(----Equipment----)
- A Kuka Crewman's Plasma Ring -
A piece of jewelry from The Super-Sargasso Sea's Kuka Crew that grants the wearer incredible and incomprehensible powers and abilities by harnessing the energies that permeate the Super-Sargasso Sea via the green Szemetite gem in the ring. When the ring is fully charged, the ring can grant it's wearer Plasma Manipulation & Garbage Manipulation.
Also this ring's connection to The Super-Sargasso Sea allows it's bearer to open portals that are about normal adult human size into The Sea from the universe they are in to not only remove the trash they are cleaning up from that universe and the reverse, but also travel from their universe, to The Sea, and into a different universe all together.
And finally, these rings have a miniaturized built-in version of The Rubbish - 2 - Energy Converter. Meaning that the ring can fire a beam that can convert the garbage and other forms of debris it targets into a form of "Trash Plasma" that is then absorbed by the ring for the bearer to use as a power source. However the rings have a set limit to how much energy they can absorb before the ring explodes from the strain and take the bearer's arm with it.
While the Plasma Rings are fine with cleaning most normal messes and regular criminals, they are rather limited in strength on their own when it comes to tackling much tougher & bigger messes and even much more powerful criminals and even beings that could easily kill a normal Crewman.
To compensate for this, The Kuka Crew's researchers & engineers have developed various different kinds of equipment that uses The Plasma Rings as more of a rechargeable battery source and they augment the Trash Plasma the rings create for functions that best suit the job at hand.
- Kuka Crew Uniform -
Special custom uniforms for each individual Crewman. These suits are modified to be powered by the rings themselves and grants then adequate protection from normal forms of damage and from the various contaminants one can experience while on the job. While the suits on their own can create a barrier that can properly shield it's wielder against things like normal bullets, a hand grenade or a single bundle of dynamite, they are pretty much too weak to protect against things like multiple bundles of dynamite, most forms of superhuman strength, a Hydrogen Bomb or god forbid an attack that eradicates an entire country off the face of the planet.
- Kuka-Issued Multi-Lingual Earpiece -
A standard piece of equipment that translates the various languages that can be found in various universes, allowing the various members who have their own languages and dialects to properly communicate with each other and the different beings of various universes.
- The Trash Plasma Jetpack -
A standard-issue jetpack designed to be powered by Trash Plasma that allows the wearer added mobility and can allow them to use the pack for long distance leaps, sustained flight, elevation and even using the rockets as a means of attack.

(----Writer's Notes----)
Well here's a character that I talked about in my first use of my "This is a Kuka Crew Member Template."
To quote from the first link:
(---"And as for those who have no idea who this character is, this clown cartoon is actually the second oldest animated cartoon character in human history. The oldest being the characters from 1906's Humorous Phases of Funny Faces.
This is probably one of the easiest characters to draw since this clown is so simple and I wouldn't have to change his design too much. Also this character is the first French character I added to The Super-Sargasso Sea, so if this character would speak it would speak his native tongue until he got his own Plasma Ring & Earpiece which does allow him to speak and understand the languages of those around him.
Plus this version of the character will have some of the earliest forms of Cartoon Physics to go alongside his newly received ring. However he doesn't have the same kind of zaniness that future versions of cartoons have, so he's a bit more limited in how he can use said Cartoon Physics along with the fact that he doesn't have as smooth an animation as future cartoons do since he was animated in what was called "Stop Motion Photography" at the time.
So yeah, just imagine this little guy essentially meeting what are basically his descendants as part of his job as a Kuka Crewman. Though he could end up getting along well with The Kuka Boys since the they are basically living drawings."---) Unquote.
As for how this clown ended up in The Kuka Crew. Well after the ending of his short film, he ended up taken from his universe and ended up in The Super-Sargasso Sea. Specifically in a local branch of The Kuka Crew that has other Crewmen I mentioned before like The Kuka Boys, Jake Jenkins, and Green Champion. Though at first since the majority of people in that local branch speak English, Fantasmagorie couldn't really understand them since he only understood French. So he had to be provided an Earpiece and his own Plasma Ring to power it. Though when the ring has been slipped on his finger, it changed his colors from white to green lines. And when he did end up joining the crew, he did have to take some English classes to learn how to read English as while the Earpiece translates spoken language it doesn't translate what's written down. And it would be rather difficult for Fantasmagorie to be given written orders and he can't read what's written down.
This version of Fantasmagorie is an open source character created specifically for use by anyone. Feel free to use it any way you wish. You must also give creator credit.
