Description [ The Formal Attire is inspired by ChikaMC 's Circus Sculpture  ]

~~


Name: Ringleader

Known As: Circus Master

Affiliation: Circus' Guard (Administration)


Appearance:

Mostly a walking shadow, when the Ringleader chooses to use his tangible form he maintains the color palate of his Circus, wearing narrow, red leather shoes and leather gloves of the same color, tight black pants, and a jacket with a red front and black back, and ghostly coattails with red lining that seem to float and extend just around the corner of the eye, making it appear endless. He wears a top hat with a red strip at its base that covers his eyes. His face are featureless and only show a mouth glowing white that curls in when he's smiling widely, and when he laughs his mouth open to reveal a glowing red inside.

He also has a black walking cane with a pointed tip and a silver handle that he uses as a weapon in time of need.


The Ringleader is also one of the only ones in the Circus to have an “alternate costume”, somewhat of a formal attire, one where his jacket presents some decorative patterns with an added flashy golden lining.

To what formalities this attire is meant is still unclear.


Personality:

The Ringleader appears quite laid back at first with quite a casual approach, but upon knowing him a little up close, a more manipulative and somewhat paranoid side of him is revealed.

He'll get pretty mad if things don't go as he intended them to, and sometimes will exaggerate in his reaction to rather minor irregularities, sometimes earning him a harsh reaction from certain Guard members.

When it comes to fights, the Ringleader will usually avoid them – despite his capability of fighting – as he would prefer to leave these tasks to his Guard, for safety's sake.



Abilities:

Crushing Cane- While the Ringleader's cane may look like just an elegant accessory, it's quite a solid staff and can deal significant damage even without full momentum. Turned upside down, it can serve as a type of sword.


Shifting Shadows- Since the Ringleader can don both a tangible and non-tangible form at will, he can switch between the two at any point of need, making him almost untouchable.


Weaknesses:

Crucial Center- This weakness doesn't lay in the Ringleader's form, but in his importance. As the creator of the Circus, should something happen to him, the entire place might collapse.


Armorless Administrator- Other than his ability to turn into a nearly untouchable shadow, the Ringleader has no proper defensive qualities to him.



General Info:

The Ringleader, as the name applies, is the creator and manger of the Circus, a lost soul whose vengeance and anger lead to the creation of the place, and eventually found peace in maintaining it and turning it to some sort of residence or final resting place to those who were less fortunate.

Assisting him is the Toy Maker, a mysterious being whose true identity and appearance are unknown, save for a handful of individuals.


Even though the Ringleader was materialized as a new being and was no longer integrated into the world he himself created (as he was in the beginning), he is still able to subconsciously feel what's happening in it. However, this task became difficult the more the Circus grew, and he created the Circus' Guard for the purpose of further monitoring the Circus.


Relationships:

  • Administrative partnership with the Toy Maker.

  • An authority-subordinate relationship with the Circus' Guard

  • Frequent quarrels with the Tamer over various disagreements.

  • A somewhat tense relationship with the Undertaker, due to some questionable motives.


Extra Info:

  • The Ringleader is one of two individuals allowed in the Toy Maker's Workshop without notice. The other one being Child's Play.

  • He is aware that the members of the Guard won't get along all the time, but won't interfere unless a potentially lethal fight breaks between them.

Oh? how so?
Is this because of his shadow figure or something in the character/personality itself?

From what little I've read in the description, it just seems to have the same sort of...feel, I guess, as the Lost game I'm in.  (This ringleader also looks like my brother's character, which doesn't hurt.  XD  )  And fae have...titles, that are a sort of archetype.  Like "The Ringleader" or as mentioned in your description "The Toymaker" that describes the sort of...role that Fae is taking on at that point in time.  And it's almost always a dark and twisted take on it.

In fact I came across your picture by chance looking up what ringleader garb normally looks like because my brother, who runs the game, just introduced a Fae called The Ringleader that I wanted to draw.  

And he has another called The Dollmaker.  So coincidentally, the story concept you have here reminded me a lot of that.  At least the part you've spoken of in this deviation.  C:

ohh I see
that's pretty cool :3 guess the title thing goes for most of the characters in the story, as a lot are named after their assumed role
