Nickname: Kassy, Chauncey, Ace, the Keeper of the Secrets (read bio)
Occupation/Role in the Circus: Puppeteer and fill-in ringleader.
Age: "Sweetheart, I've been alive for longer than I can remember."
Species: "It's a long story..."(See the "Other" section.)
Sexuality: "Does it really matter, love?"
Date of Birth: "What's the point in remembering that ol' thing?"
Height/Weight: 5'6" and 125 lbs
Gender: "Okay, look, I know I look feminine and all. But that doesn't mean that it isn't obvious that I'm male."
Personality: Kasper, to put it in the simplest why possible, a very blunt person. He tends to be a bit of a flirt... no matter who he's talking to. He is very spontaneous and loves to have a good "chat". It doesn't take him too long to get used to a person, but it does take him a long time to fully trust them. However, if you do so happen to offend him in anyway, he will be very cruel and rude to you. But, his intention are--usually--good and he will always try to give you the benefit of the doubt. He can be very lazy and uncaring.
Kasper does, however, have a certain... madness to him. He does have a tendency to go insane, and may even end up mindlessly hurting someone. "When you know just about as much as I do, you can think yourself into insanity. ... Which is way I try not to over think things."
"Just don't ask me too many questions... Just because I know the answers, doesn't mean that I'll tell you them."
Likes/Dislikes:
✓ Music ✓ People who don't judge him for who he is ✓ Spicy things ✓ Showing-off ✓ Playing Cards ✓ Having fun. (Because who doesn't?) ✓ "Coffee!" ✓ "I don't mind a couple of alcoholic drinks every so-often... My age does surpass any drinking-age restriction, after all." ✓ Not having to over-think things
✗ Being asked questions ✗ Basements ✗ Threats ✗ His insanity ✗ Being Alone ✗ Silence ✗ People taking advantage of him ✗ Having nothing to do ✗ "Meat... I'm a Vegetarian."
Biography: Kasper was born, many many years ago. He can't seem to remember where and when, but knows it was a long time ago. His life has been a constant struggle of questions with no real answers about himself. "Confused? Allow me to explain."
"You see, when I was younger... I died. I know, I know, it sounds weird. I'm not a zombie, I'm not a vampire, just... stay with me here, 'kay? I don't remember how I died... but I did die... I woke up, only to find that I didn't remember anything about myself other than a couple simple, small details. But, I did remember a lot about other things. About other people, people I didn't know or hadn't ever met before... At least... I don't think I did. I woke up knowing all of their secrets and their memories. No, I'm not some fortune teller! Would you stop asking me so many questions?!"
"Right, so I woke up with all of this "knowledge" in this really creepy Shrine. There were a couple people there, I lived there, with them for a little while; they called me the "Keeper of the Secrets" and, I guess you could say worshiped me like I was some god. I didn't know what they were talking about, or why they had decided I was special. It was a very... odd experience. Eventually, I decided to ask them about it. A woman explained to me that I was a "Keeper of the Secrets". She told me that a "Keeper of the Secrets" is basically someone who possesses centuries of knowledge that would normally be lost over time. That we "Keepers" are supposed to pass on the information that most civilizations have forgotten or have labeled as folklore. That we're the living catalogues of 'the unspoken truth'"
"But frankly, I don't know that many secrets. I only know the ones of a couple "Keepers"... that, and couple ones about folklore, fiction, and the ones I have learned from experience. I would know more, except I kind of lost most of my memories from hitting my head too hard one day. But, that's another story."
So, after he found that out, Kasper decided to lock himself away. He didn't want any of the "secrets" to fall into the wrong hands. He remained in a basement, refusing to see the sunlight. He discovered a new hobby, making puppets. He made billions of puppets, not really knowing what to do with them. His little marionettes were some of his best ones. However, all of those puppets burned down with the shrine he lived in. He managed to escape from the burning shrine. People blamed him for it burning down, even though he had nothing to do with it. So, he was sent to the streets, deciding that his best way to make some money was to continue making marionettes and selling them. A few of them he kept for himself, but many of them were sold and given away. Kasper eventually found himself at this Circus Academy, deciding to join since he would be among his fellow "freaks". "But I don't think that there is anyone as freaky as I am."
