Personality

Combs Estes (they/them) is the most stylish player the Steaks have ever encountered. With their sharp suits and ever-changing hairstyle, Estes has caused quite a stir in the Steaks fandom since joining the team in Season 4.

Estes is said to have been born with a full head of hair and a comb in each hand, one labelled "Unbreakable," the other labelled "Nonflammable." Growing up in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina, Combs was fascinated with the city's Art Deco and Art Nouveau architecture and the many museums. Estes began attending museum galas and performances at the Fundación Italia at a young age, which is where they first began to develop their fashion sense, favoring carefully-tailored suits and a tall pompadour with shaved sides.

Combs Estes joined the Steaks when Stevenson Monstera was incinerated by a rogue umpire. Estes was caught in the crossfire of the umpire's bolt of fire, and while they avoided incineration, the fire did burn off all their hair, which has not grown back due to the demonic nature of the fire bolt. Estes would say, during their first press conference, that they felt this was a positive development, "providing [them] with a fresh canvas to create whatever art is most moving." They have carried this philosophy forward into their blaseball career, wearing an assortment of different wigs and outfits, emblazoned with Steaks iconography per the rules, to create the appropriate dramatic effect needed for the game, whether that be to inspire their teammates or to intimidate or seduce their rivals. At particularly dramatic moments, Estes has even been known to remove their wig entirely and let their bald head be a statement of unmitigated confidence and determination.

Trivia
