Kinger is one of the main characters of Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus, voiced by Sean Chiplock. He is an anthropomorphic king chess piece trapped in the Digital Circus along with five other victims.
== Appearance ==
Kinger is an alder wood-colored king chess piece. He has cartoonish white-gloved hands detached from his body, two large asymmetrical eyes with blue pupils, and lacks a mouth though he retains the ability to speak. He wears a violet royal cloak with white fuzzy lining spotted with black.
== Personality ==
Kinger is shown as erratic and paranoid, unable to commit acts of bravery. He also seems to have gone crazy from his time in the circus, as shown when he starts acting randomly. He is implied to be absent-minded since he seems to often forget the fact that people are near him and are startled by them. Like Gangle for example. Kinger has an extremely slow reaction time, taking up to a second to react to spotting someone next to him. Kinger also seems to be interested in insects, since he is shown to ramble about an "insect collection" at times. However, despite his crazed and cowardly nature, Kinger might have at least enough sanity to not abstract and is shown to have a brave and kind side to him, as shown when he was willing to save Zooble from the Gloinks, and when he comforted Ragatha in Candy Carrier Chaos. He is also seen with a shotgun in "POMNI WAKE UP TIME TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE", which may suggest violence to his personality. 
== Biography ==
=== "PILOT" (Episode 1) ===
Kinger is introduced in the beginning theme song, in which Pomni knocks Jax into Kinger. This results in Kinger pushing over Gangle, breaking her comedy mask. Kinger seems to stay in a pillow fort he calls his "Impenetrable Fortress." He comes out of it when Jax says that Kinger's been in the circus the longest out of them. He comes up to them and asks if somebody said something about an insect collection. A few moments later, he appears to be hiding in his Impenetrable Fortress, which gets stolen by the Gloinks. Afterward, he starts explaining how he thinks Kaufmo has gone insane, saying he was rambling about an exit. Kinger compares Kaufmo and Pomni, saying she might be going insane too. Pomni points out that it could mean it is more likely that an exit exists.
Kinger gets paired up with Gangle to go save Zooble by Jax, which Kinger starts to gradually twitch violently. He gets startled when he sees Gangle, having forgotten she was there. Later in the episode, Gangle and Kinger appear to be looking down at a hole, with Zooble distantly screaming. Kinger forgets why they're there, saying he doesn't know what he's looking at. Gangle explains that they saw The Gloinks carry Zooble down there, and Kinger thanks her for the recap. Kinger seems to get startled by Jax's appearance, and then tells them they found "The Zooble Hole." A few moments later, Jax throws a bowling ball at Kinger, in response, Kinger grabs Gangle, dragging her down the gaping massive hole with him. Jax boings in after them.
After a bit of tumbling down a slide in the massive hole, they enter the Gloink Queen's nest. As of seeing The Gloink Queen, Kinger says, "An insect collection?" Gangle corrects him, and he gets startled by her again, screaming. A few moments later, after Jax refuses to save Zooble as they get carried by, Kinger and Gangle do rock-paper-scissors to see who will rescue Zooble. Kinger wins but runs off to go save Zooble anyway. He grabs Zooble's head, but his hands just stay attached to it. He watches casually as Zooble is swallowed by The Gloink Queen, as they yell at him for being "a motherf-" and being abruptly cut short afterward by the Gloink Queen swallowing them. When The Gloink Queen spits out Zooble after an Abstracted Kaufmo falls onto her, Kinger, having been thrown against the cave by Zooble's head, asks if they experienced a game show in there. He can be seen carrying their head until after they return to the Tent, with Zooble telling him that they thought he would be next to Abstract, and he thanks them joyfully. Kinger can be seen in the end scene eating the big digital feast with the other performers.
=== "Candy Carrier Chaos!" (Episode 2) ===
Along with the other Digital Circus members, Kinger arrives to the Candy Canyon Kingdom on a float made of candy. He possibly got teleported offscreen as he isn't seen in the circus when Caine announced the adventure. When they get off the float, Ragatha tells Kinger how amazing the castle is and he replies saying that they even got candy bugs, which he is a fanatic of. 
