THE CIRCUS IS IN TOWN !
⋆ everyone's heard of circus luminos. they're one of america's most popular travelling circus units, to - date. though it may appear to the locals it often visits as a colourful cirque of extravagants, the performers know of its much darker presence. children and adults alike, always reported missing days before luminos packs itself up and moves on, families seen pleading on local news stations for someone to bring their loved ones back home. the circus itself is far too loved by many to ever be accused of something so gruesome, and its always brushed off as a rather horrifying coincidence. - but, of course, the performers know far better than this. circus luminos is far more than meets the usual visitor's eye. the grotesque past that is often seen as nothing more than a playground legend; it's far more than the truth - it's watered down for the listener's pleasure. of course, no one involved in the circus is oblivious to this. in fact, it's cherished. over the funny acts they put on for the general turnout, behind whatever plethora of apparent makeup they seem to wear, resides a creature. not human, definitely not human. far worse. werewolves, vampires, skinwalkers. circus luminos is where they hide their faces, live in peace. it's here they can freshly feed on unwitting victims, before easily moving onto the next town without a care in the world. they leave broken families in their wake, blood on their pale lips. it's sick, it's cruel. - and they each love it, to varying degrees of hunger and simplified bloodlust. though, one has to wonder; how much longer can the creatures hold up this little scheme of theirs?
⋆ as stated, circus luminos is made up of supernatural creatures to be its performers; do they love this life of entertainment, or do they simply seek to spill blood? that's up to you!
⋆ of course, human characters are also welcome! police officers, detectives on the homicide cases, victims, unsuspecting visitors!
⋆ to many in the circus, the ringmaster is god, and their words are a gospel. they can easily go against them, but it's a rather large risk!
⋆ something very important to the creatures in the circus is family relations; make some! ask others if your characters can be related! for example, i'm giving you full reign to have your characters somehow related to my characters seen below! ♡
⋆ the acts! circus luminos is very heavily sustained by its sideshow acts! those are listed below, and you can create more to your hearts content! have them vary, add some i haven't thought of!
⋆ no creature is too old, or too young. no creature is too deadly, or too weak. circus luminos is accepting of all in the supernatural community!

PERSONALITY
if there's one way to describe clem, it's kindhearted. he's always eager to help a good cause, be it his fellow performers, or even among their ever varying audience. though, for his aspirations to be a clown, the child is oddly soft spoken. he's quiet, preferring for his actions to do the talking for him. even in his acts, he's more inspired to blow balloon animals for fellow children than partake in an idiotic joke. though, despite his apparently soft personality, he's energetic. clem's enthusiastic, as most children evidently are, motivated by the fact experiences drive you on in life. unlike his father, the shapeshifter is sincere in his ways of life, and a bit of an apparent airhead. he's an oblivious daydreamer who doesn't like to take charge in any situation, and would prefer to simply - go with the flow. clem, depsite being somewhat mature for his young age, knows there are some things that simply have to be left to the adults.
HISTORY
though one would simply say the opposite for someone being raised in a circus, clem assumes for his life to be somewhat uneventful. his mother passed away during his birth, leaving him in the sole care of ernest. though the man has many flaws to him, one thing he seems to be good with is fatherhood. the man in question and the rest of the circus lovingly raises him, teaching him the right, and wrong, things to do along the way. at age six, he decides he wants to be a show clown. though it's discussed between himself and his father for weeks at the dinner table, clem always gets his way. it's a choice the child is very proud of to this day, happily donning the costume each day to entertain whatever masses arrive. as he's raised into circus luminos, the fact that the other creatures he calls friends murder children and adults alike in cold blood doesn't appear to phase his small mind. if you're born into something, why question it? these days, he's a popular clown with the younger children, and the ones around his own age. the adults don't seem very fond of clem, but the boy doesn't speak up if it offends him in anyway.

PERSONALITY
despite how ernest judges other people, the man has his own immense ego. he has enough gall to go behind just about anyone's back to get what he wants, willing to go as far as ignoring the ringmaster. he's a straight thinker, always managing to have a plan. ernest is who steps up when the circus is in times of need, or when the others find themselves having problems with something they cannot sort themselves. in short - he's more than just another performer. the vampire's judgement is nearly unsurpassed, always managing to be practical and fact - minded. regardless of his better viewed traits, many worse ones are easy to spot. the man's temper is on a short timer, and while bold in his apparent leadership role, he is inflexible. once a plan has come to his mind, there is no way of making ernest shift it in the slightest. one could describe him as rather narrow - minded in his ways.
HISTORY
it's unknown as to when ernest was actually born, but he was raised in the small german town of bamberg. despite being a vampire, his younger years appear surprisingly simple. he comes to america in the early 1900's, along with his beloved mother. they're easy to fall into their new lives in the small suburbs of the raunchy washington state. though, jobs do not come easy to the german immigrants. many turn away ernest, and even more seem to turn away the teen's mother despite her countless experience in most business fields. their saving grace is in the year 1923, when an odd little circus situates itself just outside of their town. the attraction easily finds itself popular among the local children, but ernest and his mother look to it for other reasons. they do not seek entertainment among the mysterious sideshows, but jobs. to their honest surprise, this carnival is oddly accepting of the mother and son pair. ernest's mother is still flexible, able to use her gymnastics skills in - turn to become one of the circus' most popular tightrope walkers. the woman's son, on the other hand, takes to the idea of mimicry. being a mime seems to be something ernest is easily able to master, and after decades of the act, he's nothing short of an all - time pro. it isn't till later they realise the circus'... real intent. it's short on entertainment, looking instead for supernatural creatures in an attempt to fuel all their blood - lust. once this revelation is exposed, the man's mother leaves the circus in utter disgust. ernest though, the vampire stays. he's cruel and sadistic, and easily agrees to the ringmaster's terms. after enough time on the road, he's even able to fall in love. a shapeshifter, who joins the circus under the guise of an animal tamer. it doesn't seem like very long passes, and the couple find themselves expecting a child. though this woman is easily lost to time, their child is not, and ernest dearly cherishes the boy. though, he spares him the gory details of the circus, and its true intent.
