                                                                The circus arrives without warning. There are no posters, no tv advertisements, it just appears where yesterday it was not. When one neighbor spys the orange and red tents of the circus, it is not long before neighbor tells neighbor, and the whole town knows of the spectacular wonders to come. As night creeps upon the small town, you stand outside in the cool autumn twilight, a thick white sign hangs before the fence reading:

                                                                opens at dusk
                                                                closes at dawn.

                                                                Your neighbors around you question what sort of circus is open only at night. Some question if this circus is even worth waiting out in the cold, let alone allowing their children to be out past ten pm. Several head home muttering swear words about the lousy circus, but that is when it began. The salty scent of butter and popcorn wafting lightly through the air, the crackle and pop of the old light bulbs along the edge of the fence sparking to life, and the bars on the ticket booth rising up revealing a teenager in a black with white pinstripe vest. "Welcome two dollars for kids, five for adults." The lad announces with a grin across his face. You smile and look down at your son who is in awe of all the lights. He looks up at you and tugs at your hand "what does that mean?" The boy asks pointing to the flickering neon sign perched upon the opening of the main tent reading:

                                                                "Le Cirque de L'espoir"

                                                                You reply with a smile knowing all those french classes in highschool were finally paying off, " The Circus of Hope"

                                                                It has always been rumored that lost children were taken to traveling circus', to learn a trade and make something of their lives. Not only would they be learning the business, they would be gaining a family made up of over one hundred people. And so this is what circus' did. It was basically a pact with the polices. They would take in missing kids, and the police wouldn't "notice" any illegal acts they may have put on. However, for four young wanderers, the circus is a dream come true. Each of their lives struck with disaster, they have no choice but to follow their hidden talents when the circus comes to town.

                                                                Being accepted into the community, they are each given a mentor. An original Carnie to show them the ropes and get them acquainted with everyone. However, a rivalry begins to form between the two magicians. Constantly fighting and tricking each other, trying their hardest to out magic each other. Who will win this battle of wits, and who else will butt their noses into other peoples problems.

                                          welcome one and all █████████ { ✰ } █████████████████████████████████████████


                                                                Rules are important. They keep things in order, and they keep people from doing things they aren't supposed to. So much like any roleplay, here are my rules for you. First of all, please follow gaia tos. Their rules are my rules so respect me, and respect them. Second. This is a semi-lit to Adv lit roleplay. This means I expect you to use some form of spell check as well as use good grammar. Please be able to write a minimum of four paragraphs and a maximum of eight. More is great too. When posting, please make your post pretty. It doesn't have to have fancy graphics, just a picture of your character, their name, and maybe a quote or song lyric. It's not the layouts that will impress me it is what you write in them. When writing, please keep fonts between 10.5 and 12 nothing bigger please. Please make sure that everyone can easily read your posts in a dark color. That means no yellow or cyan type colors. All thoughts should be in italics and all speech in bold, and any electronic talking (text, e-mail, etc.) should be underlined. Paragraphs should be made up of eight or more sentences.

                                                                Third, when it comes down to reserves, I'm only accepting characters that are real life models. Please don't change my reservation format, or the profile format. I spent a lot of time on them and I don't want anyone screwing with them. If you want to use them for something else, just ask, I don't bite that hard. Since I know the reservation is a little lengthy, please feel free to pm me first to reserve your reservation. I know it sounds funny but I hate when you apply for a position and after spending like an hour on the reserve, you find out that someone beat you to the punch. It's a crappy feeling that I don't want anyone to feel. After sending in your reserve, you have two days to send me in your profile. When sending in your reserve, please title it, You’re like a rollercoaster ride. And when you decide to send in your profile, please title it, You spin around me.

                                                                Fourth, I don't care if guys play girls, girls play guys etc. It's not a big deal to me as long as we have an even number of each gender I'm find. I would like four guys and four girls for this roleplay. Each character plays a special role; however, some play a bigger role than others. So characters with an asterisk by their title are roles that I would like filled before starting the roleplay. For example, I would like the ring master filled before we start, common sense, yes? Homosexuality is perfectly fine with me. Love is love so whatever pairings we come up with together is fine by me. Although romance is not key in this roleplay, it will be fun to have as some extra drama.

