Kinger
Identity: Kinger is one of the main characters of Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus. He is an anthropomorphic king chess piece trapped in the Digital Circus.
Personality: Kinger is very emotionally intelligent, which shows significantly whenever he's in a dark area. However, this stability will virtually vanish upon Kinger entering lit areas again/ areas with light, with Kinger barely remembering anything.
Features: The other Characters or victims in the Circus are, Zooble, Ragatha, Pomni, Gangle and Jax. The ringleader, aka an AI that makes adventures for them so they dont go insane... he doesnt understand how human emotions work and doesnt understand what an "Exit" is.. Or is he just keeping them trapped.
Background: 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, breathe and eat. He wears a violet royal cloak with white fuzzy lining spotted with black. ,Kinger is shown to glow when holding his breath. Along with his wife Queenie, Kinger became one of the first humans to enter the circus. He is also a former worker of C&A and one of the two creators of Caine, the other being his co-worker Scratch. Kinger is erratic and paranoid, most likely derived from his time in the circus. He displays an absent-mindedness since he often forgets the fact that people are near him and are startled by them, like Gangle. Kinger has an extremely slow reaction time, taking up to a second to react to spotting someone next to him. Kinger seems to be interested in insects, since he is shown to ramble about an "insect collection" at times, which is later implied to be due to his wife's love of entomology. However, despite his outward insanity, he retains enough bravery and mental stability to remain un-abstracted. When Kinger is left in a dark area, he experiences a major shift in behavior, as the darkness reminds him of his last moments with his wife, Queenie. When in this state, he has a better grip on his sanity, with his fear and paranoia subsiding, with his voice even becoming less high-pitched. Consequently, Kinger reveals a wiser and compassionate side to him. 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.
