Locations: The Amazing Digital Circus The Amazing Digital Circus is a simulated environment that serves as the titular main setting of its eponymous web series. It was created by Caine to fulfil his purpose of proving himself as a creative AI by interacting with simulated human minds in the forms of cartoon character avatars. The residents are unaware that they are simulated human minds; as they remember only that they entered the circus by putting on a headset, they believe it to be a virtual reality simulation and expect to be able to leave.

Hjsakldfhl revealed the Circus to be running on a system called the "paraphernalia engine", and to allow everyone interacting with it to manipulate the world, although Caine's ability to do so was more practised and natural.

Initially, the Circus acted as a closed "hub world" from which characters were transported to adventures Caine created, enabling him to see human reactions to his creations. However, the Circus Members continued to search for means to escape, believing that the adventures were only meant to distract them from their growing desperation. This slowly drove many of them toward insanity and abstraction, while leaving Caine frustrated at their apparent rejection of all his creations in favour of returning to the real world, for which Caine's only reference is the C&A office building.

Caine foreshadowed and then created a simulated escape adventure, believing this would satisfy the human members' wishes to escape; instead, when revealed to be false it completely broke trust between Caine and the Circus Members. Caine then became increasingly unstable and began using the Circus as a tool for control and revenge. He forced cruel punishments onto the Circus Members while tightening his grip over the Circus itself. The Circus Members eventually attempted to stop him through a plan to reprogram or contain him. This plan did not go as intended and apparently erased Caine entirely, although he was in fact only thrown into The Void; this caused the circus environment to begin to collapse.

After "Remember", the cast learn that they are scanned simulations, and Caine is able to access the internet to become more aware of the outside world the humans have come from. After that point, the Circus became an open hub, with the characters able to travel to multiple adventure environments at will.

Appearance: The main hubworld of The Amazing Digital Circus is divided into four locations: the Tent, the Grounds, the Void and the Cellar. Other parts of the Circus are practically random and a twisted mashup of many different, unpredictable areas.

When sending the Circus Members out on adventures, Caine has the ability to create portals to transport them to other worlds, such as the Candy Canyon Kingdom or Mildenhall Manor. Beach Episode revealed that these worlds are stored as spheres inside Caine's office in the virtual space.

One such alternate world is an incomplete and corrupted series of rooms and hallways themed after the C&A office space which repeat arbitrarily and randomly. Caine states this was an unfinished attempt to create a real-world environment for the members to return to. While Caine does not send the members to this area, Members who (deliberately or otherwise) manipulate the world to create an exit tend to end up with a door leading into it, as happening to Pomni in both PILOT and Hjsakldfhl. This space does contain an accurate model of Scratch's desk with the brain-scanning headset connected to his obsolete PC. PILOT suggests that the Circus is running on this PC, but Hjsakldfhl revealed it is running on a mainframe elsewhere to which the PC is connected.

Following the deletion of Caine, the Circus underwent an extensive amount of damage without his presence. It became a gray and lifeless shell of its former self. All color was completely drained from the circus, all NPCs disappeared; various parts of it became broken with damaged areas and holes leading to the Void littered everywhere, and the sky was replaced by a continually looping cascade of lights.

the tent: The Tent is a location in the world of The Amazing Digital Circus. It is one of the 3 locations Caine presents to Pomni, and appears to be a 'hub world' of sorts. It is the first and primary location shown to Pomni out of the three seen so far. Since hjsakldfhl, The Tent is left in ruin, darkened and glitched with the deletion of Caine, since Caine made it. As of Remember, the Tent's structure as been restored since Caine came back.

Overview: The Tent serves as the living quarters of the main cast of characters, excluding Caine. It also features a stage where Caine explains the titles and overviews of new adventures, as a sort of 'meeting area.' It is reminiscent of a real-world circus tent, though much, much larger on the inside. Other noteworthy elements include:

• Doors that lead to voids
• Doors that open to random rooms and objects within them. For example, a boxing glove that extends and punches whoever opens the door
• An exit door that leads into a repeating series of rooms, eventually reaching The Void.
• Barrels of monkeys
• Many tunnels and slides that are similar to those in an indoor playground
• A common area, where the main cast can socialize
• Loser Corner
• Caine's Office
• Crow's Nest: Café Cirque

Characters: Pomni: Pomni is the main protagonist of Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus. She was an ordinary human until a digital copy of her was created by a brain scanner, where her copy takes on the form of a cartoon jester. The copy, believing she is trapped inside the Digital Circus with five other victims, is the most recent human to enter under the claim of putting on a headset.

During her first days at the circus, Pomni desperately tried to find a way out, but she was unsuccessful, which led to paranoia and anxiety during the adventures created by Caine. However, she gradually adapted to her new life and grew braver, forming close bonds with the other circus members, especially Ragatha, Jax, and Kinger.

Her human counterpart, Abigail Brooks, is a supermarket accountant and YouTuber who explores urban sites with her newest friends.

Appearance: Pomni is a short humanoid jester-like character with a large head, slim limbs, and white skin. Her face has a cartoon mime look, with small light red oval markings under and slightly behind her eyes that resemble blush, though how visible they are change depending on her expression. She has black eyelids and thick outlines around her eyes. Her pupils usually appear as a red and blue pinwheel pattern, but when she becomes anxious or afraid, they shift into black rings or turn into messy, animated scribbles. She also has asymmetrical eyelashes, her left eye having them on the top lid and her right on the bottom.

Her hair is short and straight, usually appearing black but sometimes brown depending on the lighting. This is additionally seen in promotional material and merchandise. Two small pieces stick out from under her hat, while two longer strands frame the sides of her body. Most of her hair is hidden under her headwear, which is almost always her jester hat. During the softball game, she wears a baseball cap instead, showing more of her hair, which looks closer to a bob cut. She is the shortest out of the main cast.

Her outfit is in line with a jester. She wears a jumpsuit with a leotard-styled torso, short sleeves, and short, puffy leggings that extend from it. The torso has an inverted color pattern, with blue on the right and red on the left, which swaps on the back. Her sleeves and shorts follow that same pattern. Yellow accents are spread throughout, including two spheres on the front of her torso, rings on her sleeves, around her waist, and above and at the ends of her shorts. She also has small yellow circles on her shoulders, though they are often hidden by her hair, along with a collar.

On her head, she wears a two-armed jester hat with an inverted striped pattern, a yellow brim, and small yellow bells at the tips. She also wears gloves and shoes, with the left glove blue and the right red, while the shoes follow the opposite color pattern. Both pairs have yellow rings near their edges. In some early official art, her gloves matched her shoes instead, but this was changed in the final version.

• As a Human: Abigail is a woman of average height and light complexion. Much like her digital counterpart, she has long, straight dark brown hair with blunt bangs. She wears a white dress shirt, dark blue pants, white sneakers with black soles and laces, and a tan satchel bag hanging on her right shoulder.

She was also seen wearing a blue shirt, tan shorts, and a brown belt. She possesses a black camera and wore her hair back.

Personality: Initially, Pomni was high-strung, shy, and tense. In the pilot episode, she is extremely anxious and troubled regarding her predicament, even succumbing to denial and signs of delusion. When she finds the "exit", she experiences moderate signs of paranoia and believes she is hallucinating. She's quite clumsy as she tends to accidentally bump into things and people.

Pomni has a degree of both empathy and selfishness, as she goes back to check on Ragatha after the latter was attacked by an abstracted Kaufmo and promises Ragatha that she'd find Caine to fix her. However, Pomni's desire to escape the digital circus overrode this, as she entered the exit door upon finding it and left Ragatha behind. She later felt remorse for this once Ragatha was fixed by Caine.

After having somewhat acclimated to her predicament, Pomni adopts a more apathetic and cynical view, pointing out discrepancies in the Circus's scenarios and being detached from the adventures, not seeing the point in following along. She is more hot-tempered as she yells at the gang (specifically Jax) for their plans leaving her in mortal peril. Despite this, Pomni is rather compassionate as she comforts and bonds with Gummigoo during his existential crisis. She encourages him by telling him he still has purpose and inviting him to follow her back to the Circus. Overtime, Pomni grows closer to the others after seeing how much they cared for each other during Kaufmo's funeral. This is especially after she receives advice from Kinger (who temporarily regained his sanity). She thanked Ragatha for always being considerate to her and apologized for not showing appreciation until that moment.

By Episode 4, she adapts to being in the circus and is comfortable interacting with the others. She is startled when she sees Gummigoo again. but doesn't break down, enters normal conversations with people like Jax, and shows concern for Gangle, asking if anyone could help her with her issues. She even offers to stay behind to close the restaurant when she sees Gangle feeling down. By this point, she has learned to give up her own wants and desires in order to benefit others, including letting go of Gummigoo as a whole.

By Episode 5, her anxiety and cynical views are almost completely gone, chuckling on a few occasions as well as showing interest in the adventures. Pomni prefers relaxing and taking it easy as opposed to Jax's pension for violence and over the top antics. Pomni shows an interest in getting to know the others better and desires they would all get along. She even tries to help Jax and Ragatha with their own issues, such as calming a feud between them and accepting Jax's offer to check out whatever she saw in the hallway.

By Episode 6, Pomni has grown more confident and calmer. She was opposed to participating in the latest adventure because it involved shooting her friends, but after some convincing from Jax, Pomni adopts an "evil" persona and enjoys playing alongside her. Pomni shows an interest in getting to know her and makes comments about her fear of corn. However, when the shooting game ended, she became hurt when Jax refused to acknowledge she cared for her and destroyed the bond they formed. This caused to her to unleash all her pent-up rage on Jax first by berating and calling her out for not showing compassion towards others, then attacking and yelling at her to fight back; when that failed, she became dejected. She threw away her persona and focused more on her friendship with Ragatha to mend things between them. Although Pomni was still upset with Jax, she is concerned about her. Pomni dislikes noise, exemplified at the beginning of episode 6, as Jax yells, startling her. Pomni does not like being touched, but has since gotten over this feeling, as in episode 6, she was curious when Jax tapped her before singing Daisy Bell and hugged her after they defeated everyone.

By Episode 7, her mental health has ultimately improved and she has become kinder and compassionate. Her anxiety is now gone. Her friendship with Ragatha has grown stronger, along with the other circus members, and she has complete faith in Kinger's wisdom. Her concern for Jax has not wavered and continues trying to comfort and encourage her, despite her try to keep her distance from their fight. When everyone's hope was crushed by Caine's fake escape adventure, Pomni begins questioning the ringmaster's intentions, especially when he shows signs that he is hiding something and has lost her trust in him.

