Factory Face-up

I really love the details in his face-up and just how cute the sculpt is.

Worst Points:

He doesn't like to look straight ahead.

Fashion style(s):

He tends toward things that are easy to move around in, yet still look good together. He's very conscientious about colour matching.

Offsite roleplay:

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

Brahm is a young boy from centuries long past that was cursed with immortality and invulnerability by an Eldritch deity.

Rather than face the reality of outliving all of his family and friends, he ran off to travel the world, refusing to associate at length with anyone. The years of self-imposed isolation and being left to his own devices eroded his social skills and left him mute and rather prickly when he is forced into any sort of interaction. He carries around a chalkboard to communicate when he needs to, though is quick to use it as a blunt weapon of sorts if chided about his childish handwriting.

In fact, despite being hundreds of years old and spending those years accumulating wealth and knowledge beyond what any normal ten-year-old could ever accomplish on their own, Brahm still seems to fall into his old habits of indulging in childish behaviours, like enjoying sweets, watching cartoons for hours on end, and working on his own slanted version of child's logic. However, if these things are pointed out by any on-looker who might happen to know how old he really is, he's quick to deny such things.

His pastimes include reading and drawing, disassembly and repair of small mechanical contraptions such as music boxes, clocks, and pocket watches, and betting on horses.
