Cirque Du Diablo​

You are welcomed to the local circus coming to town, Cirque Du Diablo. The show is bright and entertaining. You smile, laugh, and gape in awe at the impressive physical feats being performed. However, the lights then turn out, the majority of the audience starts to glow with a blue aura as their souls are released from their bodies. Frightening monsters then appear, and start devouring them. You try to run away, but you are mortally wounded. Left to die, a girl appears at your side during your last breaths. She gives you the decision to die, or become her dedicated servant. You accept life, and choose to become her servant. She stabs you in the heart with an ornate silver colored dagger that glows with an ominous black aura. After experiencing hours of intense pain, you awaken. Christened anew, as a demon. Now being forced to join Cirque Du Diablo as a new performer, you are now a member of a demon sanctuary. Do you choose to embrace your demonic self? Do you let your urges to devour souls consume you? Do you try to live a happy life? Do you protect others with your new power? That choice is yours.

Demon Biology:

Spoiler

Demon's differ greatly in appearance. They can look mostly human, beastly, and everything in between. Some have special abilities and different aptitudes then others. Some Demons excel at agility and physical prowess, some work well using magic, and there are even Demons capable of peering into the minds and memories of others. Their usually much more durable then humans, and they have the ability to regenerate wounds, even being able to regrow limbs if they were lost. They are also capable of sustaining themselves using food and water like normal humans, but they do have urges to devour souls. Some Demons choose to ignore these urges, others embrace them. Demons are weak to holy relics, Hawthorn wood negating their abilities and being able to pierce them and wound them normally. Holy Water also burns upon contact, and will restrict regeneration abilities along with sap a Demon's physical strength.

[Naoto]

Name: Drew Alexandrite

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Stage Name: The Midnight Charmer

Act: Knife Throwing

Appearance (Pre Transformation): Drew stood at 5,7 and had dark messy brown hair with olive toned skin and bright blue eyes. He was rather scrawny with slender arms and legs, and often had dark shadows under his eyes from being sick so often as a child.

Appearance: (Post Transformation): After his transformation, Drew now stands at 5,11. His skin is pale white, and smooth like alabaster, while his bright blue eyes have changed to a more menacing shade of blood red. While he was a human, his hair was messy and brown. Now, his hair is silky and black, with long bangs that make it hard to see his eyes. Also, while he was rather scrawny when he was a human, he's now fairly more muscled, and while slim, his body is very toned. It should also be mentioned that his demonic form is much handsome then his human one, resembling a bit of a pretty boy. His voice also had become much pleasing to the ear, sound smooth and slightly boyish.

While prefers to wear t shirts and jeans. During performances, he usually wears a sort've gothic dandy styled costume. It consists of a black blazer over a white button up collared with matching trousers, brown leather loafers, a top hat with roses decorating the brim, and a black leather pouch tied to his belt that holds numerous amounts of throwing knives.

Personality: Drew is fairly polite, and tries to be fairly friendly towards others. He's very loyal, and tends to try hard to help others. Despite this however, Drew tends to have confidence issues and suffer from low self-esteem. While he may seem rather charming, watch out if you piss him off. He tends to get very harsh when angered, and will get physically violent if somebody hurts one of his friends. He also does not take lying, betrayal, and cowardice very well, and people who anger him with these tend to not be forgiven very easily. Despite this, he has an unfettered kindness, that seems to transcend appearance and race, and he tries to look for the best in people. He doesn't deem someone as terrible based on their past or their appearance, but based on their actions and intensions. He also enjoys drawing, and is a terrible cook.

Abilities: Drew is very strong, and has very fast reflexes along with much better hand-eye coordination after becoming a Demon. This allows him to throw knives with powerful force, and with deadly accuracy. While it's a skill that'll need perfecting, he also has supernatural abilities to "Charm" People, but this only works on human girls. His charm abilities are also really hindered by his own inexperience and he has a hard time keep girl's distracted and hypnotized, let along anything like giving information or doing something against their will. Also, if a girl becomes aware of his "Charm", it's rendered completely ineffective against them.