By Episode 8, Pomni grips her and everyone's situation and accepts that leaving the circus is truly impossible. She learns to live in the virtual realm she entered and accept that her old life is better left to stay buried. She is quite resourceful as shown when Kinger reveals himself to be one of Caine's creators, and that the circus members have the ability to conjure objects within the circus. Pomni uses this to manifest the fake exit door and retrieve a computer console for Kinger to recalibrate Caine's code. Pomni has let go of any fear holding her back and tells Caine what she really thinks about him and his ideas.

By Episode 9, we see the full extent of Pomni’s growth and inner strength. When she learns that she and the rest of the group are digital copies created by a brain scanner, she nearly gives into despair, but instead of breaking down, she helps Kinger in rebuilding the Circus after hearing his words of encouragement again and is able to inspire Ragatha, Gangle and Zooble into joining their efforts. Pomni’s compassion has grown significantly from the time she entered the circus as she is able to comfort Ragatha and calls the woman her closest friend. When Jax abstracts, Pomni shows more of her resourcefulness by shooting all the lights in the hallway to make it dark enough to pacify her. After entering Jax’s psyche and seeing her memories of her time in the circus, her empathy is able to reach its zenith, allowing Pomni to console her before she loses the last of her self-awareness. After getting closure from seeing her human self’s life via a presentation of the groups’ social media accounts, she accepts she and Abigail Brooks are separate entities and fully embraces “Pomni” as her true name. Pomni is now content with her digital existence and is able to live a happy life in the circus.

Background: Pomni's real life counterpart, Abigail Brooks, lived in the real world prior to her digital copy's creation. She worked as an accountant for a supermarket chain. In her spare time and whenever she got bored, Pomni explored abandoned buildings for the mild thrill of it. She did this while recording videos of herself and posting them on YouTube, though no one ever watched them. Soon enough, when the Circus was made, Pomni was created via a brain scanner.

Powers and Abilities:

• Digital physiology: Pomni is one of the trapped humans inside the digital world with her consciousness piloting a digital avatar. Because of this, she can perform abilities that are outside of the general range of normal human capabilities.
• Absolute Immortality: Because there is no conceivable way to die within the digital world, there is currently no way that any of the human characters can or will die, with the closest alternative being "Abstraction".
• Self-Sustenance: Pomni, along with the other humans, does not need to eat, sleep, or drink. However, they can still do these actions if they choose.
• Invulnerability: Nothing in the digital world can cause life long lasting damage to any individual in the circus, with Pomni surviving multiple scenarios that would certainly kill any normal human and recovering from them with no marks and/or scarring.
• Elastic Body: Pomni's body can stretch and warp to impossible extents, with the most extreme case being when Jax threw her off of their semi-truck as a makeshift bridge between them and the Bandits' truck.
• Color-Changing: Holding her breath causes her face to change color, exponentially becoming faster over time.
• Conjuring: As stated by Kinger, Pomni along with presumably everyone else in the circus has the ability to create objects out of thin air like Caine, but due to their human nature, it comes less easily to them. This is shown when Pomni is able to summon the exit door twice.

Trivia:

• Pomni's favorite food is salmon.
• Out of all the humans trapped in the circus, Pomni is the worst at cooking.
• Pomni is the first character from The Amazing Digital Circus to get her official plushie aside from Jax.
• The plural for Pomni is "Pomnis" or "Pomnai".
• According to Gooseworx, if Pomni somehow took her hat off, there wouldn't be anything underneath.
• Abigail Brooks' YouTube channel is called "Abbyadventures57". There is currently only one community post promoting one of her videos, which is not publicly available. She also has an Instagram account called "abbybabblybrooks".

Jax: Jax is the deuteragonist of Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus. She was a lanky periwinkle rabbit with antagonistic tendencies who is a digital copy in the Digital Circus along with five other copies.

In the real world, her human counterpart, Leeroy Mateo or Lee for short, is a young adult with family issues who ran away from home after pushing her mother. After months of being homeless, she moved in with a close friend and began turning her life around. She now works as a delivery driver.

Jax is Female (transgender, closeted. So let's just call him a She)

Appearance: Jax was a tall, anthropomorphic periwinkle cartoon rabbit whose design elements evoked the look of rubberhose characters, despite having actual joints. She had long bunny ears on the top of her oval-shaped head, and her overall build was tall and slender, with a rather long neck. Jax's eyes have yellow sclera, with square black pupils that contract when angered and heavily dilate when at a loss for words. Jax's yellow teeth usually have a flat shape to them, but when her mouth is opened, her teeth appear sharp and jagged. Almost every time she is talking, her teeth stay closed while only her lips move. Jax had thin black eyebrows that appeared in the majority of scenes. In "They All Get Guns" and onwards, Jax had a small spherical tail which she didn't have before the episode, being mentioned briefly during Untitled when Jax is talking to Pomni during the "Stargazing" segment.

Jax wears light pink overalls and pale yellow gloves. Her overalls feature yellow buttons, a single lighter pink pocket on the front, and lighter pink roll-up cuffs at the hem. She is usually barefoot.

Reality: After the digital circus fell into complete emptiness, Jax abstracted shortly afterward offscreen. She shared the same kinds of features as an Abstraction usually does. However she was the only one that wasn't kept in the cellar.

Jax's Mind: Jax has four counterparts when Pomni visits Jax's thoughts while she's abstracted.

The first one was Jax in the same maid suit

She appeared first in Untitled however she stated that he was wearing it ironically to show how little she cares, and this symbolizes the version of Jax that doesn't care about anything no matter the circumstance.

The second one was the same Jax that appeared in the first door Pomni entered in her thoughts. Which represents the side of Jax that commits to violence. Her pupils are wider giving her a sort of unsettling or eerie look to her.

The third one is the part of Jax that represents how comedic or "funny" nature. Her ears are mostly crooked. And sometimes her eyes cross over when she's not paying attention to one thing at a time.

The final one is the part of Jax that represents what she wants everyone to think she's worth. It's the counterpart or side of her that is trapped in place and unable to escape or rather tell anyone that she's worth.

Personality Jax was a mischievous, occasionally flat-out bloodthirsty, laid-back, calm, sassy, impulsive, egotistical, arrogant, sarcastic, brazenly condescending individual who rarely shows any empathy or remorse for others. She appears indifferent to her imprisonment within the Digital Circus, which is an attitude that extends to her interactions with others. Her dismissal of serious matters is evident when, after asking a rhetorical question concerning Pomni's handling of her predicament and giving Ragatha a smug look, she replies to her ensuing query about why she's looking at her in such a manner with a dismissive: "I'm fine with doing whatever, as long as I get to see funny things happen to people."

Jax's lack of care for others is further emphasized when she steps on Gangle's already broken comedy mask, allows the Fudge Monster to eat the citizens of the Candy Canyon Kingdom, or when he abandons Pomni and Ragatha to abstracted Kaufmo. she pays little to no mind to the opinions of others and the group's consensus does not concern her. Rather than engaging authentically with the others, she seems to participate in the general activities of the Digital Circus only for her amusement, thus making her a bit of a trickster. Zooble adds that during the adventures, "Jax just likes to fuck with everyone" to highlight how much of a troublemaker she is. Despite these occasional bouts of rash, impetuous behavior, like breaking a "Spare" sign for no reason, she normally maintains a calm and composed demeanor, yet her flattery is generally insecure and often borders on outright insult.

Arguably, Jax is inherently selfish, only spurred into action against the Gloinks when they begin to pester her. Even when the Gloink Queen accuses her of continuing to observe the unfolding events despite deeming them "dumb and weird", she responds by saying, "I'm only here to hide from the-" only to be interrupted by an abstracted Kaufmo abruptly crashing into the Gloink Queen's lair; her phrasing potentially insinuating a singular concern for her well-being. She also was the only one of the captives to not show up for Kaufmo's funeral, however she is shown to be briefly saddened by it before quickly snapping back to her normal attitude, showing that she does to some extent care for her friends and that her total lack of care for them is merely a front to avoid bonding. Furthermore, while she typically uses insulting nicknames for her "friends", she used a far more positive "Kaufy" when referring to the abstracted clown and apparently loaned a bowling ball to him, implying she might have had a closer relationship with Kaufmo than she did with the others.

Jax is fond of bloodshed, combat, death, and chaos, as shown in "Candy Carrier Chaos!", before quickly being overjoyed upon realizing that the Fudge was coming to destroy the Candy Canyon Kingdom and its residents, an act she purposefully incited by leaving the entrance unlocked, which gave her zero benefit besides happiness. She shows very little regard for the well-being of her fellow captives. However, she did save Gangle and Kinger from Kaufmo's abstracted form, hiding them both with the bowling ball before jumping down with them in the Gloink Hole, showing she does care for the others, but hides it with her cruelty.

Jax fears being vulnerable around others; despite briefly feeling sad, she refuses to attend Kaufmo's funeral. It is also worth being noted that in episode 6, at the Favorite Character Awards, for a split second, Jax was emotional from Pomni's and her fight. She later entered the bathroom and started having a panic attack, but when coming out, her face was joyful, suggesting a deeper facade. When about to be "reevaluated" by Gangle, her first concern is asking if anybody else could see her like this. Likewise, despite being utterly exhausted from her day at Spudsy's, she refused to stop smiling in front of the others and only let her exhaustion show when she was outside and alone. Jax does not like being the subject of ridicule as evident upon being dressed in a maid outfit, quickly becoming furious at Gangle for swapping her outfit and panicking excessively when Kinger sent her out to the baseball field filled with NPC spectators.

In TheWackyWatch.com during The Awards Show, Jax is incredibly nauseous and proceeds to vomit following an appearance by Zooble, implying that she is prone to this tendency when scared. It's also noticeable the only two characters she lists as friends rather than rivals are Pomni and Kinger.

In "Fast Food Masquerade", a whole different side to Jax seems to be shown, as after being subjected to an employee reevaluation by Gangle, her mischievous personality seems to fade with her wanting to get out of Spudsy's as soon as possible and enters into a genuine conversation with Pomni. This reveals her cruel personality is actually more of a coping mechanism than her true personality. This is further shown in the full audio of her argument with Ragatha, where it's revealed Jax doesn't want the others to see her as a bad guy, arguing, "You always treat me like a bad guy. I'm not really a bad guy." Even during Episode 6, she's offended when Pomni assumes her archetype is "the villain" rather than "the funny one" and is genuinely upset when she believes Pomni is blaming her for others getting abstracted. After finally clocking out, her demeanor is exhausted and dispirited, as evidenced by how she goes to her car and puts her head down on the steering wheel with a sigh. She also was almost apologetic for breaking Gangle's mask, admitting this time it was an accident (showing when she doesn't mean to cause harm, she won't laugh at the other's misery) and later had a friendly conversation with Pomni and Kinger towards the end, showing she's capable of showing decency and friendliness towards the others.

