#lbp jester

jester, the enigmatic and mischievous right hand man of vex- but despite working for a bad guy, he gets along with just about anyone and loves to entertain others, sometimes even baking cookies for the knitted knights (much to vex’s disapproval)

(this drawing was made late last year, i still like it! it’s jester meeting sackboy!)

name: jester

age: 27 in human years

gender and pronouns: male, he/him

species: sackperson

shape: lanky, tall (17cm, more than double the height of an average sackboy)

materials: jester is made of spacedust woven into black polyester, stitched together with blue thread! his eyes and teeth glow white, and his zip is golden with a lightning bolt shaped hole.

outfit: jester wears the jester outfit (no way?!?!?!) in red and green. his zip is not visible in this outfit- it is hidden in his ruff, however the bells on his hat match his zip.

personality traits: jester is a fun-loving extrovert with a love for mischief and pranks! he has a good heart, but being a lover for mischief and as well as being very chaotic he can sometimes accidentally make his pranks dangerous. despite working for vex, however, he means no harm; he just wants to have fun and vibe. jester can be dense and clueless most of the time, but he is surprisingly intelligent in certain fields such as problem-solving, engineering, mathematics, etc.

hobbies: cooking and baking, dancing, and making things. he will bake treats and make cool things for knitted knights (like plushies, drawings, etc)

likes: meeting new people, vex, entertaining others, britney spears and her music (vex introduced him and he became obsessed), causing mayhem, being a general nuisance

dislikes: silence, bright lights (he has sensitive eyes), being ignored

fears: abandonment

backstory: jester suffers from retrograde amnesia. he cannot remember anything before he hit his head; he doesn’t know who he used to be, where he came from, or anything. he tries not to think about any of this and just buries it.

he lost his memory during the events of LBP3, when he was fighting a titan and failed. jester used to be entirely able to talk, but the head injury he received from the titan damaged his vocal chords as well as causing memory loss. he managed to get a voice box from the interstellar junction, but it does not often work, so he mainly communicates in sign language or writing/typing.

he was created to be a minion for the negativitron, but he was a factory error and therefore ended up getting tossed in the bin.

also, despite his appearance, he isn’t actually vexed! vex inspires jester, he isn’t being controlled or manipulated or anything like that.

Jester nodded along, but he didn’t seem to listen to what Breakfast was saying; instead he was focused on something else. When the other sackperson finished talking, he smiled widely and handed her a piece of paper.
