This is the story of the Black Rose Circus, one of the most famous in the world. The Black Rose Circus was founded by a man named Ross Jenson. The circus was one of the most sought after and all of them traveled the world together. But happiness doesn't last forever. Tragedy struck the circus. Ross had died, leaving behind his wife, daughter, and his whole circus family. They decided to move on, hiring a new man that they had thought to be perfect, Gabriel Addington. He seemed really great at first. Charming, smart, charismatic, but then they found out how he really was after they signed him a lifetime contract. He was really hateful, mean, everything bad about a person. Now not only does the circus have to try and find work, they have to try and survive Gabriel...

Here's my character:

Name: Emily Rose Jensen
Age: 19

Personality: She is a very open kind of person. She loves to command attention and make people laugh. She also tells stories like no other.

Appearance: http://ghost-of-dreams.deviantart.com/art/The-Mistress-of-the-Ring-82385195 She has dark brown hair, though, with bright blue eyes.

History: Emily was born into the circus and has been with them all of her nineteen years. She and her father were very close, so when he died, she decided that she needed to keep the circus running in his memory.

Talents: She is an acrobat, knife thrower and a singer.

What They Do In The Show: she is the ring master

Other: Up for love and needs a best friend. Also hates Gabriel, but he has sort of a 'thing' for her. She also is always wearing a top hat, and carried one of those long, skinny swords ( I want to call it a saber, but I'm not sure :wink: )


You guys know you want to join, so come one, come all...

Name: Danielle Paige Tashek (Dani Tash)

Age: 17

Personality: She's very bubbly and loves all her animals. She'd protect them before her own kind. She has her own way of talking to them, almost like the infamous Doctor Doolittle.

Appearance: http://pretty-as-a-picture.deviantart.c ... -104630759

History: She was born into the circus. Her mother was a tightrope walker and her father was a lion tamer. However, one day, her mother fell of the tightrope, breaking her neck. Her father left the circus soon after, leaving Danielle alone and confused by the special talents she took on from her father.

Talents: She can 'talk' to the animals and she's also sort of a freak, do to her ability to take on the characteristics of any animal

What They Do In The Show: Lead Animal tamer

Other: Up for love, but doesn't warm up to humans at all, even her fellow circus people. She's got a sugar glider on her shoulder all the time named Ninja

Name: Raena

Age: 18

Personality: Raena is a very cold-hearted girl, who hates what she is; she's a freak. Though she brings talent to the cirus, she still knows that even as a circus freak, she is still an outcast. Raena doesn't reveal much of herself to others, but when you do talk with her, she has a faint Chinese accent, and she never speaks more than need be. She never pries for information, and often lets others tell their stories to her on their own accord.

Appearance: This is her.

History: She was born in China as an albino; a freak. She had bright, sapphire eyes, also strange for albinos, considering most have red eyes. She was only young when he parents decided to give her to the cirucs. They had no reason to keep her -- she was a freak, and she'd never do anything in her life.

Talents: Acrobatics/'freak'

What They Do In The Show: Contorts herself in ways that are seeimingly impossible, as well as floor routines. She is also -- being a 'freak' -- on display after and before shows for pictures and autographs and such ...

Other: Up for love.

I call a Freak/Fortune teller

EDITED:

Name: Drina

Age: 20

Personality: Bubbly, easy to talk to, and enjoys being a part of the circus. (I'll reveal more as we go)

Appearance:
her dress/costume: http://bluekoinu.deviantart.com/art/Gyp ... l-79379842
Her: http://adrianaskm.deviantart.com/art/ai ... e-88070108

History: She was found by Ross's wife as a baby. She's been working in the circus ever since. When Ross died, however, Drina had thought Emily and her mother were to take charge. (Remember she's the addoptive daughter. This is my own twist and Alice, I think it'd be cool if there were some jealousy issues between Emily and Drina)

Talents: Fortune teller/freak

What They Do In The Show: She has the stage set up for her and a her orb is brought out. The lights are dimmed and she contacts the people in the audience's dead loved ones. That's why she's a freak but she also knows to read plams, hence the fortune teller.

Other:
UP FOR LOVE!

Name: Anton Morath
Age: 19
Personality: Somewhat shy around the performers, but friendly. He’s terrified of quite a bit of stuff in the circus, but he can put up with it to an extent.
Appearance: I’ll add this later
History: He ran away from home and joined the circus when he was ten. It was a place he knew he’d be able to escape from his abusive parents in, as when they’d taken him, he couldn’t wait to leave. They never found him there, and he soon discovered that he actually enjoyed working for the circus. While initially just a sweeper boy, Ross later moved him towards an actual involvement in the show.
Talents: Pyrotechnics
What They Do In The Show: special effects and firing the man out of the cannon
Other: Up for love