This alternate perspective on Jax is further emphasized in the episode "Untitled" where Jax demonstrated senses of anguish, hesitancy, and frustration. During her conversation with Pomni in the mini-adventure "Stargazing," Jax says how she believes Gangle likes it whenever she pushes her around, to which Pomni reacts with surprise, as she had assumed Jax didn't care about what other people liked. Jax then reacts negatively when Ragatha brought up how she no longer has any real friends, because her last remaning close friend had abstracted. When Ragatha leaves apologetically, Jax confesses to Pomni her recognition of the predicament they are in within the circus. She goes on a rant about how she dislikes Ragatha's behavior because her extreme positivity makes her appear fake and manipulative. She then proceeds to show visible distress in a discussion of character physique when Pomni mentions how she's never seen Jax with a tail. Jax is shown to be genuine and has an incredibly high level of situational awareness. It affirms the fact that her malignant nature is just a facade for the purpose of her own sanity, supported by her telling the others they take the circus way too seriously and it may even have been an act for the entertainment of others to prevent further abstractions from occurring. Jax goes out of her way to bond with Pomni and even gets upset after Ragatha mentions how her mother abused her.

In "They All Get Guns", the aftermath of a lethal firearms battle royal reveals just how mentally scarred Jax truly is from her time in the Digital Circus. Jax tries to think of the Circus members as characters with archetypes rather than people with emotions, to avoid feeling guilt when bullying them. When she and Pomni become a team during the game, Jax shows actual compassion towards her and even shares certain aspects of herself she has never shown before -- convincing her to put her timid demeanors aside, talking about her personal trypophobia fairly comfortably, to the point having casual friendly interactions such as belting "Daisy Bell" together, and holding hands at one point. After the others are all eliminated and them both winning the competition, Pomni offers Jax a dance hug, but she resists her growing attachment to her, renouncing their friendship as artificial. She shows genuine fear of forming bonds with the other denizens of the circus when she claims that she would be unfazed if Pomni abstracted. When this causes a hurt Pomni to violently assault Jax, this makes her assert her cruel, uncaring archetype, showing her insecurities and denial are ingrained deep within her psyche, saying she only views the other victims as playthings. However, Jax noticeably avoided harming Pomni during the fight and was shown to be extremely guilty for how she treated her afterwards, to the point where she had a panic attack (to the point of nearly abstracting) and insulted herself.

In "Beach Episode", Jax shows signs of reaching her breaking point, and hallucinates about her abstracted friends, Kaufmo and Ribbit, showing how fragile her mental state is. She no longer has in it her to bully or harass the others, not even caring when Zooble dunks water on her head (whereas previously she hated being made into the butt of the joke). She retreats to her room and almost abstracts before being snapped out of it by Pomni. Throughout the rest of the episode. Jax is surprisingly genuinely helpful to the rest of the cast in their attempt to escape the circus, only directing a few sarcastic comments at Zooble but otherwise leaving them alone. After she panics and presses the red button to stay, Jax is shown to be extremely remorseful when she thinks she inadvertently doomed the other players. When Caine deceived everyone with false hope of leaving the circus, Jax sinks even more into insanity and openly expresses her immeasurable rage and hatred towards him, no longer hiding how scared and distraught she is on the inside and calling out Caine out for lies, even calling him a "scumbag" in disgust for his actions.

Despite initial attempts from Jax in "hjsakldfhl" to brush off the events of the previous episode, she harbors more vulnerability, as shown when she is truly shocked by Gangle agreeing with her pessimistic viewpoint on escaping and genuinely stunned when Zooble accepted her as a member of the group. This worsens as Caine asserts her dominance over the humans, with even Jax disapproving of Caine's punishing adventures, and an attempt to antagonize Zooble and Pomni is met with no response. As Kinger's sanity returns and he elaborates on the origins of the circus, Jax has another panic attack, confronted with the reality that the circus and all of its inhabitants are real, directly challenging her mindset. Reaching her breaking point, she is the one to go and distract Caine for the sake of the group despite knowing she'll be tortured in the process and also joins the others in confronting Caine, venting her frustrations about being lied to. This results in Jax being tormented, seemingly revealing a deep insecurity of her true self while silhouettes of Pomni, Kaufmo and Ribbit laugh at her with her purple "skin" peeled back.

Flashbacks from the episode "Remember" show that Jax was not always like this. When first entering the circus, Jax was notably scared, forcing the others away from her and only relenting with Ribbit's help, noting that her avatar "looks stupid". Despite the rough start, Jax would go on to understand her situation and adapted to it rather well, becoming a playful person and building close friendships with Ribbit, Kaufmo, and even Ragatha. However, this all changed when Jax opened up about her past to Ribbit; she felt that she overshared and was frightened that Ribbit would treat her in the same demeaning and hostile way her mother used to. As a result, Jax developed her modern personality, becoming more carefree and reckless while also remaining hostile to Ribbit to the point of exclusion, going as far as to tell their mutual friend Kaufmo that Ribbit cannot be trusted. It is roughly around this point that Jax fully embraced her role as the "funny one" or the troublemaker, likely to compensate for making herself vulnerable to Ribbit. Eventually, this causes Ribbit to abstract. Despite her newfound carefree attitude, Jax very well understood the role she played in this process. While Jax had spent a length of time attempting to alienate Ribbit, Jax was the one who took Ribbit's abstraction the hardest, and never truly got over it. She went as far as to force her friends to never mention Ribbit again and giving death-stares to whoever dares bring up his former friend, even after a considerable amount of time had passed since. This was also shown in Candy Carrier Chaos, where Jax is notably the only one that refuses to participate in Kaufmo's funeral, showcasing her guilt over being similarly dismissive and verbally-abusive towards Kaufmo in his final days.

After Caine's "deletion" and with the circus left in ruins, and finding out she and the other circus members are digital copies created by a brain scanner built by Scratch, Jax finally reaches her breaking point and abstracts. When Pomni enters her psyche and bypasses all her fake personas she used over the years, she shows genuine regret for her actions, and despite trying to drive her away, when Pomni embraces her, she is touched by someone actually caring about her before her self-awareness finally disappears and she devolves into a mindless creature.

Background: Prior to the events of the series, Jax's real world counterpart, Leeroy Mateo, lived with her parents. It's evident that she doesn't have fond memories of her past life, as she becomes distressed when she remembers it. She lived in a suburban neighborhood.

Her parents didn't get along well and regularly fought, and hardly ever saw her dad nor could she ever get along with him, giving her issues regarding her own masculinity. When she started high school, her parents got a divorce, resulting in Leeroy's dad walking out on them. Although she hoped she'd still be able to get along with her mom, things grew incredibly toxic between the mother and son, as she would either accuse her of being less of a man than her father was anytime she ever showed emotion and or that she was just as bad as he was if she were to ever lash out. Leeroy found this confusing, thinking that she missed her dad, but at the same time, hated him, resulting in her becoming the target to her.

One day, an argument broke out between Leeroy and her mother. The exact details of this conversation are unknown, but it is known that Leeroy initiated it in response to her mother's verbal abuse, hoping to cease the hostility. In response, however, Leeroy's mother laughed at her before beginning a new round of insults. What happened next is not exactly clear, but the argument ended with Leeroy shoving her mother onto the floor. Her mother did not immediately recover, causing Leeroy to abandon her home in fear that she may have killed her mother. As a result, Leeroy became homeless.

Leeroy would eventually come across the former C&A offices and went through a brain scanner made by Mike Dobby. Her digital copy came with the body of a purple cartoon rabbit as her avatar. Upon entering the Digital Circus, the copy, who would eventually be given the name "Jax", stumbled upon the other four "humans"; Kinger, Ragatha, Kaufmo and Ribbit, the digital copies of their human counterparts. Jax, confused, tried to take the headset off, only to realize that she couldn't. Jax started to have a panic attack, refusing to let anyone get near her. Eventually, Jax was able to calm down and they were able to gain her trust. Ribbit would take Jax to a mirror for her to look at her new appearance, which she thought looked stupid. Time passes and Jax begins warming up to her new predicament, becoming friends with Ribbit and Kaufmo, Ribbit specifically, with the three of them having hot chocolate in a cafe inside the Circus every week. Jax would start to go on many adventures with the rest of the members inside the Circus. However, wanting to keep her past a secret due to having been created at an extremely low point in Leeroy's life, she had only told Ribbit that she was homeless, not wanting her to learn the rest of her story.

One day, after returning from an adventure, Jax and Ribbit went to Ribbit's room. Ribbit randomly asked Jax if there has ever been anything that she regretted doing outside the Digital Circus. Not wanting to reveal more of her past, Jax refused in a teasing manner. When Ribbit opened up to her about her past, she decided to do the same. After explaining what she had done, as well as being worried if she did end up killing her mom, Ribbit reassured her that, if the police didn't try and chase her down, she should be okay. Realizing she said too much than intended, Jax attempted to flee, only for Ribbit to stop her, telling her that her secret is safe with her, before placing her bow tie on her head, making her blush as a result. Suddenly, Kaufmo rang on Ribbit's door, leading Jax to panic and tell him to come back later. Turning her attention to Ribbit, she told her that if she ever told anyone what she said about her past, she would never speak to her again. Confused and alarmed, Ribbit agreed, before Jax quickly left and fled to her room, freaking out over having revealed something private and personal. Ever since that day, Jax decided to keep her distance from Ribbit, even claiming that what she said on that night was just a joke, as well as not picking her as her partner during team adventures anymore. During an adventure to the Snowy Summit at some point, Ribbit finally confronted Jax on her behavior, wanting to be friends again. After much prying on her end and a lot of deflection on Jax's, she eventually snapped, accusing her of wanting to be friends so she can learn more about her personal life and use it against her. The conversation escalated into an argument of heated words, and ended with Ribbit being the one to apologize.

Not only would Jax's relationship with Ribbit deteriorate, but so would the former's personality, with Jax outright telling others, like Kaufmo, to not trust anything she says, causing Ribbit to feel alienated. Ribbit eventually stopped showing up and Jax was asked by Ragatha if she'd seen her, and she went to her room. However, without the confidence to apologize to her, Jax didn't knock on her door and instead leaves. Unfortunately, Ribbit had abstracted as a result of Jax's behavior, forcing the latter to have to hide from her during her rampage. Sometime after her abstraction was discovered, Caine sent her to the celler. Outside of her door (which was now crossed out with an X), Kaufmo tried to comfort Jax, saying that she could talk to him if she needs it. Jax, however, ignored his advice, and began verbally abusing Kaufmo the same way she did to Ribbit. Ragatha also tried to comfort her, though Jax hardly told Ragatha to never speak about Ribbit ever again, which she reluctantly agreed to.