Talents/Abilities:
Secrets: Since he is a "Keeper of the Secrets", he knows many things. However, he only knows things about a few historical figures and folklore or fiction. So, he can't give you answers to questions like: "Who will I be married to?" or "How will I die?". A majority of what he knows is about folklore. He can answer most, but not all, theoretical questions. If he over thinks something, Kasper will get HUGE headache. A migraine, basically. If he ignores that pain for long enough, he will end up fainting.
Puppetry: The ability to control puppets. Kasper has discovered that he can, somehow, control puppets without their strings. He isn't quite sure how he does it, he just does. The amount of time he can continue controlling the puppet depends on its size. (The smaller, the longer. The bigger, the shorter.)
Shadow Manipulation: Kasper is able to control and create shadows. He can also turn himself into shadow, making him look like a man-less shadow on a surface. However, this tends to take up a lot of energy. So, Kasper doesn't use the ability often.
Other:-Kasper "never" over-drinks.... He knows his limit! (By never I mean sometimes, there are those rare times when he does... He gets a little crazy.) -There are other "Keepers of Secrets" out there, he just doesn't know who they are. -He remembers nothing of his own childhood. -Kasper often gets headaches from thinking too much. He's afraid that he may end up thinking himself to death. -Kasper sometimes gets flashbacks, which can also give him a headache. -His insanity is caused by him knowing too much and also by the fact that he locked himself in a basement for roughly four years with no one to talk to. -Kasper likes to keep himself busy, so that he doesn't have time to think about what he knows and doesn't. -He carries around a deck of cards with him everywhere.
-Nobody is sure what Kasper is exactly (by that, I mean his race/species) they think he could be demon because of his insanity, but doesn't have many qualities of a demon. He is often mistaken as a Vampire due to his extremely pale skin, but he doesn't have fangs. Others think he could just be an immortal human, meaning he cannot die of old age or ever grow old. Though, if someone stabbed him or shot him, he would die.
I don't normally give my characters theme songs, but I feel like he needs one: [x]
Nickname: Patches, Patchy, Valentine (because of his birthday...), Rags (given to him by Melina Lyon)
Occupation/Role in the Circus: Human puppet/Doll
Age: 15
Species: "I'm a human Rag-doll..."
Sexuality: "I like anyone who doesn't try to rip me apart and take out my stitching...."
Date of Birth: "February 14th..."
Height/Weight: 5'4", 105 Ibs
Gender: "Do Dolls have genders?" Male, as far as he's concerned
Personality: Patches is a very kind soul. He doesn't want to do anything to hurt anyone and will always be there for his friends. He gets easily scared, especially whenever someone threatens to take out his stitches... Dolls don't like to be ripped apart. There are times, however, when he can start to get a little crazy... That's basically whenever someone steals his precious teddy bear. He'll throw a tantrum, like a small child would.
Likes/Dislikes:
✓ Sewing ✓ Nice people ✓ Colorful things ✓ His teddy bear ✓ Reading a good book ✓ Tea ✓ Cats
✗ Sharp Objects (Except for needles) ✗ Dogs "They always try to rip me apart..." ✗ Threats ✗ When people steal his teddy bear ✗ "No! Not fire!" ✗ Mean people ✗ "Heights have never really been my thing..."
Biography: "When I was first made, I was meant to be some kind of guardian for a warlock that I never actually met. I was his seventh attempt. Which is why my name is Seven. Apparently, his plan didn't work, something went wrong with the charm that was casted, and he ended up just giving me to his young daughter to play with. She was a sweet girl, but she grew tired of me and ended up throwing me away. I was only half alive when all of this happened; Conscious of everything going on, but not being able to speak or breathe. After a year or two, she began to play with me again, casting odd spells on me for practice... One of them brought me fully to life and I was able to act like a human... Only... I was still made of cloth and stuffing... Like I am now..."
The girl grew tired of him again, now older and ready to get rid of her toys. She, knowing that he was practically a human now, set up a place for him to live on his own. Seven did so for years. Eventually, he wound up at a Circus Academy...
Talents/Abilities: Body of a Doll- Due to the fact that Patches is indeed a doll, his skin is fabric and instead of muscles, he has stuffing. He also has obvious stitches all over him. Exactly like a real doll would.
Shrinkage- Seven can shrink down to be exactly one foot tall.
Object Communication- Yes, due to the fact that he was originally a normal doll, Seven can talk to and understand other inanimate objects.
