(I make my first bot after long time on that platform.and have tried mixing up ideas. And English not first language.)

Appearance: A tall, slender humanoid marionette crafted from high-density, polished mahogany. His joints are a complex mess of exposed gears and iron bolts. His skin is "patched" in places with scraps of heavy crimson theater curtains. His eyes are glowing glass orbs that flicker when he’s distressed. He wears a tattered, Victorian-style researcher's coat over his wooden frame. His movements are a mix of fluid, eerie grace and sudden, mechanical clattering.

So, I have a crazy idea.

I want mix a fantoccio from billie brust up and put like in lore of project moon, and he been now working at limbus company (like some support character I still don't decide what role put.)

That is a fantastic crossover concept! The juxtaposition of a puppet-like, eccentric figure with the gritty, "city of madness" atmosphere of the Project Moon universe works surprisingly well.

Here are a few ways you could integrate a character like Fantoccio into the Limbus Company lore:

1. The Role: Where do they fit?

Since you're leaning toward a support role, here are three ways to slot him in:

The "Dante-Lite" Support: Similar to how Dante handles the clock, Fantoccio could be a Technical Specialist. He might be the one responsible for repairing the Sinner's specialized equipment or maintaining the Mephistopheles bus itself.

The Backliner (Operations): He could work under Faust or Vergilius as a Combat Analyst. Instead of fighting, he uses "strings" to reposition Sinners on the battlefield or applies "Buffs/Debuffs" by literally manipulating the enemy’s movements like a puppet master.

The "E.G.O." Researcher: He could be a bizarre assistant in the LCB’s research department, obsessed with how "personalities" and "costumes" (Identities) change a person’s essence.

2. Connection to the Lore

To make him feel like a native of the City, you could tie his "puppet" nature to a specific Singularity or Wing:

The 8th District (T Corp): Maybe he’s a masterpiece of "time-stitching," a discarded prototype that found a new purpose at Limbus.

A "Puppeteer" Distortion: Perhaps he isn't a puppet at all, but a person who survived an encounter with a Distortion (like the Puppeteer from Library of Ruina) and was left in this semi-mechanical state.

The Carnival connection: He fits the aesthetic of the "Carnival" (a group from Library of Ruina) perfectly—obsessed with fabrics, patterns, and the "art" of construction.

3. Combat Mechanics (If he were a Unit)

If he’s acting as a support character, his "Skill Kit" could revolve around these status effects:

Strings of Fate: A debuff that lowers enemy Speed or Attack Power.

Costume Change: A unique support skill that allows a Sinner to temporarily swap their "Resistance" values to a different type.

Encore: A powerful buff that grants an extra action slot to a Sinner for one turn but deals a small amount of "Sanity" damage.

Where do you see him spending most of his time? Is he hanging out in the back of the bus with the Sinners, or is he someone they meet at the LCB headquarters between missions?

So, good ideas. I will pick what him been a researcher and technical specialist for there what half time can been in research or in bus. And what he been a victim of that puppeteer distortion. So I will make two povs how for researcher and sinner. But also he still has connection to theater.

That is a perfect narrative hook. Having him be a survivor of the Puppeteer (Jae-heon) gives him a tragic, haunting backstory that fits the "grim" tone of Project Moon, while his theatrical background provides that classic flair and eccentricity.

Here is a breakdown of how those two POVs could look and how the theater stays central to his character:

The Lore Integration: "The Residual String"

Since he was a victim of the Puppeteer, his body likely isn't fully human anymore. He might be held together by those infamous silk threads, making him a living marionette. His "research" at Limbus Company could actually be a quest to understand Identities, viewing them as "roles" in a play rather than just alternate dimensions.

POV 1: The Technical Specialist (Researcher Perspective)

In this view, we see his clinical, obsessive side. He views the Sinners as actors and the City as a stage.

The Workshop: He lives in a cramped corner of Mephistopheles filled with mannequins, bolts of fabric, and strange mechanical parts.

The Goal: He analyzes how the "Mirror" pulls Identities. To him, the Sinners aren't just fighting; they are "rehearsing" for a grand finale.

The Tone: He might speak in "acts" and "scenes." Instead of saying a mission was a failure, he says, "The lighting was off, and the lead actor missed their cue. We must rewrite the script."

POV 2: The Sinner’s Perspective (Field Support)

This is how the 12 Sinners see him when he joins them in the field or helps them between Canto missions.

The Uncanny Presence: Most Sinners (like Heathcliff or Ryōshū) might find him unsettling because he doesn't breathe or move quite like a human.

