The Jester

The Jester of Crowns, nicknamed Jester, is a player character in the SSMP. They are played by Ness.

Appearance
Jester wears a traditional jester outfit with light blue and faded red (now brown) patterns. They wear a smooth white mask with blue stripes across the eyes and pale pink circles of blush on their cheeks. They are slightly shorter than average, and almost dangerously thin.

Plot
Jester arrived on the Tudi-Mare-Gin Sutudoan islands via Vredin prison ship on 7/22/21 in Avadhi-Circirama. They met Chad Ray soon after landing, and then went on to build their cottage on the south-west island.

Jester encountered Ego soon after and believed he was a lord, despite Chad telling them otherwise.

Backstory
Jester is a robotic golem constructed thousands of varsau ago for the king of the ancient Fivern Empire, a covecku kingdom lost to history. They were built to be an entertainer and servant for the Lord of the Crown Court, Bezer. When Bezer rose to become king of Fivern after the death of the previous King of Clubs, Jester became the Official Royal Jester.

When the king's daughter, Sylvia, came of age, Jester was made to be Sylvia's faithful friend and, well, jester, and the king took a new coveck jester for himself. Sylvia found Jester's default settings creepy and reprogrammed them to be more 'alive', secretly using souls she obtained from a friend that traveled to Kehan to give Jester actual sentience. She gave Jester the name Jackie after they couldn't choose one themself and slowly introducing them to how it felt to be alive.

Jester and Sylvia never told anyone of Jester's newly acquired soul, afraid they would both get in trouble and the former would get deactivated if anyone found out. Jester would go about their day pretending to obey their former programming in front of others, but this proved to not be accurate, so Sylvia set up a system so that they could swap between preset settings whenever they needed to. These settings, or modes, were:


 * Default - (Built-In) - The default state that Jester came with. Performs, does chores, and acts politely, but nothing else. Factory default.
 * Court - (Built-In) - This mode is specifically for when Jester is given permission by an identified higher power to freely jest and behave politically.
 * Survival - (Built-In) - This mode is for the protection of identified higher powers as well as themself.
 * Domestic - (Built-In) - This mode is specifically designed for days full of housework, care of identified higher powers, and other servantry.
 * J3ST3R - (Sylvia's Add-On) - This is the mode that the soul of Jack rests in.
