//demon barber: a fables quest//
(spoken in a British accent) Hallo, and welcome to my quest! It's for a semi-custom Fables child...
...though you probably knew that because this thread is in the BLOODY FABLES GUILD.
...
...anyhoo. Please be forewarned that this thread is currently doing NOTHING except taking up space because all my attention is going into my GOtP quest. As soon as I finish that one, though, I'll be working like hell on this one, so it's not a total waste of bandwidth.
So what and who am I questing for, anyway? Read on... (ominous music)
o1. the front page (you are here)
o2. the legend
o3. the child
o4. the family
o5. the funds
o6. the links
o7. the place where you can start posting.

//the legend//
The legend of Sweeney Todd, of European origin.
Known as the "Demon Barber of Fleet Street," Sweeney Todd was a barber who set up a shop in London in the (year), and promptly started killing his clients for their money. The process was wonderfully ingenious: he would slit his victim's throat with his razor, then trip a hidden lever in the floor that would flip a panel under the barber chair, dumping the bleeding customer unceremoniously into the basement while bringing up a new, empty barber chair (to prevent people from walking by and wondering why there wasn't a chair in the shop). After he'd looted any valuables, Sweeney would drag said victim along a hidden passageway to Ms. Lovett's pie shop. She owned a meat pie shop; I think you can figure out the rest.
(better version coming later)
(all information stolen borrowed from here)
So, yes, my kiddlet is going to be a reincarnation of Sweeney. Take cover.

//the child//
(form taken from front page)
Name: Todd (going to change this...)
Gender: Male
Fable: Sweeney Todd
Key Item: Old-timey barber's razor. Picture coming soon, yo.
Hairstyle: Longish, shaggy.
Hair Color: Red-orange.
Skin Color: Pale
Clothing: Casual. Ripped jeans, T-shirts with witty sayings, tennis shoes, etc.
Personality: The original Sweeney was a rather depressed and angry guy, but the reincarnation just wants to have a good time. With the occasional killing spree thrown in, but you can't hold that against him. So think jokes, laughs, friends with everyone and anyone, and secret plotting against them at night. He's also a greedy little b*****d with a love for shiny valuable things and no qualms about stealing them. Nice guy, eh?
Eh, don't look at him that way. He's got some good points. He's an excellent entrepreneur (can't wait to see his version of the classic lemonade stand), quick-witted and quick-moving, and has unusual skill with small pointy objects in battle. And he loves pie.
Most people suspect he has more than a few screws loose, which is probably true.
Obviously he doesn't have any kind of problem with his past. He'll probably be thrilled to embrace it and become a Fable. None of this lame ol' Child of Hamlin business.
Markings: Nothing special. He might get a tattoo later. O.o
Eye Color: Blue-green
Eye Style: Narrow, with a perpetually cynical expression.
Extra: Generally holding a slice of pie. XP

//the family//
Meet and greet the new parental units and siblings. They'll get along great. [/sarcasam]
Taylor: A college student and science geek who is currently way in over her head with... well, horribly violent children of mysterious origin invading her dorm room and generally causing havoc. When not yelling at them or her notoriously malfunctioning laptop, she reads, studies animals, and tries not to go insane. She's failing.
Diacyn: Also known as the Guardian of Death by Hypothermia, or occasionally a Drip of Despair (long story). Diacyn was Taylor's first "child." He's bald, aggressive, grumpy, a total poser, a ninja wannabee, and he eats kittens.
Ako: Welp, technically he doesn't exist yet, but he WILL by the time Sweeney shows up if I have anything to say about it. Ako is a vampire and ANOTHER reincarnated serial killer. They could be friends! Actually, they'll probably be worst enemies, because Ako's personality is the complete opposite; shy, easily embarrassed, and angstier then you.
The cats: Technically two cats and a fox. They basically sleep and annoy Diacyn, so they have no relevance to the story at all. But I thought I'd put them in anyway.

//the funds//
NOTE: DO NOT DONATE ANYTHING TO THIS QUEST RIGHT NOW.
Right now I'm working on my GOtP quest. If you feel the need to donate, send some money that way.
This thread is just a place for jotting down my ideas until the GOtP thread hits 350k or I win an auction. Then I'll be questing like a maniac here.
Funds needed: It depends on who I want to draw this. The person I REALLY want (Sciz) is currently charging 500k, but I doubt I'll have the patience for that. So... probably around 200-300k ish. *twitch*
