Alias: Splinter
Frank Lee ©, alias ‘Splinter’ is of Australian / Asian Decent. He’s Firsty’s first true friend.
He was born inexplicably, 9 minutes past 9pm on the 9th of the 9th 2009.
Splinter is a broken and splintered chopstick. He was befriended by Firsty ©, because he felt sorry for his inconvenient situation. Splinter’s disability was the result of a wok climbing accident. It occurred in a challenge against Firsty © to race to the top of the wok. You’d never guess who won! Splinter’s on a never ending quest to find his missing pieces, so he can once again become a complete chopstick. His specialty was once at meal times, helping others to achieve their goal.
He is wise, yet lacks street smarts. He can be naïve. He’s always serious, yet amusing. There is no messing with Splinter. Whether you like it or not, he’ll always be around, just so that he can speak his mind. He’ll tell you so! As a matter of fact, Splinter is great at being frank.
You will either love him or hate him.
Magnabob © fears nothing.
His attitude is carefree and ever so cool.
He has special powers of magnetism.
Generally, he attracts valuable items easily, but can be confused and disorientated, attracting unwanted, unnecessary junk, as well as Gold and Silver.
He slips and slides happily along on banana skins, this being his super quick mode of transport when on any metallic surface.
He moves by feel rather than by sight. He can only open his eyes fully in an emergency.
On the whole he is in control.
Wiroboy © can be anything.
His flexible wire construction allows him to bend into almost any shape imaginable.
Or so he thinks!
Wiroboy © cannot communicate by voice, but can quickly transform into words, shapes, symbols or components.
He has the ability to transform into words from almost any language.
Trusting, caring and responsible, Wiroboy © is available to help out in tough situations.
He truly can bend to meet any need!
Wiroboy © was last seen as a marshmallow toaster.
We would all love to be as useful as Wiroboy ©
Tipsy © arrived in Central London from Africa around 1702, at the height of the fashionable must have gentleman’s accessory era. Propped in a corner, she was conceptualised and sketched using a grey lead pencil on a cold winter’s evening of August 2012. You see, Tipsy is much more than a carefully hand selected piece of rattan. She’s been skilfully hand crafted into an original walking cane shape.
Her noticeably weathered finish signifies many generations of loyal, unwavering support.
She has a kind, generous heart and caring nature. It is fair to say that our lives are made easier and safer by her selfless actions and “wise” advice.
Her recognition and adaptation possibilities as a genuine character, within the context of this story, was realised in that very same corrugated iron clad shed that gave birth to “Firsty” and many of his original friends.
But, at the end of the day, she’s just an old stick!
Dillon © began his life as the people’s Number one choice of paint applicators, however, when on route to his first major project, he was suddenly ejected from the back of a Ford utility. While lying helpless in the middle of the bitumen road he was unintentionally run over by a fully loaded armoured vehicle, reversing out from a Loading Zone park space.
He is now permanently deformed.
Arriving home, after a long hospital recovery, he was unceremoniously placed in a large plastic container, alongside his future cohorts on the very top shelf, (To be repaired one day!) where he covertly overlooks the unusual and interesting activities below.
Dillon is resentful, angry and bitter! He will attempt to deploy almost any questionable trick to prevent Firsty from winning or being first.
Thumb Mummy © is a bandaged injured thumb, with a face damaged by exposure to unrelenting constant toiling and soiling.
His key features were accentuated by outlining the unusual shades that mysteriously appeared, using a fine black marker.
You will probably deny the superstition, that a warning sign appears whenever there is the high probability of a personal injury to somebody nearby. But indeed, you’ll certainly thank Thumb Mummy for his impromptu although uninvited appearance.
Thumb mummy is like an annoying younger sibling.
Once again, that infamous iron clad shed attracted yet another interesting character, literally by accident.
You had better watch out, because when he appears, someone’s about to get hurt.
Or are they?
