The Deity Machine: The Masterpiece
Matt Bartlett for Matthius: The last surviving doll child
Pronouns: He/him
Age:??? (effectively 25)
Species: Normal vampire (not a deity)
Alignment: Lawful good
Personality type: ISFJ
Favourite things: Reading books, chatting and learning about other cultures
Least favourite things: Depraved behaviour, bullying and shouting
Essential Plot points: Once a loved ‘doll child’ of Jasinda and destined to be the ‘Count of all vampires’, Matthius was quickly ‘shelved’ when better ‘doll children’ came along (that was…’deities’ who were more highly valued than him). Wounded, but self-respecting, he stole his own doll child manifestation from ‘the cupboard’ and took care of himself. Little did he know that action would have dramatic repercussions. When the ‘deity machine’ was destroyed, Mattihus was the only doll-child left. He now hides his true identity from the world… However, Matthius is every inch a gentleman. He is polite, kind and merciful. If only given a chance…he would be a Count better than any other…he is composed and often focused on positive goals and outcomes.
Performance: Matthius demonstrates a remarkable sense of respect for those he deals with. How you treat him is quite important…treat him with kindness and you will receive it back tenfold. Insist on experiencing ‘hedonistic’ pleasures and well…he doesn’t like that at all, but can be quite a seductive, thirsty man and ‘put on the show’. (For RD returnees…he’s a big Helmrick fan, but is far less miserable…he’d be an awesome Count.)

“I was once a vampire of noble birth, but…circumstances as they are…mean I am…’an entertainer’ now.”
“As you like it, of course. Perhaps…this kind of humiliation satisfies you. But given sociopolitical constraints, I am in no position to deny you anything.”
“...Don't you see? Your friend…has led you into this…he is convinced it is a trap. I hear all of his thoughts in my head.”
Hi Matt, as we've offered you a different role we'll dismiss this one
