Description

UPDATE:
- I re-drew the bastard's face again, cba doing the rest

~Antagonist~

BASIC INFORMATION

Full name: The Ringmaster

Nicknames: Sir / Ringmaster / Goofy arse-face

Gender: Male

Species: Incubus

Age: Older than he looks (phsyically in his thirties)

Birthday: 8th October 1767...?

Sexuality: Pan/Polyamerous

Currently lives: The Circus (A pocket dimension located between the 72nd & 73rd dimension)

Languages spoken: Most bipedal languages, but he cannot talk to those that communicate with sounds and body movements rather than fundamental sentences – animals, let’s say. These species require emotive language to communicate, and he’s terrible with compassion and 'bonding' and such.

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Height: 6’ 2”

Weight: 57kg (around 70kg outside the circus dimension)

Tattoos/Markings, etc: He has super sharp teeth he keeps flat with magic. See his eyes in the picture. He stays in his humanoid form because it's friendlier than his natural form, and people prefer it.

Preferred style of clothing: Fancy clothes and lots of layers/collars. He likes wearing white because it makes him stand out from The Circus. On earth he wears long coats, hoodies, etc. See my Art Folder.

Frequently worn jewellery/accessories: He has red gloves, which are like a weird satin-silk-leather made from some unknown material. He never takes them off – even when wearing other gloves he wears the red ones underneath. It’s an obsessive thing.



PERSONALITY

Personality: Goofy, narcissistic, incredibly changeable, vicious, and super childish. He can be serious when he wants. He has two acts he 'puts on', which can be summarised as:
- Goofy, obsessive, carefree showman/performer.
- Bitter, obsessive, childish, sickly-sweet serial killer.

He loves being in the spotlight and he loves being loved - admiration and love gives him power, power runs his circus, the circus earns him more love -  so on so forth.


Likes: Circuses, swing, affection, Creature, collecting things, blood, visually incredible performers, ‘playing doctor’, singing, whistling, pranks, having overwhelming control over anything and everything, and being a jerk.

Dislikes: Being incorrect, dreams/nightmares, dream-eating species, being denied affection, mathematics, religious cults, being ignored, going two months+ without food, and not getting his way.

Fears/phobias:
- Flying in aeroplanes and other flying vehicles – not being in control of his own flight.
- Religious cults.
- ahahahah

Favourite colour: Red/Black/Pink!

Hobbies: Collecting species to build upon his collection of “Every ‘thing’ in the universe ever, yeah that’s right buddy- even the ugly ones”. He likes experimenting on lesser species with Sprocket to see what he can make. He plays the piano a lot, sometimes with two hands, sometimes with many. He also enjoys going into the Big Top and hosting/hijacking performances with extra death/destruction, putting on wipe-out-like gameshows in the tents, and generallybeing a destructive child in his violent playground.

Talents: Piano, slight-of-hand, mastering magic quickly, incubus magic (puppeteering/possession/hypnotism), performing, amazing impressions/impersonations, singing and dancing.
Skills:
- Natural Incubus Magic: (Can use ethereal strings to move and control people’s bodies like puppets on strings. After forming connections with people over long periods of time he can also completely possess them.)
- Controlling anything he created within his dimension, allowing him to create things from thin-air and manipulate pretty much anything there (air space, anything in it, etc), thusly allowing him to have most of his powers.
- Polymorphing (changing his form into anything he pleases.
- Detailed and intricate magic tricks (ranging from simple ‘human’ magic to sawing people in half with a click of his finger and sewing them together again).
- Eating almost any substance (he can bite through metal – useful when having ‘lunch’ since he tends to eat visitors and performers).
- He’s like a big old’ cartoon character brought into the real world.
- When Creature first went to The Circus, The Ringmaster demonstrated the ability to manipulate The Circus’ space/matter, fabricate objects, create protective barriers of energy, and polymorph/stretch himself like putty.

Describe the character's house/home: COME BACK WHEN I’VE MADE THE CIRCUS’ BIO/JOURNAL. FOR NOW:
- It’s an entire dimension – an unending white void filled with tents, rollercoasters, etc, that can range from being thousands of meters tall to average sized.
- It’s split up into districts, some sections being for Dream-dwellers, Water-dependant species, etc.
- The ground-space is like a carnival mixed with a theme park.
- Things randomly happen that cause people to die. Some of the rides are broken, some lead into feeding areas for the animals, some are perfectly innocent, but nobody doubts The Circus because they’re so enamoured by how amazing it is on the surface.

BACKSTORY:
- The Ringmaster is a powerful incubus who founded The Circus dimension centuries back. He originated on Earth as a colleague of a famous human ringleader. After killing said ringleader and taking over his circus, The Ringmaster somehow magically (long story) stumbled upon a 'pocket dimension' while travelling. He spent a few decades studying and practising all sorts of magic before he found himself able to manipulate the walls of this dimension. Eventually he moved in and built The Circus. It's taken him a couple of centuries to get to this point.
- A keen collector of 'FUN' and all things rare, obscure and deadly, The Circus or ‘his collection’ is made of millions of performers and prisoners trapped together under one big empty sky (and several thousands of massive tents).
Where his personality frequently switches between being a childish, over-enthusiastic goofball to a deadly serious intellect his one goal is simple and unwavering; to collect one of every living species – no matter how dangerous or impossible – and hold them under his roof.
- Sure, the deadly encounters in his Circus often lead to a few thousand of his performers and guests dying each day, but he can get replacements with the click of a finger, right? And being an incubus he draws in and feeds on the unending amount of power from the love and adoration his Circus draws in for him. He’s a big ol’ heap of success.
- He met Creature when she visited The Circus dimension on an errand for Watchmaker. The Circus has a system (which I won’t explain here) that allows it to track any new/unknown species that visit the dimension, and since The Ringmaster didn’t have a ‘creature’ he quickly shifted his attention to her. He likes her, and after a few of what he would call ‘friendly bickers’ (full blown fights and death threats) he’s become obsessed with having her stay in his circus. She doesn’t want to, so… conflict, eyyy.

I was looking for character designs of Ringmasters for my original character and this is one of my favorites for inspiration! Thank you!
