Bio: (and why you've come to the circus. NOTE: Any more newcomers must introduce/audition their character in IC to Grigori, meaning there are no more characters that can say they have been with the circus for some time)
CHARACTERS:
Grigori is the Ringleader; He runs the circus and is a master illusionist. He is kindhearted and cares for each of his freaks.
Betty-Fisheye is Grigori's assistant who is very much in love with him.
Age: Supposedly 23, however his knowledge of the culinary arts far exceeds that of his age.
Appearance: Manny is extremely vague in shape, almost as if his whole body is underneath a blur censor. Everyone knows he is there, everyone knows what he does, but if you were to stop and think about what he looks like you would come up with nothing, except he is always found in his chef uniform.This phenomena is extraordinarily confusing and as such many have adopted Virgil's attitude about it, don't sweat it. Manny doesn't mind it so why should we?
Personality: A happy, jovial, and all around friendly man(?) with a great love and respect for the craft.
Role: For the most part Manny is the main cook of the troupe, able to make just about anything you can think of by using his "magician" abilities to pull ingredients out of his toque. However Virgil's particular brand of cooking is new to him and as such does not know how to cook it, their mutual love for food has made them fast friends.
Other: Manny doesn't necessarily speak as much as the words are known within your head, like telepathy.

Age: 23
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Though she has left her face untouched, almost every inch of her body from the neck down is covered in various tattoos. She is naturally pale, with black hair and striking blue eyes. She almost always wears dresses or high waist shorts, usually going for a pin up look as it shows more skin, and contrasts with the image of a woman covered in tats.
Abilities: Acrobatics & Contortion- she is skilled in dance, gymnastics, and aerobatics as well. She does less juggling and diving, though she can do those feats if requested. She is more skilled at tightrope walking, trapeze, and other balance acts like riding the backs of the elephants, giant balls, and on the shoulders of other performers. She can twist her body into various shapes using her contortion, only showing off more of her tattoos as she moves and bends.
Personality: She is soft spoken but smiles a lot. She tends to think before speaking, and would much rather be looked at than touched or spoken to. Her body’s appearance and abilities allow a breaking of the ice she has trouble with herself. She is not the most social, though she is loveable and kind. She would find it hard to harm a spider much less a person.
Bio: Chey was born to a mother and father who were very much into the metal scene. Her father was in a band, a guitarist, and her mother travelled with him, bringing Chey along. Honestly the metalheads she encountered were some of the nicest people she’d ever met. They treated the little girl very kindly, especially since she was always polite. It was quite a contrast to see two, tatted up parents with unruly hair and gauged ears with a little girl looking innocent and bright eyed, usually wearing a prim, clean dress. Things always change though, and Chey’s father got into drugs. He overdosed when she was six. After that, her mother kind of spiraled out of control. She began following other bands around, and trying to get backstage to meet them. Her mother got into drugs as well, leaving Cheyenne to care for herself often. One time she was trying to care for her mother when one of the men her mother had brought home from a concert tried something with her while her mother was completely out of it. After that, something in her changed. She didn’t want to be ‘pretty’ anymore. And she didn’t want to be around this ‘family’ anymore. She gathered up her belongings and what money they had, reflecting the agony of losing her parents to drugs through the art on her body. The bonus was it made men look at her funny instead of with desire anymore, as men had begun to scare her. This was when she was about 15-16 years old. She never lost the desire to be a part of a true family though, and found Grigori’s freak circus. She had always been double jointed and practiced contortion alone by herself as a sort of hobby, but had no idea the trait was marketable. She was accepted into the circus for her contortion, while learning acrobatics which they discovered she was naturally skilled at, from the aging acrobat the circus currently had. After several years now, Chey is great at her craft, completely covered in tattoos, and not afraid of people like she once was. She is still relatively shy, but enjoys entertaining, and being around other oddballs like herself.

Bio: Abandoned by her family at a young age because she could seemingly tell creatures what to do, Kumo spent a long time on the streets. She couldn't go to school, and instead read books at the library to get information. This gave her a skill in reading fast. Kumo learned valuable skills that helped her survive and once she turned 14 Kumo was able to buy a flute and a poisonous spider. She joined the freak show to make some money and fit in with at least group of people.

→ Biography: Priscilla "The Pincushion" Rodriguez grew up in a very traditional Dominican household. Her father a strong business man, and her mother a housewife and stay at home mom, to Priscilla and her 5 older brothers. Cici was always a bit of the black sheep of her family, enjoying the morbid and macabre scene. Her parents on the other hand weren't too approving of Cici's ways, but tried to teach the woman to be independent and strong woman regardless of their own opinions.
After struggling through highschool and her first semester of college, Cici finally spoke to her parents seriously, "Mami, Papi.. I'm different than what you expected this princess to be. I need to go and spread my wings and find out where I fit in in this world." The words stung, but both her parents agreed, a happy strange daughter was always better than a miserable perfect one. They wished her luck on her journey, and hoped that their daughter would find happiness.
In a year Priscilla had learned the ability of sword swallowing, and dabbled in fire eating here and there. When Grigori had came to her town, she knew that this was her one and only chance to finally fit in some place, so she applied and was accepted with open arms by the family of beautiful freaks. She has been with Grigori's for about three years now, and is excited to continue working on her craft.

