*Disclaimer: You will be expected to complete your CS, Jubilee gets 'unknown' privileges because he's the head of the show. XD
Name: Unknown

Alias: James Jubilee

Age: Appears to be around 30-40

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Role: Ringmaster

Years with the Circus: 7 (Since it's founding)

Background: He founded Circus Jamboree seven years ago and has been ringmaster ever since. Slowly he's added to the circus' numbers by recruiting people he's come across over the years. His recruiting process is mostly secret, but he has managed to assemble a crew that are both talented performers and talented warriors. It is unknown what he did before the circus, or what he intends to do with the circus in the future. It is suspected that he is some kind of mastermind criminal, but this rumor has never been confirmed. To the majority of the cast he is respected and held at arms distance. The only people he seems to have opened up to a little bit are his clowns who are the ones usually at his side.

Skills: Announcer - Jubilee has a very loud, almost bewitching voice which allows him to captivate performers and audiences alike. Once you start listening to him talk it is very hard to look away. It's almost like he puts a spell over the audience to force them into listening to his every word.

Command - Jubilee is very good at giving orders that are easy to understand and easy to follow. His planning skills are impeccable, even when he's out of his element, and is good at accommodating different personalities and skill-sets into his plans. Additionally, he is good at signalling out trouble and therefore is good at cutting the problem area off before it begins to fester - this applies to both danger from outside the circus and within.

Unknown - It is presumed that Jubilee has some kind of combat capability, but nobody has ever witnessed him fight.

Weaknesses: Disguise - It is incredibly hard for Jubilee to disguise his long, flaming orange hair. Therefore he cannot go undercover at all and only stays within the bounds of the circus.

Unknown - Due to the fact that Jubilee reveals so little about himself, it is hard to say what his weaknesses may be. He never enters into battle, instead sending his circus out for him, so both combat capabilities and weaknesses are unknown. His outward personality is as a leader and an announcer, but as he is competent at both it is hard to derive weaknesses from those attributes.

 

[Capricornus]

Name:
Yelena Sabatha Aeris

Alias:
Salem

Age:
20

Gender:
Female

Species:
Elf

Preferred Role:
Acrobat

Years in the Circus:
2

Appearance:

Background:
Yelena grew up in a middle-class family. They weren't living in luxury, but they had everything they needed and slightly more. Her father, an elf, worked as a chemist and her mother, who is also an elf, worked as an apothecary. Ever since she was born, her career path was settled, although Yelena herself was against it.
Being pureblood elves, her parents often frowned upon her interest in, what they called, 'lesser species', especially orcs. This didn't stop her fascination. She was especially interested in their brute force.
During her childhood she was drilled to be the perfect child, according to her parents. She had to spend a lot of her time studying, which kept her from doing what she actually enjoyed.
Once she'd had enough of it, she decided to run away at the age of 16. She still remembers seeing a few 'Missed' posters here and there.
She often stayed at inns, where she made some money by helping out as a waitress. This was when she developed her 'flirting' skills, as she often conviced her clients to tip more than needed.
As the job didn't provide as much money as she needed, it still offered her a place to stay. This was when she found out about a small black market where there were a few small jobs, much like missions, she could do to acquire the needed money as soon as possible. Most of those jobs consisted of robbery. One or two even invovled worse crimes, such as assassination.
She rarely ever stayed for a long time at the same place, as she was often searched for said robbery. That's when, at the age of 18, she learned about a certain Circus, where she found the perfect place to stay at.


Skills:
Her weapons consist merely of a few daggers. Attached to a few fortified strings they serve as a ranged weapon, as she's able to throw them and pull them back. She prefers keeping a certain distance from her enemy, but should they come too close, she can easily use those same daggers as a melee weapon.
Outside of fights, her linguistic skills are where she shines. Being fluent in at least six different languages, it's fairly easy for her to communicate with creatures from all around the world.
Another skills she loves to use to get things done her way is flirtation. She knows exactly who's desperate enough to fall for her mind games, and even though the success rate is relatively high, it sometimes tends to backfire once the victim realizes what she's doing.

Weaknesses:
Although Elves are well known for having superior senses, Yelena's lack of focus often leads to her spacing out and thus ignoring those important factors.
Another problem she experiences while fighting is that she's often and easily overwhelmed, which means that she prefers one on one fights over team fights.
One of Yelena's physical weaknesses is her left leg, specifically her left calf. She usually calls it her 'weak leg', trying to go slightly easier on it during her stunts. Any heavy impact on it could cause her to immediately lose her balance or even worse, losing her entire strength in said leg for at least a few hours.

Other:
She rarely talks about her past, as she tends to get somewhat emotional about it. Thus, only few know how she ended up in the circus.

Species:
Human

Preferred Role:
Acrobat

Years with the Circus
2

Skills:
Acrobatic
Using ribbons
Hand to hand combat
Stealth
Dancing

Weaknesses:
WIP

Other:
There is one trick that is the crowd's favorite but she doesn't perform it all the time. To keep them wanting more she only does it may once or twice a year. It's called The butterfly. Her entire body is wrapped with ribbon and then at the end of the performance she has made out of the ribbon and has made butterfly wings out of her ribbon and is holding her up in the air. Best part about the trick is that she has no clothes on underneath the ribbon so she has to make sure she always has enough ribbon on her body as she swings to tricks and unravels herself. It's hard but she manages every time and of course she add in new things to keep it interesting.

