I. Physical Profile.




+ Geppetto.




+ The Puppet Master (Self-assigned).




+ N/A.




+ 10.




+ Nope.




+ Demon.




+ Puppet.




+ Typically standing at only three feet tall this small terror looks a great deal like what he is: An evil puppet. His features tend to be rather menacing though this can often change depending on the body. Often he'll have junk stuck in in place of missing parts, making do with what he's got. Overall he's a jittery maniac, often fixed with a devilish grin, especially when he's scheming. What he wears is extremely variable as he goes from disguise to disguise with great rapidity.

II. Mental Profile.




+ An easily excitable demon with big dreams and a lot to prove.

He's easily characterized by his lust for glory and his love for human pop culture. He'll go above and beyond to gain any measure of fame or recognition. He tries to think outside the box, trying things which either fail or succeed spectacularly. No matter what he does though he is no subtle fellow. His excitement and desire for recognition well exceeds his ability to manipulate others.

In truth he's rather child like in his manner. Unrefined and more concerned with spectacle opposed to effectiveness. He does harm not really out of malice but with a zeal for approval combined with an eagerness to play with power.

That's not to say he isn't aware of some hard truths. Living in hell as one of his strength means knowing his own mortality well. He's kept well to the shadows and he is quite sneaky when he needs to be. He doesn't much care for hiding himself however, preferring to be the center of attention when he can seize it.

II. Innate Abilities.




+ Smuggler's Pockets {B}: On any outfit Geppetto wears he will always have pockets. These pockets may operate like normal pockets when used by anyone else but he is able to use them to reach into a personal sub-space storage to retrieve items of choice. His pockets when active are able to stretch out to the circumference of a sewer manhole cover and can hold up to a shipping container's worth of occupied space.

+ Master of Disguise {B}: This ability grants him the power to conjure forth any disguise he wishes. The disguises come with clothing, makeup, fake prosthesis and props. The props only function to mimic their real counterparts in aesthetic. He can don these disguises instantly, spinning in a blur before quickly appearing in his disguise of choice.

+ A Gifted Doll's Transience {S}: Given the conditions behind his animation Geppetto possesses the ability to leave his body and inhabit a new one provided the new body is intact enough and has no soul of it's own. Upon leaving his former body it will de-animate, becoming just as lifeless as it was before he took it up. The body he moves to must be humanoid in shape for him to be able to properly control it. If the new body he moves to is enchanted with magic the magic must be weaker than his mana capacity or it will bar his entry. If the magic has a will of it's own the mind that drives the body will be decided by whichever one of them has the highest willpower. The party with the weaker willpower will be rendered incapable of thought until the body is destroyed at which point his soul will be disentangled from the magic and vice versa.




+ Reassembly Liner {A}: Given the nature of his existence he can replace parts of his body with most non-living materials with fair ease. If he loses an arm he can reconnect it and it will resume functioning like before. Regardless of material it will animate no differently than his original limbs however their durability and weight will play into account. Parts that were previously operational like guns or other devices will continue operating as they did previously instead of serving as the limb it's replacing. He will however have control over the device attached as he would a living limb. The more damaged a limb becomes the less effectively it will perform.




+ No.

III. Acquired Magick.




+ None.




+ None.

IV. Acquired Skills.




+ Gunnery {Trainee}: He's had some practice but his level of enthusiasm for violence leads to rather shakey hands.

+ Heavy Weapons Training {Trainee}: He's read a few manuals on how to operate heavy weaponry.

+ Electronics {Adept}: He knows a thing or too about wiring, especially for bombs.

+ Demolitions {Skilled}: Even in his short lifetime he's got more experience on both the delivering end and receiving end of most explosives than pretty much everyone.

+ Stunt Driving {Trainee}: He doesn't believe in silly nonsense like traffic laws or the laws of physics.

+ Disguise {Adept}: His problem isn't so much the accuracy of his costumes but rather how crazy the role he's trying to sell is for a majority of the time.

+ Puppet Craft {Master}: His talent for crafting things like puppet and doll bodies is remarkable. He's got the touch of a real doll maker in him.

VII. Biography.

+ There once was a puppeteer, down in the dark depths of hell. He made puppets and held puppet shows for his fellow demons. He had the ability to make his puppets come alive, to act and perform for him on their own right.

He was crafting one particular puppet however it did not come out right. It's eyes seemed to drift to the sides, it's wicked grin was askew. With just a head, a body and an arm made the puppeteer simply decided to discard the half made puppet, leaving it among his pile of other spare puppet parts and other materials.

This puppet, despite it's unfinished state, had been kept in his hands long enough for it to have come to life however. In the darkness of the attic where it was kept this puppet spent it's birth crawling with it's one arm through the darkness. It learned to move in the state was at however, making due as it was. Then it saw the crack.
An ever so slight crack in the floor boards led the puppet to see the shows that went on below. Brothers and sisters to him were all dancing and acting out plays while demons all laughed and applauded along. Seeing the puppets who were whole made this puppet realise that he was incomplete. He'd need more than just an arm if he were to join them.

With determination he put together the rest of his limbs, attaching them to himself with a great deal of patchwork. A hand with only three fingers and a thumb, a glove with a patch sewn over the hole on it's back, one wooden leg which was longer than the other and a pair of brown cobbled shoes with uneven shoe laces. His efforts paled in comparison to even the discarded works of the puppeteer but he wasn't going to be daunted in his ambition.

One day as the other puppets were acting out on stage the puppet managed to jimmy open the lock on the attic door, slipping out from the dark recesses above and rushing out into the theater, his wooden heart alight with joy.

None were glad to see him. The audience was confused and annoyed by his interruption, the other puppets were surprised and shocked by his reveal and the puppeteer though surprised was ultimately disappointed. The failure he had hoped to forget was not only alive much to his surprise as he never knowingly gave the puppet that gift but it was now public knowledge. The only answer was to destroy the puppet lest it ruin his reputation.

The puppet stood awaiting applause and cheers yet only received startled gasps and disgruntled grunts. He turned to see his very creator coming towards him, hammer in hand. The glint in the demon's eye was enough warning for him. He started running, the puppeteer giving chase, and fled out through the door into the dark and twisted streets of Ashanty, a small and poor town in the midst of hell.

For many years the streets were what he called home. Geppetto, as he now called himself, lived a hard life, sticking to the dingy corners where other demons weren't already hiding. Anytime a powerful demon would pass through the lesser demons would scatter and he was no exception. He had to steal, beg and take whatever work anyone would give him simply to get by. He had to be sneaky since the tougher of the smaller demons frequently liked to trounce the lesser demons and scour them for belongings. His life was hard but living down the shame of his past was even harder.

Of course the latest war on humanity rolled around so now there's work to be done. Where there's work to be done Geppetto is almost always guaranteed to show, trying his hardest to get the job so he can be given the opportunity to impress others.
