Welcome to the Amazing Starlit Circus!
In this alternate reality, the characters of the Amazing Digital Circus are real humans, and the circus is a travelling event! Join Pomni and her friends as they travel coast to coast, performing in a day-and-night circus that's truly intended for all ages! But who makes up this wacky menagerie? And... who are YOU?
Caine: The Ringmaster, true and true--Caine had a dream; to make the greatest circus the world had ever seen! Through grit and grime he struggled, inching closer and closer through the school of hard knocks to make this dream a reality--and a reality it became. With his skills as a ringleader and a magician, you're guaranteed to leave the circus with a smile!
Bubble: The pint-sized assistant to Caine, Bubble is a wildcard in a literal small package. Being diagnosed with medical dwarfism and alopecia, they chose to turn their disability into their greatest attribute; acting as "lead circus freak" and Caine's right hand man!
Pomni: The lead clown and star of the show, Pomni is often who people think of when someone talks about the Starlit Circus. Having been mentored by Kaufmo, Pomni is everything the crowds love and more!
Jax: Known for his cocky attitude and gut-punching humor, Jax is known for his late night stand-up comedy routine for the adults in between days; and if there's anything involving explosions, cannons, or cars, he's the man for the job!
Ragatha: The darling heartthrob of the circus, Ragatha is known for her charms and quick wit--even if she's stuck playing the straight man in most of the acts. Behind the scenes, she's the glue that holds the crew together!
Kinger: The oldest member of the circus, Kinger has a clownish role in being the insane yet easily-frightened character in most of the shows. Behind the scenes, he's the brains behind every Starlit Circus show--sequencing computers to command the lights and sounds of the show like a mechanical maestro!
Gangle: It's a bird, it's a plane! No, you juvenile delinquents, it's the high-flying Gangle! Known for her sleek red satin leotard and white mask, Gangle is the most comfortable flying at death-defying heights on the trapeze, or contorting her way out of impossible cage scenarios, Houdini-style!
Zooble: What Zooble lacks in their sense of self-preservation, they more than make up for in their ability to entertain. Juggling screaming chainsaws, swallowing swords to their hilts, even wrestling a bear or taking a cannonball to the ribcage, there's nothing this daredevil won't do!
Ribbit: Jax's significant other, Ribbit is the other half of the high-flying duo of the Starlit Circus--right up in the rafters of the big top with Gangle performing impossible midair feats. On the ground, she's also known to team up with Zooble performing in their dangerous stunts!
Kaufmo: The original clown of the circus, Kaufmo's been busting guts since the dawn of the circus. From the start, and to the end!
Scratch: The goodest boy of the circus, Scratch is a yellow lab with a taste for fun and dog cookies! The only nonhuman here
(And some more characters made specifically for this roleplay...)
Petrie: He's big, he's hairy, he's... not so mean, actually, and he's painfully French; Petrie is the shining beacon of masculinity that is the Starlight Circus' strongman. Dressed in a leopard-print leotard, he is known for being able to lift an entire car over his head like it's nothing!
Rivet: Last, but most certainly not least, is Rivet Coalburn--the railroading chauffer of the Starlit Circus. Driver of the recently-restored Union Pacific #4023 Big Boy into The Starlit Express and the lead mechanic of most circus operations, Rivet is the no-nonsense driving force of the Circus, making sure that events are hosted on time and to schedule. "Like Casey Jones once said, be on time or we're leaving the rails!"
Now, that leads us to you... who are you? Will you be anyone listed above, or are you a new performer at the Circus? How did you come find us? What is your act? Either way... let's get this show on the road!!
