1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Rao

Maker:
Volks
Head Sculpt:
Isami Kondo
Skintone:
Pureskin UV Normal
Body:
SDGou
Sex:
Male
  • Face-up artist(s):
    Volks
    Provenance:
    Purchased from first owner
    Reason for choice:
    I waffled over rather I actually wanted this guy in the crew or not for FOUR YEARS...

    I'm glad now that I finally bit the proverbial bullet and bought him. The sculpt really is the perfect Sessus Rao; equal parts total nerd and wise-cracking Imperial adventure-bro. XD
    Best Points:
    Yeah... I suspect that I may have the most geekish-looking Kondo in the entire history of Kondos. But I'm okay with that.
  • Eyes:
    16mm Storm Grey Hands glass
    Wig:
    Modified Brown-black Monique Windy
    Fashion style(s):
    Oddly, the difficult thing with Rao is getting his hair to look "messy enough" without it looking like I just didn't bother to fix his wig. The tabletop RPG version of the character was an Air Aspect with a high Essence score, meaning that his elemental anima was constantly active in a low-key kind of way. It blew papers off of desks and hats off of heads, made candles flicker wildly... and constantly ruffled people's hair. Especially his own.
  • Offsite roleplay:
    This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.
    Sessus Rao was *supposed* to attend the Imperial school of magic in order to learn combat sorcery to aid his dynastic Great House's legions on the battlefield... What he actually learned while attending the infamous Heptagram was a great deal of Forbidden History, a few Potentially Catastrophic Secrets and the Real Truth about the nature of Creation and exactly who was pulling the Scarlet Empire's strings.

    He declined to take a commission in the Legions after all that...

    (Rao is the resin avatar of one of my favorite Dragon-blooded Terrestrial Exalts; the Heptagram's Air-aspected professor of History and Linguistics. Adventurous, curious and good-humored by nature, he had a habit of asking questions that it might not have always been wise to seek out the answers to. He was devoted to his students, though, knowing that by the time they left the Isle of Voices, they'd have had to face up to the very same doubts that he had.)
