(This RP will contain slight gore and abuse, don't join if this bothers you please! I dont wanna hurt anyone... )



Somehow, you had been picked up by the Ring Leader. The famous Circus, dubbed "Heaven's Ring", was a lot more hellish than it appeared. None of the performers worked there for money, it was all forced labor.
Most of the workers had been picked up as kids, or had been fooled by the Ring Leader to join. Food was a reward, not a necessity.
The ring master was as crazy as they come, and you did NOT want to be a favorite of his. They got the worst of it all.
Some children had been killed in the acts, and they had played it off as a show. This was no children's play area. You either fought to live, or you gave up and starved.

One child had left something before he had been burned alive in the fire show, and it was a plan. A plan to leave, and escape from, this monstrous place. Were you brave enough to dare to attempt to escape?

(The ring leader is a fairly young person, taking over his father's harmless circus. He fools people with his charming and kind appearance)

So, who are you? How did he convince you to join? Or did you decline and he took you anyways? Tell me!

Appearance:

Name:
Ymir Cantrelle
Age:
19
Gender:
Female
Sexuality:
Heterosexual
Personality:
Ymir is seemingly spiteful, and never smiles, except in shoes. But that's an act to show how much she hates being in the circus. She is typically kind to others though, and tries to make the best of their situation. Ymir is also sarcastic and wily, her personality is comparable to a vixen in a lot of ways. She is a feisty thing and she isn't afield to speak her mind to anyone at anytime.
Act:
Assistant to Ring Master/Tightrope Walker
Show Outfit:

Crush:
Open!
Backstory:
Ymir has known the ringmaster for most of her life, as they had been friends when they were children. But, he changed after his father died. He became obsessive over her and she hated it. Over the years she has had no trouble giving him a piece of her mind, because she's his soft spot, although he still abuses her if she goes a little too far. She often uses her relationship and standing to get him to leave the children alone, but sometimes it doesn't work. Ymir wears heavy amounts of make up to hide the long scar across her face from when he struck her with a hand mirror. It was because he was jealous of her talking to other men, and he cruelly said "Now no one will love you for that scar on your face, but don't worry my lovely Ymir, I think you are beautiful inside and out."
Ymir personally took in Aftyn, since he was young at the time. She'll sacrifice life and limb for him.
Strengths:
Manipulative to the right people, witty, smart
Weaknesses/Fears:
Soft spot for kids, short tempered, she does fear the ring master, but she still loves him deep down
Disposable or Non-Disposable?:
Non-Disposable
Other:
N/A

Appearance:

Name:
Aftyn Taylor
Age:
14
Gender:
Male
Sexuality:
Bisexual
Personality:
Aftyn is a loose cannon and a free spirit. He could be called insane at times, but he tried to appear that way to defend himself since he feels insecure. In short, he cares more than he says, knows more than he leads on, and hurts more than he shows. He loves thrills though, and that's the one truth he has never lied about. That's why, being in the circus isn't the worst possible thing to him. Aftyn is also very easily flustered and embarrassed. His nature is generally kind.
Act:
Dark Magic & Anything that gives him an adrenaline rush
Show Outfit:

Crush?:
Open!
Backstory:
Aftyn joined due to having a rough life before the circus. His parents were abusive, so he ran away at ten years old. He wandered into the circus to never come back out. He has horrid scars along his back for attempting to run away multiple times. He eventually stopped trying after Ymir "took him in". Top build a wall, he became careless and an adrenaline junkie. It was his way to cope with abuse and his way "out" of his life.
Since he was a favorite of Ymir's, the ringmaster sadly got jealous of her attention towards him. He was mentally and psychologically tortured, as well as physically abused. He is utterly and completely terrified of him.
Strengths:
Aftyn is flexible and strong, he is also fearless (typically), and very crafty. He can be a great actor provided that he is needed to act. He has a sharp tongue and also has a way with words.
Weaknesses/Fears:
His parents are a fear of his, as well as the ringmaster. He freezes up when he is scared, and he can have flashbacks. Aftyn has asthma, so he can't run for long distances or over exert himself.
Disposable or Non-Disposable?:
Non Disposable
Other:
His natural hair color is a reddish-brown, while his eyes are a pastel blue.
Aftyn is sweet and gentle to any children in the circus

Male

Homosexual
Personality:
Vinn claims to be mute, but he isn't. He just would rather be silent than speak and get in trouble. He is actually very hateful of the ring master, but he acts as if he is indifferent to him. He can be cold, and his actions speak louder than his voice ever could. If he hates you, you'll know it without him saying it. Whether it be a smirk as he orders his snakes to nip at you, or a glare in the ring, you'll know.
