Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, it's your favorite time of year! Your rusting, dirty carnival is back in time, for a short time only! So buy your tickets from the greasy man in the booth, and let's ride some thrilling, questionably safe rides! Lose your money in games designed to let no man win, or come visit our petting zoo! Check out our big top tent for some flying high, trapeze fun, and other circus-like events! Come one, come all!

Carnivals are all fun and games. For the patrons. But for the "Carnies", it's long days and long nights, with little sleep and lots of work. Struggling to pass federal requirements for ride safety, food safety, age of employees, and general cleanliness. You can tell by the bags under their eyes, the dirt under their nails, and for some, a lack of teeth. For the patrons, it's smiles and bad jokes. But behind the scenes, things are grim, dirty, and mildly unpleasant. But no one wants to know that. It ruins the illusion and forces an actual story onto these people.

I know this is terrible, please bear with me, it's been quite a while since I've been in the RPing game.

When I get out of work I'll do my best to get a character up.

Name: Diana (pronounced De-Anna)
Age: 21

Small bio: Diana ran away from home at a young age and was picked up by the Carnival. She's been working there since she was 10 and has had a bunch of odd jobs because of it. She never minded though she loved getting to work at the Carnival despite the insanity that stays there. She couldn't imagine herself anywhere else but there.

Fuzzy-mellon-lord: Welcome~

I may edit these a bit later:

Name: Kason O'Connor
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Personality: Kason thinks she's one of the boys. She'll burp and wrestle and drink a beer while watching the game. She's got a quick temper, but for the most part, she's laid back. She still has her girly side, but she's not afraid to get dirty. Her brothers believe her temper is trying to make up for her height.
Looks: Kason stands at 5'5", with curly copper hair, a small, fit frame, and bright green eyes. She has a brush of freckles across her face, and several piercings in her ear, a stud in her nose and a bar in her tongue. She has various tattoos across her body and a faint scar across her lower abdomen.
Carnival job: Kason can be found in a booth selling tickets, or running a few of the rides. On occasion, you can find her fixing one of them.
Small bio: Kason grew up with her two brothers and her father. Her mother died giving birth, so growing up in a house of men made her the tomboy that she is. She and her brothers would work at the carnival during the summers when it visited their home town. They worked every summer until Kason dropped out, Kendel graduated, and Kyler got his GED. At that point, they joined the carnival full time until they decided what they wanted to do with their lives. And that hasn't happened yet.
Misc: Kason is a the youngest triplet.

Name: Kendel O'Connor
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Personality: Kendel is the more responsible of of his siblings. He does his best to keep them in line, and out of trouble. He knows Kason has trouble with guys and alcohol, and Kyler gets in trouble with the ladies and the police. Kendel, like his siblings, is kind and caring, but he's the only one who shows it. That doesn't mean that he doesn't have his tempered side.
Looks: Standing at 5'10", Kendel is lean, and has the same colored eyes as his sister. His hair waves because it's cut short, and falls in his face. He has fewer freckles than his sister, but a few are still there.
Carnival job: Kendel works in the food trucks.
Small bio:
Misc: Kendel is the middle triplet.

Name: Kyler O'Connor
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Personality: Kyler is.. A guy. He's loud, cocky, and likes the ladies. He thinks he's smooth and charming, but if you asked his siblings, they would tell you he's a goof. His temper and rowdiness rubbed off on Kason, but he wanted to toughen her up. He wanted to know that his sister was going to be okay in the world. He's protective of his siblings, and isn't afraid to break a rib for them.
Looks: Kyler, like his brother, is 5'10", lean and has a crew cut of copper hair. He has the same bright green eyes as his siblings, with tattoos of his own.
Carnival job: He runs a few of the game stands, and plays security when he thinks it's time for someone to leave.
Small bio:
Misc: He's the oldest triplet.

Bump?

