Christof is, indeed, adorable. XD However, if you're looking to expand on personality and such, I've found that it helps to ask a bunch of questions. With that in mind, here's a few I thought of:
-He's subservient, and sounds like he'd be easy to take advantage of... Which could make for awesome plot! But is there anything that he WON'T do? Where does he draw the line when it comes to doing things for other people? Or, alternatively, have his years of service to a mad scientist pretty much rendered him unflappable in that regard?
-When he's not off serving someone else, what does Christof like to do? You mention he's good at sewing - a possible hobby? Or is he just too focused on being a good Igor?
-When his 'violent side' comes out, what exactly does he do? Would he actually whack the person who's annoying him by being thick, or just lash out at whatever random inanimate object is nearby to let out frustration, or what?
Hope that helps!

Tuatha De Christof is, indeed, adorable. XD However, if you're looking to expand on personality and such, I've found that it helps to ask a bunch of questions. With that in mind, here's a few I thought of: Questions are the best! They are my favorite because it is easier to answer these things this way! rofl Quote: -He's subservient, and sounds like he'd be easy to take advantage of... Which could make for awesome plot! But is there anything that he WON'T do? Where does he draw the line when it comes to doing things for other people? Or, alternatively, have his years of service to a mad scientist pretty much rendered him unflappable in that regard? He definitely forms his own opinions about things! When commands conflict with his own desires, he either acts out or rebels or half-asses said command. For example: There's a girl he's been crushing on, but there's also a fellow who's been ordering him around a lot to fulfill that void of being Masterless- but turns out said Fellow also likes the same girl and asks Christof to deliver a box of chocolates. He very well may just toss the note and pretend the chocolates are from him. Apply this in whatever other conflict, to whatever degree. He has his mischievous, selfish side. X) If anything, his years of being ordered about by his Master have made him very much the bitter, rebellious teenager, but still his personality is dictated by the nature of his creation. I HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE! edit: I should also mention, the degree of his faithfulness to a commanding "Friend" depends on that "Friend"s control and manipulation of him. He IS manipulable but it must be clever manipulation! Quote: -When he's not off serving someone else, what does Christof like to do? You mention he's good at sewing - a possible hobby? Or is he just too focused on being a good Igor? AH that is something I did not mention but very well could! He is a creature made from creatures, and ergo finds it fascinating to dissect and explore. Some people may find their mini pets cut apart and put back together again if they turn their backs on him and them for too long. :C He has a huge curiosity but likes making things, be it altering clothing to fit his hunch, making presents for people or even building new friends... from scratch. He was created and trained by a mad scientist, he can't help but let that slip out! He is very clever, even if he sometimes pretends to be dumb if it seems important to do so. Quote: -When his 'violent side' comes out, what exactly does he do? Would he actually whack the person who's annoying him by being thick, or just lash out at whatever random inanimate object is nearby to let out frustration, or what? He's incapable of screaming, save for frustrated grunts and growls and muffled noises, and so he finds outlet by kicking, slamming doors, punching, throwing books, etc. He's a very animated guy. If he feels you have wronged him or someone he's taken a liking to, he's very likely to go for the throat, so to speak. Otherwise, he's very sweet and quite the good boy. X) It did a lot! Thanks muchly! Please let me know if I should clarify further!

Thanks again <33 I added the FAQ! I might also say something about his sister but I don't think I'd bring her in at all. XD We can just assume she's the one back at the lab feeding those poor rats.

Uhh... any question I had was answered in the FAQ. :C WHY DOES YOU NOT GIVE ME ANYTHING TO GO ON. I guess I'll just spew some things I was thinking while I was reading:
Chrisof is very animated... does he like to dance?!
What different parts is he made up of?
What would his room look like?
Also, does he like kitties?
They're not a crit cuz I have nothing to go on, but funny musings I had while reading! You covered everything I had a question about in your FAQ. gonk

You covered everything I had a question about in your FAQ. gonk Ahahaha well at least I know my general bases are covered! rofl - He does like to dance! That does not mean he's very good at it, though. I'm fairly certain one of his legs is longer than the other. :C <3 - MANY. Skin grafts, various organs from various places, sort of a hodgepodge of mostly humanoid, but some monster parts. - I am not sure what his room looks like! His Master is a bit of a religeous zealot and very OCD so at home he basically sleeps on a cot in a broom closet. Once we get to school where he has a bit more free-reign with his decor, I suppose we'll see what he does with the place! He will probably like to put things up on his walls a lot, photos, notes, dead birds, etc. - Who doesn't like kitties? You must have a very cold, dead, evil heart to not like kitties. Christof's works very well! He got it off of an especially healthy athlete, after all! rofl

He seems like there's a lot of development in his character. However, I feel like I'm not seeing some of it. You've planted him into a position of great potential for him to grow as an individual, but I'm seeing a lot of questions about how he'd subserve to other characters, but:
What are CHRISOF's motivators? He seems like a people pleaser.
WHY?
Is it just his nature after being subservient to his master for so long? Or is there a different motivator he has? Distinguish between what is 'habit' and what is 'his choice' with that. It's easy to assume.
I feel a good standard of 'now' with him, but what does he aspire to?
I also have to ask: If he's such a good sewer, is there a reason it hasn't crossed his mind to just take the stitches out of his mouth yet? Is it a paranoia that he'll get in trouble for it?
And to ask about his FEAR: How short is 'short'?
How far does his 'patience' extend before he gets frustrated with things?

