THEIR JOB:


 
Alright, welcome to our wonderful circus roleplay first off! (^.^) Your character sounds like she could be a lot of fun to introduce to our story. However, we must take care of some issues before we get to all that fun stuff. I hear Calamity's concern about Teo having too much power. I think the ability to "destroy and create things with her mind" is too much power. If you can narrow down that power some, then it might be acceptable. Perhaps, she could turn her drawings into real life objects? Or she could have some kind of acid power that enables her to melt/destroy objects, maybe? Something more specific like those powers would be acceptable. Also, the final power you mentioned about her banshee singing and hallucinations...please explain that power further. ( O.o )


Now, the biggest issue I have with your character sheet is your grammar. (o.-) I really don't want to offend you, so please don't take this to heart... A few misspellings are perfectly understandable, but your poor use of commas and periods is rather irksome. I must ask that you go back and do a little proofreading of your character sheet. Seeing as this is a "Casual" roleplay rather than a "Simple" roleplay, I expect more literacy. If you can convince me that you will write more literately in the roleplay by correcting your character sheet, then I'm sure your character will be accepted. (' :) ) (Oh, but don't forget to edit your powers too).

Name:


"The one and only."


Jacqueline Corbett



Show Name:


"Say my name three times..I dare you."


Verrina Vandyke or Bloody Mary



Age:


"I may not look it.."


65 y/o (looks 25)



Origin:


"La ville de l'amour."


Paris, France



Sexuality:


"Hello boys..."


Heterosexual



How long have they been in the circus:


"Not long enough, I'll tell you!"


1 year



Species:


"And I bite...hard."


Vampire



Abilities:


"The better to fight you with!"


-flight



-superhuman speed



-transformation (into a bat)



-psychokinesis (ability to move objects with mind)



Appearance:

Moroi.jpg



Height: 5'6


Weight: 117lbs


Do they have any tattoos:


"Why would you want to know, deary?"


One. A small letter, V, under her right ear.



Background:


"I don't ask about you're story, do I?"


As far as the circus is concerned, there isn't much about Jacqueline, besides the fact that she is a 65 year old vampire from France. She didn't do much in her life until she was bit. She was just a simple housewife who stayed at home. She was married, to a man quite a few years older than her. His name was Romano Corbett and he was a successful banker. He wasn't home very often, leaving Jacqueline by herself for many hours. But one night, when he was home, she caught him in bed with another woman. She was furious and stormed out of the house, to God knows where. She was walking down an alley when a mystery man grabbed her and began attacking her. Long story short, he was a vampire and he had bitten her. He eventually ditched her after she had fully turned. She felt powerful, she felt free. She could finally take care of herself and not have to worry about a man doing it all for her. She went back home to seek revenge on her husband, who had wronged her. She viciously murdered him in cold blood, and quickly fled to the northern countries for safety.



She was a nomad for 40 years and just traveled the area, until she had found a mysterious circus with people like her; ones who were outcasts and didn't fit in, but she realized that she fit in with them.



Personality:


"If you leave me alone when I ask, I won't have to bite you!"


Jacqueline was always a social butterfly. She is polite, for the most part, and kind-hearted. She loves to be alone though, and appreciates it when people let her be. She needs space sometimes, especially when the harvest time is near. She enjoys performing in front of large crowds and even in front of small ones. She has trust-issues and has a hard time believing what people say.



Some Likes:


"I have a passion too, you know! And it isn't just eating people.."


+performing



+flying around



+hunting



+drinking blood



+ballroom dancing



Some Dislikes:


"Oh, some things just irk me!"


-liars



-sunlight



-water



-disrespectful people



-young children



What does the inside of their trailer look like?


"I don't sleep, and I don't eat, but I do drink a lot....of blood."

Other:


Jacqueline is not a vegetarian vampire. Not like those ones from Twlight. She chooses to feast on human blood.

Name: Athanon


Show Name: Nikolas


Age: Indeterminate, but appears to be early twenties.


Origin: Hell


Sexuality: Straight


How long have they been in the circus: Six years


Species: Minor devil


Abilities:


- Superhuman strength and agility


- Ability to read surface thoughts and feelings


- Devil's tongue, his voice naturally makes things sound more true. He can't just tell someone to do anything and they immediately agree, but it gives him an unnatural edge when it comes to convincing people.


- Regeneration, but very slow. A minor cut would take to completely heal and disappear.


Appearance:


Lucilfer.jpg



Height: 5'11"


Weight: 160 lbs.


Do they have any tattoos: The one on his forehead.


Background:


Athanon was a minor devil in Hell, which meant he was of little consequence. A minion, to be tossed aside and used for whatever his 'master' wished. Until the day he was summoned to the human world many centuries ago by a sorceror. His new 'master', had about as equal a care for his well-being, especially after he realized that Athanon could not grant him immortality or anything like that. He did see to it that the man ended up as a powerful and well-appointed noble though.


