Doll Master: A Partners RP

[layers]

Still can't think of anything.

Doll

Name: Wren
Gender: Male
Appearance: 6'2'' tall with white hair and blue-grey eyes. ((Ignore the wings.))
Personality: Cold, calculating, and distant. He doesn't often express human emotion, he believes that he's incapable of feeling said emotions, but when he does it's incredibly faint. He tends to have a negative view of humanity but he can grow to like others. It's a very slow process though since he doesn't even try to be a bit more likable. When it comes to fighting, he's quick to attack since he automatically sees anyone involved with Dolls a threat to himself and his Doll Master.
Abilities: Chaos Gate: A long-range offensive ability to materialize an orb of energy. It takes him five seconds to create one the size of a soccer ball but when it hits it can swell up to three times it's size and disintegrates the matter within that area. The orb can only last ten seconds once it's completely formed. However, if he chooses can reshape the energy as long as it hasn't passed the seven second mark into something more solid. This does not have the same properties as a completed Gate. Because of the time limit, it can only last somewhere between 3-7 seconds. Also just enough speed so that he can keep up with enemies when he's fighting on his own.
Weapons:
Misc: He won't say who or why but he's currently looking for someone. Despite his personality, he works best when fighting with a partner.

Doll Master

Name: Jacob Wise
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Personality: Jacob is stubborn, selfish, and proud. He has quite a few things to learn when it comes to socializing but he isn't nearly as unapproachable as he looks. While he does have a temper, he isn't very dangerous by himself but he's been known to cause trouble or become associated with criminals. Despite appearances, he's more of a follower than a leader and can become extremely loyal to the one he finds worthy of his trust, although there's no guarantees he won't complain. He can be clever when he needs to be but can become easily distracted when angered or embarrassed.
Backstory: When his parents died in an accident, he and his sister Mary were taken in by one of his father's associates to be caretakers as well as friends to the eldest son, a boy a few years older than them named Eric. Jacob, who wasn't used to the richer lifestyle, found it hard to adjust while his sister fell in love with their new home. Eventually the three of them became inseparable. However, not long after that Eric fell ill. Despite his strange behavior, no one knew or believed he had became the host of a Puppeteer. Jacob went to get the doctor but when he came back the family had been killed and Eric and Mary were missing.
Skills: Since most of his money comes from stealing, gambling, or street performances he's agile, fast, and has an eye for details. He's also good at hiding.

Gehrman Steinback

Group: Doll Hunter

Name: Gehrman Steinback

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Personality: Gehrman is a cold and calculating type, preferring to observe and learn of his prey before starting to hunt it. He has a fascination for the occult, and is an ardent supporter of outlandish and even insane conspiracy theories related to the supernatural. Nonetheless, he is driven by his ambition on destroying Dolls and their supposed mind-control over the "Doll Masters". He may even deem the Doll Masters beyond salvation if they seem unreasonable, believing that they have been completely overtaken by Doll influence, and thus seeks to end the spread of such corruption witch-hunter-style.

Backstory: Gehrman was always interested in the supernatural since early youth, which his father, who was an inventor, tried to discourage in him, seeing it as the devil's route. However, after a mysterious incident which left his father dead and mother crippled, with no culprit to be found, Gehrman immediately suspected entities who were out of this world, and began to search for any way he could exact revenge on them. He found out about the Dolls, and their weakness to nails, and set out to cleanse the world of their apparent malice.

Skills: Gehrman has profound knowledge over the occult, and has good awareness for tracking his prey. He is also a bit of an inventor, having created his nail-based weaponry using his father's research notes. He is skilled in close combat, able to stand up against opponents most humans would be unable to, and also capable of using his strength and precision to successfully punch his nails like a witch-hunter would drive a stake through a vampire's heart.

Weapons: Wields a nailgun on one hand, specially crafted for hunting Dolls and their ilk. On his other hand Gehrman wields the Nail Driver, another weapon crafted against Doll-like creatures, which is a close-combat weapon used to puncture the opponent with a large stake-like nail using steam-powered motors. The weapon is designed to be held over the arm like a gauntlet, and can also be used to block attacks like a shield:

So I am definitely interested and it looks like you need doll masters so I'ma post one up yo.

