[amithethird]

(The Worker was just reserved by someone. Sorry. The Dragon is still available, but I'll take any suggestions you might have for other freaks and mull them over. I'd hate to leave you out. )

[AqueousSnake]

(Is it alright if I take the Dragon?)

[Maxxika]

((It's alright, I didn't have an idea for another freak, I had a human character. I just didn't post anything when I first decided.))

Cordelia

Cordelia Nerin
The Mermaid

Cordelia jumped when she heard to caravan door slam open. She smiled as more water touched her skin, making her giddy. She listened to Sir Adler as he spoke and nodded her head to show that she was listening. She watched as big rain drops landed on him, wanting to jump out of the caravan and just stand in the rain. She smiled at the thought and jumped out eagerly after Alyce into the pouring rain. She watched as Jayson and Adam looked around, clearing the coast.
Cordelia grabbed a mallet and a stake.She went beside Alyce and easily hammered down her stake that was helping keep the cloth walls down. She smiled as the cold rain touched her skin. After she finished with her first stake, she saw that Alyce was having trouble with catching her rope.Cordelia smiled and attempted to help her catch it.

Officer Nathaniel Burri
Name: Nathaniel Burri
Nicknames: I've been called Nate but don't prefer it.
Age: Thirty-eight.
Gender: Male.
Rank/Freak Type: I am not a freak. I am a police officer and would prefer not to be in any way associated with your freak show.
________________________________________
Basic Description: I like to think of myself as a nice looking man, but who wouldn't?
[ He is light skinned, with light brown hair and blue eyes. He's not a small man, a good height and maintains good healthy muscle to go along with it. He keeps himself as clean and neat looking as he can, and normally keeps a good and confident posture. He has minor scars on his hands and lower arms from cuts, but they aren't noticeable from a first glance. He won't explain the cause to anyone. There is also a thin scar above his left eye. There isn't really anything big though that quite stands out in his appearance. ]
Clothes: You will not see me in anything but my uniform as I am on duty. Very neat and clean, I am very proud to look nice.
Accessories: I am not allowed to wear anything not included in the uniform while working.
Possessions: I carry a small gun, one I could afford, for work purposes. Also a knife for the same purpose. I do not carry anything else during work hours.
________________________________________
Basic Personality: I try to be respectful and calm. It is practical for my work. I will not call myself friendly. I do not try to be, nor do I want to be seen as your friend. I am not interested in relationships of any sort, I am working, remember? I have been called cold, impersonal, hard to talk to, even somewhat bossy. I could not argue with any of those descriptions. But I also do not want to be thought of as cruel, mean, or any of that. I try to be fair and level, not judgmental. I treat people as they deserve. You should not expect respect from me if you are disrespectful. If you are violent, I have the right and will respond with what is needed to protect myself. I treat people as they behave. No, I do not like to be given orders. No, I will not do what you tell me. I expect you to do as I say, I am the one with the badge here. I have been called unlikable, and I am working on making it easier for at least my coworkers to like me. I suppose I should try to give citizens something to like me for, but that may take some time to retrain my current behavior. I can and will help people who deserve it, I speak nicely to behaving children, I try to represent people in my occupation as respectful at least. Am I really lacking in positive traits like I've been told?
[ He spends a lot of time alone, isn't that talkative. He does not get too outwardly angry, doesn't yell a lot. He can be pushed to yelling though if annoyed enough. Especially if he is continuously given orders by people who are not his boss from work. He makes it hard for people to get close to him. He is mentally strong in that he can take anything you say to him and not be outwardly emotional on it. He thinks before he acts and speaks most of the time. Does not break the rules, is respectful, and stays out of arguments he can avoid being a part of. He takes his job seriously. Though not the guy you'd make friends with, he is not a bad guy to have respect you. He has a tendency to be very helpful for people he doesn't dislike. ]
Dreams: I am not really sure where I want to go from here.
Fears: Fear? Well...
[ He fears dying, and is scared more of the concept of dying alone and being forgotten. Though he set himself up for being lonely. He never expresses these fears, he is good at keeping these thoughts inside. ]
How did you get here?: Well, I got where I am in life by hard work and dedication. If you are talking about why I am visiting this horrid show it is because I was given orders to check it out.
________________________________________
Surviving Family: My parents are dead. I have a brother who I have not seen in years and do not necessarily care to meet up with again.
Friends: None.
Enemies: Too many to count. You do not really want to know. It is likely many more will be added.
Crush: Not at all!
________________________________________
Anything else?: What else is there to say about me? I do not feel like sharing anything more. I have said more than I really wanted to.
[ He is part of something PurpleInkFeather and I talked about. I will let them explain.
I like using pictures I have rights to and I happened to have one from the right time period. If it matters I got it from the Portland Police Bureau where the real person worked. It is a distant relative of mine. ]

