  overview.

  
  
  
  

  B

  lack-and-white striped tents pervade the horizon. fanfare is heard across the city…
  “the circus appears without warning. it has no schedule, and seemingly no set trajectory. no advertisement precedes it, not one notice was made on billboards and posts, no mentions in local newspapers. it is simply there, when yesterday it was not. who knows if it’ll be there tomorrow?”
  unbeknownst to the public, what happens in the circus is only an elaborate performance. powered by magic, its exhibitions defy the laws of physics and reality, performers pull off feats that are seemingly impossible; every little act is carefully orchestrated.
  however, behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway.
  
  continue to rules. please read thoroughly.

  the showman

  
  
  
  

  open

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  threatrical producer, and the proprietor of le cirque des merveilles. some consider them nothing short of a genius. as powerful as they may seem, they are not completely knowledgeable of the happenings in the backstage of the circus.
  

  
  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  

  the puppeteer

  
  
  
  

  open

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  a favourite of the circus’ younger audience. although it may seem childish, puppetry is a complex medium. wearing a mask of friendliness while harboring hidden intentions, the puppeteer's warm demeanor and playful voice captivate all who encounter them. yet, beneath the surface lies a master manipulator, skillfully exploiting trust and weaving a tangled web of deceit that few can discern until it's too late.
  

  
  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  

  the ringmaster

  
  
  
  

  open

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  integral to the management of the circus, they are the director’s right hand man/woman/etc. charismatic but reticent, they orchestrate a spectacle like no other… they will ensure nothing comes in the way of the competition. as the saying goes: the show must go on.
  

  
  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  

  tragedy

  
  
  
  

  open

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  one of twin actors of the circus’ most famous tragicomedy shows. they are the polar opposite of their sibling: whereas comedy is mischievous and humorous, tragedy is stern and sullen.

  the illusionist

  
  
  
  

  closed!

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  step into the enigmatic realm of the world famous illusionist ! with an air of mystery and a captivating presence, they wield powerful magic that defies explanation. their illusions mesmerize and bewilder, leaving audiences spellbound. their secrets remain locked away, enticing curious minds to delve deeper into their mystifying artistry.
  

  
  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  

  the acrobats

  
  
  
  

  open

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  he most populated department in the circus, but also certainly the wildest… and with the largest tent to boot. elegant and graceful, their acts are nothing short of beautiful.

  welcome!

  
  

  
  
  
  

  welcome to my first ever group role-play, inspired heavily by erin morgenstern’s book, the night circus ! i thought it’d be fun to tweak the book’s plot and make it into a fun little group project !
  the plot is basically about performers being hired to the circus essentially being pitted against each other, but nobody knows who’s their opponents (the roleplayers know, of course, just not the characters.) the end goal: idk. money ? prestige ? power ? we’ll see LMAO
  it’s set in ahistorical victorian england but, as mentioned, this is a traveling circus.
  it does not have to be historically accurate, as long as you stay in the overall setting and aesthetic.
  

  
  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  about roles...

  
  

  
  
  
  

  
  NOT first come first serve. just dm me with an introduction of yourself & an answer to the following question: why should i entrust you with your chosen role ? (could be an idea you have, inspo, etc)
  also, you can make as many acrobats as you like, or make an oc for any other circus attraction. however, before we start making original characters, i ask the main roles be filled first for plotting purposes.
  once i choose you for a certain character, you will receive certain "guidelines" for said character for, again, plotting purposes. this will not unhinge on your creative freedom, but rather it is solely for the direction of story. you will also receive an invite to the role-play's discord server for plotting and character development.
  

  
  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  epilogue...

  
  

  
  
  
  

  this roleplay will follow all RPN rules and guidelines. moreover, i will also not tolerate anything that makes other role-players, and myself, uncomfortable. that includes racism, homophobia, and any other bigoted behaviour. that being said, i just want to make this a safe and agreeable space so we can all have fun !

Would a tightrope walker be too similar to the acrobat role?