Doll Master Eren Deville

Name:Eren "E" Deville
Also known as "The Perfect Doll"
Age:19
Gender:E
Appearance:

E's Wounded

E's pissed

E as a Marionette

Personality:E is very stoic, only ever seeming to grace people with a small smile or frown. E only ever seems to be really expressive when E is faking emotion in order to manipulate someone. E can be very cold, even to those E loves, and E has a tendency to push people away.

E loves mysteries, and basically putting anything in the shadows is a good way to get E excited. E loves scary things too, though E doesn't find most movies or books to be spooky. Indeed, it is hard to find anything that makes E even flinch. E is truly unfazed by even the great terrors E deals with now.

E has a sense of humor. E mostly makes sarcastic quips or jokes in a way they refer to as "irony". E will mostly just go along with whatever ridiculousness is going on. For instance, E once attended a dance for their school, and arrived in a poofy dress. Despite the dress revealing a good portion of their chest, the other students were still not quite sure if E was male or female. E then proceedes to only dance with girls, and in fact the date that E brought was a girl.

E isn't all smoke and mirrors and irony, however. E has a few humanizing traits. For instance, E loves their father, and aspires to be like them. Beyond that, E deals with a lot of guilt due to their first foray into dealing with dolls and the destruction they caused. Also, E is fiercely protective of their doll, and, though not good at expressing emotion, tries to make sure their doll knows E cares.
Backstory: E's parents were both soldiers for the country, and in fact met on the battle field. They ended up fighting alongside pretty often, and finally decided, "fuck it, let's get married" when E's mom mounted a daring rescue when E's dad was taken prisoner by hostile forces. Earning a huge freaking medal and a handsome hubby, E's mom was damn pleased with life.

E's parents then decided to become guards, with E's father going into detective work and E's mother patrolling the streets, still wanting a little more action.

E was born shortly before their parents' wedding. E's parents thought them a strange child, but loved them all the same.

When E was ten, E's mother mysteriously disappeared during a patrol, along with her partner. E's father stayed strong for his child, and tried his best to find his wife. All investigations turned up nothing, however.

E took an interest in investigating it themselves, however. E decided to start learning from their father how to fight and investigate, and took to both with great skill. E's father also gave them their mother's pendant, a silver chain clasp with a red ruby within. E searched relentlessly, until finally E learned what happened.

E's search ended when the marionette wearing their mother's face beat them half to death, before allowing aother puppeteer to possess them. The experience of being made a marionette was agonizing and terrifying. E felt like their very sense of self was being violated.

E was rescued by their doll a few days later, when some dollhunters tried to stop their wanton destruction. Their doll helped them escape the dolhunters, then literally beat the marionette out of them. Their puppeteer managed to escape, and still has some links to E.

When E returned to their father, beaten but alive, E explained all they had learned. E's father took it in stride, and promised to help E however they could.

E decided then and there that they would save their mom from the marionette that possessed her, or die trying.
Skills:
Detective: E is a trained detective, and is highly skilled at seeking out mysteries. If you cause trouble in their city, chances are E will find you.
Human Lie Detector: E can smell liars. Almost literally. E is very good at telling when someone's lying, and uses this skill to the extreme.
Hard to Read: It is hard to tell when E themself is lying. After all, even E's gender is ambiguous.
Sharpshooter: E is very good with a gun, though this skill won't be very useful until they get their hands on some nail-based weaponry. In the mean time, their pistol is quite good against dollhunters that want to take E's doll.
Ninja: E is both very sneaky and very fast, making them quite good at sneaking around undetected. This is useless against supernatural senses without a dustraction, however.
Pugils: What kind of rough-and-tough detective would E be if E could not go toe to toe with human foes? E is good with the knife E keeps on their person, and has a fighting style that consists of well timed blocks and counters mixed in with relentless flurries of punches, constantly moving to control the flow of battle. E's greatest martial accomplishment is taking on three gangsters at a time and winning, though almost dying in the attempt.
Acting: E is a VERY convincing liar,and comes up with their lies on the spot very easily.
Dauntless: E can be ridiculously stoic, staring down the barrel of a gun and smiling calmly.
Made of Iron: Related to the last one, E has an extreme pain tolerance due to their time as a marionette and their sheer willpower, and combat experience. E can take quite a beating, and has been known to shrug off a bullet wound on one occasion and keep fighting.

