The haunted Jester (a.k.a. Ego)

Haunted Jester by Tyler Berthoff

There are whispers uttered by the phantoms of thought that say his name threw out the dimensional dreamscape that is Oculus. The landscape itself molds around him, changing its form as he passes through layers of dream and nightmare alike. A haunted Jester wonders threw the endless tendrils and planes that make up Oculus. The Jester's true identity is only known to himself, though not much of his identity is really known to him in the first place. A laughing sorrow manifests itself through the darkness that surrounds it. Skipping through dreams and jumping threw nightmares, The Jester contemplates both the light and dark aspects of this world and the many other waves that reveal themselves to him. There also appears to be a certain aura that emanates from The Jesters form. This strange aura can create feelings of great shame to those that gaze upon him for too long of a period of time. Guilt can be such a powerful energy in Oculus or any other world for that matter, so the natural question of why this mysterious Jester would give off such an aura is anyone's guess. Moreover, why would so many be drawn to such a being, even as they pursue their most idolizing dreams of grandeur and fulfillment? I wonder then if it is The Haunted Jester that is haunted by us, or rather is it The Haunted Jester that haunts our hearts and minds instead? What secrets sit inside the closets of your heart, dear reader? The Haunted Jester surely can't be the only being in Oculus that is plagued with the silent muss called guilt.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Though sightings can vary in truth, the most common form witnessed of The Haunted Jester is that of a tall, lanky figure carrying a shovel by his side. The Jester is strangely dressed, with bizarre markings adorning the opposing sides of his elaborate garments. One side is black and white, while the other is white and black, divided and conflicted in every way. The fabric is at times of the highest qualities, yet simultaneously filled with holes that leak a strange, black liquid that trails where ever The Jester wonders too. The Haunted Jester has also been known to carry a large shovel with him in some waves and perspectives. This shovel is massive, almost comical in its size, yet The Haunted Jester carries this shovel about as if it only weighed as much as a feather. Other waves have seen this strange Jester dragging this huge shovel behind him as if the weight of a thousand worlds were beset upon his slender shoulders. Sometimes a small amount of soil can be seen embedded at the end of The Jesters shovel. This soil has a voice of its own at times, though words are rarely heard from the edge of this shovel. It is screaming and moaning that cries out from The Jesters shovel, leaving all who hear it with a sense of anguish and sadness that cannot be measured in mere words or trains of thought. Do you feel the anguish of what The Haunted Jester has done? Some do more than others, though I think after encountering this Jester you will soon realize that he is not as different from us as we would like him to be.

Identifying Characteristics

Within most waves, there is typically a number etched into the mask of The Haunted Jester itself. In this wave, the number nine sits upon his forehead. Why nine I wonder?

Mental characteristics

Personal history

The circumstances of The Jester's existence are almost impossible to pinpoint, though if someone desires to know him enough they may catch a glimpse of his true nature, maybe even more if you're lucky. Yet one has to ask themselves why they would want to know of such a being. The name itself " The Haunted Jester" is cautionary in the very nature of the name, which is a dimension of dream and mare this being maybe should be treated with a certain circumspection of character. It's strange that despite the many bridges and possibilities that connect this world to so many others that, of all beings, this Jester should preoccupy your mind. Its as if The Haunted Jester is somehow manifesting himself in the minds and hearts of more then just a few souls within the currents of want. Though The Jester tries to hide from those that would gaze upon him, he is always found sooner or later. Quite often an unassuming soul will stumble upon him, harkening an awkward silence that is often followed by a strange laugh from The Haunted Jesters mouth that seems so sad. Could it be that The Haunted Jester form is in and of itself a veil to hide what truly lurks underneath his garbs? What secrets do you hide from the world, oh fellow Jester from the mare?

Mental Trauma

Something troubles The Haunted Jester, something deeper than any ocean blue. Emotions of anguish and torment envelope The Jesters heart, though what also may haunt him are the eyes that may discern his true form, both the eyes of something greater and the eyes of readers like you. Wonder back and forth in front of the door you fear, bury all of your vices little Jester, less someone pay attention and hear. Divided being, wavering with the powers of deception and choice. Darkness follows your heart, robbing you of your true voice.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

The motivations that drive The Haunted Jesters heart seem to drive from a desire to not be exposed to who or what he truly is. Within some waves, The Jester has been spotted shoveling psychic energy in front of a peculiar door with a strange S symbol adorning its black frame. Know matter how much psychic energy is placed to cover the strange door that he seems to be afraid of, the door also remains partially revealed for all to see. What are you hiding in the shadows of your heart, oh Haunted Jester of the night?
