Presto Jesto

Emperor Lord Presto J. Jesto (a.k.a. The one god, better than all of the rest.)

Hello, How do you do?
You want to know who I am? Oh how delightfully devilish! Okay, I will give you what you ask. I am Presto Jesto, the greatest of all! I could not simply bare to have someone else write about me, that is not something that will do at all for me. I am a man of fine art, destruction and fun, and anyone else writing about me would simply not do. So, I obligated to write about myself and me, nothing else in my way. Let us begin.
 
I, Presto Jesto, am a stage magician. At-least, in the beginning of my long, long life. Now, however, I am simply but a god. You might ask, Presto Jesto, why would you describe yourself as a god? Isn't god but a metaphorical concept that us silly humans rely on for faith and hope? Isn't god just a sham, like the televangelists, 'thousand dollars a week' contests and the easter bunny?
Oh you of little faith. Let's read on, shall we?

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

I am at the peek of human evolution, what with my eternally un-aging body and near limitless strength as a result of the incomprehensible powers given to me. My body may not look like too much if you were to simply gaze upon the picture of me up above, but as the old saying goes, looks can be rather deceiving!

Identifying Characteristics

A little bit of bodypaint that covers my face, nice colors of black and cyan. I was given them as a sign of my devotion to the eternal cold! A wonderful treat, if I say so myself.

Physical quirks

An odd result of my transformation into a god has caused my body to become rather flexible. As a result, I take full advantage of this, dancing wherever I go, twisting and turning like a pretzel!

Special abilities

Well, I have the powers of a Reality Warper at my fingertips, which can include being able to travel between worlds, call upon any element at any time, distort reality and all sorts of things. A simple snap of my fingers is all it can take for an earthquake to occur!

Apparel & Accessories

With a leathery outfit strung together and held together by eons-old magic, and cyan and red feathers adorning my shoulderplates, I am dressed in the perfect outfit fit for a jester! My hat has nice little bells on it, as well, and my shoes are like those of a genie! One thing that doesn't entirely match up with my getup, but is a wonderful addition nonetheless, are the black and gold metal gauntlets I wear, which only further extends the strength and power at my fingertips! All thanks to those within the world called Blackstar, of course!

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Oh, where to begin here? It's been a long time since I've thought of my starting days.
Once, I was a mere pathetic human like the rest of you. I lived in what you now call 'Europa', though in my day, it was called the Kingdom of England. A wonderful place, let me tell you. Loved the daily executions, seeing the life in a pitiful human being discarded for committing the crime of treason was one of the best joys in my life, at the time.
 
I was the court jester of a lowly king, one whom held the old beliefs of humanity quite dear to him. The old ways were as beautiful as they were ancient, seeing magic as a glory unlike any other. He would often send knights out in search of wonderful treasures, of which I would be lucky to get if I was a good little bitch of a entertainer for him. I made him laugh, much as a Jester should, and that went on for about four years. It became dull after a while, you see. A man such as I wanted to spread my joy all across the continent, and it was hard to do for a time.
 
Of course, this would change one day as my king was given a mystical Artifact. Whatever he saw in it, did not interest him, although what I've heard him say told me a lot! He said something along the lines of, 'I wish for power but not at that cost'. What a fool, he missed out on the greatest life of them all. What it cost was nothing, not to me anyway. I'm getting a little ahead of myself.
 
I went to the artifact, a strange little trinket of a statue of a beast from a world that is very unfriendly to humans. A nightmarish realm of fear and hate, a wonderful place for one such as I! The statue had a mirror on it, and when I looked into the mirror, I saw a king. He called himself the eternal cold. He offered me power, more than anything else at the time would've had, even in hundreds of years! All I would have to do, is to spread a kind've joy across the world, the kind I relished in! I agreed readily, upon which he gave me a wonderful list of things I needed to do, in order to become a god!
 
I shall not divulge the items on this list, all you need to know is that by the end of the week, the castle was ablaze with destruction, and the king was being hung by his entrails. As I put him over a beautiful chandelier to watch the life drain out of him, I began to laugh, for it was the most beautiful sight I've ever laid my eyes upon, the destruction, the insanity, the chaos, all of it was simply wonderful!
 
Nowadays, I roam between all of the realms, between Earth and the other timelines, between the worlds that are all connected to Earth. I go, and I cause as much chaos as I wish. I am currently observing a few humans that have peaked the eternal cold's interest, such as a woman from a dark chasm of which she lived for a few hundred years, and those within the damned Shepard family. He has a great plan, you see, and his plans will spell beauty and destruction for the worlds, a grand finale to all of it! I am eager to see the end result.

Education

Self-taught, of course! When you have infinite time on your hands now, you're free to learn whatever you want. Of course, some of it does bore me rather so.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Aside from the destruction of the kingdom I once jested over? Let's see, I've entertained around a couple of hundred men and women and children, set a record keeping one person on the brink of death for around... oh, a decade. Turned pluto into not-a-planet, that was entertaining!

Failures & Embarrassments

For a god such as I, there is no failure! Well, aside from that time I caused my old king's wife to fall off of the castle they lived in. It was never traced back to me, luckily, otherwise I would never have been able to cause as much joy as I do now!

Social

Mannerisms

I like to show off a wonderous flair to my movements and actions, and as such, I will often exaggerate it with some beautiful showmanship. Fire and brimstone raining down behind me, fireworks blowing up and lasers flying around from them, a pack of doves, all of that. What can I say, it's a lot of fun!

Speech

While it's not inherently obvious from my writing here, I often tend to say a lot more exquisite words when speaking. With a jolly tone, I will greet people with joyous hos and many ohs!

Author's Notes

Ever seen Kefka from Final Fantasy 6? Ever seen Dimentio from Super Paper Mario? Yeah, that'll give you an idea of this nutcase.
