Jasper is the ringmaster of the Lanturnacht Circus. Now a hallmark of Lanturnacht in Mistica, the circus was once known as "Bozo's Circus", and has been in the Bozoni family for generations. So how did it fall into Jasper's talons? Well, there's a bit of a story.

Jasper was orphaned at two years old and was found wandering the streets near the circus by Archibald Bozoni II. Kind-hearted Archie Sr. was unable to turn away the little Jinx, who was clearly hungry and sick. He was not a superstitious Aetra, and did not believe in the curse of the Jinx. He brought the boy home. After searching for months for the Jinx's parents, he was able to find nothing, and determined that the boy was in fact an orphan. Archibald Sr. went through the proper channels and adopted the Jinx, now named Jasper, into the Bozoni family officially. Little Archie, Jr., who was seven at the time, was none too pleased about having a little brother, and an accursed Jinx, no less! But he came to accept it, eventually, and he eventually grew to love his little brother, who showed nothing but affection and respect for his big brother. Even as the boys grew, and Jasper quickly grew taller and bigger than Archie, Jasper was always kind to him.

However, Jasper was always a little unstable. He was prone to bouts of mania, followed by depression. He was always creative, though, and was constantly coming up with ideas for Bozo's Circus. His father considered most of the ideas too strange, twisted, and far-fetched to put into practice, but he never discouraged his adopted son from using his imagination. As a part of Bozo's Circus, Jasper mainly worked as a beast tamer, using his trusty whip to beat back ferocious feral pets and getting "Oooh"s and "Ahhhh"s out of the audience. When he made a vicious terror Ahbruis jump through three hoops of flame in quick succession, the whole audience applauded.

At age 17, Jasper left home, not from any sense of anger at his family, but simply because he had an intense wanderlust, and a need to see many places. The circus travelled, but had a set yearly path. He wanted to stray from the path! See all of Mistica! And so he did. Jasper traveled for ten years. However, five years into his journey, tragedy struck. His and Archie's father passed away suddenly in an accident. Jasper returned home for the funeral, but young Archie, now the ringmaster of Bozo's Circus, blamed Jasper and the Jinx's curse for their father's untimely demise. Jasper seemed to be alright, but in reality, he took his father's death very hard. Unable to stay with the circus because of Archie's anger toward him and too many memories, Jasper returned to travel. His father's death really sent Jasper on a path toward the twisted, and he began focusing on the spooky holiday of Lanturnacht. Being alone and upset for so long can do things to a person, and Jasper began to lose his mind.

It was in these years that Jasper met Gregory, a top hat possessed my myriad spirits. Found locked away in a discarded chest, the hat-monster was selected by Jasper for his "collection". The hat had other ideas. It saw a host full of life and vitality that it could feed from. But instead, somehow, Jasper managed to forge a symbiosis of sorts with the hat, which he called Gregory. Jasper provided life energy to the hat, and Gregory helped to keep Jasper's mind clear and (mostly) sane. Jasper made plenty of money finding and selling strange goods, and loaned money to the now struggling circus.

When Archie could no longer pay his debts, Jasper took the circus for his own, turning it into a Lanturnacht-themed attraction with scary beasts, totally not-rigged games, and horrifying sideshows. Despite his tenuous sanity and strange personality, Jasper loves, above all, entertaining the people of Mistica. Making them scream, making them laugh, and making them feel alive. During the season of Lanturnacht, he runs his circus. The rest of the year, he travels, finding new goods to sell, new friends to bring to the circus, and new acts. He is even trying to patch things up with his brother.

In recent years, Jasper's circus has been plagued with problems of its own, namely the lanturats. These pesky sugar abominations get into every nook and cranny and eating all the candy. Jasper hates these things, and destroys them on site. Usually by feeding them to Gregory.