Background:
Merui was a traveling Gypsy she and her family traveled all around and would stop at different towns and do different types of performances and also fortune telling as well. Pirya was very talented and was quite acrobatic. She did all sorts of tricks that would impressed her audience. The tricks she did were with ribbons. She swing around on her ribbons and to cool tricks. But they were hard to do she had to pick a spot in whatever town they were in and fix it up so she could perform her tricks. She was never able to go all out like she wanted. Even though people liked her tricks it was hard to get any real respect because of what she was and she hated it. Her life of as a gypsy wasn't easy but she never complained she enjoyed traveling around and sometimes would even make a friend or two. One day while she was doing one of her acrobatic tricks someone happen to see her. A man named James introduced himself and that was when her life took a whole new turn. This man apparently was the Ringmaster of the Jamboree Circus and wanted her to join. Of course she had to show him what she could really do at first and he seemed very impressed and she became a official acrobat.

She's fine but the point of the circus is that they are also warriors, and Rui doesn't have any reason to have combat abilities. Traveling as a gypsy doesn't seem like justification for me to make her into a warrior. Additionally, could you make the text a bit bigger please? >-< It's hard for me to read. XD

[August]

Name:
Nyx Ephesus
Alias:
Artemis
Age:
19
Gender:
Male
Species:
Human
Preferred Role:
Acrobat
Years with the Circus:
3 years
Appearance:

Nyx has a fairly slim figure with hints of muscles, that is usually not highlighted by his clothes until he is performing. He has a tooth gap in the front of his teeth on the upper set which only makes him appear more childish than his youthful appearance already does.
Nyx's hair is a very dark shade of brown that usually appears to be black. He has ruffled hair that is styled into somewhat of a pixie cut and curls slightly at the end.
Background:
Nyx already had an unusual background, being born into a small traveling circus whose main attraction were the peculiarities. Nyx's family were acrobats, but they also showcased their unnatural flexibility to do death defying stunts or escape things. What made Nyx stand out from the rest was his incapability to experience emotions like others.
With the guidance of his mother, Nyx had started to learn to mimic emotions to make friends with the others. Although he was able to live normally among his peers, Nyx had always felt the dreadful feeling that he was missing something, and that in a way he was dead.
His interest began in small animals, usually kittens in which he would play with. This only evolved into humans when a heckler continued to stalk the small traveling circus, and as Nyx toyed with his small animals he overheard various conversations about how everyone wished the man would just vanish . . . There was a rumor that the man had a taste for young ladies, and since he didn't understand the concept of morality he simply just lured the man into a tent and did what everyone wanted to happen to him.
The heckler was never seen again, and Nyx had realized that in those moments of disposing of the annoyance that he had felt more alive than he had ever felt in his life. As his circus traveled, Nyx had started to continue with his traps to lure unsuspecting people (usually those who gave the small circus trouble). It didn't take long for his mother to catch on to his antics.
She warned him that if he didn't stop, she would expose him. Nyx did not take this threat lightly. He had finally found something that aroused emotions from him, and he came to the conclusion that he would never let anyone take this one joy away from him . . . So he disposed of her as well.
By this time, the circus was under and investigation for the string of murders that seemed to take place wherever they went. Knowing his time with this circus was at an end, he fabricated a story that would point fingers at the ringleader who had rumored relationships with his mother. It would appear that the man was behind all of the murders, and had taken out his mother after a lover's qualm.

Nyx afterwards traveled on his own, carrying out his guilty pleasures only being stopped once by a certain ringleader that he had the mistake of trying to kill. Since then, he had joined the circus in which he could freely enjoy his favorite hobby.

Skills:
-Archery
-Acrobatics
-Contortionist
-Escape Artist
-Disguises/Crosdressing
Weaknesses:
-The cold. In the cold, muscles stiffen which is bad news for any outstanding signs of flexibility.
-Upfront encounters. When one relies on tricking others, or using the art of surprise all advantages from a stealth (or a snipping) attack vanishes in an upfront encounter.
-While Nyx can fight in melee range, he only can uses knives or other types of small blades. His technique requires him to act swiftly to get close to strike and avoid getting lashed at. This is why he prefers trickery and surprise attacks, because in order to make a killing blow he has to be quick and extremely close.
-Being unable to feel emotions regular can make it hard for him to understand others, and sometimes he will get himself into dangerous situations since he is unable to grasp the concept of fear. Fear is the mind's way of warning the body of potential danger, and if you can't feel fear regular you don't really get that "hey this could kill you and you should probably run away" heads up.
Other:
Nyx has a cat named Minx with him, but it isn't always seen. The cat is terribly scared, and has a missing eye. It can be assumed that this cat is one of the sole survivors of the games he used(?) to play with small animals. Or maybe it is actually just a new Minx every time.

There are some emotions Nyx is unable to mimic, such as anger. Before he had been able to just play it off as being a cutesy sort of person who couldn't get angry at people.

Most of Nyx's combative techniques are centered around his life in a small circus, picking up skills from other fellow performers. He simply converted the skills learned to fulfill his desire to kill, so in a way they are semi self-taught as well.

One of Nyx's main tricks is being able to balance on his hands and contort his body to fire a bow and arrow with pinpoint accuracy using his feet.
His performances varies as sometimes he poses as a female and sometimes he doesn't. When he does crossdress he goes by "Mimi" and goes into full character of being a cutesy little girl. Mimi is often used to lure men to places where he can toy with them. It seems like he enjoys being Mimi almost as much as he enjoys killing because he is able to experience emotions . . . Or maybe when in character he is a better actor when it comes to mimicking emotions.​

CS Sheet

Name:
Gealach Bansealgair

Alias:
Moon Huntress
(Which, little known to others is in fact the direct translation of her name)

Age:
19

Gender:
Female

Species:
Half Orc/Half Elf

Preferred Role:
Acrobat
[Though if needed am fine with the role of animal trainer]

Years with the Circus:
2 and a half years.

