TRUE FORM

When emotionally overwhelmed, enraged, humiliated, or heavily provoked, Valerian’s porcelain body begins violently breaking apart.

Changes Include:

• Height increases to approximately 203 cm (6'8").
• Cracks rapidly spread across his entire body.
• Pieces of porcelain break away from his face and limbs.
• Sclera become entirely black while golden irises glow intensely.
• Teeth sharpen into long needle-like fangs.
• Fingers extend into jagged metallic-gold claws.
• Gold liquid begins leaking heavily from fractures like molten ink.
• Movements become twitchy, jerky, exaggerated, and almost puppet-like.
• His smile widens unnaturally during emotional breakdowns.
• Bells throughout his costume shake and ring violently as he moves.

In this state he resembles a shattered porcelain doll possessed by rage and theatrical hysteria.

STANDARD OUTFIT

Top: Luxurious white-and-black harlequin tunic made of velvet and satin-like fabric, decorated with large diamond patterns across the torso and sleeves. The shoulders and collar are oversized and theatrical, with layered ruffled fabric outlined in dark violet stitching. Long dark-violet opera gloves cover both arms entirely. A four-pointed jester hood drapes over his head, split into black and ivory halves, each tipped with large golden bells.

Bottom: Dark fitted trousers partially hidden beneath the oversized tunic and layered fabric folds, designed more for elegance and movement than practicality.

Shoes: Curled black-and-gold jester shoes with polished metallic details and small ringing bells attached near the tips.

Accessories:

• Dozens of golden bells sewn into nearly every part of the outfit, constantly chiming with movement.
• Dark violet velvet gloves often stained with shimmering gold “blood” resembling liquid ink.
• Thin gold chains and decorative metallic trim woven into the costume.
• A white-and-gold spiked circus bat made of heavy metal, decorated with bells and dried golden stains.
• Porcelain-like cracks spreading subtly across his face and neck beneath the makeup.
• Gold claw-like nails hidden beneath the gloves in his true form.

DETAILS

Valerian was never part of the original carnival staff.

Years after the massacre, he entered Velvet Carnival with a group of friends searching for excitement, urban legends, and proof that the park’s stories were fake.

Only Valerian remained.

Something about him fascinated the carnival.

Perhaps his desperate need for validation. Perhaps the instability already hidden beneath his charm. Perhaps the way humiliation lingered inside him long after laughter ended.

Instead, the carnival reshaped him into something new.

Now Valerian exists as one of the park’s performers — a living porcelain harlequin whose emotions physically fracture his body.

The more unstable he becomes, the more the carnival feeds on him.

And the more beautiful the destruction looks.

ABILITIES

Inside Velvet Carnival:

Valerian moves through the park with unnatural speed and agility.

He can:

• leap across attractions and structures effortlessly,
• move with acrobatic flexibility,
• climb walls and ride frames,
• manipulate mirrors and reflections,
• distort sounds through carnival speakers,
• appear suddenly from hidden sections of attractions,
• weaponize sharp porcelain fragments,
• regenerate damaged porcelain over time.

His emotional instability also affects the environment:

• lights flicker,
• bells ring on their own,
• mirrors crack,
• carousel music distorts,
• and decorations physically break apart around him.

---

Outside the Carnival:

He becomes weaker but still dangerous.

He can:

• briefly manifest during emotional distress,
• appear in reflections,
• leave golden stains or fractured objects behind,
• psychologically torment people through paranoia and mockery,
• follow emotionally vulnerable individuals during foggy nights.

The stronger someone's emotional reaction toward him becomes — fear, attraction, fascination, irritation — the easier it is for Valerian to linger around them.

---

VIOLENCE & TORTURE

Valerian is brutally violent during emotional outbursts.

Valerian’s violence is explosive, loud, and chaotic.

His preferred weapon is a heavy metallic circus bat covered in decorative spikes.

He especially enjoys:

• breaking bones,
• shattering fingers,
• crushing knees,
• and hearing the physical sound of things cracking apart.

To him, destruction feels emotionally satisfying.

During violent episodes he:

• laughs hysterically,
• screams over victims,
• mocks people while attacking them,
• moves unpredictably,
• and often destroys the environment around him alongside the victim.

Even torture becomes performance.

The ringing of his bells mixes with laughter, screams, cracking porcelain, and wet impacts from the bat.
