Well, snake charmer is one of the things on the list... if that's what you mean.
I did add snakes though. (Because Captains and Vice Captains ((and Maybe crew... idk.)) can edit EVERYONE'S posts... Don't worry, I only edit things if I really have to.. lol)

Just so you know, you aren't limited to those on the list. They are just suggestions. biggrin

(I know, i'm a cappie myself for a few guilds, i only edit when i absolutely have to)

I can't even think up that many things for a circus, the suggestions on here are great. It must be great to have such hard working people in your guild. I have a circus guild to, but its very very new so i have no members yet. But it's not a acadamy, its just a regular one. Only thing it does with learning is training. I'm not trying copy, i assure you, but i'm such a lover for the circus i couldn't help myself. But i really do admire your guild and i hope one day mine can be as good as yours.

Oh you do~? That's cool.

I'm glad you like this guild! I made this guild a LOOONNG time ago. (By that, I mean back in April...) It was just a blank, hidden guild for a really long time. Then I decided to finally make it into something... Some how I came up with circus... 3nodding

Good Luck with your guild~!

If I may ask, in this what is human puppetry? Is it where you control puppets that look exactly like humans, or do you make humans into puppets? I would like to make a character that does puppetry.

It'd be making a human a puppet.

Sure! 3nodding
Don't limit yourself to what's on that list. You can be whatever you want as long as its circus related. smile

(But, if your making a teacher, then ask me or another crew member first....)

I was making another character (Makoto is fine, but Chrome is unsatisfying.), and I was gonna give him a lame job.
Like... I dunno, ticket handler would be an example.
Anyways, what I'm getting at is, would he still go to classes? I don't plan on him actually being a major part of the circus any time soon (if at all), so I wasn't sure...

Yeah! I mean, it's a school... There's still history, math, science, etc., etc., so, go ahead!

Lol, alright. He probably won't take too many of the circus classes though, maybe one if any.
