Simon

Face-up artist(s):

Tatterpunk

Body blushing artist(s):

Tatterpunk

Modifications artist(s):

N/A

Tattoo artist(s):

N/A (so far)

Date of acquisition:

April 2017

Provenance:

Bought directly from Iplehouse

Reason for choice:

I've been wanting one of the FID men for a while, especially since they came out with the model body. Oscar's sculpt is one I've loved for a long while now, especially due to his nose and faint smile.

Best Points:

The detailing of Iple's sculpting is exquisite. I love the FID size and the fact that they're just like the big dolls only manageable. The Model body is lovely because it is far less bulky than the original body.

Worst Points:

The ankles, as usual

Eyes:

Ancient Tales 8mm Violet

Wig:

Alpaca glued to head and headcap with mod podge

Favourite colours:

Black, Red

Fashion style(s):

Gothic

Key fashion accessory:

Razor necklace, crazy Robert Smith hair

Name story:

I'm fond of ridiculously fancy names, so his full name Aloysius Frederick Simon III was perfect. I wanted him to just go by his surname Simon, so I had to figure out a name that he probably would have been happier without.

Character age:

23 (when he died, 24 chronologically)

Character gender:

Male

Offsite roleplay:

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

Simon was Echo's best friend since before she lost her eye. They grew up together, learned about music together, and always dreamed about starting a band. Time has a way of causing even the best of friends to drift apart though. They kept in touch throughout college, but life had different ideas for each of them. As did death.

There are few others with the natural aptitude for magic which Echo Giri has shown, and it is strange that two such practitioners would rise up so close to one another, but perhaps it was fate. Aloysius Frederick Simon III (Or Simon if you want more than just a glare in response) was drawn to the dark arts in much the same way as Echo was, though their training was almost entirely separate. Of course, when one has such power, things often go awry. That was the case Simon, though whether it was sabotage or a mistake is unknown. Either way he wound up dead, and news of his death eventually reached Echo.

Since his raising on Witch's Night, Simon has happily agreed to play bass in Gear Eye.
