Face Paint

'"Let's party!" '

A strange case to be sure, Face Paint, aka Gabriel Baros, is a former member of the Kent Bros. Carnival and an escaped convict of Prison Alpha-Nega where he was experimented upon and turned into a Shadow Demon-Human Hybrid at the cost of his sanity.

Physical Description
Face Paint dresses in a father odd fashion which only adds onto his strange appearance. The only clothes on his back are his old worn out prison jump suit, a purple teeshirt that has an old carnival clown logo and a pair of black worn out prison shoes. As for the man himself, he stands in at 5"8' and charcoal black skin with his eyes a blood red in color while his scala was black in color. His hair is in a black mohawk with the tips a dyed red color. As for his teeth they are a disgusting yellow color and as sharp as a shark's set. His lips are a dark red due to lipstick, with a red rubber nose to give him a clown like look.

Back when he was human Gabriel had Blond Hair and Blue eyes with a pale complexion

Personality
Before the experiments, and becoming Face Paint, Gabriel had a violent, and smug personality; beating down those that would make jokes about him, or heckle him to, sometimes, an inch of their life. As a Clown, Gabriel acted silly and ridiculous for people due to originally having a desire for it. However as Face Paint, the only things that remained of his personality was the violence, and even then that was escalated to horrifying new heights; for example if someone doesn't laugh at a joke that he feels isn't bad they'd get bruises and scares. His humor became sick and twisted, messing with people in different and horrifying new ways doing things like "Russian Roulette" with a gun that had blanks in it and not telling anyone. The only thing that remained constant between the two personalities was the view that they viewed children, that they both tried to keep kids happy and light hearted. Though in Gabriel's case he always tried to cheer kids up, and remove any fear. In Face Paint's case he wouldn't do his horrible acts infront of kids saying that "These aren't meant of the kiddies".

Relationships

 * Sentinel Hank W. McKnight (Enemy)
 * Alister (Friend... sometimes)
 * Xanker (Friend... sometimes)

Sentinel Hank W. McKnight
Hank Rodgers is, as Face Paint puts it, "the Boringly Lawful Inspector Javert to my Chaotically Fun Jean Valjean" due to the fact that Hank is a High Ranking Officer of the Law that keeps encountering Face Paint and that it was Hank that he first encountered after escaping from Prison Alpha-Nega. Face Paint would always mess with Hank and never try to kill him due to this view on their 'relationship'. Hank on the other hand is willing to either take Face Paint in alive due to his status as an escaped Fugitive and Criminal, or dead should he get the order to do so and denies their 'relationship'.

Alister
Alister is the first 'Special' person that Face Paint meets, Alister thinks of Face Paint as a psychotic clown that keeps flip flopping between being good and evil.

Xanker
Face Paint met Xanker entirely by accident but thinks that Xanker is something 'REALLY SPECIAL' for some reason, maybe its the fact that he is the Light Bringer or the fact that he met Xanker entirely by chance, who knows. As for Xanker he views Face Paint as a chaotic wild card that can help things or ruin things depending on how things go and what side he's on.

History
This is a rather complicated issue due to Face Paint's insanity having kept giving different 'origin stories' and the fact that all prisoners of Alpha-Nega have all records privatized and locked away to keep the public 'aloof'. The only elements that remain constant in this case is the fact that his name is Gabriel Barios, he was apart of the Defuct Kent Bros. Carnival at some point, and was a clown before winding up at the Prison Alpha-Nega.

Powers

 * Shadow Demon DNA - Due to his Genetics getting spliced with Shadow Demon DNA (and actually surviving the process at the cost of his sanity later) Face Paint had gained a series of unique physical abilities.
 * Shadow Demon Physical (Enhanced Strength, Agility and Durability) and Mystical (Special Sense, Shadow Camouflage and Blood Vision.)
 * Enhanced Strength
 * Agility
 * Durability

Abilities

 * Shadow Demon DNA - Besides getting Physical Enhancements from the experiment, the Shadow Demons' unique Mystical Traits were also spliced into his being.
 * Special Sense - A Sixth Sense type of ability that allows him to sense the ones that are... Special.
 * Shadow Camouflage - a trait that allows for him to blend into the shadows or seemingly disappearing depends on how you few it.
 * Blood Vision - A unique form of sight that allows him to follow the blood trail of someone bleeding or identify someone by the sight of their blood.

Weakness
Due to his VERY questionable mental health, Face Paint has had a tendency to toy with enemies that he views as special by fighting them instead of upright killing them. Also he has had a tendency to do things that weren't the brightest of options he had at the time.

Equipment

 * Smith and Wesson Model 929 Handgun Revolver - A Handgun Revolver that Face Paint looted from a Petty Thief he both encountered, and then killed, shortly after escaping from Prison Omega-Nega.
 * Model 870 Remington Express Tactical Pump Action Shotgun - This Remington tactical shotgun was stolen from a police officer that tried to bring Face Paint in... alone.

Trivia

 * Face Paint is based on the Twisted Metal series' trademark character Needles Kane or, as he is more commonly known as, Sweet Tooth.