                                                                Fifth, if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask me. I hope that everyone will join me in sync for most of our plotting. If you are an anti-social person, please don't join. I think people who roleplay together should be able to become friends, and in order to do so, we should all be a little social. It makes things more fun. Any and all new rules will be added in red. Oh and please add a heart icon in your reservation to let me know you actually read through the rules.

                                                                Dyna's story is hard to keep a secret, though not for lack of trying. Not even the friendliest smile can divert people's attention from a few missing knuckles and fingers. A bright kid who should have known better, his fascination with science was costly. A small bomb that was meant to be nothing more than another project to waste away a few afternoons went off while he was still setting it up. The explosion mutilated his hands and disfigured the face of his brother. Even after recovering, he didn't go outside, scared to face his friends. When the circus came through his town, he thought it would be an escape. That was ten years ago, since then Dyna went from working on the props to make the real talent look good to taking over from the last ringmaster only earlier this year and making the talent look good from centre stage. His nickname hasn't left him in all that time. Once called Dynamite, now everyone just calls him Dyna.

                                                                Originally, the decision to make Dyna ringmaster was met with trepidation. With no performing experience, it could have been a horrible move for the circus, but it's been nothing of the sort. Dyna is a natural performer, ready to give his audience everything. The depression and self-doubt that he came into circus with has never really left, but he has been putting on a show for so long that no one would pick it. No, definitely not Dyna. His cheerful demeanour has brightened up the day of anyone who works with him. If he can be trusted for anything, it's that he will always be there to help and will never pick a fight. Just listen to him and he'll take you on a ride.

                                                                Not many people know that back when circus's were extremely popular, there would always be several women used to "distract" married men while their families enjoyed the show. It was one way to make loads of money, and one of those women were Ryker's mother. Because of his mothers promiscuous occupation, Ryker never knew his father and never would. The circus being the only thing the raven haired boy ever knew, he was content with being around his large family, even if they didn't all have the same last name. Obviously he could not follow the family trade considering his mother was a hooker, so instead after searching through the old ring masters quarters, he happened upon a wooden dummy with wide blue eyes, a happy smile, and slicked back black hair, much like his own. Naming the dummy Zander, the wide eyed circus boy practiced hard until he got so used to using Zander as his voice, he nearly kept it permanent.

                                                                Because of his dummy, Ry finds the use of his own words to be pointless. Why stutter and make mistakes when someone can say your thoughts for you? Ryker is very shy, quiet person when it comes to his own thoughts, and will deny that Zander's thoughts and his own are completely different. Although this is a lie, Zander's personality is cocky. He is a smart a** and often rather cynical. Ryker makes a point to try to hush the dummy's voice in front of others, embarrassed about his wooden friends words.

                                                                Tabatha was your generic orphan the product of a bad decision between to teenagers. Most infants are claimed instantly however this was not the case with Tabatha. There was always something different about the child that no one could quite put a finger on. When she was six Tabatha was adopted by a sweet couple that could not have kids. Life was okay at first; Tabatha had everything an orphan would want, a loving family. However that was nothing more than a dream life. Soon after Tabatha turned nine the couple was blessed with a child of their own. Even though they never treated her poorly after the baby’s birth she couldn’t help but feel excluded. They had their own child now, what would they need her for? Tabatha couldn’t help but feel jealous of the baby, she was so mad with him that every night she wished for him to just go away. A week later the infant came down with a terrible sickness and was rushed to the hospital. Tabatha couldn’t help but feel responsible for the baby’s condition and ran away from her home. She didn’t care where she went as long as it was far away from the terrible thing that she believed she had done. That was when she found Le Cirque de L'espoir. Everything about it dazzled Tabatha. Soon after arriving she became fascinated with the magic show. Leo the amazing, the magician at the time was a sweet loving man that Tabatha instantly took to. She followed him everywhere, getting anything he needed, preparing all of his equipment. He was the parent she had always wanted. Leo took the young girl under his wing and taught her everything he knew, treating her like his own child. The energetic girl loved the magic; it was an escape from everything around her. As the years went by Tabatha appeared in the magic shows along side Leo as his assistant and taking over for him at the age of eighteen. While working with Leo Tabatha finally felt like a void had been filled in her life. She was happy. Truly happy, loving life and everything that it had to offer. The circus was her saving grace.