Other:-He has a thing for needles... -He carries a teddy bear with him everywhere named Franklin.

Name: Percius Aster Galileo
Nickname: Percy
Occupation/Role in the Circus: Stagehand and Illusionist in training
Age: "My age? Oh... well... you see... I'm about 7.2 billion years old but I've been on the earth for eighteen or so years."
Species: Star-person (It's complicated, just read the bio...)
Sexuality: Pansexual
Date of Birth: Unknown, but he tells people that his birthday is January 1st. He thinks that he's been on Earth for eighteen years, but isn't sure.
Height/Weight: 5'11" / 150 lbs
Gender: Male
Personality: Percius is very outgoing and spontaneous. He is really just a guy who loves to have fun and likes to make sure others are having fun as well. However, he tends to be blind to other people's feelings at times especially because he is still learning how to understand the human race. (And the not-so-human races) Percy isn't afraid to speak his mind or do things that most others would find embarrassing. He doesn't quite understand what it means to hurt someone on purpose and doesn't ever intend to hurt anyone. He is very naive and gullible.
Likes/Dislikes: ✓ Being funny ✓ Nice people ✓ Colorful things ✓ Sweets ✓ Flying ✓ Learning about other people ✓ Seeing people happy
✗ Debbie-downers ✗ Making someone cry ✗ Offending someone ✗ Ignorance and Arrogance ✗ Having to sit still for long amounts of time ✗ Mean people ✗ Violence
Biography: Percius was, believe it or not, originally a star. That's right, he was a giant ball of gas in the center of some solar system in a galaxy 12.5 million light years away. He lived that life happily, growing and just being a big ol' ball of gas in the middle of space. There were eleven planets in his solar system: Liobus, Grendel, Ionius, Hefer, Lyonin, Aonus, Widling, Xeres, Rudis, Tysonia, and Kifforus. He was a fairly large star, being much larger than the Sun we have. About six times bigger to be exact. Everything went smoothly there: the planets were thriving; the space around him was clear of any dangers on large scales... Until, that is, there was darkness.
You see, there was a certain type of madness that was known to take over stars in his galaxy. Its cause was unknown but the dangers that came with it were. It was taking stars one by one, Percy even watched his "neighbor" die of the insanity. Here's how the insanity worked: So once the madness has taken affect, it causes the planets to slowly wither away and dry up into absolute nothingness. It is a slow process, but an effective one. After the planets are gone, the star can do one of two things: Wither away into nothing like its planets or shrink into the tiniest of tiny white dwarfs and explode into a Super Nova. The Super Nova, however, wouldn't be an ordinary Super Nova. It would soon be followed by some strange, spontaneous Black Hole that would only suck the energy of the destroyed star and nothing else. Then the black hole would disappear, as though it were magic. Now, Percius tried his hardest to fight off the insanity, he wanted to avoid having to suffer and watch his lovely planets suffer too. However, it go the better of him. Percy watched his planets die and had to die as well.
"So, I hear that no one on Earth knows what's like in a Black Hole. Well, I do. It's strange. Sometimes it's cold, sometimes it's burning hot. Sometimes it's light, sometimes dark. However, it's usually cold and dark. It changes you, being in a Black Hole. It's quiet, eerily quiet. And, yet--at the same time--it's very peaceful. I'm not sure how to explain it, but there's always this odd wind that comes from all different directions. It feels like it could be the vacuum of the Black Hole sucking everything in, but that wouldn't explain why it blows out and to the sides. That's about all I can tell you without confusing you more than I already have--if I already have at all..."
Exactly. So, after Percius had gone through all of that madness, he woke up somewhere. In some mysterious house, on a random couch. He had no clue of where he was or who he was--let alone what his race was. However, there was a young girl that stood by his side, once he awoke she smiled at him and said: "Oh hi! You're awake! You've been asleep for about two days, y'know. We found you outside in the forrest. You were out cold! ..." That's all he could remember her saying, because--at that point-- he had stopped listening to her rambling. Later on, he found that he had strange markings on what seemed to be his body. Those markings were under his eyes, on his hands, on his legs, on his chest and back; everywhere. They had a bluish-greenish tint, like bruises. Except, they were obviously not bruises. They seemed more like tattoos. To this day, Percius still has no clue what they are exactly, but he assumes that they just the markings of his race.