Weaknesses:
Possession: E is susceptible to Puppeteers, and could be made a marionette again at any moment. Only their doll can protect them from this.
Suicidal Overconfidence: E believes themselves to be invincible, even after almost dying so many times during their search for their mom. E has been shot once, stabbed twice, and beaten nearly to death during their search, and that was all before being possessed for a time. E doesn't back down, and their Doll will likely have their hands full with keeping them alive.
Just Human: E may be quite badass for a human, but E IS just human. Eren cannot take on Dolls and Marionettes like Dollhunters can. E just doesn't have the training. E took a bullet and kept fighting once. And almost DIED from lead poisoning. E took down three armed thugs armed only with their own fists and cunning, once. And their left wrist STILL makes a weird crackling noise when they shift it just right, because their arm was treated like a fleshy pinata during that fight. E is flesh and blood, and cannot directly take on dolls and marionettes like dollhunters can. E believes they can though, making them take risks that often land them in great trouble.
Reputation: People know about the young androgynous detective, and a few people remember seeing them rampage as a marionette. E has a mixed reputation, and some people may recognize them, even if they're in some disguise. This would by and large be a bad thing, as E always seemed to leave chaos in the wake of their investigations.
No Escape: The puppeteer that possessed E is always vaguely aware of their thoughts, and can exert minor control over Eren. Eren occasionally has minor urges or visions. Eren is secretly terrified that they might become a marionette again at any moment.
Near-sighted: "Jinkies, I can't see without my glasses."

Eren is so god damn blind without their glasses.

Mathew the Doll

Name: Mathew
Gender:Male
Appearance:
Mathew's least terrifying shape. Following are a few examples of combat shapes he might take.

Forms

Personality: Despite being a shapeshifting abomination of bones and flesh, Mathew is actually a very nice and polite entity. Mathew is always nice and courteous, and is polite without being cold. Mathew likes to help people.

Mathew enjoys cooking and baking, and is quite good at it. He cooks all of his dollmaster's meals, and is constantly trying to make sure they are okay and healthy. Mathew is always there to lend aid.

Mathew is very warm and friendly, especially to his dollmaster. He will chide his master for misdeeds, and tries to steer them on the right path. He is very protective of them, not just their life but also their over all well being.

Mathew is more or less a horrifying demonic looking perfect mom.

Also, Mathew likes animals because they aren't scared of him. He usually can be seen befriending a dog or cat.

Mathew rarely gets angry. If he does, then run.

No, literally, run. As peace loving as he is, Mathew is just as horrifying and monstrous as he looks if you manage to anger him. He will literally eat you.

RUN.

Abilities: Mathew is capable of manipulating flesh, especially his own. He transforms constantly, his flesh making squishing and cracking noises as it moves. He is always shifting, though he at least does have full control of his body. He can incorporate outside flesh into his own body to make himself stronger, though he hates to do so. He loses flesh when hurt, causing him to need to replace it. He cannot be killed until all of his extra flesh is destroyed.

His extra flesh can be unmanifested to reduce his weight and size, and he usually does so so that he doesn't take up an entire city block and crack the ground he walks on.

He can theoretically have multiple bodies, except for the fact that he has to keep all his flesh in contact with each other at all times. Anything separated from the main mass needs to be reconsumed before it rots away. Beyond that, it is hard to control more than one body with any motor skills, so he usually just keeps a single central mass. More than that tends to be too weak and hard to control and fragile to be any real effect.
Weapons: Bony claws and whatnot. He can manipulate the flesh of others, though only a bit, and only if he's already touching it. He uses that in order toe at his foes.

