• Hudson enlisted in the Great War in 1916 when he was 21 and instantly regretted it, but remained with the military until he was discharged in 1919
• His interest in art and satire partially stemmed from his time spent working at as printer in his small town; they often printed many newspapers that he would read in his spare time, so he got his hands on a lot of political and social satire
• He likes to paint his face and even he doesn't really understand why
• He thinks drawing still life is incredibly boring and does it reluctantly whenever he has to—he prefers drawing lively and/or experimental scenes, often depicting people interacting

• He has two scars on his face: one on the right side of his mouth and one on his left cheek
• His face makeup is always optional in either outfit unless stated otherwise
• The paint smudges on his secondary outfit are optional but preferred
• You don't have to draw him smoking if you don't want to
• The bottoms of his pants are baggy and sort of scrunched up around his shoes

Hudson Rodgers is a somewhat mundane advertising artist based in England. After moving to England (from Canada) after being discharged from service in the Great War, Hudson spends most of his days hunched over a desk or craning his neck at a canvas working on various projects. Hudson is asocial but deeply observant, which benefits him artistically, but perhaps he judges people too quickly based on his observations alone. Despite having his art displayed publicly—such is the nature of his work—he's a very modest person who doesn't particularly like the limelight. He's the type of guy who clocks in, does his job well, gets paid and goes home, mostly uninterested in the bustling office atmosphere around him. That was the case until he was assigned to work on a poster for an upcoming film starring German actor Ivor Weidt. Not entirely pleased with Germans after his experience in the Great War, he was less than amused to be working not only for German actors, but for a German director. However, his life was flipped upside-down when he found himself catching feelings for Ivor, who immediately attached himself to Hudson after being enamoured by his work. If you told a recently discharged Hudson in 1919 that he would find himself romantically involved with a German actor in the near future, he would have scoffed, laughed, or maybe even punched you in the jaw. It's strange how throws its curveballs.
