## Biographical Information

### Siblings

Pipsqueak

A tall wizard, Craigory up until very recently lived alone in the Gisnep countryside, where he pursued whatever interests and magical experimentation struck his fancy without having to go through anything pesky like *paperwork* or *people* to do so.

## Personality

Craigory follows his curiosity where it takes him, favoring active experimentation and boundary testing. On one hand, this means he's built up a good personal sense of magic responds and works together; on the other hand, he'll throw whatever common sense he has out the window in favor of the Danthew family attitude of "fuck around and find out".

He is not what we in the industry call "talented with people". He's just come out of a long period of just himself for company, and even before that it wasn't a strong suit. Craigory defaults to giving his friends and family a lot of space- don't want to be making assumptions of affection there, ha ha!

## Appearance

A black and white Toon, Craigory is interested in dressing fashionably *and* practically- those boots aren't for show, you know! Reinforced material perfect for saving your toesies from dropped knives and ingredients. The right hand is not all there, and previously wore a particular red glove- Craigory is now outfitted with a prototype holo-hand prosthetic.

## Backstory

Craigory was created in the deep wilderness of Gisnep, where he grew up under the tutelage of Henrick Danthew until being left with his aunt, Jenelope Danthew, in Toontown at age 12. This was an unhappy transition, to say the least.

He eventually joined the Toontown wizard guild in his teens, drawn in by its promise of access to rare components and esoteric knowledge. He thrived here for a time, devouring everything available to him though not endearing himself to the community- too little interest in "following directions", far too much outrage at the idea of a "forbidden section" or the library.

Following *academic disagreements* with the guild at age 20, he ~~fled~~ moved back to his childhood home in the Gisnep wilderness where he spent a productive two years able to follow projects and experiments he was never allowed to under an establishment, as well as have prime access to wild-growing ingredients.

It wasn't all growth and learning- total freedom to peck around comes with costs, and Craigory's recklessness comes around to bite him more than once. Isolation is a familiar look on him but not one particularly optimal.

## Shenanigans

**Terminal Jelocity:** Craigory has a Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Day where he, in no particular order: loses many hit points, unleashes an accidental magical creation upon Gisnep, is menaced by Boomer's puppy-dog eyes, and is rudely left waiting on a doorstep.

**12FPS: Becalmed:** Pipsqueak and Craigory bond over donuts and a map he still can't read.

**12FPS: Tea for Two:** Eddie's demand for a coffee date is cashed in.

**Wizard Crimes:** Encouraged by Pipsqueak & Boomer, Craigory decides he wants to retrieve his arcane focus and burn whatever bridges he had left with local wizards in the process. Exhibits are defaced, structural damage is committed, and Craigory is now officially a man on the lam.

**12FPS: Library Hunt:** Craigory teams up with Hugh Script to track down a library, ANY library that isn't closed, not on a map, or straight up MISSING from the scene. Please, these two wizards *just want to find a library and be nerds!* It is a fraught journey involving wanted posters, losing a child, and being late-fee-shamed by librarians.

**12FPS: Friendly Chat**: Craigory is ambushed by an irate Detective Little Lin Stagehand, who promptly turns terrifying beyond all reason and chases him down. He's got no idea why, and *particularly* no idea why it apparently involves Boomer! He comes out of the encounter intact, but with the weirdest pen-pal he's ever heard of.

**12FPS: Ice To See You:** Craigory and Boomer have a fun winter day. Teaching her how to ice skate, Craigory tells Boomer that Lin has demanded he keep her abreast of Boomer's whereabouts and condition. The day ends when Boomer gets too cold to continue- already having loaned his scarf, Craigory gives over his gloves, revealing a right hand that is... not all there.

**On Sight:** A day at the Post-Animas Advent is nearly derailed entirely when Craigory and and co run into Hugh and March, but *also* Lin. Tensions are eventually salvaged however and the festivities commence as a group, with lots of stalls to check out and inadvisably deep-fried foods to be had. Things eventually come to a head however when the kids accidentally separate from the adults and run into trouble of their own.

**Buccaneer Bay:** Craigory, Pipsqueak, & Boomer skip out on Toontown to follow Pip's directions to Buccaneer Bay. Along the way they meet Meepllow and Lucille and get prompted driven off-path into the Dreamworkers jungle. Many a hazard awaits them- quicksand, poison & carnivorous plants, and wolves to name but a few.

**12FPS: A Helping Hand:** Pipsqueak and Craigory touch base after their trek though the jungle and construct Craigory a new glove.

**Fate's Tangled Strings:** Following a false tip, Craigory and Pip are herded into Toontown and promptly stolen away into another demiplane, along with Hugh, Lin, Decimal, and Gray. Each of them having caught the eye of Ruin, their worst memories are exposed- or, *most* of them have memories explored. Something a little strange seems to be going on with Gray...

**12FPS: Friendly Chatting:** In a twist of events, Craigory shows up at *Lin's* home unannounced and the two have actual, for real civil conversation. Network takes a shine to him, and he is eventually invited up for tea- not coffee.

**12FPS: Show of Hands:** Craigory travels to the town of Razor's Edge looking for a particular Dr. Mirsa- he's listened to Pip's concerns about his hand, and while he's not ready to commit to an entirely *different* solution he *is* curious if a more destructive aspect of the process can be substituted. This doctor specializes in Toon parts after all...

**12FPS: Feelings Bubble:** Hugh and Craigory catch up at the local library and talk over a few things. A study fort is constructed to enable best reading as according to Craigory, but mostly they end up chatting. And then end up being evicted from the library when the librarian catches on to them.

