Description This is my OC for the Secret Wars storyline. Don't worry. As a villain, he's darker than he looks.

What I was going for in this character is a person who appears completely innocent and upstanding, but who is actually cruel, manipulative, and possibly insane. He has that Robin Hood-esque get up with a jester mask, which can make him look like a hero or villian (depending on your perspective), but you don't have to take him seriously all the time. This makes it easier for him to slip in amongst heroes and villains alike.

Jester, AKA Alfred Clark, thinks of life as one big play, and everyone's a character with a part to play. His obession started as an obession with being the perfect actor, but this eventually progressed into a form of psychosis.

Ironically, Jester's become so good his craft that it's become impossible for anyone to tell his true emotions from the ones he fabricates. Not even he remembers his true personality anymore. To him, there is only the next act in the play, the next scene, and the next emotion that he must work to make his "audience" feel.

Generally, Jester believes that his sole purpose and reason for existence is to advance the plot of the play. He normally enters a group of people and studies their habits and faults, and then uses this to sow discord amongst the people, and then stands by and observes the resulting conflict, using what he observes to improve the realism of his own acting.

I think this guy will definitely add some spice to the Secret Wars Storyline, if he doesn't get himself killed too early on...

That's for sure! They're going to do some serious damage in the Secret Wars!

And everyone is fair game. And that's how Jester likes it!

Interesting, another mindfucking manipulator! Though him and Steero seems to have quite different view on why to do it.

And fashion sense

Very VERY different fashion sense.

Looking foreward to seeing you in the war!

TBPow In reply to zephrania [2009-07-27 20:27:14 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I can't wait to start!

Jester's reasons for manipulating are simple. That's very dangerous, because beyond his own goals, he doesn't care how much damage he causes...

And as far as fashion sense, his style can change as often as his personality. You don't expect someone like him to believe in keeping one look.

I've been looking at the character bios, but I haven't had the chance to read up on Steero. With more than one manipulator in the mix, it looks like there could be some type of rivalry or battle in the future...

zephrania In reply to TBPow [2009-07-28 09:06:33 +0000 UTC]

Indeed. Driven people are dangerous. Very dangerous.

Haha, that'll be fun to play with. I suppose he can also makeup and hairstyle and the like to look like one of the others? I can imagine that'd come in handy often.

Hah. Maybe, but Steero tries not to battle the other villains. Because they can't defeat an entire alliance of heroes in one-man fights.

TBPow In reply to zephrania [2009-07-30 19:35:18 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, you can expect Jester to study the movements and personality of other characters so that he can imitate them later on. Good or bad, the more interesting the personality, the most likely it is for him to copy it.

Jester fights only when he feels that it's necessary. He would much rather turn other people against each other.

It's hard to pin down a person's motives when they can change their personality so easily.

TBPow In reply to Bug-Off [2009-07-26 19:22:32 +0000 UTC]

Exactly, that's why Jester is such an interesting character to work with. No one will expect his true motives to be so simple. Plus there's the fact that he could achieve his goals in both the good and bad guys groups...

Yeah, they find a way to work both sides of the field, and trick other people into accomplishing their goals for them.

TBPow In reply to Bug-Off [2009-07-27 20:28:11 +0000 UTC]

You're right. I'll have to study the other characters, and find weaknesses and faults that Jester can use.

Yeah, and Jester enjoying tearing away the nice and kind side of people. He believes that deep down, everyone is cold and ruthless, and he finds that one button that unleashes it. It's why I have to be careful in what I have him do in Secret Wars, while he's surrounded by super-powered beings with short fuses.

Yeah, definitely. But I'll make sure that he's careful who he messes with. I wouldn't want his Secret Wars storyline to end too soon (especially after all the effort I put into making that ref sheet!)...

If you check out Kostmeyer's profile, you can read the various comics that other people have come up with involving their characters. Jester won't be entering the storyline until mid-August!
