{zchardetails:cliff}

Ravin Poornachandr is a cheerful Indian wolf who is one of the crewmembers on {zshow:iz}, having been around since its very beginning. Due to many of his peers having difficulty pronouncing his name, he started calling himself "Cliff" as a dreadful pun, and it stuck.

He has some mechanical engineering knowledge, but most of his job is in operating the games during the show - in situations where Alex isn't controlling the gunge machinery himself or where having real sensors and true mechanical reactions to contestant actions would be impractical, he's often the one controlling things from behind the scenes.

His favourite gunge tank to operate is {zgame:the_hotseat}, because of how its three stages - the rotatable spurts from the sides, the bright gunge from above and the final splatter of black sludge - keeps surprising the losing player inside and makes them squirm in different ways. During the show's third series, he started saving some of the green slime in the sprayers and starting them up again after the gunging seemed to be over, making them yelp one more time.