Appearance:


Height-
6'4"

Weight-
54kg

Complexion-
Pale green skin tone, a mix between that of an orcs general one and an elves. (Shown above)

Eye colour-
A vibrant marron/orange shade, almost melting into a liquid gold and reflective like rays of sun. (Pictured above)

Hair colour-
Shown in the above image it's a darker green shade with darker tints throughout.

Markings/Piercings/Tattoos-
Light scarring across her body here and there, learnings on her ears and a few strands of her hair are braided, her tattoo's are those features in the above image.

Outfit/clothing-
Her outfits mostly consist of a similar style to what is featured in the picture, light leather-type material such as an orc would wear pieced together with elf like skill and tactics such as metal rings or tightly thread string.

Background:
"If your whole life you were raised to be one thing, told where your place was and what your rights were, what would it feel like to suddenly break free? To leave it all behind in wake of true love, for a glimpse of hope into your future, that's what I asked my parents for the longest time-…. huh, it must sound strange, something like me wondering what that would feel like, but really, I think everyone longs for the warmth of love, somewhere deep within their hearts."- Gealach.

Something untold, something mysterious and best put unexpected. The love that bloomed between the rebellious orc and the runaway elf was a story akin to that of a fairy tale upon whose ears of which it fell, both pressed by title, by claim and responsibilities, and yet most would see them a world apart. It was together they found comfort, the strength to carry and and a will of survival like none they had ever felt before, true love….

And it was this true love that brought their daughter into the world, tucked away deep within a forrest the child of both power and wisdom was born, what most would call unthinkable or somehow wrong they saw with only beauty in their eyes, her own stared back with the strength of a warrior and the cunning of the moonlights glow and so it wold be she'd be named after the two in a combination of their naive tongue, Gealach Bansealgair or to its origins, Moon Huntress.

She grew up safely kept away from society with her parents forbidden love, raised with hope and kindness she was taught to fight from a young age, though only for protection they would repeat and tell her over and over the dangers of what could happen if she were not careful, they wanted to protect their sweet daughter with all their hearts, and that is what they did. She climbed trees during the day and helped her farther hunt at night, trained in the intellect of the elvish ways by her mother and how to best use her combat skills from her orc farther.

Upon turning roughly sixteen years in age was when she stepped over the line, cloaked in a dark hood she ventured into town in order to grab food for the oncoming winter but she'd never expected to be caught stealing, nor had she expected to be pushed down an alley and have to mercilessly attack the men before her in order to escape, spotting a light off in the distance fleeing from the chase she ended up taking shelter within a circus tent, at first planning to only wait out the attack and smugly mock the acrobats from down below, something that very shortly she'd find out was not all a easy as it seemed, especially when trying to show off.

She missed her parents, of course. But they were safer without her there for the time being, she would return one day with enough money and knowledge to support them all and with the power to bring them out of hiding once and for all. Or- at the very least that's what she tells those who ask, but what exactly this strange fairytale hides beneath its innocent surface is a whole other story.

And as they say, as one chapter closes, another begins.

Skills:
-Her thick-skin inherited from her farther and her speed from her mother, not to mention the training she participated in as a child within the forrest, ducking and weaving through branches, trees, thistles, bushes and more means she'd incredibly agile.

-High stamina, she can go for decent distances or long stretches before tiering too much, meaning she's very effective on long missions or throughout longer missions as she's designed to, she can take the hits and wear out the enemy until even her weak strength can take them out.

-Stealth, she's great at sneaking through corners and delicately stepping around her area, her light build an skill of an acrobat coming through.

-Climbing, being raised in a forrest meant a lot of tree climbing, she can scale most surfaces as long as they have something or her to grip onto, and she isn't distracted too much.

-Daggers and small, sharp objects are her choice of weapon and what she's the most used to, easy to conceal and effective to use in her kinds of missions.

Weaknesses:
-Despite her abilities in speed and her tough-skinned nature her build and natural characteristics means she can't hit back nearly as fast as she can run, her strength might even be considered as below par for that of a human when it comes to brute force.

-Despite her elven heritage her eyesight isn't the best to say the least, her movements heavily rely on touch and sound for her and her performances have to be planned out unless she wants to improvise.

-Despite not getting sick too often she is abnormally susceptible to catching colds, acting almost like the person were some horrifying creature if they have such a disease currently.

-Her appearance is something she keeps hidden pretty well when it comes to travelling through certain areas, especially those of slavery in Ruan an high ranking elven establishments in Pirya, her looks are an obvious tell to her heritage and both endanger herself, and her parents if they were ever to be seen together, not to mention she gets treated very strangely because of it.

-She can't wield heavy weapons such as broad swords or axe's effectively at all, and is much better suited to the smaller variants of such.

Other:
-She trains hard every day though would never admit it, her personality can be somewhat similar to that of a tsundere when it comes to that sort of thing.

-Her skill with blades was taught to her by her mother and farther.

-Her parents have told her from a very young age to keep her heritage a secret so she does not reap repercussions from it and she does so, they love her very much however and she knows it's only to protect her from others.

-Growing up she always had a distaste for stronger tasting things, much preferring a blander palette such as bread or soup to any pf that 'fancy stuff'.

