Powers/Abilities:The Toymaker's creations seem to be largely linked to a strange kind of pseudoscience; As long as the thing he is trying to create sounds remotely possible it will work perfectly fine regardless of if the laws of physics and reality say otherwise. If the Toymaker was to throw together a flying car it would work like people imagine a flying car would work... provided that the person driving the car doesn't understand why it shouldn't.
Once the creation is removed from the Toymaker's presence, it continues to function normally until someone with an understanding of technology and reality gets their hands on it and inspect it properly... at which point it will most likely explode as logic and reality take over. Creations in the Toymaker's presence don't suffer from this fatal flaw; A possible super power maybe?
Personality: A megalomaniac with delusions of grandeur, Andrew (AKA: Toymaker) believes himself to be the savior of humanity via uniting it under his brilliant leadership and leading it towards a bright future of science and invention. This is a goal he has completely committed himself to and he believes that the grand future that he will bring about will justify some of the acts he has to commit in order to reach his goal. Provided that you are not actively trying to stop his plans for ascending humanity, he is actually rather friendly; As strange as some of his inmates in Arkham Asylum might find it, he actually bares no grudge against Batman for taking him down.
History:
Born in Gothem to an upper middle class family, Andrew had a much better childhood than most; He had a loving family who ensured that he had access to the things that he needed to succeed in life. Discovering a love for putting things together at a very young age, Andrew pursued his passion to a masters in engineering and was actively working towards earning enough money to pursue a doctorate in engineering when the 'incident' happened.
In order to help pay for his education, Andrew had gotten a job at a toy company. At first he was merely someone who worked on the floor but in time he managed to snag a job higher up in actively designing new kinds of toys for the company to produce. Things were going well... until Andrew produced a robotic pony design to go with some cartoons brand of toys. While his prototypes, alphas and beta versions of the toy worked worked perfectly, when the company attempted to produce some of the new toys on their own without Andrew being apart of the process nine out of ten of them caught fire. An inspection discovered that the fault lay in the designs themselves and that such things should have long been uncovered.
Andrew was fired for 'Gross Negligence' due to letting such a dangerously hazardous toy make it to the mass production stage and his name buried in the mud in engineering cycles because of the incident.
Completely heartbroken and lost in a downwards spiral as everything he had worked so hard for fell apart around him, Andrew was staring at the roof above his bed when something snapped in his mind. It was his fate,
no his destiny to raise mankind above the pointless wars and horrible afflictions that plagued it! Everything in his life had been heading in that direction but there were people who didn't want him to achieve that utopia out of petty spit and greed... People like his former employers and co-workers, who must have sabotaged his designs in order to destroy his reputation to try and stop him.
For the good of human kind, they needed to be removed from the world...
When Andrew returned to the toy company, he had a small but highly dangerous and deadly army of 'Toys' with him. The hostage situation lasted a good six hours with the higher ups of the company slaughtered in cold blood. The hostage situation ended due to the involvement of Batman taking Andrew (Or the Toymaker as he had been labeled by the police) down painfully. Deemed mentally unfit for jail, Andrew was sent to Arkham Asylum.
Once the red had fade from his vision after the toy company purge, Andrew couldn't help but feel that all things considered this was the best outcome of a rash, foolish move on his behalf. While Batman could have been a little less rough about it, Andrew had to acknowledge that Batman had most likely saved his life that night; A fist to the face is a lot less lethal then a sniper bullet through the brain.
He wasn't in the Asylum for long though... with the creation of Arkham city he found himself under the open sky once again, though surrounded by highly dangerous people following warlord like gang bosses. But that was just fine... he had to start somewhere after all and there was plenty of resources he could work with...
