[code]F L A W :[/code] [color=gray]Borderline. Dolly has BPD. He's extremely sensitive and impulsive to the point where it strains relationships. He's generally a bit difficult to get along with.[/color]
[code]V I R T U E :[/code] [color=gray]Passionate. Deep down, Dolly is a loving, caring individual by nature. He's just out of touch with this side of himself. He cares immensely about what's important to him.
[/color][/sub][/indent][/indent][hr][indent][indent][code]P E R S O N A L I T Y[/code][/indent][/indent][hr][indent][indent][h1][/h1][color=silver]To those around him, Dolly is a fierce try-hard with a serious Napoleon complex. This is all very true, but he is more than a short guy with too much attitude. Dolly's aggression is very warranted seeing that the world is cruel, and he is trying to make a point of not being an easy target. Throughout his life, he's learned to always be on guard. It's how he survived. He sees most people as a potential threat, and also gets rather insecure around people larger than him since they threaten his authority. He likes to belittle and insult others, but only if he believes he can get away with it. Though he has a hard time swallowing his pride, he will do so for survival. Deep down, he feels an obligation to stick up for the "little guy". They remind him of himself. He has an obsession with proving that he is not weak, even if he physically is. He also has a very difficult time accepting assistance from other people since he worries that it makes him appear more fragile (at least more than he already is). 

Dolly hates taking the blame when something is his fault, often shouldering it aside instead. He does not want to come face-to-face with the reality that people can see he isn't as perfect as he looks. Dolly is very hedonistic. He is very much one to take stupid risks either to be petty or just to have fun. He is outwardly promiscuous because he is tired of being ashamed of himself, and also enjoys the power it gives him. He enjoys the security he feels that comes with having control over things. He knows he's pretty and will use it to his advantage if needed, but thankfully he doesn't try to manipulate people. He is a surprisingly lonely person, only really forging relationships to fool around instead of committing to people. Commitment scares him, but he does yearn for security in both platonic and romantic relationships. He is also rather emotionally immature, so his wants don't align with his needs, and he is constantly struggling against this.[/color][/indent][/indent]

Artificial retinal enhancements. Born with albinism, his eyesight was rather poor for many years. Before these enhancements, Dolly's eyes shook from nystagmus, and he was sensitive to light. Now he is able to keep his eyes stable, view bright lights, and even see sharply in dim environments.

Pitch recognition & inner ear protection implants. Being a musical performer, his hearing is a crucial part of what he does. Exposure to loud environments can greatly damage hearing, so these devices protect the inner ear. They are similar in design to cochlear implants, and can be removed at any time for any reason. As an added bonus, they can help recognize the pitch of sounds to those born without absolute pitch.

Vocal Expansion Cords. This device is small and unseen, as it lies beneath the tissue. It is an implant in the larynx that can expand a person’s vocal range. Dolly has one so that he may sing at a soprano pitch without risk of vocal cracks or damage. Although he can shift his voice to almost any pitch at will, he prefers to speak with his “natural” voice.[/color][/indent][/indent]

Dolly is a trained vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. He’s most notably seen playing the bass or electric guitar. He knows a thing or two about music theory, too. When does flattery cross into outright manipulation? He isn’t sure. But he’s gotten pretty good at convincing people to give him what he wants.[/color][/indent][/indent]

[b]Parents[/b]
Leonard Harper, Dolly’s father. He wouldn’t say it, but he’s always been a bit ashamed of his son’s fragility…and career choice. He and Dolly never really saw eye-to-eye, but that was probably because he was never home due to work. He died about 2 years ago from a workplace accident.

Bella Harper is a teacher at Graham Hill. She loves her job, but it really doesn’t pay much. Dolly used to think his mom was the coolest, sweetest lady as a kid. Now he feels conflicted about her, as she was the one primarily coddling him, so much to the point where she homeschooled him herself. He wished she didn’t. They don’t talk much anymore.

[b]Siblings[/b]
Augustine Harper is the eldest sibling at 30 and is the only sister. She moved out of Seattle when in her older 20’s to marry and pursue her career. She had children, meaning Dolly is technically an uncle, but he’s sure he’s only met them once or twice.

