//SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS
Synesthetic: Has invulontary perceptual experience through sensory input. Tasting colours, hearing flavours or even seeing sounds are all within the realm of possibility. This is more debilitating than useful and provides unique insights to Chester.
//PERSONALITY
A horrible upbringing has left The Fool fragmented and disfunctional. He has odd sensibilities on how and what is required of him and why he should care in the first place. A father than regularly beat him and a mother that would take her time teasing and projecting her anxieties on the child. This left him both angered and scared of the world as a whole because the people who were supposed to teach and protect him did the exact opposite. Chester learnt that listening to music or making himself laugh were incredibly useful in escaping this horrid reality. Often he would wander from his home to do a variety of silly and stupid things some of which scared him permanently. Being attacked by ducks has made him abnormally scared of avians.
Chester Inpello is a madman of the highest degree. Due to his synesthesia he has mild grip on what a sane person would call reality. It causes sensory hallucinations that can be quite debilitating or provide unique understandings, viewing an object will not just look red it will feel, taste and sound like it as well. As he has not yet been diagnosed his understanding of the phenomenon is that he has something inherently wrong with his brain, seeing it as a mere affliction rather than something to channel emotion into a creative medium. He is however somewhat acutely aware that it would help but finds little motivation in its application. Chester wholeheartedly believes that he would fail miserably in doing so.
He is a free spirit through and through. Authority and order are irrational to his sensibilities, seeing them as direct challenges to his life style. He drifts from location to location finding the lack of variety to lack the stimulation he desires. Chester's hallucinations make general interaction with others quite difficult. Conflicting personality traits such as high strung or orderly individuals tend to leave a sour or even bitter taste in his mouth. As he picks on others to create his own sense of happiness he is regularly arguing with others which causes many unpleasant sounds and physical sensations. The rapid variations in tones are like tiny pin pricks all over his body leading to an even more irrational and irritable fool.
Almost no situation is taken seriously by The Fool. The jovial persona that wears does not falter even when under pressure as it causes a physical state of pleasure. With each chuckle his world inverts in colour or rather feels as though it does, the intense shift is highly addictive. Upon entering combat his emotional state drastically shifts and reverts to his older ways. Bloodshed or inflicting pain attains an ecstacy unparalleled to any drug or sexual encounter. He becomes entirely cold and methodical thinking only of the ways he may extend said pleasure. Chester will only reach this state either when he is injured, inflicts an injury or views shed blood. This frenzied state will last as long as he is conscious and can last days at a time provided he has the energy to stay awake.
//LIKES
Music: Chester has been a fan of nearly all styles of music ever since he was a young child. The expression of raw emotion intrigues him greatly. As long as a song has a relatively impactful pulse he will find himself tapping away and allowing his senses to take hold. Due to his Synesthia each song comes with its own visuals, feeling and even taste culminating an intense mental state. Tomfoolery: As a coping mechanism to distract his rather overactive mind Chester takes no situation seriously. No matter the situation he will find something to laugh at or goof off with. This also is used to hide his true intentions and motives to those he does not trust. It is rare for him to trust an individual and thus rare for his foolish front to falter. Poetry: Much like music Chester loves the expression of feeling and thought. Poetry with a particularly contrastive nature tends to be more desirable than other forms. He finds the dynamic and exploration of thoughts and feelings to be particularly interesting. Rhyming however somewhat irritates him and he will refuse to read a poem that uses alliteration. Challenges: As one of his biggest motivators is to be his best self the man finds any challenge to be rather exhilarating. Failure is never an option in Chester’s eyes as he strives continuously for absolute perfection. To him everything is direct challenge that he must overcome whether it be dealing with a person to something as simple as drinking a glass of juice. It must be done as efficiently and precise as is possible. As a result he is intensely competitive despite his overall foolish demeanour. Compassion: Although he regularly makes it his goal to play jokes at another’s expense Chester is a highly compassionate individual. A rough upbringing has provided him with insight as to why a person must strive to be both their best for themselves but also for others. Having been subject to psychological abuse for the vast majority of his life the man wishes for no other to feel the same as he once did.
//DISLIKES
Ignorance: As a madman it is rather ironic that the jester thoroughly dislikes ignorance. Due to this he preys upon any ignorant individuals he interacts with. This is usually done in a very playful manner in order to guide the victim’s thoughts to a realization of sorts. The severity of his play is always in direct relation to the person’s perceived ignorance. Children: Having a rather abhorrent upbringing has brought forth an intense jealousy of children. The mere sight of a child seems to push the fool to a near incoherent rage. Though he would never directly harm a child either physically or psychologically he will make it well known that their presence bothers him greatly. Chester will do so through his body language and rather inappropriate acts such as screaming at their face. Violence: Having been physically abused in the past Chester finds no pleasure in the harming of another. This extends to his enemies as well for he believes no matter how far someone has fallen in the depths of depravity they may be saved. In the past he used to exercise his larger size on those who could not defend themselves but now he understands fully that others suffer just as much as he once did. If someone such as he could change why not others? Order: Structure in the daily life of Chester does not exist for order is like a poison to his lifestyle. He likes to ride the highs and lows of his life feeling all of his emotions at their most intense regardless of the devastating affect it can have. This leads to little self-control or regulation in all aspects of life except the challenges he presents himself with of which he grows immediately attentive and conscientious. Condiments: It might seem odd to have condiments written as one of his dislikes. That is until you see his reaction to any person putting a sauce on any meal. Chester is of the belief that if you put tomato sauce or any similar dressing on a meal you should be shot right where you stand. To not savour the flavours and textures of a meal but to drench it within a singular flavour is tantamount to sin. If you enjoy tomato sauce and the fool recognises this fact… Well, you can just fuck right off.
