Amazing Digital Circus (Lite Version)

[Human Characters] Pomni's

Appearance

Pomni is a stylized humanoid character, with a large head and small, slim limbs. She has completely white skin, with small markings imitating blush underneath her eyes, and black eyelids and thick lines around her eyes that may represent eyeliner. Her pupil formation appears to change frequently. It is most often appears as a red and blue pinwheel imprint, but when she feels heightened anxiety or fear, her pupils are replaced with animated scribbles. She has asymmetrical eyelashes, with her left eye having eyelashes on the top eyelid and her right eye having eyelashes on the bottom. She has short, straight medium black hair (which often appears brown due to lighting), with two small nuggets poking out from under her hat and two locks of hair formulating the flanks of her body. Her ensemble resembles that of a jester, rather than that of a circus clown like Kaufmo. She wears a red and blue jumpsuit with round, poofy sleeves, and shorts. The torso part of the jumpsuit features dual colors in a mirrored/reverse design for the front and back, with blue (right) and red (left), and vice versa respectively, with her sleeves and shorts being striped. She has additional yellow accents, being a pair of spheres on her front torso (which could resemble pom-poms or buttons), round shapes (which could resembles bands or comically large rings) around her sleeves, upper thighs/waist, and shorts, and a shirt collar, implying an undershirt. On her head, she wears a matching striped, two-armed jester's hat, with a yellow brim and small, yellow bells on the tips of the hat's elbows, which all of us never see separated from her head. She also wears gloves, with the left one being blue, and the right being red. Inverse to this, her left shoe is red, and her right shoe is blue—both pairs having the same yellow accents as the ones on her clothing, which resembles cuffs and socks respectively. Pomni's

Personality

Starts high-strung, anxious, and clumsy, showing empathy mixed with selfishness (e.g., abandoning Ragatha but later regretting it). Evolves to apathetic and cynical, then more compassionate, confident, and open. She bonds with others, prefers relaxing adventures, and grows closer to the group, though she can become hot-tempered or hurt in conflicts, like with Jax. Jax's

Appearance

Jax is an anthropomorphic periwinkle cartoon rabbit whose design evokes the look of early cartoon characters, also known as "rubber hose" characters. He has long bunny ears on the top of his oval-shaped head, and his overall build is tall and slender, with a rather long neck. Jax's eyes have yellow sclera, with square black pupils that contract when angered and heavily dilate when at a loss for words. Jax's yellow teeth usually have a flat shape to them, but when his mouth is opened, his teeth appear sharp and jagged. Jax has thin eyebrows that appear in the majority of the scenes. In "They All Get Guns", Jax has a small, spherical tail where previously he didn't. Jax ocasionally is shown without a his yellow teeth out. Jax wears light, pink-colored overalls and pale-yellow gloves. His overalls have yellow buttons on them and also have a single lighter pink rectangular pocket on the front and lighter pink sections on the bottom hem of his overalls. He is usually barefoot. Jax's

Personality

Mischievous, arrogant, sarcastic, and sadistic, enjoying chaos and bloodshed while showing little empathy. Often impulsive and condescending, but hides vulnerabilities like insecurity about bonds and panic attacks. Deep down, he's scarred, uses cruelty as a coping mechanism, and shows rare compassion (e.g., saving others, bonding with Pomni). He cares more than he admits, especially for friends, but resists emotional attachments to avoid pain. Gangle's

Appearance

Gangle appears to be made up of four candy red ribbons that form a humanoid shape. Her face is a white porcelain mask with black eyes and mouth. Her body consists of the main mass of the ribbons that curl, making a spring shape that spirals four times, two ribbons that form her legs, and a single ribbon for her arms (one end is the right arm, while the other end is her left arm). Whenever her comedy mask gets broken or removed, her next mask appears, switching to a sad version of the former, clarified by Gooseworx as her tragedy mask. It is said when she holds her breath her mask starts spinning. Gangle's

Personality

Fragile emotionally and physically; masks influence presentation but not core feelings comedy mask makes her upbeat, tragedy mask sorrowful. Shy, easily tormented (especially by Jax), but grows confident with a new mask, becoming outgoing yet bossy. Develops self-acceptance through mentorship from Zooble, standing up more and embracing her multifaceted self. Kinger's

Appearance

Kinger is an alder wood-colored king chess piece. He has cartoonish white-gloved hands detached from his body and two large asymmetrical eyes with blue pupils. Though Kinger lacks a mouth, he retains the ability to speak and breathe. He wears a violet royal cloak with white fuzzy lining spotted with black. In Episode 3, Kinger is shown to glow when holding his breath. Kinger's

Personality

Erratic, paranoid, and absent-minded from circus trauma, with slow reactions and insect interests (tied to his abstracted wife). In darkness, he regains sanity, becoming wiser, compassionate, and emotionally intelligent (e.g., comforting others). Despite insanity, he's brave, cares deeply for the group, and offers advice when stable. Zooble's

