Doll Character FAQ - Now with all characters!

Journal Entry: Mon May 12, 2008, 6:39 PM
Doll Stuff for sale ---> [link]
Commission work ---> [link]

I've been asked by a number of people about the stories behind my dolls. Now while I don't think my story writing is good enough to link everyone to my stories to read, I can give you a rundown of each character's storyline. Yes, this is long!

Basic overview: My dolls are part of a world created by myself and =oki-oki. Some characters owned by ~nek, ~prophetek, and ~airymilu also exist in this world. The world is like an alternate reality, where various creatures exist, and elves live comfortably amongst humans. Ophelia's country is called Lazurnoe. Yes, I know its a real place, but I was lacking inspiration when I made up the name, so it became a whole country in my world XD.

Characters mentioned that aren't mine: Hayden, Vin, Eiji, Mouse, Puffin (no longer in doll form) and Ketha (not yet in doll form) belong to =oki-oki. Del belongs to ~nek. Bella belongs to ~prophetek. Cupcake belongs to ~airymilu.

The Characters
Note: I've added links for where I got my dolls, but most of my dolls are limiteds, so you can't actually buy them from there anymore. I've simply included them because people usually ask where I've bought my dolls from.

Ophelia
Doll Scuplt: Dollmore Black Lilith [link]
Species: Elf/Shapeshifter
Current Age: 24
Ophelia has been the queen since she was 12, when her mother was assassinated. Married at 15, she was sent away by her husband at the age of 22 while her country was at war "for her own safety". During this time, she met Aleana, Vin, Hayden and Puffin. She fell in love with Vin and planned to divorce her husband and return to her country. Not long after, her bodyguard Liulfir (not yet in doll form), informed her that she had been ordered to kill Ophelia, so that her husband could take over the country. Ophelia returned to her country with all her new found friends, and with her new love, she killed her husband and took back her country.
She married Vin, and a year later had twin girls: Charlie and Lucy. Three years later, they adopt a young orphan they affectionately call "Mouse". Twenty five years later, she gives birth to Jesus, and then Kostya and Ketha (not yet in doll form) two years after that.
While Ophelia wasn't born immortal, when she learned that Vin is a phoenix who (naturally) is reborn everytime he dies, she convinced Hayden (who is the creator of time) to stop her from ever aging.


Phoenix
Doll Sculpt: CP Vampire Elf Chiwoo mod [link]
Species: Elf/Shapeshifter, though he didn't inherit any of his father's shapeshifting abilities. Was turned into a vampire at 18.
Current age: 20
Phoenix is Ophelia's younger brother. When their mother died, he was separated from her, their father taking him away to live in his homeland of Greece. They saw very little of each other from then on. When he was 18, during a little trip to Russia, he was turned into a vampire by Pavel. He stayed there with Pavel, his wife Anastazja, and her twin sister Svetlana (both not in doll form yet). Phoenix fell in love with Svetlana, but felt the need to find his sister, as he feared for her safety. With his friend Alice in tow, they found her living with Aleana and, much to his disgust, in love with Vin. Over time he comes to accept Vin, but at first Phoenix doesn't like him at all. Phoenix and Aleana have a casual relationship that doesn't really go anywhere, but they remain close (and still sleep with each other from time to time >.>;). At Vin and Ophelia's engagement party, Phoenix meets Eiji, another vampire. Not long after they fall in love. Their relationship is crazy, passionate and possessive. A couple of years later, Svetlana appears, and Phoenix ends up falling in love with her all over again. For the next twenty five years he juggles both relationships, despite Eiji's protests. Finally, Eiji gives him an ultimatum: her or me. Phoenix chooses Eiji and ends his relationship with Svetlana, but not long after she informs him that she's pregnant with is child. As Svetlana and Anastazja are on the run from Pavel, their son Avel (not yet in doll form) must live with Phoenix and Eiji.


Aleana
Doll Sculpt: Dolkot Kiss girl [link]
Species: Human
Current Age: 19
Aleana comes from a high class family, but always considered herself the black sheep. Once good friends with Del, one stupid afternoon led her to being a young, pregnant teenager. Her parents separated her from Del and adopted out the child. Aleana focused her time on her school work and Cello for the next few years, before running into Del at a local shopping mall. They became friends once more, and decided to track down their daughter, who they affectionately call "Cupcake". Aleana starts to fall for Del, but he doesn't reciprocate her love.
She moves out of home and becomes housemates with Ophelia, at first unaware that she is actually a queen. When Ophelia and the rest move back to her palace, Aleana remains, moving in with Del instead. She continues to hope that Del will one day admit his love for her.
Aleana's dream is to be a DJ. While she gets gigs here and there, she gets better paid work playing the Cello.


Pavel
Doll Sculpt: Soom Namu mod [link]
Species: Vampire
Current Age: 304 (was turned at 25)
Pavel comes from a once powerful vampire clan that was all but destroyed 250 years ago. Distancing himself from the remaining members of the clan, he became a bounty hunter, taking much pleasure in torturing and killing other vampires for money.
In the late 1800s he meets and falls in love with a young woman named Anastazja, marrying her and turning her into a vampire. Despite his protests, he also turned her twin sister Svetlana by her request.
One day he finds Svetlana feeding on Phoenix. Realising who he is, he stops her from killing him, instead turning him, in the hope that having a vampire Prince as a childe will be useful. Much to his annoyance, Phoenix would rather have nothing to do with him, so he likes to fuck with his head from time to time, just to remind him who has the power.

