For

Name: Harry (the Hobo Clown)

Age: Physically - 30.

Gender: Male

Species: Human/Former Cloth Doll

World: Toy Story (consumed by Heartless)

Strengths: Fast and has great reflexes; absurdly high pain tolerance and endurance; naturally good with kids; jumps to help anyone in need and has a very strong sense of empathy for others. A quick thinker who can work well on his own as well as with teammates. He is a natural leader without really realizing it; he kind of just falls into the role when he is needed, but is content to let others lead if they appear to be the better person to have in charge.

Weaknesses: Easily confused or oblivious regarding topics he doesn't understand; doesn't have a full grasp of proper human behavior beyond what he's observed (makes him socially awkward); gets nervous in crowds (unless they are kids); not very strong physically (although he mostly makes up for this with sheer endurance). And his high pain tolerance can work against him as he will sometimes pass out before realizing how badly he is hurt. He also doesn't always recognize human enemies as dangerous, since most of the evil he has encountered were in the shape of Heartless, fire, or trash compactors.

Backstory:
Harry was once a hobo clown doll from the Toy Story world, which has been lost to Heartless. During the final attack, Harry broke the toy rule of never revealing their sentience to humans in order to try and fight off the heartless who were attacking the little girl who owned him, Margie. His desperate but wholehearted attempt to save the person he loved most in the world showed that even a toy can have a strong heart.

When the World collapsed, Harry was transported to Traverse Town and awoke in human form. This came as a very nasty shock for him. Toys aren't supposed to be human! Everything was so much more... HIS size now. And what were these living people doing TALKING to him? And expecting him to RESPOND?! It's almost too much for a simple hobo clown to take in!

But once Harry was found by other Keyblade Warriors and found out what the strange key-shaped bundle of toys he could now summon was for, he knew what he had to do. He had to stop other toys and little children with pure hearts from being taken by the evil shadow creatures. And he had to find Margie. He's positive that she's out there somewhere - for who could possibly have a more pure heart than his sweet little Margie?

It may take a while for Harry to completely adjust to the switch from toy life to human life. But as he's growing into it, he's beginning to discover that he does enjoy not having to hide, and being able to go where he is needed as opposed to lying around and waiting for someone to come to him. But there are always times, when the world(s) seem especially hectic and dangerous and BIG, that Harry still longs for the simple, uncomplicated life of being a toy. He has yet to realize that going back to being a toy at this point would probably be harder than he thinks.

Bio:
Harry refuses to tell anyone where he came from or that he used to be a toy, because that would completely betray the secret that toys are alive. (As far as he knows, ALL toys are alive, not just the ones on his World.) Unfortunately, this makes it pretty nearly impossible for people to understand some of his, ah, unique habits and personality traits.

There's that habit of "talking to himself" when he thinks no one's looking, for one. (How are they supposed to know he's talking to the toys in the room? That doesn't make any sense!) If he has nothing to do, he's prone to wandering around aimlessly, playing with toys, or making crafts out of odds and ends to entertain himself. Sometimes you'll see him with a doll or stuffed animal he found in the garbage tucked into his pocket that later shows up clean and repaired - in fact, he seems to have converted his bedroom into a full-time toy hospital. (Why he doesn't just magically repair them with his Keyblade's special ability is a mystery, but the truth is, he just likes the hands-on approach.) And then there's his intense fear of fire and his habit of showering in his clothes! Clearly, the guy's a little loony.

Harry often comes across as jittery and nervous. He startles easily, especially when someone starts talking to him before he sees them. His most common expression is a wall-eyed look that makes him seem perpetually surprised or sleep-deprived, and his straw-blonde hair is ALWAYS scruffy and messed up, no matter what anyone does to it. And he is almost never without his hat. He has a nervous laugh and has trouble looking people in the face when speaking with them, and when he doesn't want to be found, he's surprisingly good at staying out of sight.

When you manage to get past all of his oddball behavior and gain his trust, though, you'll find that Harry is just about the nicest guy you'll ever meet. He will go to great lengths to cheer someone up, even complete strangers, and if you can distract him enough to make him forget that he's actually a toy in a man's body, he has a great sense of humor and is very sociable and easy-going. Like any good hobo clown (even without the facepaint), he loves slapstick comedy and doing silly antics to get a laugh. It's just that most of the time, he's too busy struggling with the ingrained discomfort of talking and moving about in the presence of HUMANS. Don't get him wrong, it's not that he minds being human; it's just really difficult to alter the entire way you think.

If you ever really want to see Harry light up, all you have to do is introduce him to a couple of kids. Nothing makes Harry happier than entertaining kids, and he's really wonderful at it, coming up with all sorts of games and even using his rather unorthodox Keyblade to entertain. A hug from a little child will have Harry wandering around in beaming bliss for the rest of the day. And despite his gangly and rather ridiculous fighting style (imagine a mix of almost-correct sword forms (from Gale's training) and a clumsy teenager attacking zombies with a baseball bat), when it comes to Heartless, Harry will fight with astonishing drive and determination. He thrives on helping the defenseless, especially kids. And he'll never, EVER leave a friend behind.

Additional Fun Facts:

He isn't very strong physically, but Harry has reflexes and pain tolerance like you wouldn't believe. He doesn't seem to recognize the sensation of pain unless it gets really intense (sometimes not even then). The reason for this is that toys don't feel real pain, so one of the first things Harry unconsciously did upon discovering he was human was to subconsciously cut off his ability to feel extreme pain (because really, what was the point of it?). He still thinks of cuts and scratches as 'rips' and 'tears', and any accompanying pain is either ignored or simply goes unnoticed. If he were distracted enough, he could probably walk on a broken leg for a while. In high-intensity situations, he will sometimes pass out before he realizes his body has been damaged beyond acceptable limits. This lends to his almost berserker-like fighting style.

An addendum: he doesn't count as a full berserker because the instant he senses someone needs him, he'll break out of it. Harry is very good at quickly shifting his focus between multiple equally important things, and nothing is more important than helping a friend in trouble.

If you walk in on him suddenly and surprise him, Harry sometimes forgets himself and reacts by going completely stiff. In cases of extreme startlement, he has been known to go completely limp and fall flat-out on the floor, which tends to freak people out. It doesn't help that he won't even try to explain it. (NOTE: This isn't as common around the other Keyblade Wielders at this point, as Harry has been growing more used to be talked to by them. But he may still do it in cases of being EXTREMELY startled by someone when he thought he was alone.)

Harry really loves animals and has no ill will towards any of them, even dogs, despite that one time he almost got turned into a chew toy.

All of Harry's knowledge of humans comes from the kids who've owned him and what he's learned from the other Keyblade Warriors. This actually has made him quite the gentleman, as all of his kids' parents taught them to be polite and respectful and nice to others. Also, having once been a toy whose sole purpose in life was to help children be happy, he's really good at reading emotions and will go to great lengths to cheer up someone who is sad. He's an amazing listener, too.

Harry's hat is weird. Sometimes it acts like a normal hat, but most of the time it clings to his spiky hair like it's attached to his head. Merlin would theorize (if Merlin knew Harry's secret and thus were able to theorize) that this is because his hat WAS attached to his head when he was a toy - it was literally sewn on and was basically part of him in the truest sense of the word. So it's possible the magic that transformed him into a human got a little confused on this point. In short, Harry's hat stays with him always, and it's hard to knock off by accident.
