- Flesh Feast+, Bullet Sponge+ (unless you want to have a very bad time at levels 4 and 5)
- Impatient Lunge (for more headbutts)
- Knuckley+ (for one shots with headbutt)
- Floats Like Butterfly+, Long Lunge+ (for A LOT of mobility, especially with headbutt)
- Un-Crits (it's OP...)
- Slippery Target + (less bullets to hit you)
- Tank-Like (to reach the armed enemy)

Secondary Traits (in importance order) :

- Super Studious (for more traits)
- Increased Crit Chance+ (for a chance to one shot with headbutts if Kunckley+ is not obtained)
- Blaster Survivor (for those "Destroy explosive barrels" missions)
- Longer Status Effects+ (if you obtain Giant Pill or Critter Upper :))
- Shop Drops+ (pretty good for pills or food, if needed)

Other Traits (no importance order, you choose what you like) :

- Backstabber (if you can hit the back)
- Block Breaker
- Butterfinger-er
- Don't make me angry, I'm Outtie (you really won't need it)
- Drug-a-lug
- Durabilitacious
- G-P-Yesss
- Kneecapper
- Knockback King, Wall's Worst Nightmare+ (it's fun when you got 'em both)
- Modern Warfarer (useless)
- On The House (useless)
- Prickly Skin
- Teleport-Happy
- Trust Funder
- Wall Walloper

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recommended gameplay :

You should play Le Pouce as he likes, with fists and headbutts only. If you don't like that type of gameplay, Durabilitacious+ is advised. However, playing him without any weapon gives him more opportunity to sell more stuff and rapidly upgrade his traits. Since many people run away and knock you back, spamming headbutts is necessary. If you have Floats Like Butterfly+ along with Long Lunge+, it will be easier to reach your opponents with normal melee only, giving you more life steal in the process. To summarise, headbutts for damage, melee for life steal.

Challenge : Kill anyone you can with your fists and your bald head only (or Le Pouce will very likely despise you).
