Ladies and Gentlemen, Children of All Ages...!

Based off my book in progress....

Come on, come all! The Big Tent's in town and the animals have arrived! Freaks ready to preform just for you -

Wait, wait now, kid... You say you want to join? We've been waiting for you...anyone at all, really. It's not all fun and games, you know. But, nonono, you can't leave now... There's something a little.... off about this flea circus.... They say a bad spirit, brought to this humble carnival because of The Sins.

Clowns are always drunk and the Magician just has to have two girls on each side. Lady Beard's a tad moody, but Sir Strong's got the shortest fuse if I ever saw one. The Acrobat and Trapeze artists are always out to get each other. Those Siamese twins look at each other like there's a mirror between them. And that man there? The Ringleader? Only thing he cares about is his money.

It's safe to say you have no idea what you're in for.... Magic happens in this place, see. Ghosts of those before you like to come out when show's over, but don't worry! They're harmless....mostly... Ignore their babble though, they only speak nonsense. And that little lady? She's Fool. No...really. She's real quiet like, always hanging with the animals. Keeps to herself mostly, but she'll show you the ropes if you ask her real nice. Don't mess with her though. Can't say I didn't warn you...

Me? My name? We don't have names around these parts... But you can call me Nosus the Hobo. I'll be guiding you on the last journey of your life. Welcome to the end of what you used to know, this is your new home now.

This here's the main tent, where the show happens. Mind the rigging up top if you want to hang up there, or you'll be....hanging up there... Behind the bleachers are a good spot to catch a break. Out front? Those are the games and venders. Do your job out there, kid. Ringleader's got his eye on you and those profits. Behind the tent is the train tracks, where our engine rests. Shack up there for the night, talk with the freaks....that's your free time, really. Just stay away from Magician's car.... Animals are back there too. Beyond that? The woods. Down the hill's a lake. Nice place to escape the summer heat. If you follow the train tracks down east you'll come to the nearest town. Just be back before sundown, you hear? No good comes to those that venture out at night...

But it's almost time to start the show! Get going, take up whatever job you please!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Children of All Ages! You're eyes do not deceive you!
They couldn't if they tried...



The Sins --> The Seven Deadly Sins. Characters said, except for Nosus and Fool, have one. those with names are taken. I'm going to be Fool and Nosus, just to answer questions and be the guide to my story in the making for any new members that are joining the circus this night...

Ringleader - Greed - BariJoy
Clown - Gluttony
Jester - Gluttony - Taylow
Joker - Gluttony
Lady Beard - Sloth (in her case, depression)
Sir Strong - Wrath
Acrobat - Envy - Kat Rosewell
and Trapeze - Envy - GH
Siamese Twins (Left and Right) - Pride
Magician - Lust - BariJoy
Nosus the Hobo - B&W
Fool - B&W

Others:
Juggler - Wrath - B&W
Cover - Red
Pretzel - BariJoy
Lion Tamer - lostorfound?

- Feel free to take these characters if you so wish.
- As said, there are no names in this circus. Their 'names' are their job, trait, or talent.
- Your character, if you so choose to make one up, does not have to have a Sin, but it would go with the story more and be more fun in my opinion. I'd like to have one of each sin, but if not that's fine.
- No PPing or GMing, try and avoid one lining. Three sentences preferred, but I understand action sequence-y scenes are a little hard. I will therefore forgive it in such situations.

Format:

"Name" : (job, trait, or talent.)
Gender :
Age :
Sin : (if you so choose to have one)
Appearance : (pics are fine)
Other : (anything else? background, personality, etc?)

"Name" : Nosus the Hobo
Gender : M
Age : thirties or so
Sin : none
Appearance : sort of like the hobo from The Polar Express... Clothes are torn and patched up with oddly patterned squares of cloth. His trousers are a good three inches too short though, revealing his shined black shoes, but mismatched socks. Has a presentable button up shirt and leather jacket, but its slightly tight for him across his shoulders. Gloves that are missing the fingers, a shiny black bowler’s hat. Unkept brown hair and brown eyes.
Other : just sort of hangs around the circus, much to the Ringleader's dislike. As said, a guide and a friend, but I wouldn't fully trust him.

"Name" : Fool
Gender : F
Age : 18/19ish
Sin : none
Appearance : black flats with black leggings and a red tootoo. A tight, red and white striped shirt and a fool's hat, the tendrils or whatever you call them very long, to mid back. White face paint, small triangles on her cheeks. Cherry red lips. If her hair was out it'd be curly blonde, also to mid back.
Other : the silent type, likes to be alone, hangs with the animals. supposed to be a clown but too serious for them. She works with the animals in the show.

"Name" : Juggler
Gender :F
Age : 16
Sin : wrath
Appearance : Curly caramel curls, deep green eyes. skinny jeans and knee high boots, tang top with strapless shirt over. doesn't like stage makeup.
Other : juggles whatever. balls, knives, flaming sticks... also a good marksmen. makes her wrathful moments all the more dangerous, almost rivaling Sir Strong.

