Description
History
The Toymaker was an hour to represent one of the most basic aspects of all mortals and immortals alike- Innocence. Hope. Youth of the mind. The desire some hold to guide those who are less experienced, and the eternal appreciation of fairytales. Or so, he was. Pre-collision, his role was to improve the morale of all Hours and the mortals under them-- He gifted them perfectly innocent toys made by his own hand, and only a few cults revered him. But after the Glory broke, something inside him did, too- He couldn't think or live without the Glory to guide him. He began distancing himself from what he once was, and stopped believing in his own hope. He was shattered, hopeless- And so he turned to the children he guided, and offered them occult tools disguised as toys, to recruit them into Longhood, and use them as researchers- Those looking for a way to repair the Mansus, and the Glory. To restore the world as it was. To make both Mansii separate, but coexistent. It is an impossible goal. And he knows. But unfortunately, he holds on.
Appearance
The Toymaker is a human-sized, masculine ball-jointed doll with eight arms. His face is typically very angular and anime-styled. The paint on his face rearranges itself to form his various expressions. Despite being perfectly 2D, his mouth, nose and eyes are completely functional. He has black hair and very light blue eyes.
His hairstyle and outfit seem to change depending on how the other person wants, on the surface. He dresses however he thinks the other person will receive him best-- A child who wants to be a sailor would see him in an old-fashioned sailor costume, complete with a cutesy cap. A rich kid might see him dressed as a classic, elegant butler, carrying a tray full of cookies and milk.
What's more abstract, though, is the material he appears to be made from-- The Toymaker sees himself as being made of cracked porcelain, for example. Innocent, beautiful, pale, flawless, yet shattered. With parts missing. He is the brightest of hopes, the purest of souls, and yet, he is broken. Broken, just like the Glory that created him. In the Toymaker, whoever gazes upon him will see themselves reflected. The symbolism is usually not so on the nose- Many will see him as different types of wood, which secretly symbolize something. A few will see him as being made of marble, or precious metals, for example, if they adore him deeply. That being said, non-traditional materials are rare, but existent. A few twisted individuals have seen him made from human flesh, or rotting wood carved in occult symbols. However your Hour sees him is up to you.
Principles
The Toymaker is a bringer of hope and innocence. A patron to all children,all those who are still kids inside, and all those who bring joy to children.
Worship
The Toymaker is most worshipped by children-- In the wise words of Erised, "THERE'S A CHILDREN SECRET CULT". He is extensively revered by those who have been reached by his messages, his toys with occult powers embedded into them, lovingly, and understood the meanings behind them.