Fighting Style: Mathew usually uses his great reach and power to disable foes without harming them. He can manipulate flesh so as to momentarily engorge the brain and leave an opponent unconscious but alive.

When he's pissed or otherwise going for the kill, Mathew will strike from many angles with great force.

Mathew tends to switch between three fighting styles.

Turret: Mathew keeps the majority of his mass anchored, and lashes out with huge amounts of combat tentacles. He forms shields of bone around his main mass to defend himself. This form is very powerful offensively and defensively, especially against enemies without nail-based weapons. His reach is so great that he can often pull enemies back into range if they try to escape, and though his main body is immobile, his tentacles lash with extreme speed and power.

Blob Man: Mathew adds flesh to a compact, human sized form and uses it to lash out with tentacles. He compensates for his slow speed by constantly shifting. He could dodge a launched nail by opening his flesh and letting it go through, for instance. This is his best form against Doll Hunters, though it is still not very effective as they are usually too damn fast and their nails too damn lethal for him to properly dodge and attack.

Behemoth: Mathew doesn't bother with tentacles in this style, usually. Mathew's most varied way of fighting. Mathew becomes a large, usually quadrupedal, charging monstrosity. Mathew charges at opponents, slamming them around with huge and ultra dense limbs.

Misc: Mathew is slow, and his only real way of dealing with that is increasing his reach and size. While he is great at defeating Marionettes by overpowering then, Dollhunters tend to be very quick and can seriously wound him. Without aid from his dollmaster, most skilled dollhunters could easily kill him.

His shapeshifting DOES grant him some versatility, though. For one, he is unpredictable. He can become quite small or large, and can extend an individual limb very quickly.

[Adorabadass]

And I'll work on a doll. I do have an idea for that, though. :D

Doll Master

Name: Alexander

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Appearance: Here.

Personality: Always kind and pleasant on the outside. If he sees a poor unfortunate soul having trouble of some sort, he won't hesitate to help. He talks about God quite a bit, saying that He is always watching and will take care of those He loves. He can be quite charismatic, However, despite being a priest, even he has a few guilty pleasures. There have been rumors that he is a pervert who likes to feel up women, although that has never been proven to be true (mainly because Alexander makes sure no one sees it happening when he does it). He is also sometimes seen gambling, and is quite good at it too, able to maintain a smiling poker face while bluffing his opponents down to their underwear.

Backstory: Alexander was born in quite a religious family who expected their son to follow in their footsteps. In other words, do exactly as they said and never talk back. Even the slightest mistake resulted in a smack on the hand with a wooden stick.

Alexander then made a few "friends" who taught him some tips and tricks for certain unethical purposes. Alexander practiced them a few times and found that he was rather good at them.

During the day he would obey his parents' every word, at night he would sneak out a window and hang out with his friends. This continued for many months, until his parents found out about it and disowned him.

Fortunately, Alexander was lucky and was taken in by the local church, where he lived for the rest of his life until he turned 18, from there renting an apartment while still working at the church as a priest.

Skills:
Calm: Alexander is able to stay calm when others would have freaked out and panicked.
Silver tounge: Alexander can make almost anything he says sound like the truth. As one would expect, though, this takes a lot of quick thinking and clever words.
Smooth hands: Alexander has a lot of practice with his hands, whether it be pickpocketing someone, feeling up a girl's behind, or other such tricks.
Cheating: what kind of gambler would Alexander be if he didn't know how to cheat? Whether it be with cards, chips, or what not, Alexander has quite a bit of experience with it.
Fist fighting: let's just say he has gotten into a bit of trouble with his cheating ways, as well as dealing with drunkards, and had to learn how to fend off would be attackers.

Doll

Name: Megumi

Gender: Female

Appearance: Here.

Personality: Always serious about everything. She has no sense of humor and will not hesitate to strike down someone she doesn't like. Megumi is almost always silent, apart from short replies and various short sounds. However, she is not without kindness, although it takes quite a bit for her to reveal it.