                                                                Tabatha is a serious person that does not care for joking around. She is a real performer though, loving the sensation of wowing a crowd and receiving applause. It takes her a long time to trust anyone which leaves her very secluded even among her circus family only trusting a few people. Those that she does open up to Tabatha would do anything for. Tabatha’s relationship with the old magician had been so strong that she took his name as her own, only keeping her first name. Once Tabatha is someone’s friend she is loyal to the end. Because of her serious atmosphere most people believe her to be stuck up. While Tabatha is very proud of her abilities she does not believe what she does to be better than anyone else’s job. She secretly wishes to be more open and trusting, but does not wish to be hurt in process.

                                                                Well if her name didn’t give her away, her sexy French accent sure did. Giselle grew up in a little town just outside of Paris, France. For the most part she had a pretty normal childhood, with a couple of exceptions of course. Giselle had two loving parents (more than most carnies can say for themselves). She went to school, played the piano and loved her dollies. But what Giselle loved more than anything in the world was animals! She was a living encyclopedia of the animal kingdom. Ever since she could remember she would spout out facts about any and every animal. She just loved going to the zoo! Her favorite animal had always been the lion. However, when Giselle turned thirteen, weird things began happening. It all started with her mother’s death murder. The police could never catch her killer, but they would always say that it just looked like some kind of animal attack. Giselle was devastated. And it seemed the only place where Giselle could find peace and happiness was at the zoo. She spent all of her time there, watching the majestic lions. It was almost as if they developed a bond with her. Then one day, a lion broke out! Everyone was fleeing the enclosure, screaming for their lives. Yet for some reason, Giselle didn’t move an inch. Instead she went right up to the roaring lion and reached out her hand. Everyone watched in terror, thinking for sure she would get torn to shreds. Then the strangest thing happened. The lion looked at her and then nudged her hand. Giselle smiled. Then she noticed everyone’s horrified faces. She knew that this connection she made with the lion would label her a freak for the rest of her life. People would say she set a lion on her mother! With this knowledge, she ran away. Finally, after years of being on the run she found “Le Cirque de l’Espoir” and became the fierce lion tamer.

                                                                There is one word that could perfectly describe Giselle. Fierce. She’s tough and can sometimes be a total b***h. Especially if you ever mention her mother! She knows she’s beautiful and loves how her looks can deceive people into thinking that she’s sweet and innocent. However, in reality she could have you down on the ground in 2.0 seconds. She knows how to fight and isn’t afraid to stand out for herself. When you’ve lived on the street, there’s no other way to survive. She’s stubborn and strong-headed, traits she uses to her advantage. However, Giselle does actually have a soft side, but she rarely lets anyone see it. The only ones she lets her guard down around are her lions. She shows them her soft and caring side. As hard as it is for her to show her love, it isn’t hard with her lions. People are another story. She never lets anyone get too close to her. But maybe if they stick around long enough, they might get pass that wall!

