The Wardrobe Clown

A demon from Inferno who manifests as a clown with weak supernatural abilities, the **Clown in the Wardrobe** has the role of the "Spy" among the Blasphemous Seven.

His sin is Luxuria (Lust).

## Appearance

He manifests as a sort of Clown-themed monster being, which has a more average height than the rest of his fellow Sins, being not much taller than an average human adult. His body is overall really thin and he's usually hunched whenever he's not making use of his Super Speed.

His Clown appearance seems to be a mixture between a conventional look with multiple BDSM clothing tones, directly representing his Sin.
His head is overall horribly deformed, having an overall structure that's unusually large, a gigantic wide smile with both sharp and simply ruined human teeth, and bright, yellow eyes with small slit pupils. They're never facing both at the same direction, showing his mental unstability.

He also has seemingly mechanical and large, black scorpion legs pulling both his upper and lower eyelids entirely, leaving his eyeballs almost completely exposed permanently. He still has conventional Clown traits such as facial make-up and hair at the sides, aswell as the generally colorful clothing.

## Personality

The Clown is probably among the most mentally unstable members of the team, although unlike his fellow Sins Chompo or Entertainer, he doesn't exactly reach the point of actual insanity, instead being actually more of a twisted, barely remorseful being rather than being almost unaware of his atrocities. Despite nearly lacking remorse (which makes him a great spy) and being among the oldest "new" Sins of the team (even being among the "First Five"), Lust isn't really smart at all and even with his powers he's nowhere near as effective as he imagines he is, specially when acting without proper orders.

He's also overall more easygoing in comparison to the rest of the team's more insane or serious members, which is likely kind of an extremely subtle parody to how speedster characters typically always have to be the chill wisecrack-spewing guy of their respective cast. Although he's not actually easygoing as in a normal way, it just works as the Clown's way of "masking" his actually more unstable way of being, and this can be seen in some of his interactions, even with his fellow Sins. Partly due to his kind of trademark Super Speed, he also displays many traits that fit actually well with his mental unstability. Most of the time his physiology accidentally causes his body to be so accelerated he literally can't stop moving or shaking at high speeds (to the point he looks like a blur to normal sight) when he's trying to stand in a spot normally, and he sometimes speaks so fast everything he says is unintelligible even when he's not willingly running around or using his power. He also finds getting any rest much harder due to those unpredictable body accelerations.

Despite not being actually insane (specially compared to the aforementioned Despair and Gluttony), Lust is fairly messed up regardless, and has shown massive inconherency in his behavior at times. Sometimes he seems to somehow try to convince himself he can be more serious and legitimately effective by randomly adopting a somewhat more serious way of acting, leaving his usual odd wisecracks and carefree-ness behind. Although this never lasts longer than atleast 2 hours before he returns to said usual "mask" behavior out of unstability.

## Prior to Oakleaf

Not much is known regarding the Clown's human life, nor his first experiences and specific arrival at Inferno yet, but it can be presumed it was really long ago, considering he's among the "First Five" to be a part of the current team of Blasphemous Seven.

## Powers and Abilities

Lust's main abilities are his Speed and Plasticity, which allow him both to properly spy on the group's current possible target, which is specifically Todd as the story happens. Originally he was also created with the purpose of going around cities and knocking out their power very quickly using his incredible speed to cause panic and get the population to willingly come out, leaving them all easily exposed to the murderous Sins once they all invaded Earth.

**Speed Adapted Physiology**: The Clown's body is naturally adapted to stand the high-speeds he's able to move at. His cardiovascular and respiratory systems are as around thrice as efficient than those of a human being. His metabolism is also naturally faster and the chemical processes of his musculature are highly enhanced so that his body generates reduced fatigue poisons, the normal by-products of locomotion, which force the body to rest. His joints are smoother and lubricated more efficiently than those of a human being. His practical reaction time is many times faster than a human's and the speed at which his brain processes information is heightened to keep up with his bodily speed, enabling him to perceive his surroundings while traveling at fairly high speeds.

* **Supernatural Speed**: Overall his main ability, even considered more important than his Plasticity. The Clown can move at incredible speeds, which are far faster than naturally possible for a human. Normally he's able to reach and move at basically Supersonic speeds (Mach 1, faster than the speed of Sound itself.), but in optimal conditions he's capable of reaching high Supersonic speeds of Mach 4 and 5 (3,000+ and 3,600+ Mph). The full limit of his speed is actually unknown, and is presumed to be even limitless, like Lust's punishment.
* **Increased Metabolism**: As mentioned above, Lust's metabolism is far faster than that of a human's as part of his physiology being practically made to live at high speeds. However, in a certain way this almost works like sort of a weakness, because while it allows him to live longer even for his already extended lifespan, his body processes overall functions such as digesting food much faster, which makes Lust need a massive amount of food (even going to the point of even eating actual garbage to keep himself full) to keep a decent amount of energy, even with his physiology (which allows him to gain energy from whatever he consumes more efficiently.) A lack or reducement in calories can ruin his health and even lead him to a bad physical state.
* **Supernatural Reflexes**: Lust's reflexes are far superior to those of a human because like the rest of his body, due to his physiology every function is fast for him, including those of his brain itself. His brain functions at the same speeds he does, which allows him to not only see his surroundings when moving quickly but also perceive everything in a slower way.

**Plasticity**: His secondary main ability, though not as important as his Speed above. The Clown has the ability to convert the mass of his overall body into a somewhat malleable state at will. How his body's respiratory and circulatory systems manage to still work while he's using this ability remains unknown, although it's probably related to his unnatural physiology explained above. He can alter his form in some minutes (depending on what he wants to do with it), and revert to his normal humanoid shape within a longer but still similar amount of time. His transformation into a malleable state is more or less quick (thanks to his Supernatural Speed and overall Physiology adapted to it helping him in the process.)

* **Shapeshifting**: He can reshape his body into a certain shape he thinks of, such as a Cube or even actual objects, but it's far from perfect. Plus the more complex the shape is, the longer it takes for him to get it's form and the more exhausting it is for him to keep it together.
* **Elasticity**: Lust can stretch his limbs or torso around. This actually takes next to no effort compared to his shapeshifting, since it's just thinking of stretching himself rather than thoroughly having to do a massive full transformation into a certain shape.
