  • A groan pours from your lips as your eyes slid open. The first thing you see is the blurry image of a blonde man standing in front of you. He appears to be wearing a red flowing coat and looking at you with a wide grin. You attempt to get up only to take note that you're chained to the wall. Glancing up once more, you realize the man is laughing. "Welcome to my world, pet." He says as he takes a step closer to you.

    "Your...world..?" You manage to moan pitifully causing the red-clad man to laugh harder.


    "Yes, you silly goose. My world." He says as he motions to the cell that you're currently in. Absently, you take not that there are other people chained to the walls... deformed people... "I have brought you here and... fixed you." He chuckles. "...and you will perform in my circus." You open your mouth to object, but he notices this and cuts you off. "If you refuse... Well then, you will simply end up like the others.." He says with a sense of grim satisfaction before turning on his heel and leaving the room.


    What others..? You wonder to yourself. You can't help but try to imagine how many others there are... or were. You try to take a moment to process things. You were taken from your home and brought to this.. this circus only to be changed into... you don't know what. "It's best just to listen to Master..." A small voice says from across the room.


    You glance up to see the voice came from a rather small girl that is also chained to the wall. You instantly note that she has black wings and blood soaked bandages covering her eyes. You think she's looking at you, but you can't be quite sure. "If you don't... well.." She paused, raising a pale hand to pitifully motion to her eyes. "Our only hope is to escape..." She said softly, a look of what could only be described as determination crossing her face.


    Escape... You glance around at the others as they nod in agreement. You suppose it sounds like a good idea. First, however, you have more important things to worry about. Such as things like what that monster of a ringmaster did to you. Steeling yourself for the worst, you glance down to see what you've become...

  • 1. Obvious. No god-modding.

    2. Respect the other people. If your character wants to bitch slap another character and cuss them out, go right ahead. If you want to bitch slap another person and cuss them out, take it out of the thread and preferably to a moderator. I'm not going to handle your petty arguments. At least not nicely.

    3. Damn, shit, ass, etc... If you don't like it, don't continue because there is going to be much more of it in the future.

    4. Literacy. Learn the word. Love it. Because I do. I'm not going to go all grammar Nazi on you, just please... please... respect the English language... After all. Good grammar is the difference between helping you Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse. I will behave. Until i 2ee 2hiit liike thii2. OR SHIT LIKE THIS. I do not want to feel like I am being screamed at through text. I, however, will not murder you for one or two misspellings. Everyone makes mistakes. I understand this. Just, like I said. Please don't abuse the English language. It is a beautiful thing.

    5. One liners are the enemy. Can we have at least a paragraph? Is that too much to ask? If I see a single sentence post, I will go beyond flipping my shit. I understand writer's block is a common issue, just please don't drop below three sentences.

    6. If you have read these rules in their complete glory, please put "Master is the Enemy" in your character sheet. If I do not see this, you do not get accepted. Plain and simple. I will tell you that you can have a place once you've read the rules.

    7. All characters must be approved by me before joining the role play. This is to prevent stupidity and, once more, to prevent shit flipping.

    8. This role play is NOT for children. 13+ please. There will be some screwed up shit in this RP and I don't want to mentally scar children.

    9. Only two characters per person. That's it. No more. We're not having the RP revolve all around one person and their gazillion characters.

    10. If you are gone for more than a week without giving me a valid reason before you disappear, you will be removed from the RP. We're not all waiting on one person, we want to keep moving. If you are going on vacation or something tell me before you leave.

    Name-
    "Ring Master" Killian
    Gender- Male
    Age- Unknown
    Deformity- None
    Act- The Ring Master
    Personality- Unknown​


    aveline_kimberly_angelo_by_xhelena_skyx-dc6bte7.jpg

    Name- Aveline Kimberly Angelo
    Gender- Female
    Age- 18
    Deformity- Black wings. (Also blinded for punishment)
    Act- The Dark Angel Aerial Show
    Veteran or New- Veteran
    Personality- Aveline is very quiet. She doesn't speak out much except for when she or someone she cares about is horribly wronged. She is neither an optimist or a pessimist, often simply stating what she believes to be the truth whether it's positive or negative. She's not really the type to rise up and be a leader, but can handle herself fine when forced into the position.