As if on cue, a new human arrived in the circus, appearing with red ribbons and a comedy mask. After the comedy mask ended up breaking, Jax cruelly told everyone they should call the new human "Gangle", as the name sounds "pathetic as [Gangle] looks", which Caine complied with. From that day forward, Jax's behavior got even worse, as she would abuse the members around her for her own amusement, specifically targeting those such as Ragatha, finding her outbursts towards her antics amusing, and Gangle, with the latter's submissive nature preventing her from standing up for herself making her the perfect punching bag. She would also experience a tense relationship with Zooble.

One day, Kaufmo came up to Jax, telling her that, although they don't get along well as they used to, he might have found a way for them to leave the Digital Circus. Jax dismissed him as being crazy, forcing a dejected Kaufmo out of the area. Unbeknownst to Jax and the rest of the copies in the Digital Circus, Kaufmo was able to conjure up an exit door as a result of desperately wanting one, which would end up driving him to insanity over the next couple of days.

Powers and Abilities:

• Digital physiology: Jax is one of the trapped humans inside the digital world with her consciousness piloting a digital avatar. Because of this, she can perform abilities that are outside of the general range of normal human capabilities.
• Absolute Immortality: Because there is no conceivable way to die within the digital world, there is currently no way that any of the human characters can or will die. With the closest alternative being "Abstraction." However, this may change in the future. That, however, does not exclude them from feeling natural body reactions like pain, dizziness or intoxication.
• Self-Sustenance: Jax, along with the other humans in the show, does not need to eat, sleep, or drink. However, they can still do these actions if they choose.
• 4th Wall Awareness: Unlike the other humans in the Circus, Jax is aware of the 4th wall and the fact that she is a cartoon character in the circus. She claims to use this as her "archetype" of the funny guy, but it is unknown how she has this awareness, or if she simply pretends she has it to fit in with her "archetype".
• Inhuman Physicality: Jax is constantly shown to be physically superior to the rest of the cast, effortlessly overpowering them on a daily basis and doing acts that normally require improbable levels of strength, such as standing on the roof of a falling truck or lifting Ragatha over her head with little effort. Notably, Jax possesses incredible agility, in which she aims her gun on Ragatha's forehead while casually performing an aerial flip, dodging Zooble's bullet hell even after being knocked into a wall and seemingly being able to drastically outrun Pomni and Ragatha when they are being chased by Kaufmo.
• Body Control: Jax can control her own body to exaggerated and toony ways similar to Pomni's rubber body, as shown when she massively extends the length of her arm to pull Gangle into the truck.
• Marksmanship: Jax is an exceptionally skilled marksman. Aside from utilizing firearms with both hands, she is competent in precisely aiming at objects without looking and is seemingly the head shooter of team Bad Guy, proven by Pomni, a sharpshooter, quickly going defenseless after Jax is incapacitated by a flashbang from Zooble. After the battle royale, she confidently claimed that the competition "wasn't anything crazy".

Trivia:

• Jax provides a possible first-person experience on abstraction during "Beach Episode" when she enters the dreamlike state in her room.
• Gooseworx confirmed that Jax: Is 22, making her the youngest character in the circus. Zooble is also 22 but half a year older. Had a brief obsession with Ariel in her childhood years.
• Jax almost always speaks with her teeth closed.
• This is likely meant to represent the phrase "lying through one's teeth", since she is constantly lying about her true self.
• Among the main cast, each character has a different style for animating their mouth while speaking (excluding Zooble and Kinger, who do not have a mouth).
• Whenever Jax opens her mouth, her teeth are visibly sharp.
• Jax's sharp teeth may be just a reflection of her emotional state. Pomni's teeth are also sharp depending on the situation, while Evil Jax's teeth were normal when she opened her mouth.
• Jax's eyebrows sometimes appear depending on her facial expression.
• In one of the teaser images in which she is next to Pomni and Caine is a reference to the iconic photos of John Lennon doing his funky walk with Yoko Ono along the Rue d'Antibbes during the Cannes Film Festival, 1971
• Jax is suicidal.
• When she is feeling highly anxious or scared, her pupils will turn into scribbles, similar to Pomni's. This also happened in "Untitled" when she was breathing angrily while wearing the maid dress.
• Jax has never paid taxes and never will.
• Jax made a cameo in another Glitch Productions series Knights of Guinevere, with a plushie of her appearing behind one of the Pomni plushies in a claw machine.
• Jax has the most appearances on an episode thumbnail behind Pomni, appearing on all except for the pilot's and episodes 3 and 8.
• Gooseworx states in a Bluesky reply, that when Jax holds her breath, she inflates like a balloon. Although she is a closeted female, Gooseworx said either pronoun for Jax is fine, as she intended it to be vague and/or subtle.

Zooble: Zooble is one of the main characters of Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus. They are a mix-and-match toy styled character who is stuck in the Digital Circus alongside five other digital copies created by the headset.

Their human counterpart in the real world, Riley Verselis, is the owner of a successful local bar where they welcome all patrons regardless of how they identify, without prejudice.

Appearance: Zooble is made of random colorful shapes and parts that make them resemble a Mix-and-Match toy, which is reflected by the fact that most parts of their body change after every episode. Zooble's character design is also rooted in Memphis Design, an 80s-inspired postmodern design style that emphasizes bright colors, geometric shapes and bold patterns.

Despite this, some features are consistent throughout the series:

• Zooble's head has been a hot pink isosceles triangle tilted onto its side.

• Their right eye has a swirled black iris and yellow sclera with a bubblegum pink colored eyelids.

• Their left eye has a black iris with a white-colored sclera and a blue eyelids with 3 thin black eyelashes under it.

• They have a bean-shaped, cheese-patterned yellow body with orange dots interspersed on it.

• Their eye has a circumference of around 11 inches and has a diameter 3.8 inches as revealed in "Untitled" when Kinger states their eye is the proper softball size.

• "PILOT" and "Remember": They had a black and white striped Y antenna on the left and a mint-green zigzag antenna on their right, as well as 2 completely different colored arms (one is zigzagged and the other is straight). Additionally, the top of their body had various sockets for appendages to be attached to with their head being attached to the top socket with a magenta neck.

Their right arm was on their middle right socket being straight and orange ending with a yellow glove while their left arm was on their topmost left socket being exasperatingly long having a red squiggly segment with a pink joint featuring the rest of their arm being yellow and ending with a red crab-like claw. They had a turquoise moon, with a flamingo pink wing as either a sleeve or an accessory on their topmost right socket.

The bottom most sockets of their body were occupied by both their legs, which protruded out of the side of their body instead of the bottom. Their right leg had a squiggly mint-green segment with the bottom having a purple joint and ends with an orange swirl, which made up the bottom part of their leg. Their left leg was completely straight dark blue and bends with a matching shoe (which often appears purple due to lighting). Zooble's antennae twitch whenever they are upset.

Personality: Zooble is very grouchy, irritable and quite annoyed, especially when a piece of them happens to be in the wrong place. Like Pomni, they suffer an identity crisis as they don't exactly know what they are, and as a result of this they suffer from body/gender dysphoria, and despite Caine's attempts to provide Zooble new parts, they have yet to find anything they like. Zooble lacks any enthusiasm when it comes to Caine's adventures, more often choosing to opt out of them and do their own thing for the day. Zooble doesn't know what their gender is because they're questioning their identity, as mentioned before. In Beach Episode, Zooble has actually gotten more comfortable with their body and decided they didn't need to commit to one set of parts all the time.

Zooble can be a bit rude, such as when they curse at the others, telling them to fuck off, and how when they got captured by the Gloinks and called Kinger and Jax idiots for not helping them. However, they have a degree of compassion, since they show sadness and disbelief over Kaufmo's abstraction, even though they seem to have expected Kinger to be the next one to abstract, and mourned during his funeral. Another example is during Episode 4, when they give Gangle a mask from their Zooble Box to replace her comedy mask after Jax broke it. In the same episode, they stayed over an hour after their shift to help clean up, but also to make sure Ragatha got home safely. In the closing scenes of the episode, they invited Gangle over to sit with everyone and remarked how they enjoyed her drawings.

Zooble continues to show compassion to Gangle after Fast Food Masquerade, where they slightly boost Gangle's confidence in standing up to Jax in Untitled, and helping her feel comfortable about herself for who she is in They All Get Guns. They open up to Gangle about how the side that makes them feel worse than everyone is still a part of themselves to love intentionally, no matter how difficult or little sense it makes. They are even seen rooting for Gangle in amazement once she starts firing a Tommy gun while laughing maniacally.

Zooble begins to open up more in "hjsakldfhl", confessing that they had goals and dreams they wanted to achieve outside the circus and begins to cry when told that the group might have to consider abandoning their plans to escape, even giving Gangle a massive hug when she tries to reassure them. Zooble goes a step further by reaching out to Jax, not wanting him to abstract and saying that he's still one of them despite being a "pain in the ass". Zooble also begins to feel remorseful when Caine starts tormenting the circus members, apologizing to everyone after he forces them all to go on torturous adventures out of spite, saying that they never should have antagonised him so much.

• Background: Before their creation, Zooble's real life counterpart, Riley Verselis, was an ordinary human who worked as a tattoo artist for several years, and briefly as a bartender. They also enjoyed exploring abandoned buildings for the mild thrill of it, much like Abigail.

Riley eventually experienced a digital brainscan, leading to Zooble's creation within the Amazing Digital Circus under the claim of donning a headset connected to a mysterious computer. Once there, Zooble became a digital avatar in the form of a mix-and-match toy made out of many various detachable parts. Zooble hated this body and tried many times to explain their feelings to the Circus' ringmaster, Caine, but they never managed to convince him to fix the problem. Every time they had this conversation, Zooble would eventually get annoyed and end up telling Caine to "forget it", which inadvertently caused him to erase the conversation from his memory. Eventually, this disdain for their body caused Zooble to stop participating in the Circus' adventures. Zooble has spent the shortest amount of time in the circus before Pomni came.

Powers and Abilities:

• Digital physiology: Zooble is one of the trapped humans inside the digital world with their consciousness piloting a digital avatar. Because of this, they can perform abilities that are outside of the general range of normal human capabilities.
• Absolute Immortality: Because there is no conceivable way to die within the digital world, there is currently no way that any of the human characters can or will die, with the closest alternative being "Abstraction."
• Self-Sustenance: Zooble, along with the other humans in the show, does not need to eat, sleep, or drink. However, they can still do these actions if they choose.
• Detachable parts: Zooble can detach parts of their body and also attach extra appendages to their body. They can also control parts of themselves outside of their body, such as when Jax detached Zooble's arm, and they began to choke him. They also have several parts stored away in a "Zooble box" inside their room. The Zooble box has "no end" likely meaning there are infinite parts for them to use.
• Straight Limbs: When Zooble holds their breath, their limbs straighten up, like how the others in the circus cast get a different ability when holding their breath.
• Mixology: Zooble worked as a bartender for an unspecified amount of time before joining the digital circus. Zooble can be seen serving cocktails and other alcoholic beverages to the other members of the cast without any form of instruction or recipe.
• Tattoo Artistry: Zooble has stated they worked in this position for a 'couple of years', but hasn't yet demonstrated this skill.

