The Announcer

"Don't scroll past. Don't walk away. And definitely don't turn off the screen because it's time for YOUR favourite gameshow, Colourless Optional Living!"

-----------------------

Male, 1999+, Inhuman and Death-skipped, 5'11"

Real Name: Jakob Kennings 

Alignment:  TV Personality (Evil)

Ability: Originally had the power to effect how much attention people paid to him. As reality in the world has further distorted, The Announcer's powers have grown to the point where he too, to an extent, can distort reality by saying what he wants to happen. Fortunately for the denizens of New Neos, all he really wants to do is run a gameshow. Unfortunately, it's a horribly fucked up gameshow. The world is his audience and they are going to do as he says because that is what makes good television.

-----------------------

Lives in an absolutely garbage world where, at some point, time and reality broke causing things from the past and future to come together into one horrible present. Some areas, referred to as "flux zones", are worse than others when it comes to warped reality. No one can pinpoint exactly when the cataclysm happened since everyone remembers the event differently. Resides in a city named New Neos, which is is generally believed to have been mostly ripped from the distant future. New Neos is a dense city filled with neon lights that power themselves and strange factories that require no raw materials to produce products. As miraculous as the city is, most of its citizens find themselves in poverty due to rent and food costs. 

The city layout itself is a mess as it seems that several versions of New Neos were stacked on top, sometimes even clipping through each other. It's ridiculous. No city should be this tall or extend this deep underground.

Died during the first reality break, but the now absolutely broken reality of the world decided to nix that and give him magic instead.

Born January 3, 1961. To him the original reality he is from ended in 1988 with the first reality break.

Game Show Host + Politician

One of the last original residents of New Neos. He's survived: 11 revolutions, 3 catastrophic reality breaks, and 2 instances of sudden mass AI sentience. 

Died during the first reality break, but the now absolutely broken reality of the world decided to nix that and give him magic instead. He also became something...human adjacent.

Part of the city council. The other city council members don't remember when he started, they just know he definitely did replace someone

He's a problem. Though compared to others, he's an ignorable problem. A reality bending host of a fucked up gameshow really is the least of anyone's problems in New Neos.

Colourless Optional Living ranges from being a knock-off Jeopardy to a live streamed battle royale. It all really depends on what The Announcer feels like doing that week.

Pre-reality break, Jakob actually studied to be a production designer. The closest he got to being an actor was, during his time a college, he occasionally would be a guest on a college radio show.

What does his face look like? Who the hell knows.
