Bingo Bongo

About

HAHAHomes is a mime-run company specializing in making abodes for those looking for somewhere to laugh. While mimes get a history of being dreary or even on the snooty side, these homes are packed with character. The only downside, however, is that these homes are also invisible! As you can imagine, consumers aren’t too pleased with this, leading to meetings with Bingo…

Background

Bingo Bongo is a lawyer working in HAHA Resources. His nine to five consists of sitting and listening to complaints from customers and construction workers about their issues with the company. He simply does not tolerate any funny business of the sort, as reflected by his permanent upside-down smile.

Born as the oldest of his brothers Gary and Elmer, Bingo made sure that he was setting a good example for them! The world wasn’t all goofs and gaffs, and if they didn’t learn that soon, they could be seriously hurt!

He had a great passion for the musical arts but found that others didn’t take him seriously because he was a clown. Frustrated and embarrassed, he decided to change his career entirely to pursue something that demanded respect: law. So he did a complete 360, phasing out unnecessary distractions from his life, such as his musical career and wife at the time. This dedication quickly placed him at the top of his job. He seemed to craft a perfect, predictable life of his own. That was until he received a rather unexpected package on his doorstep.

It was a brightly colored sack housing a baby courtesy of his recently divorced wife. Unfortunately, this baby wasn’t just a clown, but a very obvious Jokester to complicate matters. Raising this child was difficult as the young Drizzle was incredibly hyperactive and prone to shenanigans. However, with time, what was viewed as a disruption softened Bingo’s heart, prompting him to be the best father he could be despite lacking experience. While he is still very much of a grump at his job, he never misses Drizzle’s broadcast as it always makes him smile.

Relationships

Drizzle

Drizzle is Bingo's pride and joy! And he'd quickly scrap with anyone who'd even THINK of hurting their feelings. Whiles anyone can think that their personality is overwhelming, he loves being in their company and hearing all the hijinks they encounter at work.

Elmer Gloo

While Bingo was worried about both his brothers, he was concerned about Elmer for the wrong reasons! In his younger years, he was an enormous trickster and was always seconds from getting into trouble; trouble Bingo had to get him out of most often than not. Bingo is more than happy he’s since snapped out of it and will be forever grateful to Glitter.

Scary Gary

Despite what his name may insinuate, scary Gary was always the more tenderhearted of the brothers. For that reason, Bingo has always been at his side, making sure no one picks on him. He tries to suggest that the clown use his abilities to scare some sense into people, but these talks always seem to come through one ear and straight out the other with this guy.