Talents: Drew loves to draw, and has quite a bit of skill at it. Up until becoming a demon, it was his dream to become a graphic novelist.

Other: N/A

[King Smaug]

Name: Gregory Chambers (usually called Gentil after his transformation)

Gender: Male

Age: 21

Stage Name: Le Gentil Géant (the gentle giant), or Gentil for short.

Act: Gentil is one of the circus’ clowns. Due to his innate clumsiness while on two legs and his gentle and kind nature toward children he was a perfect fit.

Appearance (Pre Transformation): As a human, Gentil was always tall, at 6’6 he towered over everyone else. Despite his imposing height and wide set stature, Gentil always seemed approachable. This was partly due to the smile that always seemed to sit on his face along with his soft features and light brown hair which highlighted his yellowish orange eyes.

Appearance: (Post Transformation): Gentil grew during his change, ending up at 10.2 feet. Gentil also ended up faceless, the shape of his old features (eyes/lips/nose) still poked through as if his old face was covered in a mask of skin pulled taut over his face. Gentil’s skin is very pale, like an off-white. His skin is also semi translucent, causing his veins to be visible through his skin. Genti’s fingers and toes fused together so he now has three, fat digits on each hand and foot . On his hands and feet, Gentil has a black talon on each finger/toes which starts halfway up the digit, the middle finger/toe’s talon measuring 5 inches, and the two other finger’s measuring 3. Similarly, Gentil has a 8 inch, black, downward curved spike poking out from each shoulder blade. Gentil’s body is made up of firm, sinewy muscle with a chest measuring three feet across. Gentil’s arms are also long, hanging down so low that they end halfway down his calf, this makes it easier for him to bend down onto all fours and run on all fours.

Personality: Gentil is very dog like, somewhat aloof but can be vicious. Also like a dog Gentil loves kids, being very soft and kind with them, earning him his name “The Gentle Giant” and also letting him counteract his soul eating nature and become more of a protector for the young, old, and disabled. Due to having no mouth, Gentil cannot communicate through speech. Luckily, Gentil is very expressive (also like a dog) and communicates through his body language.

Abilities: Gentil is very strong, he lift at his maximum almost 2 tons. He is also fast, while on four legs he can run close to 40 mph but only for around 3 miles though. Unfortunately, while on two legs, Gentil can only travel about 1 mph, Gentil is also very clumsy on two legs, often falling or knocking things over. Since Gentil has no eyes or nose or mouth, he “sees” with his mind. His vision ends up looking to him like everything is blue wireframe on a black background. With this vision though, Gentil can see through thin walls such as 6 inch drywall. He cannot see through lead or most concrete walls.

Talents: Gentil used to be quite the dancer and cook, he learned it to help with socialising.

Other: Gentil eats by absorbing the nutrients from food, leaving behind a pile of gray ash. Despite this, it seems that Gentil has a sense of taste as he prefers some food over others. Gentil has a preference for Italian food. In the presence of Hawthorn wood, Gentil is blind.

 

[Medusa Gorgon]

Name: Ling Fan

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Stage Name: Feling Fatale

Act: Acrobat, As a demon she's part feline, her extra agility allows her mastery in the field of acrobatics. Since her transformation, she's become more daring with her act. She incorporates much of her Akido training into this.

Appearance (Pre Transformation): Ling has always had a slim, yet feminine build, standing at 5"5, her Akido training training has helped her tone up to the point where she is able to take down opponents twice her size in hand to hand combat. Can usually be found dressed in an all black keikogi and hakama, her ebony hair is tied and styled into a hair bun, fixed in place by her hair pin. Wears an oriental mask, usually all times when in public when not transformed.

Appearance: (Post Transformation): Growing at least a foot taller than normal, Ling's appearance is seemingly that of a panther that's been merged with a draconic like face due to her face taking on the physical attributes of her mask; She has the ability to walk on either two or four legs in this form; her claws allowing for added gripping/fighting ability. Her build is still very slim and muscled though. As she still wears her usual attire, the only obvious feline attributes are her claws (on closer inspection) her ears, and her tail

Personality: Ling has always managed to be an expert reader of body language and also expressing her thoughts/feelings in the form of body language. She is fiercely loyal to a select few, but values greatly her anonymity and her personal space though, she does also long to make sense of who she is and what it is exactly that she truly wants in life. She really hates bullies though, and will not tolerate it if she happens upon it. (usually letting her claws do the talking). Her Akido training has still allowed her to keep a semblance of individuality, even after her transformation.

