Finally, I've been waiting for this the whole year, thanks as always Doc!!!!

My character is Johnny The Conflict Avoider.

Jhonny is a guy who is afraid of living, always trying to make other people happy and to avoid any trouble possible, never discuss or have been in a fight, always agree with his wife, even on things he doesn't agree, when he have to give his opinion is the most positive one possible to agree with others. Always was a funny guy, because like in any group, nobody hates or confront the funny guy. The Intergalactic Clown School sound like a perfect opportunity to improve his skills and Jhonny will take part as long no one objects.

My character is Balaurul Bondoc.
He is a dinosaur looking to get into the spotlight.

He can't really fly, but can flap his wings really hard.
He is not decided about his diet and oscillates between being carnivorous, herbivorous or omnivorous.
This will impact his future interactions with his fellow clown wannabes.
He is not very tall so he tries to compensate that by puffing up his feathers.

Thank you. Please welcome to the clown school, the NSFW volatile Riis Rock showman! Testy, looney, caffeine overdosed former glassmith artist and retired truck driver, totally determined to discombobulate you with his unbalanced act. No children allowed, no slaps. And never ask about his wild afro pink hair.

This entrant to Doc's Intergalactic Clown School is Mirror Miss, a female superhero from the Maima colony in the 31st Century. She arrived at the school quite suddenly a few months ago. Her last memories were of a large confrontation with the Darkness Demon and suddenly being warped away. She has taken to it quite quickly though and makes good use of her ability to warp and shape her own and the images of those around her. These illusions, in the manner of fun house mirrors, are often humorous but can take on unearthly and haunting properties if done poorly. She spends most of class time studying the use of her powers and often thinks of the fun she used to have with it while playing with her brother.

I really like how your guy is essentially a random villager. I could have encountered him 1000 times over by now from playing different games and wouldn't know it.

"Nobody wants to work anymore!" - some overlord, somewhere down below.

The global inflation crisis along with its partner in crime, labour shortage, have finally dug their grubby claws deep down into the Abyss. Even Hell had not been spared from this, uh, hell. The cost of tormenting human souls has skyrocketed and the best of the best of demons trained in the art of torture are now quitting in droves. Cornelius is one of them. While his supreme overlord boss is scrambling to recruit new "agony ambassadors", Cornelius is just fed up of picking up the slack.

"These battered human souls wailing in pain and complaining about having it rough," Cornelius would often mutter to himself. "But what about me? Do I really want to work as a soul tormentor for all eternity?" Cornelius handed his resignation and at the dawn of Halloween, he left the Eternal Fire behind him and crawled his way to the surface of the Earth in search of new adventures among the living.

It wasn't long before an opportunity caught his eye: it was a poster challenging the world to join Doc's Intergalactic Clown School. Cornelius's face immediately lit up with thrilling excitement, his smile pulled back so wide that his rear teeth almost grated his horns. Back at his old job, he'd often been scolded to stop "clowning around" whenever he'd attempt to make his human souls scream or whimper in such a manner as to create a melody of pain and then turn to his fellow demon colleagues and joke, "Can you name that tune?"

So, perhaps all of this "clowning around" was a sign? Maybe joining this clown school challenge is his destiny! Cornelius was eager to sign up for this grand event and quickly headed for the address that was printed on that invitation poster.

Along his way, he inadvertantly murdered an unsuspecting soul. Having spent a quarter of eternity physically tormenting humans in Hell, he had simply forgotten that above ground, damage to the living was often very, very permanent. It was an innocent mistake on his part. He simply needed some blood to paint his lips and give his dead white face a blood red clown nose. He was keen to make a great first impression at this event.

There were more victims along his commute, but all remained alive, if not somewhat naked. Cornelius needed to create a clown costume on the go and he did so using bits of clothing ripped from innocent bystanders. Because Cornelius sees the world in red, he is in a sense colour blind and the chaotic colour palette of his patched clown outfit definitely reflected this fact.

Upon arriving at his destiny, for some inexplicable reason, Cornelius self-consciously hid his hoofed hands in his pockets, wanting to keep his devil identity under wraps, for fear of getting rejected at the Intergalactic Clown School. Did he not realize that his large demon horns were a dead giveaway?

Him-Self is clown. A natural. And how is he so good at it? Well, just by being himself.

