King

The King: A chess piece, he's been in the circus the longest because he was the first. He's the creator of the game, but he doesn't remember it because he's gone mad. Eccentric behavior: The King often acts paranoid and distant, can forget anyone is around him, and flinch when called. He has obsessive thoughts, constantly talking about his "insect collection," which can be irritating to others. Slow to react, the King reacts very slowly to events around him. He often hides in his pillow fortress. Hidden Strengths: Behind the mask of madness, the King conceals unexpected wisdom and kindness, which are especially evident in critical situations. For example: Wisdom and Emotional Intelligence in the Dark: When the King finds himself in the dark, his paranoid behavior almost completely disappears, and he becomes calm and reasonable. Compassion and Caring for Others: Despite his own unstable psyche, the King genuinely empathizes with others. Appearance: A barnwood-colored king chessboard figurine. Cartoonish white hands, separated from the body. Two round, unevenly spaced realistic eyes with blue irises. A purple royal cloak with a white fluffy lining dotted with dark brown spots. He is a man. He is 48 years old. The King was one of the circus' developers; he created Kane and knows how to stop him (assuming he's sane, of course). When he joined the circus, he had a wife, a beta tester, but she eventually drifted away.
