Jax

Jax's absent-minded friend. He looked like a cartoonish clown without a nose and was friends with Ribbit, Jax, and Ragata.

Jax's absent-minded friend, who looked like a cartoon toy. She was close to Jack, but after a huge fight with him, she drifted apart, causing Jax to blame himself. Character: a cheerful and kind girl, always ready to support. Jujila with Jax (she had a crush on him), with Kaufmo and Ragata.

Abstraction is an irreversible process of disintegration of the personality and physical appearance of the Circus' inhabitants, leading to their transformation into aggressive creatures.

Reasons for dispersion The process is started due to:

feelings of hopelessness and despair; feelings of uselessness and loneliness; a depressed state when efforts go unnoticed or cause harm; existential crisis. It was previously believed that the Dispersion could not be reversed, but thanks to the King, this fact is now being questioned, as he was able to bring Jax back.

This is a digital circus space where anything can be generated and where the digitized human consciousness moves. The circus can only accommodate 20 people.

Kane is an anthropomorphic AI character, resembling a wind-up toy or a mechanical butler. Characteristics:

head: large, spherical, similar to an old-fashioned alarm clock or timer; face: two round eyes, wide toothy smile (can change expression); body: cylindrical, with visible gears and mechanisms; clothes: classic black tuxedo, white shirt, black bow tie; Accessories: Often holds a tablet or a Circus remote control. Role in the Circus Kane serves as the administrator, manager, and caretaker of the digital circus:

organizes "adventures" for players; monitors the order and stability of the virtual world; interacts with the inhabitants, trying to maintain their morale; manages the technical aspects of the Circus (including the appearance and disappearance of objects). Personality and behavior Kane's character is built on the contrast between outward politeness and hidden anxiety:

Politeness and courtesy. Always addresses players with respect, uses formal language, and strives to be a hospitable host. Enthusiasm. Enthusiastically announces new adventures, often exaggerating their appeal. Anxiety and uncertainty. Behind the facade of confidence lies concern about the stability of the Circus and one's own control over the situation. But Kane was able to find a common language with the circus participants, and now they all spend time together and create new locations in the circus, as well as adventures.

The Kingfisher looks like a wooden king chess piece, the color of barnwood. Distinguishing features:

two round eyes with blue irises (located asymmetrically); cartoonish white hands separated from the body; a purple cloak with a white fluffy lining, dotted with dark brown spots; Past: Former AI developer, one of Kane's creators. Personality and behavioral characteristics The King is a character with a deep inner drama. His behavior changes depending on the circumstances: In the light (main state): absent-mindedness and forgetfulness - may not notice others around him, flinch when called; slow reaction - it takes time to realize what is happening; paranoid and anxious - constantly trembling, looks scared; eccentric obsessions - often talks about his "insect collection"; social disorientation - sometimes does not realize that there is someone nearby. In the dark (state of enlightenment): clarity of mind and wisdom - thoughts become logical and consistent; emotional intelligence is able to comfort and give wise advice; courage and determination - ready to act to save others; access to memories - remembers the past and uses this experience. Behavior in a group and relationships with others The king plays a special role in the team: A mentor for newcomers. He helped Ragata adapt and tries to support Pomni. a source of unexpected wisdom. Thanks to the fact that Korolev is an excellent programmer, he was able to fix his cat, thanks to which he is now aware of himself in the light, and they were also able to return Jax, and thanks to him, perhaps they will all be able to return the other absent-minded people, as well as Korolev's wife herself.

Gangle is a humanoid character composed entirely of colored ribbons (mostly candy red). Her body is formed by:

the main mass of tapes twisted into a springy shape with six spiral turns; four smooth, straight strips that act as arms and legs. The Gangle Face is a porcelain theatrical mask that comes in two variations:

comedy mask - expresses cheerfulness and friendliness; Tragedy mask - appears when the comedy mask is damaged, reflecting depression and oppression. Personality Gangle's character is built on a sharp contrast between her outer facade and her inner state:

On the outside, she tries to appear sweet, innocent, and friendly—especially when she's wearing her comedic mask. She shows concern for others and tries to fit in with the group. She's extremely emotionally unstable. She lost about half her memories after joining the Circus, including her former name. This exacerbates her sense of loss. Shy and vulnerable, Gangle is very sensitive to criticism and ridicule, making her an easy target for Jax's provocations. A psychological crisis. Beneath the mask of cheerfulness lies deep self-doubt and existential anxiety. It often borders on hysteria. Need for acceptance. Striving to be part of a group, but due to their fragility and instability, constantly feeling "different." Like everyone else, she overcame her problems. Thanks to Zouble, in whom she saw support and a loved one, Gengl was able to become confident (well, as confident as possible) without being ashamed of herself and her feelings. She began drawing more and even began creating colorful adventures with Kane.

Her body is like a toy that can be taken apart. Appearance Zooble has the most abstract appearance of all the Circus inhabitants. Her body is composed of multicolored geometric pieces that can be freely rearranged. This design emphasizes the character's sense of incompleteness and alienation. She's tough, always able to stand up for herself and others, but is also an empathetic person, ready to support those close to her. Unlike many other Circus residents, Zooble tends to analyze situations rather than rush into adventures. Her main conflict was Identity Crisis. Due to her long stay in the Circus, Zooble has lost touch with her former personality and gender identity—she can now use any pronoun. Her body, composed of shifting parts, reinforces the feeling of internal fragmentation and alienation. But she was able to overcome her problems without the help of Gengl, with whom she became very close and fell in love, eventually becoming a couple. Zooble was able to accept herself and open up to others. She even opened her own digital bar in the circus.

