The Madd Hatter
11-17-06, 03:47 PM
Name: Frederick Von Maddsenberg
Aliases: “Freddy”, “The Madd Hatter”, “Madd”
Age: Old enough to drink, but not old enough to know God.
Race: That’s a very good question, tell me when you find out.
Eye Color: A quaintly incredible amber that dives into your soul and carefully chips away at your inhibitions against love.
Hair Color: Soft brown, the color of fresh dirt as the sun rises and shines on it for the first time after a harsh rain.
Apparel: The Madd Hatter, of course, wears a top hat. Despite the common fad, his top hat is a dark blue with a soft black silk band around it. Tucked into the band is a tarot card with an engraving of Tyr, the god of justice, on the back. This is only one of his innumerable hats, however, but it is his favorite and he is most often seen wearing it. To match the quaint top hat, this noblesse wears a matching dark blue long coat that almost barely touches the ground; fancy black leather shoes, simple dark blue pants that match cloth and color with his coat, and a black silk shirt finish his attire. The shirt is always buttoned up to the second to last button, showing his collarbones. Freddy is often described as drop-dead handsome, but with a very recognizable face. Everyone who sees him gets a strange feeling of déj* vu, and even men feel an attraction to him. This is only a momentary experience, and as soon as he begins to talk the interaction fades and reality cuts in. Though nobody can seem to find out where he stores them or carries them, Freddy has an almost uncountable amount of hats, with suits to match. All of the hats resemble in some manner a top hat, even if distorted, and all the suits are of the same cut but with colors and designs to match the hat.
The Manifest: Freddy is mad, yes, but he isn’t completely insane. He is awkward and strange and unpredictable, but he is also supernatural. With an endless imagination, Freddy can apparently summon things from his very dreams to manifest them into solidity. Like all dreams, though, those who do not believe in his manifestations aren’t effected by them. If this mad child brings out of his dreamscape a sword and lets it cut into someone, if that special someone truly doesn’t believe the sword is real, then it shall pass through them like a ghost. However, as he is mad, Freddy believes in everything he manifests and anything he summons is as real to him as anything else is, and thus can be used against him. If one believes in the solidity of the objects, then they are as solid as they should be.
--Limitations: At the current moment the Madd Hatter can only manifest small items or a large set of neutral items. This means he could create a dagger, or a table with tea. His manifestations can affect any non-sentient being or inanimate object as if they were real, for nature knows truth and believes in what is real. If any magic is cast directly on any of his manifestations they will lose solidity and break apart. A magically created candle flame would bring down a dreamed castle. Anyone within a manifestation will not be hurt by falling pieces, for they turn ethereal whether you believe in them or not.
--Possibilities: If it is a neutral item, Freddy can manifest almost anything that is within a 10’ cube in size. Neutral means that it isn’t designed for battle nor will it be used for battle. His manifestations can be summoned with any illusionary imagery he likes, making them simply pop into appearance, or grow out of something. It is his dreams; they come and go as he pleases. With neutral manifestations, he cannot hurt another person unless they hurt themselves by not believing. He cannot, for example, sweep a set of stairs out of existence whilst someone stands on it. Weapon wise, Freddy can only create an item within the limit of a 1’ cube. Damaging manifestations will be the strength of iron and also cannot be dispelled on command. If someone is wielding it, even another person, it cannot be dispelled. If it is within a person, it cannot be dispelled. If magic is cast on it, it will be dispelled despite the above conditions.
The Wardrobe: Like mentioned in his appearance, Freddy has innumerable hats and suits to match. He can walk into a room and walk out the next second and be changed, without any time elapsed. Just like any other manifest, the suits give no armor protection and can be changed with any illusionary nicety that is wanted. Really, it is only for Freddy’s own amusement.
Tarot Readings: The Madd Hatter’s tarot deck is no normal deck. Each card has a silver engraving on the backside showing what type of card it is. On the front it is a blank page, but whoever flips the card sees whatever the card represents for them. Though the Madd Hatter pulls out a full deck, he normally only takes the top five cards. Because of this, nobody has ever seen what the rest of the cards represent except the top six. They are; Death, Justice, Heart, Sin, Truth, and Sacrifice. Each can show different things depending on the formation they are laid in and the order they are flipped. Freddy cannot give himself a tarot reading, or so he says. He refuses to flip the cards over himself. The cards cannot hurt someone, but they might damage them emotionally. When a card is flipped, it will show a picture to the flipper that will be completely obvious in meaning to them. Everyone else who gazes will simply see a blank card.
--The Heart’s Diamond: The Heart’s Diamond is a special tarot reading formation. It is one that the Madd Hatter is infamous for, because he only does it to people he thinks either needs it or deserves it. The Heart’s Diamond involves five cards laid down, Justice, Heart, Sin, Truth, and Death. The five cards are placed at the four directions, with Death at the center. Justice is closest to the person being read, Heart is closest to Freddy. Sin is to the reader’s right side, and Truth is to their left. In this reading, the order doesn’t matter as long as Death is flipped last. The reading that will be presented by each card is as follows; Justice will show the reader what justice they deserve, Heart will show them their truest love, Sin shall show to them their greatest mistake, Truth will tell them the answer to their deepest question, and Death will tell what they most regret. It is called the Heart’s Diamond because it reveals one’s own heart to oneself, especially for those who are confused about their feelings. After the reading, there is no doubt lingering. It can be beneficial, or ruining.
Language: Freddy somehow is able to speak any language at any time. Though he only speaks the language when it is appropriate or when around a denizen of that language, he seems completely ignorant of other languages when he doesn’t need to know them. If someone speaks something, even if it is gibberish, he will understand the meaning intended to be conveyed. If it truly is gibberish and has no meaning, then he will hear it simply as gibberish.