-She's oddly adept in the wilderness but rather awkward when it comes to the busier, more populated areas.

-And finally! The stats of orc/elf hybrids are as follows for those who are interested/if want to know them-

<><><><><><><><><>
Orc/Elf
Lifespan: 70-80
Height Span: 6"3 to 6"6

Age: 45
Gender: Male

Species: Humain

Preferred Role: Apothecary

Years with the Circus: 7

Appearance:


Background: He was chosen to be an apothecary by his parent, and started studying at the age of 8. He excelled in his studies, taking only 22 years instead of the usual 25. He found a love interest, that went insane. He made his first MEP, a sanity MEP, for her, and started going crazy, until he murdered his lover, ran away and got found by Jubilee. He was the first members to join the circus. as the years passed, his apothecary and fighting skills further increased. His personnality split. He usually is calm and collected, some may say emotionless, but when he fought, he became a sadistic madman.
Skills: A very skilled apothecary and chemist, he is even able to make MEPs. He isn't a burden in fights, either. His erratic and unpredictable style, paired with his incredible speed, makes him a formidable opponent.

Weaknesses:
-Insane: He might refuse to do certain tasks, or could even turn on someone without a warning.
-Physically weak: He wouldn't win a strength contest against pretty much anyone, having spent his entire life studying. He has to rely on his speed and fighting style.

Years with the Circus:

Appearance:

Background:
Before Kilyn joined the circus she lived with her family in Farnfoss. She got a long well with her family but it was her father that taught her hand to hand combat. Being trained in the army he knew quite a bit about hand to hand combat and was happy to teach her all he knew. Where as her family was happy with there current lives, Kilyn was bored she was just missing some excitement in her life learning hand to hand combat from her father just wasn't enough. She worked different jobs to find that excitement but ending up with nothing. That was until she saw a flyer for the Circus Jamboree which peaked her interest greatly. This is what led her to join them.

She looks good but under the "background" section I'm looking for more what she did before the circus started. I'd also like to know where she got her combat abilities from, since if she's good at it I'd like to have justification for it. ^^

[Berries]

Name: Johann Kimble

Alias: Mad Jo, Jo the Mad, Jo

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Species: Orc

Role: Strongman

Years with the Circus: 5

Background: Born to a slave family in Ruan, Jo never knew his family because immediately after he was weaned he was taken away by the owner and sold. After that he was traded between multiple different slave owners until he turned ten when he was eventually bought by a fighting arena in Ruan which made money off of pitting orcs together to fight. A lot of nobles and wealthy people would come to watch and endorse the fighters, and the orcs would be able to buy their own freedom if they got enough endorsements. However, at that young age, Jo didn't comprehend ideas such as freedom and so he fought purely for the sake of it.

By the time he turned seventeen, he had finally begun to comprehend the fact that he was being enslaved so he began to fight all the harder to earn his freedom. When he turned twenty, he finally had enough endorsements to free himself after ten long years of battle. However, even after he was turned loose, he had nowhere to go. He wandered around aimlessly for a year, managing to make it out of Ruan and into Secet, where he eventually ran into James Jubilee. Feeling the need to have some form of purpose in his life, Jo accepted a job at the circus and has been a performer ever since.​

Skills: Pain Tolerance - Due to the thick skin that orcs possess, it is very hard to break through Jo's skin and cause him pain. Additionally, he's sustained so many injuries in the past that he has become somewhat oblivious to injury. This means that in battle, even if he is hurt, he will just go right on fighting quite literally until he might die. That fact also makes this attribute dangerous because he pushes his body beyond its limits and it's always a concern that he may simply collapse in the middle of a battlefield from overexertion or accumulated injury. Usually he comes out of a fight completely scratched up and with a few broken bones, meaning that he has to take awhile to heal up as well.

Strength - Another typical orc attribute, Jo has an unbelievable amount of pure brute strength. Lifting people is easy for him, with is a benefit to circus tricks, and even throwing people around is made to look easy when he's the one doing it. This extends into battle because he carries an incredibly heavy metal cleaver with jagged edges as a weapon. Most people struggle to lift the weapon, let alone swing it around, and Jo can deal some devastating blows with the force of the weapon's weight and momentum behind it.

Combat - Jo has grown up fighting so it's not a surprise that he's good at it. While he is far from the fastest or the most agile, his strength combined with his weapon of choice can wipe out scores of enemies with ease. It is easy to hit him if one is quick enough, but fortunately for Jo his pain tolerance allows him to continue fighting even if he's hurt. He has no sense of strategy so he will simply plow through everything that happens to be in his way until he is told to stop, which is both a bonus but also a weakness because he often finds himself in the middle of trouble with no way out. While he is mostly a close-range fighter, he can also throw projectiles quite far meaning that he has some potential for long-distance fighting as well.

Weaknesses: Intellect - As generally expected from orcs, Jo isn't very intelligent. Thinking of plans and strategies are beyond him, and he doesn't like to follow the schemes of others either. In his mind, everything is very simple and straight forward: if you don't like it, kill it, and if you like it, protect it at all costs. This way of thinking means that he tends to be pretty self-sacrificial because he just throws himself into battle depending on his black and white motives. His movements tend to be very predictable and easy to counter, and it is also very easy to predict what is on his mind. Finally, his vocabulary isn't very big so any use of "big words" will totally go over his head, and he has difficulty comprehending forms of humor such as sarcasm which he will take offense to.

