A Second one for December! May or May not post something before 2022, but this might be my last post for now.
Name: Birthname Unknown, currently known as K’Rishman, The Toy Undertaker
Date of Birth: N/A Date of (Most Recent)Death: Early 18th Century
Occupation: Toy Maker Tournament Fighter: [] Yes [X] No
Class: Hatter(Witch)
Motivation: House of Pride
Signature Type: Misfit Toys - K’Rishman can create toys through anomalous means, most of them simply falling out of his hat hole already wrapped. However, if he touches a toy that has been discarded or broken, he can animate it. He can effectively zombify toys into a small, personal army.
Soul Anchor: Old, Rusted Silver Bell - the only remnant of a lonely life.
Damned Parts: Bell, Ornamental Tail, Main Eye
Appearance: K’Rishman is the Elf to Klaus’ Santa, both the Head and Entire Employed workforce for Klaus’ workshop to ensure that all the good kids get a guaranteed gift. As a witch he created a Hat as a conduit for his power, but to support his adopted son’s career he purposefully fused with the hat to advance his own magical prowess.
Life story: Not much is known of K’Rishman by the public, Death however, has known K’Rishman for a long time like all other Visitant’s. K’Rishman was an adept Witch, especially in Conjuring, and has abstained from participating in fighting tournaments outside of the Winter Season. Before retiring, he was known as the “Impending Cold” in the fighting due to his Environmental spells and ease with Ice Elemental spells. However, with age came a need to create a legacy in case he ever decided to take the Final Death. Many speculate that when he was human, he did have a son, but lost him in the same incident that took K’Rishman’s life.
Nobody but Death and K’Rishman himself can disprove this rumor, but the elder witch is prone to dodging the question of why he accepted Klaus into his workshop.
Post-Death Story: When looking for an apprentice, Death chose the recently resurrected Klaus for K’Rishman to mentor. K’Rishman took him in without question and raised Nickolaus - now Klaus - as if he were his own child. The child, desperate to not be alone, accepted his new father and trained with him. While his spells were lacking, Klaus proved to be determined in his learning of Magical Arts. In particular, Divination. After several Centuries, Klaus would eventually set out to take on the role of Santa/Krampus for Visitants.
K’Rishman fully supported his protege and would even assist Klaus in his endeavors. They share a Doorway and Realm, available through any door that’s designated as “Santa’s Workshop” in the mortal world. Their world is a Winter Wonderland with a log cabin with an adjacent toy workshop. The center Ice Rink right under the large Christmas Tree that acts as the heart of the realm is where most fights take place. If Klaus is busy, K’Rishman will often fight in his stead. Klaus finds it embarrassing whenever his dad fights someone without telling him he has a challenger first.
