Lysander Fernando Belpois

Face-up artist(s):

Me

Pieced together over 2019-2020

Provenance:

Body from Guudoll, Grown head from Dollshe, faceplate head here on the marketplace

Reason for choice:

I was looking for a small head with a sweet but potentially mischievous expression. Then I went and got the Grown head as well, decided I liked it more, and now he's not so small anymore and looks a little funny on his body.

Best Points:

Resin colour

Worst Points:

Wonky head scale, neck fit, posing

The boisterous goofball, Canadian ex-circus performer and wannabe model. Not exactly what Gailan imagined for a roommate.

cheap blue glass, 14mm small iris

Wig:

currently some cheap fiber thing someone gave to me

Favourite colours:

silver, white, electric blue, hot pink

Fashion style(s):

trendy and blingalicious

Key fashion accessory:

that sizzle

Ly has been a work in progress since his conception. Admittedly I lost all my steam after ordering his custom-coloured body from Guudoll went sideways, and he's been in my closet for a year. Slowly starting to take him out here and there.

Name story:

Lysander: Taken from a fiction novel set in ancient Greece.
Fernando: From the ABBA song, because Uriah makes references to songs and sings peoples' names and I needed this one to be especially irritating to the subject. Story-wise, the song is of importance to his parents.
Belpois: Just needed a two-syllable French surname.

Character age:

18

Character gender:

Male

Offsite roleplay:

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

ESFP, Rooster, Taurus, struggling Psychology major, Gailan's roommate, Theo's maternal cousin; a self-adoring spazz with zero verbal filter. Born to a Texan horse trainer and a French trapeze artist, Lysander is the bilingual fifth child of six and grew up in an Airstream trailer trekking across Canada as part of a skeezy low-budget circus.

Tensions were already high when the circus went under, but Lysander's relationship with his extended family was scuttled on the rocks when he chose to antagonize his cantankerous, controlling grandmother by graphically announcing his sexuality over Thanksgiving dinner. The ensuing foodfight ruined Aunt Maybelle's green bean casserole, gave his grandmother a literal heart attack and eliminated Lysander from the Christmas gift exchange, to say the least.

When Lysander's father suggested education in the States, it was as a chance to let tempers cool and possibly redeem himself through academic achievement. However, Lysander is Not Sorry and sees it as an opportunity to romance the football team and party his toque off without having to answer to a soul.

Thing is, it's not quite as he fantasized. Turns out the major he picked at random actually requires some effort, and, frankly, he was expecting a much hotter roommate...