//MOTIVATIONS
Development: Chester strives to be his best self in order to provide the best for others. This extends to everything he does believing that no person has finished growing and that they should always strive to be better than they are. This comes from a place of pain as he believes he has little potential to be a good person due to his inability to control himself. Compassion: If he cannot be a good to himself he will be good to others. This extends to anyone including enemies as stated above he wishes for everyone to grow and be happy. Chester will shown an intense compassion and lack of play with those he really cares about though these are far and few between. Pleasure: A slave to his pleasures Chester loves to indulge in all things that provide temporary bliss. He will consume something until he no longer derives pleasure from it in a very addictive manner unable to regulate himself. Drugs and sex are where he attains most of his joy. While indulgent in the worst of ways he is unable act so foolishly in the presence of those that rely upon him. Power: As with any person who is a slave to pleasure the madman craves power and by extension wealth. A person with power and money can do whatever they please or so the fantasy goes. Chester's desire to obtain power is only trumped by his desire to become intimate with a person for the first time in his life. Social: What good is pleasure if you cannot share it with a friend? Chester attempts to make friends with most of the people he meets provided they can put up with his constant teasing and playful demeanor. As someone who rarely understands their own self worth he craves the interaction of those that might care for him. Due to such a low self-esteem he is also skeptical of any person who wishes to interact with him willing believing that to do so would require an ulterior motive.
//FEARS
Fruit: Having your life revolve around simple pleasures generally tends to lead to unhealthy choices. Fruits are not just a healthy snack to Chester but a reminder of every single bad and self destructive choice he has made. His reaction to something as similar as an apple is of the same calibre to a man with PTSD from the war. Uncontrollable shaking and a sudden flush of colour from his already pale face betrays any sense of bravado he displays. Failure: Although failure is a lesson to learn from, Chester will avoid it at any cost. Perfection is something he strives for in every single action as to do so is to challenge and better yourself. By developing as an individual he feels that he may become someone that a person can depend on even if he cannot depend upon himself. Loneliness: Having no real friends or family takes its toll upon those with an already fragile sense of mind. The fear of having nobody to share his woes or joy with is something that scares him every single moment of his life. This is why he readily throws himself at every challenge and social situation, desperately grasping at any chance of a friend. Intimacy: Chester may crave a lover and friends but he fears that his lack of self-care will by extension hurt others. Due to his compassionate nature hurting the people he cares about would devastate his already fragile mindset. He just wants somebody to love him for who he is, no man or woman has ever provided such a luxury. Ducks: At the young age of five Chester attempted to take a loaf of bread to the nearby creek. In doing so he tripped and fell smooshing the bread underneath his body at ducks swarmed from every side. They began to peck at him until they could get the food and this has since traumatised him. Hearing a quack or the sight of a duck makes him relive the moment and revert to his five year old self. He just cries, it's honestly quite pathetic.

//DETAIL
This fool is like many others caring for vanity to an absurd extent. If you cannot look stylish while going about your everyday business, what's the point? As such Chester will only ever be seen wearing patterned dress shirts and a contrasting pair of pants in order to emphasise the form of his chest. His clothes are always a slim fit in order to emphasise the inverted triangle shape of his torso and the definition behind each leg. Every shirt worn is untucked and the two top buttons undone.
Although it always clashes with his outfit he wears a bright red hooded cap. On either side of the cap it ends in two dangling heart symbols. From the heart it spreads outwards to form the head piece creating an elongated triangle shape on both sides. Underneath the cap is a head of messy blonde locks cut to medium length for a man. Chester's face is covered in makeup resembling a clown's to enhance his already handsome face and to indicate to take what he says with a grain of salt. It would be bizarre for someone to take a man who wears such make up seriously. His eyes are always intense betraying his goofy and somewhat jovial demeanor. A standard light brown though they always seem unusually narrow and aggressive as if he views everything as an enemy.
Standing at one hundred and ninety three centimetres with an athletic build he is quite a large man. He has rather horrible posture as he generally slouches forward with hands in pockets or fiddling with something to keep himself distracted. Across his back is the tattoo for the Black Sails Guild in a bright red colour. On his right arm he has a code printed reading zero, one, seven, four and six. This number is to identify him as a slave. He has had it since he was five years old and has not removed it as it reminds him for why he lives for himself. His torso when not covered by fashionable attire has a large number of scars from brawls and his slave work.
On the left side of his abdomen is a bullet hole from where he has been shot before. Most importantly he always wears a massive crow feathered coat draped over his shoulders with the arms dangling to each side. This makes it quite easy to mistake for a mantle.
