Hmm.

My two main concerns are that I'm not completely sure if railroad spikes count as nails, though giant nails could work, and that he does need to be either crafty or skilled enough to keep up with Dolls to be able to use these weapons on them and I want to make sure that's there.

I said he's a genius. Also railroad spikes ARE giant nails. I just call them railroad spikes because it's an easily identifiable term for a thick nail.

Okay, so he's not one of the types that directly fights Dolls, then(as in he uses tricks and stuff instead)? Just making sure.

Mostly. The Stinger is basically a self defense weapon. He wouldn't use it in actual combat (Especially because he has the Final Word!)

Okay, accepted.

Alright, so, I figured the gloves could hinder and help him at the same time. The user loses the ability to see, but their abilities (i.e: Hikoto's FaceChange ability) would become stronger. Or his bo-staff skills could become better. Whichever would work. Any thoughts or should I just drop the gloves all together?

@Major Ursa
Well I think I want to partner my hakuran with your Clifford more than I want to partner her with Hawthorne. Nothing against Dante, but I like the combo of H&C more than H&H it's just that.

Okie dokie!
:D

I suppose H&H does sound like a hardware store. Sigh.... Oh well.

Now that I think about it, I might make myself a Puppeteer and a Marionette. However, I need to run something by you first Vita, so PM me once you've gotten around to reading this.

Marionette are more side character...right?
-.-

Finally finished my Master! Who will hopefully be paired with VV.

• Name: Esperanta Dektri
• Age: 19
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: Whee.

• Personality: Despite her exceptionally poor fortune, Esperanta is a bright, cheerful and almost blindly optimistic young woman. No matter how bad things get, she will face it with a smile; after all, things can only get better, right? As long as she's still alive her luck hasn't ran out completely. Whilst some would assume that her optimism and idealism is simply a mask to hide some kind of inner turmoil, they would find themselves completely wrong. Esperanta really is that optimistic and idealistic, believing very staunchly that as long as you still cling onto hope things will turn out fine in the end. She's usually very polite to everyone, even those who really don't deserve it. She's also a bit nervous and shy, especially around strangers, but she tries her best to work through this. After all, a stranger's just a friend you haven't met!

• Backstory: Despite her almost ridiculously sunny disposition, Esperanta's life hasn't exactly been rather happy. Born prematurely, it was a miracle she even survived, although she was weak and sickly all throughout her childhood. Her condition really hasn't gotten too much better, although her habit of getting into all sorts of accidents doesn't help; it's been almost ten years since she lost her left eye in a bizarre manicuring accident, and that's only the most noticable of her injuries. At around the same time, her father tragically died under mysterious circumstances involving sixteen garden gnomes and a bicycle pump, leaving her mother to take care of her. Unfortunately, not long afterwards her mother ran off with a rich businessman from a neighbouring country, taking with her only a leather suit and a riding crop and yet oddly no horse. This led to Esperanta being passed into the care of various aunts and uncles, all of which met rather bizarre fates involving such things as crazed rabid weasels, incredibly localized thunderstorms, unexplained gas explosions and an out of control steamboat that somehow made its way several miles inland. But even through all this tragedy, Esperanta kept her optimism. After all, at least she still had her health, right? And at least she had a job now, taking care of great auntie Nau's restaurant! Even if it had seen better days... And wasn't exactly getting much custom... But at least it gave her a roof over her head, at least aside from all the holes in it. And at least she was making enough money to live! Well, she was breaking even at least... But at least things were looking like they were going to get better. It wasn't like anything bad was going to happen anymore, right?

• Skills: Clumsiness, lack of depth perception due to her missing eye and near-terminal levels of bad luck. On the plus side, Esperanta happens to be a simply marvelous cook, possibly the best in all of Saulbine. Thanks to her luck, though, her cooking skills have not recieved the reknown they really deserve, but at least it's not bad enough that her restaurant recieves too little patrons to continue running.

Accepted.

OK, here's my Master:Name: Erika MatzkieAge: 17Gender: FemaleAppearance: Personality: Serious and methodical, Erika aspires to be the picture of a modern scientist – inquisitive, logical, well spoken, an intellectual. With a curious nature and an unending store of patience for study and research, she spends most of her time in her college’s library. However, she tends to get flustered easily in certain situations (Usually if someone mocks her height, if she’s thrust into fieldwork without warning, or in romantic dealings of any sort), after which her usual eloquence goes out the window. Backstory: A scholar hailing from a long line of scholars, Erika was practically raised on books, her somewhat-absent parents often leaving her content with food and stack of tomes. After a fairly average childhood, during which she was a star pupil in her early education, she applied for a scientific college as soon as she was old enough, studying botany and ecology.Skills: A fairly extensive knowledge of botany, her general intelligence.

Hey, Erika. How's about you and Xenophane? Huh? Huh? It'll be fun!

Name: Nagroth the Deceiver

Gender: Male

Appearance:
Under the hood he has two rather noticeable horns that come out of his head, hence the reason for the hood to begin with.

Personality: Nagroth is obviously evil, though he gets pleasure out of making a certain Doll relive a particular torturous time. Aside from making this Doll relive the torture, he generally likes to inflict people's worst nightmares onto them by illusions, which he's able to gleam from their minds.

Abilities: Fear Manifestation(Regardless of whatever a person's fear is, or even if they're over that fear, Nagroth is capable of making it become a reality by creating minions of his own design out of that fear. He only needs to touch his victim, then he can manifest the minions related to the fear any time and anywhere he wants.)

Marionette: Kira Suguchi


-Physical changes to Marionette while possessed: One change in her physical appearance, her eyes turn yellow.

Misc: She is the former Master of Xavier, who ordered their bond be cut, offering herself up to become Nagroth's Marionette in exchange for letting Xavier live.

Typically, yes. But from my understanding, it's where the Puppeteers hide themselves, within the Marionettes.

Hahahaha, sounds like Anatiel might have a friend after all, they have similar interests.

Depending on how your puppeteer feels about other puppeteers, anyway =P

@Kirinos Solstice: Ah, um, Doll Masters can't be possessed while they're attached to a Doll.

I thought as much, so I had a backup plan in case you said that. One sec and I'll edit it.

EDIT: And edited.

As long as they don't interfere with his torture of Xavier, he really has nothing against other Puppeteers.