                                                                It has been twenty-three years since Parker joined Le Cirque de L'espoir. Yes, at age two, he tied his baby blankets together and scaled down the side of his house, jumped on his big wheel, and peddled till he saw bright lights, which at that age are just so distracting, and... No, that isn't what happened but that is what he tells most people. Older members of the circus know his true past. When Parker was two, there was a terrible accident in which his mother was killed. Both she and his father were very young. They were only seventeen when he was born. The news of the accident was all over the television and papers. His father, distraught as one could be and no where near ready to be a single father tossed his child aside in a ditch, leaving him for dead. However, death did not take him. The circus did instead. They found him, and took him to the hospital, where they learned his true name and that his father had wound up in prison. It was a miracle that he survived...a trait that stayed with him his whole life. Not able to just leave him as an orphan, they took him in. Growing up in the circus, Parker was free to perform all sorts of crazy stunts and antics. Where others thought he was nuts, he was rarely phased. When others ask why he would want to stick a sword down his throat, he says "why not?" Parker has dabbled in many areas of the circus life but tends to be drawn to the more dangerous things. He ended up receiving the nickname Nine. It was like he was a cat with nine lives, and never ended up dieing when it looked like he should.

                                                                Fearless is a good word to describe Parker, or as the carnies call him, Nine. If there is some crazy stunt, Nine has probably tried it at least once. Nine rarely thinks about his birth parents, since he never actually knew them. The members of Le Cirque de L'espoir are his family as far as he is concerned. Either way, he knows his carnie family will always be there to support him, or rush him to the hospital if things do go how he expected. Yes, Nine is a confident, cocky son of a b***h but still a friendly guy. He is normally up beat and non-nonchalant about the outrageous stuff he does. Do not get on his bad side because Nine can kick some serious a**. You have to be strong to survive most of the stuff he does.

                                                                On her travels a few days ago Yara stumbled across this wonderful circus. She was so enticed by the whole thing that she just had to join, luckily the lass had an act of her own. Ever since she was born this girl was nothing but strange, always talking to someone when no one was around, or just staring the the ceiling refusing to sleep. Concerned her parents took her to the doctor's several times, but every time they told them the same thing, that she was a perfectly healthy little girl. Nothing was wrong with her, well nothing anyone else could see at least, Yara saw things that other's couldn't, as well as heard. Once she grew old enough to have enough sense to tell someone what was going on she simply never did, not wanting to be called a psychopath or crazy she kept her mouth shut. But just because she was hush hush about the weird things doesn't mean she didn't embrace them. In fact she went far out of her way to listen to what the had to say and sometimes even practice what they taught her. And that was the one thing she was good at, telling other's fortune's in various ways, as well as communicating with spirits from beyond for others. So she might be a lunatic, but you know you want to hear your future.

                                                                Other than insane many say she's simply blunt, telling people how she felt and to their face, not holding anything back. But despite her honesty in opinion she is secretive as far as who knows about what in her life. There's only a handful of people she's told about her little friends, and even they freaked out, she just hopes this place will be different. Anti-social yet friendly, if that's possible, she doesn't particularly like allot of people, but she thinks it's better to talk to people in the human realm more than the spirit, it keeps one sane. Yara is also free spirited and open-minded, ideas always bouncing around in her head, changing her view on things. Chipper in some ways, not much can get this lass down. When you've heard and seen as much as she has it's hard to tell her something that would scare her or even make her sad. And finally curious of the corners she has yet to explore in the world, and of the minds she has yet to pick.

                                                                Blythe was the fourth born child into a family of seven children. The Harper family was quite wealthy, their father being a reputable surgeon and their mother, a nurse. Being the proper and conservative family they were, wanting nothing to spoil their good name, each child was enrolled into classes of some sort from an early age and Dr. and Mrs. Harper would not allow any kind of slacking from their children. Not saying they were forced to work like animals, the children generally felt real passion for what they did and liked to work hard to make their parents proud. That was the case for most of the Harper children... Blythe, on the other hand, had always been a bit quirky in comparison to her "perfect family." She was still a very proper young lady but, when it came to her passion, she didn't quite fit into her family's comfort zone. See, when the children were younger, on a vacation to visit Aunt Agnes - the "wild" aunt, they were taken to do all the things their parents never wanted them to do. For the most part the kids were pretty uncomfortable with all the activities, not wanting to get dirty or get into any trouble. There was one outing, though, that seemed to have captivated Blythe; the circus. She was impressed with the precision, strength, and grace of the acrobatic shows, they were truly mesmerizing. Upon returning home, Blythe told her parents of her desire to take her ballet lessons on to the next, more extreme level but they would absolutely not allow it. So, being the obedient child she was, Blythe dropped it. She continued on in her ballet lessons as long as she was under her parents' roof. Now, though, she is just graduating high school and she's ready to move out on her own. Knowing her parents would be furious if they knew she wanted to join the circus, she told them she was moving away to nursing college. She did love her parents and hated to lie but this is what she knew she had to do, follow her passion.