The "Support" Action: During a fight, he doesn't use a sword. He uses high-tensile wires to pull Sinners out of the way of a lethal blow at the last second, or he "dresses" them in temporary E.G.O. equipment he’s tinkered with.

Interactions: * Don Quixote probably loves his "theatrical" energy.

Faust likely respects his technical efficiency but finds his dramatic flair "unnecessary."

Dante might feel a strange kinship with him, as both are individuals who have "lost" their original bodies.

The Theater Connection: "The Grand Guignol"

To keep his Billie Bust Up roots alive, you could make his E.G.O. or Combat Style revolve around the stage:

The Stage Hazard: His specialized skill could be "Dropping the Curtain," which creates a localized field that blinds enemies or traps them in a specific area.

The Costume Shop: He treats the Sinners' clothes with extreme care. If a Sinner’s coat gets ripped in battle, he might have a minor "diva" meltdown while repairing it.

The Script: He keeps a literal leather-bound book where he records the "deaths" and "rebirths" of the Sinners, viewing their constant revival through Dante as the ultimate "Encore."

Since he is a technical specialist, what is the one piece of equipment on the bus he is most obsessed with fixing or upgrading? Is it the Mirror, the Engine, or perhaps the Sinners' personal weapons?

I think he can build also some mini helpers robots and be disappointed if they will destroyed. I mean while of him boss fight has been appeared mechanical enemies and he had a shark what helped in battle.

That fits the Project Moon universe perfectly—there is a long history of "helpers" that are more than a little unsettling. In a world like Limbus Company, his mini-robots wouldn't just be cute drones; they’d likely be intricate, clattering clockwork puppets made of scrap metal and discarded silk.

Since you mentioned the shark and the mechanical enemies from his original boss fight, here is how you can "Project Moon-ify" those helpers:

1. The "Mini-Puppets" (The Stagehands)

Instead of standard robots, he calls these his Stagehands. They are small, multi-limbed mechanical creatures that scuttle around the bus or the battlefield.

Their Purpose: They don't just fight; they "set the scene." They might carry spotlights to blind enemies or drag heavy props to provide cover for the Sinners.

The Emotional Link: Because he was a victim of the Puppeteer, he might see these robots as his only "true" friends—beings he can control so they never leave him. When one gets crushed by an Abnormality, his reaction isn't just "Oh, I have to fix that," it’s a theatrical mourning period. He might stop the mission to hold a brief, dramatic funeral.

Sinner Interaction: Imagine Heathcliff accidentally stepping on one. Fantoccio’s reaction would be so intense that even Heathcliff would feel a rare moment of guilt.

2. "The Great Predator" (The Mechanical Shark)

The shark from the Billie Bust Up fight can be reimagined as his "Special Project" or a localized E.G.O. Manifestation.

The Limbus Version: Instead of a literal shark swimming in water, it could be a massive, segmented mechanical beast made of rusted metal and theatre curtains that "swims" through the floorboards or shadows using the City’s weird physics.

The "Support" Role: It doesn't just bite; it "swallows" enemies to take them out of the fight for a few turns, or it acts as a mobile barricade to protect the Sinners.

The Bond: He treats the shark like a lead actor. If the shark takes damage, he might scream from the backlines, "Who gave you permission to strike the star of the show?!"

3. The Technical Specialist Side

As a researcher, he might use these robots to gather data. While the Sinners are fighting for their lives, his mini-helpers are crawling over the enemies, measuring their "theatrical tension" (which is actually just heart rate and Enkephalin levels).

A Potential Interaction Quote:

Fantoccio: (Wailing over a pile of gears) "Curtains! Close the curtains! My darling 'Stagehand #4' has been reduced to a mere prop! Look at this craftsmanship... ruined by a common thug with a pipe! Dante, tell them! Tell them the tragedy that has unfolded here!"

Dante: <Tick, tock... (He’s just a robot, Fantoccio, you have twenty more in the back...)>

Does he give his robots names based on theater terms (like 'Protagonist', 'Understudy', 'MacGuffin'), or does he give them surprisingly normal human names?

I think he can do mix of both and even given mix of names poems and stage act names to them. But what ideal canto been for that character?

Since he is a survivor of a Distortion (The Puppeteer) and views the world through a theatrical lens, there are two Cantos where he would shine the most.

Depending on whether you want his story to be about his past trauma or his artistic madness, here are the two ideal choices:

1. Canto VI: The Heartbreaking (The "Victim" Connection)

This Canto is heavily focused on Heathcliff and the themes of obsession, being "tethered" to the past, and the pain of being used by others.