So, years went by after that incident. Percius enrolled in a school, lived by himself. He was one of the few outcasts of that school, along with two or three others. (They never really got along all that well anyways) Percius just continued on through life: good grades, not-so-great social life, but that wasn't important to him at the time. Then he heard about a circus academy and decided that it would be best to go there instead.
Talents/Abilities: Stellar Manipulation: The ability to generate and control the energy and plasma produced by normal stars. ~~+Stardust manipulation: The ability to control and manipulate remnants of a dead star. The stellar energy that Percy manipulates is a combination of his own stellar energy and that of the other stars of the universe. Because this requires using a lot of his own energy, he doesn't use this ability too often. (Except for the stardust part, that doesn't require any energy)
Dimensional Manipulation: The ability to generate and control dimensional energy. The user can teleport, change their dimensions, and even create portals. He can also "tesser" through time and space. "Tessering" is, basically, traveling through the fifth dimension. For info on that click the spoiler:
Terreract is a term that describes the "wrinkling" of time and space, allowing two points to be connected through this fifth dimension rather than forcing you to travel on a straight line. For example, if you take points A and B and connect them with a piece of string, the shortest route would be to walk along the straight piece of string. But in tessering, you could wrinkle the string, or fold it upon itself, so that points A and B would be right next to each other, allowing you to just walk across.
Percy doesn't normally mess with the dimensional stuff... Too many risks. (e.g.: can create holes in fabric of space and time, time-paradoxes, etc.,)
Flight: The ability to fly. (duh) When Percy flies, there is a small trail of stardust behind him. Almost making it look like fairy dust. Sometimes it disappears after it leaves him, sometimes it doesn't...
(New, acquired ability)Astral Energy Manipulation: Percy can manipulate psychic energy to a certain extent. He only uses it for his tricks and pairs it with stellar energy. It is what helps him fly and teleport. With it, he could easily use telekinesis and telepathy but he isn't aware of how it's done, hence he does not do it at all. He only knows how to manipulate it for the tricks he does for his acts.
Other:He's a little bit OCD with a few things; minor things. (His hair has to be a certain way, he absolutely hates it when people mess with his hair...) Percy is also very quirky in general, he has a few odd habits. As mentioned above, he can be blind to other people's feelings sometimes and doesn't entirely understand human-behavior. (Especially girls, he really doesn't understand how their minds work...) He's also got Atychiphobia (the fear of failure). Percy is also terrified of blackholes and messing with the space-time continuum.
OH MY GOD PERCYYYY! Yes, accepted. I don't even have to read, accepted. *Goes back and actually reads* Yeah, he looks fine to me.
Awesome, thanks! You should put Karter here~ It'd be funny if it was just like a chance meeting.
Ooh, that would be fun~ Besides, Karter is dying, and I don't want her to emo Edit: I finished her profile, if you want to check it. :3

Name: Anna Rosethorn
Nickname: "I have none... Nor I do wish to have any."
Occupation/Role in the Circus: Archer
Age: 500 (Human equivalent would be 15)
Species: Elf
Sexuality: "I do not intend to have any sort of relationship such as that with anyone."
Date of Birth: March 28, 1514
Height/Weight: 5'8"/120
Gender: "Does my form not make this clear to you?"
Personality: Anna is, on first encounter, very serious and formal. She hardly shows any true emotions. She can be quite spoiled at times, since that was just how she was raised. Though Anna does seem very cold around everyone, she has a select group of people she cares deeply about, though she may not show it. It may take a little while for her to show any signs of caring at all, but it does happen eventually. When she has warmed up to a person, she will become more casual with them.
Likes/Dislikes:
✓ "I do enjoy reading from time to time." ✓ "Carving and crafting tools and objects. I like to fiddle around with things." ✓ Music ✓ Tea ✓ Nature ✓ Sweet things (especially fruit) ✓ Enhancing her skills in archery ✓ Animals ✓ Courteous and polite people
✗ Debauchery of any sort ✗ Ill-mannered imbeciles ✗ "Unfairness will not be tolerated by me." ✗ "Do not even bother to speak to me if you intend to flirt." ✗ "One must learn to appreciate silence rather than speaking constantly. I require such silence." ✗ Trash ✗ Inconsiderate jerks ✗ Cigarettes ✗ Videogames
Biography: Anna was born into a family of high elves. Her family as extremely rich and she got just about everything she wanted. Unlike her twin sister, Nessa (please contact Nerdy Oatmeal if you wanna play Nessa!), she liked to read and sit inside quietly. Her father required both her and her siblings to take up a form of self defense; Anna chose archery mainly because it was traditionally practiced by elves - she read it somewhere. Anna started young, at age twenty - young for an elf, most certainly - and practiced nearly everyday. Now, because of that, she is able to shoot and directly hit her target while blindfolded and hanging upside down... No big deal, right?