Abilities: Due to her demonic characteristics and training, Ling possesses an extreme speed and hand to hand fighting ability; since her "change" she has been learning to incorporate her training into her abilities, and uses her improved higher pain tolerance to last longer in more "dangerous stunts". Her eyesight and hearing have increased to superhuman levels, however, this has the knock on effect of her being weak to sudden, loud bursts of noise (high pitch especially) to throw her balance off, and also being exposed to large amounts of lighting at close range. She also has a rather unfortunate problem of being exposed to bodies of water, no matter how small they seem.

Talents: The ability to dance, highly trained in akido and other forms of martial arts and sword fighting (especially with Katanas)

Other: Since her transformation, Ling has developed a high fondness for meat, and various forms of fish, sometimes she can devour various forms of meat raw, though she always insists on cooking her fish well.

[Heroic Sociopath]

Name: Vance D. Twinny

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Stage Name: He just sells pop corn.

Act: Pop corn seller

Appearance (Pre Transformation): Vance has a mop of long, black hair atop his head. His skin is pale, and he's fairly tall, at 6'2. His shoulders are broad, and while he was never into sports, he's had several physical jobs. Thus, he's pretty strong, with thick biceps and a well-defined chest. As far as clothes, he used to dress casually, mostly wearing t-shirts and jeans.

Appearance: (Post Transformation): Not much has changed. His eyes are now read, and he has fangs. He has changed his clothing a bit. Now he's almost never seen without some form of sweater on. He uses it to store things he needs for his magic.

Spoiler

Personality: Vance looks like an emo kid, but he's actually fairly upbeat. He's outgoing as all hell. His interests include video games, tabletop RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons and World of Darkness, and bad horror films. He's become a bit obsessed with gaining more power. In video games he always played as a wizard, and he's very, very happy to learn that he is one now.

Abilities: Vance is now a magician. He specializes in necromancy, but he has other spells too. While individual spells aren't particularly strong, he has quite a few of them. He learns them by careful study from a spellbook given to him called The Necronomicon. He has a hard copy, but shortly after receiving it, he went to the local library and scanned it. Converting it to PDF form, he has it on his phone, as well as several flash drives.

Spoiler

Least Necromancy
Vance animates up to one corpse. Right now, all he can do is zombies or skeletons. For a zombie, he needs a relatively meaty corpse, with some bones for structure. So a pile of ground beef wouldn't work, but a recently dead puppy or human would. Zombies are slow, but fairly sturdy. They smell bad unless Victor properly preserves them, which could be either a strength or weakness. For skeletons, he needs a skeleton. It can still be in a corpse, in which case the bones seperate themselves. Held together by magic, these ghastly apparitions are faster than zombies, but will break apart with a reasonably strong blow.

Both varieties of undead have intelligence on par with that of a very stupid human. Though unable to speak, they can understand English, and will obey any commmands Victor gives them to the best of their ability. Again, they ain't very smart. So Vance could tell a pair of zombies to carry a crate full of broccoli to his car, but they would be unable to drive said car. The undead he summons with this spell are roughly as strong as an average human. They cannot feel physical pain. However, they have very low self-esteem, so it's very easy to depress them.
Finally, they love to dance.

Even More Least Necromancy
Vance can only use this spell on slices of lunch meat. When he does, a mouth appears on them. The lunch meat then begs not to be eaten. If eaten, it begins to scream very loudly.

The Best Popcorn Ever
To cast this spell, Vance must make a bag of popcorn. He must then spend three hours bonding with the popcorn. "Bonding" is defined here in engaging in various leisure activities, including, but not limited to, playing video games with the popcorn, riding a bike with the popcorn, watching movies with the popcorn, playing Dungeons and Dragons with the popcorn, having conversations with the popcorn, and going shopping for new clothes with the popcorn. At the end of said three hours, the popcorn will have changed in flavor. Anyone who eats this popcorn will find it is the best popcorn they've ever had. No popcorn will ever surpass it in flavor. It has the perfect balance of salt, butter, and there are absolutely no burnt kernels.