Human society and his master did not hold much interest for Athanon though, at least not the ones that his human master kept company with. They were self-important and boastful, but most often only out for their own self-interest and would agree with whoever they thought could see them to better fortunes. Athanon tired of it and over the next few years orchestrated the fall of not only his master, but the entire kingdom he was a part of.


He had hoped the now free servants would seek out a better life for themselves, the peasants, but they didn't. They just sought out a new shepherd to lead them. Some even wanted him, he wanted nothing to do with them. With his master now dead he traveled the world, studying and watching over various civilizations. He was almost always disappointed. He made a few friends over the years though so he learned not all of humanity was irredeemable.


Personality:


Curious, charismatic, and seemingly very approachable and open. He's exceedingly polite, but he's also always watching and judging even if it's not evident.


Some Likes:


Curiosity, intelligence, music, books, art.


Some Dislikes:


Willful ignorance, materialism, followers.


What does the inside of their trailer look like?


patient-room_01.jpg



Other: He will not participate in the slaughter or feast on the essence/soul of any beyond those he determines to be "sheep".

Hey, the spider demon is original: I like that. However, I'd appreciate if you took another look at the character skeleton on page one. It seems you forgot to include some information about your character like her likes, dislikes, and powers...

Go more into detail on the "dark magic" ability. What can she do with it? After that is further explained (and not ridiculously powerful), she will be APPROVED!


I'll write her into the "Notes" tab in a little while and assign her job in the circus. (My laptop is about to die...)
 
I haven't read all the posts so far, but would it be of interest for you if I created a character that was a whistleblower, trying to expose the murders during the harvest and everything else happening at the show? I was considering giving them an ability as well, and maybe creating a backstory of being hateful towards the supernatural and other creatures.

    some kind of fuck-uppery into your life by come the end of it and there was really no telling what your actions could affect from then to the time of your death; for all anyone knows, their simple hand wave to a passing stranger could have been the signal to blow up the national bank, because, what they didn't know was that that stranger was a terrorist sent from an ambiguous country to bring about the downfall of life as you know it. However, perhaps that's being a bit paranoid - it's not every day that you pass a suspicious stranger secretly affiliated with an organization of global terrorists - but the point being, that one shouldn't live their life in hopes of a happy ending, such was far too arduous a task; at best you could hope for a pat on the back when you explain to the "higher-ups", if they existed, how you tripped and cracked your skull open on the concrete on your way to work. So, all in all, it just seemed more reasonable to desire a happy beginning, so that you could look back from your shitty life in the present to the fond memories of the past, or so Hampton Lovett had thought, but that too seemed to be but a distant un-grant-able wish, more so now than a happy ending.Wishful thinking never got anyone anywhere; especially not monsters.


    It seemed like not too long ago he was but a small child, barely able to grab a soul, nonetheless eat it. He had had so little time then it seemed, and now, he had all the time in the world and didn't very well know what to do with it. He could recall the time when his parents would call out from the mansion porch to he and his sister as they stumbled through the grass and vines of the yard to get back home, and he could recall what followed thereafter - all too clearly:



    "Race you home!" she said, sprinting off in the direction of the building in the distance.



    "Come on you know I hate running," he moaned, lagging behind.



    "I know! That's why I'm sure I'll win," she laughed, leaving him in the dust.



    The boy trailed behind, exhausted as he finally made it to the foot of the porch steps.



    "Honestly, Hampton, you could at least try," she said, shaking her head.



    "What was that?" he said trying to catch his breath, "I did try! You know I'm no good at physical exertion."



    "What?"



    "I'm bad at this sort of stuff..."



    "Hm...?"



    He sighed, giving in to Ella's prodding. "You win..."



    "Now that's what I like to hear! Always such a good sport Hampton; know when to admit you're beat!"



    "... more like forced," he said.



    "Same thing," she laughed, hugging her brother tightly.



    That's how it was. That's how it had been, but it didn't stay that way forever. The villagers were growing restless; people were starting to die. Humans. And there were no warnings of what was to come from them. Houses burned, children screamed for their mothers in the night, and families of soul eaters were left to scatter in the darkness. The Lovetts fled from their burning home and retreated to the sewers below, along with any others that managed to escape the chaos above.



    The humans didn't seem to care if they remained below in the sewage pipes beneath the town, for to them, it was where those monsters belonged, regardless of the way they lived or whether or not they had families, they were all just parasites in the eyes of the humans.



