We don't need to think of our character now or decide which game we want till we win, correct?

Does it really matter what character we think up or what actions we take? It's all decided randomly anyway?

"chat needs to be set public"
You mean PM?

In every reality a Radaggarb exists boasting a variety of exceptional powers: The Unclean. The Pirate Captain. The Space Marine. The Wizard. The Orthodontist.

As the walls of reality buckle, and a new portal opens, who then will come forth to challenge the title of the universe's finest clown?

BEHOLD!

*Radaggarb the White-Collar Worker steps forth*

Appearing seemingly an unexceptional human, like his brethren he has in fact a number of strange powers.

Crowd Camouflage
Being able to stand in a room of people and not be noticed, even whilst sporting a red nose & makeup, clown shoes and constantly twisting increasingly complex (and squeaky) balloon animals is a mighty feat indeed. For when the massacre of clowns begins, he would be the one left standing, hidden in plain sight.

Boring Conversationalist
Known to be rather withdrawn and quiet, his conversational topics are so boring and his voice so dull and droning that he is known to cause confusion and at worse drive those listening to him to self-harm and eventually commit suicide to escape his voice.

No-Fuss Workhorse
His work ethic is potentially his greatest skill, however. Radaggarb the White-Collar Worker can perform a huge number of complex tasks with great prowess yet again not call attention to himself in doing so, ultimately resulting in never gaining praise from superiors nor being ever getting promoted. The tasks just seemingly get "done" and no-one knows precisely how.

Office Olympian
Years of throwing paper balls into waste-paper baskets, folding and throwing paper airplanes, and being a professional speed-typist has given Radaggarb wondrous finger dexterity and hand-eye coordination. Who needs luck when you're that good at doing "nothing"?

Lei Tsan is a Taiwanese teenager living in Tainan. He comes from a long dynasty of famous chou (clowns in the traditional Taiwanese opera). His father is a famous chou, as were his grandfather and his great grandfather. But it might well be the end of the line, for, you see, Lei Tsan can neither speak, nor sing. He is mute.

Your chat is already set to public. You need to create a character before it starts but pick a game after it finishes.

Doc, in counting the entrants, you've written number 13 twice. It may be by design (and not by mistake), but may cause you confusion when the giveaway starts!
Thank you Doc0075 for this giveaway and the opportunity to be creative!

My character's name is Ilyas. He's over 40 and has a problem with drinking. He used to be a streamer, video blogger, and standup comedian and was very popular on the internet because of his unique sens of humor.
However, his real life was very sad. Ilyas has always been lonely and used alcohol to drown his pain. Eventually, drinking became a regular part of his life. It had a big impact on his health and career. Eventually, people stopped recognizing him, causing his popularity on the internet to drop rapidly.

One night, Ilyas stumbled down the street after drinking heavily. He was very drunk and didn't realize someone attacked him from behind...
...When Ilyas woke up, he realized he was in an unknown location. A tall, sturdy man wearing a coat and cylinder hat sat next to him and introduced himself as Doc Ratling, the ringmaster of "Doc's Intergalactic Circus". Doc informed Ilyas that he found him unconscious on the ground and took him to safety. During his chat with Doc, Ilyas talked about his whole life, including his job, achievements, setbacks, and personal challenges. Doc was touched by Ilyas' story and proposed him a new beginning as a circus worker.
Ilyas hesitated for a moment, but then accepted the offer!

So by "chat" you mean PM?

Thank you for the creative givaway Doc.
Please add to the list:
Bonzoo - Evil mastermind

Bonzoo is honest, hard working an hard thinking evildoer. Unfortunately for him but fortunately for all other living beings his mischiefs fail rather spectacularly casing little to no harm, but a lot of laughter.

Due to intergalactic prisons overcrowding and bad quality of intergalactic entertainment feeds, it has been decided to return him to the society as a clown.

Rather than come in terms with reality, Bonzoo still tries live up to his nickname much to the delight of all the spectators

The purpose is to take part, be part of the community and enjoy the humour and Christmas festivities, not just turn up just for a free game...

Name: "Is A Villager", or "Is" for short.

Is started out living life on modern Earth, was a boring individual who lived a boring life so boring Is has forgotten most of it including original name.

One day walking home a truck on a road up a embankment from Is, got into a accident and a large quantity of squeaky toys, especially rubber duckies, clown noses that squeak, and squeaking rubber chickens, tumbled out of the back of the truck and landed on Is.

Now Is would have just barely survived this squeaky toy avalanche but it happens that a lighting bolt startled a bird and a single feather dropped on the pile of squeeky toys, killing Is.

This lighting bolt was caused by a god by accident. Is had died before Is's time and the god was extremely apologetic. Introduced as the god of jokstering and lighting bolts, Jokster offered to reincarnate Is into another world with a special boost of Is's choice. Is thought about this for awhile and figured didn't want to die of bad luck again thus wished for extremely good luck, as high a luck as possible. Jokster granted this wish as well as granting Is extra strength, dexterity, and magic potential.

Is appeared in a village in another world. Since Is had not picked out a new name, Jokster picked one out for Is, Is A Villager. Since it came from a God Is decided not to question it.

Now Is does have great dexterity, sort of, but also has bad coordination. This has resulted in both amazing feats of dexterity and clumsy drops etc. while doing the most basic tasks.

Is has great strength, but finds it difficult to control putting too little or much strength into any particular task. Many a door has broken or been a long time obstacle for Is because of this.

Is has great magic potential. But no one around Is knows magic. There are no magic books Is has access to. Is has no idea how to use magic and only sometimes casts spells by accident.

Is was granted great luck. But that luck only seems to apply if the results will make people around Is laugh. Is xirself is not amused by this.

Is still lives a boring life in a simple village, just now occasionally punctured by amazing extremely unlikely hilarious events.

Some news of a (inter-dimensional) clown school has arrived and other villagers not named "Villager" are suggesting to Is to enroll, to lean into Is's strength.

It matters for having "fun" with it. Go outrageous, work on a backstory, turn your throwaway character into a full-fledged dynasty with a story-arc spanning decades and dozens of threads.

Also, your creativity should help spark Doc's creativity in writing up the outcome of the various challenges, which will probably directly affect how your fellow clowns will rate your performance.
An interesting combination of themes for a Christmas giveaway! I especially like that it's not really a competition of fighting this time, so we can get inventive with our stories unrelated to our fighting prowess!

I'd like to enter for consideration a Ms. Kessel Rhun. Kessel worked as a technician optimising star chart routes for freighters handling the intergalactic supply of rock solid metal cuboids, but since childhood she had always had a passion for cartwheels. Her unique anatomy made it so that she could easily and perpetually rotate forward and spin and do the most beautifully angelic cartwheels any being had ever seen. When she saw the notice for applications to the Intergalactic Clown School, she knew she had to throw her wig in the ring.