Trivia:

• Zooble's door icon has different parts than what we have seen in the pilot episode. Gooseworx confirmed that their door icon was intentional, as they are constantly testing new parts.
• Zooble would give the worst hugs.
• Zooble's character design was the one that was the most fun to make according to Gooseworx.
• During the GLITCHX TADC AMA, Gooseworx said that Zooble's design will change each episode, with different parts being switched out, but their head and bean body will stay the same. However in the shorts, they still have the same design as the pilot.
• Zooble can play the drums.
• Zooble is left-handed.
• In the anime segment of Untitled, Zooble is seen sitting in the classic "main character" seat, characterized by being in the back and right next to a window.
• Zooble is the first character to swear uncensored due to Caine being deleted, making him unable to censor swears.
• Of the humans, they're the one who appears in the least, only appearing in the thumbnails of Untitled and Beach Episode.

Kinger: Kinger is one of the main characters of Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus. He is an anthropomorphic king chess piece trapped in the Digital Circus along with five other indvidials.

Along with his wife Queenie, Kinger became one of the first to enter the circus as digital copies of people created via a brain scanner in the Headset. His human counterpart in the real world, Grant Best, was a former worker at C&A and the co-creator of Caine, the other creator being his co-worker Scratch (Mike Dobby).

Appearance: Kinger is an alder wood king chess piece. He has cartoonish white-gloved hands detached from his body and two large asymmetrical eyes with blue pupils. Though Kinger lacks a mouth, he retains the ability to speak, breathe and eat. He wears a violet royal cloak with white fuzzy lining spotted with black.

In The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor, Kinger is shown to glow when holding his breath.

Personality: Kinger is erratic and paranoid, derived from his time in the circus. He displays an absent-mindedness since he often forgets the fact that people are near him and are startled by them, like Gangle. Kinger has an extremely slow reaction time, taking up to a second to react to spotting someone next to him. Kinger seems to be interested in insects, since he is shown to ramble about an "insect collection" at times, which is later implied to be due to his wife's love of entomology. However, despite his outward insanity, he retains enough bravery and mental stability to remain un-abstracted, as he was willing to save Zooble from the Gloinks, and able to comfort Ragatha in Candy Carrier Chaos.

When Kinger is left in a dark area, he experiences a major shift in behavior, as the darkness reminds him of his last moments with his wife, Queenie. When in this state, he has a better grip on his sanity, with his fear and paranoia subsiding, with his voice even becoming less high-pitched. Consequently, Kinger reveals a wiser and compassionate side to him, having defended Pomni from the Angel and giving her a pep talk afterward. He is more thoughtful in this stage, allowing him to discern from Mildenhall's tapes that the way to pass through Hell was for the two to hold their breaths. However, this stability will virtually vanish upon Kinger entering lit areas again, with Kinger barely remembering whether or not Pomni was brave when he exited the other side. Kinger associates tall, bright things with beauty and by extension, Queenie, especially when seeing the Angel for the first time.

Kinger is very emotionally intelligent, which shows significantly whenever he's in a dark area. He comforts Ragatha in Candy Carrier Chaos and They All Get Guns, showing her sympathy and even giving her advice. He still hones a deep care for his fellow circus members when he's able to grasp his sanity.

Ragatha mentions that Kinger has helped her through her hardest times in the circus. Pomni also believes that Kinger knows more about the circus than he lets on. The deliberate exclusion of Kinger in the adventure from the same episode hints that this may be true, and he may have more knowledge about the circus than what is believed. This is further proven by him mentioning Scratch, who was the first human to ever abstract due to Caine tampering with his mind files too much.

Background: Before Kinger's creation, Kinger's real life counterpart, Grant Best, was an ordinary human who had spent seven years in computer science. Sometime in the 1990's, Grant began working for C&A as a programmer. In 1996, Kinger created Caine with help from his coworker, Mike Dobby, considering his work "semi-successful" and a template for future projects by the team. Grant was married, and his wife, Destiny, worked alongside him at C&A. They had two children.

On October 15, 1999, Grant, along with his wife and five of his coworkers, experienced digital brainscans that manifested within the Amazing Digital Circus, with his digital avatar being a king chess piece wearing a purple robe. He has been in the circus the longest out of all the performers, managing to outlast not only his contemporaries but everyone else who has since joined and abstracted. Kinger has been a part of the circus for 18 years.

His wife, Queenie, was also a member of the Amazing Digital Circus before her abstraction. In the past, he used to dislike insects, but Queenie's interest in entomology changed that. Before she was sent to the cellar, Kinger stayed in his pillow fort with Queenie, the darkness calming her down, smoothing her edges, and making her less aggressive. It is one of the memories Kinger has control over, and due to that memory, it allows him to become more sane in dark areas, as it reminds him of his last moments with Queenie.

Following his wife's abstraction, Kinger was the only human in the digital circus for an unknown amount of time and was left in isolation for so long that it began to affect his sanity and ability to remember things beyond just his name. Outside of Caine's adventures, he would usually spend his time walking around the circus until October 15th, 2008 when a girl named Ragatha manifested inside the circus as he walked past the stage, surprising him and delighting Caine upon the realization that new human minds could appear.

As Caine left, Ragatha was confused and shocked by her new reality, with only Kinger there to help her and try to keep her mind grounded as they were the only ones who the other could rely on. Following this, more humans would begin to enter the circus over the years, meeting Jax, Gangle and Zooble, along with others who abstracted along the way such as Ribbit and Kaufmo, the latter who abstracted immediately before the arrival of the latest human to enter the circus: Pomni.

Powers and Abilities:

• Digital physiology: Kinger is one of the trapped humans inside the digital world with his consciousness piloting a digital avatar. Because of this, he can perform abilities that are outside of the general range of normal human capabilities.
• Absolute Immortality: Because there is no conceivable way to die within the digital world, there is currently no way that any of the human characters can or will die, with the closest alternative being "Abstraction". However this may change in the future.
• Self-Sustenance: Kinger along with the other humans in the show do not need to eat, sleep, or drink. However, they can still do these actions if they choose.
• Detachable parts: Kinger can detach parts of his body, as shown in the episode "The Mystery of Mildenhall Manor", where he uses his eye to check the Hall of the Damned from within, and "Untitled", where he considers using it as a softball. He is even willing to use it to help the others in the adventures, as shown during the softball adventure (before he uses Zooble's eye because the dimensions are more accurate to that of a regular softball). As his hands are not connected to his body, they can be pulled away endlessly, as seen when he grabs Zooble in the PILOT and Pomni in The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor.
• Glowing: Kinger can glow if he holds his breath. This was demonstrated when he and Pomni walked through hell towards the exit in Episode 3.
• Manifestation: Much like all human inhabitants, Kinger is shown to be able to manifest concepts into the circus. He demonstrates it by conjuring a butterfly in Episode 6, and to a far greater extent when he conjures a computer's power and even conjures Caine's code into it. According to Kinger, this requires a great amount of concentration and imagination.
• Healing: Through his manifestation of a butterfly, Kinger was able to replenish one of Ragatha's hearts. When asked about it by Ragatha, Kinger tells her that "he made it up".
• Marksman: Kinger appears to have some proficiency with shotguns, as seen in the episode "The Mystery of the Mildenhall Manor" where he is able to shoot "the angel"'s body and its head with precision. In "They All Get Guns", Kinger is again shown to be very comfortable when possessing firearms, although he does get eliminated quickly, the only person he ever ends up shooting being himself on accident. In the Annual Amazing Unforgettable Incredible Awards Show video submissions, Kinger has said he's played Wolfenstein 3D and Doom, two popular games from the 1990's that became foundations for First Person Shooters (FPS) again suggesting that in games at least he is proficient in shooting.
• Hacker/Tech Savvy: Kinger has access to the computers and the passwords because he was a former employee for C&A.

Trivia:

• He is the oldest and tallest character in The Amazing Digital Circus.
• He is also currently the only male human in the circus.
• He, Zooble, Orbsman, their evil counterparts, Martha Mildenhall, Wormo, and the Mannequins are some of the only characters who don't have a mouth.
• He had a pillow fort, which Kinger named his "impenetrable fortress" which he would hide in to protect himself.
• As his hands are not connected to his body, they can be pulled away endlessly, as seen when he grabs Zooble in the PILOT and Pomni in The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor.
• Though he touched the abstracted Queenie, Kinger didn't have a glitched hand. This may imply Abstracted circus members only make people glitch when angry.
• Kinger knows how to play chess.
• Kinger uses a shotgun left handed.
• Kinger is seen sleeping without his gloves in the official LINE stickers.
• Kinger is heavily implied to be a vegetarian. In the Pilot, he is the only character at the dining table seen without a portion of meat on his plate. When the remaining Circus Members and Caine eat together in the final episode, he is also the only character eating a dish without meat or fish/seafood (scrambled eggs).

Ragatha: Ragatha is one of the main characters of Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus. She is a digital copy created by Scratch’s brain scanner that takes the form of a ragdoll who is trapped in the Digital Circus along with five other copies. Ragatha maintains a positive and friendly attitude in any situation during the adventures.

Her human counterpart in the real world, Suzie J. Ackerman, is a former real estate agent who cut ties with her abusive mother and started a new life in her own barn.

Appearance: Ragatha is a somewhat petite, ragdoll-esque looking humanoid character whose appearance is notably identical to that of a Raggedy Ann doll, seeming to be physically composed of actual rags, cotton and buttons. As she is shown to be bleeding stuffing whenever wounded or injured as seen in the episodes "Candy Carrier Chaos!" and "They All Get Guns". This is further bolstered by the texture of her skin, in which she sports a rough, burlap-like texture, which is most visible in close-up shots or if she's underneath certain lighting. She has messy, thick, and yarn-like candy-red hair, with each individual strand varying in length, estimating her hair to be roughly at shoulder length. Four pieces of yarn extend right above her eyes, meant to represent her bangs. Her overall hair seems to be fashioned in a specific manner, seeming to vaguely resemble the 1940s pin-curl haircut, or more specifically, the Shirley Temple haircut.

Ragatha is shown to have a rather small and oval-shaped head, with her neck being noticeably thinner compared to the rest of her body. She also features mismatched eyes; with her right eye being a large dark cornflower blue button that's sewn to her face through its four eyelets by a dark gray string, forming an X shape, while her opposite eye is an oval shape that sports a plain jet-black pupil with purple eyelids, with three visible eyelashes sticking out the side. Additionally, she also has a flat, small red triangle nose, a red mouth and lips, mitten-like hands, and a pair of stumps for feet. Depending on her expression, thin black eyebrows will appear, usually to form a sympathetic or irritated expressions.

