introducing my ringmaster/clown oc!

sorry if the quality is sucky. here is a ringmaster clown character that i plan on working on design-wise. his name is Arsene. he’s an ENTP 7w8! he’s quite a fiendish fellow, with a penchant for trapping people of interest in a never-ending maze of a circus tent. will you escape, or will you get lost among the trick mirrors?

What would happen if you get dropped in TWST. Would Yuuji know your player right away or later on? How would he react especially with the other characters intersecting with them?

Yuuji would sense you even before spotting you with his eyes. He woke up, expecting the usual routine of you logging into the game and grinding the latest event or doing your weeklies, but your presence… your aura… your warmth… simply wasn’t there.

What…? Panic flooded his senses, the dam of his dread bursting. Even when you were idly on your device, even if you happened to delete the game, there was always a part of you lingering. Always with him. But not this time. He felt like he was back to his old self again— an empty husk. Soulless, without purpose.

His heart and mind raced, delirious and desperate for even an ounce of you. Where had you gone? Why was this happening? Were you ever coming back? Did you leave him all by his lonesome; to rot?

But before he could start a rampage and spiral down a path he could not go back from, a comforting heat akin to a hearth was draped over him like a blanket.

It was different than usual. Still you, still familiar, but somehow distant. Yet calling to him. This feeling was beckoning him closer, leading him hopefully to your whereabouts.

When he finally found you, asleep on the newly renovated Ramshackle… he wasn’t mad. He would never be mad at you, glorious you. In fact, he was the opposite. Immense release washed over him, so much so he began to well up with tears. This was more than he could ever ask for…!

You, whom he devoted himself wholly to, laid right in front of him! Oh, you looked simply divine, eyelashes fluttered closed and chest rising up and down with each breath.

Yuuji had never seen you before, but somehow, he knew. It was you.

And it would certainly be a shame if the others found out about your arrival… Nobody had to know. You were finally his, finally here in the flesh, and he’d be damned to ever let you go.

What if Y/N is just like Yuuji though? Like, adjusting her likings according to people around her. (Maybe even lead to identity crisis since Y/N doesn't even have her OWN favourites? Ykwim.)

Oh, this got me thinking. I’m of similar mindset, so i get what you’re trying to say! (Thank you to my best friend for the help lmao.)

Although very hesitant since he is used to his main purpose of being a vessel, it would start slow. It would be a little hard for him to break out of those habits and lean more into his own personality. Slowly, he would push some of his influence, likes, dislikes and opinions onto you. It wouldn’t be very obvious at first since he doesn’t want to draw attention to it, but if you wield positive results to what he’s doing, it will continue and he will be less inclined to hide what he’s doing. It’s as if he’s the one pulling the strings instead of you. This probably isn’t an ideal situation.

If you react negatively, he will still try and figure out what makes you tick. Putting on the hat of observation and almost stalkerish tendencies. How do you react to certain situations? Certain stimuli? What do your eyes linger on the most? Who are you most comfortable being around? What makes you uncomfortable? What brings out your ‘stronger/inner personality’? Surely you must have some kind of things you prefer. He will go from there. (If you don’t, the scenario above will probably still go on, he will just approach things differently.)

I wouldn’t be surprised if he went to certain extremes to draw reactions out of you. Putting himself and others in danger or in… unideal situations. Or messing up your relationships with the other characters. Nothing explicitly malicious, though.

Even when you aren’t playing the game, there will always be that chilling feeling of something watching your every move.

Yuuji is so adorable! I love him!! He's very pretty! Does he have specific interests?.

thank you so much!

yuuji adores collecting. if you were ever in the same place as him (aka twst or your own world), he’d be a casual collector of your stuff, nothing creepy or gross, but for the most part he just likes it in general. he’s a chronic kleptomaniac.

overall, his favorite things to collect are soda can tabs, pressed flowers (either given to him or made himself), and alarm clocks. he would actually really enjoy the white rabbit fest!

he also likes to game in his spare time, and enjoys casual rpgs and rhythm games. also, as previously mentioned, he likes to listen to music! sadly most of this stuff he doesn’t have much time to do, already occupied by keeping grim and adeuce out of trouble, and being an unlicensed impromptu therapist.

What kind of music does Yuuji love to listen to?

Yuuji likes whatever kind of music that you like (hacking into whatever music playlists you have saved, looked up, and the genres you listen to the most), but if you were to ask him what specifically is his favorite genre aside from yours, he would go with gothic/punk rock. Obscure, vampiric and almost… cold sounding. He also occasionally likes romantic oldies and… “Weird Al” Yankovic. Don’t ask.

(Fun Fact: I actually made a playlist inspired off of him!!)

[ranpire]

Omg Yuuji loves actual goth music? I’m a goth myself and I def listen to most of the songs on his playlist. I feel like we’d get along well in terms of music taste.

He would very much enjoy listening to music with you, perhaps even sharing an earbud…? The thought makes him giddy.

Tbh I need more music/band recommendations so if you have any suggestions I’d love to hear them! <3