    sable_drake_by_xhelena_skyx-dbtt0kx.jpg

    Name- Sable Drake
    Gender- Male
    Age- 21
    Deformity- Gray skin, snake eyes, fangs, reptilian.
    Act- Human Snake / Snake Charmer
    Veteran or New- New
    Personality- Very cocky and defiant. He has never liked taking orders from anyone, and that hasn't changed one bit. Even though he's still healing from the pain of his new form, that doesn't stop him from mouthing off and trying to get one up on the mega douche that did this to him. If the others want to follow him out, that's their business, but he's not going to go out of his way to help them.



    black_werewolf_by_xhelena_skyx-dby4m22.jpg

    Name- Lovetta Seath
    Gender- Female
    Age- 19
    Deformity- Advanced Black wolf hybrid. Has wolf ears, fur along her arms and legs, a wolf tail, clawed hands and feet, and fangs.
    Act- "The Feral She-Wolf"
    Veteran or New- Veteran
    Personality- When she first arrived, she was frightened and tended to lash out with her knew claws and fangs in an attempt to keep others away from her. She would try to hide, thinking her new form was hideous. Eventually though, as she was forced to go through training and performances behaving as a feral wolf that the RingMaster could control, she began to settle into a more feral state of mind. She became angry and resentful towards the man that did this to her and the man who dared to try and control her. She'd stir up trouble in anyway she could think of, consequences be damned. And then she met Gydion and he convinced her to do the unthinkable; speak up to the audience about what was truly happening in the circus instead of performing as she was expected to. The two of them tried this plan only to find themselves swept away to the RingMaster's little chambers of magic. For the past year she had been alone in the small, dark room made for her except for occasional visits from the RingMaster and undergoing psychological abuse in an attempt to get her to behave. Although the RingMaster is confident he's broken her enough to behave now, he is unsure how she is going to truly act now that he's letting her out.


    cassia_locklear_by_xhelena_skyx-dc6btek.jpg

    Name- Cassia Locklear
    Gender- Female
    Age- 23
    Deformity- Snake tail, speaks like a snake.
    Act- "Lady Lamia" and alongside Sable in his snake charming act.
    Veteran or New- New
    Personality- She can be a bit vain, taking too much pride in her appearance. Tends to be calm and collected unless dealing with Sable. Charming and amicable. Cassia deal with her problems by distancing herself from them. If she doesn't care about something or someone it can't hurt her. Underneath her practiced facade, she's just a girl who was hurt too many times.


    karissa_lorelei_angelo_by_xhelena_skyx-dc6btet.jpg

    Name-
    ???????
    Gender- Female
    Age- 14
    Deformity- Black demon wings, horns, and tail.
    Act- ????????
    Veteran or New- New
    Personality- She's violent, angry, and bossy; usually only growing violent and angry because things didn't go her way. Handles change very poorly and also seems to have severe abandonment issues. Temperamental and quickly agitated. While she talks big, in reality she is easily frightened and rather timid in nature due to hiding behind her older sister most of the time growing up. She developed her attitude and anger issues after her older sister went missing four and a half years ago.

One more announcement!!! Sorry guys, but this is actually important and relevant. >_>

A year and a half ago a girl "joined" the circus. Her name was Lovetta and she was a perfect advanced hybrid with a black wolf. The RingMaster had tried making hybrids before then, obviously, but she was the first perfect advanced one. She was a bit of a trouble maker, but nothing too extreme. Until.....

About six months later there was a performer named Gydion. His deformity was bio-luminescent blood, a feat that the RingMaster had only accomplished once and has never been able to replicate. One night during a performance, Gydion and Lovetta teamed up at his urging and truly crossed the line. They tried to inform the audience on what was going on behind the scenes at the circus; every gruesome detail. The performance was interrupted by an "accidental" fire and the big top evacuated before too much was revealed. Gydion and Lovetta vanished after that and the circus immediately moved towns. It would have been thought that the two of them were just killed off like many other uncooperative performers over the years. However, this is not true....

After everyone is in the tent for practice it is going to be revealed that the RingMaster has had Gydion and Lovetta locked up in his work space doing god only knows what to them, separately in isolation, for the last year of their absence. Trying to make them more "well behaved" so they could continue performing due to the fact that the RingMaster was rather fond of Gydion's ability and thought him a too valuable act to lose since he couldn't replicate the deformity on anyone else and that Lovetta's advanced hybrid form was just as valuable and irreplaceable.