*peeks in* I love how he is sounding! He shall be a very fun character to see running around. I really couldn't find anything to crit, as it seems to all have been asked beforehand^^
I did come across a question I found myself asking and getting curious about (and a couple posts might have inspired it too).
Is he an intelligent creature? Like demon_pachabel was asking above, why doesn't he just take the stitches out? This got me curious on what his level of intelligence is, since he is very subservient.
And forgive me if this was asked somewhere (or answered) and I completely missed it >_<

You've planted him into a position of great potential for him to grow as an individual, but I'm seeing a lot of questions about how he'd subserve to other characters, but: Some of these things I feel like explaining before I RP them out would make it so people don't need to RP with him at all! rofl Quote: What are CHRISOF's motivators? He seems like a people pleaser. WHY?Is it just his nature after being subservient to his master for so long? Or is there a different motivator he has? Distinguish between what is 'habit' and what is 'his choice' with that. It's easy to assume. I feel a good standard of 'now' with him, but what does he aspire to? That I cannot say! I set him up for now, but SO MUCH depends on his interactions with the other people in the school! He is a blank slate, so to speak, finding himself through the school- I suppose this nature is because it is all he's known, and what he knows people like him ("Igors") are supposed to do/act/say from "birth". If people are mostly mean to him, he could very well become so embittered he decides to try to build some horrible death machine to kill them all (And more than likely fail, burn off his own eyebrows, or never make it past doodle-stage, but that is where his heart would be.) But if everyone's nice to him, he'll respond quite differently. His desires have yet to be formed! At present, his key motivation is: Learn enough to go to the human world, get his Master back, and return to life as normal. How his plans will deviate depends on the people he meets and the things that happen to him along the way! I don't like pre-determining too much when it comes to character development, esp. in a group RP setting where so much of the events are out of your control. I usually just start at the starting point and see where it all leads from there! If it is necessary to write out a hypothetical character development arch, I would need to make some sort of branching chart. XD Quote: I also have to ask: If he's such a good sewer, is there a reason it hasn't crossed his mind to just take the stitches out of his mouth yet? Is it a paranoia that he'll get in trouble for it? BRAINWASH MAGIC. The idea has never crossed his mind, and I think attempting to do it would send him in a panic attack. How much of this is in his head and how much of it is actual secret-keeping-magic is unknown, and I suppose a limit his fellow students will have to test! Quote: And to ask about his FEAR: How short is 'short'? I imagined it linked to the adrenalin/fear. He's a youngin' still learning his own ropes, but it is his main defense in a fight. Maybe a minute or two at first, but once older/more knowledgeable, he'll be able to do more monstrous things with it for longer periods of time. (For example, someone swings a blade at him, he could concentrate his fear to make shielding scales to try to block that blow, but if the blow is too quick for him, or there's two many blows to block, he may lose his whole arm and sadly have to go patch himself back together after the fight.) Truthfully this is a power derived from his original incarnation as an OC- I was just going to play it as "weak" to start with and amp it up as he grows. Quote: How far does his 'patience' extend before he gets frustrated with things? Depends on the situation entirely! If it's a face-palm moment he might just let it slide. If he's trying to warn people he saw some ax-murderer coming to get them all and everyone is all "TEEHEE HE'S PLAYING CHARADES" He'll definitely lose his temper right off. Always circumstantial. X) I HOPE THAT CLEARS THOSE QUESTIONS UP THEY WERE GOOD QUESTIONS! <333333 Please let me know if I should elaborate further!

those are some good responses, I only will touch on another new thought cropped up:
I think just establishing his singular 'current' motivator is enough ('He wants his master back/being a good student will lure him back to get him and/or enable -HIM- to go fetch him') is enough of a starting motivator to be enough. C:
*RUFFLES HIS HAIR* He's really adorable though. In his own patched-up way. I'm sure he'd be amazing at fixing Shehk's Autopsy-stitches when she needs it, ha ha.

He would love to, and probably be all pubsecant heart attack omg girl girl girl chest omg naked while doing so. ALSO IT MADE ME REALIZED- he COULD "talk" to a psychic, which would be entirely weird for him to have someone who could read his thoughts do so. XD THEY MIGHT BE VERY SURPRISED. Teenaged boys, sheesh. <33 Thanks so much for all the help! (And I think I did mention that motivator in the "Why are they in school" section. X) But when I carry these Q's and A's over to his FAQ section it will cover it further. Thanks again! ((goes to answer the questions she missed!))

Please let me know if that makes sense to you too before I add it to his FAQ! <3 P.S. Something I realized I totally failed to mention is he's missing half of his tongue as well, so even if the stitches were removed it wouldn't help him with his communications skills. HIS MASTER IS NEFARIOUS. :C As for intelligence otherwise, he is very smart, he's not a brain-dead zombie, I'm sure his Master would have only used the best stock of brains to make his manservant/bodyguard with! But a high IQ can be useless if you're immature otherwise. wink He's clever, but certainly no genius.

Ah, yes I went up and read that answer. I think it sounds great and makes sense as to why he hasn't thought about trying it too^^ Oh, the missing half is tongue is a good twist. It answers some of the questions that would have been brought up in the hypothetical scenario his stitches were removed.
I definitely have to give the little cutie two thumbs up heart
