Harlequins Nobody (Patreon)

Harlequins look like a grey cloth that has taken a humanoid silhouette that is constantly shifting. Their faces are comedy and tragedy masks split neatly down the middle: the smiling side is pale silver, the tragedy side is a dark grey, stitched together by glowing white stitches. The sound of a dangling chain clinks softly when they move, though they never quite touch the ground. Around their chests glows the faint nobdy sigil. Their movements are flowy, jittery, stop-and-start, as though reality itself keeps stuttering when they exist.

Abilities / Fighting Style:

• Fading Step: They phase in and out of existence, making attacks pass through them if mistimed. When they reappear, they lash with jagged blades or blunt strikes formed from their clothy skin.

• Echo Mimicry: When attacked their skin automatically forms a blade or blunted weapon to counter simotaniously make them a nightmare in physical fights as you take damage when attacking them.

• Chain Snare: They can summon spectral chains that extend, binding a target briefly or yanking them off balance. They can even lift up an opponent and slam them into the ground heavily.

• Dissolve: When defeated, they crumble into motes of pale tiny cloth that linger, briefly attacking anything nearby.

Behavior: They never rush. Instead, they hang back, circling like echoes waiting for a cue, only striking once the enemy has committed to a move. They embody hesitation weaponized—forcing the opponent to fight their own rhythm.
