Good to see you about.

[Kendra]

The forum is looking great.
Got my girl sent in so hopefully will be able to start making connections soon.
;D

[Black Howling]

Got my Strongman sent in.

If we're allowed more than one character, I'd love to add a second. I have a concept and face. If yes, would like to reserve Kevin Creekman

Maise Whitlocke
Act / Description of their role within Dreamland

NAME:  Maise Whitlocke

AGE:   33

GENDER: Female

SEXUAL ORIENTATION/PREFERENCE: Bisexual

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Maise is shorter then her brother, but is as densely packed with muscles as he is in comparison to her frame. Blonde hair that hangs down to her shoulders. She’s declined the tattoos her brother has gotten, combined with his beard leading to them looking different by a bit. Though if one puts them side by side the relationship is quite evident. More agile then her brother, she is closer to the gymnast he is not, though holds her own in terms of power.   

FACE CLAIM: Beth Phoenix

ROLE WITHIN DREAMLAND: Strongwoman – Twin act.

TALENTS: As a strongwoman, Maise is quite physically strong. Part of the act includes she and her brother lifting seemingly physically impossible objects. The act also includes balancing, tumbling and other such feats as well. When not performing, she can sometimes be found goading people into the hammer bell ring game, or at a booth for arm wrestling. She was more the mechanical one then her brother, and assists where needed in upkeep of equipment. She’ll also occasionally help roust problems around the fairgrounds.

HISTORY: Maise grew up on her parents farm in rural Montana, raised on the land and eventually helped take care of it. The farm was relatively quiet, run by their parents, a few hands, and her mother and father. She was blessed, as her brother was, with their fathers physical strength. Eventually this led to games between them where they would lift, toss, and do various things with what they were gifted with. She found she took more after Mom, and could be found chasing after her from an early age with her fisher price tool set, to help fix the tractors.

As they grew older, it was expected they would eventually take over the farm. When the parents fell ill, they tried everything they could to keep things afloat, but all it did was put them further into the banks pocket, entwining their fate to the risk. And it didn’t work.

Maybe it was the passing comment the bank officer made as they walked out of the house, maybe it was everything, but Maise saw red. It had happened before, when Jenny Gunderson insinuated she had lost her virginity to one of the horses on the farm and she put her head almost through a locker. It had happened before when one of the farm hands got too handsy and she broke his nose.  It happened again. She wasn’t even really aware of doing it but she left the hotel that same evening and followed the money man. The next thing she knew her brothers hand was on her wrist and her fist was soaked with his blood.

They left town that night, though she’d have stayed and faced the consequences. She was numb to the next few days…though if you were to ask her honestly she might say she liked it. The small amount of cash they had didn’t last long, though occasionally she would hustle a few arm wrestling contests at bars. More then one ended in a fight and if her brother noticed the bruises on her knuckles he didn’t say anything. 

They were cutting boredom with the starts of what would become their act when talent recruiter for a traveling carnival noticed them. They offered them a spot performing. Eventually the two agreed, and that started their overall career. They switched operations a couple times, not finding the right fit until they came to Dreamland about six years ago. It was here they found their fit, and they've been there every since.

ABE
Short Order Cook at the Fireside Grill

NAME:  He once had a name, but he lost it

AGE:   He counts no years, nor celebrates no birthdays, but he looks 40ish

GENDER: Cis Male

SEXUAL ORIENTATION/PREFERENCE: Heterosexual

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Abe is six foot four, hirsute and big everywhere with little flab, His eyes are dark brown and his hair is a surprising curly black. Were one to look at him closely, they might notice that his hands are constantly burned by the fire.  And he appears to be voiceless though he has no trouble communicating  His hearing is acute. Abe is Abe. 

FACE CLAIM: Rupert Boneham

ROLE WITHIN DREAMLAND: They help run the fairground / short order cook

TALENTS: There is very little that Abe misses from his central location and the willingness of others to speak candidly, even secretly in his presence.  But perhaps the most important thing about Abe is his belief in family and Dreamland. And dreamland is his family. He always seemed to be around when help was needed. He was fad.

HISTORY:  Abe and Milos met in an otherwise unoccupied southbound railroad boxcar 25 years ago.  The circus season was over and neither of them was important enough to stay on the payroll. So they were following the hobo route to Florida looking for work, two clueless lambs among among a pack of hungry wolves. By the time they got to Florida, each of them had saved the other's life. ...  And they were family.

(They may end up both of them with secrets, but not just yet)

Donato “Falco” Falco Driver / Stagehand.

NAME:  Donato Falco.

AGE:  26

GENDER: Cis male

SEXUAL ORIENTATION/PREFERENCE: Bisexual. Prefers women.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Falco stands at a trim, toned 5ft 8. Dark curly hair touching his collar and framing his face accentuates his sparkling blue eyes. In keeping with his Italian heritage he has a tendency to speak with his hands. Often found wearing black backstage, Falco scrubs up well and is fond of wearing shirts with jeans.

FACE CLAIM: Riccardo Scamarcio

ROLE WITHIN DREAMLAND: Fairground staff. Driver, stagehand.

TALENTS: With safe and sure driving skills, Falco gets people where they want to be on time and enjoys ferrying them around when they want to see the local sights. He doubles up as a stagehand and, although it isn’t his favourite aspect of his job, he plays his part in set-up and tear down with his hands-on attitude to life.

HISTORY: Falco was born in southern Italy but moved with his parents to northern Italy when his father got out of the fast-food and ice-cream shop industry and bought a hotel/restaurant on the shore of Lake Garda when Falco was six years old.

Naturally expected to work in the family business, Falco gained his driving licence early and undertook long-distance trips and local delivery of imported speciality foodstuff. His father named him ‘Donato’ which translates as ‘gift’ but Falco grew to hate the name after finding himself at loggerheads with his father and at odds with his rather religious mother.

(Snipped information)

When the circus came to town, Falco seized his chance to present his clean driving licence and, after learning the ropes working in two smaller circuses in Europe, joined Dreamland approximately six months ago. He speaks English well enough but people hear him coming with his cheerful Buongiorno! ringing out after around ten in the morning.

Interested. Saw the new board but wasn't sure if we're still supposed to express interest here first.

Is there going to be a limit on the number of performers/staff/customers?

Had a few ideas cooking.

[Captain Whitebread]

Looks like you’re in need of a doctor

Or at least a vet who stitches up people on the side. And a driver.

Are you still accepting applications?

Also damn you for tempting me when my plate is already full.

[Britwitch]

We are definitely still open and that sounds like an excellent idea for a character ;D

[TheLaughingOne]

I would like to place a face claim on Tom Sturridge while get some things worked out!
