Carnyvore

**Carnyvore** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Corydon'mores Clique (between a Corydon'mores-A, Corydon'mores-B, and Corydon'mores-C) from the planet Gustare Iris.

## Appearance

In a similar manner to Season's Greetings and Wedlock, whenever the user transforms into Carnyvore, their mind and consciousness are fragmented into a trio of separate beings capable of working together in harmony with one another, respectively known as "Ringmaster," "Strongman," and "Fire-Eater," complete with their own personalities and abilities.

Ringmaster is a stocky humanoid alien with bright magenta purple and white skin, with a large red nose, mismatched eyes with the right one larger with a small slit pupil, and the left one smaller with a large circular pupil, a notably larger left arm with pointed fingertips, and reflective glass orbs emerging from the top of his head and forearms. Ringmaster wears a black tuxedo with a large red bowtie, tan buttoned undershirt, tan cuffs, and visible coattails.

Strongman is a muscular humanoid alien with dark two-tone mustard yellow skin, with large bladed growths emerging from the back of his head, torso, and wrists, appearing more animalistic in appearance compared to the others with a bulky physique, prominent underbite with two fangs, large clawed hands, and digitigrade legs. Strongman wears a dark brown and tan leotard extending over his left shoulder covered with jagged patterns.

Fire-Eater is a lanky humanoid alien with dark teal green skin, with thorny spikes extending from the top of his head, the sides of his face, underneath his mouth, vaguely resembling facial hair, and from the back of his shoulders, green-blue gradient eyes with circular bright red pupils, and digitigrade legs similar to Strongman. Fire-Eater wears a tan and brown plaid shirt, with his naval exposed at the bottom, dark gray suspenders covered with red polka-dots, and black pants. His profile image depicts his plasma constructs in use as a blue-and-white flaming torch held in his left hand.

Carnyvore wears the Simplicitrix on the left sides of their bodies, with Ringmaster on his left pectoral, Strongman on the left side of his collar over the strap of his leotard, and Fire-Eater on the left side of his neck.

## Personality

Despite their like-minded goals when it comes to accomplishing tasks and putting on performance shows for audiences, Carnyvore and their three instances treat each other less like friends or family members, and more like work colleagues that can't even stand the sight of, resulting in arguments and fights so cartoonish and comedic in nature that they border on real-life slapstick. The three members are each differentiated through Ringmaster's irritable attitude and grouchiness, Strongman's sarcastic responses and tendency to stir up trouble for the fun of it, and Fire-Eater's knack for finding humor in situations despite his lower intelligence and lack of common sense.

## Powers

* Carnyvore has different esoteric powers and abilities unique to their respective members, which goes as follows:
	+ Ringmaster has mirror magic, capable of manifesting and manipulating reflective surfaces from the amorphous glass bulbs on his head and arms, using them as barriers that can momentarily distract and confuse opponents through whatever they reflect back at them, and reflecting physical attacks and projectiles back towards the sender through the mirrors' repulsive effects. Through his esoteric control over the element of glass, Ringmaster can control his mirrors with telekinetic precision and even launch the bulbs he creates them as hardened glass orbs that violently shatter and explode upon impact.
	+ Strongman has sword magic, capable of hardening and transforming his spikes into razor-sharp metallic blades that he can extend and widen at will, using them as a means of powerful offense with adjustable range, as he can bend their shape like tentacles, and being able to reattach them back into himself should any of his blades be severed or broken apart. Through his esoteric control over the element of metal, Strongman can control his swords with telekinetic precision and even blanket himself within a condensed layer of metal particles that distorts light and renders him completely invisible.
	+ Fire-Eater has bio-fire magic, capable of superheating his own body temperature and surroundings into organic fire, akin to how Knicicle can generate organic ice, using them for defensive purposes through warding off species much less tolerant towards extreme heat, and a rapid means of propulsion through using them to launch himself into the air. Through his esoteric control over the element of plasma, Fire-Eater can control his organic flames with telekinetic precision and even mold them into the shape of different constructs and weaponry infused with the preporties of his elemental magic.
* Carnyvore's three members each have enhanced strength, durability, speed, stamina, and intelligence when it comes to circus performances and skills.
* Carnyvore's three members are all immune towards trickery due to their innate skills meaning that they can easily recognize them whenever they see them, in addition giving them a resistance towards persuasion and suggestion.

## Weaknesses

* Carnvyore's dysfunctional relationship, while not necessarily severe or toxic in nature, can accidentally drive others into uncontrollable laughing fits from how comedic that their squabbling and slapstick fights can end up being.
* Carynvore's different forms of elemental magic cannot influence nor harm those who are immune towards magic.
* Carnyvore's esoteric abilities each have their own limitations dependent on the individuals that can access them:
	+ Ringmaster cannot manipulate the reflections of his mirrors, putting him at an disadvantage against Prandium Faceret Numquam Oblivione Delebiturs, nor will they come out accurate due to their amorphous state making them comparable to a distorted funhouse mirror.
	+ Strongman cannot naturally regrow or regenerate his spikes within a convenient period of time, meaning he must manually recover any intact ones that have been severed and physically reattach them, to which if he cannot, will limit the amount of blades he can create.
	+ Fire-Eater cannot use his biological flames too recklessly, especially within environments containing flammable or combustible materials, something that he can easily overlook as of the result of his lesser intelligence making it difficult for him to understand common sense.

## Etymology

* Carnyvore's name refers to "carny," as in carnival, or someone who works at one, and "carnivore."
* Carnyvore's species name is the Latin translation of "clown behavior."
* Carnyvore's planet name is the Greek translation of "taste the rainbow," referencing the vine of a food vendor yelling "SKITTLES!!!" at a Taylor Swift concert.

## Trivia

* Carnyvore was drawn and suggested by Shark, with their designs being based off the chef villains from the 2016 *Ben 10* reboot.
* Carnyvore's unique personalities, dysfunctional relationship, and slapstick-filled arguments was heavily inspired by *The Three Stooges*.
* Carnyvore's appearances and magical abilities reference other kinds of circus performers outside their namesakes, with Ringmaster having a white face similar to the make-up of a clown, and asymmetrical features like a freak show, Strongman's sword abilities referencing a sword swallower, and Fire-Eater's fire abilities referencing a stuntman due to their affiliation with fire, such as riding a motorcycle over several burning vehicles or jumping through a ring of it.
* Carnyvore's individual instances were tentatively named "Contort," "Cut," and "Char" during their creation.