Aveline and Meric would recognize them when the RingMaster reveals this, obviously. And I don't know how long Kaylock has been with the circus, only that he's a vet. So, @Cartoonicat do you think you could let me know how long Kaylock has been with the circus before this all goes down so we can prepare accordingly? Harmony wouldn't know them and neither would Marietta or Sable since they just arrived.

I announce all this ahead of time because it's not some plot twist I came up with alone... I talked my husband into joining the RP, FINALLY!!! ^.^

I still have all my stuff planned, and another act will be joining the circus aside from them in the near future. But this won't interfere with anything until they arrive for practice. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up so we could do any necessary planning.

My hubbie will be posting his character sheet for Gydion soon though and I will be posting Lovetta's in a bit.

Thank you, my wonderful RP-mates. That is all... for now.... *evil laughter*
 
Cools! I'll work on my post today. Sorry I haven't been up to talk, I'm fighting the flu. But it won't keep me from role playing! >8D

Harmony's Singing ActSmall.png Posted! C8 Here's is that drawing I told y'all about. I haven't tried making a spot light before, so she looks like she's shining XD
 
Oh! Such great drawings, guys. I really should draw my two the way I see them... Might sketch them out.

Okay... Um, sorry guys, but my next post is really, REALLY long.

I was trying to post in before anyone else did. So now, I've had to add in those actions around Meric's in order to keep everything in sync. Therefore, the post is long... My typical length, LOL! But, all of Meric's and Marrose's responses are there, and a small move towards the dressing room and showers.
 
OMG that picture of Harmony is ADORABLE and amazingly drawn!!! Se's so cyute!!!

And all of your posts were amazing, as always! ^w^

Now I get to work out my long ass post coming up. Fun times, fun times XD At least I won't be bored anymore.
 
Posted! And wow..... That was just....

You got to see a small glimpse of a nicer Sable.... right before he went and turned it on his head.

The Ringmaster might not be the only enemy in the big top. >=3
 
Hey guys, could I have your opinion on something? I was fussing around with this all morning in my boredom. It's Aveline's first costume. The one designed to match her eyes. What do you think? ((Don't mind the wings, I'm crappy at drawing those....))

aveline_blue_costume_by_xhelena_skyx-dby7l4r.jpg
 
@Azazel Nice costume for Aveline, I love it! Especially the ballerina ribbons - a very nice touch, almost soft. Also, yay! More people :D

As for Kaylock, hmm... I imagine he's been there a while? Wanted to actually ask you what you thought would be best, since he's not as much of a vet as Aveline but he's definitely up there. He's already got a pretty hardened attitude (but really, that could also be due to his nature in general - he doesn't remember much from before the circus so he could have been a jerk prior to being captured) so I think it would be safe to say he could have shown up maybe a town or two after Aveline? Up to you, though - I don't want to, like, impose lol.

If it were up to me, though, I'd say he joined not long after Aveline. Would explain how she's able to understand him more than others, too, since they'd have been through a bunch together already.

Also, will probably get around to drawing Kaylock at some point, heh. The faceclaim and decor I found didn't really do what I had in mind for him justice, but it was as close as I could get to what he looked like.
 
Everyone make pretty drawings! ^₩^

I glad that Sable is warming up to the others, even if its a little. Not sure if he'll still like Harmony after he hears her sing though, not many folks like being lured by a sweet voice with dark promises >XD

I'll make my post tonight as per norm, I've been gathering songs for Harmony to sing, so if y'all have suggestions for siren worthy or haunting lullabies or the like, please share ^₩^

Sable and Kaylock are quite alike, I realized xD Hopefully Kaylock will warm up a bit, too. He's not as bad of a guy as he lets on, but he definitely needs some work in the "being a good person" department lol.
 
@Cartoonicat Thank you ^w^ I was trying to keep in mind that she does an aerial show and that her costumes would probably include things like ribbons that would trail behind her and flutter in the air for more effect. I do intend to make her a few more Lolita like costumes too. It all depends on the music she's with and the tone of each performance what her costume will be.

