King Riv
King Rivenwild Marriweather (a.k.a. Riv; King of Comedy)
Rivenwild Merriweather, or simply Riv to his friends, is a towering figure at nearly seven feet tall, with a robust frame that suggests a life of mirth and merriment. His skin is a vibrant shade of turquoise, reflecting the lush vegetation of his home planet, and it's covered in a constellation of tiny, star-shaped freckles that twinkle with mischief. His eyes are a piercing emerald, capable of holding a twinkle of laughter even in the most solemn of moments. Riv's hair is a wild, untamed cascade of jovial blues and greens, often adorned with the plumage of Zanyland's exotic birds as a nod to his royal lineage. His attire is as flamboyant as the tales of his jests—a blend of velvets and silks in a riot of colors that seem to dance in the light, complemented by a pair of oversized, golden shoes that make a delightful 'clack' with every step. His crown, the Scepter of Silliness, is crafted from the lightest of materials and is shaped like a giant lily pad, with a gleaming orb at its center that changes color with his mood.
Riv is an ever-smiling, charismatic leader with a heart as vast as the laughter he inspires. His spirit is infectious, and his kindness knows no bounds. He has an uncanny ability to find humor in the most dire of situations, often turning potential crises into opportunities for shared amusement. Despite his jovial exterior, Riv is a sharp intellect, capable of strategic thinking and profound wisdom when the moment calls for it. His reign is marked by fairness and compassion, ensuring that the laughter of his people is genuine and not at the expense of others. He is known for his quick wit and improvisational skills, which he employs not only in his own jests but also in diplomatic negotiations, turning potential conflicts into light-hearted exchanges. Riv's love for his subjects is matched only by his love for his planet, and he is fiercely protective of the natural beauty and innocence of Zanyland. His royal decrees are often peppered with riddles and jokes, making governance a delightful affair for all involved.
In his free time, Riv can be found gallivanting through the mountains, playing his trademark instrument, the Giggle-Harp, which emits a symphony of laughter with every strum. His pet, a giggle-goblin named Snickerdoodle, is never far from his side, acting as both companion and court jester. Riv is a creature of boundless energy and enthusiasm, and his laugh—a booming, thunderous sound that echoes through the valleys—is said to make even the most stoic of beings crack a smile. His favorite pastime is hosting the Great Tournament of Giggles, an event that draws jesters and humor aficionados from every corner of the world to compete in a grand festival of laughter.

Personal history
Riv hails from the enigmatic and whimsical Kingdom of the Mountains of Mirth, nestled within the grand continent of Jestervale. The Jovians are a race known for their love of humor and jests, and the Merriweather lineage has ruled over this land for millennia, spreading joy and laughter wherever they go. Riv's reign, however, began unconventionally. As the youngest of seventy-four siblings, he was never meant to ascend the throne. Yet, during the Great Jovian Joke-Off, where the right to rule is determined by wit and guffaw, Riv's unparalleled sense of humor and knack for the unexpected propelled him to victory. His background is steeped in the art of jestering, having studied under the legendary jesters of the Court of the Jovial Jester. His life has been a tapestry of pranks, puns, and heartfelt belly laughs, all of which have honed his skills and made him the king that he is today.
