One of my friends in high school was a percussionist, and when I created Charson, I thought about how he would probably find the merman's "percussion" shudderingly funny.  Charson's performances are basically a cross between juggling, percussion, and physical comedy -- he's as much a performer as he is a musician, and he's very good at what amounts to a very tricky, multi-tasking field.  Derangers, like Gundurun, are a cross between "band leader," "demanding conductor," and "dancer."
