Pretty sculpt, poses well, strong sturdy resin, even at 11 years old, he's a creamy color, not banana yellow or green.

Name story:

Zero ("Basil") Amir Angel Lindström

This poor guy has had his name changed twice.

He was born Zero Amir Angel, Zero because his dad was an asshole and thought nothing of him, Amir because his mom was Egyptian and Amir is an Arabic name meaning "Prince". Out of character, I liked Zero because of the dog in Nightmare Before Christmas, Amir from Amir Derakh, and Angel because I used to have recurring dreams about meeting my "soulmate" and his name was Angel (though otherwise nothing like Amir).

In character, Amir eventually disowned his father and got into a tumultuous relationship, and asked his boyfriend to rename him, and he chose Basil, so he became Basil Amir Angel.

The relationship did not last, and eventually Amir met and married Mikko Lindström, and dropped Basil, making his final name Amir Angel Lindström.

Character age:

He ages in real time, but his birthday is February 13, 1989.

Character gender:

male

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.

Amir is an only child, who lost his mother at a young age and was deserted by his father. His strict Catholic grandmother raised him in an extremely conservative household. When he was finally an adult and after grandma passed away, Amir found himself on his own, naive and sensitive, though emotionally unstable. He began a relationship with an older man, and it was a combination of many life lessons and abuse. After a year and a half, Amir left him, and met his current husband, Mikko, and stepson, Parker. Mikko helped rebuild Amir (and gave him too much confidence). Amir made many friends, including Blake, and became an artist, model and business owner, though now he focuses mostly on his businesses (he owns a coffee shop, art gallery and hookah lounge) and art. While recovering from his past, Amir's ego grew past being confident, and border-lining narcissistic. He became unbearable between his attitude, temper and disillusions, but since the birth of his daughter, Rose, he has settled down quite a bit, back to his humble roots. Blake has also helped him reclaim his true self, and after a decade of friendship, it finally turned into a relationship. (Mikko is totally aware and supportive of this, as Amir has been part of polygamous relationships in the past.) He currently balances his time between his work, Mikko, his children Parker and Rose, Blake and his cat, Ankha.
