Mirage

Face-up artist(s):

Ringdoll default

Date of acquisition:

June 17 2019

Provenance:

Ordered through BJDivas

Reason for choice:

I thought I was through with ordering fullsets. "From now on, I'm only going to get dolls to shell my OCs!" Welp, then Ringdoll released this guy and I could not stop staring at his pictures, and finally I took the plunge and got him as an early birthday gift for myself.

Best Points:

Everything. Beautifully sculpted, solidly posing body. Gorgeous stark white resin. Sharp, sleek features. Pointed ears. And a stunning default faceup that looks as good, if not better, than the company pictures.

Worst Points:

I kind of wish his pointed ears were a little more prominent, as they get easily hidden by wigs.

Eyes:

14mm gold resin from Moonlight BJD House

Wig:

Pink fiber

Favourite colours:

Red, pink, gold, black

Fashion style(s):

Pretty much anything, since he's a master of illusions. He especially like luxurious materials and frills and ruffles.

Key fashion accessory:

Thigh-high high-heeled boots

Name story:

He gave it to himself to reflect his prowess over illusion magic.

Character age:

25

Character gender:

Male

Offsite roleplay:

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

"Come to me, and be enthralled."

A character from my novel The Sky Is Our Fortress. On the one hand, Michel Rose is a popular Instagram model with a romantic gothic style, a la Valentin Winter. He travels the world doing photoshoots, fashion shows, and conventions, living in glamour and luxury. Millions of fans adore him, but he'll never give them the time of day because his one true love is his own breathtaking beauty.

On the other hand, Captain Mirage is an officer in the Infernal Legion, the demonic army. Mirage is just as flamboyant, narcissistic, and arrogant as his human disguise, but his dreams go beyond stardom: no, he's going to claw his way to the top of the Legion and usurp the position of Infernal Lord. Never mind that even his own subordinates mock him for his lack of physical strength and dependence on illusion magic, or that the current Infernal Lord is fully aware of his ambitions and treats Mirage as his personal punching bag. One day, Mirage will have them all under his stiletto-heeled boot!

For now, he'll start small and simple. Like actually winning against the intrepid heroes for a change. That would be nice.