Alice
Doll Sculpt: Serendipity Boding Boding Alice
Species: Demon
Current Age: 17
A childhood friend of Phoenix, Alice shared their bond of losing their mothers at an early age. Phoenix took her under his wing, caring for her. When Phoenix fell in love with Eiji, he stopped spending time with her. She immersed herself in her inventions, creating robots and other crazy things. One day, a demon named Bella arrived at the palace, informing Alice that she knew her mother, and promised before she died to watch over her.
Alice is mute, and communicates with people telepathically. She has incredible psychic powers, but has no reason to use them.


Charlie
Doll Sculpt: Bambicrony Elf Gun [link]
Species: Elf/Shapeshifter/Angel/Demon/Phoenix-thing (ITS COMPLICATED!)
Current Age: 3
The oldest twin, Charlie is heiress to the throne. Charlie would rather be a cowboy than a princess. She is very much a tomboy, not understanding why her sister Lucy would want to spend all her time playing fairies. When Mouse arrives, she's happy to have a boy to play with, but hates her parents' affections for him. As a result she bullies him often. As she grows up, her and Mouse become the best of friends.

Lucy
Doll Sculpt: Bambicrony Elf Gun [link]
Species: see Charlie
Current Age: 3
Lucy is a princess. Its all she'll ever be. Right now she has no problems with this, happily living her life playing fairies with anyone who'll pay attention to her. But as she gets older, she gets tired of coming second to Charlie.
She has an admiration of Puffin, who suddenly leaves one night when she is three. Without him about she feels lost and empty. By the time he returns ten years later, she has built him up to be something greater than he is.. something he can never live up to.

Jesus
Doll Sculpt: K-doll SP Kill_U [link]
Species: see Charlie, though he only takes on Vin's abilities.
Current Age: 22
Nicknamed Zeus, its obvious to everyone that Jesus is Vin's favourite. The most like him, his favouritism of the boy causes strain on his relationship with Ophelia, as well as his other two boys. Jesus and Ophelia don't get along at all, and its not till Vin dies (and is reborn) when Jesus is 22 that they begin to understand each other.
A failing art student, Zeus likes to spend his parents' money traveling around Europe. He eventually moves to his favourite city, Paris, where he meets a woman who will change his life forever.

Kostya
Doll Sculpt: CP Juri 07 Type A [link]
Species: see Charlie, though he has inherited mostly Ophelia's abilities.
Current age: 20
Kostya has always been different to the rest. Always incredibly calm, he could always get his way just by telling his parents calmly what he wanted. By 16 he was traveling the world: meditating with Buddhist monks for months on end, helping communities in third world countries, exploring ancient ruins. People are unconsciously drawn to him, and he begins to form a small gathering of followers....


I hope that wasn't too boring.. or confusing.

That's cool.^_^
Sorry, one more question... XD
Do you think you'll ever do anything with the story? Like publish it or anything? It has great potential. I could totally see it as a manga series or something. Or even a novel maybe.

And you're welcome! <3

I bought my first doll Ophelia, and started to create a story around her. Some dolls were characters before I had them as dolls, and others I bought first then created a character that fit into the story.

Glad you like them, thank so much <3
~Arenheim:iconArenheim: 11 hours 58 minutes ago
I love your photographs, and the clothes you make for your dolls are beautiful! *o*

I was wondering (and sorry if this is a dumb and/or repeated question), did you come up with the story for your dolls before you started buying them? Or did it just develop and grow after you'd bought a few? Love the story, BTW. ^_^

what sites have you checked out? The best place to go is to [link] there's a list there of all the bjd suppliers, as well has heaps of other info. :3
~Greybo:iconGreybo: 2 days 2 hours ago

*kawaiimon:iconkawaiimon: 2 days 3 hours ago
hehe, yeah her boys are gorgeous, I can see why they'd spur you on to check them out :3
~Greybo:iconGreybo: 2 days 3 hours ago
Oh cool :)

Well when I first saw them, it was on the homepage of dA and the picture was by oki oki so I thought I'd check it out and I loved them xD lol
*kawaiimon:iconkawaiimon: 2 days 5 hours ago
Friends of mine had them first. I actually didn't like them at the time, but I started to research them more and found a doll I liked and it started from there. XD
~Greybo:iconGreybo: 2 days 5 hours ago
Hmmm, cause I'm thinking of getting one (I'm gonna have to beg my mum for one though lol) and I live in the UK so it will probably take a while.

But thanks for that anyway :) How did you get interested in ABJDs?
*kawaiimon:iconkawaiimon: 2 days 5 hours ago
Umm it varies. Some have been as quick as the day I bought them (took three days to get to me), and others have taken a month or so. Depends on whether the company has already made them yet, if you've buying them blank or with a faceup (that takes even more time), and if the company has a backlogue of orders or not.
~Greybo:iconGreybo: 2 days 5 hours ago
Aww, but thats good that your good, lol.

Just wondering, how long did it take for your dolls to ship?
*kawaiimon:iconkawaiimon: 2 days 6 hours ago
I'm cold, but good :3
~Greybo:iconGreybo: 3 days 1 hour ago
