Bishop

Face-up artist(s):

St. James

Provenance:

Head purchased directly from Switch on June 12, 2012; SDGr body purchased directly from Volks.

Reason for choice:

I missed out on Rusi and secondhand prices were more than I could afford, so I pounced on the dreamy version when he was released. I ended up getting a Rusi years later, as Bishop's alternate head.

Best Points:

Great sculpt with a lot of subtle detail in the features. Excellent resin quality. Very easy to set his eyes.

Worst Points:

Volks SDGr engineering - pitches forward at the hips, knees look weird when bent.

Eyes:

Gumdrops custom Antiquity with Root Beer rim, 16mm

Wig:

Dream of Doll brown and others

Favourite colours:

Black, peacock, dusty pink

Fashion style(s):

Elegant Gothic

Key fashion accessory:

Leo pendant

Name story:

Supposedly Bishop is his real last name, but I'm not so sure. I think maybe he was just a fan of the Aliens franchise and decided it would be a good stage name.

Character age:

Late twenties

Character gender:

Male

Offsite roleplay:

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

Bishop is the bassist for SUBTERRANEAN. Bishop met his best friend and band mate Sean Adams in music academy, where they bonded over their mutual love of fantasy and science fiction. They also share a love of overblown theatrics and elaborately impractical fashion. A closeted asexual, he finds the band's relentless touring schedule an exhausting but convenient excuse for avoiding both relationships and revealing his feelings for Sean, events he is certain would only end in disaster.