That is not the main effect of the spell.

The popcorn can be eaten and digested as is normal. However, when it reaches the subject's stomach, it begins to multiply. After five seconds, every popcorn kernel becomes two popcorn kernels. Those popcorn kernels themselves multiply. And they multiply again. At this point, the subject will begin to feel painful cramps, as the popcorn continues to multiply. It will do so every five seconds. After about thirty seconds, the stomach lining of the subject will begin to break, usually causing them to go into convulsions as the stomach acid begin to leak into their bloodstream. The popcorn will continue to multiply, however, eventually bursting forth from the subject's body. That is when the popcorn is finished multiplying.

Vance is not allowed to use this spell on guests of the carnival ever, ever again.

Firebolt
Vance conjures a small orb of molten hot metal, and fires it at enemies. It goes at about the speed of a bolt fired from a crossbow. So it won't pierce clean through a target, instead typically embedding itself in their skin. The orb itself is about the size of a ping-pong ball, and made of a mixture of various low-value metals with low purity. Mostly iron, aluminum, and tin.

Slime Sigil
Vance draws a sigil on a surface. Upon saying the magic word, the object or a ten-foot radius circle (whichever is smaller) becomes covered in sticky green slime. It tastes and smells like lime gelatin. It's high in vitamin C, but it has a lot of carbs in it too. Attempting to eat it is not recommended. The slime is a very powerful adhesive. A normal person that steps in it will find their feet firmly glued to the floor, and anyone holding an object with it will find themselves holding it for a long time. If you tried to eat it, it would fuse your mouth shut.

It is possible to detach someone bound by this spell with means such as enhanced strength, but if it's touching bare skin, the subject will usually lose a good deal of flesh in the attempt. Luckily, the slime dries after about five minutes, and can then be peeled off. The slime is also very flammable, so it can be burned off. The fires it produces are very hot, however, so this might not be a good idea if an actual person is stuck to it. The sigil must be drawn with a green marker. The sigil takes the form of any word. When the word that's been written is spoken, the sigil activates. So if Vance writes "Cat" in a green marker on, say, a knife, at any point, he could say the word "Cat", and it would be covered in green slime. The brand of marker doesn't really matter, although Crayola makes the slime taste a bit more like lemon gelatin. Green highlighters work as well, but the slime smells a bit like cough syrup.

Talents: Knows a lot about tabletop RPGs.

Other: Victor usually keeps a marker, a deck of playing cards, and his iPhone on hand.

[SukiWooper]

Name: Mark Basil

Age: 20

Stage name: Pyre

Act: Walking on coals, fire eating

Appearance: Pre-transformation: 5 foot 8, and has a fairly average build. He has red hair, brown eyes, and a rather large nose. He doesn't take care of his hygeine very well, so he has rather uneven facial hair and slightly yellow teeth.

Post transformation: His hair has gotten a tad longer, his build a bit more athletic. The most noticable change is to his skin, which has been absolutley covered in scars.

For practical reasons, he usually goes barefoot, and wears a wifebeater and a pair of shorts.

Ability: Mark can split apart his body up to 14 times. These detached parts can move independent from his main body, as well as any other severed part. The severed parts can be recalled at anytime to his main body, and will even teleport if they are unable to move back physically.
Exposue to heartwood makes the severed parts immediately snap back.

He also cannot feel pain.

Personality: Mark is a man who is pretty much married to his job. He's constantly finding ways to improve or shake up his act. Because of this, he has little knowledge regarding things other than fire, pain, and splitting apart the human(oid) body.
He's also rather socially dense.

Talents: He's rather good at planning ahead, and knows a lot about biology.

Other: None.

