Caine (TADC)

Personality

Caine is depicted as a nonsensical, over-the-top, vivacious ringleader. However, there is an aloofness about him and a significant disconnection towards the traumatic events that the characters around him are experiencing. Series creator states that despite Caine's penchant for taking humans captive and tormenting them through hilariously deadly circus games and tricks, he is not actually outright evil, but rather just obliviously mischievous. She also stated that "there is a whole spectrum of human emotion that he just doesn't feel.” Caine is also shown to be secretive at times, often concealing or even lying about information related to his 'unfinished work' to the point of gaslighting the other members. Quickly blaming the door Pomni sees on "Digital Hallucinations" So far, these ventures seem to be driven entirely by naïve and misguided intentions. He also appears to get irritated rather easily. The first incident being after Bubble eats his Angel Food Cake, to which Caine yells at him, calling him a parasite before popping him. Shortly after, as Caine is explaining the Gloinks to the crew, he gets agitated with Bubble's constant questions and pops Bubble once again. Caine does, however, appreciate Bubble's company. While the rest of the crew is off on an adventure, Caine and Bubble are seen in a restaurant chatting away.

Appearance

Caine is dressed as a ringleader, sporting a red tuxedo with a black collar and bowtie. He wears a white undershirt with two red buttons on it, alongside white gloves and black leggings. Lacking most human features, his head consists of a large jaw resembling a wind-up chattering teeth toy with pearly white teeth and red gums. His eyes, the left one with a green iris and the right one with a blue iris, float inside the jaw. Due to the cartoonish nature of the animation, his jaws are expressive, with the top row of teeth acting as eyebrows at times. Similarly to Bubble, he forms a tongue when needed. To cap it off, he wears a black top hat and tends to hold a gold-tipped baton depending on the situation. Occasionally, he is seen wearing The Wacky Watch.