Vision - Due to a scar over his left eye, Jo is unable to see out of it. This means that he has a massive blindspot to his left which is easy to hit him in. While his right eye isn't injured, he still does have a variety of other vision impairments which are speculated to be the result of numerous head traumas over the years. The most prominent impairment is that his light perception is awry and he has a lot of difficulty seeing in any dim-lit situation. This means that indoors he fumbles around a lot because the lighting isn't strong enough, but also in dawn/dusk situations he has trouble seeing. The less severe impairment of his sight is that he is slightly colorblind, so he has difficulty picking out similar shades of color out from one another.

Cooperation - Jo doesn't like to listen much. While he will listen for a little bit, unless the point is immediately given he will lose interest and disregard it entirely. This means that when anybody is trying to explain something elaborate to him he will ignore it completely. Additionally, if he doesn't understand what is being told to him he will also just stop listening because he doesn't want to have to waste effort on comprehending what is being said. This means that unless you've mastered the order of giving him directions, he will not do anything that you say. During battle he also tends to disregard anything that has been said to him and just go off on his own until he ends up in a bad spot and needs rescuing.

Other: He has used so many strength PEPs that they have lost all effect on him.

 

[August]

Name:
Clyde Cyprian
Alias:
Cookie
Age: (18+)
32
Gender:
Male
Species:
Human
Preferred Role:
Clown
Years with the Circus:
6
Appearance:

Background:
The Cyprian family is a well known family in Sect, being a family with the highest level of training started the moment a Cyprian is a month old (at least that is the rumor, Clyde sometimes denies this but other times he says nothing). The family is trained to the highest level of skill for the sole purpose of serving an extremely powerful and wealthy family. They act as secret bodyguards that pose as their assigned master's personal servant, tending to their master 24/7 for the rest of their master and their own lives. Normally a Cyprian is assigned to their masters as soon as the master is born, but this was not the case for Clyde.
When Clyde was going through his training, the family didn't have any children in line to be born so he simply just continued training. He never expected to be assigned to a specific master, at least not so soon. Around the time he was 12 and still just training in case a new master was born, he was needed to replace a former bodyguard to a young Master. The former bodyguard was actually killed by his own Master, so Clyde was fully aware what he was getting into.
Clyde's new Master was a peculiar one, a bit crazy and many claimed he would destroy the entire family. Which in all fairness was probably true, but Clyde took a liking to his strange Master. Life was never boring serving the Master, and he probably had a more interesting life than most Cyprian's got to experience while serving their masters. When Clyde was around the age of 18, his master had seemingly snapped and went on a killing spree. Of course Clyde, being the loyal bodyguard he was followed his Master.
Years passed before they returned to their former home . . . Where they got into more trouble which caused them to separate. A year after Jubilee had started his circus, Clyde found himself joining the group for unknown causes other than keeping an out for his former Master, presumably using the travel of the Circus to be on the look out for his Master.

Skills:
Being a clown, Clyde is a jack of all trades being able to fulfill any roles in the circus if needed. Meaning he has skills in acrobats (not his favorite), and being a strongman. His primary role was an animal tamer and he still retains all of his skill with controlling animals.

Due to his background, Clyde has acquired many skills. He is extremely durable for a human, strong enough to go against an orc (and even restrain one if needed). His fighting skills are unusually at a high level, making it obvious he grew up with some serious training. It is also obvious what his training was for considering how attentive he is as well as his first aid skills.

Clyde has an unnatural reaction time, and is good at predictions. He relies on this because although he can run for a very long time, he is not a speed runner and if he wants to catch someone he has to predict where they'll run and just go straight there to cut them off. Some people are much harder to predict though, so getting others to wait at potential escape points someone would take would usually be his go-to if the circus had to silence someone.

His cleanup game makes janitors all around jealous. To ensure the circus's crimes are never traced back to the circus, Clyde acts as some sort of cover up for the group. Concealing their tracks, destroying any links to circus. Often silencing witnesses, disposing of bodies, weapons, etc. He is so good at covering up things, sometimes it takes weeks for people to realize someone is missing and by then they are gone.

While Clyde has a wide range of weaponry, his most seen weapon is a whip. He is actually really proficient with it, being able to smack a flying dagger/arrow out of midair with it. Very useful for the occasion two members get into a fight to the death. It seems like he has experience with nearly every weapon handed to him . . . Even spoons.

Weaknesses:
As stated before, Clyde is a distance runner, not a speed runner. He isn't the fastest runner so you can outrun him. He might just go in another direction and cut you off, but you can still run faster than him.

Clyde is very loyal to the circus and its ringleader. He would do anything to ensure the safety of the circus and its Ringleader. The only exception of this would be if a member of the circus betrayals them or could potentially cause the destruction of the circus. Other than that, he would do anything for the Circus.

While he is proficient with weapons, he doesn't usually strike to kill, he strikes to disarm or detain. He can kill, but only when needed and on orders from the Ringleader. Clyde isn't actually like the others who came here to take hit jobs, he is here on for his own reasons. It seems like he doesn't actually have a taste for killing. He doesn't mind it too much, but it isn't something he is in love with either.

Certain things make him uneasy for mostly unknown reasons. Prime examples are crying, kids, cutesy things, and fish. He doesn't know how to handle kids or people who are crying but the other stuff is something that is a true mystery.

