Midas Buchanan

Midas Buchanan is a character played by Jordan Pridgen on Wildcards: Nightlinger's Traveling Carnival of the Extraordinary. Midas made his first appearance on "A Dark Wagon Comes to Town" (1x01).

Appearance
Midas is tall, thin, bony and awkward, not graceful. He tries to keep his hair somewhat together but it always sticks out in every direction. He wears big glasses with tons of lenses, an apron and work clothes, and is always kind of sooty.

Midas always has Christopher with him, a little robot boy.

Personality
Midas' main project is Christopher, but he is always working on something and trying out something new. Midas is a trouble magnet, so things often go wrong for him, but as a tinkerer he is mostly interested in the creative opportunities from problems, like solutions and new information.

Background
Midas wanted to use the engineering skills he learned at Smith & Roberts to create toys. His nemesis is FAO Schwartz, competition in toy design.

He created Christopher based on dreams he had of a young boy.
