+ Jolly / Quirky - Morbid
The Hypno might be old and have to use a cane to properly get around without being winded, but this old person still knows how to have a good time. Generally jovial, it is hard to get on their bad side unless they are just in the mood to cause some trouble or they get a little peckish. They are always offering to cook for people out of habit, being the Ex-Chef and all, but their food can look a little...strange sometimes. Best not to glance towards their cookbook and reveal their secret ingredients. You may not like what you read.
They are quite content with having hosted the Banquet with Clip, as they see this as a star achievement in continuing to be a proper chef even if it isn't on the Manor's paycheck. Cooking was always a passion of theirs, so they aren't keen on giving up on it.
Backstory and Curse (before becoming monster): As a human, Buffet was a philosopher and lover of space. He owned his own tower out in an area with little light pollution and would gaze into the stars with his modest telescope while sipping tea and writing down anything that came to mind. One day he had spilled some of his tea while spacing out and ended up slipping over his balcony's edge, plummeting to his death. His curse was that he had forged the will of his grandfather so he could receive all of his riches in order to live comfortably without a job, rather than leaving the money to his poorer family who desperately needed it (Theft).
As a tenant, his head was always in the clouds or he was stuck in a good book if not trying to communicate with someone else. Thanks to the way he worded his sentences, he was hard to talk to and thus wasn't very popular, but was rather intelligent and usually keen on the goings on about the manor before most others were. He ended up becoming the head chef for a while thanks to his tendency to cook lots of dishes in his spare time. He would take on a variety of helpers who would eventually "disappear" under mysterious circumstances. Eventually was surpassed by his favorite apprentice, a slightly younger Seth, who had great contempt for his teacher's lack of passion in most areas of cooking. He disappeared while investigating the pool, and hadn't been seen since, his memory long forgotten.
Personality as a Mutant:
+ Intelligent, Optimistic, Quirky
Rather well-educated but a bit crazy, this individual is well-spoken, but too often will quote things that do not make sense to the situation for anyone to understand him properly. Despite never smiling and being rather deadpan, they makes short comments of optimism usually starting with "well at least-" towards their team rather often, able to see a bright side to anything that happens around them.
/ Apathetic, Dreamy, Imaginative
Not their face nor their body language reveals anything about the inner workings of this person's mind. They are an enigma to even their team, and they prefer it this way. They often delve into "what ifs" and love imagining new ways to hunt and kill and torture their prey, sharing them with the group as often as they are allowed.
- Cruel, Tough, Unrelenting
"Buffet" is named after a form of violence, and as such they enjoy using their psychic powers to relentlessly attack their prey and mess with their head. He doesn't mind drawn out battles and even comes to enjoy them, being able to take a beating as he dishes out his own brand of pain. Despite his lack of physical strength, he is harder to beat than he looks, his desire to cause pain more than making up for his shortcomings.

The little fellow was always a bright ray of sunshine even if he was weirded out by Buffet at times. He will miss the little guy's company, but a good meal lasts the test of time. He will be sure to have a record of the Banquet events and recipe in his cookbook so he remembers exactly how tasty the soup was and what he think did the trick.
She exiled him from her castle only to be felled and then re-instated into the Manor. For that, Buffet had a good laugh, and thinks it was enough torture for her to go through. He doesn't see any potential friendship to kindle, so he often doesn't bother with her.
Buffet's little star pupil, they had such glorious plans for him...before they were cast into the sea. They hope to continue those plans or at least see to it that he is comfortable as a chef and gets everything he needs to continue making top quality dishes.