Clyde loves cats. When he sees a cat he just has to fawn over it, regardless of the situation. They could be slaying a dragon and off in the distance Clyde is just holding a kitty and admiring its paws. This is probably one of the greatest ways to distract the usually refined and alert character he is.
Other:
Although he is trained in other fields of the circus, Clyde favors animal trainers . . . Mostly because of the lions, and he loves lions because lions are big cats. Most of the animals used in the circus were brought in by Clyde. In a way, the animals are kind of like his own kind of family that he tends to in his free time.
Because Clyde started out as an animal training and helped bring in many of the animals, Clyde tends to favor animal tamers more. Probably even help them settle into the role just to ensure the animals would fine (especially the lions).
Other than fighting skills, being a servant to his Master gave Clyde a wide skill set such as sewing, cooking, testing for poisons, cleaning, tending to the sick, etc. You know, normal servant stuff. This doesn't mean anyone could just order him around, only the Ringleader can.​

 

[Kloudy]

Name:
Stronk, son of Stronk Stronkson

Alias:
"Stronk" (Everyone thinks that's just his nickname, not his actual name).

Age:
37

Gender:
Male

Species:
Orc

Preferred Role:
Clown

Years with the Circus:
5

Appearance:

Background:
Stronk was born to the war chief of the White-Skin clan. Being the chief's first son, he was chosen to be the clan's champion. His entire life henceforth was a regime of training, hunting, sparring, training, eating, raiding, training, eating, sleeping and repeating all of that day by day. Although Stronk does not really remember this, he seems to briefly recall a strange elf visiting his father one day. His father, generally unconcerned with talking to other species, had accepted whatever the elf had to say. The elf then came over to Stronk and gave him a drink, to which Stronk simply drank without care. After that, Stronk never felt he same.

It was often custom of warriors in the White-Skin clan to be sent off to a battlehardened place to become a man when they came of age. Some were sent on voyages to battle the sea serpent or other creatures of the deep. Some were sent on great raids in the cold wastes of Secet. But Stronk was sent to the most gruelling place on Deva for an orc: Ruan.

Upon arrival, Stronk was immediately captured by rich profiteers looking to make some cash. The battle arena was where he was sent at the ripe age of 16. Stronk had realised early that it was merely a death pit to amuse the rich Ruan citizens and Stronk resented it in its entirety. He could not believe his father had allowed this and vowed to one day free all the orcs held captive, to one day turn the tables so the other races knew how it felt to be enslaved.

Stronk spent 14 long years fighting in the pits, earning himself quite a reputation amongst the pit fighters. It was during these years that Stronk used a weapon he had fashioned before leaving the clan, his dual claw gauntlet drenched in the acid of a fierce acid dragon from one raid. A favourite of the crowd, it was almost a shock when he finally turned against them. Somehow, Stronk had the smarts to gather the other Orc fighters into a small rebellion, to which they would break out. Eventually, Stronk had gathered a large part of the arena's participants into a small army that he used to storm the arena entrances and thus the city gates, ensuring freedom.

The next 2 years were a desperate hit and run game with the Ruan military and Stronk's rebels. Each raid would kill many Ruan's, steal their supplies and free more enslaved orcs. His father eventually heard of this and had roared with laughter, unable to comprehend what his son had done with anything else but hilarity. Either way, his son's feats were impressive and stayed true to a champion orc. As such, he gave his son his sword: The Horrortooth. Said to have been moulded from the pulled tooth from the maw of the dragon Horrorbrute in a glorious battle between the dragon and the clan. The steel was made from the finest metal the dwarves in Secet could find, their craftsmanship creating the perfect weapon of destruction amongst the clan, a weapon so heavy that only a champion of orcs could wield it. It has been seen to cleave men in half with a single strike, armour and all, and has never seen the day where it would break.

Eventually, after two glorious years, even with this legendary weapon and his undefeatable skills, Stronk's rebellion was finally overwhelmed by the Ruan forces, many orcs being captured or killed. Fortunately, Stronk saw the benefit of him escaping rather than fighting to the death as most orcs would, allowing him to one day revive the rebellion aknew, and stronger than ever before. But he had to lay low for a while as the forces of Ruan still wanted his head for his war crimes. Choosing to be a simple strongman for Jubilee's mercenary circus, it was not after a whole year of staying quiet and doing his job was he finally recognised for his unnatural intelligence and incredible combat prowess, something that showed he deserved a promotion to clown for his skills and clear loyalty. Stronk remained in this position for another four years, and will continued to do so at the present.

Skills:
-Being really REALLY strong. More so than normal orcs.

-Surprisingly fast and agile, mainly in quick short bursts.

-Incredibly reactive with impressive reflexes. Aids his flawlessly destructive combat style.

-Unusually advanced intellect (for an Orc, above average for a human, near elf-level). Is able to formulate and understand complex battle strategies and hold meaningful conversations. Mind games and deceptions of such will not work in him.

-Close combat master. His skill with most heavy weaponry, such as his battlesword, is unmatched. Whether it is armed combat or literally ripping people apart with his bare hands, it is generally unwise to face Stronk head on at short distance.


-Extensive leadership experience on the battlefield (i.e. organising and leading a small army). Stronk can command forces effectively, employing advanced tactics and strategies in battle to lead his side to victory.

-Naturally armoured with nearly impenetrably skin, Stronk can actually tank hits from light weaponry for a short while. Attacks from small arrows, daggers and whips may only stagger him without really causing much damage. Concentrated light attacks on one spot can break through his skin, however.

Weaknesses:
-Never uses ranged weaponry ever, unless it's throwing whatever he's currently holding.

-Although he's agile and fast, he can't really run long distance due to his weight.

-He has average orc stamina.

