Bio:

Hundreds of years ago in a Renaissance kingdom, there was once a pleasantly plump fool “Gwynplaine”. Being the kings favorite fool that loves to entertain, mock and joke around the tyrannical ruler. With the kings' favorite and cruel tricks from the jester is to eat...people whole. Loving to see his court jester all fatten up by stuffing the jester's face with Kings enemies, prisoners of the dungeon etc. To even the King's court if those who disagree with him. Making Gwyn both the fool and the executioner at the same time! Even if some feared him for Gwynplaine's trick, at the end of the day, the jester just wants to make people laugh then feared even with his eating people trick. Having his only friend being a royal baker that made jester happy just by being there and always found him good company even with the fool's reputation. Jester loved his baker companion cuz he could snap back with wit to match his. Even the baker offering bread to the feastful food for his fools' stomach to have a break of laugher as making each other happy. Until one day Gwynplaine was command and forced by the mad King to consume those the Jester loved the baker. All because baker's shortages caused leaving him without ingredients for the kin's favorite breads to be punished. Yet the fool has other prey on his mind to save the baker lover. One by one in revenge, the jester eaten whole the King's Queen, his heir's and then the whole king himself to be become one with consumption as freeing the baker. Which lead to the execution of Gwynplaine, and buried deep within the kings' former castle as the king's empire was lost to time. Now this outfit is on full display by collector of medical artifacts with the king's empire dead and gone .


We cut to many centuries later, as we get introduced to Alaric Casimir. A minimum wage hardworking plumper lion. A plump big leo with good moral values and wanting to help the best he can. While at the same time, is bored of his day job and wanting to be an entertainer. Reasons why he likes to make jokes and quips that come called him “the lion who laughs” while working on leaks to porcelain thrones for the perfect royal flush. One day he was called in to fix a clogged toilet by the collector. With the "no nonsense" look of the collector brushed off Al's humor, even if Alaric was trying to make him smile. While working, Alaric finds Gwynplaine's jester outfit mounted in one wall that spoke to the wisecracking Lion. Both having common ground in both misunderstood jokesters in wanting to bring happiness and the joy of justice into this harsh world. After the job was done, Alaric "borrowed" Gwynplains jester outfit from the stuck-up collector that didn't bother the check as he disregards the outfit as just "rags" . As trying on the Jester suit, Alaric and Gwynplain both bonded becoming the “King of Fools”. A hefty hero powers gifted by the hungry jester to entertain and bring criminals to justice...and an excuse to eat the wicked people again that the predatory jester still gets a kick, and Alaric too!


(Pudge puppets)

If you get eaten by him and swallowed by his main mouth or belly maw, you end up in what feels like a bounce house that's squeezing from all sides. Inside it, you slowly sink between the compressed stomach fat folds. If that happens, he claimed you. Slowing absorbed into it, digesting and melting you like molten cheese. Only to become part of Kings body fat. If that happens, the King of Fools can use you in different ways. Make puppets out of you, using your voice, or if his belly maw is closed, he could have it look like they're pressing out from within trying to escape. If he's eaten two people at once they can watch one sink between the folds and get sucked in. Then they gotten worried it's going to happen to them as the fat take over their minds. Only of the person is fully digested, the King could make into “fat puppets” of his prey trying to escape, but there just fat that the King of fools can control or manipulate if he’s belly maw is closed. Or uses his belly maw imitate voices from the souls he absorbed. Like showing him off that is ate eating someone, and the “pudge sentient fat puppets” are designed like "muppets" from his past prey he ate. Yet less morphing, more he can make puppets of them that act just like them if he ate them. Even sound and say things he shouldn't know. The more now he has access to them, and he could just create a puppet. Either hammerspace behind his back it can just appear. From that puppet of someone he ate, using it to talk to them about how much they'll like being eaten. As the “pudge sentient fat puppets” could look like with the belly maw closed. With his massive belly looming over the viewer like a “stage” while his pudge puppet danced for him . In other words, he could access them and make them into a fat puppet on his body he could make to appear and control. Like they love to be belly fat (but the real souls want to escape, but are silenced deep within the fat folds)


Personality/ King of Fools.

Even if he's timorously bonkers and loving to entertain criminals. As consuming them whole as the ultimate punchline but still having a chaotic sense of mortality. Such as giving lackies and newbie crooks a chance to let them go if they don't become a threat and can surrender peacefully. But still like a meat-eating beast, this lion loves to gobble up crooks like a ferocious carnivore is he is. However, it was what really showed the jester/Gwynplaine has a faint sense of duty and his own said morality. In a brief time, he had between eating the king and his execution, the soul of the jester began searching for a way to reform people he ate or how to safely hold them for long periods of time. Only saved for the truly innocent that did nothing truly evil. And influence from Alaric's good will having some practice with keeping people alive and being more creative with the magic to do that himself. Whatever artifact the jester left behind that turned Alaric into King of Fools let him feel what he was able to do now but also get creative with it. Pushing some of the hungry personality into his but it's still him, and he understands what he can do now and learns more of what to do with it. In other words, a playful kitten, in a hungry lions body.
