Description So, last time I drew this character, his story was a bit. . . out there. So, I'm fixing that mistake, as well as creating what I consider a really cool drawing in general. It's not the most action-filled pose, but I'm still quite happy with how it turned out!

To recap! I actually like clowns, as my entire family, (including myself) have done routines, and I wanted to give a nod to all the talented folks who try and do this for a living. It's certainly not easy, and I have a healthy respect for them.
Anyway. You didn't come here to hear about that, yeah? You came here to see what crazy idea Phangorn came up with now. I'd rather not share too much, though, as Kelly's story is part of a larger storyline I don't wish to reveal yet. Just know that he's an occupational smuggler, and you'll probably get the right idea. Yes, being a clown is his cover. But it is also something he likes to do. Why? He's a thoughtful sap, and he loves to see people smile. It's rare, especially in his line of work. (Also, have you SEEN how much a clown can hide in his or her sleeves? Of course he's a secretly a smuggler! XD)

As for appearance, the danger and stress in his job have turned his hair grey years before it should have been, and he keeps it about as unkept as his clothing. He doesn't shave much either, giving him those distinct sideburns on the sides of his face. In addition, his skin has faded to a far more pale shade than it used to be. The only bright colors in his tramp-themed outfit would be the red of his clown nose and shoes, and also the fresh green of the celery pinned to his lapel. Because he IS a man who can pull off a decorative vegetable!

Skills include: contortion, lock-picking, disguises, making balloon animals, juggling, origami, sharpshooting, mime, martial arts, dancing, and freerunning.  

There's more to be revealed in time, and a certain AU version on the way, but I think that's all I'll say in this upload. Hope you enjoy it!

Ups and downs, as always. But right now things are on the upswing, and I've got my hope and determination going strong!

He's the clown that saved children from the Nazis, right?

Just sat with the story, it was a good tale of a broken man saving broken children from the Nazi's

I just think it could be better, is all. I haven't given many details about this version, but I think it's a big improvement. I wanted to do something since the reactions to my last version of the story were. . . mixed. I've heard some people say they like it, and others describe it as an utter train wreck. You can't please everybody, it's true, but I thought that perhaps I can do better. I might merge the two stories in the future or rewrite again, but for now I believe this one will do.

Very well, I like the time period, perhaps he is there for a different purpose?

Anything involving the history of WWII and the Cold War interests me.

Same! But I have a few other characters from that era that might pull it off with a story that makes more sense, I think. I'll try to introduce them to you soon!