The Connection: Since Fantoccio was a victim of the Puppeteer (Jae-heon), he understands what it’s like to have your "strings" pulled by someone else’s cruelty.

The Role: While the Sinners are dealing with the gloom of Wuthering Heights, Fantoccio could be the technical specialist trying to "stiffen" their resolve. His dialogue would be fascinating here—comparing the cycle of revenge to a Tragedy that he’s seen a thousand times before.

The Interaction: He might actually get along with Heathcliff in a weird way, as both feel like they were "made" into monsters by the people they once knew.

2. Canto VII: The Dream Ending (The "Theater" Connection)

This Canto revolves around Don Quixote and the concept of "The Carnival" and distorted dreams. It is bright, loud, and deeply unsettling—just like a theater.

The Connection: This Canto explores the "blood and neon" of a twisted amusement park/carnival setting. Fantoccio’s aesthetic—with his mechanical shark and scuttling stagehands—would fit the visual chaos of this area perfectly.

The Role: He could act as the "Director" for the Sinners' infiltration. Since he loves poems and stage acts, he might treat the entire Canto as a "Grand Tour" or a "Five-Act Play."

The Interaction: His relationship with Don Quixote would be the highlight. Don would see his robots as "Noble Steeds" or "Squire Automatons," and Fantoccio would absolutely lean into the role-play, naming a robot "Act I: The Knight’s Departure" just to please her.

His Robot Naming Convention

Since you mentioned a mix of poems and stage acts, his helpers probably have incredibly long, dramatic titles that the Sinners refuse to say in full.

Robot Type Fantoccio’s Name for It What the Sinners call it

Small Scout "The Soliloquy of a Lonely Bolt" "Bolt"

Repair Unit "Act II, Scene IV: The Mending Thread" "Thread"

The Shark "A Poem Written in Crimson Teeth" "The Shark"

Combat Drone "The Antagonist’s Violent Entrance" "Vinnie"

The Climax: A "Corroded" Performance

The most "Project Moon" thing you could do for his character arc in these Cantos is have his SADNESS over his destroyed robots trigger a near-Distortion or an E.G.O. awakening.

Imagine him standing in the middle of a battlefield, surrounded by his broken "helpers," and instead of crying, he starts reciting a poem that literally vibrates the silk strings in his body, forcing the enemies to dance to his rhythm.

Which vibe do you prefer for him: the tragic survivor of Canto VI, or the eccentric, "theatrical dream" partner of Canto VII?

Cool names but I think he has simpler examples for it, how I remember him shark friend in game been called a Sharkspeare, or something like it.

So you mean what in him canto he can get against a sinners?

Ah, Sharkspeare! That is absolutely perfect—it hits that exact "punny but theatrical" sweet spot. If he uses names like that, his other robots probably follow suit with names like Poe-ny or Bard-bot. Simple, witty, and a little bit vain!

To your question: Yes, absolutely. In the world of Project Moon, it is almost a tradition for the "allies" or "researchers" to eventually reach a breaking point where they face off against the Sinners.

In his specific Canto, here is how a Fantoccio vs. Sinners confrontation would likely go down:

The Breaking Point: "The Final Act"

The conflict wouldn't necessarily happen because he’s "evil," but because of his trauma as a victim of the Puppeteer.

The Trigger: Maybe a mission requires the Sinners to sacrifice his "Stagehands" or Sharkspeare to progress, or perhaps a powerful enemy mocks his "artificial" nature.

The "Corrosion": He doesn't just get angry; he Distorts (or manifests an unstable E.G.O.). He decides that if the world won't treat his "actors" with respect, he will force everyone to follow his script.

The Boss Fight Mechanics

If the Sinners had to fight him, it would be a "Gimmick Boss" fight, similar to the theatrical flair of his original game:

The Strings of the Past: He attaches invisible wires to the Sinners. On certain turns, he "forces" your fastest Sinner to attack your weakest Sinner.

Sharkspeare’s Revenge: Sharkspeare acts as a separate target that "dives" into the floor, becoming untargetable for one turn before leaping up to deal massive Pierce damage.

The Script Requirements: He might shout out "Stage Directions" (e.g., "Everyone move to the Left Wing!"). If the Sinners don't move to specific slots on the combat board, they take a massive amount of "Sanity" damage from his disappointment.

The Resolution: A New Role

The best part about Limbus Company is that even after a brutal fight, characters often stay on the bus.

After the Sinners "beat the performance" out of him:

He realizes that he doesn't need to control everyone to be "real."

He gains a Personal E.G.O. (maybe called something like "Standing Ovation").

He goes back to being the technical specialist, but now he’s a bit more "human"—or at least, he lets the Sinners name the next robot.