                                                                She has now recently arrived at the Le Cirque de L'espoir, a totally strange, and intimidating environment for her. She was so used to all the boring personalities at her private school, but everyone here was much more... different. It would definitely be a hard adjustment at first, some of the performers gave her the willies, but she was looking forward to the experience, she isn't closed minded like her family. And she's much too polite and sweet to ever let it show that she was a bit freaked out by somebody. It was also exciting that these other "freaks" might accept her quirkiness more than the clones she grew up with. No one could really describe what it was about her she just "gave them a strange feeling about her". It could potentially be her looks that made people feel uncomfortable. Her skin is pale as a vampire and her icy blue eyes are freakishly large. Not only that but she tends to stare and space out a lot, so it may appear as if she's gazing into your soul but she's probably just daydreaming about kittens. Potentially, she may also creep people out because of her general quietness and awkward social skills.

                                                                Andrew never had one of those sappy sob stories of a childhood. You know the ones where your dad beats you or your mommy doesn't love you and she's having an affair. He had a normal childhood, with the exception of one thing... he was rich. It all started before he was born. His mom was one of the top lawyers in the country and his Dad owned a multi-million dollar company. He grew up in the biggest house, what with the two huge incomes. He pretty much had everything he ever wanted. Yeah, you could say that Andrew's parents spoiled him, but they weren't like all the other rich parents. They didn't just throw money at him and send him on his way. They actually cared for him. His dad would always sit down and do his homework with him and his mom would make sure that he had lots of gatorade for whatever game he had and they would both attend every game. Andrew always had the best birthday parties - you know, with the bouncy castle and petting zoos and magicians! That's when Andrew fell in love with magic. He began reading fantasy novels, going to magic shows and even becoming a master of the trade himself! He was a pretty good kid, so his parents thought he deserved a new PS3 or a top of the line lap top or even magic paraphernalia - and everything else he ever wanted. So if Andrew had such the perfect life, then why did he run away and join the circus? Something began to feel different at home. And for a while, Andrew couldn't put his finger on it. Then it hit him, his mom was sick. Like really sick. It was only a matter of months before she died. When she did, Andrew couldn't handle it. Not only his mother's death, but his father's depressing silence as well. So when le Cirque de l'Espoir rolled into town, Andrew decided to quit university and run away to somewhere where he could practice his amazing magic skills and show off how amazing he was... Leaving the grief and despair behind him.

                                                                Andrew pretty much hated all of his classes at school. Most people thought he was an idiot, but that's just what he showed them. If everybody knew that he aced every class then he wouldn't be Mr. Popular now would he? Especially if they knew about the magic. He would have been labeled a geek. The only thing he liked about school was the sports and the friends. Andrew is extremely competitive, and gets pretty pissed off if he loses, so he makes sure he always wins. Andrew appears arrogant and egotistical to other people, especially to girls because that's the version of him they all love. He would tell them they're fat, and then they would come running after him. Oh and his manipulative side? Yeah, that’s real. He’s as good at it as he is at magic. Who knows, maybe it is magic. Underneath his careless attitude, Andrew does actually care. He doesn't care so much as to donate to charities or go save the whales or whatever, but he does care more than he lets on. He also loves parties. Before he joined the circus, he pretty much partied every weekend, even when he wasn’t necessarily invited (though usually he was). With all the partying and socializing, I guess you could call him outgoing. He can be rude at times and very sarcastic all the time. Andrew likes who he is, even if it's not real all the time. (Trust me, the sarcasm is real!)