 

[Taengoo]

Name: Spartacus Flynn

Gender: Male

Age: 21

Stage Name: Novem-Carpi

Act: Contortionist

Appearance (Pre Transformation): Prior to transformation, Spartacus was a 6' tall man of French origin. He was olive-skinned, having messy brown hair and dichromatic eyes (his left is amber colored, his right is a turquoise hue). He wore a red collared shirt, overlapped by a monochromatic vest and ripped jeans. Spartacus also loved to wear a dark blue beret, a gift from his little sister on his 21st birthday.

Appearance: (Post Transformation): As a demon, Spartacus (or rather Novem) is a very tall humanoid, standing at a towering nine feet tall. He has many dark red scales covering his body like a dragon, from his neck to his abdomen bearing beige chestplates. He has two obsidian black ram horns set upon his head, with eerie dichromatic eyes, except this time the left is lime green, and the right is a crimson color. Sprouting from his back are seven additional arms, measuring five feet long each. He has black talons and dragon-like feet, along with a reptilian tail. He also has a draconic face, allowing him to breathe fire. His wrists can easily rotate in a 360 degree angle, regarding his name Novem-Carpi, meaning 'Nine-Wrist' in Latin.

Personality: Novem is a mostly quiet individual, preferring to do solo acts. He does daily meditating to concentrate, so that he can handle his temper. When he is angered, he demolishes everything in his wake, only stopping when he exhausts himself. This draconic demon cannot understand English, and thus must be trained to understand certain English phrases. Novem will shout at the audience from time to time, if he does not understand what they want to see. Of course, since he is committed to two major acts, he tries to expand his horizons by learning different languages. So far, he knows a little French, German, and Italian.

Abilities: Novem's wrists can easily rotate at a 360 degree angle, meaning he can spin on one hand without dislocating his wrist, or twisting it. He can also breathe fire with his combustion organs set in the bottom of his lower jaw. He is incredibly flexible and can preform contortional feats impossible to achieve as a mortal. His bones are unable to snap, giving him the edge in his acts. He, however, cannot lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk, due to his floppy bones. He is also very weak to any kind of spice, and his organs inside will begin to shut down if consumed. His lungs are huge, and he has incredible stamina.

Talents: Before his transformation, Spartacus was a very talented artist, and was well-known for his scratchboard artwork. He was also a very fast runner, a master lockpicker and thief.

Other: He only speaks in Latin.

 

[Flaze]

Name: Alexander Muñoz
Gender: Male
Age: 19

Stage Name: Joker

Act Name: A combination between a magic act and a tamer act.

Appearance:

Pre-Transformation: Before making the contract Alexander had naturally tanned skin with shaggy and messy brown hair. He had an average built and a pair of green eyes. He always dressed up in flashy outfits in order to make his tamer act stand out but the outfit he liked the most was his black vest with a long sleeved white dress shirt and black pants.

Post-Transformation: After making the contract Joker's skin turned grayish and his brown hair turned blue and became longer. He also got an average built and became a lot faster and agile. His eyes changed from their usual green hue to a red one and he began to wear a red suit with a disorderly black tie and black pants, though he doesn't wear anything under the suit.

Personality: Joker isn't a Batman supervillain but his stage name does define him pretty well. He likes to mess around and always does whatever he can in order to entertain himself, he also loves to entertain others and isn't beyond making others laugh in any way possible. He can be a bit hotheaded though and once he gets series you can never get him out until the source of the problem has been weeded out.

Abilities: Joker has the power to summon different types of creatures. He can summon pretty much any animal he wants but at the same time he can also create his own creatures basing himself from either combining parts of other animals to creatures that appear in books. He can only summon a maximum of 5 animals before losing all his energy though and the more outrageous the creature is the harder it is for him to tame it completely.

He does have one more useful power that he calls Full Tame, this power allows Joker to fuse with any of his creature and adopt their features and abilities, but it requires him to get rid of any other creatures he had summoned but the one he's fusing with since it could exhaust all his energy.

Talents: Joker is very quick on his feet and agile, he's also a quick thinker and is good in hand to hand combat and has a mastery of knives. He isn't really skilled at much of anything else, though he can make a mean sandwich.

Other: Insert a witty comment here.
