Herd: The Traveling Reenactment faire

About
Yilmaz is a jovial and fun loving individual who is an active and prolific member of the Reenactment Troupe: He works with a team to do choreographed fights where he's the champion, challenges the audience for someone to try and defeat him, has a plant that he defeats in the most comedic way they can, and then he challenges a child directly and is defeated by them all in the most hammiest ways possible.

He also enters the tournaments: being a steed for a Jousting Raccoon/River otter team member working in tandum with them, ring catching with his horn or with a team member, padded fights (like with boffer weapons), races, etc.

He also assists the main show's continuing story line, where he has two characters: a minor villain early in the series and the 'big bad' demonic monster summoned at the end of the series.

He's an actual warrior, from generations of warriors, but... You don't always need to actually REALLY fight so for living he usually is an entertainer. Besides -- real battle is messy and dirty and violent and brings pain and sorrow to at least SOMEONE (especially since "The Great Lapsang War" his great great great great grandparents fought in was a civil war over two brothers fighting over who ends up actually ruling so it was people who you had been friends with, sometimes even family, fighting over the ideals of the brother they agreed with most), while this sort of thing is fun, entertaining, and brings joy to people.. And keeps you fit and practiced for if something actually happens that needs a hero to step in.

He enjoys telling tales and rallying the crowd, and on his down time, he likes enjoys little more than trying on different costumes, enjoying cups of tea, and scouting out the next location for the faire to travel to.


Additional information
• Collects Tea sets and teas, as well as costume pieces and weapons (real due to his warrior heritage and training, and "Boffer" style for the LARPs and stunt shows he enjoys).
• Purchased a wagon that opens up on the sides to show off its storage space specifically for his collections and costumes and, when scouting, one of his companions, a Bison, pulls it instead of him since it does have not only comforts but valuable things for the faires)
• His Sumi-E illusionary mutation is of the "aura" variety, causing things in contact with him to develop the same outlines. This makes it easier for him to get matching accessories.
• His inner mouth glows orange with a yellowish tongue, but he cant breath orange glowing fog from it like he can his nostrals. The colors remain the same day glow color even when not glowing. Tears Glow bright cyan for about a minute and spit glows a few seconds after being removed from his person, though both remain glowing as long as they remain touching and wet, fading as they dehydrate.
• Absolutely adores costumes and pagentry, and has several regular characters.
○○○ Duman the Undefeated: his stunt show as the champion/wandering character
○○○ Kasumi of the Mists: the main tournament/wandering character
○○○ Druet the Destroyer: Minor Villain of the main show, early on in the week.
○○○ The Nightmare: The main show as the Big Baddy Monster that turns on him and rampages to be finally defeated by "Govad Knight of the Wind" (Lunadriel's Londyn)
Nightmare Costume


The Nightmare costume is his most elaborate costume, as its the big bad of the main storyline that goes on throughout the running of the fair, and is an a rather elaborate puppet worn to create an unnatural looking demonic creature of shadows with a tall face dominated by a massive mouth, his glowing nostrils acting as eyes during the fire and mirror lit show. Inside the mouth of the puppet is a perch for a few bird familiars the color of fire with long flowing tails, that they tuck into a bag on the inside to act as fireballs, the 'special effects' actors either colored naturally or with reflective dyes, while a Raccoon puppeteer has themselves strapped onto the back to control the mouth, and when defeated tosses out Bright green 'toxic' ribbons of 'blood' for the unnatural seeming monster's defeat.
Due to his Sumi-E Aura, the entire costume looks as if it is part of him, the thin fabric looking as if they are just as much made out of shadows as his wings and hair.

Herd: The Traveling Reenactment faire (Originally the Badieh Badawie

About
In the faire, one of the smaller members of their troupe is one of the most enigmatic: La Bruja Blanca, the White witch. She was a member of the Badieh Badawie culture, stationed with a cave on the eastern mountains near the edge of the canyon selling her services and wares with her familiar companions, though too many feared the witch to even try except in the most dire of circumstances, or to attempt to get her to curse their neighbor, which she insisted she did not do.

