About Penny

The Cirque de Folie

Penny was abandoned on the doorstep of an orphanage as a baby. She was teased and bullied for being different and dreamed of running away to join the circus. After crying herself to sleep one night after a day of particularly bad bullying, she awoke to find herself around a campfire in a strange, yet familiar place, the circus of her dreams called The Cirque de Folie, the Circus of Fools. She was greeted by the Ringmaster and the other clowns and carnies there who welcomed her like family.

The Ringmaster was like the father she'd always wanted. He was kind and fun and made her laugh. He taught her everything about running a circus. Juggling, acrobatics, trapeze, tight rope walking, unicycling, sword swallowing, handling wild animals, and even breathing fire. He taught her about magic and the multiverse and about everything that mattered and everything that didn't. He taught her to smile when she was sad, to joke when things were serious, to prank when she got upset, and to laugh in the face of danger.

But most importantly he helped teach her what made her special. Her daydreaming was more than just an overactive imagination, but a superpower. He taught her how she could bring her imagination to life, creating real things with a mere thought, like magic. She practiced long and hard until she became an expert. Costumes, props, and other gags became trivial to conjure, even invisible ones. She became their very best show clown and took the stage name The Great Charade!

Penny's Parents

It was years before the Ringmaster told her the entire truth about herself though. Penny knew she was no ordinary girl. After years of nagging, he finaly fessed up. He told her that her real father was Luvah, the Prime Avatar of Chaos, and her mother was Vala, his feminine aspect. Penny wasn't actually a normal human, but a living doll. (Which in hindsight explained a lot, like her lack of genitalia.) He further explained how Luvah's chaotic nature made him very unpredictable, but he told her how the entire Cirque de Folie was formed from Penny's desire to run away, and that it was Luvah who helped manifest it into her own pocket dimension. It was Luvah's wish for Penny to take over as Ringmaster of the Cirque de Folie, and it had been his job to take care of her until she was ready.

Once Penny took over, she took charge and set about perfecting her show. Reality wasn't enough for her anymore, it was too boring, simple, and restricted. With Penny's powers, the Cirque de Folie became surreal, a twisted and bizarre dream-like place which defied physics and was without rules. The acrobats spun through space, the clowns stretched and bounced, the animals danced the waltz and had tea parties. It wasn't just a circus, but a world of wonder where everything you thought impossible could happen, the ultimate form of fun and escapism from the cold harshness of reality and mundane life!

She was determined to make it known as the greatest circus in the multiverse, so she traveled the imaginal realms and the lower astral planes advertising. However, it was on the plane of Babylon, the City of Man, that she discovered even further truths about herself.

The Fool's Parliament

Several members of a chaotic faction known as The Fool's Parliament recognized her and excitedly brought her to meet with them. They told her the story of how she was created, and how they were responsible. They had performed a ritual to summon a Champion of Chaos, but Luvah being the entity of pure chaos that he is, pranked them by sending them baby Penelope. They were a bit embarrassed by the whole ordeal and kept it quiet, leaving Penny on Earth to grow up. They excitedly told her how they had hoped she'd come back one day once she was older and more powerful so that they could take revenge against the order-loving faction, The Shadow Cabinet. Penny politely thanked them for the story but told them she had no such plans. The Parliament was upset, angry and furious even, but they didn't dare challenge her.

She asked why and they explained where her powers came from. Most mystics and superheroes, whether they know it or not, draw their power from a higher plane. The most common for mystics are Faerie, the land of fantasy, Babylon, the city of man, the heavenly realm of Elysium, or the hellish Netherworld. These planes are collections of concepts and within close proximity to the real Malkuth world, so they are most easily accessed. Others can draw power from conceptual realms like Shadow, Fire, Plants, or Animals. These realms are further and more specialized, though often more powerful in their own aspects.

But Luvah is one of the Four Zoas, the Primal Archetypes, and exists on the far higher Brialic planes. The Zoas draw power from Da'ath which connects the Atziluthic planes of Binnah, the Dark Sea of Being and Chokmah, the Bright Sea of Forms. While Binah is the infinite reservoir of power and matter that shapes everything in the multiverse, Chokmah contains every archetype of very object, action, or idea, and every possible variation thereof. The Parliamentarians explained that as an Avatar of Luvah, Penny's power to bring anything she could imagine into existence comes from Da'ath as well, though to a far more limited extent. While Penny wields almost absolute power over her pocket dimension, she's not nearly as powerful on other planes, particularly on Earth where they left her because of the mystical barrier known as The Ban which keeps her powers further in check.
