Yahtzee's frown grew increasingly worried at Cora's explanation about Craig. The circus was big and Yahtzee could recognize faces well enough but he still didn't know everyone personally. Craig looked barely familiar and he just couldn't tell if it was from the circus or from somewhere else that he had seen him. Shrugging his worry aside though he convinced himself that all the answers would be within reach soon enough. If Wil was in the finale then joining up would be the best way to go about finding him however if he wasn't then they would at least be close enough by to beat whatever answers they needed out of Craig. Besides, the circus was always fun.
A loud bell began to clang from somewhere in the midst of the tent signalling the arrival of trickles of people and that the soon the show would need to begin. Several veteran performers set about gathering everyone, including the hygorns, to an area behind the tent itself. Standing in front of everyone was the Ringleader who gave everyone a nod and a wink before vanishing into the tent. From inside there came the collective murmurs of large amounts of people as trickles became floods and the tent rapidly filled up with a lively crowd. Yahtzee found his friends and smiled at them in what he hoped was a reassuring manner. "Don't worry about a thing. The circus is it's own country in a way so it's not like there will be any guards. Not ones on duty anyway. All we need to do is put on a show." His smile grew more confident and relaxed. "We should manage that. I mean what with our... you know. Just..." He tried to find words. "Don't hold back. This circus is all about over the top so if you hold back people will notice. It will be out of place. Nothing is unbelievable here. Not even us." A though suddenly hit Yahtzee and his eyes widened in realization. "Oooh oh oh oh!" He stumbled over his words. "We need costumes and stuff. Come on. The changing rooms aren't far."
While it was true that the small tent filled with clothing and props for the acts was indeed not far away it took a good few minutes to get there. It was a powder blue tent that was probably large enough to hold six or seven people. Around it were five smaller green tents for performers to get changed in. Yahtzee opened the flap and hurriedly moved to where he knew his clothing used to be stored. He knew that chances were good they had been thrown out but no, there they were. Folded neatly in a pile on top of large tog bag. His tog bag. "Wow..." His eyes widened in realization and he spun around in time to see a familiar silhouette fade away. Thank you. Sir. He said in his head as he took up his stuff and headed into one of the change rooms.
Several minutes passed before Yahtzee emerged in Fire Tamer clothing. The design differed slightly from circus to circus but this was a radical change. Most of the time it was something coarse and heavy duty that could withstand a few accidental brushes with fire but this wasn't a circus for people who made accidents. Even before discovering his powers Yahtzee never made mistakes despite the obvious risks he took. So this suite was not designed to tolerate any slip-ups and he knew it. It was a black suite with a red tie and no jacket. Just black pants, long-sleeved shirt and red tie in stark contrast. Instead of something resistant to fire it was something silky and glossy. It was flashy and Yahtzee loved it.
Time flew by. None of the performers could see the acts of their fellows but they could here the resounding applause as each group headed onto the stage following a short announcement from the Ringleader. During the time that passed Yahtzee busied himself digging through his tog bag. Many of the things were familiar. Flammable ropes and oils as well as several sheets of fabric that was designed to burn intensely and brightly for only a moment before being reduced completely to ash. What was far more interesting however was the box in one corner of the bag that contained several small bottles filled with chemicals that would alter the colour of flames to extreme degrees. Yahtzee made sure those were near the top before slinging the bag over his shoulder and getting ready to enter for there act.
As time drew on his stomach twisted in anticipation. There was still no sign of Wil and he was really starting to worry. In fact it was getting to the point that he would have done something drastic but before he could the flap was held open and all of them were unceremoniously ushered inside.
They stood at the edge of the huge sand pit they had seen earlier. The pews were lined with hundreds, if not thousands, of people. Standing on a grand wooden podium in the center was the Ringleader. "Ladies and Gentlemen our final act will be so spectacular and astounding that it will leave all of you speechless. I dare say there will not even be applause after this such is the magnitude of it's astounding beauty and innovation. These people that you see before have been rumoured to be the embodiment of both the beauty and destructiveness of nature itself. Other rumours say that they are merely experiments gone wrong. Or escaped. Nobody knows from where they hailed from but we do know this: What you see here may change everything that you believe. Introducing for the first time: The Elementals!" The Ringleader waved a hand at them and threw his cloak around himself. The cloak grew as it moved until the entire podium was engulfed in swirling fabric and when it cleared away there was nothing but a small cloth floating in the wind.
"Nothing is unbelievable." Yahtzee said again as a fierce grin pulled at his face and he ran forwards to the center of the pit with his arms outstretched. Once there he dropped the tog bag and drew out two long, flowing whips as well as taking a swig from one of the bottles from earlier. He spun in a circle with the ropes spinning in a spiral around him then he flicked his hands and they shot up to either side of him. As they cracked they suddenly burst brightly into flame. That wasn't actually his power being used. The rope was filled with small rocks that sparked loudly when struck together and ignited the oil that coated it. Yahtzee spun the ropes in complex patterns and spirals around him entrancing the audience with a smooth movements. He sloshed the liquid around his mouth a few times then focused his power and released it in a large billow of bright silver flame that nearly reached the top of the tent before fading away. Yahtzee grinned and glanced around at the others.

How you could work in a team: Offensive.
Personality: Brash and impatient and, often unfortunately, full of energy. He is excitable and loves being entertained whether it be through a fight or chilling with friends. When it does come to the former however he loses his normal easy-going demeanor and becomes totally focused on the task at hand.
History: Gil's parents were thieves and unfortunately not particularly good. He spent most of his early childhood living in squalor before his parents were caught and he was taken away to live in a foster home. It was four years before his parents came back and when they did he relished the opportunity to leave with them, then leave them. Striking out on his own at a young age he fell in with the 'wrong' crowd and quickly found them distasteful. In an effort to get away from all of it he inadvertently discovered his burgeoning abilities. Not long after that a silent onlooker approached about the opportunity to go somewhere that would enhance and train his abilities.
Other: His greatest wish is that he learn to fly...
