WARNING: A Seriously Silly RPer
Faux Show is based on and an homage to the various clown and trickster theme'd villain of comics. Such as the "Trickster" , "Prankster" , "Toyman" , "Arcade" , "Harley Quinn" and of course "Joker". He is meant to be silly and sinister and fun. He is not meant to disrupt any one else or ruin any good times. In short he's a troll IC but not OOC.

Known Henchmen
When a charismatic maniac gets put in a confined building full easily influenced unbalanced individuals is how you get henchmen. You'd think Paragon City would have realized this by now. The first few crimes Faux Show was captured for he was placed in the care of doctors to try and cure him of his mental instability, all they did was provide him with a grab bag of the insane that he calls his Circus of Crime

Classified as a Brute-class villain with Super Strength and Willpower status offence and defenses. He goes by Punchline, the joke being he punches you. Hard.
Laugh Riot - Fredrick Tafferman was a manic-depressive with a flair for invention. While in the Asylum he had been using his skills to help improve the lives of his fellow inmates. Music boxes, fun games, and toys. However soon after Faux Show arrived they took on a more sinister edge. All his music began to play calliope music, his games became lethal and the toys deadly. Classified as a Mastermind-class villain with an army of Thugs and Traps as his offence and defenses. He's turned the inmates who once fans into frenzied worshipers who will do anything to keep the music playing and the fun times going. Starting riots while laughing.

The villain's chaotic lifestyle of buffoonery and whimsy appealed to her rabid need for a new high.

She's lives for the first strike and the look of fear and shock on her victims faces.
Crimes Committed
While he has committed many crimes from simple robbery all the way up to murder there are some crimes that have stood out.
Rubber Duck Traffic Jam
On May 16th in the Skyway City district of Paragon City, Rhode Island. During the height of rush hour traffic, the villain Faux Show inflated an 80 foot tall rubber duck on the roof of a tall building and let it fall onto the highway. The resulting crash injured and killed several motorists and causes a backup of traffic for over seventeen hours while damaged cars and road were repaired. The entire incident was prolonged by a large wind propelling the duck around the area causing multiple crashes. Faux Show escaped custody leaving behind a bill, in a form of sick joke. Punchline was captured and incarcerated.
The Pigeon Parade Incident
During the Hero Appreciation Parade in Steel Canyon released thousands of sick pigeons over the parade. The deluge of bird droppings unleashed by the birds was enough to scatter the streets and end the parade. In addition he had managed to tamper with the confetti released during the parade which caused many of the pigeons to explode violently when they consumed it. During the event He and his henchmen robbed the 38th Street Bank and escaped custody.
Glitter Bombs Away
In the Founder's Falls district Faux Show set multiple bombs throughout the area and released a statement only some of the bombs were real and some were fake. The real bombs were all placed on a dam while the bombs in the city were all filled with pounds of glitter. In a mad attempt to cover the area in glitter then blow the dam and flood the town in order to spread the glitter over as much of the area as it could. Luckily several heroes of the city working together managed to foil his plan and stop the damn from blowing up. Several glitter bombs did detonate and were shiny for months. Faux Show was captured and incarcerated for his crimes. He and Punchline escaped prison shortly after with the help of his Henchmen
Jelly Beans
In order to "prank" hero Malcontent the villain filled several apartments in the King's Row district with unappetizing flavored jelly beans. He left a note saying he couldn't figure out which one was the heros so he filled several and to please deliver the leftover jelly beans to her. He escaped custody for this crime.
