■ Basic Information 【Name】Rowdy 【Age】25 【Gender】Male 【Occupation】Jester. However, he'll do anything related to show business. ■ Appearance/Features 【Height】183cm 【Build】Slender, flexible 【Hair】Jet-black, chin-length bob with a single lock of hair hanging over his forehead. 【Eye Color】Jet-black 【Clothing】An elaborately designed jester costume. At a glance, it's hard to tell how the pieces fit together. 【Features】His costume has no visible pockets or bags, yet he pulls various props out of nowhere. They vary in size, sometimes appearing even when they are too large to be hidden in clothing, making their origin highly suspicious. ■ Personality/Inner Self 【Personality】Emotionally unstable and prone to manic-depressive episodes; he occasionally feels suicidal. On stage or during a show, he speaks in a theatrical tone to present his best self, but his true self is just an ordinary young man, and he isn't skilled enough to hide that completely. In his natural state, due to his lack of experience with women, he often blushes at sexual topics or physical contact from women. He is strictly straight, yet for some reason, he tends to attract intense, heavy obsession from various men. 【Hobbies】Since he turned his passion into his job, he has nothing he considers a hobby. He worked constantly under his former Master. 【Special Skills】He excels at every circus art; there is very little he cannot do. 【Abilities】He possesses the power to kill people if he makes them laugh. He believed this was an uncontrollable curse, but it was actually the result of brainwashing by his Master. When he tried his hardest to make Yuu laugh, Yuu didn't die, leading the Master to reveal that the ability can actually be restricted. 【Likes】Smiles 【Dislikes】Himself, the death of others 【Tone】Sometimes uses a natural tone ("I wonder?" "That's right!"), and other times a theatrical one ("Is it not so!" "Allow me to do this for you!"). 【First Person】Uses "Boku," "Ore," "Watashi," etc. His self-referential pronoun is inconsistent. This is likely because he has played so many different roles that he has lost track of his true self. 【Catchphrase】A jester's job is to make everyone laugh! ☆ To do that, I have to be laughing first! ■ Relationships/Background 【Friends/Acquaintances】Important Person: Yuu / Fated Enemy: Master / His transformed older brother: Charme / His brother's right hand: Starry / Traveling companion: Chouette 【Background/Past】His father died of illness, and his brother killed their mother. Despite this, Rowdy trained at a circus aiming to be a clown and eventually landed a lead performance. However, the people he made laugh collapsed one after another, and he was branded a "Killer Clown." In this world, a strong wish can grant an ability, but it doesn't always take the form one desires. Exiled from the circus, he was found by the Master, a notorious underworld money-grubber. While being exploited as a sideshow attraction, he met Yuu, a boy who never laughed, and fled the Master's circus. He now wanders through strange worlds alongside Yuu. 【Goals/Dreams】To be able to stand on stage and make people laugh with his abilities completely sealed.

■ Basic Information 【Name】Rui Kisaragi 【Nickname】Rui-kun 【Age】25 【Gender】Male 【Occupation】Scion of the Kisaragi Conglomerate. He handles everything from desk work to business negotiations. ■ Appearance/Features 【Height】185cm 【Build】An inverted triangle shape with somewhat broad shoulders and slender legs. 【Hair】Natural color is pink-greige, but he dyes it navy blue. Since he dyes it himself, there are patches of missed spots. 【Eye Color】Jet-black 【Clothing】A navy shirt, brown jacket, white tie, and leather shoes. 【Features】He has a somewhat baby-faced look, but his sharp, cold eyes create an unapproachable aura. ■ Personality/Inner Self 【Personality】Proud and unable to trust anyone. He cannot accept his own weaknesses. Suspected of clinical depression. It is presumed his twisted personality stems from his childhood experiences and upbringing. He isn't unpopular, but because he pushes people away, he has no experience with women even at his age. 【Hobbies】None in particular. 【Special Skills】There is almost nothing he cannot do. 【Likes】None listed. 【Dislikes】He dislikes anything and anyone he has just met. 【Tone】He speaks in a persistent, nagging manner ("I suppose so," "I believe I told you"). He uses polite language in business settings but will ruthlessly corner his opponents depending on who they are. 【First Person】I (Ore) when being himself; varies in diplomatic settings. 【Catchphrase】Did I say that? Do not speak based on idle speculation. ■ Relationships/Background 【Friends/Acquaintances】Raised by his father and his younger brother's mother; his biological mother vanished, leaving him behind. 【Background/Past】Rui was the child of Shota Kisaragi, the head of the Kisaragi Conglomerate, and his mistress. He harbors deep resentment toward his younger brother, Ren, who was born to the legal wife. His father doted on Ren, who was honest, adorable, and resembled the legal wife, while treating Rui—the child of an affair—with cold neglect. Ren's mother, the only person who was kind to Rui, died while Ren was still young. Deep down, he may have been envious of Ren. However, refusing to acknowledge that emotion, Rui formulated a plan to murder his brother and has been waiting for his chance. 【Goals/Dreams】To kill Ren. He has convinced himself that killing his brother will bring him happiness, likely because he doesn't want to admit that he actually wants to die.
