Patch


F, 28

Length of Time in the Circus:
arrived after Pomni, has been here for a couple of weeks

Appearance:
  • 6' 0" (just a tad taller than Gangle)
  • a doll made of spare parts---pieces of faded vintage scrap fabric and mismatched feet and articulated hands made of different types polished wood (if you've seen the movie 9, her left foot and hand are like theirs)
  • two felted buttons, one purple and one blue, are attached to the front of her suit
  • her face moves in 2D (similar to Gangle's)
  • if you were to remove her hat, the top of her wooden head would be flat. Her head shape is somewhat like a rounded dreidel.


Avatar Customizations:
N/A

Personality:
Overall, Patch presents as friendly yet at least mildly uncomfortable at any given moment. She's not too distressed about being in the circus, but she would be if she let herself think about it long enough. She chooses to see the circus as a new start in life and is generally accepting of their situtation. She leans into the game aspect of the circus and generally likes adventures that don't involve too much horror. Patch is cooperative and wants her peers to have fun.

Room Appearance:
Patch's room is pretty plain. There are no decorations on the light blue walls except for a row of fun house mirrors on the wall that she can see from the foot of her bed. Clothes, books, and puzzles lay in messy piles around the room. Thankfully, the bed is comfortable with plush blankets and a couple of off-brand Squishmallows.

Avatar Quirks:
  • When Patch holds her breath, her suit fills up like a ballon and she beings to float.
  • If she were to roll up her sleeves, there would be no body. Just a floating hand would be left behind.


Bio:
Outside of the circus, Patch is an elementary teacher. She recently graduated with her Master's in Special Education and was job searching. She'd been majorly stressed about the state of the world and of education, especially special ed and the instability of teaching as a profession combined with lack of admin support regarding student behaviors in the traditional classroom that she taught in.
Patch is on the autism spectrum and in her real life, often felt like she didn't fit in and was made of unwanted leftovers. She struggled to balance the demands of adult life, even though she was crushing it at work and in school. It was difficult for her to keep up with chores, exercise, and her to-do list that seemed to double by the day. She had a very small friend group and regularly feels unsure about social interactions. In real life, she sometimes wondered if she was real and to what extent she even existed, fearing that she was nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Other Info:
Patch has dysautonomia outside of the circus and quite enjoys that she is able to move freely in her new body. She has some health anxiety as a result and becomes anxious when something in her new body feels "off."

Clover



Age: 23

Length of Time in the Circus: Somewhere between Zooble and Gangle

Appearance:
  • A hair shorter than Pomni.
  • A five-leaf clover. (He wasn't thinking too hard when he picked his name.) The heart-shaped leaves serving as his feet and hands narrow so their silhouettes resemble rounded heels and gloves. His head is heart-shaped, with two black gaps for eyes. His eyes are a little inset into his face, similar to Jax's.
  • His limb leaves are a darker green than his head leaf.
  • He has no mouth.

Avatar Customisations/Alternate Appearances:
  • Most times he'll be seen wearing a little yellow capelet. Clover feels uncomfortable being bare with his avatar as is, but with his lack of a torso, regular clothes are hard.

Personality: He's always felt like life was a constant, pointless hum, so him being stuck in the Circus isn't much different. He tries to make the most of his life here where he can, but some days he'll feel too tired and sequester himself in his room. He's typically soft-spoken and agreeable, but he'll stay out of conflict when he can. People would be hard-pressed to get a reaction out of him, positive or otherwise. He doesn't let himself get too attached to anything, doesn't hope for anything and doesn't enjoy anything too much - the fewer chances for disappointment, the better.

Room Appearance: Clover's room is coloured with earth tones, full of greens and browns. It's got a number of potted plants, most of which are non-descript succulents with occasional random sunflower. He's thought of asking Caine for a cat plushie, but never managed to decide if he really wanted one.

Avatar Quirks:
  • His avatar doesn't have a double-take feature per se, but when startled, all his limb leaves blow off his avatar, leaving only the stems. Jax loves it. Clover, of course, hates it.
  • If Clover jumps off a high place, he'll glide down like a leaf. It's a mostly uncontrolled descent as he swings back and forth on the way down like a cartoony leaf.
  • If he holds his breath, he 'stretches' - the stems of all five of his leaves grow out. It feels as uncanny as it looks so he doesn't do it often, if at all.

Bio: Clover lived alone in a small rental apartment with his cat, Chunky. (He finds it weird that he can remember his cat's name and not his own. Grateful, but weird.) Clover graduated with a high school diploma and ended up working as a shop assistant to a neighbourhood florist. People have asked him if he had any future career plans but he didn't see any issue with his choice of work - it's convenient, nearby, and paid enough for rent and food. In life, he had an excellent resting poker face, but his avatar features in the Circus give him away more often then he likes.

