Tragedy: Character Sketch

Tragedy is always just around the bend, and that, he firmly believed, was why you should never go there. Stay where you were, watch carefully to make sure other people weren't pushing you around the bend (he chuckled a bit at the joke there), and it would all end up in pleasant mediocrity. Of course, that didn't mean everybody else was so smart. Nope, not at all. He scratched his head. Did it count if it was somebody else's bend? I mean, say that they went around their bend--that wouldn't make it tragedy for you if you followed them, now would it? He'd been in the military, and he had to say the odds seemed about 50-50 when you followed somebody around the bend if it would be just their tragedy or if--

Inspiration: One of the songs off "The Nightmare Before Christmas."
Story Potential: High?

Ooo...I'm doing a "cast of thousands" story with the Circus of Brass and Bone. I should look up the character ideas and see if any of them fit in. Could be fun!
