Samson Aster

Face-up artist(s):

Ticuk Luisant Aesthetics

Provenance:

Head and body bought secondhand from the marketplace

Reason for choice:

The prominent features of the Rynx sculpt are definitely what I was looking for in this character. His half-lidded eyes help create a wide variety of expressions, to the point that his smile looks rather sad at certain angles.

As for the body, I think I was exceedingly lucky to find the Crobidoll B-Line for sale, as it's perfect in height and has the "bulk" I needed for Samson's figure.

Best Points:

I fell quite deeply in love with his nose and lips. Not to mention that Crobidoll's B-Line body can wear SD17 clothing, so putting his outfit together was a breeze.

Eyes:

12mm Glib Pearl Blue acrylic

Wig:

8-9" F-Styler silver mohair

Favourite colours:

Blue

Fashion style(s):

Casual, likes to dress in layers

Key fashion accessory:

Skullcap and headphones

Outfit: coat from Volks Wool Down Jacket set, Sunny’s World 70cm cotton jersey, Tata’s Paradise SD17 sports pants
Shoes: Nine9Style sneakers
Accessories: Iplehouse gray beanie, SoundPlay headphones

Attire: Wears a white turtleneck shirt and a dark gray wool coat along with baggy black sports pants and a charcoal-color beanie. He’s almost always seen with a pair of red headphones around his neck: an old birthday gift from his deceased brother, which he only uses to play audio from preserved home videos.

The Chamberlain of Room One of Pyranoscope's Liminal Rooms. He was originally a god from a doomed alternate Earth, condemned to serve Pyranoscope for the next 580 million years for his part in its destruction. Beneath his constant smile and salesman facade, he's actually a rather lonely guy.

Traits: An upbeat, go-with-the-flow kind of guy, but his good humor runs rather dark. Maybe a lot dark. And while not entirely evident at the start, he might be going a bit stir crazy from inhabiting Room One too long.

Personality: Samson Aster rarely goes anywhere without a smile; he’s extremely amicable, the kind of person who makes others feel at ease by sheer friendliness alone, like a car salesman who considers his customer an old drinking buddy. He sells himself as a sociable individual and enjoys cracking jokes as well, though often at his own expense, in a self-deprecating way.

Appearance: Has unearthly, almost luminescent silver gray hair and pearly blue eyes, curtained by thick white eyelashes, with a distinctive gold rim around the pupil. He is of relatively tall height, with an imposing frame accentuated by his muscular build and broad shoulders.

His job is to shepherd the "saviors" brought into the Liminal Rooms, and guide them on a quest to save their designated parallel Earth, one planet at a time. He's been doing this for around 3 million years now, chronologically speaking, and it all started when he more or less led his world to destruction. Formerly a sort of biological weapon used to kill other gods.But he doesn't like talking about it.