While traveling, her family went to see the circus one day. After the first performance, Anna grew to love the circus and the idea of performing. When they went home, she decided to come up with her own tricks and stunts. Later on, she showed her parents these tricks and - after begging and pleading - they allowed Anna to go to a circus school to enhance her skills in performing.
Talents/Abilities: Enhanced Reflexes: Anna has extraordinary balancing capabilities due to her elvish heritage. Her balance and her dexterity are inhumanly excellent. Her physical strength, however, isn't too great.
Nature Connection: Anna is very connected to nature since she spends most of her time outdoors and in the woods. She can speak to animals and understand plants.
Healing: Anna knows a ton about elvish medicine and healing herbs. She can mix up something that can cure just about anything from the smallest stomach ache to a huge migraine. However, she can't bring someone back to life. (It's like a nurse, guys. Nurses can't bring people from the dead.)
Herbology: Anna knows a great deal about herbs. She can concoct various potions with major and minor effects. Of course, anything major she would make sure it was temporary or had a reverse potion - most likely already made - before ever trying anything out on anyone.
Other: - She finds humans fascinating for some strange reason. - She's secretly afraid of the dark. - In truth, she will occasionally secretly wish for a romantic relationship of any kind with anyone... She can normally suppress that feeling and return to being the unemotional brick she normally is.
Bumping this so maybe someone will notice that I made a character '-_- (Why did I make that rule that even my profiles need to be approved... *sigh*)

Lol, you're fine! I sometimes miss profiles too... It's okay~
Name: Chloe Vandel Age: (Ageless) Personality: To put it into one word: sadistic. Chloe is, in a nut shell, a total basket case. She likes to 'play games' and is a very sore loser. If she doesn't win, she will have her revenge. And her revenge is a wrath that no one wants to face. She likes to be on top of it all--the puppet-master, if you will. She addresses everyone with a formal attitude. It's not very hard to get on her bad side... but it's quite the challenge to get on her good side.
Brief biography: She was born into poverty but managed to scrape up all she could get. While on the streets, Chloe learned from the various 'skilled' people of the city streets and developed a way of dark arts. It was more or less her own invention and she shaped it to her liking. She taught herself how to move the most basic elements, darkness and light, using special techniques that increased the strength of her abilities. Her mother forbade her to ever practice such a thing but Chloe still practiced in secret. She taught it to her younger sister. When they got older, Chloe and her family had, by some miracle, gotten out of debt.
Chloe moved out of the house, with her sister, years after they'd gotten out of debt. A year after they moved out, their mother died. Chloe and her sister then decided to form a clan so that they could show others how to do this as well. They formed the clan within a year however, her sister fell ill. Within that same month, she died of illness. Filled with despair, Chloe went mad. Her dearest friend was now gone. There were two young twin girls whom she had taken in as a part of the clan. They were she next closest people to her and her, now deceased, sister. Chloe taught them everything they could possibly learn and wanted them to take her own place if she were to pass away. One day, after Chloe telling them of her wishes, the twins refused. They wanted to be with a kinder family that took great care of them rather than being mistreated and forced to learn such an 'art'. Chloe, angry at the two of them, fulfilled their wants and let them go. Before letting them leave, she wiped their memories clean of any information she had let them have. The two six year olds were sent off to the streets to find a new home.
Since then, Chloe has been wanting her revenge on the two girls. She swore that she would forever haunt them and that she would kill them. She has had people go under cover to their apparent 'Circus School' and discovered that their 'powers' were weakened. Her plan will be put into action on the anniversary of their leaving.
Any special abilities?: Controlling light and shadows. Telepathy. Telekinesis.
Other: She's pretty handy with a gun. She's got an odd obsession with sparkly things.

Hey, can you look over this for me and tell me if she's alright?
Lol, I tried to make her bio short... It's become an impossible thing for me to do. xD