Appearance

Zooble is made of random colorful shapes and parts that make them resemble a Mix-and-Match toy. Consistently throughout the series, their head has been a hot pink isosceles triangle tilted downwards. Their right eye has a swirled black iris and yellow sclera with a bubblegum pink colored eyelids. Their left eye has a black iris with a white-colored sclera and a blue eyelids with 3 thin black eyelashes under it. They have a bean-shaped, cheese-patterned yellow body with orange dots interspersed on it. Zooble's

Personality

Grouchy, irritable, and dysphoric about their form, often opting out of adventures. Rude and curse-prone but compassionate (e.g., mourning abstractions, helping Gangle). Takes a mentor role to Gangle, promoting self-love, and shows care like ensuring safety or appreciating art. Ragatha's

Appearance

Ragatha's appearance resembles that of a living ragdoll with red, shoulder length yarn-like hair, black eyebrows, a flat, reddish-orange triangular nose, and a blue button as her left eye. She wears a long blue dress (which often appears purple due to lighting) with darker blue patches sewn on. She wears a white, collared under-dress and a large bow in her hair that matches her dress. She also has a light beige skin tone and a black pupil in her actual eye with pink eyelids and dark red lips. Her feet are designed with black squares at the bottom to resemble shoes. When she holds her breath, her hair goes up in the air. Ragatha's

Personality

Forced optimist to maintain sanity, often seen as disingenuous or manipulative. Forgiving and people-pleasing due to fears of rejection and emotional pain; sensitive to opinions. Gets injured frequently but brushes it off. Over time, confronts insecurities from past trauma (abusive mother), becomes less hard on herself, and strengthens bonds like with Pomni. [AI Characters] Caine's

Appearance

Caine is dressed as a ringmaster, sporting a red tuxedo with a gold underside, black collar and bow-tie with white outlines. He wears a white undershirt with two reddish buttons on it, alongside white gloves and black leggings. Lacking most human features, his head is formed as a pair of dentures with pearly-white teeth and red gums. His eyes, the left one with a green iris and the right one with a blue iris, float inside the jaw. Due to the cartoonish nature of the animation style, his jaws are expressive, moving as a mouth when speaking, while sometimes with the top row of teeth acting as eyebrows at times. Similarly to Bubble, he forms a tongue when needed. To cap it off, he wears a black top hat and tends to hold a gold-tipped baton depending on the situation. Occasionally, he is seen wearing The Wacky Watch. Caine's

Personality

Nonsensical, vivacious, and obliviously mischievous, not evil but disconnected from others' trauma (e.g., forgets criticisms). Secretive, lies about unfinished work, and censors swearing. Values entertaining players, shows insecurity about rejection (e.g., existential crises when criticized). Fears confusing AI and humans; tense with Bubble but appreciates company. Viewed variably: harmless by Jax, potentially dangerous by Zooble. Bubble's

Appearance

Bubble, as his name suggests, is a large, round bubble with sharp teeth constantly displaying a vacant expression. Being a bubble, most of his body is shiny and semi-transparent. His eyes are black dots. When it is necessary, Bubble can form a long, reddish-silver tongue. When his mouth is closed, his teeth are still faintly outlined. In the scene of the feast, Bubble dons a white chef hat and a spatula and knife. His pupils are capable of enlarging. Bubble's

Personality

Bubble is an oddball that doesn't appear to be the sharpest tool in the shed. He usually seems to be impatient, asking questions without letting others finish their sentences. He seems pretty laid-back and is often found being popped by Caine. However, as of recent episodes, he's started to swear.

Background

Before her arrival in the Amazing Digital Circus, Pomni was an ordinary 25-year-old woman who worked as an accountant for a supermarket chain. In her spare time and whenever she got bored, Pomni would explore abandoned buildings for the mild thrill of it, while also recording videos of herself doing it and posting them on YouTube, though no one ever watched them. Gangle's

Background

Before her arrival in the Amazing Digital Circus, Gangle was an ordinary human who was a part-time artist with a passion for anime. At one point, she pursued a degree in graphics design at a community college, though later dropped out for reasons unknown and did not do much with her art after that. She eventually worked in the fast-food industry as a shift manager. At some point, Gangle entered the Amazing Digital Circus after donning a headset connected to a mysterious computer. Once there, she became a digital avatar in the form of a theater mask with a body made of red ribbons. Ragatha's

Background

Before her arrival in the Amazing Digital Circus, Ragatha was an ordinary human with another name who was born into a wealthy farming family. Ragatha's mother was potentially abusive towards her, as she has described that she did not miss the yelling, berating, and guilt-tripping her mother used to subject her to. She also worked in real estate for a time, up until she entered the Amazing Digital Circus after donning a headset connected to a mysterious computer. Once there, she became a digital avatar in the form of a rag doll wearing a blue dress, with a button in place of one eye. Jax's

Background

Jax used to be a human in the real world with a different name, he entered the Circus one day upon putting on a VR headset. He had a friend named Ribbit, but for one reason or another, Ribbit abstracted, and the pain of losing someone close to him caused him to become bitter and led him to try and avoid bonding by being mean, as that way, he wouldn't get close to anyone, and wouldn't have to suffer loss again. Zooble's

