i’ve given in and made a TADC character... only it’s not really original and instead based on another interest of mine, hitman: world of assassination.
everyone, meet toby! (more commonly known as agent 47, or the apex predator.)
(please ignore the fifth arrow by him, it is outdated)
Toby knows not how he got inside the circus, nor how to escape, just like anyone else. However, what makes him actually confusing is that he carries around hundreds of weapons-turned-toys, despite his cute looks, and always finds himself threatening someone. Where does he even store those things?
He has a gun, but it fires confetti. He has explosives, but they turn to glitter. He has syringes with poison, but they turn to water or even antibiotics for digital ‘diseases’. He has a lockpick, but it turns to a gummy worm when it tries to be used. He is not having a good time.
His fuzz and eye color and shape change based on his emotions. Yellow is the default, black is for any negative emotion, white is for dizziness. He also puts on a monocle and hat if he feels quite fancy. Red is for anger, and if he ever sprouts horns and wings while red, run for your life.
He has a tense relationship with Jax, having been coldly welcomed to the circus by his sadistic self. He does not engage with Gangle and Pomni, as he considers them cowards. He occasionally talks to Ragatha and Zooble, as they seem the sane ones around here; he talks with Ragatha about their world, and with Zooble, to criticise the others.
He is friends with Kinger. He finds his presence calming, or rather comforting.
He doesn’t know what to make of Caine.
Toby wants to escape, as does anyone else. But does he have what it takes to return to his life in the outside world? Does he even want to? Maybe life is safer inside the circus.
Toby doesn’t know it, but he’s risked it all out there. The circus is as good as it gets for him.
So stay inside, Toby.
close-ups, references and trivia! :D
also, a possible abstracted form!
here are the references for his design:
TRIVIA
his personality is only loosely based on his old self, agent 47; once he enters the circus, he begins to act more and more uncharacteristically, or at least simply let out his emotions more.
his appearance is based on the rubber duck explosives in-game.
his name is based on his alias of Tobias Rieper. he subconciously remembers this and chooses the name Toby.
however, he doesn’t choose his name right away. it actually takes a lot of insistance from Caine and a lot of time for him to choose a name.
his relationships with the others change over time. if it’s for better or for worse, that’s another thing.
if his relationships were to improve, he would become somewhat of a father figure around the circus, especially for the scared shitless Pomni and the sarcastic Jax.
if they were to worsen, he would seclude himself so much it would drive him insane and lead him to abstraction.
if thrown, he squeaks like a rubber duck. Jax has made this discovery and is incredibly pleased by it. Toby isn’t.
he is soft to touch because of his fuzz, but his skin is rubber.
he doesn’t know how to take care of his fuzz because he was bald. seeing he can’t seem to take care of his so-called hair, he begins to suspect he is bald in the outside world.
extreme anger can not only lead to a terrifying appearance, but also make him explode, and just like his bombs, he explodes into confetti. however, he immediately regenerates.
he is often teased because of his age by Jax, but he is the most athletic and agile out of anyone in the circus and makes sure everyone knows it.
he would help someone even if he didn’t like them. maybe except for Jax... but he would help even him, would the situation call for it.
