For Toy, the most developed character I have ever damn written.
1. Toy’s daughter Arrow survived the war and the re-write, remembering who he was and what he became. She settled down and lived a long, long life of her own.
2. Toy thinks the people he cares about deserve better than him, leading to both hurting them and endangering them in equal quantities.
3. Toy trained Duke with the full intention of sacrificing him to gain in power. It was only after some time that he began to think of the stallion as anything other than a tool with which to gain power.
4. Toy is pretty much invulnerable to physical harm, lacking internal organs or anything that could be easily damaged.
5. Toy would be a caretaker at the University he once lived in, so that he could see his wife and child without them having to suffer knowing him.
6. Toy likes listening to wind chimes on the mansion’s roof.
7. Toy always believed that the princesses were trying to make things better.
11. Duke Cypher, because he represented a chance to prevent his own perceived failures in another.
12. Toy doesn’t wish he could have avoided his own fall, because it is so integral to his character that he doesn’t consider it possible for it to have transpired any other way. Instead, Toy wishes that he could die with a clean slate, and all his failures paid for.
14. He’s been caught stroking his medallion before. He denied everything afterwards.
15. Regret can only apply to decisions or choices, discounting the events leading up to his death. His greatest regret would probably be deciding to give Duke space, leading to his being corrupted by the House.
16. Toy has two deep, pervading fears: being controlled by his name, and not managing to save someone.
17. At the end of the first Grimdark incident, when Jigsaw had been disarmed and everything looked like it would be ok, before Z’s violence gave him the energy to escape. After all that, he wasn’t able to save him.
18. He died with a clean slate. Alternately, he saved Whitney.
19. That Duke will find someone to settle down with, and maybe tell the kids stories of the big grey golem he used to know.
20. Toy is obsessed with keeping people from making the same decisions he did.
21. It was kinda overpowered by mind numbing fear, but Duke giving in to the temptation of the House.
22. The whole world being turned into Name-souls like him.
23. Toy wants to stay true to what Whitney saw in him, before he died.
24. Risen In Vain was University City’s greatest and only Necromancer, kept as a potential weapon of mass destruction to keep enemy nations at bay. Despite this, she was a kind and caring mother who maybe didn’t know quite how one was supposed to treat a child. In the before world, Toy’s mother was a sorcerer and commander of many armies.
25. Blue boom was an alchemist, but not a terribly good one. Fitting the template of an enthusiastic but less-than-capable father, he eventually blew himself up, and was raised by his wife as an undead. While almost mindless in this form, he stayed for many years longer than he should have. In the before world, he was a great and inspiring leader who lived to see his son’s rise to glory.
26. Indirectly, with his family. Toy misses his wife and child greatly, but just doesn’t want them to have to live knowing him.
27. Toy was the only child. In the before world, due to a birth defect, he was born with no magic whatsoever despite his horn. This led to his Patron, Kin-Ay, to imbue a tiny part of her soul into him and allowing him access to her brand of power.
29. No bedroom. The only material belongings from his previous life that Toy kept were the silver locket containing a picture of him and Whitney his mother gave him. Given the revelation of the Before world, it is unknown where the locket came from or if it was a construct of Toy’s delusion all along.
30. Toy was born on the Winter Solstice, the night where darkness begins to return to light. It eventually manifested in his potential to be better than his birthright.
