Trying something a little different than usual.

(This rp can fit 1-3 people!)



It came to mind while I was listening to Unlike Pluto- Sin Circus while sketching. Instead of the song's intentional meaning, I kind of came up with my own interpretation of the song. Soooo we now have this-

(Intro)
Y/C is looking for a job and discovers a small (but growing) travelling circus. He/She decide to join it, since the hourly rate is more than minimum wage. Everyone who joined the show either is running from something or looking for easy money. Nobody knows the ringmaster, they just know what their acts are and what they should do. Rebel (M/C) took a liking to Y/C and decided to help them out with their act(s). But as colorful and fun it is when it's daytime, it's different when the sun sinks below the horizon and the stars glimmer in the sky. The circus becomes filled with uncertainty, paranoia even.

(Option 1)
One night, someone finds a body. Nobody (except the killer) knows who did it, so they launch an investigation. After a couple nights without incident, another performer is killed. The remaining people have to group up in pairs in case the killer goes for someone else... (more of a horror/mystery for this prompt)

(Option 2)
A man suddenly shows up claiming to be the Ringmaster, but he isn't trustworthy and people start noticing that all he does is lie. He offers the performers a better life, with a higher paygrade. An easy life where everyone can live like Kings/Queens. Do you go with him or stay? (This one has room to change the plot, if you go with the man a whole new plot will open up, but if y/c stays, then we can revert back to Option 1, who knows, the mysterious man could be the killer)

(Other)

Username: Ravennflightt
Character's...
Name: Rebel
Name meaning: "The act of rebelling"
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Personality: Kind, caring, though she's shy she won't give up a chance to protect someone she trusts. She's quite the fighter.
Act: A kind of 'lion tamer' except she trains a bovine-like drake (who I might add, is adorable and really nonthreatening, but is good at acting).
Why they joined: Rebel is a runaway from the orphanage after a Bubonic Plague outbreak while she was training to be a nurse. (And now she's a plague doctor)
Pets: Cirque the bovine drake, she is slightly shorter than a cow and has a pair of curling ram horns and a horn ring on one, she has six stocky limbs and a long tail with a skin flap that acts like a cape (the cape reaches from her back to the tip of her tail)
Usual clothing: Rebel usually wears a simple misty blue hoodie and dark grey pants, as well as a pair of black leather boots. She almost always wears a mask of some sort, unless she's eating or drinking. She doesn't like people seeing her face.
Clothing for act: Of course, to play the part as a 'mystical bovine tamer' she wears full-fledged plague doctor garments, except instead of black, she wears a muted grey with a fog-colored turquoise cloak. (because she's happy and wants to show it)
Appearance: Rebel is a slim, skinny girl with pale white skin. Her face is covered in various scars, the brunt of them is a large burn scar going from one side of her head to her collarbone. This is why she refuses to show her face often. She has extremely bright, aqua blue eyes with a darker ring of grey-blue around the edges of her iris (radial heterochromia). She also has two small raven wings sprouting from her back, and a covering of feathers that stretches down the length of her spine and shoulders. But her wings are extremely small and useless for flight. She shows them off when she does her act.

Name: Jamie Blackwell
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Pansexual
Personality: Jamie is cold-hearted, emotionally closed off and when he does talk to people he can come off as rude and hateful. During his acts, he plays the role of someone rather happy, bouncy, and all-around optimistic. Jamie is heavily introverted and after each show, he prefers to be by himself and left alone for at least an hour. Jamie also gets very defensive about his life outside of the circus and before the circus.
Act: Knife Throwing
Why they joined: Rather Not Say
Pets: (if any) None
Usual Clothing: White Tee, Black Leather Jacket, Ripped Black Jeans, Spiked Black Leather Boots, Black Open Finger Gloves
Clothing for act: A Pink Tee, Black Shorts, Black Sneakers, Pink and Black Fingerless gloves, Black Beanie.
Appearance: Jamie has dyed Pastel Pink hair with a white fade, a singular black streak on the right side. He has 2 pricing on both ears near the top and gauges about an inch big. He has blue eyes but normally has pink contacts in.
