[The majority of this is copy-pasted from one of my comments on one of my journals. ._.]

This is Timekeeper.

Unlike most interpretations of the time-keeper-father-time-guy-character, he gets to do paperwork. Lots and lots of paperwork. He files and records every event at every point in time at every place in the universe in what I would call his "office in the sky." ..Sortanotreally. It's more like the coolest place you've ever seen but at the same time it's sooooo terribly boring and stuffy. The window in it isn't even real, but it can view any place, anywhere, anytime. Purty handy unless someone wants to play a prank on him I'm not going in-depth with that comment.

One minute Earth-time is roughly three hours Timekeeper-office-time, but even that slow isn't enough time for him. I mean, he does have to record every event ever.

LUCKILY, he was created by and works for the "universal forces," which are basically the presidents of the universe.. or something, and one of the benefits of being a "universal being" is that he gets to ignore all of our "laws of physics" and "laws of nature" and what-have-you run-on sentence. This means that he gets as many arms as he needs, as many legs, as many eyes, whatever he needs to get the job done.

STILL, it's hard for him to manage all of that and so he's super stressed and angry and fhsfdhsdfh-like all the time. If I had twelve arms, I'd never know what to do with them all and neither does he, for the most part.

The obnoxious hat-thing is what I call an "enchanted clock-cover" because it does just that - it covers his windmill-clock-head-thing (which I'm going to redesign). The "universal beings" gave it to him and because they wanted to be nice, they made it semi-floppy so that it wouldn't look really dumb. They apparently didn't notice that it looks really dumb, regardless. Timekeeper modified it into a hat so that it didn't look like a beefeater hat.

The clock goes out of time by a fraction of a millisecond every ten thousand years, and that's the only time Timekeeper gets a break, and that break is for about half-an-hour his time. He hates to take this break, because he freaks the hell out that he'll be so behind that he'll never get caught up, so he sometimes rushes the clock-fixing. Once, he broke the clock and effectively killed himself until someone noticed he wasn't doing anything and found him lying on the floor with his head.. open and sent someone to fix him.

He's a super-workaholic, but he's like that because he's forced to be that way. The stress has probably made him like that permanently.




I have a very rough plot for a potential comic arc with him and YAY I love him he's so fun. xD

Also: PERSPECTIVE FAIL.