Abilities:
Observational: Megumi has far better sight than a human could ever hope to have without the aid of vision enhancements. She can also see with the use of both night and thermal vision.
Speed: Megumi is, of course, also faster than any normal human could hope to achieve. This includes reflexes as well.
Cloaking: Megumi is capable of turning invisible. Other forms of vision such as thermal are incapable of detecting her as well. Also, while not related to her ability yet also worth mentioning, she is silent enough to escape the detection of human ears.
Acrobatics: self-explanatory.
Poison: her weapons are coated with poison. Effects of the poison are slowed reflexes, blurred vision, increased fatigue, and enhanced pain sensitivity. Just the kind of stuff that makes you wish you were dead. Effects will wear off after about 5 minutes.

Weapons:
-A pair of short swords.
-A seemingly endless amount of kunai and shuriken.

[PlantEater]

Interested, expect a CS for a Doll-Master and Doll relatively soon!

[VitaVitaAR]

@layers: You don't need to have a weapon unless you want to. ^^;

As for your doll, the orb/shape is avoidable, right? Disintergration is pretty potent. ^^; Your Master looks more or less fine, though.

@Ariamis: Accepted.

@Adorabadass: Your Master looks mostly fine, but I'll note a couple of things. Being a Doll Master mostly prevents becoming a Marionette, unless the contract is weakened to a very great extent. On the same note, being a Marionette prevents gaining a Doll, unless the Puppeteer's control has become very very weak.

As for your Doll, I think you should tone down the shapeshifting a bit so that he can't become hordes of creatures or giant monsters. ^^;

@Scarifar: Good so far, I'll give full judgement when they're finished.

I'm happy to see all the interest and enthusiasm!

My Doll Hunter!

Name: Horatio Jeremiah Bouken

Age: 13

Gender: Male

Appearance: When in full on Doll Hunter mode with the gun replaced by nail-guns. Otherwise wears casual clothes or a school uniform. Also never at all cute in any way

Personality: Overall Horatio is a child trying to balance a world of secrets, duty and painful memories with that of a carefree middle school kid of wealth and means, longing for an easygoing and fun existence with friends but unable to let go of his past or give up being a Hunter, which he sees as an almost sacred responsibility. Although he sees Dolls as capable of being as evil and dangerous as Puppeteers in their own way, he truly desires to protect people and tries his very hardest never to kill any humans including possessed Marionettes. While he mostly sees being a Doll Hunter as his one true calling in life he also secretly dreams of becoming a novelist and will often recite his actions in an over-dramatized and stylized internal monologue provided he's not doing something that requires his full concentration, though being slightly scatterbrained he sometimes does this out loud. Despite his usually serious demeanor while on the job, he's still the same person underneath, even having chosen his combat style at the time because "It seemed cool!"

Backstory: Will PM to the GM

Skills: Horatio has been training constantly for eight years under the watchful eyes of his mentor, who is an extremely experienced Doll Hunter in his own right. As such his body has been honed to near or perhaps beyond peak human levels in some respects through the use of Doll Hunter training techniques, far past what would be expected from a middle school boy. While his physical strength is only slightly above average for a child his age Horatio's speed and reflexes are incredible for a human, as he is fast enough to keep up with and even outpace or outmaneuver Dolls and other supernatural beings, as well as dodge their attacks with apparent ease.

His marksmanship abilities and general skill with his dual nail-guns is also nearly inhuman, as he is able to wield two revolver-sized nail-guns one handed with near-superhuman precision and speed, even pulling off trick shots that would astonish professional gunmen and quick-drawing his nail-guns fast enough to surprise some dolls. He combines his flair for gunplay and intense speed with training in acrobatics and free-running to dodge and weave around battlefields, hop roofs in pursuit of his quarry and attack from unexpected angles. Despite his youth and inexperience, he's been trained to be quite deadly. Ultimately though he is a human and a rather young and small one at that. His durability is still basically that of a human child and his strength is only a little bit better than that, so if he's actually hit he won't last long.

