Drake Vincent

Face-up artist(s):

HZ factory faceup

Body blushing artist(s):

N/A

Modifications artist(s):

N/A

Tattoo artist(s):

HZ factory; the white floral tattoo extending from his left eye was an option which could be requested at the time of purchase, as it was shown in the model photographs in 2009. It cost extra. Drake's is usually covered by his hair.

Date of acquisition:

October 21, 2016

Provenance:

HZ logo molded into the back of his head; history related by previous owner. I am the 3rd owner of this doll, which was probably made in 2009. Confirmed. I now have his COA and other documents from his previous owner.

Reason for choice:

He looked beautiful in his auction photos, and was temptingly written up by the seller. He is connected to the artist Heise, whose work I admire. Also, he came with a nice selection of clothing & wigs.

Best Points:

Everything, and especially his pure smooth resin.

Worst Points:

None.

Eyes:

Factory (?) acrylic eyes, the left eye dark gray, the right eye golden brown

Wig:

Unbranded but very nice, thigh-length wig of mixed dark and lighter strands that gives the overall impression of dark gray (or light black?)

Favourite colours:

Black, gray, brown, blue. White & gold.

Fashion style(s):

Metal rock band style on stage; in private life: t-shirt & well-worn jeans.

Key fashion accessory:

His long pewter color hair.

Name story:

I asked permission of the previous owner to keep his name and some elements of his character which she gave me.

Character age:

36 as a human

Character gender:

male

Offsite roleplay:

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

I tried to find out about Heise's character 'Schuster Fei' and so far have discovered only that he is one of 5 demon warriors. Therefore, I'm uncertain whether 'Drake Vincent' is an immortal living incognito among mortals, a reincarnation of a (formerly) immortal being into human form, or a human man who happens to resemble a legendary character.
I was given permission by the last owner to keep using the 'Drake Vincent' name and some character traits. So Drake Vincent remains a rockstar with a scorching stage presence, but who in private life is actually a shy and sensitive creative artist in music and lyrics. He maintains a distance from his public and has a legendary disdain for groupies.
Oh, really? Well, he must have, long ago, once been sufficiently tempted, because he has recently discovered that he has a 14 year old child he never knew he had ('Jamie McQuinn' on DoA ) and now he has put his career on hold to join Jamie at our house, in a concentrated attempt to become acquainted with and bond with his son. There are many different ways to be a hero. This is one of them.

You can see a picture of Drake's 'Schuster Fei' tattoo on Corinne Larsen's (fjordingholt) Flickr page, and also a picture of his eyes: two different colors.
Some pictures of Drake and his new-found son Jamie have been added on Flickr.