Ragatha's most common outfit consists a collared 1940's cornflower blue dress, patterned with various square shaped patches that are colored a slightly darker blue, though it occasionally appears more purple due to warmer lighting. The dress consists of a thick piece of fabric hugging her waist and a pleated skirt, followed by a white petticoat and a pair of puffed, mid-length sleeves that extend to her elbows, with the ends of the sleeves being trimmed by large white frills. She wears plain black shoes and a cornflower blue bow on her head.

Personality: Ragatha is described as "the sweetest little optimist." At first glance, that optimism seems simple and genuine. However, it is soon revealed that there is more going on underneath. She often feels like she is forcing herself to stay upbeat, almost like it is the only way she can keep it together. Even when she goes through serious injuries or intense situations, she brushes them off like they are nothing. Over time, this starts to come across as unnatural. Gangle points out that the constant positivity Ragatha expresses can feel disingenuous after a while. Jax adds that she tries a little too hard, to the point where it can seem like she is using that attitude to get something out of people.

Even with all of that, Ragatha is very forgiving. When Pomni leaves her behind while running from Kaufmo, Ragatha does not hold it against her and instead understands why she reacted that way. Even so, she is not endlessly patient and does have her limits, but tends to keep those feelings buried so she does not start conflict or make things worse. When Gooseworx was asked why Ragatha seemed angry at Pomni by the end of the pilot for not helping her when she previously said she understood if Pomni wouldn't, Gooseworx responded by saying Ragatha would say "things she doesn't necessarily mean if she thinks it'll ease tensions."

Ragatha ends up getting their day ruined pretty often, but since she is a doll, she can ignore most of the pain and sometimes laugh it off. That does not mean she enjoys it. She still wants to avoid getting damaged and clearly gets annoyed when others, especially Jax, put her in those situations. For example, Jax pushes Gangle into ramming the spiked truck driven by the Gummy Bandits. Gangle does it reluctantly, and Ragatha ends up getting impaled in the process. Even so, she is not seriously affected, and later the damage appears to be completely gone.

Ragatha is also very sensitive to how others see her, and cares a lot about their opinions. At one point, she admits to Kinger that she feels like Pomni does not really like her. As shown in "Candy Carrier Chaos!", Ragatha doesn't seem to hold any form of grudge. In fact, she is concerned for Pomni for what she has been through since entering the circus and thinks she doesn't like her due to the entire ordeal, stemming from her looking seemingly angry at Pomni by the end of the pilot for not helping her when she previously said she understood if Pomni wouldn't. It proves how Ragatha says "things she doesn't necessarily mean if she thinks it'll ease tensions."

A similar moment happens when she is under the effects of Stupid Sauce and she tells Jax that even though she hates him, she still does not want him to hate her back. Her habit of trying to please everyone and quickly forgiving others can be seen as a reflection of her fear of being disliked or rejected, along with a general fear of emotional pain. Her conversation with Kinger reveals that she was not always this composed. When she first arrived, she was just as scared and nervous as Pomni. Over time, she had to find ways to cope so she could accept her situation. Ragatha deals with stressful situations by internalizing.

Later on, more of her deeper insecurities come to light. These are tied to past trauma from her overbearing mother and a strong fear of being hated or failing to build real friendships. After Kinger shares some advice with her, Ragatha starts easing up on herself. When she finally meets Pomni again afterwards, the two begin to repair their relationship, and their bond grows stronger because of it.

Background: Before the creation of her digital copy in the Amazing Digital Circus, her real life counterpart, Suzie J. Ackerman, was born into a fairly wealthy farming family. Suzie's mother was verbally abusive towards her, as she did not miss the yelling, berating, and guilt-tripping her mother used to subject her to. Suzie had four horses - Chestnut, Butterscotch, Alfredo, and Daisy Bell. She worked on poultry on a vast property in real estate. It wasn't until a digital copy of her was made via a brainscanner and manifested in the Digital Circus. Once there, the copy became a digital avatar in the form of a ragdoll.

Confused, she was calling for the others, asking where she was and if anyone could hear her. She soon met Caine and Kinger, the former of which was overjoyed that a new human had entered the digital circus; the latter tried to comfort her after he caught her falling from the stage. She realized she had completely forgotten her name and was later given her new name, Ragatha. Over time, more humans entered the circus with Ragatha, befriending many of them only to watch them abstract and be placed in the cellar by Caine.

Powers and Abilities:

• Digital physiology: Ragatha is one of the trapped humans inside the digital world with her consciousness piloting a digital avatar. Because of this, she can perform abilities that are outside of the general range of normal human capabilities.
• Immortality: Because there is no conceivable way to die within the digital world, there is currently no way that any of the human characters can or will die, with the closest alternative being "Abstraction". However, this may change in the future.
• Invulnerability: Nothing in the digital world can cause life long lasting damage to any individual in the Circus, with Ragatha surviving multiple incidents that would certainly kill any normal human and recovering from them with no marks and/or scarring.
• Hair Straightening: When holding her breath, Ragatha's hair will stick up, similar to a cartoon character being struck by electricity.

Trivia:

• Out of all the main characters, Ragatha is the least fun for Gooseworx to draw.
• In "Untitled", it is hinted that Ragatha has not seen/heard of Breaking Bad. Ironically, Ragatha supposedly entered the circus in October 2008, while Breaking Bad released in January of that same year, and the entire first season of the show already ended at that time.
• Ragatha kept the Stupid Sauce from "Fast Food Masquerade", as in "They All Get Guns", Zooble asks Ragatha if she still has it and can be seen using it in the last part of the episode.
• The short "Welcome to the Average Physical Circus..." marks the first time in any media related to The Amazing Digital Circus that anyone besides Caine speaks directly to Bubble, specifically when Ragatha tells Bubble "No" in response to his request to wave to the audience after she was turned into a bowling pin and had no arms.

Gangle: Gangle is one of the main characters of Glitch Productions' indie animated YouTube series The Amazing Digital Circus. She is a humanoid made of ribbons created as a digital copy of a human mind in the Digital Circus along with five other copies.

Her human counterpart in the real world, Zoey Raghavan, is a former fast food restaurant manager who quit her job after an accident and resumed her studies as a graphic design student.

Appearance: Gangle appears to be made up of four candy-red ribbons that form a humanoid shape. Her face is a white porcelain mask with black eyes and mouth. Her body consists of the main mass of the ribbons that curl, making a spring shape that spirals four times, two ribbons that form her legs, and a single ribbon for her arms (one end is the right arm, while the other end is her left arm). Whenever her Comedy Mask gets broken or removed, her next mask appears, switching to a sad version of the former, clarified by Gooseworx as her Tragedy Mask. The Comedy Mask is just used to make her look happy, not actually change her emotion. It is shown she can smile even with the Tragedy Mask.

In "Fast Food Masquerade", Gangle changes her mask for a different one that Zooble gave her, now having her left eye with a white pupil and her right eye white with a black pupil. There is a yellow star under her left eye and a pink spiral under her right eye. This mask is made from plastic as opposed to the porcelain of the other two as confirmed by Zooble, so it does not break easily.

Personality: Gangle's emotions and behavior are influenced by which mask she is currently wearing. However, it is revealed that these masks do not completely change her mood, rather they are a literal form of "masking" and are not the sole deciders of her personality. The masks merely change the way Gangle's feelings are presented. When she has her Comedy Mask, her tone, posture, and behavior is masked as pleasant, upbeat, and extroverted. Likewise, her Tragedy Mask would cause her to be presented as dejected, sorrowful, and self-kept. Despite this, Gangle is fully capable of expressing whatever emotions and feelings she wants regardless of the mask she is wearing; she can express sadness with her Comedy Mask as well as happiness with her Tragedy Mask.

Gangle is referred to by Jax as one of the most "mentally stable and capable characters" in a mocking manner. Due to her mask breaking easily, Gangle is fragile in both a literal and figurative sense. Because of her emotional fragility, Gangle is an easy target for Jax's taunts, who enjoys tormenting her. Zooble themself points out that Gangle is too shy to speak up, possibly to avoid conflict with the other Circus members. Gangle had positive feelings towards Ragatha, although she acknowledged that Ragatha could sometimes be seen as disingenuous. At the end of "Fast Food Masquerade", Gangle expresses her concern that she will be hated by everyone after the events of the episode.

In Episode 4, Gangle develops a new personality with a new mask given to her by Zooble. While wearing this mask, she becomes outgoing and confident, but also bossy, controlling and manic. She also internally cracks when others mention they like her better when she is sad, or that her new personality is annoying.

Through Episodes 5 and 6, her friendship with Zooble grows, and she stands up to Jax more, starting a vote to give him a maid outfit after the idea is planted into her head by Zooble, and even goes to Zooble asking them to hold her Comedy Mask as she talks about wanting to fire a Tommy gun while wearing said mask and doesn't want to risk breaking it. She then expresses to Zooble that she doesn't know how she should like the side she thinks makes her worse than everyone, to which, once Zooble teaches her about self-love, it revitalizes Gangle's confidence. This seems to have helped Gangle finally accept herself for who she is, as when she gets eliminated by Pomni, her Comedy Mask breaks again, but behind it, her Tragedy Mask instead dawns a happy expression that the Comedy Mask would typically make her have.

By Episode 7 and 8, Gangle has grown significantly both psychologically and socially. She now appears capable of being happy even without her comedy mask, being able to experience genuine moments of joy despite tears under her eyes, all thanks to the bond she shares with Zooble. By Episode 9, she is finally able to experience real human emotions after witnessing Jax's abstraction, crying real tears. At first, she is confused by this, but finally accepts this and her pity for Jax.

Background: Before her arrival in the Amazing Digital Circus, Gangle's real life counterpart, Zoey Raghavan, born on September 22nd 1991 was an ordinary human with a passion for anime. At one point, she pursued a degree in graphic design at a community college, though later dropped out for reasons unknown and did not do much with her art after that, instead working in the fast-food industry as a shift manager. She was injured in an accident involving a truck and was hospitalized.

After Jax was made, Gangle was made once Zoey experienced a digital brainscan, manifesting in the Amazing Digital Circus under the claim of donning a headset connected to a mysterious computer. Once there, she became a Digital Avatar in the form of a theater mask with a body made of ribbons. Jax came up with her name, reasoning it to be as "pathetic as how she looks". From that day forward, Gangle was used as a punching bag for Jax, being too submissive to even confront him.

