Welcome to the Cirque des Ombres; A circus of the undead

The Old Circus: There was once an old circus that was permanently located in the foggy woods. It was called the Cirque de Lune. They were considered the worst circus ever because of their talentless performers and boring shows. They were never allowed to leave the forest. The cruel and eccentric ringmaster, who became insane because of the lack of money, killed all the circus members...including himself. The circus tent has been abandoned and quiet ever since the massacre.

The New Circus: The circus members have not died yet. They are still alive...but are no longer humans. They are all undead creatures, but they finally have the talents that they didn't have as a human. The members want to start anew by electing a new ringmaster. They chose the lion tamer. Instead of going by their old name, they decided to change it to the Cirque des Ombres (Circus of Shadows). However...the new circus has a new goal. Instead of entertaining the watchers...they feast on the watchers after the show to satisfy their hunger. Come! Take a peek into the circus tent! Enjoy your show...because it'll be your last.

Name: Arabella Stone
Circus Name: Graceful Cloud
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Position: Contortionist 1
Talents: Can bend her body in any way shape or form. Can shoot a bow and arrow with her feet alone while her hands are in handstand position, which is her main act. She is also very quick and clever.
Weapons (optional): Has two daggers hidden in her full body leotard, the only person who knows where they are on her body is her.
Type of Undead Creature: Vampire
Personality: Always has a smile and is very generous. But when it comes to having a show she is dead serious until the show ends. She often swears she has OCD and always likes things in perfect order even in dead form she likes perfection. Her eyes can entice anyone into doing anything as well.
Small Bio: Arabella grew up in a small town in the middle of no where. She then grew up taking many gymnastic classes and eating a healthy diet in dreams of one day being famous. So when she hears about some kids in her high school talking about running away to go see Circus De Lune, she is excited to get away. After watching the show she is amazed, although they aren’t good performers the idea of letting people see what she had accomplished with her body sounded amazing and surreal. She then went home packed her bags and ran away from home and to the Circus…

Name: Erina Thorne (Prefers to be called "Eri")
Circus Name: Amber Rose
Undead Race: Ghost
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Position: Acrobat 1

Talents: Being an acrobat, she has many talents. Erina can walk on a tightrope, perform a flying trapeze act, and is more flexible than an average human.

Weapons (optional): Poisoned needles that she hides in a pouch located underneath her costume.

Personality: Many people in the audience consider Erina as an innocent, cheerful, and talented acrobat. However, she has a darker side to her. Whenever she's about the go on to perform, she has a sudden craving for human flesh. However, Erina has gained enough self-control to not show her hunger in front of the audience. When she's with the other members of the circus, she is kind, friendly, and talkative. She doesn't like making enemies.

Small Bio: Erina was once a girl who was "trapped in a cage". Her parents made her take ballet class, but because of her hatred for it, Erina snuck out of classes without her parents catching her. She didn't like to learn from someone...she wanted to learn on her own. So, she practiced her acrobatic skills in the park when classes are in session. Erina often injured herself when practicing because...well...she wasn't very flexible. One day, however, her parents caught her skipping class, and she is grounded for a whole month. To Erina, a month was too long, so she snuck out and ran to the Cirque de Lune, the only place she wanted to stay at.

Name: Victor 'Vic' Szarelli (za-RELL-ee)
Circus Name: Silver Wind
Undead Race: Vampire
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Position: Contortionist 2

Talents: Bending his body in increasingly amazing ways. His specialty is contact juggling while contorting; he rolls a glass ball over the length of his body and over every part of his anatomy as he contorts.

Weapons (optional): A thin blade that lies flat against his right forearm, but which flips out to lie flat against his wrist, jutting out past the palm of his hand about an inch and a half past where his fingers naturally extend. It is a device of his own invention.

Personality: Focused; he's nearly impossible to distract once he has a task set to him. He can hold a conversation that has absolutely nothing to do with the task he's doing and still perform the task to the best of his ability. He is very slow to rouse to full anger, but his rage is terrifying to behold, especially when combined with his bloodlust. He thirsts for fresh blood as a parched man thirsts for the tiniest drop of water; he cannot control it, nor can he suppress it, save for an hour or so after a feeding. When in the process of feeding, he is unimaginably cruel, taking delight in causing as much pain as possible to the victim before ending their pathetic mortal life.


Small Bio: Victor was the son of a wealthy aristocrat and his wealthy wife. As such, there were standards to be held up in public. Such as the son and heir to the family fortune being a man, and holding up the masculine aura that exuded itself from his father.

This did not happen.

Victor from a young age was a very flexible child, often fitting through the bars of his crib to go on nightly walks around the house. He was punished when he was caught, so he learned not to get caught. However the damage was done when neighbors saw him sitting with his body contorted in a comfortable position, simply to read a book or watch the wildlife. He was thoroughly beaten when his father found out, and locked in the basement. He decided that it was time to go, and slipped through the tiny window to freedom.

Name: Chance Goldrum
Circus Name: Will-O'-Wisp
Undead Race: Wili
Age: Nineteen
Gender: Female
Position: Fire Dancer 1
Talents: Fire dancing, naturally. She can twirl around batons, swords, sticks or any other object while dancing, and while that object is on fire. She can even juggle things that are covered in flames. Chance is a rather gifted dancer as well.
Weapons: Any object, reallly. Her skills in dancing and twirling easily translate into using these items as weapons similar to a stave. She also uses her voice and general allure to seduce men into her traps.
Personality: Chance is a flirt, a huge flirt. She loves to mess with the minds of men, and women alike. She finds it a wonderful game to lead people on and to let them go. She also loves physical contact in general, so sometimes she doesn't just lead people on, if you know what I mean. She loves material things and often used her conquests to get beautiful jewelry, clothes, and such when she was alive. Now she uses them to quench her blood thirst. Luring men to her, then feeding on them.
Small Bio: Chance ran away from home at the first chance she got, the age of fifteen. The girl never turned back, preferring freedom to the locked up household she had once lived in. That life is long past now, lost in the back of her mind. Her years travelling the country, visiting cities and trying out new things are what occupy her mind now when she thinks of the past. She used to use men for places to stay and for money and clothes. Despite not having a home of her own she managed to live quite a luxurious life. Eventually she found herself at the Cirque de Lune. Fire Dancing appealed to her at the time, so she decided to stay for a while, not knowing she would never leave.

Name: Lynn Calder

Circus Name: Rane the Silent

Age: 18

Gender: female

Position: Ventriloquist

Talents: During her performences, she sits still with her doll on her lap, lips not moving an inch as the head begins to talk. She gives anyone a blank stare that seems to bore into thier soul and see thier true self.

Weapons (optional): none

Personality: Lynn is a rather queit girl that is mostly seen with her dool in her arms. She talks to whoever approaches her, but sometimes mumbles when she gets nervous.

Small Bio: Lynn's life has been spent going in and out of foster homes after her parents died in a fire. Since she was eight, Lynn was placed in an orphanage with about ten other kids. During her time there, she spent most of her time either in her room, talking to her doll, or walking around with Kim, her best friend.

The kids there always saw her as weird because of her doll, but Lynn did everything she could to fit in, even when they kept rejecting her. Kim was the only person Lynn had and it stayed that way until she turned seventeen and left everyone behind. She spent most of that time wandering around the world with her doll at her hip, oblivious to the changes over coming her body. Little did she know, the doll was absorbing the life out of Lynn and eventually she became an empty shell, and the doll took an eerie likeness to Lynn's face.