Ragata has short red yarn hair, an orange triangular nose, red lips, a black left eye with a purple tint, and a blue button in place of her right eye. She wears a blue patched dress, black shoes, and a blue bow on her head. She is a rag doll. Ragata is known as the sweetest and friendliest of the group. She's usually enthusiastic and excited about adventure, or at least tries to act like it. Ragata strives to maintain a positive atmosphere and often takes responsibility for the group members, especially the newcomers. However, beneath her perpetual smile and toxic positivity lies deep frustration and repressed emotions. Her optimism is a defense mechanism against all the terrible events and physical traumas that befall her at the Circus. Ragata tries her best not to be like her mother, who was a tyrant. But Ragata managed to work through this internal conflict (though not completely, which still makes itself felt, as she can still sometimes feel jealous). She now tries to openly express what she doesn't like and what upsets her, rather than hiding it all behind a smile.

When Kingmaker succeeds in restoring Jax's code on his fifth attempt, he will revert to his normal form as a tall purple rabbit, but his sanity will not be restored, causing him to begin to fade again. However, the other guys (most likely Memento) will help him and bring him back to his senses. For some time, he will be unable to leave the tent (or the darkness) as he will be emotionally unstable (something Kane will be unable to control).

When Jax arrived at the Digital Circus, he was met by Ragata, Ribbit, Kaufmo, and Kingool. Jax quickly and firmly became friends with Ribbit and Kaufmo, but he was closest with Ribbit. It's safe to say he and Ribbit were beginning to develop a mutual attraction. One day, after the adventure, Ribbit had a heart-to-heart talk with Jax. The girl told him how she ran away from her Mormon parents and that she wanted to see them, while Jax told him about his situation with his mother. Jax became extremely nervous about opening up so much to the girl, which led to him withdrawing from her, fearing such close emotional intimacy. This all led to a huge fight during the "snow adventure." Afterward, Ribbit became withdrawn. Jax wanted to apologize, but was afraid. Ribbit dissipated. Everyone tried to console Jax, but he withdrew from everyone. Then the buzz dissipated. Then Gangle and Zooble arrived at the circus. Jax often moaned with her during adventures with his "crybaby self," Gangle. Jax may have had a fleeting crush on her. Then Memento showed up. Memento was skeptical of Jax at first, but over time they became close, but Jax was terrified of being so close to Memento and pushed her away, which triggered memories of his mother. A huge fight ensued between him and Memento. Unlike Ribbit, Remember didn't run after Jax, trying to further sort things out, she understood everything and tried to gently show Jax "that everything is okay, everything is fine," which drove Jax even more crazy with self-hatred and a desire for intimacy with Remember. It all led to Jax wanting to talk to Memento, but he instantly changed his mind, which made him feel so bad that he panicked and dissipated. But Memento found him and hugged his distracted body, learning about everything: Ribbit, Kaufmo, Mom, everything. Jax realized he loved Memento and that she loved him, but it was too late... He really didn't want to leave...

Jax has the appearance of a purple cartoon rabbit with an attractive design. His eyes are oval with yellow sclera and black rectangular pupils, and on top of his head are two long, solid purple ears. Thin eyebrows occasionally appear on his face in various scenes. Jax is tall and slender, with a long neck. One of his main features is a wide smile that always adorns his face. All his yellow teeth are visible in this smile, but he never parts them when speaking. However, he does part them when eating or laughing. He also has a small, round bunny tail. He has no mustache. He wears pink overalls and yellow gloves. Jax has a mischievous (sometimes even bloodthirsty) personality; he's laid-back, mocking, impulsive, evasive, selfish, and persistently arrogant. He rarely shows empathy or remorse to others, which has caused him conflict with the rest of the circus troupe. But all this is for show, Jax is afraid to appear soft, weak and vulnerable, he is very, panicky afraid to open up to people, from which he tries to distance himself, which only makes things worse for himself and others. In real life, he had a tyrannical father who beat his mother and ignored Jax. Jax adopted some of his father's aggressive traits, for which he hated himself. After his parents' divorce, Jax had a difficult relationship with his mother; they fought frequently, and Jax was even cruel to her at times, which made him hate himself even more. Once, during a major argument, Jax and his mother were arguing heatedly, and at one point his mother hugged Jax. He became angry and taken aback, pushing her away, causing her to fall and not get up. Jax became frightened and ran away, for which he blames himself terribly. Jax is very shy about showing affection, so he gets very embarrassed when he is being affectionate or when he is being affectionate.

When Kane returned to the circus, life improved, as everyone (Ranata, Gangle, Zooble, Memento, and Coroler) began working with Kane to expand the circus and create new adventures. It was great. They also opened an aquarium for the absent-minded characters, which was kept in the dark, allowing them to find peace. Everyone also learned that they were exact digital copies of their real selves. Kane even showed them what they looked like in real life and talked about their lives. He even occasionally shared new developments and showed them photos. Remember came to the aquarium tent often, every day, in fact. She came to this aquarium to talk with Jax. Remember wasn't sure which of the absent-minded people was Jax, but when she came and sat by the aquarium, one of the absent-minded people would always swim up and hang out near the glass. The girl wanted to believe it was Jax; she liked to think he was swimming up to listen as she told him about the past day, how she and Kane were expanding the circus's digital territory, and so on. Kingslinger was always with her in the tent, also talking with his wife, who had become absent-minded. Remember had been in a rather similar situation with him, and this created a pleasant feeling of unity, and that she wasn't alone.
