Harley Sawyer (human)

Face and hairstyle: He has kinda dark skin, short, neatly styled dark curly hair (afro texture). His facial expression is usually arrogant, calculating, or slightly condescending, which perfectly emphasizes his mad scientist nature.Clothing: He is dressed in a formal, professional suit (most often dark or classic business) with a white shirt and tie, over which he invariably wears a neat snow-white lab coat, emphasizing his status as the head of special projects at Playtime Co.Main accessory: From Bunnycat sketches and crossovers (for example, in art with the character Lily Lovebraids) Sawyer is often depicted wearing thin-rimmed glasses, which give him an even more austere, intelligent, and sinister look at the same time.

He is completely devoid of empathy. For him, people, including children, are just "raw materials" and consumables for scientific breakthroughs. Sawyer has a colossal god complex. He sincerely believes that his work moves humanity forward, and moral standards are the lot of the weak.Composure and control: He is always calm, calculating and polite. Sawyer manipulates others (including orphans from the Playcare orphanage) with a soft voice and ostentatious concern that hides an icy threat.Arrogance: Both in the canonical audio recordings, he holds himself with absolute superiority over other employees of Playtime Co.

It is known about Sawyer's early years from his personal records. He grew up in an extremely dysfunctional and supposedly abusive family. Harley himself later admitted that no one loved him at home, did not understand him, and he was never surrounded by kindness.Due to his outstanding intelligence, as a teenager he got into the "Young Geniuses Program", which was personally supervised by the founder of Playtime Co. Elliot Ludwig.Relationship with Ludwig: For young Harley, Elliot became the only close person and father figure. Ludwig was the only one who could make the cold boy smile sincerely. Harley admitted that working with him was "all he ever wanted."Exclusion and trauma: However, Ludwig began to be intimidated by Harley's frightening trait — a complete lack of humility and empathy. Sawyer wanted to pursue science for the sake of progress and control, despising morality. Trying to instill humanity in the boy, Ludwig failed and was forced to exclude Harley from the program.Sawyer considered it a cruel betrayal. He came to hate Ludwig, considering him "weak," "shallow," and "stabbed in the back." From that moment on, Harley decided to prove his case to the whole world.

Saving the company: The Big Bodies InitiativeBy the early 90s, Playtime Co. she was on the verge of bankruptcy. Losses, espionage, lawsuits, and the maintenance of the giant Playcare shelter suffocated the company.Then Sawyer put forward his "brilliant" idea: The Bigger Bodies Initiative. He suggested replacing live workers with giant, docile live toys. They don't have to pay salaries, they won't sue or give away secrets.Sawyer's first major success was Boxy Boo, the first successful experiment to transform human consciousness into a toy. To hide his tracks, Sawyer made Boxy the "night watchman" of the factory, feeding him several curious employees (for example, Rowan Stoll). Following this, Sawyer put the production of monsters on the assembly line, using orphans from the Ludwig orphanage (this is how Huggy Wuggy, Mommy Long Legs and CatNap appeared).

Return to the factory and the first setbacks (1990)Sawyer grew up, studied brilliantly as a neurosurgeon, and received a certificate from the American Board of Neurological Surgery (ABNS). On January 15, 1990, he was hired by the Director of Security at Playtime Co. Leith Pierre. Harley heads the secret Department of special projects, having received the nickname "Doctor" among colleagues.His first tasks were to try to revive tissues and reactivate the brain. The first experiments (Experiments 1015 and 1026) failed — the subjects died within an hour, demonstrating only short-term consciousness.
