Keith "Kit" Callaghan

Face-up artist(s):

Me

Body blushing artist(s):

Me

Tattoo artist(s):

Me

Date of acquisition:

Sometime in February, 2014

Provenance:

Head owned by almaxaquotal, then Hilarie, then me. Body purchased straight from the source.

Reason for choice:

After I had made my conscious decision to downgrade from SD to MSD, he was my first deliberate choice of MSD. He was my Leekeworld Mihael stand-in, with his little baby grumpy face.

Best Points:

He stands!!!! This is notable because before this I have only ever got to work with a Dollshe Bernard and wow that centre of gravity tho...

Worst Points:

His right elbow joint is messed up.... I thought it was because the joints were switched or backwards or something but no, it is the actual joint; arguably a factory defect. It makes his little arm bend upwards randomly. Besides that, there's nothing else that I really mind!

Eyes:

salvaged while de-constructing a cheap porcelain doll.

Wig:

(7-8) JKM Wig (Black) from Dollmore

Favourite colours:

black, dark green, pale blue. He seems to accumulate a lot of red t-shirts.

Fashion style(s):

so far I have been copying shirts worn by Oli Sykes.

Key fashion accessory:

toque/beanie

Jeans (preferably skinny and/or ripped up), t-shirts (ideally with a band on it), sneakers (vans or converse? yes pls).

Name story:

I am not sure why exactly, but I wanted to give that tiny little Oatmeal face a big ole sea monster name. I called him Krataiis Treinos, Kit for short. There was, however, a point where I realized that this boy wasn't a sea monster, wasn't a wizard -- he was just a pretty average kid. Pretty average is okay too.

Character age:

14

Character gender:

Male

Offsite roleplay:

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

Keith was the last of five children, with a huge gap between him and his next oldest sibling. His parents were -- to say the least -- not at all ready for another baby. Their marriage was rocky at best, and they were already considering a divorce by the time their youngest child was born.

Since he was young, Keith had always had a propensity for extreme moods and extreme behaviours. This made growing up a challenge for him, especially when he started school. While his parents struggled through their rocky marriage and then, suddenly, the severe illness of their second-youngest child, Keith was often overlooked. They were soon surprised to find that their youngest was an incredibly poor student, had few (if any) age-appropriate friends, and regularly partook of his fair share of intoxicants.

Long story short: Keith's sibling died, his parents split up, he moved with his dad out of the family home into a tiny two-room apartment. His dad got a sweet promotion that transferred him to who-knows-where, and the last thing Keith ever saw of him was a pile of cash and a good-bye/sorry note on the kitchen table.

This is where the story starts.​
