I know this should be in the Herald sub-forum but this is my half-arsed way of getting traffic into the main forum.
I've been battling myself for a few days(weeks) about an idea. I want to write a proper fanfiction for the Cirque du Gothique. I've written little blurbs and one shots about Loyal, I love that imbécile, but nothing major. Now I really want to write about the entire troupe and their insanity. This is all thanks to Arcana Break. It's just sort of brought back that idea I had.
But what, you may ask, stopped me from writing it in the first place?
Besides college, naming people. I wanted an entire circus and I am bloody terrible at naming things circus-y.
As such, I would like your help. Please? Could help me name a few of the remaining characters that I have planned for the fic? These characters are either canon or inspired by the items that came with the CI Cirque du Gothique.
Named/Canon The Ringmaster – Monsieur Loyal The Freak Show – Cordis the Inside Out Boy The Clown – Buttons the Pierrot The Acrobats – Genevieve and Lorraine The Cat Circus – Colonel Praline Pepperpot The Puppeteer – Baalim and his puppet Eve The Firebreather – Fiammetta The Illusionist – Ecartè the Great Magician The Daredevil – Gunpowder The Tiger Tamer – Valda the Marvelous
Named/OC Tight Rope Walker – Catalina the Highwire Belladonna Make-up Artist - Allessandra the Maquillage Seamstress - Adel la Sanguine
Unnamed/OC Sword Eater – _____________the Cutlass Mime – __________ Le Saltimbanque Strongman – _________The Mighty Juggler – Jester – ___________ the Harlequin The Fortune Teller/Madame Gypsy - Madame Gypsy is probably my most important OC. I've given her a hundred different names until now and I feel none of them match. I do like Velvetine, but she's too young (and new) for the role I have planned for the Fortuneteller. Velvetine may appear later in my fic.
Possible OC? Not Entirely Necessary The Caretaker – The Concierge – The Food vendor – The Game attendant - ???
Please feel free to add to any of these sections and suggest names and epithets to people I've already named. (And maybe I can add someone's OC/RP plot into the story?) I've had a few chapters written, all incomplete. What I would like to do is write at least one chapter concentrated on each different character. All from their act to a bit of their past and their direct interaction with Loyal. And maybe if this gets enough replies and I name all the characters...I can put this into the Heralds sub-forum and post the fic there?
