Liane Jasmine Sambucus, 23, female
Role: Waitress, singer, dancer
Skillset: Dancing (swing, jazz, latin, feather fans), singing, comedy, seduction
History: Liane grew up dancing, grew up singing. She loved the wilder, sensual songs and dances, her parents less so. They more than nudged her to pursue a more restrained, respectable career, but to Liane, nothing was to stop her from pursuing that very special thrill she could only get when she let herself be consumed by the dance. This, inevitably, led to some conflicts between her and her parents, especially as she started dating. After a brief stint at a dance school, mostly to placate her parents, she discovered cabaret. This, Liane realised, was exactly what she had been looking for from the very beginning. She promptly dropped out of school and ran off to pursue her dreams.
Personality: If there's one thing Liane wants, it's romance. Be it a serious, long-term relationship, a fling, a one-night-stand or anything in between, Liane will not hold back if she wants to have any of these with someone else. She's naturally flirtatious and not all that serious, but she will be serious if she feels like the situation calls for it. As such, she does her best on stage, but her main concern is having fun during the performance, and she loves, loves, loves to flirt with the audience. Above all, Liane is a hedonist, but she takes care not to hurt others in the process.
Nikolai "Niko" Corrick, 26, male
Role: Dancer, waiter, acrobat
Skillset: Dancing (contemporary, pole, tap), acrobatics, seduction (off-stage)
History: Nikolai grew up a performer. From his otherwise normal childhood to now, he has danced, swung from ropes, bars, poles and fallen flat on his face. Practicing almost all the time he had, school did get pushed to the side, and when he finished his compulsory education, Niko was off and away to perform in front of a real, paying audience. He bounced around a couple of places before finding cabaret - Niko was sold from day one, in love with the ability to make the show "his" for once.
Personality: For Nikolai, everything he does on stage in front of an audience must be good - perfect, even. As such, he's very serious on stage, but he also enjoys it immensely. He's usually in a good mood if he's not practicing. Off-stage, Niko lives for his friends, new as well as old, and knows how to turn up the charm. He's very loyal and protective to his closest friends. He is rarely alone, but if he is, chances are he's either practicing or listening to music.
