maybe you can use a name like Roldalf, or Hadvar. you can look at a name generator for help too!
He doesn't have a toyhouse yet, but he's going to be the scientist who created Darcy and The Ringmaster (wip name for it).
He would have been born in America or Britain in 1893. In 1910 (he was 17) he created The Ringmaster while trying to make something that would cure depression (the ringmaster feeds off of strong emotions so I thought maybe that could be an explanation for how!) Somehow he was able to get access to a circus (perhaps that was already his cover to hide his lab as he was doing top-secret work) where he examined how the ringmaster reacted to certain things in a 'controlled' environment, the circus tent!
Sometime between 1914 and 1917, he began work for the british military, attempting to create a perfect soldier for wwi. If he lived in America before this, he would travel there under the guise of being a travelling circus, using the carnival to hide the location of his underground lab there as well.
In wwii, he finally successfully created a 'perfect soldier', who they were going to train and then send off to the front lines, creating more soldiers if this one was successful. Unfortunately, the lab was destroyed by a bomb before they had a chance to complete Darcy's training, and the scientist died.
He's gonna be a human, but when I draw him I'm gonna make him an anthro african wild dog because humans are too hard to draw for me!
I'd love any name suggestions for him!
Thanks so much if you decide to help!
