  Off onto the outskirts of town there was a grand circus with a large asian styled two story manor at it's side. There was a large front and back yard as paths led to different tents of various sizes. The largest tent was the main tent towards the front, and side long the tent was smaller ones with different features. Along side the manor were Carts for preformers who lived at the circus but not inside the home.
The home itself was styled like that of the traditional japanese culture, with white walls on the exterior, wooden doors on the outside fashioned like paper doors ( the "paper" part of the doors are painted and can be locked from the inside ), and tradtional rice paper doors on the inside of the manor. With balconies on a select few of the rooms from upstairs, mostly the upstairs sitting room and Camillia's office.
The entire house as wooden floors with certain parts such as the kitchen and shard bath and outhouse having cement floors. Sitting areas and some rooms have tatamari mats ( mats made from rush grass ) covering the floors. The home has a large roof and deep eaves to protect the house from the hot summer sun, and a raised wooden porch that wraps around the entire lower level of the home. ---

Fukitsu( Bad Luck )The number "Four" in Japanese is shi, which also is the Japanese word for Death, for this reason most Japanese try to avoid that sound. It is common in japan that hotels, schools, and hospitals avoid having rooms with the numbers 4, 9, 14, 19, 42, 420, or 43.
Number 9 is pronounced ku in Japanese rhyming with a different word which means pain or worry. Number 42 is pronounced shi-ni meaning to die. Number 420 is shi-ni-rei which means a dead spirit, and number 24 is ni-shi or double death. Especially in the maternity ward, some hospitals refrain from using the number 43, shi-zan, because it means still-birth.
So for these obviously logical reasons, we will refrain from using the number 4, though obviously we can't really avoid most of the other numbers.. so we best at least observe this superstition.
And most likely place good luck charms on those most unfortunate posts.

Personality: Juro is very outspoken and this gets him into quite a bit of trouble. He is very protective of the people he grows to love and will defend them quite fiercly. He has a bit of a temper, but he does a pretty good job of keeping it in check for the most part. Most of the time he's very laid back and has a good sense of humor.
History:Juro was born into a family that was down on it's luck. His Haka mother had just bearly lived through giving birth to him and his twin and never recovered. He now lays bed ridden for the rest of his days, only leaving it when his mate helps him into a wheel chair and pushes him around, something he has grown to love very much. Sadly they had very little money because of her bad health so they all had to live on what little they had. Juro was by far the strongest in the house and quickly grew into a magnifecent fighter and just as graceful and swift in the sky. He learned to use many kinds of weapons, but grew fond of the whip and crop as his afinity with animals grew. Ever sense he was young he had loved animals and even as a child enjoyed training small things like rats and dogs. As he grew in size it seemed the size and danger of the animals he trained and soon breed grew with it. By this point he now even handles things as large and tall as elephants and giraffes and as dangerous as lions and tigers. He has suffered many injuries because of his hobbie and it is quite obvious thanks to the scars that highlight nearly his entire body. His laid back and outspoken nature, along with the fact he couldn't cook, clean, or sew to save his life, rendered him unable to find a mate, or so thought his parents. At the age of 16, back when only had a single scar accross his nose he his mother's body finally gave out. As his dying wish he turned to the family next door and asked that his twins be married to theirs. The families had always been on very friendly turns so, despite the marrige being between a wealthy and poor family, the wedding was arranged. Juro was to marry his childhood friend, Camillia. This was something that pleased him greatly. Camillia and he had been long time friends sense their family lived so close. He had never treated him badly for the way he acted and in turn he had always been there to keep her safe. He also enjoyed the company of Camillia's twin brother, Anemane, and protected him just as viciously. His brother would be married to Anemane, always being the one to fuss about Anemane's health and taking very good care of the sickly Haka because of such. Upon getting married, Camillia and Anemane's family was kind enough to give them a large sum of money to do as they wished. And so they built a grand circus with a manor at it's side. Here Juro breeds, trains, and helps sell animals as well as put on shows with all these wonderful creatures! Now at the age of 22 he has grown into an expert with the animals and rarely gets hurt, helping to run the circus to the best of his abilities despite not being the brightest candle in the world.
Juro types in Darkred.

Room Description:This room was located right next to Camillia's. It had a door that lead into the hallway, one into Camillia's room, and one out the back of the house so that he has direct access to all of the animal cages and pens. The room has a closet where he hangs his clothes, a futon in the corner, a small table with a single chair, and a trunk in another corner where he keeps some of the smaller things he uses to train the animals. The room tends to be rather messy most of the time, though his twin will tend to sneak inside and tidy up a little for him. Though he spends a good amount of his privet time in his room or out with the animals, the rest of the time he is usually found in Camillia's room. In fact he more often sleeps in there then his own futon.