The Faire however, just starting to leave the lands once all they could access and preparing to host their first faire beyond what had once been a great ice wall, asked more when she offered her services during the volunteer portion of the preparations, trying to find a place to set up and local allies to help them with their venture, and readily accepted her services at the faire.

When everything was over and the faire packed up, she at first gathered her things and began to head back toward her cave, both happy for the experience and saddened to return to her solitude -- only those of the Faire had purchased her wares, the locals still too frightened of her appearance to believe her spells and charms were a form of blessing rather than a hidden curse.. When offered the chance to go with them, the small mare and her few friends jumped on the opportunity to take their curandera on the road, and packed up everything they had and left with the faire.

Beyond her home and the rumors that surrounded her, her frightful looks became an attraction, bringing soquili and familiars alike to her tent to buy her charms and wards and pay for her and her curandera's services, and her reputation as being La Bruja Blanca, the lifter of curses and savoir of unlucky, became well spoken of in the faire.

Additional information
• Only shares her true name, Aldonza, with her closest friends. Those who learn it by accident do not get a response if they use it prematurely, other than perhaps a furrowed brow and a slight but stern frown with a flash of the light in her eye.
• It is however requested of her closest friends that they only use her name in privacy, and to call her "La Bruja Blanca", "La Bruja", or simply "Blanca" in public. Because of this, this is the name she goes by most.
• Her bells are hidden by the roses.

Herd: The Traveling Reenactment faire/Dream Walk Village

About Hailing from the Familiar built Dreamwalk Village, Banded Rose lived a fairly simple life working with his families little tea farm and trying to sell to passing herd and serving tea at the local tavern, trying to support his family.

Then, the charming young Raccoon's village encountered a troupe or reenactors who camped nearby and visited to get a guide to the main lands, Many of their previous guides having never been as far as they were from the desert foothills, and sampled his families tea. Pleased with his quick charm and sharp mind, as well as the quality of their families tea, they offered him a position as a merchant -- not only could he sell his families tea, but his knowledge of tea would make him just the person they needed to actually sell the tea that other merchants wished to have sold, suggesting he make himself a name and join them.

Jumping on the opportunity, he quickly became one of the head merchants for tea, as well as teacher of how to properly brew tea.

Additional information
• sells loose leaf tea, bags of tea he's made himself, teapots, and teacups/teabowls from around the Kawani lands. One of the main supplies to the tea cafe's and tea parties
• Not only sells his own blends and tea grown and dried on his families farm, but also acts as the salesman for various other tea producers

Herd: The Traveling Reenactment faire/Dream Walk Village

About

Born in Dreamwalk Village, Can't see the Forest was born to mother and father, Singing Tree and The Water Dances, a leatherworker and a seamster, and raised learning both of her parents trades in their den as soon as she could safely handle a needle and thread. They Ran a cozy little shop attached to their den, selling accessories and clothing, usually to other familiars though sometimes to soquili that heard of their wares along with her other siblings.

When the Traveling Reenactment Faire arrived for supplies and to recruit merchants and tradesmen for their venture into the main territories to the south west, as well as to marvel at the wagons created by some of the local carpenters and place orders for them to be made and delivered, Forest jumped at the opportunity to join them and make her own way and fortune, as well as see the world along with her mate Can't See the Trees after the pair discussed the possibility -- They needed a Carpenter, and for a faire with both customers and costumes in need, they'd both be able to make their mark and a name for themselves, and help their families at the same time.

With that, she gathered her belongings and some of her premade work and fabrics, as well as gifts from her family to help her start her journey, and ventured down with the faire along and made her way to the mainlands.