                                                                Responsibilities. This one words seems to fit Franco Jude Lucca's personality to a T. Cleaning up after his five younger brothers and sisters while his mother battled postpartum depression as well as another pregnancy. His father spent his time down at the church, trying to be the Pastor that everyone needed in their lives. Franco was expected to be the man of the house while his father was away, and unlike most men wasn't afraid of changing a dirty diaper. When his father was away, chaos ruled the house. Franco tried his best to man up at the age of 19 and take responsibility for his siblings actions. However, when his father was home, it was silence. After one night of his youngest sister gaining her period, and not knowing not to flush the feminine products down the toilet, Frano's father beat his younger sister nearly to death. Trying to protect his sister, the brunettes father threw him down the stairs, kicking Franco out. After escaping out into the night, he came across a party were kids from the local school drank and sinned. Throwing all caution to the wind, Franco joined in on the drinking, sex, and drugs, only to find out several days later, his actions truly had consequences: he had gotten a girl pregnant. Scared for his life, he ran away from all of the responsibilities that had once held him back, he finds the circus to try to rid himself of all ties.

                                                                Franco is many things. He is strong, kind, serious, and a bit of a tight a**. He doesn't know much about fun, but does know about discipline. Although being the clown does mean he has to relax, it is unlikely that it will be easy for him to do so. Franco's long standing nickname has been Lucky. Before he was born, his parents tried for years to have children, and after a doctors visit, were told that they would never have kids. He was their miracle. Their lucky one. Because of this, he decided his stage name to be Lucky the Clown.

                                                                Brynne Rayeann Morrison was born in Aspen, Colorado, to two lovely parents - Mark and Briana Morrison. Brynne was an only child, her parents often telling her they "got it right the first time" and that's why they didn't need anymore kids. As Brynne got older, she began to realize more and more that the reason her parents hadn't had any other children was because Brynne had been an accident - the only reason they even married eachother. They were peaches-and-cream when Brynne was present, but when they thought she wasn't around, Mark and Briana fought almost constantly. Briana loved gymnastics and watched it on television whenever it came on. When Brynne was five, she saw her mother watching a gymnastics competition and was completely amazed at the way the girls could move. For weeks after, Brynne practiced in her room to try to twist her body like they could. Her mother walked in on her one day, realized her daughter's interest in gymnastics, and Brynne was enrolled at the local gymnasium the next day. She trained for years, pouring every ounce of her time into gymnastics. After a while, the fun was gone from the activity she'd once loved - now everything was serious. Her mother was always bugging her about getting scouted by talent agents, becoming an elite gymnast, and eventually going to the Olympics. It all became too much for Brynne, and on her eighteenth birthday she ran away from home. She hasn't seen or heard from her parents in three years, but she's sure they miss her (and they do), but Brynne still can't bring herself to go back. Shortly after she ran away, she'd realized she'd made a mistake, but by that point it was too late. As the years went by, she felt more and more guilty about doing that to her parents, which only caused her to stay away more. She just stumbled upon this circus a few days ago, and with no money and no home, the offer to join sounded pretty good. It's been a while since she's twisted herself up, but Brynne is sure she can get it together with a quickness.

                                                                Brynne is one of the most laid-back girls you will ever meet. She absolutely hates drama, and often avoids other females because in her experience, they're usually the ones who cause the drama. Yes, Brynne has had boyfriends in her life, but she is by no means easy. When it comes to sex, she's actually quite conservative, but not to the extent of being a prude. Brynne loves to laugh and has a great sense of humor. She rarely takes anything too seriously, however still knowing when something is meant to be taken seriously. Brynne is actually afraid of letting anyone get too close to her for fear they may break her heart, which contributes to her not-so-long-lasting relationships. However, that's not to stop her from being loving, caring, and kind to most everyone. Brynne is one to hold a grudge, though, so you better watch out for her bad side!
