✦ Name: Francesco Sarrasini
✦ Age: Looks approximately 20, has been alive for 9.
✦ Birthday: We just don’t know
✦ Gender: Diva, answers to he/him
✦ Category: Citizen
✦ Occupation: Actor in training, bedazzler of all props and settings.
✦ Species: Living Puppet.
✦ Appearance Description:
This redhead stands at five feet and seven inches. He looks thin but he is one heavy piece of moving wood. His eyes are green and his irises are made from emerald. Francesco’s skin is pretty smooth and has a soft brown shade, except for his eyelids, which are black for some unknown reason. He is jointed like a regular doll, but his face and hands look and move like a human’s for realism, though sometimes he draws the lines on his mouth to give the puppet look. No scars or other unusual markings are present on his skin.
If you cut his short orange hair, it will grow back to its original length. This is due to a magical self-repair spell he was built with.
He exaggerates expressions, gestures and movements, looking like he was taken straight out of a cartoon.
His fashion sense is terrible; please help him buy a new one. Francesco has zero idea about combining colors, and he loves sparkly things, or the kind of stuff that would make you look away because you can’t stand it. The only decent clothes in his wardrobe are some shirts he’s been gifted, the rest of it is… well, Francesco stuff. Sometimes he bedazzles his entire face or some other parts of his body, just for fun. Instead of makeup, he just puts glitter on himself whenever he pleases.

✦ Personality Description:
Francesco was created to be the star of the show, and he lives by it.
Sure, he’s not the number one anymore, but he still believes he’s very important and should be treated accordingly. This little puppet is selfish and incredibly annoying, he will do anything to get what he wants, which usually involves pulling a tantrum or whining until he succeeds. He will try to manipulate other people’s emotions to make them like him, give him something for free, or fear him if he is feeling uncomfortable. No regrets.
While acting or when he’s not being annoyed, he behaves like a very cheery person. Always encourages his audience and occasionally he gets into their personal space to look "friendlier". This is the same out of stage, with added rudeness, sassy comments and even more disrespect of personal space.
If he sees a chance to spook you, he will take it and laugh it off the moment he succeeds. Does he care about actually frightening you? Not a single bit, the scarier the better. When something frightens him, Francesco becomes aggressive and pretends he’s not actually frightened with a cocky façade. This usually earns him a few hits on the face, but hey, gotta act harmless only when you know you can win. If anger him but you’re close to him, then he will probably cross his arms and frown all irritated.
Most of his emotions are dull imitations of what he has seen others feel, mixed with what his powers let him sense. Still, he doesn’t feel like a normal person would, at least not with the same strength, and sometimes he reacts inappropriately to certain situations. Even though he has been alive for 9 years, he is not a child. He was "born" with sort of a "default maturity", so he is just a childish young adult.
In conclusion: not a nice person, very demanding and actual diva.
✦ Species Abilities:
Magic Powered Puppet:
Francesco doesn’t age or eat thanks to the fact that he is literally a puppet. He gets all of his energy from sleeping, so he needs his eight hours and a good nap if necessary.
This has other advantages, like being able to endure hits more than a regular human would and also detaching his limbs and head without dying of it. Though reattaching them is not pleasant. The self-repair spell that makes his hair grow back also heals superficial scratches and imperfections, but it does not heal severe injuries nor does it make lost body parts grow back. This spell can't repair core damage either.
His body might be made out of wood and other strange things, but strong ones indeed. If one or more of Francesco’s limbs were destroyed, they could be replaced by new ones with the right spells and materials. So how do you kill this brat? Destroy the core inside his chest completely; though there are a few protection spells placed there by his creator. He was a fairly weaker emergency core on his head, which allows it to be separated from his body and remain conscious.
The protection spells are there to shield his cores from any natural accidents that could lead to them being destroyed. His head's core is easy to destroy with brutal force, and the one on his chest needs to be broken by strong magic. He can be shut down completely by the warlock who created him, the one who vanished shortly after he was given life, with a few words. Sadly, the shut down words were lost with the warlock's disappearance.
Last but not least, since his consciousness was created and then placed into the vessel that is his body, Francesco can split his own and put bits of it inside inanimate objects for a short period of time. This grants him the power to control these objects as, ironically, puppets. This drains his energy fast, and he can only control two or three at the same time, so he usually needs a nap after splitting his mind.

✦ Powers:
Heartstrings:
This little puppet is able to manipulate your emotions to make you feel the way he wants you to. It is not very powerful, tho. He has learnt how to feel his own emotions through this power.
The closer he is to you, the more real the sensation is. It gets stronger when he’s touching you. Someone with strong mental barriers can block Francesco’s power easily. Not much of his energy is drained while using this, but he might get tired if he’s trying really hard to make multiple people feel a strong emotion at the same time. The more unlikely the person is to feel the way he's trying to force them to, the weaker his influence is.
✦ Biography:
Created as the ringmaster of a circus-themed Italian restaurant, all Francesco saw the first years of his short life was the stage and tables of this place. He was the only sentient attraction and pretty much the reason why anyone ever came; the food wasn’t that good to be honest.
He is the puppet child of a powerful energy-bending warlock and one, who would become his master, specialized in dolls. They created Francesco as an experiment, combining their powers for the fun of it. His master wanted to create something fancy that would give them enough money to live for a while, even if some of the components were harvested from humans. The powerful warlock left without a word barely after Francesco was brought to life, he was never seen again on the islands.
Francesco was happy anyway. Everything seemed to work out perfectly, until they were caught. Turns out that building a living puppet out of wood and some human parts wasn’t the only illegal thing his master was doing. So when it was clear that they were going to get caught, he ran, ran away as fast as he could.
Who cared about the one who had given him life? The only important thing was himself. Francesco wasn’t going to leave the stage and applause for a dirty cell, and he didn’t even want to think about facing destruction!
But Francesco was clumsy and knew nothing about the real world, so it was extremely easy to track him down. That was the first time he begged. He couldn’t cry, but the desperation in his broken voice was enough to convince the authorities. He was an abomination, but he was sentient and had a mind of his own, so killing him was a last resort.
After much deliberation, his custody was given to Cardamon van Oranje-Nassau. They tried to give Francesco some reasonable argument for this decision, but the truth behind it was that they didn’t know what to do with him and Cardamon was a citizen with a condition similar to his own.
With some boring clothes he was given to replace his raggedy ringmaster outfit, he was left on Cardamon’s door. At first, he was an unstoppable brat who wouldn’t take a no for an answer and demanded everything just like the most annoying of kids. After a few days, he calmed down a little and he’s currently trying to learn how to be a normal citizen.
He started attending the local theatre with other citizens and students to take theatre classes. Francesco does not attend any sort of school, only the theatre since he just can't stand nor school nor college. This gives Cardamon some afternoons free of the bedazzling monster that he is.
✦ Additional Information:
• Smells like wood polish, he has a weird obsession with spraying his arms with that lemony thing.
• Has a ridiculous fake Italian accent. It was to entertain the customers. He actually isn’t fluent in Italian; all he knows is the usual stereotypical words and sentences.
• Adores all things that are loud, his favorite is punk and rock music. He'd like to learn how to play drums because it looks fun.
• Owns a bedazzling gun and he’s not afraid to use it.
• He loves musical theatre but he can’t sing. Whenever he tries to all that comes out of his mouth is horrible deafening sounds.
• Dreams of becoming a famous actor.The closer he is to you, the more real the sensation is. It gets stronger when he’s touching you.
