General Information
First name: Kane Alan Thibodeaux
Being no stranger to the south, I decided on a rugged name which seems to have been the trend here for maybe 20 years. Alan I found fitting because it’s a homonym for ‘Allen Parish’ but also the name of a plethora of Catholic saints. As a local (and as someone who is related to those with the surname), I knew that Thibodeaux is popular within the state.

Age (humanverse): 21
Date of birth: April 30th
(Which is the date of statehood.)
Race: Caucasian
Authors Charles L. Dufour and Walter G. Cowan (as well as me) agree with this definition:
Creole- meaning descendant of colonial Louisiana settler, or being a settler
Therefore one is able to be French Creole, African Creole, Spanish Creole, German Creole, etc. It’s a blanket-term for someone who has blood derived from the first settlers of Louisiana. Therefore I’d label him as Creole and Acadian (a fancy term for Cajuns, which contrary to popular belief, do not come directly from France but rather Canada). I’m sure his percentages are split between French, African, Spanish, Native, and German.
