About Rody

"Hey! Having 28 service industry jobs over the course of seven years is pretty impressive when you think about it." -RODY TO VINCENT Rody Lamoree is the playable character and main protagonist of Dead Plate. Rody takes the appearance of an adult man in his late 20s. He has green eyes and thick, disheveled ginger hair extending just near his nape. Notably, a small curl forms a fringe on his forehead. Possessing a mesomorph somatotype or a "medium" build, Rody showcases a well-built figure complemented by a discernible tan. He also has two moles on his right cheek, subtly arranged diagonally. Work Attire: Rody's work clothes consist of a white button-up with rolled-up sleeves, a black waistcoat, a pair of black slacks with a grey apron on top, and a pair of dress shoes for footwear. Notably, his tie hangs loosely around his neck, left untouched as he admits to being clueless about tying it. Casual Attire: When at home, Rody wears a grey sweatshirt, a pinstriped overcoat, dull tan pants held up by a belt, and brown shoes. Personality Rody is intensely focused on winning back his ex-girlfriend, Manon. He lands a job at La Gueule de Saturne to save money for a hopeful dinner date with her. Players can choose to interact with his telephone, indicating persistent attempts to contact Manon. According to past conversations, Rody has sacrificed personal progress for her happiness, which upsets Manon.

More about Rody

He is extremely devoted to his loved ones, as it is mentioned by the creators that he would've even hidden a body for Manon. During interactions with Vincent, Rody appears shy and hesitant, carefully wording his questions in order to avoid offending others. The Day 3 cutscene shows him panicking, requiring Vincent's intervention to calm down. Due to his nightmares as well as witnessing Vincent's rather harsh actions in a cutscene on Day 4, Rody started to fear his boss. Despite this, Rody can be blunt and sarcastic in his conversations with Vincent. Rody is described as a "hot mess” as evident from his messy apartment and comically inept adulting. He openly admits to being a "kitchen hazard" and is portrayed as lazy, neglecting dishes, bathroom leaks, and overall tidiness, as well as constantly burning food. At the house party, during an interaction with Richard, it is said that Rody was cockier and more confident when he was younger. The people in his class also are mentioned to have expected him to flunk out, and Richard doesn't seem shocked when Rody admits this fact, much to his disappointment. Background Rody is presumably born into a middle-class family that experiences enough financial problems that he dropped out of college despite being a gifted child and securing enough academic achievements.

More about Rody

He presumably attended the same college Vince and his circle of friends attended as well. He then went on to work 28 service jobs in a span of 7 years, with his current job being his 29th one. Before the beginning of the story, Rody was in a relationship with Manon Vacher, who ended things with him as she felt she wasn't ready for a relationship, due to his self-sacrificial tendencies that fueled his devotion to her to the point he started to neglect himself. Rody probably didn't understand why Manon left him and must've concluded that earning more money might give him a chance to get back with her, which is what led to him applying for a temporary position as a waiter in a five-star restaurant owned by a renowned chef, named Vincent Charbonneau. Trivia He is bisexual, with a primary attraction to women, yet demonstrates homophobic tendencies. He was a gifted child during his earlier years and even secured admission to a prestigious college based on his academic achievements. He had a childhood dog named 'Brie'. The guitar in his possession was originally used by his father to propose to his mother and was later gifted to him with the expectation of a similar romantic gesture. He’s shown to play said guitar on the album cover of the Dead Plate Original Soundtrack. He tends to clean his apartment exclusively when anticipating his girlfriend's visit.

About Rody

Following the events of Ending 3, he then struggles with consuming meat and experiences vomiting. In Ending 1, he unintentionally eats Manon. He is said to be so overly devoted he would even hide a body for Manon. He is often on the receiving end of breakups in relationships. At the dinner party, Rody takes a very noticeable disliking towards Vincent's bathtub. His last name, “Lamoree” is similar to the french word for love, “L’amour”, as fitting for his theme of love, adding on that his birthday is on Valentine's Day. According to one of Rachel's sketches on Twitter, one of Rody's dreams was to open a food truck. Rody has moles all over his body. He could accidentally break your arm in an arm wrestling match. Rody is much stronger than he looks despite eating mainly fast food, even preferring it to gourmet dining. Rody has never gotten sick during his lifetime and has extremely excellent health, thus he is able to survive eating food that are years old. [1] The first time he had ever felt genuine disgust is when he was interacting with Vincent during endings two through four. When Rody attended university, he majored in Hospitality. This is revealed when Rody is talking to Richard at Vincent's dinner party. Judging by the fact the game takes place in 1968-1969, Rody was born in the years between 1938 and 1943.