"Name" : Magician
Gender : Male
Age : Early twenties
Sin : Lust
Appearance : http://score6.deviantart.com/art/The-wizard-and-his-apprentice-151672284?q=boost%3Apopular%20wizard%20howl&qo=238 (Like the guy on the left... Only with black hair)
Other : He likes to think of himself as smooth with the ladies. The ladies like to think of him an arrogant scumbag, albeit a handsome arrogant scumbag. (Is it alright if I give him a little bit of actual magic? He'd mostly use it for cosmetic purposes.)

"Name" : RingLeader
Gender : Male
Age : Early thirties
Sin : Greed
Appearance : http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=ringmaster&order=9&offset=24#/do6jfr (Except no cat ears or tail)
Other : There doesn't seem like much to say, does there? Well, there is, but I'm not saying. For now, he's just Greedy because he loves money.

offered helpful tid bits:

My Trapeze-

Envy is about wanting what others have, getting it any way they can, or destroying it if they cannot possess it. In that way, she's very envious of Acrobat because their skill set are almost the same, and Acrobat is envious right back. It is not jealousy. As an example... If you envious of the greenest lawn in the neighborhood, you'd use growing aids on your lawn but go out of your way to pour gasoline on the others' lawns so that yours was indisputably best. So the two of them go out of their way to sabotage the other, but usually they fix each others' pranks before the show in order to maintain their supreme-ness over the other.
Envy's color is green, so that's within her color theme. She's got black tights and a dark green skirt, very loose and flow-y. Her shirt is tight, long sleeved, a lighter green than the skirt. And yes, red hair. Kudos.
She acts nicely most of the time, using the 'getting it anyway she can' first by sucking up or just being willing to learn. If that doesn't go as planned she then goes to 'destroying that which she cannot have'.

Cover, you are so getting the short end of that stick.... xD

That's...wow....hard core. O.o

ill most likely be gone thurs till labor day with spotty internet service. can ya three wait on this till then?

It'll be a pleasure chatting with you again.

About the Magic: Thank you very muchly.

And, yeah. I don't know where my mind was when I was typing that. I edited the correct term in.

BlackandWhite, I know you already have someone who works with animals, but is my character who works only with the tigers and lions okay?

"Name" : Lion tamer (tigers as well)
Gender : F
Age : 19
Sin : none
Appearance : Long straight golden-colored hair with black tips, big brown eyes, black and white striped corset with red ruffle, black tool skirt, black old fashioned jacket with a train, and a black top hat with red ribbon
Other : Has an unexplainable connection with animals, almost as if she can communicate with them

Yeah that works lostandfound

Okay, thanks! When do we start?

As said, im on vacation till labor day. We'll start after that, see if more people want to join

(Can I join?)

"Name" : Hephaestus, the pyro expert, Real name, Jak
Gender : Male
Age : 14
Appearance : Black hair, blue eyes, tan skin, scars on his hands from playing with fire so much.
Other: Knows lots of tricks about fire he has always been fascinated by it.

Im nothing but truthful, so i am bit hesitant, Con, but i will let you join. I mean no offense unto you by saying such. Im open, so if you would like to know why i will share.

Just please... Pay attention to the rules (such as no names, only talents, jobs, and skills). Pay attention to the setting. Keep a good pace with the plot and move with us, dont just go off on your own because then we have no way of being with your characters in a sensible way, which isnt any fun for you.

This book is my pride and joy right now, so im really curious to see where this chat goes with it. Id like it not to die early.

So would you like to have a sin for your character, Con? Please specify, as the format requests.

"Name" : Jester
Gender : M
Age : 19
Sin : Gluttony
Appearance :
Other : He's half mad, or at least acts like it. He actually has a very kind and gentle heart to him, but hardly anyone can ever get past his madness, or even tries to for that matter. His insanity helps him deal with being a carny.

An always drunk mad hatter.... Interesting.... XD

hey BW, any ideas on when we're starting it? and how to start it? XD

We can start. I think endellion wants to join so ill let her know.

Hm... We can start with the new preformers joining. Or in the beginning lf my book it starts with Hobo gathering people in town to go see the circus. We could do that... Im open to ideas if ya dont like those.

IDEA!!! I HAVE AN IDEA!!!!

Hobo IS in town gathering the people, but he's alone. Everyone else is running around, VERY busy, trying to get everything ready for the show. Individual charries could be ahead or behind schedule.

Well...yea. :p. Isnt that implied? Gettin ppl to see the show means gettin a show ready xD

NO BUT EVERYONE'S GONNA BE SUPER BUSY. LIKE, behind schedule with the ringmaster about to kick their butts.

Ahhh i see. Thats good!