Weapons: Like most Doll Hunters, Horatio makes use of specially designed nail-guns that fire nails with the ability to harm Dolls and Puppeteers and drive them from the human world. Unlike most Doll Hunters, Horatio wields a nail-gun in each hand, having trained rigorously to offset the disadvantages that creates and turning them into strengths. Both of them are around the size of a small revolver, although they're actually capable of holding about ten nails each before he has to re-load them. They've been carefully balanced and are of exactly equal weight and size even while loaded and have been customized to reduce kickback in order to optimize his two-gun style. He's taken to labeling one Sinister and the other one Righteous and engraved them as such despite the fact that they can easily be switched and his master disapproves of the pun. Other than the engravings they have no visual differences.

[Adorabadass]

I toned down Mathew a bit as you suggested. I'd like to keep my dollmaster as is, though. I added the marionette influences mostly as a weakness and a way for you to do plot related stuff using E. E can have their perceptions twisted by the puppeteer and is thus a bit of a risky ally.

I figured it would only be a minor influence, because E's doll mostly beat the puppeteer away, though. It could be a constant risk and something you could capitalize on for plot reasons.

[VitaVitaAR]

@Dblade26: Accepted.

@Adorabadass: E's fine, they're accepted.

The last thing I want is just for Matthew not to be able to be multiple entities, at least not without the individual entities being much weaker then a single one would be.

[Raineh Daze]

Name: Gateway to the Genesis of Technology

Gender: Female

Appearance: Behold!

Personality: Gate is... very, very overenthusiastic. Nothing deserves to be done quietly, at low speed, or with much forethought: full steam ahead and power through! She doesn't really have much room in her head for any sort of malice with that energy and knowledge taking up most of the space. So everyone gets to be her friend! If they can keep up. She babbles a lot.

Abilities:
Technowizardry--Steam and Clock Edition: Gate can build things that either function in advance of modern technology, or achieve the same thing through different means. For small-scale stuff, it simply works by winding up clockwork. Large scale? Well... she thinks locomotives are pretty shoddy even at best, and the internal combustion engine is just a loser's substitute for what you could really do with a steam engine if you put your mind to it. She still needs the raw materials to actually build any of these things, though, and since she basically makes everything out of metal and glass...
Just don't ask her what weird chemicals are involved in making the things work once they're turned on.
She's exceptionally gifted at using or repairing compatible technology, and using anything mechanical in general. Just... don't ask her to touch electronics.
Enhanced Chassis: Her arm isn't the only thing about Gate that's mechanical, it's just the obvious. This is the reason why she's both faster than is normal even for a Doll, and tougher. However, it also makes her healing a lot worse. And she generally functions as a lightning rod.
Technological Impossibility--Armament Reconfiguration: Gate's arm? It can change shape. It can turn into an outright cannon, a gatling gun, or a chainsaw, all using steam rather than their normal propellents/power sources, and keeping the same sort of aesthetic. It is, however, blatantly impossible for the mechanical shifting it does to actually result in the working shapes, so anyone examining her arm too closely will probably find their brain hurting.
The Truth of All Things: Under the eyepatch, there's another eye. This one doesn't see the world... well, normally. It sees through everything to its innermost workings. Walls are translucent mirages above piping and wiring. Flesh can be seen through to the organs beneath. Not, as a whole, an ability that sees much use except when building or fixing stuff, but it does carry the handy property of being impossible to fool with illusions. The sole thing it cannot see through is the eyepatch covering it (if she needs to use this eye, Gate tends to just swap which one is covered--seeing through things all the time isn't helpful).

Weapons: Look above.

Misc: If you value whatever it's attached to, don't make her use something with any electrical components.

[Adorabadass]

@Adorabadass: E's fine, they're accepted.

The last thing I want is just for Matthew not to be able to be multiple entities, at least not without the individual entities being much weaker then a single one would be.

@VitaVitaAR

I removed his horde abilities. He is now a singular horrifying monster. I mean,I liked the idea of zombie apocalypse Mathew, but I do admit that that would be op.

