    this will be a short piece, primarily an introduction to the character/world but also as a way for me to get a grip of how things are there, centered around mr. smiles, a not all human clown with a love for human flesh. this story will contain some more graphic scenes of death and cannibalism, because of this i won't be posting it here and this thread will be for notes alone, centered around smiles, his world and those who fill it




    i plan on having this ready to go and posted on [i]halloween my time, if things go smoothly and i can get it finished in time it will go up on my tumblr on the planned day, for now enjoy the weird notes for my weirder clown

    a name holds power in the world that this clown calls home and many have two, a true name only they know of and give out only to those they deem worthy for those who know it can control this other, and the one they choose. smiles is one of the few that began with neither, his first years spend wandering, a nameless entity stealing just to survive, many simply calling him [b]mutt    , yet he liked having a name all the same, something that belonged to him




    until he came to find the circus he was known by this name but never quite realized that it was spoken with spite and hate, this knowledge only given to him by bree, a contortionist and one of the few friends he has ever had. it was she who gave him a new name, a simple one true but better than mutt, and that was chuckles. the name never quite stuck and the others who worked at the circus merely called him clown, that is, until he gained a proper, and his current, name




    never has he been able to speak properly and so he used his body and props in any way he could to make the child laugh but he never bothered with a grease paint smile, it was impersonal and fake, something he hated very much, and instead gifted the children with genunine grins filled with laughter and good cheer. as time passed the children began to call him smiles, a name they spoke with happiness and laughter instead of hatred, and it came to stick
