Username: Amiselle
Character name: Angel Lotaria
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Picture/Description: Here and on the left.
Personality: Angel is a true performer. She feels the best on stage, her true colours finally showing when she starts dancing. Usually, she's quiet and calm, not really the party soul. When she has to do something, she just gets it over with, never hesitating for a second if it's something that can't be solved differently. She's intelligent, and although she never dreamed of following a career as a dancer, preferring the more down-to-earth, normal activities and jobs, she found out that this was what she needed. The sport was full of adrenaline and every move in it had to be perfect, or she would face injuries or death, and she liked that. She liked that, for once, her life was fully in her hands. Nobody could stop her or tell her not to do something. So she ran away from home and joined the circus. Angel is independent, she hates when someone has to help her and often hides her problems and fears from the world, just so she can solve them herself. She doesn't want to seem weak, and her stubborness often leads to trouble, but somehow, she always manages to get out of it in time. After she left her parents, she realised that she could do whatever she wanted and some of the hidden aspects of her personality started showing. She was a fighter, like her parents, and even though they made her miserable when she lived with them, she's thankful for what they taught her.
History: She was born in a normal family, her father a doctor and her mother a succesful lawyer. She was taught to fight for her right and speak for herself. Unfortunately, this method didn't apply at home. She never questioned them, growing up in a house where they layed down the rules, and she had to listen and do what they told her. She wasn't happy there, but she didn't think of running away until she saw the fire dancers at the circus. She made friends with one of them, and the performer taught her everything she knew, seeing talent in the young girl. The director of the circus saw them one day, and he insisted on hiring Angel. He said that she had the grace and the ferocity needed to take the job. She happily accepted, leaving her home and family behind as she went on tour with the circus. After about a year, she quit and joined Cirque De la Lune.
Type of performer: Fire dancer
Other: I don't think so. If you want me to change anything, add something or explain, just tell me and I will.

Username:
Ms. Bennington
Character name:
Tikaani Filtiarn
Age:
Twenty
Gender:
Male
Picture/Description:
See left.
Personality:
Damon is a very determined, strong man, capable of many things...but extremely limited of others. When his mind is set to something, there's no getting in his way or stopping him from reaching his goal, no matter how long it may take; he'll get there eventually, despite any obstacles. He's like a force of nature in that way, reaching unceasingly for what he desires until he finally gets it.
But this can also become a bad thing; if he gets too caught up in what he's striving for, what he wants to accomplish, he may begin to think less of the others around him. He doesn't forget them or think he's better than them in that moment, but they just become...less important. It's a vice of his that is not easily broken, especially since he's tried several times to pay more attention to the people who care about him while striving forward.
Despite his bouts of obsession with goals, he's truly a deep and caring individual, increasingly intelligent, with dark, piercing eyes that seem to look far beyond the outer skin of a person. He's charismatic while quiet, and people are drawn to him in times of need, whether for comfort or just an ear to listen. He'll never tell a secret he's been told to keep, or break a promise that he's made. In doing so, he's one of the most trustworthy men you can find, dependable almost anything you could need, if it's within reason. He can become your greatest ally and friend, and it doesn't take much but honesty and integrity to get his attention and support.
Another side of Damon is his romantic nature. He's never found his one true love, but he's dreamt of doing so since a young age. He has dated his fair share of girls, but none of them ever stuck with him and worked through all of his quirks, which really aren't all that many. None of them were ever permanent, and he still doggedly searches for someone he can spend the rest of his life with in contentment and happiness; or as much as can be had under the circumstances he and his group of college friends are in. Whatever happens, whoever it is, he'll find a way to work through it and solve the problem; part of his obsession with goals and his intelligent determination.
One of the key points of his personality, and his one true passion in life besides the fire he is consumed with, is the piano. He has created countless compositions of his own, short pieces that express something he rarely ever physically shows. When you're listening to one of his pieces, you're listening to a part of him you'll most likely never see again, though he's never discarded a single note he's written, not since his childhood, when he began to play.
Fire, aside from the piano, is his passion in life, the one thing he strives to perfect and grow in, to add to and complete. He loves fire, the dangerous, thrilling heat as it passes so close to his skin, and then as it touches his lips, a breath from him making the flames explode and grow ferociously. It's enthralling for him, practicing and performing with something so alive and so perpetually dangerous.
History:
Damon has been in the Cirque de la Lune for as long as he can remember; for all he knows, he was born within the tents of it. He does not recall parents or loved ones that could be family, but it doesn't bother him at all; his fellow performers are family and friends enough for him. Most orphans would perhaps wonder what their parents were like; he has no desire to know.
Damon worked his way up the ranks, trying a bit of everything he could in the Cirque to try and find his 'calling', or so he called it. From grooming the sand of the main tent, to rolling up canvas, to cooking, to acrobatics{he nearly broke his back}, then tightrope walking{fell and narrowly avoided breaking his neck}...he felt like nothing would be good for him by age thirteen. And then he saw the one man he had always feared to even approached; the old firebreather. Damon watched in awe as the man practiced, performing a type of dance while twirling the batons of fire in intricate patterns, arm muscles taut and and coiled in exertion. And then the man did what Damon never expected him to; he pushed one fiery end of the baton to his lips and exhaled a great gust of air; fire exploded in a consuming spiral, an unbelievable sight, and retracted to the baton just as quickly.
Damon had found his calling.
Type of performer:
Firebreather
Other:
Nope. (:
