Personality
--Pride on Service. As a cook, Claud takes pride in the food he makes of course that probably goes without saying, but more than that he actually enjoys cooking as an activity and not just as an occupation. Despite his laid back nature when it comes to most things, including making food- he's quite strict when it comes to the quality of food. Seeing his food as a sort of art- if he messes up he wants to start all over from the beginning- because of this he had a bad habit of tossing the food out if he thinks it looks terrible. This isn't his only offence to wasting food, he takes criticism pretty hard, especially if said critic isn't even a cook. Although very calmly if his food is insulted in his eyes- he'd take the plate from the offender and toss it overboard if they are on a ship or simply in the trash in any other situation, he can be talked out of doing things like this- but it's often difficult as stubborn as he tends to be.
--Defensive. With a colorfully queer heart comes confusion to those who have spent too long in a world of black and white- but Claud is no teacher. To be specific, Claud has no problem correcting others on his gender and actually doesn't even get all too upset over the confusion if there would be any. Something that grinds his gears is something more personal, when he is called a 'pervert'. Calling Claud a pervert is the sure fire way to get him to get almost comically upset- but he's a patient man, and won't dwell on it for long- but instead of a simple correction he insteads shout something along the lines of. "WHO'RE YOU CALLING A PERVERT!?" or any variation of the term. This could also be followed up by an attack if it's an enemy who says this or even a playfully jab at a friend who would say something they would probably figure would upset him if they know him well enough.
--Favorites. Although Claud will usually cook anything for anyone, he himself as a preference for what he will usually consume. In short, it's fruits but there are a few he loves more above others. He loves perfectly ripe bananas and fresh watermelons. With bananas it's quite an odd love, the taste to him is average but what he loves about the fruit is how he can sort of experiment how he peels it down, it reminds him of taking the petals off of a flower. With Watermelons it's exactly the opposite, he loves the taste but hates the seeds that get in his mouth when he eats them and spits out the seeds after eating the fruit. While Bananas and watermelons are his favorite he does love other fruits too, and eats them similarly to how he eats watermelons, first eating the fruit then spitting out the pulp, peel or seeds.
Appearance
--Claud is a man standing at five feet and eight inches. He has a dainty build to his body, the only depth of thickset being in his thighs. His skin is of a fair peanut or Tawny brown. A characteristic of his face is how his eyebrows are usually always curved in the same way despite whatever mood he is in, curved upward as if he's worried. As a long arm he of course...has long arms, but he relocates his joins up above his shoulders so it often appears as if he has regular human arms with REALLY high shoulders. He has naturally vivid pink hair with a side fade- in the middle of the fade is cut in the shape of a heart. On his face, Claud wears a gothic paint below his right eye, complemented by some dark eyeliner and muted lipstick. On his right ear is also a blue diamond shaped earring. His sense of fashion is gothic lolita, wearing a gothic dress with accented frills around the neck and the tail of the dress. He also has a big blue bow on the back of his dress, along with blue boots and a parasol to go with it. One other notable part of his attire is the fishnet stockings he wears under his boots and beneath his dress.

Background
--Kidnapped at a young age, Claud was planned to be apart of the following generation of agents to be used in cipher pol, at the time- the kidnappers working for did not know Claud was a long arm. Before he was kidnapped, Clauds parents didn't want a child holding them back from their modern desires, so they left him at the door of a neighboring home. Unfortunately for Claud, it was from one home to the next almost immediately, the very young Claud had barely bonded as a priority to his foster parents when he was moved again, at the time- it seemed like he just ended up in the wrong house at the wrong time.
Upon being taken back to the headquarters the uniform Cipher Pol realized the child was a long arm- it cam as a surprise but they didn't drop their plans and instead chose to salvage the situation. Growing up, of course Claud would be put through intense training at a young age to embed the discipline of a soldier into his mind, in addition to this he also learned to readjust the extra joints in his arms to appear as if he was a regular human with extended shoulders. In his training, Claud was a step ahead of most trainees his age, primarily because he seemed to be born with inhuman strength that only got better as he matured regardless of training, giving him time to focus on other disciplines.
Eventually came time for Claud to learn infiltration and so he was stationed on an island with the goal of embedding himself into the society, he would have to find a disguise, learn a non-combat related skill and act like a real person the exact opposite of most of his training so far. Enough of Clauds humanity remained where he had been able to make these judgements on his own, the first thing that caught his attention was learning how to cook, and he chose a maids outfit as his disguise. Cipher pol helped him fabricate a story that helped him get a job as a cook and server at a struggling restaurant, as far as the restaurant was concerned his cooking skills were amazing and seemingly without flaw. Apart of this was probably mostly due to the standards of the village, but in his training he would toss out dish after dish if it was off by the recipe by a smidge, even now he's not fully contempt with most of his dishes, although he followed the recipe he doesn't feel they are perfect enough.
One day, the island receives some peculiar visitors they seemed to be similar to the cipher pol in how they had an aura of secrecy about them, but something was off. Claud found himself approached by the odd figures, they told him how he might be a suspect missing child- interested he wanted to know how they would come to this idea that it was him. They explained how he matched the profiles of one of the lost children, his age from the time he was supposedly kidnapped, being a longarm and where he was in the world. The people investigating him were not just some random investigators, they were apart of the revolutionary army and his supposed foster parents- of course, he had no such attachment to him nor they to him.
Above all this information, what really conflicted Claud was how he should feel about all of this- while it was true as far as he was concerned his past was a great mystery all he could recall was training in CP, but with no emotional attachment to his past...did he care? he was where he was now- there was no changing that. Claud eventually came to stand in the middle between aiding the world government and opposing them. What ultimately lead to his decision was between all he learned as trainee in the cipher pol, the morals he learned as a maid in a restaurant- and the information told to him by the revolutionaries, he would oppose the WG.
With the help of the revolutionaries he would defeat his previous superiors from the Cipher Pol and flee the island with them. When they were home free, Claud would have one lingering question answered, how they knew he was kidnapped by the Cipher Pol specifically. Claud learned that the revolutionaries who had also been his foster parents were special agents on the island investigating many disappearances of children on the island, for a while the island was in fear of the unnamed boogie man with very few rumors that it was the government taking children for their experiments to improve their army. Claud would never have guessed his history would be such a mess, and even know he thought to second guess his decision- but he was a defect with the secrets to their martial Arts...there was no turning back, at least not without significant punishment, Claud certainly chose the hardest difficulty in life today.