    Weeks went by with the constant wails of the starving and the ever so watchful eyes of the humans above. However, as the weeks drew into months, the wailing and cries of the sick began to die down, many having given up or dropped dead. Though there were few who still spoke of a rebellion in which to massacre ever human who had ever wronged them, but its progress became little more than hyped whispers in the distance. The siblings' parents had little interest in a revolution; they insisted in saying that times had been worse, as they smiled to their children and held them close, but once it was no longer clear what the future would hold or how much time had passed in the dank environment which they now called home, things took a turn for the worst.



    Ella had grown ill and was fading fast. They were devastated. Hampton knew that they all expected it to be him, were waiting for it to be him, the way they looked at him and worried so over him; so when his sister was the one who began to weaken and fall ill to violent fits of hematemesis, vomiting blood, it hit them like a train.



    So gradually had it arrived, small things now making themselves known as she no longer was the first to reach the dead rat at the end of the tunnel or win at a game of catch the fly. The only thing she could seem to win at was a game of Sad Sacks, which she had made up not too long ago when she had been resting her head on their mother's lap; in which, as they all sat in silence, she exclaimed, "Gee, you're all just a bunch of sad sacks!" No one thought much of it at the time, for they were all to busy being sad, but she was right.



    "Dead puppies."



    "Dying puppies."



    "You made up this game, what are you doing? You're not supposed to say the same thing."



    "I didn't. I said 'dying' puppies. There's a difference."



    "How so, they'll both be dead in the end..."



    "Because dying puppies are sadder, because their not dead yet, but you know they will be," she said.



    There was silence.



    "Why don't you two play a different game?" offered their mother, "your father's trying to get some rest, and your arguing isn't helping."



    "Sorry father," they said.



    Their mother smiled. "When I had twins I thought you two would be so alike, but you couldn't be any more different."



    "That's okay mother, I wouldn't want to be like Hampton anyway," replied the girl.



    "Hey!"



    They laughed, and for a moment, they were happy, but despite her smiles, their mother still seemed sad.





    ---




    "Where are you going?" asked the tired Hampton, having woken up to the sound of movement.


    "Just going for a little walk, your sister here couldn't sleep and was getting restless."



    "Oh, I see..." But you didn't see. You didn't see at all did you?



    "Yes, so try not to be too bored without me, Hampton!" said the smiling girl holding her mother's hand.

    It tasted so good. So much better than rat flesh; not to mention the meager soul the rodent had. It was as if he couldn't get enough of it, while still having too much. None of them had eaten in days, and nothing this big in so long, it was hard to remember. Scarfing it down startled the stomach, but it was too precious to simply have wasted in throwing back up.


    "Where's Ella?"



    "You know her, she got caught up in listening to those stories of rebellion."



    "Oh, I see..." No. "I know she's always liked that sort of thing, but she wouldn't miss a chance like this."



    "Dear, please." she stared down at the ground, hands shaking.



    "Where is she? Mother. Where-"



    "What do you think," she snapped back, "What do you damn well think?" She was yelling now, and growing increasingly frantic as she shook violently, tears rolling down her cheeks. "I never wanted to do such a thing, I never wanted this! I just wanted to live happily with my lovely family in our lovely home..."



    The boy screamed looking down at the meat in his hands; finally seeing it for what it truly was. About to throw up at the site of the grey skin under all the blood.



    "Don't you dare!" she yelled grabbing him by the neck, "Don't you dare do that to her."



    Although he could recall the memory with such sickening clarity, he could do little to describe the feeling of being forced to consume what little remained of his sister.



    Was it just that they were cursed with unimaginably bad luck or had they been deserving of it all? He could never quite figure it out, though he settled with both, as the rebellion took place only months later, the humans unprepared and driven into the sewers to suffer the same fate if not killed in cold blood on the spot.





    ---




    Why didn't you wait Ella? I know you were the impatient type... but could have waited only a little longer?


    "It wasn't my fault. I didn't want to do it. I just wanted my family to live. I needed my family to live. It wasn't my fault. You believe me don't you? Don't you, Ella, my dear?"



    She was so often like this now, lost in the past; unable to accept that she had tainted their family name by committing the biggest taboo of their kind and having her husband leave not soon after.



    "Of course mother, how could I ever stay mad at you," he said, holding her hand.



    "Oh, my sweet Ella," she said, stroking a hand through his hair, "Never change. Stay the way you are. My little girl..."



    This was how the day often went, if she was not throwing a fit or trying to kill herself. The boy had accepted that she would never again see him for him, as even upon her death having burned down the small house with her inside calling out her daughter's name, as her son tried to quell the angry crowd outside, who wanted nothing more than for the cannibals to be gone. There was no longer reason for him to stay there, regardless of if they were creatures the same as he. There was no beginning anymore, there was only the end.





 
Oh, bbcode, why do you hate me...? I will try to fix the above mess later, sorry (●´⌓`●).
