[quote=VitaVitaAR] @Ardent Dawn: Okay, um, for your Doll, I'm kind of confused about the appearance thing. They don't create a form upon entering the world, they have it beforehand.[/quote] That's fine - it was to show her general attitude rather than to imply anything else. Here's the updated version of my Doll Master: Name: Donovan Ross Age: 24 Gender: Male Appearance: [url=http://beverlyfarr.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/thornton-smiling.jpg ]“The world’s just waiting for someone with the audacity to fleece it bare.”[/url] Personality: Living off the adrenaline rush of his extravagant and audacious schemes, Donovan fancies himself as a man of opportunity – sometime living five or ten minutes ahead of the brainless masses and fully willing to exploit his lead. Advocating a reckless and hedonistic lifestyle, he maintains that every person’s life consists solely of the opportunities that they seize for themselves, with no amount of wealth or good fortune being a worthy substitute for the simple willingness to gamble. His jaunty swagger and fast-talking nature have often caused him trouble in the past – it’s hard to remain inconspicuous with that sort of demeanour – but his intermittent moments of spectacular success have been enough to prevent his ego from deflating through times of trouble. Although he respects displays of conviction and daring from others (holding such individuals as kindred souls), Donovan shows little regard for those content to sit on their laurels in life and open contempt for those too afraid to roll the dice and chase their own individual stake in the world. Backstory: Born into a lower-class family of office clerks and with no intention of leading such a soul-destroying lifestyle, Donovan struck out during his teens as a wheeler-dealer and conman. Although burdened with an unstable income and little in the way of financial security, he scrimped by for several years until his gamble was repaid when he successfully swindled a factory owner into purchasing a set of ‘stolen’ (entirely forged) automobile blueprints and skipped town before he was any the wiser. With the capital to invest into contacts, accomplices and credible front as a legitimate businessman, he soon found himself catapulted into a society of upper-class sophistication beyond his wildest dreams. Overstepping himself almost immediately with his typical gusto, his fortunes abruptly came to an end when he sought to pass off incriminating letters regarding a noble’s marital indiscretions and was confronted at his home by none other than the rapier-armed nobleman in question. Fleeing out of the window and across the street on a wave of glorious adrenaline, Donovan was met at the end of the alleyway by a mysterious creature unlike any that he had ever encountered. Still dizzy with elation at his escape, Donovan accepted the creature’s offer, making the beginning of a glorious partnership. Skills: Donovan’s main source of income in recent years comes from his thorough understanding of the black market and the web of extravagance surrounding the upper classes – through such means, he can best employ his ability to access and manipulate the whims of the gullible. Although reasonably competent in hand-to-hand combat, he favours more of a ‘duck and cover’ approach to fighting and prefers to extract himself from close quarters at the earliest opportunity.