Personality: Jiro is as sweet as they come, always looking out for other people's health and happiness over his own. He is known to be the calm, cool, and collected of the two brothers and often has to take it upon himself to excuse his twin and try vainly to teach him some tact.
History: Jiro was born into a family that was down on it's luck. His Haka mother had just bearly lived through giving birth to him and his twin and never recovered. He now lays bed ridden for the rest of his days, only leaving it when his mate helps him into a wheel chair and pushes him around, something he has grown to love very much. Sadly they had very little money because of his bad health so they all had to live on what little they had. Jiro was the one that took over all the house hold chorse sense taking care of their weak mother was a full time job for his father. He didn't dare ask Juro for help and would always turn down any offer, fearing his twin might burn the house down, sweep the dust under the rug, or somehow sew himself to whatever that was he was trying to make. Jiro was taught to read and write by his mother so he could easily go out and do errands for the family. Besides, she liked being read to and Jiro enjoyed their storytime very much. His mother had once been a great dancer and so he also picked up a liking for the dance, growing quite good. Juro inspired a little risk into his life and he learned to fly as gracfully as his twin, though could never reach his speed nor stamina. Quiet, sweet, pretty, good at chorse... It seemed Jiro was perfect! All but one great detail. He couldn't lift a finger to protect himself, nor any form of hard labor. This left him as an unsuitable mate, or so thought his parents. At the age of 16, his mother's body finally gave out. As his dying wish he turned to the family next door and asked that his twins be married to theirs. The families had always been on very friendly turms so, despite the marrige being between a wealthy and poor family, the wedding was arranged. Jiro was to marry his childhood friend, Anemane. This was something that pleased him greatly. Anemane and he had been long time friends sense their family lived so close. He had always taken very good care of him sense Anemane's health wasn't very good. He also enjoyed the company of Anemane's twin brother, Camillia, and tended to him as well any time he got sick or hurt, not to mention they loved his cooking and the kimonos he'd make for them. His brother would be married to Camillia, always being the one to protect all of them form harms way. Upon getting married, Camillia and Anemane's family was kind enough to give them a large sum of money to do as they wished. And so they built a grand circus with a manor at it's side. Here Jiro dances as well as does his share of acrobatics far above the crowd. Now at the age of 22 he has grown quite intellegent for a Gehaka though some of the more complex learning still is our of his reach. He helps Anemane run the actual sales as well in the circus tending to customers to the best of his abilities.

Room Description: This room was located right next to Anemane's. It had a door that lead into the hallway and one into Anemane's room. The room has a closet where he hangs his clothes, a futon in the corner, a small table with a single chair that he uses to write when he needs to, and a trunk in another corner where he keeps the books he has been allowed to keep for himself along with some games. The room is always kept clean and he will even cross the hall to clean his brother's room when he manages to. Despite as pretty as he tends to keep it, he spends very little time in his room. Most of the time he can be found in Anemane's room sense he must always be at his side so as to better care for him.

9 - Ranzu's Ru-mu & Purofi-ru ( Ranzu's Room & Profile ) A bright room, but completly bare. The one who resides in this room doesn't have many things. He has a closet of clothes, and brushes, ink, and papers stashed away. He's happy with what little he has, but more grateful he doesn't have to go look for somewhere new every night. The walls are full of ink drawings the young Gehaka has done, signed and everything. His table holds a picture of whom he believes to be his Haka mother, but isn't quite sure of.

His Haka mother died during child birth and he doesn't know if he even had a Gehaka father. He'd been living on the streets for as long as he can remember, making money any way he could. It wasn't until he was five years old that he figured out he couldn't speak. Someone had always spoken for him; usually another homeless Gehaka. That's when he took up the art of writing. He's handwriting was flowery, beautiful and almost flawless. His teenage years were ackward to say the least. He was always getting in some sort of trouble. Usually it was with food and shelter, hardly having any. It wasn't uncommon for him to be found rooting through the trash of someone elses garbage to see if they left any sort of scraps. [Working on this, too.]

Daidokoro soshite Dainingu Ru-mu ( Kitchen and Dining Room ) ( I am aware of the state of the kitchen in the picture. ^^; )
The kitchen was old, but in good condition and often used! Even when not in use, the supple smells and delcious meals that had be prepared still held it's faint aromas. Pantries and shelves lined the wall, as pots and pans hung from the ceiling. The floor was covered in concrete and the kitchen itself was lower than the house. A door leading to the outside that lead to the well and circus was off in the back.
Watching your step, the dining room was a few feet away from the kitchen. Which more often than not was used as a living room and a downstairs sitting room.

Nyuuyoku ( Bathing Room )   As you enter into the bathing room, you realized that it was seperated into two rooms.
The room to the left had a small area lined with redwood flooring, in the corner was a small shallow bath only big enough for one person. Next to the bath was a small stool made of the same wood as the floor, and accompanying the stool was a white bucket meant for washing. Off to the side was a cabinent filled with viles and robes. The small room had a distinct smell of oils and medicine. With this, you came to a quick conclusion, this was meant for the sickly Anemane.
The other room that was to the right, looked a bit less elegant, but is served it's prupose. A few buckets stacked on top of one another by the stools next to the baths, a cabinet with a soaps, oils, and lotions was off to the side, also inside the cabinet were towels and robes.
Both rooms hand sun roofs ( windows on the ceiling), that allowed light in during the day and star gazing at night. Besides the bathing rooms, was a door leading to the outside. Outside could be reached the small wood powered burners beneath the baths, so that they could be warmed during the winter.
