Description ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, allow me to introduce you to this charming monstrosity, the product of milo2 listening to too much insane clown posse! ;_; it's burned a hole into my brain, and somehow one song, just one, made this guy burst onto the scene.

i want you all to meet jackal, also known occasionally as doctor jackal (which is usually followed swiftly by 'he's-not-really-a-doctor'). born jack sutler, he's been living every other kid's dream: he ran away to join the circus. well, technically, he joined a carnival, and he's not actually a clown. seriously. his areas of expertise include juggling dangerous objects, usually sharp and/or on fire, and sleight-of-hand. that ugly mug of his ain't grease paint; he had it tatooed several years ago. sometimes, but not often enough, he uses costume makeup to look like average joe. not often.

jackal lives in a trailer he's filled with all manner of bizarre knicknacks and curios... he has a soft spot for antiques and vintage clothing, once-living things in jars of formaldehyde, and animal skulls (his pride and joy being a monstrously large jacob sheep skull, which he is actually able to use as a helmet/mask/conversation piece). his girlfriend, missy hyde (yes, that is her name... dr. jackal and missy hyde, aren't they CUTE), is also part of the carnival, usually (wo)manning the kissing booth or acting as a walking pin-up. she thinks she's fat, but jackal is constantly telling her that 'yes, you do have big thighs, and godDAMNit i love 'em.' jackal's pretty okay with missy's kissing booth clientele, although when fellow carnival workers try to move in, he's not gonna let them walk away without a black eye or two.

nothing is known about jackal's childhood. all we have to go on are his eccentricities (antisocial, yes, but he's a spectacular crowd-pleaser). he doesn't talk about himself in any context; indeed, he hardly speaks at all. when he does, he's calm, an unexpected voice of reason despite his appearance. it's fairly obvious that he loves looking scary and throwing people off.

now, go listen to insane clown posse's 'let's go all the way' for the noise that inspired this guy. better yet, check out the music video: [link] go. now.

doctor jackal who's-not-really-a-doctor and missy hyde are (c) me, biznatch~

Tahaa, when I saw Dr. Jackel, I immediately thought of Jackel from Neil Gaiman's novel American Gods.

Even though it is not that Dr. Jackel, I really like YOUR Dr. Jackel.

I like him so much, I think this deserves a .

ohh YES. i love jacquel. actually, i love that whole darn book. :3 you've just gained a billion niftypoints. *sparkle*

BuggerAlleThis In reply to milo2 [2006-07-28 22:17:13 +0000 UTC]

Tahaa, yaay niftypoints!

That was the first Gaiman book I read that he wrote by himself. The first actual book I read by him was Good Omens, and it's my favorite ever.

And American Gods is amazing.

There's also a Dr. Jackel in the manga GetBackers, if I remember correctly.

I wonder why there are so many Jackels..?

milo2 In reply to BuggerAlleThis [2006-07-29 00:12:32 +0000 UTC]

really? haha, and to think that i briefly considered buying the first volume of getbackers today in the bookstore... XD i have NO idea why there are so many, personally i just used 'jackal' because it sounds vaguely like jekyll, which came to mind when i was coming up with this random guy. XD and since jekyll was taaaaken... :3

ahh, american gods. i was just rereading it, too

BuggerAlleThis In reply to milo2 [2006-07-30 23:45:32 +0000 UTC]

Hahaa, GetBackers is pretty good, but I've only read the first two volumes... Jackel's my favorite, incidentily. There's something about psychopaths with knives and crazy hats that excites me, I suppose...

Either way, I think Jackel is an awesome name for ANYone, doctor or not.

I should reread American Gods...I was rereading NeverWhere, but I have to read stuff for school now...