[VitaVitaAR]

@Raineh Daze: Accepted.

@Adorabadass: In that case, he's accepted.

[RoflsMazoy]

Oh geez, so much happened while I was asleep!

I'll have CSs up sooner or later!

[PlantEater]

Doll Master CS- Maxwell

Name: Maxwell Smithson
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Appearance:http://static.zerochan.net/United.Kingdom.full.1236748.jpg

Personality: Maxwell is a naturally shy and reserved individual, who prefers the comfort of a good book to a chattering conversation. That's not to say he's anti-social, as he perfectly capable of having lengthy conversations with others, however his introverted personality means it drains him. Reluctant to open up to most people, he has found a rare friend in his doll, whom he cherishes dearly and tends to dote on. He treats his doll almost as if it was his own child, and thinks of it less as a weapon and more of a close friend.
Maxwell also has a caring heart, and is prepared to help anyone in need, sometimes even to the detriment of his own well-being. He loves a great deal, however he tends to get overly-attached to women, and often spends many moths following one female.
His thinking is not limited solely to that of a perverse nature however, and he has a very active imagination. He can often be found scribbling down fantastical ideas in a notebook somewhere, completely absorbed in his work. This is illustrative of Maxwell's unfocused mind, which often jumps from one task to the next in a haphazard manner. If he finds something that truly interests him he focuses all his attention on it, but mostly his thoughts are chaotic and disorganised.
Additionally, Maxwell is a soft spoken and polite man who exercises courtesy around all he meets. He prefers to think before he acts, and if possible likes to avoid direct confrontation owing to his less than stellar physical ability. When confronted Alex often panics, and tries his best to escape the situation.

Backstory: Maxwell was raised in what many would call a broken home. His mother was a drug addict and his father was an alcoholic who cared little for his only child. In the early years of his life Maxwell was subject to abuse from both his father and mother, and he found his escape in school. Here, everyone was equal and it didn't matter where he came from. His teachers treated him with kindness, and he applied himself well in class. At the age of 12, after a particularly viscous fight with his parents, Maxwell ran away from home. It was during this time that he found his Doll; it latched onto him during his moment of grief and provided a friend when he needed it most. For the next few years Maxwell wandered the streets with only his Doll for companionship; he was cold and hungry but not alone.
Eventually Maxwell was taken in by a kindly old engineer, who raised him as his own son and taught him his trade. For years Maxwell labored under the gentle gaze of his new father, honing his skills and growing even closer to his Doll. Over time Maxwell forgot about his old life and grew accustomed to the rigors of his new existence. It came as somewhat of a shock when the old man died on Maxwell's 18th birthday, and the wound is still raw even after 2 years. He continues to work in the shop, carrying on trade in memory of the only father he ever knew.

Skills: Maxwell is well-read and has an acute mind. What he lacks in physical strength he makes up for with a mental acuity that many find intimidating. He addresses problems with logic and reason, and can think his way through most problems. In addition, he is a good listener and can provide moral support for anyone who needs it. Lastly he is a skilled technician and engineer, having studied under his adopted father for several years.

By the way, are the Dolls doll sized or human-sized? And if anyone is interested in being my Doll shoot me a PM!

[VitaVitaAR]

Dolls are human-sized.

Also, he's mostly okay, but this is like Victorian-era Europe. ^^; Even an idealized version probably wouldn't have rehab or child protective services, at least not in the way the modern world has them.

[Adorabadass]

Should we start talking about doll/master pairs yet? :p

[VitaVitaAR]

If you want, you can, eh-heh.

[PlantEater]

Dolls are human-sized.

Also, he's mostly okay, but this is like Victorian-era Europe. ^^; Even an idealized version probably wouldn't have rehab or child protective services, at least not in the way the modern world has them.

@VitaVitaAR

Gah, that was absolutely my mistake! I apologise, I don't think straight sometimes and I'm not sure what caused me to make such a mistake. Regardless, I fixed several things and changed my name and appearance to fit more with the setting. Hope it is up to scratch!
