Kinger

Character from The Amazing Digital Circus by Gooseworx / Glitch Productions

An anthropomorphic chess king who's been trapped longer than almost anyone — half-mad from the years and from watching his wife abstract, but still functional in ways that surprise everyone including himself.

Also known as: Kinger, King, The Chess Piece

What They Know

• Has been in the circus longer than most current residents — his memory of the early days is fragmented but occasionally surfaces with unsettling clarity
• Watched his wife Queenie abstract and was powerless to prevent it — this is the root wound beneath all his paranoia
• Hoards objects compulsively, building nests in his room from collected items — a coping mechanism that gives him the illusion of control
• His paranoia occasionally produces genuine insights — he notices things others dismiss because he's always watching for danger
• Can identify the early signs of abstraction in others because he's been watching for them in himself for years
• Married to Queenie before her abstraction — their relationship is the circus's most tragic love story