Now that the fair is more settled, during fairs she sells premade accessories and clothes, as well as her mate's Wheeled Storage Chests and wood carvings, from a tent in the fair, doing fittings, alterations, and taking custom orders to be delivered after the fair. Fabric and Leather masks, Goggles, Arm Warmers, scarves, blankets, pillows, and even soft and leather toys are sold from her booth.

Additional information
• Seamstress
• Isn't a weaver herself, though she can knit and crochette, as well as dye fabrics
• Loves working with Leather as it proves a challenge while still being good for sculptural building and holds designs well
• Also sells plushies and makes custom soft toys.

Herd: The Traveling Reenactment faire/Dream Walk Village

About

For the Trees is a skilled carpenter, having learned his trade from The Forest Whispers, his Father, from a young age, building anything that came their way -- platforms, dwellings, Chests, walking sticks to aid walking upright, and even on occasion a mode of transporting goods through the paths of the forests brought to them by the words of those who came on 'the big ships, wagons.

When the Traveling faire came to their village in hopes finding more to add to their numbers, find guides, and get repairs done to their travois, they were awed to see 'wheels' and the wagons in his families studio, the herds mostly being from areas either lacking in enough trees for carpentry to be that advanced, or cut off from the outside world and its advancements. They were wealthy, well funded by their homeland and acting as entertainers, and valued good, honest workmanship. It was a golden opportunity.

Knowing how work was slow at the time, Trees and his mate Can't See the Forest joined the troupe. While Forest the seamstress mans a booth and works directly with outsiders coming to the faire, Trees works directly with the faire with his talented woodwork and carpentry, creating sets, fixing and maintaining and even building wagons, chests, and other things to make the fair easier to move around. He often ventures ahead to help clear the land and gather wood, and works hard.

Taking real pride in his work, it always brings him joy to step back and look at the completed build, knowing that he had a hand in creating a good solid base to be turned into magic by the entertainers. He enjoys the challenge of creating sturdy yet easily disassembled and reassembled sets, as well as doing decorative woodwork for signs, wagon sides, chests, and even wooden props.

Additional information
• As a Carpenter, he mostly works on fixing wagons, tools, and rides and constructing and deconstructing sets, but also sometimes does demonstrations and whittling
• His whittle and woodcarving work, plus storage trunks, are sold by his seamstress mate, Can't see the Forest.
• Often shows up early to help clear the trees they need to get rid of and get wood for the carpenters and meat grillers.

About

The child of generations of stained glass and metal workers, Feriah has been working with the dyed and melted sands for as long as she's been old enough to hold the materials, especially fascinated with combining colored glass with lights and flames, often singing sweetly as she worked. As she became a master of stained glass art pieces, mosaics, charms, lanterns, oil lamps, and candle holders, she was offered many places within the lapsang territory to set up her own studio and shop.

However, the mare chose, instead, to join the Traveling Reenactment Faire that had just been founded to venture from their lands and into the new territories opened to them -- A place where she can practice her art for fun to help the fair, as well as gather apprentices from other locations and sell to new people.

Due to her beauty, charm, sweet voice and willingness to help decorate the fair when stained glass is desired, she has been gifted the role of the Desert Queen Tutku Sanem of the Hui Kingdom during the "Kingdoms of Wu Xing" Themed fairs, hosting a sunset tea party, lit with her own stained glass lanterns, oil lamps, and tea light holders

When not acting as queen she works on and sells stained glass lanterns, lamps, and tea light holders and charms and such, though fills in for those who cant perform a Queen or Princess or any royal role and has her apprentices continue working on their own stuff and man their shop while she's gone like the fairs that have the Kingdoms of Wu Xing.

Often times, she shares a series of three shop tents with a lantern maker named Elentari who she befriended when they both joined the fair, not wishing to turn the lantern maker into a rival to her own lanterns, but rather a collaborator and ally, collaborating to decorate the three tents to create a 'gradient', going from Elentari's More metal and stone heavy work towards higher concentrations of glass where the line of their work blurs, into the more glass dominated pieces until it gets to the glass sun catchers, charms, pendants, and art pieces.


