Let's make the boys drool by getting all flirtatious and giving them blue balls by ditching last minute LOL

Diedra doesn't mean to, it's just force of habit D: (I was pondering over making her very manipulative, but it doesn't go with her mothering personality.) She's very good looking and very...close? Clingy? She wouldn't wave to someone, she'd saunter over and hug them closely, and whilst chatting probably try to braid/toy with their hair, or put a hand on their shoulder/on the waist...it's meant to -appear- flirtatious but really she's just a very tactile person. Likes being close to people.

I've been looking into horse behaviour when looking at Diedra - so her tactile attitude stems from horses being a herd animal and usually spending lots of time in close contact with people. Horses also have a strong fight-or-flight instinct but mares specifically will defend younger horses in favour of running away. That means that Diedra would probably fight for her 'little ones' (the other performers) instead of pegging it. Ever been kicked by a horse? Imagine a woman doing that...ouch.

Otto is more like a cat...seems either aloof or extremely affectionate, cold or hot, and he also likes to hide/sit in confined spaces.

Case and Point

Just can't wait for Otto to curl up into a pillowcase on a whim, and then get grabbed and snuggled intentionally/unintentionally.

---

Otto: *dives into and curls up in a pillowcase* 'Ha! Still got it!'
Diedra: *sees lumpy pillow* :3 *picks it up and hefts it over her shoulder* "Good, I needed an extra for my afternoon nap!"
Otto: 'W-what?'
Diedra: *lies down and hugs lumpy Otto stuffed pillow to chest*
Otto: *me gusta face*
Good End

To reiterate -
Diedra is strong as horse.
Fast as horse.
Heavy as horse.

[Tyrant from the West]

Curvy as a horse
Has a long face.

Curvy works too.

[Tyrant from the West]

I honestly don't know if you would use the word curvy to describe a horse though.

I see...so a correction is in order.

So far, so good with the profiles! Wonderful job, everyone!

I'm surprised to see such a balance between males and females. THANK GOD. Holy balls. It just makes my day a little brighter knowing that not ALL of the characters' periods are going to be syncing up. XDD

Just kidding.

I'm glad to see that everyone is also getting along with one another. No fights. Just good ol' fashioned fun times.

OH! AND WE SHALL START TODAY! I DEEM THIS RP READY TO RP!

LET'S DO THIS!

Now, here's a question. Is the monochrome colour scheme for -everything-, including costumes? Or is it the performers in colour?

She stood on a box to give her an acceptable height difference and to make sure that all eyes were upon her.

Nope, Chuck Testa Otto Kistler...he is all up in dat box.
*waggles la eyebrows*

[GarlandChaos]

Count me in. I need to get back into the groove of RPing anyways.

Appearance

Name: Kashmir Makalov.
Gender: Male.
Age: 33 years old.
Role in the Circus: Sword swallower.
Magic (If Any): N/A.
Reason for Joining Cirque de Noir: He wanted to do what he loved with no risk, and no pain.
Past Life: He was a reckless yet friendly nobleman in Northern Russia with an interest in weaponry, especially swords. He took up sword swallowing after hearing stories about it from others. However, he once had a near death experience when a scimitar almost severed his left lung from his insides. He sold his soul so he could continue doing this without worrying those he loved and without risk of death.

Hope I'm not too late. ^^;

[Major Ursa]

There is already a sword swallower...but I'm not clear on whether this is a one person thing, or if multiples are allowed.

And, officially, the only clue Odd has of his savior is that she took the trunk he had been locked in, after saving him...for whatever reason.

[QT]

Promise to have my character up tonight. Work has just been killin me.

[Tyrant from the West]

Welp posted. Hope its ok if my guy is only 'really new' and not 'first day new' or 'wow pls hire me new'.

[MissCapnCrunch]

I be the other sword swallower they speak of.

You wanna go bro?

LOL. <3 Kidding; I'd love some friendly competition.
I can see Kashmir being very old school and classical about his technique
While Priscilla is just shoving down stuff with not much care or 'technique' to anything.

They could learn from one another ^^

The performers also wear monochrome, but each character should have an article on them tha gives them a pop of color. Anna is going to have a scarlet scarf. XD

He sounds like he should be from an older time period. Although I would like to keep it at one, two at most, if you could possibly come up with a different talent? I don't want to have duplicates right away.
