Always wanted a Saint

Best Points:

I love love love his face! I also like his lanky build.

Face plate wants to pop off, but some eye putty keeps it in place.

Mismatched resin

Black, black, and maybe a dark gray.

Like someone headed to a funeral, but oddly sexy. Would wear killer high heels boots too, for the ~drama~

I really need to make him some thigh high boots

A side character in Assassin's Creed Odyssey is named this, and I was like "that's a freaking cool name".

Male

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is available for offsite roleplay.

His name is Anaximander, and he's the big bad in my dnd campaign setting. He's been a character of mine for longer than that, but this way other people get to have him inflicted on them as well. He's high priest to the Mourning God in his world, a once very comforting and pleasant god of loss and the recovery from pain that has been twisted from his original sphere to embrace/cause that loss and humbling instead. Anaximander is furthering the loss of nations to turn people to his deity, instigating wars and assassinations of rulers.

He was horribly burned in a house fire that cost him his siblings and parents, and found his god while recovering. He started to twist the worship when he started to be ostracized for his appearance and for being the sole survivor of the accident. The fingers...well those are more proof of commitment to the cause (his lieutenants have also given up at least one). He's collected other similarly neglected people and now they have a little cult going on that are aiming to bring their god down in the flesh to judge everyone.