**Tangled Strings 2: Shenanigans Boogaloo:** Craigory, Pip, Lin, Hugh, Decimal, and Gray all end up on another demiplane yet again- but this time they're here to shop, not to suffer! Big Burt's Mini Mall has a shop for anything a toon could conceive of, but it's Ae Risan's High Quality Spells is the store that's caught this party's attention for various reasons. There are reports of spells from this store going haywire, but it quickly becomes clear there's something more going on behind it's gaudy walls...

**Unsteady in Love!:** A story in three parts, Craigory along with Pawsy, Cassie, and Cassel are asked by Rock Steady to get ready for his big date! After a Part One full of shenanigans and a successful date, Rock calls on the party again because his beloved Rosie has gone missing! Will true love prevail?

**12FPS: Secondary Location:** Craigory runs into Lucille at the shoreline, and upon hearing they have something neat to show him promptly jumps into the water with the shark-selkie and makes the journey with them miles offshore to a sight of ocean celebration. It's awe-inspiring, and while Lucille's glad to have been able to share it with him they're not best best pleased with Craigory's easy trust.

**12FPS: A Wizard Effort:** After his first attempt at a birthday cake for his aunt go disastrously, Craigory calls upon the best kitchen-master he knows- Lil Rai Stagehand! It may or may not entirely be a ruse to warn Rai about something a little more serious.

**12FPS: The Good, The Bad, and the Sweet:** Cassie Trebleclef has some questions and worries after the events of Unsteady In Love and reaches out to one of the more morally flexible people she knows. How is it that people can just *do* bad things?

**12FPS: Meet Your Maker:** After the events of Unsteady In Love Craigory launches his own investigation- he's met Belladonna before, after all. He knows who she's affiliated with- and he knows where she must have gotten the body parts to construct her monstrous minions. It's time to visit Dr. Mirsa in Razor's Edge again and find out just how far this goes. Along the way he meets Constance Lane, and both of them get far more answers than either of them bargained for.

**12FPS: Lending A Hand:** On his way back from Razor's Edge Craigory feels Network's business card go *cold.* Sprinting to Halloweentown, he finds a bedraggled but alive Lin just after the events of The Way Things Go sitting upon Macabre Manor's front steps.

**12FPS: Black and White and Red All Over:** Craigory has been trying to find answers on what happened in Rikishi's demiplane for a *while* now, and upon spotting Decimal on a normal day out he sees his chance to *get* some answers.

**Eye of the Storm:** Decimal, Rezze, Lin, and Craigory find that Hugh and March have been *missing* for a week and launch a rescue mission to get them back. Though, that might be a bit more of *problem* with Hugh... luckily it's nothing the party can't fix using extreme violence.

**Terminal Jelocity 2: The Gelatining:** Craigory is finally no longer able to ignore the problem of the giant jello he created as the wizard guild quite literally bust open his door and Politely Demand he fix the problem. Boomer, Pip, Lin, and Fu Lardi are also pulled into the adventure, but *nobody* is expecting what they find...

**12FPS: Tricks and Treats**: Boomer goes trick or treating for the first time with her wonderful, beloved, amazing dad! This... IS her dad, right? He's dressed and acting a little different...

**12FPS: Like Wizard Like Son**: Craigory goes to properly *catch up* with Henrick Danthew, but he doesn't go alone. With Pipsqueak at his shoulder the two of them get to find out what the deadbeat dama has been up to... and why Henrick is even *back,* maybe? Craigory learns an unpleasant surprise about himself and his origins, swearing Pip to secrecy.

**12FPS: Mending a Hand**: Alarmed after the revelations of Like Wizard Like Son and worried about some implications, Craigory reaches out to an artificier, Azure, for help on a new hand. Holo-hand 1.0, activate!

**12FPS: My, Myself, and I:** Wanting to talk to their copy alone, Henrick lies in wait at Craigory's own home, inside his lab. There's questions Craigory held back from asking because Pip was there after all, and answers they wouldn't give.

**Lin, Go To Therapy!** Lin's not been fulfilling her side of a promise with Hugh, so he recruits Decimal and Craigory to convince this monkey to get professional help. Craigory is *also* encouraged to open up about the "family problems" he's been having as of late.

**12FPS: Bust A Move!** Lin's on a new case and she needs a plus one to attend and infiltrate a ball to catch a thief! Who does she know that she trusts to have her back, who is smart, who is peckin' pretty- AH-HA! CRAIGORY!

**12FPS: The Second Nickel:** Henrick travels back to what's left of wizard hut to complete the deal they began with the Thrall ten years ago- a new way of constructing clones, in exchange for their first one. Craigory is handed over to Thrall, but they don't seem entirely pleased with the exchange. The person they receive is indeed Craigory... housed in a clone constructs body. They ultimately let Henrick walk away in Craigory's body, but not without an ominous warning. As for Craigory, he is placed under Geas and taken to Thrall's manor.

**12FPS: Midgame Gambit:** Thrall challenges Craigory to a game of chess. If he wins, he gets an hour to do as he pleases in Thrall's extensive archive. If he loses... well, Thrall's a little vague on the details of that. Better not lose, then. Winning against someone like the Thrall is gonna require misdirection, and it's gonna require some sacrifice.

**12FPS: It's Fu Lardi, not Foolhardy:** Fu's gotten a letter to meet up with his hero to touch base on their research paper and discuss a breakthrough Craigory's had. But, laying eyes on his hero Fu knows all at once... *that's not Craigory Danthew.*

**A New Deal:** Cats out of the bag and Fu, Pipsqueak, and Lin confront the Thrall about the wizard they've been keeping under their thumb the last some weeks. Thrall's not willing to just *let their wizard go,* especially after the irreparable destruction he recently caused, but they ARE willing to cut a deal- bring them Henrick Danthew, *all* of their clones, and Craigory Danthew leaves the manor. It might be a plan easier said than done, but let it not be said the party is determined.

**12FPS: Open Communication:**
