People often saw working in a circus as a lower class job. After all, freakshows like it were low entertainment. But Jax lived for it. His magic shows were legendary. The arts of deception and illusions were hard to do succesfully, but he was a master. ever since birth, he's worked in Magnus Light's circus. Magnus had started the show decades ago, and created a home for people society deemed less then. People with dwarfism, people deemed ugly, or people of color for example. Jax fell into the people of color category, being black. It was a dark reality that people saw him and his family as lesser than because of his skin color, but people couldn't deny the show became the most succesful it's ever been when Jax grew up and started participating. As the son of famed magiscian Keal Coin, Jax became even better once he grew up. now at 24, he was the main attraction of the circus. People from far and wide came to see his shows.

you, on the other hand, were a noble, destined to be married off to some douche. But you dreamed of a bigger life, the life you read about and saw portrait in paintings. A life of adventure and love. But alas, your life was as dull as they come, even though your family posessed great wealth.

6th of september 1862. 8 pm. The circus tent.

your mother might not like the idea of you attending a show as low as a freakshow, but your curiosity couldn't be held captive. The stories you've heard of this place, like trapeze artists, jesters, acrobats, magiscians, lions and elephants. It sounded so intrueging. So, you secretly snuck out to go to the show.
