lizbot "Parts, eh?" Hellma scowled at the application in a mildly severe fashion. This meant she was almost pleased, but hadn't had her morning cider yet. "A master? The master of it is..." The mild disappeared in a sea of utter disgust. "That one." Holding the paper by the corner now, she considered simply letting it burn in the cleansing bowels of the Rejection Bin. Then she remembered why she was letting so many new students in, and sighed. Gesturing to the Acceptance Bin, she murmured, "In the coming conflict, he shall be useful. No matter the thing's... creator." |

About Christof
 AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM
Name: Christof
Nicknames: Generally referred to as "Christof" (His preference) but is also known to be called: Chris, Patchy, Mr. Igor
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown in that Igorish sort of way, but physically/mentally about 15ish.
Faction/Race Patchwork Undead (Hunchback/Igor)
Personality: Christof is shy, but eager to help and make as many friends as possible, even if he becomes overbearingly subservient. He loves taking orders, and fulfilling menial tasks. (It doesn't take much to bully him into doing your homework for you.) He is also mute. Due to the unspeakable things he has witnessed his master do over the years, the paranoid Master stitched his mouth shut- as a result, he's very good at keeping secrets. He does have his violent side that comes out when he becomes especially frustrated by his own poor communication skills. He is, though, very good at sewing. He also keeps a private journal hidden in his room. I'm sure it's discovery would lead to a lot of embarrassment and explanations for what the young patchworked man is thinking a lot of the time.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Christof's Master has gone 'abroad'- where, exactly, Christof only assumes is the human world to continue his research. As such, he needed a place to 'babysit' his creation and keep him occupied and hopefully teach him a thing or two in the process. Christof would much rather have stayed home in the laboratory making sure the labrats are kept fed, but his Master thought otherwise. Christof hopes to learn how to get to the human world to track down his lost Master who has more than likely forgotten about him. He keeps this agenda to himself.
NATURAL ABILITY: Interchangeable parts
FEAR: As a conglomerate of various corpses, his hunchback and arm came from a special monstrous source, and are especially receptive to fear-related transformations. That arm can grow scales, spines and claws for those short-adrenalin induced moments when agility and enhanced strength is needed. - (Dice based version TBD!)
Some visual notes!
Year One: At first, he will only be able to hold onto any transformation for a few moments, and only one thing at a time- a moment of shielding scales, or a moment of sharp claws for that individual block or blow.
Year Two: He will learn to be able to hold onto the transformations a bit longer, and perhaps more than one at a time- so shielding scales AND sharp claws for a longer duration, etc.
Beyond: Who knows what fancy tricks he will learn from there!

What is an Igor?
Wikpedia Igor (or sometimes Ygor) is the traditional stock character or cliché hunch-backed assistant or butler to many types of villain, such as Count Dracula or a mad scientist, familiar from many horror movies and horror movie parodies, the Frankenstein series and Van Helsing[1] films in particular. Full Article here
TV Tropes: The Igor
Not much is known about this rarer sub-type of Patchwork Being, but those who deal in such things would know at least some of the following:
Brought to life by a lightening strike through a special Pumpkin from the Pumpkin Patch into the newly crafted body, Igors generally celebrate their birthdays with Pumpkin Pie, even if they don't quite understand why. Few are told the secrets of their birth, especially young ones. Only if their Master or Mistress wish to tell them. Keeping this knowledge secret is a key to keeping their numbers in check, and the social status of owning one unique and prestigious.
Young Igors are usually kept in the laboratory in which they were created until they "come of age"- they are built small and simple and child-like at first, and subjected to rigorous 'Igor Training'- a private, usually home-schooling sort of elementary level education that instills their goals and outlook on life at a young age. They are taught that they were built for a purpose- to be a tool to their 'owner'. They pride themselves on being the number one desired accessory to any respectable mad scientist, and will usually put up with anything their Master throws at them. Some wish for more respect than others, it all depends on the individual Igor.
When they 'come of age', it usually means passing their Igor training, properly brainwashed/conditioned to their place in life and are granted 'upgrades' before being let lose into the world to find a Master of their own. Some are given hunched backs, or special parts that make them unique among their peers- in Christof's case, he was given his Monstrous Arm and Shoulder, the main outlet of his Fear Power. They pride themselves on these special parts, and while replacing everything else on their bodies over time as things get damaged or out-grown, these special parts will remain and mature with them as they grow.

If your character has had past history with an Igor, or perhaps their family owned one, they may or may not know bits and pieces of any of the above. It is at your discression as a player. |

The first thing that strikes you as you enter is the ungodly smell. It's the sort that clings and lingers, the same one would get in the basement of a morgue or a freshly dug up grave, dead and moist with earth with a chemical preservative edge. Hanging about the room as carefully as an alchemist might arrange drying herbs are... spare parts. Not many, currently, but by the looks of the empty spaces and waiting bits of rope nailed into the stone wall, the room's inhabitant is ready for more. It is mostly bare beyond that, save for a few small devices and tools borrowed from a friend, and what might appear as a meager decoration on the far wall at first glance... It's clear that he isn't expecting company any time soon.
Room Info & Belongings inventory:
His Desk is simple, wooden, and lined with unevolved Bombs to light his work.
His bed is just as simple, a basic wooden frame with a sagging thin mattress and a brown blanket. Hanging beside it is a Mist Lamp, and below that lay his shovel, always handy.
On the far wall if one cares to enter the odd quiet boy's room is an equally odd looking collage, snipped from photos stolen and taken from behind bushes and out of school papers and anywhere else he can get his hands on them.
Only he seems to know what it means, and it seems... unfinished.

Pins:
Masters:
Barth - Christof's First Master here on campus. Igors are warned against Sloth demons... mostly due to them being overworked.
Riley - He would gladly die for her. Or tear off his arms and throw them before her so she doesn't get her feet wet in a puddle. He holds her Demonic Mark in the highest degree.
Malodore - Christof admires its medical prowess and is filled with school girl shyness around the plague doctor.
Friends:
Calder - Christof's Best friend. For some reason neither seem to be able to figure out.
Amrita - Like a little sister to the hunchback, he wants what's best for her. Like limbs that face the right way around.
Sin - What is love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more. He has a fascination with her lovely lady legs.
Morrigan- After some internet stalking, she agreed to go to the Scareintine's dance with him, and managed to steal his first kiss... he's been as of yet too afraid to call her again.
G- Christof befriends this monolith in a late night adventure. He can foresee uses for G's talents.
Tsetsilia - The first friend Christof makes when arriving on campus. He feels a sort of brotherly fondness of her.
Johan - Despite what Johan thinks about him, Christof likes this guy.
Lizzy - They've had their... misunderstandings, but they're cool, right? Right. Known through Amrita.
Yaya - Oh those hands, those talented, talented hands~
West - A bit grumbly, but a nice guy he met in music class.
Foes:
Jericho - The dragon might be oblivious, but the hunchback is watching. He better not try to replace him once his Mistress rules the world.
Colette - He sees you there, makin' moves on his Master. Doin' his bidding. Barth is HIS Master. |