-He can't really use light weaponry such as daggers or whips, his large hands are not dexterous enough for it.

-Although Stronk's mind is advanced for his species, he is also very straightforward, honest and barefaced. He doesn't really bother with lies, sarcasm or other forms of wordplay. He is very direct in his words as he is with his actions, which can sometimes be detrimental. As such, his diplomacy skills are not particularly developed.

-He is a wanted orc. The Ruan law enforcement have a high bounty out for his head and are constantly searching for him. This means he generally has to keep a low profile when not on missions to avoid unwanted attention. He usually wears a large heavy cloak to cover himself to avoid identification, but this only really works provided people don't get a good look at him.

-Stronk does not do stealth. His frame is too bulky for light and silent movement.

-Stronk can be susceptible to stealth attacks as his detection senses are not entirely that advanced as an orc. Repeatedly sneaking up on him and getting a good hit in before retreating is a very effective method of dispatching him.

Other:
Stronk's goal is to finally unite the two feuding Orc clans, free all the Orc slaves in Ruan and take the country over - making it an Orc controlled territory.

Stronk's weapons of choice are a dual black claw gauntlet that is coated in the acid of that acid dragon and a large orc battlesword given to him by his father. The sword is ridiculously heavy even by orc standards, despite its otherwise generic looks.

Stronk generally helps the strongmen as a special act, lifting ridiculously large or heavy things such as ten of the audience members on each arm. He also has the trick of having people shoot arrows at his body, to which they have no effect. As well as breaking anything the audience members give him, a prize going out to those who give him something he can't break.

Gragas the Great

Name: Gregory Knox

Alias: Gragas the Great, The Mountain - Gregory has chosen a fake name to protect his real identity.

Age: 30 y/o

Gender: Male

Species: Human, Half Orc

Preferred Role: Strongman of Circus Jamboree

Years with the Circus: 4

Appearance: Gregory Knox, or commonly known as 'Gragas the Great' stands at a remarkable 6 ft 9 inches. He weighs 120 kg and almost the entirety of his upper body is filled with tattoos. He has very dark brown hair and a thick beard that connects with the hair on his head. He has pale skin as if he doesn't see sunlight at all which is very funny because he is almost always facing sunlight. His eyes always have bags under them but it is always balanced out with a warm smile despite what he truly is.

Background: Gregory Knox. If you're from Ruan, you must know that name... or you should anyways. He was raised by his father while his mother had abandoned them from a young age, or that's what his father told him. His father owned a winery, and a popular one at that. It had a chain of stores and Greg started working for his father at the age of 12 and quickly became obsessed with turning his body into peak shape. He was never too interested in having friends but that didn't mean he was anti-social. He was a decent, kind-hearted child and loved to make his father happy. He believed everything had to be earned, including respect. He did not believe in shortcuts. If you asked child-Gregory he would have told you his childhood was all he could ask for. A peaceful life with a loving father and stable job to keep him going.

Like mentioned earlier, whenever Gregory asked his father about details or whereabouts about his mother his father evaded the questions without hesitation. When Greg reached the age of 19, his father had left the city to go meet with someone who wanted to partner up in terms of business. He left his only son in charge and by this time, Gregory already knew how everything worked from watching his father so it was an easy task to fulfill. Once again, Gregory's curious mind flooded his moral thoughts and he went snooping around his father's home. When he reached his room, he saw that he was hiding a stack of folded letters under his dresser. It turns out they were written by his mother only a few months after she had apparently abandoned them. It seemed his father had lied to him for an unknown reason and they were still speaking to each other even after she left. Summarizing all the letters, Gregory could see that his mother was an orc which confirmed some suspicions he had and she had to run away for the sake of the family. What worried Gregory most though, was that there were only four letters from his mother. It could mean she died or she just wasn't able to write letters anymore. She still hasn't wrote a single letter 'till this day. When Gregory's father came home from his trip he didn't say anything to him. He didn't want his father thinking he was untrustworthy, plus whatever happened to his mother probably saddened his father more than it did him.

Now travelling to when Gregory Knox was the age of 24, he had a wife who was pregnant. She was also an orc. Remembering his past, Gregory knew it wasn't safe for his wife to live and his child to be raised up so he decided that they would need to move to Pirya. It was much safer for orcs. Even though they lived in a less populated village, they couldn't take any risks. Two nights before they planned to leave, Gregory's wife Roberta wanted to go to a nearby city which was popular for its marketplace. Gregory did not feel comfortable with her going especially since it would obviously be more packed than any other city. Thinking about it now, he should have never let her go... at least alone. Gregory let his wife leave and told her to return the next day but she never did. Worried, Gregory rushed to the city and looked everywhere for his wife, even desperately asking strangers if they had seen her which was risky. It was getting dark and Gregory still hadn't seen or heard anything about his wife. While sitting down on bench that gave him a view of the streets before him, a man followed by two large bald men in black trailing him approached Gregory. They told him that they had seen the woman he was looking for and they tried to take her away to sell but she showed resistance so they killed her. They said it so casually, as if Gregory was planning to sell her off himself. Like it wasn't a big deal, but it was. When Gregory heard those words come from the man's mouth, he grabbed him by the neck with his large hands and shattered his skull against the armrest on the bench. Before the two bodyguards could even react, Gregory did the same to them.

Three murders. That's all it took for him to be on the run. Gregory believes he isn't a bad man, just fueled with passion, with love, with revenge... justified revenge. Since the three murders, Gregory has been on the run and killing all those who got in his way. He was lost until James Jubilee recruited him. He is still 'lost' but at least now he has a temporary purpose.

