Character Information
Summary
A socially reclusive Mystic Adept in the Shinto tradition, Ragamuffin is intended to be a wetwork-shy summoner who is not a total slouch when in the crosshairs. Leaning heavily on his small army of shikigami—who demand his finest work rather than the more traditional paper dolls—he can support his spirits and his team from the backline with most of the talents of a proper mage... minus a few glaring holes.
Goals
- Maintaining his late grandfather's unprofitable clock shop, the Ticking Tiger, by any means necessary. Even if it means he has to run the shadows.
- Perfecting his dollmaking craft beyond his current capabilities.
- Learning to be social—with metahumans, not dolls and spirits—again... maybe...? ...maybe not, it's scary out there...
Background
Narrative Significant Qualities
- Day Job (10 Hours)
- Continuing the operation of his late grandfather's vintage clock shop is Ragamuffin's current foremost priority. Sure, business is too slow to justify more than a couple hours of work on the best of days, but giving up on it simply isn't an option.
- Social Stress
- Wanting to proudly show off his doll-making talents he had learned from his grandfather, a young Harper proudly brought his then-best friend to see the not-at-all-alarming collection of dolls he had made just for such an occasion, all made in the likeness of his soon-to-be ex-best friend and the rest of their social circle. His friend reacted poorly, and Harper quickly became known as the "Weird Doll Kid." What followed was a parade of angry parents banging on the door and demanding that the dolls resembling their children be disposed of and an abrupt end to Harper's hopes of a regular social life. While by now most everybody involved has forgotten the incident, every day Ragamuffin both fears being recognized as the Weird Doll Kid and refuses to let go of his passion.
- Disheveled
- Hair that never quite obeys brush or comb, and clothes that never quite smooth out even after being ironed. Ragamuffin has surrendered his appearance to this disorder, which only makes it worse.
- Faceless
- If they can't see his face, they won't recognize him as the Weird Doll Kid.
- ...right?
- If they can't see his face, they won't recognize him as the Weird Doll Kid.
- Spirit Whisperer
- While Ragamuffin's social reclusion has resulted in an atrophy of his interpersonal skills, he feels right at home with both the kami he can summon and the homunculi he makes to help in his workshop.

Symbols and Signatures
A ballistic mask, memorable for its simple design of three black circles on white. He will not appreciate any comparisons to a Shy Guy.
A legion of cartoonish doll-spirits. Charming or nightmarish, depends on one's disposition.

Appearance
A lanky and disheveled elven youth whose pale green eyes are underscored by dark lines and are almost certainly darting about the room worriedly if they are visible. His blonde hair is marked by streaks of stress-gray.
Clothing
As Ragamuffin, an oversized armored jacket meant to make him look bigger than he is—in truth, it just makes him look like a kid wearing his big brother's clothes—and a white ballistic mask marked with three black circles in an equilateral triangle to give the impression of a face from any angle.
As Harper, outdated faux-Victorian if he is attempting to be professional. An oversized t-shirt and pajama pants if he is not.
Matrix Persona
His icon is a pixelized-beyond-readability set of instructions for making one's first doll.
His persona is one of many publicly uploaded amigurumi renders, whichever one has captured his fascination at any given moment.
