Sure!

Name: Damien Hernandez
Age: 19
Birth gender and current pronouns: Male/Him/He
Sexuality: Straight
Role in the circus: Acrobat
Species: Human?
Appearance: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/293859944412922608/
5'9, Olive skin, small-shouldered, long heart face, black short taper that combs over under the usual hats he wears, usual cheeky smile, piercings between his right eyebrow, always has a hat on unless he is performing, and even then in some cases he manages to keep one on.
General Attire:
When he performs: White and gold tights that stretches easily as he moves and does tricks, the gold is a secondary color that is a bit abstract on the uniform. It is fireproof in case he decides to do some contortions in a ring of fire or feeling spontaneous.
When he doesn't perform: Black hat or fedora hiding his hair, Open jacket and white shirt, black chinos with ankle boots or leather shoes
Personality: Introverted and extroverted at the same time, and somehow his voice changes depending on who he's speaking to. If it's someone he doesn't know, then his voice is deeper but if it's someone he knows and comfortable around it's much higher, he's caring and loyal and feels guilty when he does things to others even if they deserve it which is a weakness for him and others. Too trusting but knows when he trusts to far.
Backstory/How they joined the circus (optional):
Other: While being in the circus gig, some people from outside came up with nicknames for him since he didn't already have one. Apparently due to popular vote, they chose The Octopus for him since octopuses are able to get into tight spaces by shaping their bodies in different ways. He didn't really like it but he stuck with it.

Name: Blaze Brady
Age: 21
Birth gender and current pronouns: Male, He/him, they/them.
Sexuality: … Chaotic Gay
Role in the circus: No one actually knows, he seems like he would be a ringleader, but he's not.
Species: Bertani, a demonl-like species that isn't actually a demon.
Appearance: The Bertani are pretty human-like in appearance, they simply have coloration on their shoulders, elbows, knees, feet, ears, etc. So Blaze has this trait too. He also has a demonlike tail, but that's not important. He has pure black eyes with crimson pupils that are a bit like a cat's. He has tattoos on his hands that look like Frankenstein monster's stitches but with fake bruises and a lot of gore.
General Attire: Well, he wears a lot of non-constricting clothes, he needs to be able to move around freely for what he does. His culture wears a lot of more earthy colors with runes in their language stitched onto the clothes. He has a belt with multiple weapons, pouches of random shit, a knife sheath, and a few flasks of liquor (A lot of liquor).
Personality: … He's chaotic, most likely drunk, and more than a little mysterious. He always acts like he's drunk when in reality, his species is unable to get drunk. He tends to flirt with everyone and everything, he somehow manages to make people talk about themselves while not revealing anything about him.
Any Weapons or Magic: He has a lot of weapons, what do you think all the sheaths are for, the aesthetic? His magic is teleporting, he can teleport anywhere. But like all good things, it has its drawbacks. Every time he teleports a long distance, the coloration on his shoulder and such, grows darker and spreads out a bit. To make the coloration go down, he has to stop using his power entireley till it goes down. Like any bruise, it is painfull to touch.

He looks great!
We’re you also going to have a second character, a snake charmer? Or are you just sticking with him?

I'm also making the snake charmer!

Alright!)

Is it okay if my character can sense a person’s emotions if they’re touching the person?

Sure, as long as it’s not super OP)

Thanks! Dw it won’t be

Wait. Could I maybe do instead where they can manipulate air? Like not enough to lift even a human person. Like maybe the most she can lift is a book?

I won’t do both, just one or the other

Again, as long as it’s subtle, yeah)

Name: Astrit Seldor
Age: 20
Birth gender and current pronouns: Female, she/her/they/them/he/him. (They're genderfluid.)
Sexuality: Demiromantic
Role in the circus: Snake Charmer
Species: A siren-like species, it doesn't have a name in English.
Appearance: Astrit has glittering gold scales on the left side of their face, their skin is a dark olive, it's quite exotic looking, really. Their eyes are an enchanting gold color with slits, just like a snake's eyes.
General Attire: They often wear gold and earth-toned cloaks, hiding a belt that was gifted from Blaze on their waist. The belt holds a gold-coated dagger and a sturdier, adamante one. They also have brown pants with a small gossamer skirt in the back.
Personality: Astrit is a quiet person with a soothing voice. They often sit back and watch people, not interacting unless they know that person and trust them. However, if you insult their friends, they will slap you.

Thankies

(Ah, I hate it when that happens )):

A friendly reminder that everyone must have their characters up by the end of today~

Name: Adelaide Juliet Carter, but she usually goes by Carter. Why? Because it gives her that badass vibe, you know?
Age: 18
Birth gender and current pronouns: Female, She/Her
Sexuality: She isn’t sure yet, but probably bisexual.
Role in the circus: Aerial Silks
Species: Human
Appearance:
Height: 5'2
Eye Color: Her eye color is a deep brown, with a dark circle around the iris.
Hair Color: Dark brown, average stuff. She never ties it, except for when she’s training.
General Features: Carter is skinny, but healthy. Her body type is average. She has shoulder-length chestnut hair, a round face with big brown eyes and large eyelashes, slightly thick, perfect shaped eyebrows and a few freckles on her cheekbones, but they’re barely visible.

General Attire: She usually wears jeans/leggings and over sized T-shirts with different messages on it. If it’s cold, you’ll see her wearing a hoodie with jeans, she’s pretty basic. Since Carter doesn’t really like bright colors, she often wears dark ones, like black, dark purple, dark red and dark blue. These are her favorite ones! At night, she usually wears dark red simple PJs. But but! She almost always wears her pale green jacket, is also has a white C on its back! She says it stands for Carter. She got it from Jeremiah on their 13th birthday.
Personality: Carter is usually quiet, she doesn’t enjoy being around people, excepting her brother. She’s very protective, even though Jeremiah is five minutes older than her. She can be found in her house, drawing or simply laying on her bed and staring at the ceiling. If she isn’t there, she's probably messing around with Jeremiah.
Quirks/Traits: She tends to pace back and forth when she’s thinking, anxious or scared. Carter can be too honest, unaware of the fact that the truth can hurt some people. When she’s nervous or embarrassed, she’ll twirl a strand of hair around her index finger. Carter has a blac, simple watch, but she carries it in her pocket instead of on her wrist. So, if anyone asks her what the time is, she’ll just yank out a watch out of one of her jacket’s pocket.
Backstory/How they joined the circus (optional):
Other: She has a twin brother named Jeremiah and I'm terrible at making characters.

(Is she okay? Also, I'm srry I took so long to make a character)