Hmmm, as for that... Aveline was the Ringmaster's first successful creation. He picked her up when she was 13 soon to be 14. So, she's been with the circus for almost four and a half years now. Meric was picked up shortly after closer to exactly four years. And I'm thinking the circus wouldn't have truly began until he had enough performers to actually do something with. So maybe a few months after Meric arrived. Anyways, I'm rambling... I could see him being another one of the Ringmaster's earlier creations as he was getting better at creating deformations. So, I wouldn't necessarily say a few weeks, but maybe a month or two after Aveline. He would have been cautious, making sure he wasn't going to get caught for the first one before grabbing someone else since there wouldn't be a circus to lure people in. He would have had some other trap or just straight up kidnapped people.

And I know how you feel >_> I've been going hectic trying to find a picture for the character I want to introduce soon. Not Lovetta, but someone else. The one I found looks too mature... None the less, I look forward to seeing him if you do draw him! ^.^

And they are kind of alike... Sable is odd in the sense that he slips between good and evil so quickly. You never know if he'll help you or hinder you. Like, for example, one moment deciding he'll be nice to Harmony and the next moment deciding to blackmail Aveline to keep quiet about how she's exaggerating how much help she really needs.

At the moment he does kind of respect Kaylock a bit though, seeing someone else here who isn't going to put up with anyone's crap whether he's stuck in this place or not.


@AmerillaRose Lol, that'll probably annoy him due to his new senses, but he's still grateful for the moment with the offer of keeping warm. Plus, she's young and once he finds out more about her upbringing he'll probably sympathize more since his own home life sucked ass. That's part of why he's kind of cruel. It's his defense mechanism. Sarcasm and insults is how he deals with stress and fear. It helps keep him sane because he has a mildly flawed outlook on life, believing that if he can make others as miserable as he feels than he'll feel a bit better.

And I'll go through my playlist on my laptop. I tend to collect Lullabies since I like to sing them.... Oh, she's going to sing for Marietta's dances sometimes, right? I have a song that would be perfect for that and probably really upset Marietta... It would be the kind of cruel song the Ringmaster picks out too..... But aside from that I'll post links to any other songs I think of that you can consider, okay? =33
 
@AmerillaRose
This is the one I was on about... It took me a moment to find it, but yeah. It's called "Old Doll" and at the end of it with those words he'd probably make Marietta's strings go lax so she fell....

This would be between you and @Phi Chisym though.... Just a suggestion. A cruel suggestion, but hey. That's life at the Dark Wood's Circus..... >=3

 
Sounds great! I can see Harmony being musical back up for most acts, given her talent in singing and with instruments.

Man, I wish I had Wi-Fi for my laptop, then my post would be up by now 8c better get back to typing!
 
Hmmm, then I should work on finding music for some of Aveline's show since her performances aren't like flying through hoops or anything. It's almost like an aerial dance, if you will.... Back to the folders! Lol, you've opened the floodgates now though. I'm going to be posting music probably every several minutes now for suggestions XD
 
Name- Gydion Harvey.
Gender- Male.
Age- Twenty.
Deformity- Bio-luminescent blood.
Act-
Human light show.
Personality- Arrived at the circus over a year ago. After undergoing a series of difficult and painful modifications to his body, which the Ring Master was unable to replicate, Gydion was scheduled to perform as a "human light show". But during his first performance Gydion attempted to reveal to the members of the public what had been going on behind the curtain. He tried to show everyone the cruelty and evil of the Ring Master. But such an attempt did not go unnoticed. Nor unpunished. After the failed attempt Gydion was taken away... To the Ring Master's lab. Alongside another troublesome performer who had assisted him with his attempted revelation. While their Ring Master has never been squeamish about killing the disobedient, both Gydion and Lovetta had alterations to their body that their Ring Master was simply incapable of recreating on another specimen. So they required "fixing". A year in the lab undergoing severe psychological treatment to manipulate them. Gydion still thinks his master is the enemy but is willing to serve.

*claps* Congratulations on survival. Now look forward to the fact you'll have to survive another one soon XD

And OMG I feel so bad. I totally didn't acknowledge the fact Harmony got dropped. Then again, Aveline wouldn't have really known. She heard Meric's scream and panicked then had to try and cover up her concern by pointing out that she now needed help finding Marietta and the wall once more since she'd stepped out into the open floor. Sable was preoccupied thinking Meric got what he deserved and noticing Aveline could hear more than she let on and is now contemplating how to blackmail her.... Although, Meric dropping the small siren will only pit Sable against the magician more....
