[ The Player ] Character name: Charlot M'Queen
Nickname/Stage name: Harlot / --
Meaning: --
Gender: Male
Age: Eternally Mid-twenties; actual age unknown.
Hair color: Dirty blond, appears almost a muted gray-blond
Eye Color: Murkey blue-green; when he's gone lunar they brighten to an electric blue-green.
Nationality: Victorian Britain
Heirtage: Low-class Cockney
Appearance: Tall, lanky; thin, but well defined stomach and arm muscles; looks like a street thug on the outside, scruffy appearance and very scruffy; he's got a skull tattoo on his right hip; long 'piano players' fingers (might've played if he could've afforded it); slightly pointed ears that give him a fey appearance; handsome, ruggedly good looking. Has definate sex appeal.
Sexual Preferance: Still breathing, preferably. Aside from that, he cares not.
Personality: Charlot is easygoing. He'd rather have a smoke and comment on your beauty, than fuss over where he's gonna get the money to afford a place to sleep tonight. He's got a street arrogance and confidence born of a person who's never really had anything to lose. He values the power of money. He's got an attitude and likes to get a rise out of prudes and 'good' people. Deep down, he's a good guy himself... kinda.
Interest: The Circus, performing, weaponry; tobacco, liquor, money
Hobbies: Collects odd trinkets, bits, and bobs... fancies himself a bit of an 'antique'.
Talent: Precision, blades, and whips; Sharp eyes and focus; high tolerance of pain
Weaknesses:
1. An addiction to tobacco; he'll smoke anything.
2. Partial to tears. He'll go soft if someone cries infront of him- on the flip side, if he's in a sadistic mood... all it does is turn him on. o_O;
3. He's a silly drunk. If drunk, he gets silly. Singing, dancing, confessing stupid secrets... pushing his luck with 'would-be' lovers. He denies it later, of course.
4. Most of the major vices known to man he's rather fond of.
5. Lunacy: He suffers from lunacy. During the height of the full moon, he goes APESHIT crazy. Possessed by a blood rage, in his past he's commited several horrifying murders. When the phase is through, he has trouble remembering what's happened.. but from his appearance and location he can only assume the worse. Because of this he cannot connect to anyone person or place and is forced to continually move. He's traveled with circuses as a mean to evade police and staying in a crime region.
Background: Ever since puberty he's had a little problem, and no- not what you think. Charlot suffers from Lunacy. It started when he was around 13 years old, when he commited his first murder killing a man on the streets. He didn't remember any of it, and when he awoke he was cold and wet from the rain. He'd run away, scared that whoever had murdered the man he had woke up around would come for him next.
It took several more years for him to connect the peices and realize he had a problem. Unable to stay in one city for too long, he contented himself with traveling and keeping out of the main areas of people when it was close to his 'moon rage'. Sometimes he could get it on the dot... sometimes he couldn't.
His blood is tainted with something- be it a curse or other. He doesn't know why, but he's lived a long time and doesn't age as someone normally would.
He hopes to find a place in a circus and travel, finding a mystic who can help him unlock his bloodline and control his lunacy.
Criminal Record: Murder**
Sexual Assault (....see weakness #3)
Harassment
Inciting a Riot
Arson
Destroying Public Property
Impersonating an Officer
** Although he has murdered under the powers of his mental disease, he is not a Murderer. He would rather lie low, living his life without the monthly rage. He's been struggling to find a cure for it since he was young and hit his first Moon-rage. Since the Circus holds all manner of mystical people- fakers and true magicians, he hopes to find someone who can help him cure himself.

[ Stage Progression ]
1. No Talent. ;D I suck! <3
2.Bullwhip :: At onset, character has an uncanny ability with the bullwhip. With additional practice he can hit targets with accuracy, snatch objects from a person's body without causing them harm, and even cut objects with the whips tip.
Performance types: snuffing out candles from a distance, hanging roses from suspended wires and causing them to explode sending petals scattering down below onto audiences, snatching cigarettes/cigars/oral objects from targets, popping ballons, lighting firecrackers
Knife Juggling--->Throwing: Character begins to pick up knives and short swords, familiarizing themselves with balance and weight; once comfortable with the blades, character moves toward practicing with dart boards, etc
Performance Types: Beginning to incorperate the knife/sword juggling into the act, or perhaps doing another act later in the show; possibly teaming up with another performer who does blades/juggling.
3. Sword Dancing: Character very familiar with bladed weapons; begins creating performances around swords, knives, and other bladed weapons; practice continues to mesh the whip and throwing knives, utilizing all talents; More comfortable with targets and throwing weapons, begins to narrow field for throwing down, progression toward targets-->stuffed human dummy. Possible entrance of an assistant player character.
Performance Types: Everything from 1,2 refined;
Knife Throwing w/ Assistant: (several weapon throwing acts with live target*) ---> Later possibly taking audience members as targets.
* Target would have to be another performer, possibly someone who goes for the showgirl/boy type of character.
4. SECRET?! AND UNKNOWN?!?!

I love knives heart haha!
A few things on the stages- stage 1 wouldn't be performing in anyway, besides practicing backstage and stuff. And stage 4... well... I don't want to give anything away, but you don't need to plan out stage 4 until you get there.
The murdering concept is really a nice touch, and I can see a lot of potential for it... but as someone hiring on a new member, I'd be really afraid he'd murder my entire cast. I know they probably wouldn't know when hiring him ICly, but maybe mentioning his attempt to contain himself from now on with his lunacy orrr something... I dunno. This circus already has problems with the fuzz with all the pocket gouging we do, wouldn't need the murder charges added onto it. xd
But without reading his personality, he seems like a very interesting character who'd bring a whole lot of... excitement, to say the least.