Skills:

• No Pain - Gregory has a high tolerance for pain. It isn't as high as some other orcs, but it is more than a human's.
• Brawler - Gregory isn't the biggest fan of steel weapons such as axes or swords which is shown by his unique choice of weapon- a pair of gauntlets. Even if they were somehow taken away from him, Gregory fights using boxing and wrestling rather than the more common martial arts. On the run, Gregory has trained very hard. You wouldn't want to get punched by him.
• Jump Man - Despite his size, Gregory is very fast and able to jump from far distances (parkour).
• Bobby Pins - Gregory is very skilled and experienced with lock picking.
• I'm Not Stupid - He can't be easily manipulated or persuaded.

Weaknesses:

• Lonely - Gregory doesn't have good social skills since the death of his wife and child. He isn't good at persuading or convincing people either. He prefers to keep quiet.
• Angry - Gregory is quick to anger and James Jubilee is probably the only one who is able to (somewhat) calm him.
• You Can Run But You Can't Hide - He is 6 ft 9 inches. Pretty self explanatory. He would definitely stick out in a crowd.

Tyrion Bolt

Just call me Lucifer. You know... like the Devil?​

Name: Tyrion Fadlia

Alias: Tyrion the Trainer, Tyrion the Mysterious, Lucifer, Tyrion Bolt

Age: 22 y/o

Gender: Male

Species: Human, Half Elf (which explains the ears)

Preferred Role: Animal Tamer of Circus Jamboree

Years with the Circus: 1

Appearance: Tyrion has pale skin which is mostly because he stays in the shade. It isn't that he hates sunlight, he just hates tanned skin. He has jet black hair which was recently cut from a ponytail. He has an odd tattoo on his forehead and sphere-shaped earrings on at all times. He stands at 6 ft 2 inches and is pretty fit for someone who prefers to stay inside. All of his nails (including toe) are painted black. While his face may look like stone, he is always analyzing things in the background.

Background: Out of all the members of Circus Jamboree (with the exception of the Ringleader) Tyrion Bolt has the most mystery surrounding him. He refuses to speak about anything that happened before joining the circus or even personal feelings if he has any. Written only for the purpose of being accepted into the roleplay. Not even James Jubilee knows about his past.

Tyrion Bolt grew up on the road. Literally. Both of his parents were wanted criminals, expert thieves to be exact but they never planned on having a child but they couldn't stop it. Their names were Onya and Charles Fadlia. Tyrion was born in a carriage that was headed towards Padstow, Pirya. His parents were known all throughout Deva as the best thieves in the country. Funnily enough, no one knew what they looked like. Even the wanted posters were drawn terribly.

They had no reason to keep the child but the mother felt guilty to leave a baby in the middle of nowhere, so Onya decided to name the child Tyrion Fadlia. They rarely stayed in one place at a time and the father didn't care too much for Tyrion so he was on his own while they did their jobs. Little did they know, their son was always watching in the background. Not literally of course, but he kept up with their jobs and soon found out he had an interest in thievery. In money.

When Tyrion reached the age of 19, he heard his parents talking to someone about selling him off. This surprised him greatly, especially because of how well he was doing recently. Luckily, they never saw him eavesdropping which played in his favor. Two months after this, Tyrion's parents decided to take on the biggest hit in their careers. They were going to rob a vault with dense security but the money and jewels inside would be worth it. His parents were bringing him along and he used this opportunity to betray his parents. Getting past the guards in the vault was no problem but the Fadlia parents weren't able to pick this type of lock so they moved aside for their son to do it; that's all they really used him for anyways. After getting through all 8 locks, the massive vault door opened and his parents were quick to bag everything up. It was pretty dark and there was no available night so they made their son stand guard while they tossed the bags outside of the vault. There was one more bag at the edge of the vault and Tyrion used this chance to close the door behind him. He felt no sadness or anger, he was actually pretty satisfied with himself. He had the money and locked his soon-to-be traitors away.

Two days later, the vault was checked for routine and they found both of the Fadlia Thieves on the ground on the verge of death. This was made public quickly and they were sentenced to a life in prison which seemed like a pretty light punishment but people figure they must have people inside. They are still locked up to this day but they haven't said anything about Tyrion especially because no one knows they have a child. Tyrion has a hidden underground vault somewhere in Secet which holds all his precious treasure. Even if you were to find it, it would be almost impossible to open since the door is just flat metal. No locks, handles anything. It just looks like a wall of steel.

Skills:

• Thievery - Anything that involves thievery or stealing. Stealth, stealing, pick pocketing, lock picking etc.
• Speed - Tyrion is very quick on his feet you could mistake him for an acrobat. Not just running though, even his fighting style involves a lot of speed.
• Combat - Tyrion is very good at fighting but prefers to talk his way out of things. He has a better advantage if he can attack first (especially as a surprise). He uses a set of kunai knives which blades are drowned in a serum that makes the targeted area numb within seconds.
• Smart Cookie - He is very intelligent for a Half Elf. Very intelligent.
• Manipulative - Tyrion is very manipulative. You can call him a con-man even. He is also good with persuading strangers to do what he wants.

Weaknesses:

• No Thanks - Tyrion is completely untrustworthy. For every word that comes out of his mouth he has an ulterior motive.
• Weakling - He can deal damage but can't take it. Reason for why his fighting style is so evasive.

Accepted, sorry for taking so long to finish reading it but I've been on my phone all day. ^^
