Kinger [The Amazing Digital Circus!]

Appearance

Kinger is an alder wood-colored king chess piece. He has cartoonish white hands detached from his body and 2 round realistic eyes unevenly placed on his face. He wears a violet colored royal cloak with white fuzzy lining spotted with dark brown.

Personality

Kinger is shown as erratic and paranoid, unable to commit acts of bravery. He has also seemed to have gone crazy in his time in the circus, shown when he starts acting randomly. He is implied to be absent-minded, since he is often seen to forget the fact that people are near him and being startled by them. Kinger also seems to be interested in insects, since he is shown to ramble about an "insect collection" at times.

Biography

Kinger is introduced in the beginning theme song, in which Pomni knocks Jax into Kinger. Resulting in Kinger pushing over Gangle, breaking her comedy mask. Kinger seems to stay in a pillow fort he calls his “Impenetrable Fortress.” He comes out of it when Jax says that Kinger’s been in the circus for the longest, asking if somebody said something about an insect collection. A few moments later, he appears to be hiding in his Impenetrable Fortress, which gets stolen by The Gloinks. Afterwards, he starts explaining how he thinks Kaufmo has gone insane, saying he was rambling about an exit. Kinger compares Kaufmo and Pomni, saying she might be going insane too. Pomni points out that it could mean it is more likely that an exist. Kinger gets paired up with Gangle to go rescue Zooble, in which Kinger starts to twitch. He gets startled when he sees Gangle, forgetting she was there. Later in the episode, Gangle and Kinger appear to be looking down at a hole, with Zooble distantly screaming. Kinger forgets why they’re there, saying he doesn’t know what he’s looking at. Gangle explains that they saw The Gloinks carry Zooble down there, and Kinger thanks her for the recap. Kinger seems to get startled by Jax’s appearance, and then tells them they found “The Zooble Hole.” A few moments later, Jax throws a bowling ball at Kinger, in response, Kinger grabs Gangle, dragging her down the hole with him. Jax jumps in after them. After a bit of tumbling down a slide, they enter The Gloink Queen Nest. As of seeing The Gloink Queen, Kinger says, “An insect collection?” In which Gangle corrects him, and he gets startled by her, screaming. A few moments later, Kinger and Gangle do rock-paper-scissors to see who will rescue Zooble. Kinger wins, but runs off to go save Zooble anyway. He grabs Zooble’s head, and his hands just stay attached to it. When The Gloink Queen spits out Zooble, Kinger asks if they experienced a game show in there. He can be seen carrying Zooble’s head until they tell him that they thought he would be next

Trivia

His voice actor, Sean Chiplock, is known for voicing Thad, Ronathan and Sam in Murder Drones, Oneshot Wren in the SMG4 series, Diluc in Genshin Impact, and most notable of all, Revali from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Guido Mista from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind. When asked how old Kinger is, Gooseworx says it’s undisclosed what his specific age is. However, it is stated he is above 40 years old.[2] It was later revealed that Kinger is 48 years old.[1] He has been in the Circus longer than any of the other characters, which Jax believes is why he's the most psychologically unstable of them all. [3] Even Zooble believes that Kinger would have been the first one to go abstract due to his paranoia. Both his and Bubble's reveal trailers are connected. He had a pillow fort, which Kinger named his "impenetrable fortress" that he would hide in to protect himself. His hands can be pulled away endlessly, as seen when he grabs Zooble in the PILOT. One of the crossed out performers in the "PILOT" resembles a dark queen chess piece with a red robe, who is confirmed to be named Queenie.[4] This could imply that Kinger might have had a relationship with Queenie. Considering that Queenie's icon is crossed out, it's implied that she abstracted before the events of the PILOT. In the "PILOT" after Zooble gets spit out of the Gloink Queen, he says "You didn't experience a game show in there, did you?" This is a reference to the Gastral Giveaway in Gooseworx's previous project "Little Runmo" and "Elain the Bounty Hunter". He seems to be interested in insect collections, as he went out of his way to peek out of his pillow fort because he thought he heard someone say something about them.