They eventually get into a truck to catch the antagonists of the adventure which are a couple of bandits and Pomni gets trapped at the top of the bandit's truck. Kinger throws her a lifering trying to save her like if she was drowning on the water. He is seen on the back of the seats of the truck shaking aggresively due to Gangle driving over "Rocky Roads", after that is over, he asks Ragatha to repeat her question due not hearing her because of getting 5 knives stabbed on his head. Later, he tries to save Pomni, who is still on the top of the other truck, by throwing an anchor tied with a rope to her, Pomni dodges the anchor and it falls over a cliff. While Kinger is checking what is the anchor's rope is attached to because of Jax asking, the truck gets pushed by the anchor causing it to crash with the other truck and ending up falling off the cliff. 
Kinger then opens a hatch and finds out the truck fell on a chocolate river. He agrees along with Jax that Ragatha's hair looks like licorice and puts a bucket on Ragatha's head covering her hair. We can see he put that bucket on later. When they head back to the kingdom, Kinger tells Ragatha that they can ask Caine to bring Pomni back and that he remembers how long it took Ragatha to adjust to the Digital Circus life just like Pomni is right now. He strangely forgets that last part and his mind gets reseted when Ragatha replied him saying she is surprised he still remembers that.
Gangle asks why is there another "Bad guy truck" (which is a copy of it under the map brought by Pomni) and Kinger turns the tap on the back of the truck and lots of syrup release and fall on his body. He possibly did this with another truck since he said that truck was full of syrup too.
At the end of the episode, Kinger gets back to the circus after completing the adventure and attends Kaufmo's funeral and tells Pomni it's the least they can do to pay respects to him.
=== Upcoming Episode ===
As previewed in POMNI WAKE UP TIME TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE, Kinger is seen desperately and aggressively trying to pin someone else down with the buttstock of a shotgun.

== Trivia ==
* He is the oldest and tallest character in The Amazing Digital Circus.[Kinger] is the tallest and oldest. -gooseworx, 08/08/02023, Tumblr. (accessed 2023-11-22)
* He and Zooble are the only characters that don't have a mouth.
* He has been in the Circus longer than any of the other characters, which Jax believes is why he's the most psychologically unstable of them all.Kinger's been in the Digital Circus longer than anyone and he's uhhh…. He's just… yeah! -@glitch_prod, 15/07/2023, X, formerly Twitter. (accessed 2023-11-22) Even Zooble believes that Kinger would have been the first one to abstract due to his paranoia.
* Both his and Bubble's reveal teasers are connected.
* He had a pillow fort, which Kinger named his "impenetrable fortress" that he would hide in to protect himself.
* His hands can be pulled away endlessly, as seen when he grabs Zooble in the PILOT.
* One of the crossed-out performers in the "PILOT" resembles a dark queen chess piece with a red robe, who is confirmed to be named Queenie.All I'll permit myself to say is that her name is Queenie. -gooseworx, 22/10/2023, Tumblr. (accessed 2023-11-22)
** Considering that Queenie's icon is crossed out, it's implied that she abstracted before the events of the PILOT.
* In the "PILOT" after Zooble gets spit out of the Gloink Queen, he asks whether they experienced a game show in the former's stomach. This is a reference to the Gastral Giveaway in Gooseworx's previous projects "Little Runmo" and "Elain the Bounty Hunter".
** It changes in the Latin American dubbing, saying "You didn't experience a Turkish novel in there, did you?" in reference to Maureen Herman (Zooble's voice in Latin America) has dubbed many Turkish series into Latin Spanish.
* He seems to be interested in insect collections, as he went out of his way to peek out of his pillow fort because he thought he heard someone say something about them.
*Kinger knows how to play chess.He does. -gooseworx, Tumblr. (accessed 2023-12-27)
