Kinger

In The Amazing Digital Circus Kinger is a main character and the longest-surviving human trapped within the virtual world. Voiced by Sean Chiplock, his digital avatar is a tall, white wooden king chess piece wearing a purple royal robe with spotted white fur trim.  Character Profile Role & Background: Kinger was originally a computer scientist and programmer for C&A. He helped create the AI prototype that would become Caine, the circus's ringmaster. Mental State: Due to being trapped in the circus for approximately 18 years (since 1999) and witnessing the "abstraction" of his wife, Queenie, and other friends, he has become eccentric, paranoid, and highly forgetful. Lucidity in Darkness: A unique trait is that Kinger regains his sanity and becomes highly intelligent, wise, and empathetic when in dark or low-light areas. Interests: He has an obsession with insects, particularly an "insect collection," which is a habit he picked up from his late wife, Queenie, who loved entomology. Abilities:Detachable Hands: His gloved hands are not connected to his body and can be pulled away or used independently. Bioluminescence: He can make his entire body glow by holding his breath. Programming Skills: Even in his unstable state, he retains knowledge of computer science and has attempted to modify Caine's source code. Kinger frequently hides in a "pillow fort" he calls his "Impenetrable Fortress" to deal with his paranoia. Despite his erratic behavior, he is one of the kindest members of the group, often acting as a supportive, fatherly figure to characters like Pomni and Ragatha.
