Misfit Circus

Name: Desmond Miles

Age: 17

Power/Circus Act: He has superhuman reflexes/attributes. Don't know about act, I'm thinking acrobatics, or something.

Appearance: Tall with a mess of dark brown hair. He keeps it relatively short (out of his eyes), but still a little long. He has a sort of disheveled look that never seems to go away. He normally dresses in skinny jeans with a plain grey or black t-shirt and a jacket with a high collar.

Personality: Has a warm, doesn't really care sort of attitude. He is open to talking to people, and he is very inviting. He dislikes the government and most organized religions, and tends to have a sort of "rebel" outlook on life, but he's not a bad boy. He has a dry, and sarcastic sense of humor. He doesn't seek out fights, but he enjoys them, and thinks of them as therapeutic almost.

Weaknesses/Strengths: He took fencing, and other martial arts when he was growing up, and he sort of adapted them to his speed, so he is a good fighter. He uses his powers a lot more than necessary, especially when around people who knows he has them. When among normal people it becomes hard for him to control himself. Thats why he joined the circus.

Likes/Dislikes: Likes warm drinks, music of all kinds (plays guitar, piano, and violin), likes physical activity, like soccer. Dislikes stuck up people, the government, hypocrites, heavy metal bands, and people who make situations bigger than they are.

Other: has a british accent, and is up for love.

So exited! my first storybook

Hey, PuffSammy, can I call you Bug? Oh, and I have no idea where Nick came from.

Name: Zanette 'Zephyra' Brown

Age: 14

Power/Circus Act: She has a) incredibly light and porous bones, and b) wings on her ankles and shoulders, hidden during times by a flap of skin, enabling her to fly/Her main circus act is Trapeze Artist, but, so long as there's a reasonably safe, and un-excitable crowd, will fly for them as a 'freak', very seldomly.

Appearance: She's quite delicate, very thin, although her skin is getting tanned from the flight (color of very milky tea). She has a scatter of freckles across her nose, while her eyes are a sea-green. She usually wears a kind of white and gray shirt-and-flares outfit (with Velcro at the areas where the wings appear). All in all, she looks rather like one of those adverts that make you give money to charity the first time you see it, but other than that, you get tired of it.

Personality: She doesn't talk much. Although she'd like to voice her opinions, she just doesn't. Usually, she'd just write a note if she's really adamant about it. New people make her paranoid. She is also frightened of loud noises.

Weaknesses/Strengths: Well, for weaknesses, pretty much any physical blow would break bones. Mental insults don't really do anything; she's heard it all before. However, once in the air, she becomes incredibly confident, and would do anything.

Likes/Dislikes: Likes; flying, marinara pizza, anchovies, the color gray, people who give her space. Dislikes; people who crowd and jeer at her, loud noises, those idiots who leave gum underneath the seats.

History: She was basically in a children's home, where the nurse was really unsure of why she broke bones so easily. When she was twelve, when she decided to run away, along with some money she stole from the counselor, her stuffed panda, and some crisps. She came across the Misfit Circus after about a day. While practicing her trapeze act, she let go, hoping to get into the net. Instead, the wings burst out. It took another couple of weeks to harness the flight.

Other: Up for love, in a way; she's jumpy, and it would take some practice for someone to be very gentle with her.

Reddy Freddy, why do you keep sneaking online when I'm not looking, and running away when I am???

By the way, thank you all for joining! This is both Red's and Puffy's first storybook, and I'm teaching them how we roll. Or, ehm, I roll.

Sorry. Sporadic scheduling.

*pffft* You smart people and your schedules. So, how does everything look to you? Did I cover everything? Just post on here if I left anything out you want to say.

Argh! Your avatar keeps changing! I'm totally bamboozeled! Anyway, nope, everything looks great.

Haha, thanks. If there's ever any problems you or Sammy have with what I write, just post. You can post your own info, after all, we are co-owning this storybook.

Actually, we should probably decide where this whole thing is happening, right? I mean, we've done everything else, but they don't have a place to be yet.

Let's say they JUST got to the Washington countryside. Like, they are just now unpacking. Well, when we start the story, that is. Or do you have ideas?

I think Washington State is a good setting for the story.

OK, cool. I figure Oregon would be typical for me, and I don't know much about other places, besides the keys, and Wyoming...and Miami, but two of those places are too crowded, and one of those places has nothing in it. Can you guess which one?
