Overview[]

Circus Burger is a popular chain of fast-food restaurants operating all over the country. The typical Circus Burger restaurants are small one story cubicle buildings with drive-thrus.
Each building usually has a striped or triangular roof with the Circus Burger logo or a giant burger on its sign. However these giant burger signs have since been dropped due to bovine-related attacks in which they were pushed off roofs and dropped on employee cars.
Circus Burger HQ[]

Circus Burger HQ
Circus Burger's corporate headquarters is a pristine silver-colored building that bears the Circus Burger logo on a giant metal sign near the top of the building. Circus Burger HQ's interior is the typical cubical environment of most office buildings, however what makes it stand out is its unique vending machines bearing the Circus Burger logo and which sell Circus Burger-brand burgers to all of its faithful employees.
Cow Attacks[]
While initially a successful enterprise, Circus Burger has seen their sells fluctuate negatively over time due to becoming the victim of slanderous and often destructive terror attacks by what seem to be sapient cows who have made it their mission to ruin Circus Burger and save bovine-kind by encouraging humans to eat chicken. These cows have pulled all manner of schemes on Circus Burger, such as mud-slinging, spreading anti-Circus Burger propaganda, writing "Eat Mor Chikin" on their restaurants and offices, or even destroying their restaurants and harassing their customers, showing that these cows mean business.

Staff[]
Founder[]

The founder of Circus Burger
The Founder of Circus Burger is unsurprisingly a clown himself. As the original founder of Circus Burger, he saw it as a matter of utmost importance to attend company meetings himself after the coordinated cow attacks against his company began to escalate beyond their control, forcing immediate clowny action against the bovine scourge.
CEO[]

Circus Burger CEO, Seymor Greez
Seymor Greez is the corrupt and corpulent chief executive officer of the entire Circus Burger franchise, acting as the company's most important authority and having final say on all decisions and marketing campaigns. When the cow attacks on his company began to escalate due to the actions of the empowered bovine known as the "Swatter", Mr. Greez took personal offense.
Finally being pushed over the edge by these bovine antics, Greez orchestrated a full counter-attack against the ungulate menace by summoning the company's elite clown teams to finally dispense with the forces behind Code Moo, with Greez's clowns eventually succeeding in capturing the Swatter himself who Greez now planned to torment by imprisoning him in the Circus Burger clown circus as a permanent attraction. Unfortunately for Greez, the Swatter was able to escape his oppressors and unleash his counter-attack against Circus Burger, which left Greez hanging by a rope.
Board of Directors[]

Circus Burger's Head of Business
- Head of Business - The unnamed head of Circus Burger's board of directors; a high-strung and paranoid man greatly upset by the company's drop in sales and the suspicious behavior of the staff, believing that a saboteur has infiltrated their ranks with the goal of ruining Circus Burger.
- Bill - An executive on the board who everyone seems to suspect is the company saboteur, but is entirely innocent and upset by the constant accusations.
- Diane - An executive on the board and a potential suspect for saboteur but is also innocent.
- Unnamed executive - A rather smug glasses-wearing executive who seems to have no respect for Bill and was quick to accuse him for the company's misfortune.
- Steve - A newly appointed executive on the board who is well liked by everyone, but is in actuality the real saboteur and in fact a sapient cow who seeks to topple the beef empire of Circus Burger with the aid of its bovine comrades who have infiltrate other parts of the company.
Employees & Others[]

- Miss Daisycutter - Personal secretary and assistant to CEO Greez who faithfully follows his orders to the letter.
- Deborah - An advertising manager at Circus Burger who is secretly a cow who infiltrated Circus Burger in order to sabotage their ad campaigns.
- Social Media Department - Two tech-savvy "youths" responsible for overseeing Circus Burger's accounts on social media and posting ads that will appeal to younger customers, but in truth they are also cow infiltrators hired by Deborah to sabotage the Circus Burger social media accounts and plaster "Code Moo" on all of their images and ads.
- Two unnamed office workers who are completely oblivious to the bovine invasion and believe that "Code Moo" is just popular modern slang.
- Hundreds of fast food employees all over the country.
Clowns[]
Naturally fitting with their circus-theme, Circus Burger employs an elite team of specially trained clowns which act as their official field agents and serve as the only counter against the bovine menace. Unfortunately even the most skilled clowns with the latest in slapstick equipment are no match against more elite cow threats like the Swatter. Circus Burger clowns also operate circuses to help promote Circus Burger and imprison their enemies.