Another thorn in his side is the run-away imp, Robin. Imps always think so highly of themselves, believing their people to be the best a tricks and pranks. Jasper begs to differ and finds the boy excruciatingly irritating, though he puts up with him due to the interesting nature of some of the objects he has. Though honestly, Jasper would rather he fall into a deep, dark pit somewhere and never find his way out

TRIVIA
- Jasper has no right eye. It had to be removed after it was damaged during a show.
- His pals are Izzy the Phantom Vipard, Andrew the Binx, and Edgar the Coally. They were tragically killed by Albrecht during the 2011 Lanturnacht season.
- Jasper's living pal is a Carnidae named Barnaby. He's quite lazy and usually found sleeping in Jasper's trailer.

Pet Comments

Marie says *she can sense his slight uneasiness despite the fact that she can't see his blush. Nonetheless, she sighed inwardly and stopped shortly on the other side of the fence, looking back at him with a deadpanned expression* Oh, aren't you funny. *she replied to his last statement* I'd say you're more the child than me. Make sure Gregory keeps those screws in tight, if ya know what I mean... If there are any screws left, that is. *she gave him another smirk and a fluttering wave before turning and beginning to walk down the road* See ya 'round, pretty bird. *she called* ((Ooc: Oh god, Marie, did you seriously just call him that? xD))

Marie says *she raises another eyebrow, and this time a smirk tugs at her lips* As I recall, you happened to take part in that so called 'silly sappy Mistmas stuff'." *she cooed teasingly. She would probably only accomplish getting on his nerves, but she didn't particularly care. Besides, she wouldn't see him ever again after this night, right? As she waited outside of his tent, her strange tri-colored eyes surveyed the circus grounds more closely. She tilted her head and gave a small huff before the ringmaster came back out. She noted the items he carried, but made no mention of them, not because she didn't want to know, but simply because she wasn't particularly interested* Do you know where I might find an inn or some place to rest for a while? *she asked, shoving her hands into her pockets* ((Ooc: I hash picture of Marie up on her profile! Though it's a bit blurry, so I added some extra info down below it involving her physical description and whatnot. I know, my art isn't very good, but the picture will stay up there until I can get someone to draw me a decent bust shot of her.))

Marie says *she raised an eyebrow at him, noting his sarcastic expression* Right. *she muttered* I'm sure it's a blast and all, but you'll have to forgive me for not seeming as thrilled as I probably should be. I was never one to take interest in joining any of the holiday festivities. *she shrugged* I don't like crowds. Simple as that. *a small smile tugged at her mouth then, and the cheran gave a nod at his last statement* That would be nice.

Marie says *she flinched once more at his touch, not because she thought he would hurt her, but simply because she was not very accustomed to any form of physical contact aside from the occasional hugs she gave to the elderly* I-I guess so. *she nodded* I do remember a fence, but I didn't know it led here. *she looked over at the circus tents that remained standing* I've never been in this part of the world before, so I don't know my way around very well. Though I've heard plenty of stories, so I can take a pretty good guess at where I am. *she looked back at him* You must be Jasper. *as she became more accustomed to speaking, her British accent became more noticeable, so when she said his name it came out as "Jaspuh"* My name is Marie.

Marie says (( Ooc: Sweet! ^_^ I'm actually planning on coming up with a bio for Marie sometime soon~ )) *the storm cheran gasped as the tap on her shoulder startled her, and she whirled around on her heel to face the jinx, albeit clumsily* I'm-- I'm s-sorry, sir. *she said in a slightly audible voice. It was clear from her tone and her very timid expression that she wasn't used to talking to people very often* I got lost, and accid-dentally ended up h-here. *she gave a respectful bow of her head to show that she had no desire to pose a threat to the ringmaster* I had no intentions of purposefully coming here uninvited.

Marie says *she seems to find herself unsure of where she's going as she walks among the circus grounds. She honestly doesn't know how on earth she ended up here; of course, she knew where she was, and she also knew that the place was closed, for Lanturnacht had long passed a few months ago. All she needed to do was find the exit... or maybe someone who could help... but she wasn't one to trust people enough to talk to them. Especially when they ran a horror fest such as this* ((Ooc: Forgive me. I was bored, and Jasper would be such a fun character to bother, lol~))

says Sure. Beats beating around the trapped in a small dark room for hours on end.

Deliriant says Mr. Jasper, I think I'm in love with your hat.