Bio: Finn's life has never been a good one, he was born a full-blooded werewolf and because of this he never looked human. From the day he was born, he was always considered a freak among his town as well as an outcast. His father revealed to him and his mother that Finn's grandfather was a werewolf. Upon hearing this, Finn wished that he had never been born with the curse of a werewolf, but that wasn't his choice to make and he had to live with his curse.

Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: Here is his appearance while with the other freaks and Here is his appearance while in public
Abilities: Vindle is able to manipulate water, however he doesn't need water around him to use his abilities. He also has ena; the part of him that truly makes him seem like a freak. Ena is a shiny, fish-scale like covering on his skin that allows him to live underwater. Due to ena, Vindle's skin is weak to UV light/sun rays when out of water. If out of the water for too long, his ena will gradually chip away like glass and his breathing becomes extremely heavy; death is the worst case scenario.
Personality: Vindle is a kind person to both freaks and normal people. He'll help those in need and will protect his friends. Vindle could also be described as outgoing, but a better term I think would be very sociable. Despite these nice traits, Vindle has what you might call a prey drive. He likes participating in violence and fighting, and as such, has become quite good at using his ability to manipulate water. Vindle won't hesitate to kill anyone in his way, though; his way, you ask? I guess you'll find out his goal later (as in, in the bio lol)
Bio: Vindle isn't quite sure where he came from. He believes he came from villages in the sea of which are myths, however he can't be 100% sure. An elderly man came upon him when he was a child on the beach near the water. The man took Vindle in; he was a regular man, not any freak of any kind. The elderly man passed away, though, and Vindle was left alone to fend for himself. Over those next few years, Vindle was chased after by police due to having ena. He eventually found the circus, joining it.

Personality: Is highly intelligent and knows it, although he tries to avoid conflict. Speaks a lot and quiet quickly, sometimes forgetting to breath in mid conversation and fainting. He is very fascinated with anatomy and can sometimes get carried away to the point of attempting to dissect someone he's talking to on the spot.
Bio: You will find out as the RP advances. He came to the circus for two reasons. One, there was a constant food source and two, it was a place to be accepted for his quirks. He has been apart of the circus for a while and as become close friends with the ringmaster.
Age

Gender
Male
Appearance
Adrien has a lanky frame, standing at about 6'4. He has soft chocolate brown eyes and pitch black hair that he neatly keeps combed back. His skin is completely snow white, as if he was wearing mime makeup. He commonly wears a red and white striped turtle neck sweater with black slacks, a pair of black dress shoes, and two white dress gloves. He also always wears a black bowler hat with a white strip going around it.
Abilities
Where most mimes merely pretend Adrien is the real deal. He is able to create invisible objects with a mere thought, such as walking up stairs that aren't, constructing unseen walls, or even the classic box. One unfortunate side effect is that Adrien is physically incapable of making any sort of sound. To the bizarre extent that he can't make other things cause sounds, if he slams a door it won't make a sound no matter how hard he tries.
Personality
Adrien is a very warm and friendly person. He is a kind hearted soul and wears a caring smile on his face. Do to his "soft spoken" nature he is very physical in his expressions, where a normal person would chuckle Adrien will throw his arms up in the air in cheer or do a few cartwheels. Another unattended side product of his silent nature is Adrien is an amazing listener and always has a open ear to whoever wants to vent their woes. He is pretty care free and loves jokes, though he can't tell any himself for obvious reasons. He is also very innocent for someone his age, he either doesn't get the sexual innuendoes others make or he ends up blushing like mad when he does, this paired with the fact that he is still a virgin tends to a lot of teasing from some of the others.
Bio
Adrien never got to know his birth parents, he was abandon on the door step of a church in Pairs, though he likes to think that they were different like him. He was raised among the other abandoned orphans by the nuns and priests of the church. Though he was constantly teased by the other children he took comfort in the nuns' words to him. "God makes all of his children special." He had made it into his teen years before he discovered his ability, he did it by complete accident. One of the kids Adrien had grown up with had decided to pick on him, which was pretty common at this point, but this time when Adrien held up his arms to defend for the punch the boy's hand ended up slamming against a invisible wall. From that point Adrien worked on training his "talent", he took up miming as he both loved the art and it fit his ability perfectly. He eventually left the orphanage to travel Europe, he made a meager living as a street performing mime for a few years before being picked up by Grigori's circus.