Other Information:
  • Jax delights in scaring Clover for a quick laugh when his leaves blow off, but otherwise doesn't do much else to him as Clover's unbothered disposition bores him.

Riff




age: 21

gender: gender-fluid (answers/uses any pronouns.)

length of time in the circus: arrived some time before Ribbit's abstraction and Gangle's appearance.

appearance:
A walking, talking plush bird.

Stands just a foot short of Jax’s height.

Red and sunset orange body, aqua blue eyes.

Avatar Customisations/Alternate Appearances:
They wear a scarf that seems to change color/pattern with each ‘day’ of the circus.

Personality: Riff is the resident "grumpy older sibling" of the circus. They project an aura of being completely "done" with everything, using a razor-sharp, dry wit as a defensive shield to keep people at a distance. If you’re looking for someone to sugarcoat the reality of being trapped in a digital hell, Riff is the last person you should ask. Riff is a tired, sarcastic survivalist who acts like a cactus—prickly on the outside to protect a very sensitive, loyal interior. They aren't here to be the 'star of the show' like Cain wants everyone to be; they’re just here to make sure they (and the few people they tolerate) survive the performance with their sanity intact.

Room Appearance: Riff's room is saturated in deep sunset hues—burnt oranges, dusky purples, and muted reds—giving the space a permanent "golden hour" glow that feels heavy and still. The walls are draped in thick, velvet curtains that help dampen the noise from outside.

The furniture is low-profile and oversized, consisting of overstuffed beanbags and floor cushions in dark, solid tones. Scattered throughout are souvenirs from past adventures that hold a sentimental value: oddly shaped rocks, a few pictures, and other small things. Instead of a standard bed, there is a large, circular plush nest filled with weighted blankets and a single, well-worn bird plushie. The lighting is soft and indirect, provided by a few floating, warm-toned lanterns that drift slowly near the ceiling like embers.

avatar quirks:
  • When they hold their breath, their fluff poofs up, making them look a lot fluffier.
  • Despite being a plushy, in some moments the tips of his ‘talons’ can be as sharp as the real deal. Blames it on toon logic.
  • Their eyes can be removed, but it isn't something they like to do often, as it takes time to re-attach them if Cain isn't available to fix his avatar.


bio: Before the circus, [ERROR] was a young adult struggling to navigate the transition into independence. Having recently completed a year of community college, they were no stranger to the weight of responsibility, often feeling as though they were the primary anchor for a large, complicated household. Life was a constant cycle of demanding labor and increasingly high expectations, leaving [ERROR] in a state of chronic exhaustion. They carried the quiet, heavy burden of being the one everyone else leaned on, even when their own foundation felt like it was crumbling under the stress of a world that didn't seem to care.

Much of their memory is now a hazy blur of gray skies, shouting, pain, punctuated by the sharp feeling of never having enough privacy or a space to simply exist. They remember the constant friction of a crowded home and the deep-seated insecurity that came from living in an environment where being "different" felt dangerous. By the time they found the headset, [ERROR] was less a person and more a hollow shell, searching for an exit from a life that felt like an endless, losing battle against burnout and isolation.

other info:
  • You’ll often catch Riff rubbing the bridge of their beak or squinting like the sun is just a little too bright, even when they're indoors. They seem to carry a lingering sense of exhaustion that no amount of digital sleep can fix. Because of this, they’re usually the first one to complain when Caine gets too "loud" with his magic, and they’ll always advocate for the quietest route possible during an adventure.
  • Riff is almost never truly still. If they aren’t working on a project, they’re fidgeting—braiding a piece of string, tossing a small pebble, or taking something apart just to put it back together. They seem to think better when their hands are moving, and they have a strange, quiet talent for fixing the small things the others usually just give up on.
  • Riff uses dry sarcasm like a suit of armor. They aren't necessarily trying to be mean; it’s more like a test to see who is willing to look past the prickly exterior. If you can handle the biting wit and the "I’m done with this" attitude, you’ll find that they are actually one of the most reliable people to have at your back when things start falling apart.
  • they are easily startled by sudden, loud noises. A surprise "pop" from Caine can make them jump and immediately go on the defensive, showing a high-strung nature that they try very hard to mask behind their "done with this" attitude.
  • Hobbies: reading (mostly fiction), drawing, cooking.
  • When particularly stressed, they will look for other things to try focusing on, one of their go-to methods (thanks to their upbringing and OCD) is cleaning or straightening up any sort of 'mess' they see.
