==Physiology==
===Appearance===
<tabber>
|-|Default=
===Default===
Jester is a human with fairly light skin. He has brown hair and black, rectangular eyes. He wears a creeper hoodie unzipped with a dark gray shirt underneath with his signature logo on it. He wears light gray long-sleeve pants and scarlet and gray shoes.
Another notable feature is his burn marks that cover a good portion of his face and arm. These were the result of his fatal injuries due to a spawn anchor by Kirbs that would ultimately kill him. Nowadays, the burns appear fresh and the explosion also caused his right eye to lose function; explained by his eye-patch. When asked about his injuries, Jester has said that while it may look painful, he doesn't feel much pain from the burns. Though that doesn't make them completely bad targets for attack, either. 
Jester also has developed green, glowing eyes; possibly due to the phantom side of him from the portal. It only is present in one eye, however, since the other one is no longer functional.
|-|Origin=
===Origin===
Jester's features where altered to a degree that it could be considered different. The first change was the addition of small, phantomlike wings on his back. Secondly, he acquired both glowing, green eyes with a light green sclera, but also an exposed half of his body showing a rib cage and other bits of body tissue.
His head in particular changed dramatically. Instead of burnt flesh or exposed muscles, his exposed flesh dissolved right down to the bone. Leaving him with a half-skeleton face.

===Biology & Anatomy===
====Before Bloody Saturday====
Jester was a young, medium build, fit and mentally sharp teenage human. He could run long distances with good cardio, and had minor muscle build due to occasional hard labor.
====After Resurrection====
After his resurrection, Jester became more weak and his health declined. Since his body wasn't used to functioning with so little energy, it often failed on him. It was these reasons that Jester himself did not survive his entry into World X.
====After Origins====
He was scarcely able to heal after some time following his ghostly-resurrection by Ankhor. After some time, he began regaining some muscle, slowly re-growing over his chest hole. However, his skin remained notably quite pale and sickly due to the harsh rays of the Sun from the Moon.
==Personality==
Much like his namesake, Jester is described as having a goofy but entertaining personality. While being goofy, he is serious when he needed to be. Often he could be found talking in *asterisks* and italics for dramatic effect. This also means that Jester had the knack of getting too into lore, especially the lore of the SMP. He has said that his stories regarding the Universe are morbid and detailed, especially in the case of Sylvie's "DnD origin story" with a very dark tone.
===Flaws===
One of Jester's biggest flaws is his lack of foresight. He often acts on impulse or for the sake of a "Bit," often needlessly hurting people in the process. The biggest examples are when his killing of Dottie in Castlestad lead to his dethronement and death. And the second example being that during Bloody Saturday, he knew that he couldn't defeat Kirbs on his own, but fought him anyway. Resulting in his death.
After he died, many people complained that he was just sulking all the time and that they think he either wanted attention or liked being dead.

==Involvement==
<tabber>
|-|Castlestad=
Jester was the King of both Castlestads during the Castlestad Arc. Until the town meeting on September 30, 2020, his power had almost completely gone to his head and made him a tyrant. His power was stripped from him during said town hall meeting, exclaiming:
"Did I just get L'Manburg'd?"
|-|Freewood=
From then on, Jester would never lead another nation, or even attempt to try and take control again. He was just along for the ride. When Aukratein was raided (presumably by Kirbs) Jester said that he would bring them to justice for what they did to his friends. He never gave up on the Treaty of Castlestad, even when many players like Troy and Kirbs said it was dissolved. He never gave up on his allies, fighting with them during some of the most uncertain times of his life.
|-|Parlade=
Even after his death, Jester supported his allies in Parlade when they raided Pangaea, Cheep's old base, which ended with DjK00L_'s betrayal and the raid of Cielos Dorados.

==Etymology==
The name "Jester" means "someone who amuses." Herschel is thought to come from Milly Herikkel, who was known as "The Herschelette" during the early 18th Century. The name stuck and the surname Herschel became official in 1720.
His middle names of "Content Warning" possibly refers to his ability to write gruesome and bloody origin stories. Thus, a big "CW" must be added to his name.
