Doze

2 Doze
AKA	“BLUE HAT”

Doze is the second member of the Felt.

Concept and creation

Doze's hat is designed after the blue billiard ball numbered 2, and his name phonetically resembles dos, the name for the number in Spanish and several similar languages. It also describes his slow, languid personality.

Biography

Caliborn's session

Doze originated on a planet colored like a blue billiard ball, formed when the Battlefield in Caliborn's session exploded. Caliborn was awarded Doze as his second follower when he destroyed the planet by sending it into the black hole formed by the Battlefield's death.

Intermission - original timeline

Doze was captured by Clubs Deuce and given a sound drubbing with Clubs' Crook of Felony. He was freed by Itchy, and began an incredibly slow escape. Clubs recaptured him, tying him up with a Stretch Armstrong doll and shoving him into his Battledrobe. He was later killed when Clubs Deuce put an explosive in his hat, just as his time powers wore off. The same explosion took out Trace.

Act 6

Spades Slick later reunites Doze and the rest of the leprechauns by pulling their pins from Die's doll, and the Felt recognise Slick as their new leader thanks to his possession of Lord English's cuestaff. Doze and the rest of the Felt follow Crowbar back to Doc Scratch's apartment, where a magic timepiece could be used as an emergency exit. Forced witj the rest of the Felt into Biscuits' oven to fit through the clock, after a long flight to the B2 session Doze is dumped on the Land of Mounds and Xenon. There, he eventually comes into conflict with Jake English; after a long and arduous battle involving multiple knocks into next week and an army of undead consorts, in which Doze is unable deal a single hit, Jake manages to defeat the gang.

Skills and abilities

Doze's ability is to “slow time down for himself”; this allows him to stretch sensations of pain over a long period time, giving him some level of resistance to attack. Outwardly, however, his power mostly just makes him seem incredibly slow, forming a pair with Itchy, who has the power to move with superhuman speed.

Weapons and paraphernalia

Doze uses a double (2) barreled shotgun for long ranged combat, and employs a simple 2x4 piece of lumber in a melee - a weapon he shares with fellow Felt member Clover.^[image?]
