PROFILE

Poppet: The Enigmatic Enforcer

Role: The political voice of a supreme utopian race. Poppet stands as a paragon of principles and loyalty, unforgiving of those who breach the prescribed Laws.

Alignment: A notable member of the Oligarch. He emerges as a rationally fair governing figure, starkly opposing Zipher's irrational and controlling ideologies.

Innovation and Appearance: Poppet introduces viewers to groundbreaking technology capable of extending human life beyond known limits. His mechanical throat, breathing tubes, and ghostly white skin are designed to evoke unease, prompting the audience to delve deeper into the narrative. Questions arise: Is Poppet the antagonist? Does his inhumanity set him apart, or is it a common trait in this world?

Perception and Reality: To the audience, Poppet may appear inhuman and detached, but in truth, he is an unwavering enforcer for the gate's irrational leader, Kin Zipher. His demeanor is not of coldness but of dedication to his role.

Demeanor and Strategy: Poppet's behavior is the epitome of precision and analytical thinking. Every movement, glance, and word is meticulously planned, always two steps ahead.

Authority and Eloquence: Poppet embodies authority and eloquence, with a steadfast commitment to legality. He operates within the strictest confines of the law, showing no flexibility or compromise. His dedication to his duties is absolute, executing tasks with precision and efficiency. However, his actions lack a moral compass, focusing solely on the objectives and directives of his superiors, disregarding ethical considerations or personal principles.

Audience Impact: Poppet's unique and shocking presence captivates the audience. His precision in speech and action, coupled with an amoral stance on legality, presents a worldview alien to the audience but routine in his world.

Character Strength: Poppet's strong words and posture convey a character whose decisions are complex and challenging to understand. His meticulously crafted persona offers viewers an intrusive glimpse into the enigmatic world of “The Gates”.

Negatives: Poppet lacks a moral compass, is inflexible, cold, detached, unforgiving, and ruthless. Physically, he's vulnerable due to his fragile build, which is why he's always accompanied by Ravens for protection. His nasal tubes, which help him breathe, are a critical weakness; any malfunction could be exploited against him, as with all Heaven-born. Another significant weakness is his unwavering adherence to the Law. Poppet will only condemn and punish those who have indisputably broken Heaven's Laws, requiring concrete evidence and proof before taking action. Suspicion or intent alone is not enough for him to act. This rigid adherence to principle can make it difficult for him to navigate certain situations.