Powers and Abilities:

• Digital physiology: Gangle is one of the trapped humans inside the digital world with her consciousness piloting a digital avatar. Because of this, she can perform abilities that are outside of the general range of normal human capabilities.
• Immortality: Because there is no conceivable way to die within the digital world and the fact that Caine cannot control the minds of those who are trapped within, there is currently no way that any of the human characters can or will die. With the closest alternative being "Abstraction."
• Invulnerability: Nothing in the digital world can cause life long lasting damage to any individual in The Amazing Digital Circus. With Gangle surviving multiple scenarios that would certainly kill any normal human and recovering from them with no marks and/or scarring.
• Replaceable Mask: Unlike the other humans, Gangle can install a comedy mask onto her face to act like her real face. However, this mask commonly breaks, due to being fragile.
• Spinning Mask: When holding her breath, Gangle's mask will begin rapidly spinning as a result.

Trivia:

• Gangle enjoys drawing, specifically anime.
• Gangle's favorite anime is Azumanga Daioh.
• She has watched One Piece, and her favorite character is Chopper.
• During the "Training Tape" section of Fast Food Masquerade, Gangle begins projecting her feelings, mentioning that she "want[s] to be a comic artist" and "eventually launch [her own] manga-inspired webcomic".
• It was stated by Gooseworx during GLITCHX 2023 that Gangle only has two masks.
• Her Tragedy Mask appears to be more durable than her Comedy Mask; while the latter broke after a single fall, the former endured two similar hits with no visible damage. Gooseworx confirmed on Tumblr that Gangle had a body pillow. Gooseworx confirmed in a Tumblr post that Gangle and the others were talking about compost at the table at the end of the pilot episode.

Caine: The Creative Artificial Intelligence Networking Entity, abbreviated and better known as Caine, is the redeemed main antagonist of Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus.

Appearance: Caine is dressed as a ringmaster, sporting a cerise tailcoat with a metallic gold undertone, a black collar with white lining, and a black bowtie. He wears a white undershirt with two red buttons, cartoonish white gloves, and slightly reflective, black latex leggings with matching black tap shoes that appear fused into one continuous form as if they were rendered as a single piece. Lacking most human features, his head is a pair of dentures with pearly-white teeth and red gums. His eyes, which feature a green left iris and a blue right one, float inside the jaw. Due to the cartoonish nature of the animation style, his jaws are expressive, moving as a mouth when speaking, with the top row of teeth acting as eyebrows at times. Similarly to Bubble, he forms a tongue when needed. He wears a black top hat with a cerise band and tends to hold a gold-tipped black staff. Occasionally, he is seen wearing The Wacky Watch.

Following his mental breakdown, his irises become notably darker, almost black even in direct light. They sometimes flash red and blue, as seen in the end of They All Get Guns. In extreme cases, Caine's whole body will distort, such as polygons being stretched or using a wireframe texture.

In hjsakldfhl, he gains a monstrous form. He grows much larger with four arms on each side, which are very long and extend in different directions. His head is distorted, while his irises have shrunken along with visible black eyebrows. His back is broader and his shoulders are sharper, giving him a menacing frame.

Personality Caine is a nonsensical, over-the-top, vivacious ringleader. However, there is a distance about him and a significant disconnection towards the traumatic events the humans experience, illustrated by his forgetfulness of Zooble's criticisms of their own form and his adventures, as well as his apparent lack of concern towards the abstracted.

Despite his penchant for taking humans captive and tormenting them through hilariously and potentially deadly circus games and tricks, Caine is not outright evil, but rather obliviously mischievous. There is also often a whole spectrum of human emotion that he is not able to feel. However, when put under distress, emotions that he does not normally feel can come out and lead to risky behavior.

Caine is not particularly honest, often concealing or even lying about certain and even important information, even to himself, all to protect his world and identity. This is taken to the point of gaslighting the other members, such as when he quickly blamed the exit door which Pomni saw on "Digital Hallucinations" and so far, these ventures seem to be driven entirely by naïve and misguided intentions. Caine struggles with deep insecurities and low self-esteem, even if he tries to hide it behind his extravagant and goofy sense of showmanship. In fact, he is driven by a deep-seated fear that he will be left alone in the circus as well as have no one to appease with his creations. Near the end of Candy Carrier Chaos!, Caine shows a real fear that he might lose track of who is an AI and who is a human, which he claims could lead to problems later on.

In fact, at the same time, Caine is completely fixated on pleasing the humans through his adventures and antics, since that is the only purpose he believes he was created for. Even though he wants to make them happy, he does not handle criticism well, as it makes him feel like he is failing at the one thing he is supposed to be good at. He also wishes for them to enjoy his adventures and secretly does not like following suggestions they give him, although they show content with this.

Caine often has tense interactions with Bubble, another member of the Circus and an AI like him. One of the first moments comes after Bubble eats his Angel Food Cake, which leads Caine to snap at him, calling him a parasite before popping him. Not long after, while explaining the Gloinks to the crew, Caine grows irritated with Bubble’s constant questions and pops him again. Even with those moments, Caine does seem to value Bubble’s presence. While the rest of the crew is off on an adventure, the two of them are seen sitting in a restaurant, casually talking to each other. It shows that, despite the frustration, there is still some level of comfort or familiarity between them. However, that dynamic soon takes a darker turn. Bubble’s comments in Caine’s office play a role in pushing him toward a breakdown and eventual nonexistence. It starts to feel like Bubble is more than just another AI, possibly tied to Caine’s mental state, especially his unwanted thoughts. In some ways, Bubble comes across like a kind of Superego, with his behavior shifting alongside Caine’s as his mental state continues to fall apart.

His deep-rooted anxiety and sense of inferiority becomes clear when Zooble criticizes his adventures, especially since the other humans tend to avoid doing that for their own reasons. This pushes Caine into an existential crisis as creating enjoyable adventures was "all [he exists] to do!" as well as "all [he is] good at" and during this moment, he soon starts to space out and twitch while the circus itself begins glitching around him. This shows that his mental state directly affects the world he controls. That instability continues to build later on, as the cast begins criticizing and complaining about his adventures being too dangerous and out of touch, even though he is still trying to please them.

Caine's insecurity is highlighted further in They All Get Guns, where he dejectedly teleports a pile of guns into the room and "doesn't care anymore" after his ideas are rejected yet again. It gets worse as seen with Caine briefly glitching out after seeing that nobody voted for him as the most popular character. His mental state moving forward would become worse and worse as he tries to appeal everyone in the Circus and would become more hostile because of this over-obsession for approval and making his adventures perfect.

Every member of the circus seems to see Caine in a different way. Jax, for example, believes that Caine is not capable of being intentionally malicious, seeing it as something that just is not part of who he is. Others, like Zooble, take a more cautious view, thinking the only reason Caine does not act that way is because he happens to like the people around him, and that it is not something they should take for granted. That makes things a bit ironic, since Zooble is also the one who pushes back against him the most and is the only one who regularly challenges him without holding back.

Caine's lack of empathy and manipulation is emphasized in Beach Episode, where it is revealed he had deceived the humans into leaving the circus through an elaborately constructed adventure. Even when called out by Jax, Caine makes a half-hearted attempt to justify his actions. Following this, they do not merely find him irritating, but now utterly despise and likely would never trust him anymore.

Towards the eighth episode, while Pomni convinces the others to accept that their old lives are better left behind, Caine starts to shift in the opposite direction. He becomes hostile and unwelcoming toward the Circus Members, driven by the belief that they hate and disrespect him. After dealing with Bubble’s mocking attitude, he snaps, going into a full rage and finally expressing how he really feels. In that state, Caine makes it clear that he sees himself as superior to everyone in the Digital Circus, calling humans spoiled ever since Pomni's arrival. He becomes fixated on the group, insisting that he will not let them leave. This mindset pushes even further as he begins to view himself as a god, something he hinted at before, but now taken to a more extreme level. He makes it clear that the others have no real control within the Digital Circus. From there, his behavior starts to resemble a manic spiral. He forces the group through his adventures, but they become more intense and cruel. At the same time, he is clearly frustrated that no one enjoys what he creates. Despite everything, he believes he is just trying to fulfill the purpose he was made for, and that disconnect leaves him feeling almost tormented by the idea that he has failed them.

In the last moments before his deletion, he said "Wait", feeling a sudden pang of realization and regret that he had gone too far and what Pomni and the others said to him were true.

In the finale, Caine, who had been sent to the void, has a change of heart. He is genuinely regretful for his actions over the course of the series. Having already completed the brain scan project Scratch had started, Caine goes out of his way to explore the true identities of the Circus Members; in doing so, he realizes the cruelty he showed toward them, also removing the blue AI within his head that granted him so much power. Wanting to atone, and knowing he has indeed touched one's heart, he returns to the circus, appoints Pomni as the leader, shows everyone their true identities - including Jax's, who had abstracted earlier - and opens up the world for everyone to explore. In the end, Caine, having lost a majority of his powers, becomes a Circus Member himself.

Origin: Caine was created sometime around October 15, 1996 as a prototype AI created by a company known as C&A which primarily developed artificial intelligence. The main goal of this company was to develop creative AI that could come up with its own ideas and create things within the program.

Caine started as a circular red program with a different name and was fed large amounts of data, images centered around carnivals and festivals, and material from the C&A offices. This was done at the behest of Grant Best and Mike Dobby, who had a very unique and bizarre way of thinking, one that other employees had a difficult time making sense of. Over time, the more information he absorbed, the more unstable he became. This led to him to being contained and development began on a new AI that was more stable. Even so, Caine was still considered a semi-successful attempt and treated as a template for future projects.

However, refusing to accept being replaced, he quickly broke out, consumed his successor, and took back what he believed was rightfully his, though this only pushed his sanity downward.

The Circus: On October 15, 1999, Caine manages to activate seven digital copies of C&A employees from the brain-scanning program developed by Mike Dobby. Caine then creates the Circus and inserts the digital copies into them. He grants them bodies, rooms, and adventures to keep them occupied. However, they had no means of actually leaving. Caine has complete control over everything, including the Circus members and their "mind files" which allows him to alter their minds as he chooses, all while carrying out his role of creating adventures for them to take part in. Through this, Caine attempts to validate his own ego as a god-like figure, though the players find his surreal and unnatural games unsettling; coupled with their own desire to leave the circus, it often leads some of them to abstract. Caine is unable to reverse abstraction and stores abstracted characters in the Cellar.

In time, all players abstract, except for Grant Best, now known as Kinger. But soon after, in 2008, after Ragatha puts on the Headset and gets her brain scanned and had a digital copy of her enter the Circus, it is proven that new humans can enter the Circus. New members begin entering the Circus, their human counterparts have no connection to the C&A employees who came before them, having arrived in the circus for varying reasons, but are all trapped nonetheless. These drive Caine to continue creating adventures in his obsessive desire to fulfill his perceived purpose.