Additional information
• Name means "Joyous Woman" in Turkish
• Her Queen name Tutku Sanem means "Desired Perfection"
• Her stained glass studio/shop is called Ece (meaning "The Queen")
• She and her Apprentices and employees give Non-sale Quality/imperfect Nazars (Evil Eye charms) To Hinata the fortune teller in exchange for semi-regular tarot card readings.

About
Prognosis is a collector, of things and experiences, having a fondness for surrounding himself with fascinating trinkets and other people with unusual traits as companions. He's a friendly sort with a somewhat sophisticated air, and enjoys trying new things, often latching onto the newest thing with a great obsession for months, sometimes years on end before trying something new to play with. He adores spending times with artisan troupes of familiars and hippogryphs.

His love of the rare, strange, and unusual had given him a rather large collection, and he eventually found himself at the faire, wondering if he could set up a booth to show it off and trade for other oddities. His collection of sketches of unusual mutations, strange creations, and artifacts from distant or even ancient cultures that he had earned from the locals proved to be of interest to the herd, and he got offered a permanent place to show it, as well as the chance to travel with them showing some of his easier to transport goods or simply having a booth to trade for more oddities and gather more records of interesting but unusual talents.

His Museum of Oddities is often manned by good hearted mutants that usually have difficulty finding acceptance elsewhere due to their appearances, so they can have a place where they will be met with curiosity rather than fear. After all, his grandparents were nice, if a bit odd, individuals that scared many of those who encountered them, why not allow those similar to them enjoy a place where they can be accepted?

About
Kamala was new to the kawanii lands. Her small family rarely left their grove to the outside world. One day, while grazing with her parents, Kamala and her family were attacked by a skinwalker. Her father was killed trying to protect his family. Kamala and her mother ran, trying to escape. With a fatal mis-step, Kamala's mother tripped over a fallen log, breaking her leg. Kamala was ordered to run and never look back... and she did.

And so she searched for somewhere safe... a place where she can belong and have protection. She had never lived out on her own, And wasnt sure of what to do or where to go, going from friendly face to friendly face trying to find a place to fit in. She finally settled in to Dreamwalk village, a familiar built and dominated village, and made do, helping out as she could, too afraid to head through what was known skinwalker territory alone or even with a singular guide.

It was there where the Reenactment herd found her and offered to escort her to the main lands of soquili, since they were heading in there themselves and, as a large group with warriors and able fighters, they'd be able to fend off most walker attacks.

By the time she reached the Kawani lands, she was enthralled by the group and chose to stay with them since, for the first time since her parents death, she not only felt safe but felt at home.


Additional information

• Mostly does Odd Jobs, running messages/supplies within the fair or managing ticket booths at the moment -- she doesn't really know what her calling in the faire is yet

About

Londyn's upbringing before he found the Traveling Reenactment Faire is a mystery. It's not something he has disclosed to anyone. From the way he carries himself, and the little knowledge about day to day living, some guessed that he came from a regal background. When questioned about it though, friends learned it wasn't something he could discuss. The demons of his past were best left alone, locked away wherever he kept them.

Londyn has ancestors connected to the Lapsang warriors, so the Faire seemed like a good place for him to get away from his past. He found the troupe during their second year, and has been traveling with them ever since.

He practices and performs aerial acrobatics. Taking his hobby very seriously, he constantly tries to better his aerial skills.

Additional Info
• Doesn't share his past with anyone, and gets sad and nervous when someone brings it up.
• His smoke smells of warm marshmallows
• Eager to help out where needed, but isn't very good at hard labor
• Londyn and Yilmaz work together to preform The Nightmare: The main show where Yilmaz plays the Nightmare, and Londyn as "Govad Knight of the Wind", who defeats the monster at the end of the show.