Beau Harper is Dolly’s fraternal twin brother. He, unlike Dolly, shows no traits of albinism. He’s the strongest of the two and has always been protective over his brother. The two were close as children but drifted apart from a lack of interests in their teen years. Beau is often mistaken as an older brother. They haven’t spoken to each other since an argument at their father’s funeral.

[b]Friends[/b]
Hiro Kimura is a tall, tired man that’s 22 years old. To make things short and sweet: he’s a loser. That’s why Dolly likes him. Dolly doesn’t have to act peppy, cute, or upbeat around him- hell, he doesn’t even have to talk. They usually get noodles together once a week. Hiro works as a mechanic. They met in high school. 

Buck Anderlow is 23 years old and a fellow musical artist. He and Dolly collaborate often. The public is under the impression that they’re best friends, but they can barely stand each other when left alone in a room together. Dolly thinks he’s annoying, overbearing, and way too open about wanting to sleep with him. He gives Dolly the creeps. Buck actually wants to try and be close to him, but it really isn’t happening.

[b]Other[/b]
Shepard Dagenhart is Dolly’s manager and producer. They work for the same record label that Nigel owns. Dolly finds them irritating, as they tend to shut down his creative decisions in favor of doing what’ll make more money.

Nigel Vordaunt is twice Dolly’s age and generally scummy. The two met at the Electric Rose when he was about nineteen, and Nigel offered to sponsor his music career to get him out of there. Their relationship is extremely questionable, and Dolly is visibly afraid of him, but nobody’s bothered to do anything about it. Nigel sees Dolly as a pretty face and an important money-making asset. He’s a cut-throat businessman in the entertainment industry.

Dolly’s history is a smidge complicated. Never at any point in his life was he just a “normal kid”. Born with albinism and a few other health issues, he’s always been a pale and sickly child- especially since his parents couldn’t afford most treatment. They were very protective of him, because why wouldn’t they be? He was a lonely little kid, as he was primarily homeschooled until the age of 11.

He didn’t have the greatest time in middle school, though. He was a poorly socialized, short kid with barely any money. He spent a lot of his time hiding in the band room to avoid becoming a target. This was where he found his love for music- arguably his only source of comfort at this point. He joined the chorus class with enthusiasm.

In high school he was seen less as “that weird scrawny kid” and more of a subject of pity. Unlike his peers, he never hit his growth spurt. This was also around the time he found out that he was very much queer, so it was a rollercoaster and a half to go through. Perpetually infantized and filled with gay angst, he went with his only option: start a band. It was fun and gave his life more structure, but the band split not long after graduation. It was weird. His small friend group pretty much dissipated and ditched music for other careers. 

Dolly wanted to continue his musical journey, but that required having money- and any other job required skills. He shrugged, swallowed his pride, and got into various forms of adult entertainment. It was supposed to be a temporary endeavor, but he wasn’t prepared for how cruel the industry could be. Stripped of his dignity (and clothes), he was practically begging to get out when he was found by Nigel Vordaunt.

Nigel found Dolly entertaining. He became a sort of friend to the pretty young man. Maybe it was luck, maybe it was the consequences of his poor actions, but Dolly accepted a sort of sponsorship from him. It was a less-than-legal deal that required Dolly to become a sort of industry plant. He happily signed away the rights of his free time, music, and soul. Somewhere in his heart, Dolly always dreamed of being famous. It felt achievable in that moment, so of course he said yes.

The next two years of Dolly’s life had become, somehow, even more nightmarish. Nigel had revealed himself to be a verbally, sexually, and sometimes physically abusive control-freak. Dolly performs on stage for the masses mostly out of fear. He is faced with the threat of being replaced with a cybercom almost daily. Normally, he’d be completely content with being fired, but that would leave him homeless. Nigel managed to wedge himself between Dolly and his family, and he was quietly disowned. He lives exclusively for concert afterparties nowadays.[/color][/indent][/indent]

Blossom is an anthropomorphic rabbit-like android given to Dolly by Nigel. She is less “awake” than most other cybercoms, with no real personality other than to do what she is told. She often accompanies Dolly in stage performances and is somewhat of a mascot. She, like her owner, is small. Excluding the ears, she is about 3’2. Dolly doesn’t seem to like her much. Still, she follows him almost everywhere.