Name: John Cruz
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Personality: He can be a bit snarky, but for the most part he tends to be a mellow guy, though he can get particularly moody when people make his job more difficult than need be.
Looks: (my laptop is a fuckass and won't let me post images, so i'm giving a link) Right here folks
he stands at 6'0" and weighs about 64 kg
Carnival job: Mechanical engineer
Small bio: To make a long story short, John was your basic kid with dreams of striking big in a certain career when he got older, in his case, it was engineering. The boy was a genius when it came to machines, the problem was, John didn't exactly have the best attendance record in college, so when he was finally kicked out, John took to taking on odd jobs rather than moving back in with his folks. Eventually he landed a gig with the carnival, the pay was decent, and there was always something that needed fixing, so he decided to stick around. He been with the carnival for a little over a year now, fixing everything from rides to ticket printers.
Misc: He has a pet woma python that he refers to as "Captain Bitey". He can be seen carrying bitey around when off duty.

MonsieurShade: Welcome!

bump bump~

I'll be getting a CS up in a few if you don't mind.

Name: Ash Radke
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Personality: Ash is quite the character. One thing that you can tell right away is that he's honest. He might be blunt about it, but he says what's on his mind and he's not afraid to say it. And get in a fight for it. Some people take that as being a dick, which sometimes he can be. But honestly, he's a nice guy if you're nice back to him. Do favors for ya, help you out here and there, sit down and have a few drinks with ya. Now he'll be a lot friendlier if you're a girl and he wants to try and flirt with ya, but, that's most guys right? Overall I'd say he's a nice guy, he's just really blunt and if you're pissing him off he'll let you know. And then some.
Looks:
Although he has a gelled high and tight haircut. Also has a tribal tatoo across his chest and running down his right arm. About 6'2, grey eyes.
Carnival job: Runs the rigged carnival games for the most time, although he knows how to win them so it looks "easy" to the customer. And when he's not doing this, he's doing motorcycle tricks in the big tent, like jumping through flaming hoops, wheelies, anything life-threatening really.
Small bio: Used to be into racing all his life since he was 16, drove all kinds of cars and motorcycles. He was good too. He started doing circuits and everything but registrations and all that was too much of a hassle, so he started doing illegal racing across the nation. Highways, deserts, city streets, anywhere as long as the prize money was good. It was a cutthroat business though, once you raced and won the money, you had to drive away quickly in fear of either getting shot, mugged, or arrested. Which a few times he's been pretty close to all three. One day he was running a race on motorcycle and the cops swarmed them. Ash barely escaped as he drove over to the local carnival and stowed away in one of the tents. By the time the police went to investigate ash had already gotten a job as a carnie, and after that, he was off the grid. At least this business was somewhat legal...
Misc: Usually carries some kind of weapon on him, out of habit.

(Hope this is alright, been a while since I made a CS.)

Name: Nadia Glonn
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Personality: She's timid and shy, usually allowing anyone to push her around and doesn't object to anything, she has a phobia of men, due to the fact that they were demonized when she was growing up in an all woman household. She's been known to hide herself in a corner when she's feeling scared or threatened.
Looks: picture or description, pick your preference. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxud9uZAYP1qdaa1po1_500.jpg [dark brown hair and brown eyes]
Carnival job: She cleans all the outfits for the performers and makes them too and also repairs things.
Misc: She can sing pretty well.

Awesome, we have lots of people! Everyone is free to start, when I find a spare moment tonight or tomorrow I'll post as well(:
Thanks to everyone for joining!

Alright, thanks :) I'll post right now I guess

Me!
"Hello there, my name is Kenzi, Kenzi Luna Paris. Atleast that's what it says on my birth certificate. I'm 17 and a half and hate being so young. Obviously I'm a girl, you'd have to be blind and or stupid not to know that. People call me blunt, and stubborn. Truthfully that is just the facade I put up in front of people. It keeps me strong to not let people in. I'm a healer, taking care of all bumps and bruises that our performers could go through while working. I also help take care of the animals. Like most of the workers, I don't know where I came from. All I do know is that I was found on a crate at the carnival one day, when I was about 5. I've been family ever since." .

Ultimatepuzle: go for it

Sorry about my absence, musical makes me quite the busy guy. But I actually have some free time now, so I'll be posting more often.

Go for it, this needs some life.