(Awesome. Accepted. And with that all spots are filled! Yay! I'll add more if the opportunity presents its self and there may be opportunities to make more characters in the future. As for the plan, well, I'll explain it more once we get a little further along. It's not complicated. You guys will catch on pretty quickly. )

[celestiaa]

Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack
My blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallow'd ground

Like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins
I want to find you, tear out all of your tenderness


The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress
Until I wrap myself inside your arms I cannot rest
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'd ground

Name:
"Me? I'm Emma. Emma Mackenzie Mayfield."
Nicknames:
"Emma is perfectly fine, thank you."
Age:
"Twenty-two ... although I feel much, much older than that..."
Gender:
"Female, if you haven't noticed."
Rank/Freak Type:
"I am the Worker."
________________________________________

Basic Description:
Emma is of average height and has quite a thin frame. Her hair and eyes are both a dark, velvety brown. She doesn't have much time to brush her hair regularly, so it is usually tangled and knotted. On show days, however, Emma makes sure to deal with her hair appropriately. Recently, she has taken on a rather pale complexion and has deep shadows underneath her eyes.
Clothes:
With a very limited wardrobe, Emma's clothes are all very modest and practical. Normally, she will wear a collared button-up, dark slacks and boots with her long black jacket thrown on top. Since she takes no part in the show, Emma doesn't own anything too fancy or sparkly; just a simple black dress that she wears to greet the guests.
Accessories:
The only accessory that Emma owns is a rusted locket that she's had since her childhood. She occasionally wears it around her neck, but it usually stays hidden away among her things.
Possessions:
Emma owns nothing save her clothes and her locket.
________________________________________

Basic Personality:
Long days of hard work have turned Emma into a very quiet, withdrawn person. She does not have time to talk with any members of the show - by the time she has finished her work for the day, she is usually too tired to string two words together. Stress from all the physical labour she does has also caused her mental state to deteriorate, and she often wakes up in the middle of the night screaming. However, since part of her job is to greet those who come to see the show that the freaks have organized, it is necessary for her to appear calm, happy and at ease. Years of working under Sir Adler have taught her to stow away her true emotions under a mask of optimism.
Dreams:
Although Emma does not necessarily enjoy her job, there is nothing else she can do without it. The most she can dream for is to have somebody take her away and grant her with enough money so that she can start life anew...
Fears:
Darkness, long, snowy days and arrogant guests.
How did you get here?:
Emma was never on good terms with her parents. As soon as she turned of age, the first thing they wanted to do was marry her off in order to collect her dowry - something that Emma found terrible and disgusting. During a particularly stormy night, when Emma's parents were having an argument, she took the opportunity to flee the house with a pack of clothes and her locket. For days, she traveled along the highways, stopping at small villages where she worked brutal jobs in order to pay for food and shelter. It came as sort of a mixed blessing when she happened upon Sir Adler during one of her long working hours. He offered to take her into his circus, promising a better life than the one she was currently living. Lured in by this promise, Emma immediately accepted, and has been working underneath him ever since.
Theme Song:
Howl - Florence + The Machine

Alyce Gaver
The Musician

Alyce saw that Cordelia was trying help and gave her a thankful smile. Even though she had the help of another, the rope still seem to never touch the ground. Sometimes, her and Cordelia would bump into each other, followed with giggling at there small collisions. Alyce's hair was now soaked along with her clothing and she looked like something the cat dragged in. As Alyce attempted to keep her hair from fly everywhere, she noticed that Cordelia looked like she just come from the power room, all pretty and kept together.
