Sir Zenith

Face-up artist(s):

Resin Junky

Date of acquisition:

Head June 2017, body Jan 2020

Provenance:

Head ordered direct from company, body ordered through Clover-singing

Reason for choice:

I've had the head for years because Wolf is one of my favorite sculpts, but I could never figure out a character for him. Later, I fell in love with Luts French Knight Abadon, but he was unfortunately sold out. One day I had the chance to get the armor from a different Luts knight, and I decided to take it because my knight character had evolved beyond just that specific doll. Around this time, I realized my Wolf head would suit the character well. I had gotten the body for a different doll, but it matched Wolf a lot better than the intended head. So with that, Sir Zenith was finally born.

Best Points:

Handsome brooding sculpt, tall and slim body, surprisingly good resin match.

Worst Points:

No thigh joints, super slippy waist joint. Narrow eyewells make positioning eyes a pain.

Eyes:

16mm small iris Marison resin

Wig:

Blond fiber

Sky blue, white, gold

Fashion style(s):

Knight in shining armor, dorky prep in civilian form

Male

Offsite roleplay:

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

"By your will, my liege."

Sir Zenith is a character from my novel The Sky Is Our Fortress. A knight from the world of Tielos, he serves his liege Prince Darian with unyielding loyalty. Stoic and dignified, he appears the paragon of a knight in shining armor. It doesn't hurt that he's a homunculus, a mechanical being powered by magic, which allows him to fight without exhaustion and shrug off injuries that would kill a human.

Later Zenith accompanies Darian to Earth, where he forms a magical contract with the wizard Theo Hua. As Theo's familiar, Zenith expects to obey his wizard's orders and win battles for him. Theo has other ideas, though, judging by how he keeps trying to get Zenith to "hang out" with him. Zenith has always seen things like friendship and hobbies as distractions from his duty, so he has no idea what to make of his strange wizard. But over time, Theo's influence helps him open up and discover his own interests as a person. One of which turns out to be marine biology.
