Status: Resident (Dived in Nightmare 10 years ago)
Title: Pirate
Age: 29
Race/Species: Human
Location: The Sea. He had arrived as a slave before making a place for himself and becoming Captain Tanahii’s right-hand man.

History: Sydius was eighteen when he arrived but, unfortunately, he never recovered his memory from the Dive and all he’s known is the Sea and his Captain. He has seen pirates, slaves and others come and go, and has remained a loyal man to his boss.
Personality: Beneath his calm, witty behavior is a ruthless man who takes pleasure in enslaving, weak and strong, victims and pleasing his Captain. His love for women can sometimes blind him, but not enough to spare their lives if he’s in a foul mood.
Abilities: He has practiced hard to become a great shot and cunning swordsman. He is always talented at reading others and the Sea. He also knows how to put that hook hand of his to good use.
Extras: N/A

Name: Nexus
Source: Original Character
Status: Native
Title: Freak
Age: 10 (human years), 30 (squid years)
Race/Species: Cthulu Spawn
Location: N/A
Gender: Female ?
Hair: Various blues
Eyes: Crimson
Skin: Pale blue
Height: 5’6”
Weight: 180 lbs (counting her tentacles)
History: Monsters, like her kin, have always been notorious for causing storms and shipwrecks on the Sea, driving men to madness. The aftermath of such a night was always brutal. Weak sunlight from the crack of dawn shed light on the disaster waiting upon the shore, gleaming upon what had once been a masterful ship leaving no bodies behind, as they’d all been drug under the sea. It was on a night like that when these creatures picked the wrong ship to attack. After the first man fell prey to the sea, the Flying Mirage fought back like no man had before. More monster blood was spilt than human, and the aftermath of such a night left the small squid, with barely any human features, washed up on shore accompanied by the bodies of her kin. Life had already oozed out of them and she was dying, dehydrating, in the wake of the sun. That was until the fierce Captain arrived and scooped her up. Nexus was not raised on the ship, but made a slave. After five years, she was an adult because of her breed, and made her escape—the first to escape Captain Tanahii and her first-mate Sydius. It was when they were throwing three new slaves in the prison, the lowest level on the ship, when Nexus took her chance and shot out of the brig. Her plan didn’t go down without a fight—one that left her nearly without any tentacles and Sydius without a hand… (more info coming soon!)
Personality: Her kind is normally only satisfied with watching people go mad, but since being raised a slave and escaping to freedom, she has grown bitter, wild and unpredictable. She is feared by many of the other Freaks and isn’t allowed to perform on stage, as she has no way of controlling her madness. One thing that keeps her from becoming murderous is her love for the Carnival; her home. She also has great respect for the Ringmaster Cenota and will follow him anywhere.
Abilities: What she is known for, at the Circus of the Dammed, is changing colors to match her surroundings so that her skin appears littered with strobe lights and matches the beat of the music. Her other abilities are unknown.
Extras: Her tentacles form at her waist and reach a few feet beyond her feet. She has learned how to squeeze them tight against herself if need be, but now that she’s found a home, she sees no real reason to hide who she is, now that her beloved limbs have grown back.

Abilities: Bain can turn into full Pomeranian form. He also harnesses the ability to hypnotize. When he does this his eyes glow like purples flickering flame.
