Editing Mannequin (section)

==Personality==
Mannequin appears exceedingly intelligent and oddly playful; he purposefully brushes up against [[Skitter]]'s insects several times to show her that he can easily get around the pseudo-clairvoyance she gets through her bugs, and later, he toys with [[Colin Wallis|Armsmaster]] when he goes to 'recruit' him, intentionally injuring him enough to make a point.

It should be noted that "like other serial killers, Mannequin favored certain types of people as victims. His prey of choice included [[Rogues]], those individuals seeking to make a profit from their abilities, especially those looking to better the world… and tinkers."<ref name="I11d">Her voice was quiet behind him.  As much as anything, it helped keep him calm.  “Mannequin.  Original name Alan Gramme.  Tinker, originally went by the name Sphere.  Specialty is in [[Wikipedia:Biomes|biomes]], [[Wikipedia:Terraforming|terraforming]] and [[Wikipedia:Ecosystems|ecosystems]]… or it was. [...] He became newsworthy when he took on a project to build self sustaining biospheres on the moon.  He had ideas on solving world hunger, and building aquatic cities near cities plagued by overcrowding.  And he was putting it all into effect.  Until [[The Simurgh]] [...] His wife and children were killed in the attack, years of work ruined.  Everything fell apart.  He went mad.  He cut himself off from the rest of the world.  Literally sealed himself away.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/06/19 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 11d]]</ref>

He had something of a death wish, driving him to target powerful opponents.<ref>Ridtom:<br/>True, it's just that he has a habit of underestimating his opponents.<br/><br/>Wildbow:<br/>More that he has a deathwish, deep down inside. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/15411197 Comment by Wildbow on Spacebattles]</ref>

Although he was unable to speak, Mannequin had a variety of methods for communicating: for example, spell out words or use sign language to get his meaning across.<ref name="13.4">“Doing it differently?  This isn’t that complicated,” Burnscar said.<br/><br/>“How’s it going to look if you do it wrong?  I imagine Mannequin’s going to get punished for fucking up,” Grue said, “But he at least tried.  If you screw up here, right at the beginning, you really think your team is going to be impressed?  No, they’re going to be ''embarrassed''.  And I bet they’ll take it out on the person who embarrassed them.”<br/><br/>Mannequin tapped on Burnscar’s shoulder.  She turned, and he parted his mouth slightly before drawing an ‘x’ over it with one finger.<br/><br/>“Mannequin says you’re lying.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/08/07/snare-13-4/ Excerpt] from [[Snare 13.4]]</ref><ref name="14.5 e4">Mannequin made a gesture at Crawler, fingertips of two hands all touching, pressed to his ‘mouth’, then he pulled his hands away, splaying his fingers. Crawler cocked his head and Mannequin pointed at the frozen heroes. I heard Crawler rumble with guttural laughter. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/09/18/prey-14-5/ Excerpt] from [[Prey 14.5]]</ref>