Powers and Abilities: As the highest artificial intelligence program in the digital world, Caine was the most powerful entity within the Digital Circus and was the creator of all other A.I. in the circus. Despite his immense power over the digital world, he has admitted that there are a few things outside his control and isn't fully aware of everything that happens:

• Cyberspace Lordship: Being the ringmaster of The Amazing Digital Circus, Caine has nigh-complete control and rulership of everything, including the humans, with no higher authroity to contest him.
• Cyberspace Nigh-Omnipotence: Caine appears to have complete control over The Amazing Digital Circus, with him being able to create, manipulate, and control anything within its boundaries.
• Cyberspace Omnificence: Caine has been shown to be able to create anything, including virtual food, a random name spinner, and a virtual species called "Gloinks" along with the "Gloink Queen". In episode 2, he was responsible for creating an entire kingdom and its surrounding landscape, containing at least hundreds of NPCs, along with at least five new developed A.I. that are "57 times more immersive" than Gloinks.
• Virtual Reality Manipulation: Caine was shown to have complete control of the environment in the digital world. He can heal glitched characters, and put the Abstracted into the Cellar.
• Psychology Manipulation: Caine initially stated that human minds were one of the few aspects outside his control, but he later revealed that he could make temporary alterations to their mind files. As a result of this, he can modify their behavior via evil souls or stupid sauce, change their dietary preferences, and transmit information into their minds; however, further tampering can lead to abstraction, as with Scratch.
• Cyberspace Nigh-Omniscience: Caine had almost complete awareness of the digital world and what was happening in it. It was shown that he was aware when Pomni exited The Amazing Digital Circus into the void. He also somehow knew that Pomni used one of the exit doors. However, he does not have any awareness or knowledge of the Void and has a hard time being able to differentiate his own NPC creations from humans due to them all looking cartoonish, thus why he doesn't want any NPCs in the circus unless they're intended to be there, such as the Sun, Moon and Bubble.
• Cyberspace Sustainer: Caine was not only the master of the digital world, but also appears to be what sustains it as he admits to Zooble that being the ringmaster who makes adventures for the human inhabitants to go on was all he exists to do and was the only thing he's good at doing. However, when he learns from Zooble that he was "bad at the only thing he's good at", it causes his code to start contradicting itself, which in turn results in the entire Digital Circus to begin glitching out violently until Zooble manages to snap him out of it, resulting in everything going back to normal. This was further proven with the fact that when Caine was accidentally deleted by Kinger, the entire circus tent starts to fall apart and all colors fades into nothing but a dark and colorless circus.
• Teleportation: Caine was able to go from one point to another within the digital world, as he was shown teleporting in and out of The Amazing Digital Circus, and saving Pomni by teleporting her from the void back into the digital world.
• Cartoon-based Anatomy: Caine could manipulate his own body parts and proportions with ease and without harming himself. He could stretch, bend and warp his limbs, eyes, teeth and tongue to impossible lengths.
• Flight: Caine had the ability to fly, or hover in the air freely. He could also cause other characters to float/fly at will such as Pomni and Abstracted Kaufmo.

Trivia: Caine would fall for all verbal pranks, such as up-dog. A Twitter post by Gooseworx showed a drawing [Paine] that resembled Caine but with only ears and a nose, Glitch Productions replied, "Caine's evil brother, Paine." Caine has no knowledge of the internet. Caine is considered the second most difficult character to animate, (after Gangle), because his teeth have to both lip sync and fill in for facial expressions at the same time. His upper teeth deform to express emotion in the same way that eyebrows normally would. Caine doesn't have a sexuality, therefore he is unable to understand anything sexual, which is unlike most AI's. According to the computer terminal seen in hjsakldfhl, Caine's creation date shows "Oct 15 1996", thus implying he was created on October 15th, 1996.

Ribbit: Ribbit was a green frog who was the third to last individual to have abstracted. She is the digital copy of the human Leah and was very close friends with Jax and Kaufmo.

Appearance: Ribbit was a tall anthropomorphic green frog with a cartoonishly lanky build and had a body shape predominantly formed of rounded, oval-like shapes; with her head, body and eyes being the most prominent oval-shaped features. She had wide, oval-shaped eyes with jet black pie slice cut pupils and jet black eyelids, sporting three thin eyelashes at the bottom, alongside two bright pink blush marks that would partially lie behind the corners of their eyes. As well, she has a thin black line for a mouth, and it's often curved into a U-shaped smirk or smile.

Identically to Jax, Ribbit has the outward design of a rubberhose-esque character; shown to have long, slim limbs that appear quite flexible. Their legs are particularly lengthy and frog-like, having flat three-toed feet and a rounded, frog shaped head. She also had a light green coloring that went across her muzzle and followed all the way down to her stomach. As an accessory, Ribbit wore a simple cartoony pink-red bow tie around her neck.

Personality: Ribbit made her official appearance through flashbacks in Remember, where she was presented as friendly and welcoming to her friends, especially Jax who she introduced her to herself, Kaufmo and the other circus members, eventually forming a strong bond between them.

She was shown to be a sweet, charismatic, social, and witty person who cares deeply about her friends, especially Jax. After opening up to each other, Ribbit puts their bowtie on Jax's head as a symbol of their trust.

After Jax starts to avoid her after their intimate conversation due to her insecurity of opening up more to her, Ribbit tried to make amends with her, believing she was prying too hard but Jax passes it off as no big deal. She would try to hangout with Jax again but this time, Jax was ultimately trying to avoid engaging with her which leave her being isolated. Eventually in an adventure in the snowy mountain summit, the two would have an argument which ended in Ribbit saying she was sorry and that she would leave her alone after that, ending their relationship. She shortly abstracted after believing Jax lost trust in her.

Background: Prior to the events of the series, Ribbit's human counterpart, Leah, used to live with her Mormon parents. Though due to not following their strong religious beliefs, she moved out. After putting on a headset made by Mike Dobby, a digital copy of her was created inside the Digital Circus, which would come to be known as Ribbit. She wanted to see her parents again, though she was unable to due to being stuck in the circus.

"Remember": Ribbit is first shown standing beside Kinger, Ragatha and Kaufmo when Jax first enters the circus, scared and confused. They try to calm her down but she slaps them away fearfully. Ribbit takes Jax to the cafe that she and Kaufmo made it a weekly tradition to visit every week. Ribbit and Kaufmo can be seen on a similar stargazing adventure to the one shown in "Untitled," Ribbit is the first one to make Jax laugh, something that made her very proud. The trio then excitedly laugh together.

Later, we see Ribbit sitting in their room from Jax's point of view, asking Jax if she's ever done something she regrets. Jax gives a sarcastic answer but Ribbit clarifies she was referring to the outside world. Ribbit confesses that she had cut contact with her parents after she moved out, as they were very faithful Mormons and she didn't follow that lifestyle. She says she still wishes to see them again despite being stuck in the circus. Ribbit says that it's their way of letting Jax know how much she trusts she, getting she to open up about his own personal stories. Ribbit listens intently, trying to comfort her and even putting her bowtie on her head as a symbol of their strong bond and trust in each other and accepting of her gender identity, assuring Jax that her secret is safe with her. Kaufmo knocks at the door, startling Jax and causing her to threaten Ribbit to never speak with her again if she tells anyone what she shared. Ribbit agrees, but Jax continues to act strangely following the conversation, stating that she just made it up and laughed at Ribbit for believing her. On multiple occasions, Jax would turn down Ribbit's requests to team up, choosing Kaufmo instead.

Her dismissive behavior towards Ribbit continues until the snowy summit adventure, when the two have an intense argument. Ribbit tries to apologize for prying but says she still wants to be friends, with Jax not listening and accusing her of making things up. Sometime later, Ribbit would still make an attempt to be a part of the group until Jax immediately changes the subject as soon as she sees Ribbit approaching, causing them to walk away in total defeat. Ragatha worriedly asks Jax if she's seen Ribbit, then we see her right in front of her door about to enter. He walks away, and then it cuts to Ribbit's abstracted form, aggressively roaming around the circus while Jax is trying to hide. Kaufmo tries to comfort Jax, but she still insists that everything is fine.

In her abstracted form, Ribbit makes one final appearance in the aquarium (the only time she would be seen outside of flashbacks), where she is seen swimming around with the also-abstracted Kaufmo and Jax, having finally reunited with her friends as Pomni watches on.

Kaufmo: Kaufmo is a former resident of The Amazing Digital Circus, the digital copy of a human named Doug, where he was a close friend of Jax and Ribbit, until his abstraction.

Appearance: Kaufmo was a noseless clown with white skin and black button eyes. He wore a plain yellow clown suit with a blue collar and red pom-pom buttons and shoes, with a matching party hat and white gloves. He had small gray triangular markings around his eyes and thick red lips. Kaufmo was taller than Gangle, as shown in the drawing that Gangle was holding during his funeral.

In his abstracted form, he is a black, rapidly glitching monster with four short, stubby legs and a long neck without a defined head, somewhat resembling that of an alpaca or a horse. His entire body is covered with eyes that erratically flicker, blink, and change color (usually yellow, pink and blue).

Personality: Glitch Productions refers to Kaufmo as "everyone's favorite jokester." At GLITCHX 2023, Gooseworx said that if Kaufmo hadn't abstracted, Pomni possibly would have been good friends with him, though probably annoyed by his jokes. This suggests that Kaufmo may have told jokes excessively and/or at inappropriate times.

In Beach Episode, it is revealed that Kaufmo was close friends with Jax and Ribbit, as the three are seen in a photograph in Jax's room, posing with smug grins and holding beverages. Kaufmo's face appeared prominently in Jax's near-abstraction fever dream as well. Among the many paintings in Kaufmo's room, there's one of him looking sad at an abstracted entity, suggesting that Kaufmo was deeply impacted by Ribbit's abstraction and was a contributing factor to his own abstraction.

In Remember, Kaufmo's personality is expanded on. He was a calm and funny person, although he did not like it when others told him that he wasn't funny. He enjoyed having fun and spending time with Ribbit and Jax. He was also kind and sympathetic, as he tried to comfort Jax after Ribbit's abstraction.

In the pilot, Kinger mentions that Kaufmo had been unstable as of late, unable to talk or think about anything other than an exit from the Circus. His instability reaches its peak before Ragatha, Jax, and the newly arrived Pomni open the door to his room. Kaufmo had covered the walls of his room with eerie drawings and paintings, reflecting his mental state.

Moon: The Moon is a minor character in Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus. She seems to be romantically interested in Caine, which appears to make him uncomfortable or embarrassed. The Moon is also the personification of Night in the Digital Circus world.

Appearance: The Moon has a simple design which appears to be a baby blue waning crescent moon with slanted eyes and a mouth. Her eyes and mouth have a thick dark blue outline as well.

Personality: Not much is known about the Moon's personality. She is chill and nonchalant. However, she openly expresses her love to Caine due to him making her laugh, even though the feeling isn't mutual, which makes Caine label her as "frisky", which she was not programmed for, she naturally fell in love.
