Jellico Boing-Boing is an NPC from Extinction Curse. He is one of the first main antagonists we see to come from Mistress Dusklight's Celestial Menagerie. He is a hideous clown so flexible that he may as well be made from rubber, and the mere sight of him is enough to make Volio furious.

## Description

Jellico is a clown with orange frizzy hair, a top hat, and "hideous makeup". He exhibits traits that seem to give him an element of flexibility, such as being able to turn his head 360 degrees. Unlike Volio, who dresses to appeal to children, Jellico leans into the murder clown stereotype, aiming to frighten and distress his audience.

## Personality

Jellico is a vicious, cruel man who hides his direct insults and mockery behind harmless jokes. His sly cunning lets him twist any situation into one where he isn't the aggressor, aggravating his victims even further. His sadistic tendencies seem to be amplified around Volio, and the two evidently have some history together. He is described as having been quite opposite to Volio in every way, constantly getting on Volio's nerves and serving as a good foil.

## Abilities

Jellico is a very typical clown in some ways. He is extremely acrobatic and agile, shown in his overly-dramatic manner of moving. He is barely ever described as walking, consistently living up to his namesake and bouncing anywhere he needs to go. He seems to be made of rubber, using extraordinary flexibility in his acts and potentially even in combat. His main acts involve feats of balance and juggling, such as standing on his head/top hat and juggling clubs with his feet.

## History

Jellico Boing-Boing is a clown with Mistress Dusklight's Celestial Menagerie.
 He was there when the Wandering Three were also part of the circus,
and seemingly was quite close with Volio Via until a sudden and abrupt end in their relationship. When the
Wandering Three eventually left Dusklight's, he stayed, happily on the
good side of his cruel employer. In 4720 AR, Jellico was sent to the town
 of Abberton to drum up hype for Dusklight's and ridicule The Circus of
Wayward Wonders. He riled up Volio to a point where the other clown broke and punched him across the face, prompting a Performance Duel with the other party; one which he and his companions lost. Upon retreating, Jellico was the only one to even attempt a smile, though this may have been just his makeup.

A month later, when the Circus arrived in Abberton, he was present when Delamar Gianvin returned from Conclave Square to announce that the Wandering Three had successfully secured land for the Circus of Wayward Wonders in Escadar.

Jellico next put in an appearance alongside Viktor and Danika within one of the final rooms of Mistress Dusklight's Heavenly Gallery. He had constructed a magic mirror maze to help him and his (tragically underleveled) compatriots get the drop on the Wandering Three. The mirrors themselves were enchanted to be able to show scenes of the party's "greatest failures", and among them was the "inciting incident" which finally prompted the Wandering Three to escape. As it turned out, Volio had once told Jellico something of his aasimar nature in confidence, including the fact that he bled gold blood. Jellico then proceeded to humiliate Volio in the middle of a show by leaving him covered in pig's blood presto'd to be gold in color.

Being reminded of that incident (among others) on top of Jellico's continued mockery finally caused Volio to snap, and he proceeded to beat his old partner to death in the mirror maze while there were (temporarily) no visible witnesses.

## Trivia

Jellico's name was originally Jellico Bounce-Bounce but Ritz guilted Derry into changing it.
