Introducing... Subject

Not a typo or a stray auto-filled header!  His name really is Subject.

I've been writing about Subject (along with two other characters) ever since I had a crack at Camp NaNoWriMo and generated characters by drawing cards from my Storymatic deck.  Oddly, Subject was the character I saw most clearly from some pretty unlikely card pulls.  (In order, that's Subject, Adama the part-time gravedigger and accidental summoner of ghost, and Pete the architect who almost ran Subject over.)
He's a test subject (whose full name is Subject Forty-Seven) for a large pharmaceutical company, and he's spent his entire life as such.  But after a large-scale experiment went wrong he was the only survivor and left the facility, although he had no idea where he's going.  He ends up embroiled in a weird haunting in a graveyard, mostly by accident...  He's also psychic with a particular knack for seeing ghosts, and sets up a YouTube ghost-hunting channel with Adama and Pete.  He's a shy, sweet young man who's always determined to do the right thing, particularly if it means he can ease the passing of the restless dead, of which he was very almost one.

He's also the originator of some really, really depressing storylines, which is always fun!

So knowing what kind of character he was and how I wanted him to look, much like several other of my dolls I didn't think I'd ever really find a sculpt that seemed right.  I'd come sort of close with some IoS dolls, but also sort of not...

And then Kana re-released her Adrian sculpt, and I couldn't resist.

So Subject arrived home today!  I was a little daunted, because when I ordered her Eden he turned out to not be Alex, as I'd hoped he would be, but instead is Ais... and is still waiting for a body.  So when I opened up this package, I was so worried that he wouldn't be Subject at all.
And indeed, once I unpacked him, I did have a little wobble...

And then I saw his head angled downwards, and how pretty and shy he looked, and I fell in love all over again.

Now I just have to wait for his body to arrive...!  I'd hoped to order it before now, but he arrived so much faster than expected (no customs fee! fastest pass through customs ever!) because Kana is always such a delight to deal with.  So now I have to wait before I can do his faceup, in case I need to try to match a little between this and the Dollzone white resin body I've ordered him; he'll be on their 62cm body.

Gives me time to shop for his eyes and clothes I guess!
