Have you come to be amazed? Do you get a shiver out of the amazing or a shock from the impossible? Are your days lonely and cold, waiting for nothing but to be filled with excitement and doubt from the newest generations of slaves to the world's command? Come then, men. Come women, children! All will seek to be enlightened and find it so in our twisted little family. Some of you are content with the outstanding, the flash and dazzle of showbiz and daring acts of bravery. Step right on up to the light, and find yourself immersed in the circus.[/blockquote]
But there are some of you that need more, don't you? Filthy whores and worthless pigs, creating a spark of lust and greed as they bleed and moan for your viewing pleasure. Nubile skin split and fluids dripped simply for your eyes to feast upon, to devour and hold so very close when your lover just isn't enough. Don't be afraid to admit it, for we are of the same corruption that you hate to love. Simply step this way in the dead of night, away from the night and into the shadows. We are experts in taboo and masters in the obscene...
RINGLEADER: (Chaos) / Face Claim: Marilyn Manson [male]
lift up the receiver, i'll make you a believer
"Come out from hiding, rats! The night is upon us! Pleasure is gained when blood is shed - are you sick enough to enjoy the pain of others? No need to be shy, we're all depraved here!"
Head of the freakshow kids, the ringleader is not only charming but manipulative, bending people to his will with his wily personality. Cosmetic surgery has altered his face to grotesque proportions and he always has a heavy layer of make-up obscuring his skin. Possibly asexual, he is a clinical xenophobe; the freakshow and circus kids are the ones that click for him, the only ones without exception that he would sacrifice all he is for their gain. The rest of the world is simply a playground and money, but he will fight to the death for the ones he connects with. Sadistic, a snakecharmer and extremely close with Zombie Boy and Mutilationist. He will do special shows for high ranking clients, often resulting in much blood, gore and the occasional fainting for the people who thought they could take the sights. Extremely secretive due to the immoral and at times illegal activities he indulges in for the sake of showbiz. Is the face of the darker side of the circus.

ZOMBIE BOY: (elegant) / Face Claim: Rick Genest [male]
be obscene, baby and not heard
"It's expression to me. My skin is what I should be on the inside and out, and this is what I believe I am, and what I could be. Death is amazing, if you look at it. Complete rebirth."
One of the very first freakshow kids, best friends with Mutilationist since he was young. His fascination with death caused him to be shunned by his peers and even his family to an extent, though he still has a fairly close relationship with his mother. Wasn't kicked out so much as he moved out of the streets on his own in order to save his mom the tension that appeared more and more apparent the older he grew. Picked up by the Ringleader from the streets and given a place to stay, given his first tattoos as a young teen. Over the years he was taught various stunts and tricks to further the skeleton approach, but cannot slash his skin as it would ruin his art. He is quiet on the outside as opposed to his violent exterior, but harbors a whirlwind anger that can appear at any time. Intelligent but nobody thinks of him that way at first due to his appearance. Possibly has immunity to pain in order to cope with such extensive body work. Him and Mutilationist frequently dare each other to do more and more insane and dangerous stunts purely for their own and the audience's viewing pleasure.

MUTILATIONIST: (clover) / FC: [Felice Fawn]
rebel rebel, bitch bitch, rebel rebel, party party, sex sex sex and don't forget the violence
"You kidding? I would rather be doing this than be stuck in a house with work and school and normalcy. Fuck that, this is what life is about. Freedom, depravity, the tingling in your head and your heart - oh, and don't forget your crotch. I sure haven't."
The other original freak show child along with Zombie Boy. Mischievous and always looking for new ways to get in trouble, she is the louder of the pair. Best friends with Zombie Boy since they were young, the two were always seen together. Into drugs but not an addict, she is a vocal supporter of the "sinful" life with few reservations, much to the horror of the people residing around her. Bisexual. Also has an extremely tight bond with Manson, and gladly learns his tricks of the trade. As a mutilationist, she is capable of distorting her body into things it shouldn't be doing; hammering spikes down her nasal cavity, swallowing swords and blowing fire after Cricket taught her how. Her specialty is self-mutilation or aided, where she can push hoops into her back and hook them onto lines which she hangs off of. A known and proud masochist, she helps the Ringleader with his special shows by being tied up in chains and repeatedly cut, whipped and strangled and enjoys every moment of it. As a consequence, her body is covered in scars but she is proud of them, they tell a story that she will never finish.
[note: these scenes with Ringleader will happen, and will most probably be about as graphic as the site will allow. do not try for it unless you know you can play them out to their full potential]

GEEK: (OWNER) / FC: / [either gender]
the world told us sin's not good but we know it's great
"I don't know what it is but I hate it and love it and I think I'll die if I stop. I just can't explain it but it gets me so hard, the way the blood feels on my skin and how the bones can crunch under my fingers. Their life in my hands, it's like I'm God."
The Geek is one of a kind. They always stood out, never wanted to be included like the other children. From an early age had a twisted fascination with death, gore and the taboo. Actively tortures small animals and receives a thrill while doing so; their first act was a raccoon when they were eight. One second the corpse was there and the next they had torn it to pieces with a stick. This escalated over time, the neighbour's cat going missing or blood found where the stray dog should have been. When angered or scared, will go out and butcher to calm their nerves. Fills out the serial killer triad by being a bedwetter and setting things on fire. On stage the Geek will bite the heads off live chickens for amusement and shock value, and frequently tear open the carcass while it still twitches. For the unique secret shows, a body will occasionally disappear from their caskets and find their way to the table in the dark ring (thanks to a certain friend in desperate need of a few dollars and no moral standing), where they will make the most of the cooling body they've been given. Aloof but still grateful to the freak show children for taking them in, they sometimes are given the knife in the Ringmaster's special shows with the Mutilationists to feed their desires. Are enemies with the Lynx Tamer and Bee Bearder siblings. Hasn't killed a human yet, but those almost instances are getting harder and harder to ignore.

WOLFBOY: (OWNER) / FC: Pruthviraj Patil [male]
hey, you, what do you see? something beautiful and something free?
"I'm not ashamed of who I am or what I can do, really. It's what I am that I wish I could change. People pretend to be open-minded but really, it doesn't show."
Wolfboy, in contrary to the rest of the freak show children, is not horribly tainted by twisted ideals and wrong upbringings. On the contrary, he's actually quite a well adjusted young man. It's the outside that sets him apart. He was born with the disease Hypertrichosis which causes thick, dark hair to cover his entire body much like fur. When he was younger he was named Wolfboy by his peers, and the name stuck. Unlike the rest of District Two his family is not very rich as they've had multiple doctors to take a look at him, so when the Ringleader offered him a place in his freak show, he jumped at the chance. His act consists of wearing scraps and a collar, walking on all fours while howling and snapping at the audience. For the sake of appearances, whe Ringhleader has a deal to make with a high paying client he sits at his feet and lets the him stroke his hair like a hound (the act must always be taken further than you thought it could be, was the first thing he learned). Even if the act itself is degrading he understands that it is necessary and still views the kids as his second family. Kind hearted and softly spoken, he doesn't hesitate to use his ferocious image to his advantage if one of his friends is threatened.