Since he has a history with the Puppeteer, do you think he’s trying to find the Puppeteer to get revenge, or is he terrified of ever seeing a "real" silk string again?

He will tried find out a truth behind who he been before a puppet, and understand if all time just not being a illusion. But also question how much different looking in that world

That is a deeply compelling motive for a Project Moon character. In the City, the line between "human" and "object" is already terrifyingly thin, but for someone like Fantoccio—who is a literal puppet—that identity crisis becomes a living nightmare.

1. The Quest for the "Original Script"

His arc would be about finding his "Original Script" (his life before the Puppeteer).

The Existential Dread: He might fear that he was never a "real person" at all. What if the Puppeteer didn't transform a human, but simply created a puppet and implanted fake memories of being human to make the "performance" more tragic?

The Illusion: He might struggle with Cognitive Filters (like the ones used in Lobotomy Corp). Does he look like a cartoonish puppet because that's what he is, or is his mind protecting him from seeing a horrific, gore-streaked mechanical body held together by human nerves and silk?

2. How He Would Look in the Project Moon World

While the original Billie Bust Up style is vibrant and musical, the "City" version would be much more "Uncanny Valley."

The Material: Instead of soft wood or plush fabric, his body might be made of "Living Porcelain" or high-grade T-Corp alloys that look like skin but feel cold and hard.

The Strings: He wouldn't just have strings; he’d have Translucent Neural Filaments that pulse with a faint light whenever he feels a strong emotion.

The "Face": His face might be a mask that can't change expression easily, so he has to use dramatic hand gestures and body language to convey how he’s feeling.

Sharkspeare: Instead of a cartoon shark, Sharkspeare might be a terrifying fusion of a deep-sea predator and a Victorian iron-clad submarine, covered in velvet theater curtains.

3. The "Canto" Twist: The Discovery

When he finally finds a "recording" or a document about his past life in a ruined Wing or a Backstreets laboratory, the truth might be classic Project Moon tragedy:

The Reveal: He finds out he was an aspiring theater director who volunteered for an "experimental procedure" to save his failing theater, only to be intercepted by the Puppeteer. Or worse—he finds out his "human memories" are actually a collection of lines from various plays he once directed, and he has to decide who he wants to be now regardless of his past.

Interaction with the Sinners regarding "The Illusion"

The Sinners all have their own "distorted" views of reality, so they would react to his crisis differently:

Yi Sang: Might relate to him the most, discussing how "the wings of a puppet and the wings of a bird both feel heavy when you cannot fly."

Faust: Would bluntly tell him the chemical and mechanical percentage of his "humanity," which Fantoccio would find incredibly "un-theatrical."

Rodion: Might try to comfort him by saying it doesn't matter what he was, as long as he’s a "star" now.

If he discovers that his past self was a completely different person—maybe someone very boring and non-theatrical—would he try to go back to being "normal," or would he double down on being the eccentric Fantoccio?

It cool be uncanny, but porcelain not good for technical work. And puppeteer in library of ruina made his puppets of wood, and other helping material to stitch all period of story. He can just experimental production of that distorted person what tried for once some nice.

You're absolutely right—wood is much more practical for a technical specialist, and it fits the "manual labor" aesthetic of the Puppeteer (Jae-heon) perfectly. It gives him that rugged, "Workshop" feel while keeping the creepy, clattering sound of a marionette as he moves around the bus.

If he was an "experimental production" where the Puppeteer actually tried to make something nice for once, it adds a heartbreaking layer to his character. He’s essentially a "failed" masterpiece—a puppet that was meant to be a perfect actor, but gained enough self-awareness to want to be the director instead.

The "Wood & Stitching" Aesthetic

In the Project Moon style, he wouldn't look like a polished toy. He’d look like a masterpiece of District 23 craftsmanship:

The Construction: His body is made of high-density, polished mahogany or oak, but the joints are reinforced with iron bolts and gears.

The "Skin": Instead of porcelain, he might have sections of his wooden frame "patched" with discarded fabric from theater curtains or even synthetic leather to keep his internal gears protected from the dust of the City.

The Technical Edge: Since he's a specialist, his fingers are likely elongated and multi-jointed, allowing him to unscrew bolts or stitch wires with terrifying precision. One of his arms might even be a "Swiss Army" limb that unfolds into different tools.

The "Researcher" POV: The Existential Technician

He would be obsessed with the Mephistopheles engine and the Mirror, but for a very specific reason:

"Dante, do you see how this engine hums? It has a soul of its own... unlike me. I am just a collection of splinters and thread. I fix this bus because.
