==History==
===Past===
40 years ago, on March 23, Martin Blyndeff was born in Sweet Jazz City, Taiga Country.Epithet Erased on Twitter - October 19, 2022
He at some point married Calliope Blyndeff. She was a very serious woman but Martin was able to balance that out with his overly laid back personality.
Due to wanting his kids to have "unique names" he had Calliope pick the nicknames for them while he picked the full names, but his nicknames were ridiculous.TWO-LOWEEN The first of his kids was born on October 18, 17 years ago,Lorelai Promotional Infocard for Prison of Plastic and was named Lorelainebacker (Lorelai). Five years later, on October 25,Molly Promotional Infocard for Prison of Plastic Molly-Wolly-Doodle-All-the-Day (Molly) was born.
At some point the two started a toy store, the Blyndeff Toy Emporium, with it being very successful. Martin would make the toys and Calliope would handle the business side of things.Prison of Plastic
2 years ago, Calliope died in a housefire, putting the whole family in a difficult financial situation, however they were able to get a new live-in store in a worse part of town thanks to a family friend. However, the store still faced several problems. First off, a worse neighborhood meant less costumers to come buy the expensive custom playsets Martin made. Second was Martin's general incompetency, being unable to be trusted with normal adult responsibilities, like doing taxes. Thirdly Being understaffed due Marin and Lorelai often refusing to work (leaving Molly to cover cashier shifts). All this left Molly shouldering the responsibility of the will-being of the whole family, including Martin.
Her father had managed to work out a system with the school where Molly worked even days and Lorelai went on odd ones.Prison of Plastic, Prologue A: The Neo Trio
One time Molly came home to find Martin had bought a giant sized kiddy pool and several expensive pool toys. He was about to fill it up but he forgot to pay the water bill. Now they occupy 90% of the floorspace of the store.
Phoenica Fleecity has attempted to gift money to Martin Blyndeff but after a couple early attempts the bank refuses to give him money.Epithet Erased on Twitter - Dec 10, 2022

==Relationships==
===Molly Blyndeff===
Molly is Martin's youngest daughter. Martin has been shown to be a very awful and negligent parent, taking Molly's phone to play video games, forgetting her while leaving the museum, and making her stay night shifts at the toy store.
===Lorelai Blyndeff===
Lorelai is Martin's oldest daughter. Compared to his treatment for Molly, Martin shows more favoritism towards Lorelai, always leniently letting her indulge and immerse in her own created worlds with her Epithet so she can flex with her creativity. He also sides with her arguments half the time. However, his bias towards her has subsequently enabled her bratty and irresponsible behavior.
===Calliope Blyndeff===
Calliope was Martin's wife. Not much is known about their relationship, but it had been hinted that despite his own irresponsibility and laziness, their marriage had been a happy one. Due to them being foils of each other, their marriage and parenting was nicely balanced.
However, after her death, he, so far, seems almost unaffected by her death.