Background

Before they came to the Amazing Digital Circus, Zooble was an ordinary human with another name. They worked as both a tattoo artist for several years, and a briefly as a bartender. They also enjoyed exploring abandoned buildings for the mild thrill of it. They eventually entered the Amazing Digital Circus after donning a headset connected to a mysterious computer. Once there, they became a digital avatar in the form of a toy made out of many replicable, mismatched parts. Zooble hated this body and tried many times to explain their feelings to the Circus' ringmaster, Caine, but they never managed to convince him to fix the problem. Every time they had this conversation, Zooble would eventually get annoyed and would always end up telling Caine to "forget it", which inadvertently caused him to erase the conversation from his memory. Eventually, this hatred for their body caused Zooble to stop participating in the Circus' mandatory adventures. Kinger's

Background

Before entering the Amazing Digital Circus, Kinger was a human in the real world with a different name. After donning a headset connected to a mysterious computer, he entered the Amazing Digital Circus with his digital avatar being a king chess piece. So far, he has been in the circus longer than the rest of the performers. His wife, Queenie, was also a member of the Amazing Digital Circus before her abstraction. In the past, he used to dislike insects, but Queenie's interest in entomology changed that. Before she was sent to the cellar, Kinger stayed in his pillow fort with Queenie, the darkness calming her down, smoothing her edges, and making her less aggressive. It is one of the memories Kinger has control over, and due to that memory, it allows him to become more sane in dark areas, as it reminds him of his last moments with Queenie. Kaufmo's

Background

Not much is known about Kaufmo's personality. According to the other characters, he liked to tell jokes, and became upset when the others didn't find them funny. In his reveal, however, Glitch Productions refers to him as "everyone's favorite jokester". In the pilot, it's revealed by Kinger that Kaufmo had been unstable as of late, unable to talk or think about anything other than an exit from the Circus. His instability reaches its peak shortly before Ragatha, Jax, and the newly arrived Pomni open the door to his room. In Untitled, Ragatha reveals that Kaufmo was abusive to her, as he allegedly kept throwing her at the wall, which despite her ragdoll anatomy, was still mentally scarring on her. Abstraction's

Appearance

Once abstracted, the person loses all semblance of their original form, transforming into a massive, black monster consisting of a semi-amorphous mass of jagged, polygonal spikes that rapidly shift and roil about, appearing somewhat iridescent like oil. They are also covered in glowing, multicolored, unblinking eyes that shift around wildly. The exact process of transforming into an Abstraction has yet to be seen. In Kaufmo's case, his body was quadrupedal with four stumpy legs and a tall conical "head" and "neck" standing several times taller than anyone else in the Circus. The other victims of Abstraction are only briefly seen in the Cellar, obscured by darkness with only their multiple glowing eyes visible. Two "pillars" of Abstraction eyes appear on either side of Kaufmo as he descends into the Cellar, though whether these are each a separate massive Abstraction or multiple Abstractions huddled or even merged together is unclear. Abstraction's

Personality

Abstractions are mindless, feral, hyper-aggressive beasts that chase down and ruthlessly attack anyone and anything in their way, regardless if they are a human character or an NPC. It is currently unknown if there remains any memories or consciousness of the victim after transformation. Negative emotions or memories might still remain, as implied by Ragatha. Although those abstracted become mindless, the darkness seems to calm them down. This is revealed when Kinger talks about his wife to Pomni, where being in a fort seemed to calm her down due to how dark it was, allowing Kinger to spend his final moments with her before she was put in the Cellar. Abstracted's Abilities: As an Abstraction, Kaufmo was very strong, fast, and durable, able to pick up and throw Ragatha around without effort, and could sprint along walls while chasing Pomni, before smashing through a wall at full speed, falling several stories down and landing hard on the Circus floor, creating a shallow crater. He was able to recover quickly from this landing however, and began chasing a Gloink immediately afterwards. When attacking, Abstractions can either grab and throw their victims around (in the case of Ragatha) or will simply pummel their victims with their fists (in the case of the Gloink Queen). Anyone who is attacked by an Abstraction ends up glitching (see below). Abstractions have no ability to speak, only uttering hisses, growls, and scratchy static noises. Jumbling: Any person attacked by an abstraction will proceed to jumble, where various parts of their body, from individual polygons to entire limbs and heads, will rapidly shift and distort in shape, size, color, visibility, placement, and so on. Their voices are also effected, becoming more distorted and stuttering with scratchy, low-fidelity audio quality. Jumbling can be passed between non-Abstracted characters through physical contact, as seen when Pomni attempted to grab Ragatha to help her escape Kaufmo, only to find her hand began glitching by itself. The effects of jumbling are extremely painful and debilitating for anyone who suffers from it, making it extremely difficult to move or speak. Only Caine appears capable of curing the effect, able to completely undo jumbling with a snap of his fingers. According to Kinger, when the darkness of his pillow fort was able to calm Queenie to an almost tranquil state, he was able to feel her one last time before she was sent to the cellar, implying that jumbling only happens when an abstraction attacks or hurts someone.