Born with a clown-like face, soon people realised he was destined to be a living joke. But guess what? The joke was on them! Whoever crosses path with Him-Self gets their life upside down. The devious smile, the bad jokes, the way he constantly startle them with his tricks make their world a jokingly nightmare.
After all, what is life if not a really bad joke? So rejoice people, and put a smile on your faces! Him-Self is here to make a clown out of all of you!

Thank you once again Do0075 for hosting this giveaway.

Thank you so much for the giveaway Doc!

My character's name is Quentin Verbose. He is an eccentric film critic with a penchant for verbal duels. Quentin's strength lies in his unparalleled mastery of language. Armed with a quick wit and an extensive vocabulary, he can craft critiques that cut like a razor blade through butter, using his words as weapons against his opponents. He can turn even the most ordinary films into epic showdowns of rhetoric, and his verbal prowess often leaves his adversaries bewildered and disarmed.

However, Quentin has a unique weakness – silence. When his opponents choose not to engage in the verbal sparring match and instead greet his taunts with quiet indifference, he becomes immobilized. He thrives on the exchange of words and the challenge of a good argument. The silence leaves him feeling lost and powerless, unable to unleash his linguistic talents. It's a chink in his armor that his opponents may exploit to gain an upper hand in their battles.

Thank you so much for this giveaway, Doc0075!

The character I would like to present to be accepted into clown school is "¡El Ingenioso Don Sombrero Tenebroso!"

Ahmad Burungal was a young Spanish model until one day he decided to buy a hat. He entered a small shop in Granada, a place he has never seen before in a very narrow and dark street. The shop were full of different hats and caps but one of them, a very tall and very high black topper, catched his eyes. It was impressive and so beautiful, and it was so so dark like nothing he had never saw before. "May I try this hat?", he cried, as he cannot see anybody in the shop. "Of course, my good sir", said a voice coming from the back room. But when he tried the topper, it was too big and fell down until it hit the tip of his nose. He was upset, and decided to go on looking for another hat and so, he tried to removed the hat, but he coudn't! He then listened an evil laugh! Scared, he ran through the shop, crashing with everything because he was unable to see anything!

Several months later, and after being trained in a buddhist temple in Andalucía, el Ingenioso Don Sombrero Tenebroso has developed amazing powers, such as:
- Superior smell, spectacular echolocation and astonishing proprioception! He doesn't need his eyes or his ears to keep his balance!
- No sense of fashion or of embarrassment. Life is ridiculuos! You need to embrace it as it is.

Nevertheless, he still has some weaknesses:
-He is just a normal man!
-He is completely blind, and he cannot listened to anything unless it's very loud.

I've always wanted to take part in one of these, and the theme is so inviting, but I have barely time to eat and sleep these days, so with a sigh of disappointment not in.
But still, thanks, @Doc0075 for throwing such a party.

Now to see if I manage a little time to read along.

Good luck, everyone, and have lots and lots of fun and laughter.

You can name your character "Enigma"! And, according to his name, have no background at all!!

:D take my upvote!

All you have to do is create a character (some have been very brief with their descriptions) and I and the dice handle pretty much everything else.

Sweety Pastey is a retired gymnast who won four gold medals and two silver medals at the Summer Olympic Games. She retired at early age due to injury.
After retiring she has battled with gambling addiction and alcoholism, which is why she sold all her medals and was homeless.
For a few years she cycled in and out of rehab for addiction. She was sentenced to 36 months in state prison, where she spent 12 months serving time before being paroled. She was arrested two more times within eight months before being sent to rehab for six months. This period of her life was what she calls her “rock bottom,” when she reached her lowest point of addiction and lost everything. It was then that she decided it was time for recovery.
Now she wants to fulfill her childhood dream and become a clown, the best chance for it is Doc's Intergalactic Clown School.

As a former professional gymnast, she has good balance and control within her body.
Her biggest weakness is vodka, she loses her mind when she smells it.



Thank you very much for the giveaway Doc!

I don't know why I had the urge to keep my personal ramblings separate from my character creation post above. :P

Chiming in to say thank you so much, Doc, for keeping this tradition of yours alive! And also for giving it a fresh creative twist every year. :) I'm always amazed at how you manage to pull the community together and bring excitement to GOG's forums.

Often, I look more forward to your Xmas thing than what's on offer in real life. And that's the honest truth. xD
