Description
Baxter was once a promising student in the field of Steam Powered Biochemistry (S.P.B). That was, until his tutor, one Dr. Hildaguard Metzger decided that Baxtor would make an excellent test subject for her vile experiments.

Baxter soon became completely insane and homicidal and was committed to Victorian London's notorious Bedlam Mental Asylum. He spent many years slowly being consumed by his own madness and anger towards Metzger. Baxter may have completely lost all humanity if it wasn't for one of the young nurses, Sister Eleanora, at the asylum who cared for him. She seemed to be the only one to calm his disturbed mind. One night Baxter awakes to find his cell door open and the wardens drugged. Unsure who has enabled his escape he flees with one person on his mind - Dr. Hildaguard Metzger!

Thanks to for this rather nifty texture fav.me/d3467sx and for the amazing background fav.me/d4577xl

Thank you. He's definitely the more weirder of the characters in the series

I'm trying to do a similar series with these grotesque and bloody creatures and while I like the design I'm having trouble writing their info. Any tips?

Hmmmm I'll do my best but I'm certainly no writer
For me personally it's mostly Internet  research 
So this series albeit steampunk is still victorian England, so I'll research stories, crimes all that stuff from the time period and I'll try and connect to whatever character it fits or I'll make references to Victorian novels etc

I can definitely say that Silent Hill was a huge inspiration for him as well as Renfield from Dracula

That's awsome of you to say so he was actually part inspired by Renfield from Dracula, Pyramid Head from silent hill and the cage head guy from the film 13 Ghosts, so your comment is rather apt

This is as lovely as it is morbid.

MadAndPerplexed In reply to DominicTheRaccoon [2016-08-09 12:04:47 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much hes defiantly meant to be a tragic character and not a straight forward monster.
I'll be honest haven't quite decided on the type of experimentation that was done to him yet but the professor that did experiment on him deals with toxins, mutation and re-animating the dead so I can't imagine it was pleasent

You're welcome! Reminds me of a character in Danganronpa who was subjected to vile experiments by school staff.

Pretty wicked, but the idea of him slapping at me with those over long sleeves does seem a touch silly.

MadAndPerplexed In reply to AndronicusVII [2016-08-04 23:11:01 +0000 UTC]

Ah but you see when he was mysteriously set free his mechanical restraints were set on timers which periodically give him much more freedom. Also he makes great use of the rest of his body as well as those chains and seriously dangerous box on his head

The general idea was him to be stance style fighting chatacter depending on the level his restraints are at

MadAndPerplexed In reply to Adam-Walker [2016-08-05 10:25:32 +0000 UTC]

Ah I see what what you mean. Yes Bedford certainly would have been a terrible place to be.
I mostly chose Bedlam because it's probably the more famous of the two and simply due to its location.

Adam-Walker In reply to MadAndPerplexed [2016-08-05 10:34:49 +0000 UTC]

Bedford Hospital also doesn't stand anymore I don't think.

Why did you choose Bedlam simply because of its location? Is it just because it's in London?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MadAndPerplexed In reply to Adam-Walker [2016-08-05 11:02:16 +0000 UTC]

Yeah the setting for my story is  mostly in the London area. Im aware that Bedlam itself has moved to various locations in its lifetime.  As far as I'm aware it was England's first mental institution

Adam-Walker In reply to MadAndPerplexed [2016-08-05 15:22:58 +0000 UTC]

I have at least two or three stories set in England but none of them are set in London.

MadAndPerplexed In reply to Adam-Walker [2016-08-09 12:23:05 +0000 UTC]

There will certainly be many locations through out the story and chatacters from around globe from Wales to Japan. With the Jack the Riper case being quite heavily featured in a few of the characters stories, London had to be the main setting
