Mitchell Kaegan

Face-up artist(s):

overlordu (Hearts Murmur) on head #1 and OE, Amet (me) on head #2

Date of acquisition:

Sep.23.2011 (though he's been around in some form since Aug.13.2007)

Provenance:

Original head bought directly from Infinitidoll as a full doll. Mitchell actually has three heads (an extra dreaming head and an alternate OE head) because he's my spoiled favorite. All his other parts were purchased on DoA long after Infinitidoll had gone under.

Reason for choice:

I adore dreaming sculpts, so when Mitchell was ready to "grow up" again (he started out a Dollzone Mini, then became a 60cm Delf that looked like a teen, then needed to get a little bigger and more grown up again, so I went on the hunt). I fell in love with Louis becuase of his beautiful eye shape and his smile.

Best Points:

His expression is perfect, and his resin has held up well over the years. Because the D. Louis is a case where the company went back in to add more details like an open mouth (he has a full removable tooth piece!) and slitted eyes to the open-eyed version of his sculpt, I feel like he has more detail than the OE version and it just adds to his perfection. (Can you tell he's my favorite?)

Worst Points:

The Infinitidoll body he came on was a beautifully sculpted piece of crap, so he's had to be hybridized for years. His arms couldn't hold a bended pose without wiring despite double joints, his legs would give out at random moments when standing (he destroyed his first faceup this way) and he sat with his knees together no matter what I did (a counterpoint to the ID lady body which sits with her legs splayed, because of course she does). Since ID was such a close cousin to LUTS, I was able to switch him onto a LUTS SSDF body for a while for better posing, and more recently I switched him onto the SDF65 body, which is basically the Infinitidoll body with better engineering. I'm grateful they put out a body in this size so Mitch can be the height I originally intended. (And can wear aaaaaall the SD17-sized clothing, at long last!)

Eyes:

Enchanted Doll 16mm blue urethanes

Wig:

Kagami Designs Angora (medium curls), Monique Jojo (shorter), Monique Lovely (long curly) in various shades of blonde

Favourite colours:

Blue, gray, brown, black... does animal print count?

Fashion style(s):

Modern casual, leather coats and jeans, occasionally stylized to match whatever photo theme Ronan and Portia have going on.

Key fashion accessory:

His knife necklace has been with him since his MSD form in 2007.

Name story:

Mitchell's first and last names were chosen because I wanted something pretty ordinary sounding for an American.

Character age:

Eternally 26.

Character gender:

Male

Offsite roleplay:

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

Mitchell is generally a cheerful goofball whose interests include boxing, gardening, and drinking too much coffee to ever be calm enough to stop talking. He has a very grandiose idea of love and honor and will not be dissuaded once he decides on a course of action, but most of the time he's just cracking cheesy jokes. He has exactly one magical party trick up his sleeve, but since it's the ability to reincarnate after being murdered, nobody wants to see him use it again. Mostly he just wants to be with Ronan, and things keep getting in the way!
