The Clown

"Cramps..."
439243_2b3f6.png

The Clown is a sorry figure haunting the remains of a circus. His past is lost to him, just like his name. He lives in the now, with no grasp on anything beyond the present. His memory won’t hold onto anything for long.
 
He finds small comfort in peppermint tea and coffee, the flavors and warmth offering brief relief from his aches. But his shaky hands often betray him, spilling the scalding liquid onto his lap.
 
Few names reach him through the fog:
 
  • Cramps: A nickname others have given him, due to the fact he can’t stop repeating the phrase during his frequent fits.
  • Banzo: His old circus act name, a clue for anyone digging into his history.
  • Pepper/Pepper Pot: Self-given, depending on his mood - Pepper for the rare good moments, Pepper Pot for the bad.
  • Wiley the Withered: A name that surfaces when he’s pushed, he says this name feels the most correct for him.
  • Stanley: The name given by those who feel like they’ve always known him.

Trivia

Four of his names were suggested by other users:
Banzo by CandyDemonz, Pepper/Pepper Pot by Bloonarius, Wiley by Swifty-Wish, and Stanley by BearKyo!

The Clown isn’t mean, just lost and scared. If you cross paths with him, he might cling to you, driven by fear, not malice. He makes it hard to leave him, not because he's dangerous, but because he's so desperately lonely and scared.
 
He doesn’t seek help because he doesn’t understand the concept. He’s stuck in immediate needs, dealing with his pain right then and there. If you need to leave, you just have to be firm. He's living moment to moment, and each one is a struggle.

He is extremely frightened by the sounds of balloons popping, (Idea given by Bloonarius) 
It makes him flinch, tense up, and wail.

The Clown is known to take desperate measures to make others stay, but physical harm to others is never, ever on the table for him.

But still, he can come off as unintentionally creepy to most people.
