The Plot
The world in 2015 was a perfect realm of peace with gobal warming solved and the war ended. Everyone was happy on the outside, but there were more and more broken households--homewreckers and muggings were on the rise. Adultry was becoming widely accepted and more and more crimes were going unpunished. Many teens ranaway, some took their younger siblings and never looked back. These runaways found each other and formed their own lifestyle, creating gangs and fight clubs until a man sought them out.
He offered them a better life of entertainment to raise the economy of the States and to give them food and housing...clothes to wear and never to be afraid of the dark again. They all agreed and signed the contract to become apart of the Circus. They were outfitted with different jobs and the ones with the strange talents were put on the posters.
World War III broke out; suddenly the world was sent into darkness and people wanted to vent their anger and hate. The common Circus transformed into the Dark Carnival, traveling the United States in search of new runaways. Real Blood was splashed over faces and the longer it went on, the more the dark seemed to drag the young souls down. Once they turned eighteen, they were replaced and put at a state so nobody on the outside would know the truth.
Can you survive the whips and laughter? Make sure you know what you're getting into before you sign your life away in blood.
The Roles
(Amount Needed) - Title - Description
(1) - The Ringmaster - Handles everything from feed to the animals to the times of the shows to the outfits. S/he is straight to business all the time and is rather insane. S/he will never be replaced.
Skills :: If their whip kills something, that something's soul is at His/er command.
(5) - Firebreathers - All male with cocky, bitchy attitudes. Treats everyone else like scum because they're the 'black dragons'. They have secret rituals regarding the new born tiger cubs...or lion cubs...or panda cubs. Any newborn in the Carnival tends to disappear...
Skills :: Can manipulate fire by using the oxygen from their lungs. Eventually the fire will fade as they suffocate.
(5) - Acrobats - All female with royalty like attitudes. Though no relationships are allowed to happen within the cast, they have affires quite often. They giggle and laugh and act like the voices of the Carnvial and act the most human. But behind close doors, who know what happens?
Skills :: Very flexiable; the Sirens of the Carnvial.
(4) (3) - Animal Trainers - Either male or female, these four are beastly, tending to sleep with their charges and think themselves of said animal they work with. Tiger, Lion, Panda or Croc? It's your choice. They tend to make their bodies like their charges.
Skills :: Tuned senses like their animal.
(2) - Cooks - They're very sensitive. One wrong word to them, you may have a nasty spider venom in your drink. Two twins.*
Skills :: They know their venom.
(5) - Clowns - These five, male or female, are always pulling pranks. Watch out for the knife in your bed or the razor in your apple! They tend to poke fun at others and laugh insanely. Their makeup is smeared and their eyes are all blue.
Skills :: Weaponary.
(1) - Motorcyclist - You know the dude who rides on the 'cycle in the ball of metal? He's the silent type. Never showing his face to the audiance because it's hidiously scarred. He likes carving up the cannibals and eating them for their sins. Ouch.
Skills :: Tracking and killing.
(3) - Cannibals - These three ladies are always disappearing to the Cyclist's trailer, coming out without skin and flesh. They only talk in grunts and nonsenseible squeaks. They are very agile and can walk like a spider...if a spider had only four legs.
Skills :: Killing
Total :: 26
*you'll have to play both
If you want to create your own job, that's fine, but these are the few that would be nice to have, no?
