From the outside, the Cirque de Gothique seems splendid and admirable, however things are not always as they seem. What happens behind the curtain's rise and fall is a mystery. Perhaps one best left alone, lest you get dragged into the darkest secrets of this circus.
Behind the curtains is a rundown, filthy cesspool of bad choices and of broken promises. The monsters and humans who take the stage, though jovial and cheerful they may seem in public, are treated like nothing more than trash, like puppets or toys to the Ring leaders and the owners, behind the dark velvet curtains. Most of them were either brought or kidnapped by the owners, whike others joined seeking asylum from the cruel world of humanity.
If the owners are not pleased its up to the Ring leaders to punish and put the rest in their places, or ris bring demoted or 'replaced'. The owners themselves are rarely seen, and on the occasion they have appeared, they've concealed their faces with grotesque masks.
Once apon a time, most loved doing what they did, performing for ignorant humans, traveling from place to place bringing amusement and joy to wherever they stopped- however all that love is now lost and forgotten. The wonder and awe which they brought to the stage, now lost in the darkened future. Some have tried to escape and have failed, being killed or sold elsewhere after the attempt. Most don't want to leave for the fear of their own lives and others simply want to make a change.

Name: Selene "Scrounge" Voleuse-Williams
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Species: Nekomata (I'd suggest looking it up but w/e man)
Appearance:
"Normal" Appearance:
'Cat' Form:
Personality: She's very dark and brooding, and pessimism would fit nicely as her middle name, though she does crack a joke or two, though she thinks trying to cheer anyone up is kind of useless. Despite her bleak outlook on life in general and her crippling depression and anxiety, she really does care about the other people there, though she hides it with cold shoulders and snarky comments.
Occupation: Sideshow attraction/ Acrobat
Background information: She was captured by a monster hunter (not the game rip), at when she was 13, and has been either locked in an all-too small cage, or forced into dangerous high-wire stunts ever since. She's locked up almost 24-7 due to an incident with a previous Ring master. He did not survive, and she was deemed too dangerous to let loose. She has a tendency to get violent when she's locked up for too long.
Crushes: Open
Other: She has two tails, and is just a big agnsty kitty. She's displayed as 'The Half-Girl, Half-Cat!" Or "The Twin Tailed Feline!" Depending on what form she's supposed to take.

Age: 20
Gender: Male
Species: Incubus
Appearance:
Personality: Very promiscuous and flirtatious, its almost like a pass time. Eli is rather lazy and does what he wants. He doesnt seem to care what others think. He has a big ego and can be rather narcissistic. He tries to keep up an attractive facade, because he has to hide his true form from hidden from others. Eli is also manipulative and good at getting what he wants
Occupation: Side Show entertainer lookin for money
Background information: His eyes can change color depending on the woman he's looking at to accommodate her interests and what she wants to see in a man. So falling in love with him is easy.

Age: 17
Gender: F
Species: Pixie/Fairy/Imp of some sort??
Appearance: *dumps my new Undertale OC here* take this trash.
Personality: Jinx is surprisingly optimistic considering the conditions she lives in. While she's sweet, she's also very blunt, but that could simply be typical pixie manners. If she's given fresh fruit, she will love you forever, although she doesn't seem to have a mouth and doesn't even need typical food to sustain herself, being able to feed off emotions of other creatures. She's stronger than she looks and won't hesitate to punch you, but it still wouldn't be a very powerful punch simply due to her small stature. And speaking of small stature, don't even bother with short jokes, she's heard them all. Shiny things are among her favorite objects, although she is not to be trusted with anything, she'll lose it within an hour. She also has a habit of talking and having entire conversations with herself, especially when she thinks no one is listening. When she's found out she gets embarrassed. Occasionally she'll see, smell, or hear things that don't actually exist, and whether it's because of her own species magic or because of her state of mind is unknown.
Occupation: Fills misc roles such as ticket-selling and tip-gathering. Is popular with visitors (particularly children) due to her cute appearance. She also creates decorations, and being able to fly means she's usually the one that hangs things up and do flyovers with glitter or confetti in shows.
Background information: She was caught while wandering alone in a field and sold to the circus. She claims to have been looking for someone, but can't remember who or why. For now she sticks with the circus, first of all because they've threatened to cut her wings off if she tries to escape, second of all because she's waiting for something to jog her memory and hopefully find the "super important person."
Crushes: none lmao
Other: She doesn't remember names very well and gives her own nickname to those she meets that she deems important enough to her or that she thinks she'll see often. Also, she owns two objects that she's somehow managed to hold onto without losing them. The first is a key that opens...well, no one is really sure what. The second is a small bottle made of red glass. For some reason it never breaks.
Questions/Concerns: none atm as long as the form is ok
i have fists for hands and fire for fists

Scrounge sighed irritably, pacing back and forth in her all-too small cage, in her cat form. She hissed and snarled at passerbys to keep them entertained, lest she be forced to go another night without dinner. "Stupid, idiotic humans. If I weren't caged this tightly, I'd have eaten the lot of 'em already.." she murmured to herself, making sure no one overheard her. It would suck even more if people found out she could talk, and started demanding it of her. She growled once again as she continued pacing.

Age: Around a century or so?
Gender: Female (most of the time)
Species: Alp
Appearance: Due to being a shapeshifter, she has plenty of forms, though she most often sticks to variants of her base form. Her base form is that of a short androgynous preteen child with pale skin, pointed ears, sharp teeth, and bright green cat-pupiled eyes. Her hair is a wild mess of black waves, cut in an almost boyishly. She almost never removes her tarnkappe, a short black top hat, and never leaves it off her person if she can help it. Majority of her forms are different altercations or older versions of her base form, besides her non-humanoid forms. Majority of the time, she tends to wear dark or monochromatic striped shirts with dark blue or gray slacks, coupled with a variety of colorful suspenders. She typically sticks to remaining in a teenage to youmg-adult version of her base form in most situations, as she hates being treated like a child. Az also has quite obvious german ancestry.
Personality: Az is very mischievous and upbeat, and can be quite the trouble maker if she wishes to be. She's pretty energetic, and enjoys joining in on the occasional scuffle. Az is a bit of a daredevil, and is absolutely crazy to most people. She's a bit of a wildcard, and considers herself a jack-of-all-trades, which is fairly accurate as long as you include the "master-of-none" bit. She also tends to spend a lot of her time around Jinx, if she can. She absolutely loves puns and practical jokes.
Occupation: Az mainly works as one of the "exhibits," though she's always happy to do the occasional performance or help out with setting up. Occasionally impersonates other members of the group and takes over doing their jobs, whether they want her to or not.
Background information: Nobody really knows where she came from, one day she kind of just "showed up" one day and refused to leave, so everyone else just kind of rolled with it. Nobody seems to be capable of catching her anyways. She hasn't explained anything about her past, and she'd like to keep it that way. Her powers mainly involve Shape-Shifting and invisibility, though she can also turn into fog and enter the minds and dreams of others. Though she can occasionally possess people, she usually chooses not to. She can sustain herself mainly off of dreams, but she prefers to actually eat corporeal food instead. She's also very German.
Crushes: n/a
Other: Well, she's allergic to iron and lemons so those are things she avoids. She also has almost zero tolerance for people who try to take her tarnkappe.
Questions/Concerns: n/a
