Occult De Meveilles
Love Potion Number Nine
Name:Anchal
Age:30
Act: Miracle Remedies, per The Gypsy Doctor
Physical Appearance: Anchal is the typical Hollywood gypsy beauty. She is gifted with hazel eyes and mocha skin, long jet black hair that has never been dyed, primped, curled, sprayed or blow dried. She's of average height, of slim and natural build. She never eats meat, fat, starch.. the woman is a straight vegan through and through, so to say the woman looks good for her age is an understatement. She doesn't wear make up. She does: wax her arm pits and legs. If asked though, she might just lie and say she was never even born with body hair in said areas. Anchal wears a gold tooth cap when she sells her wares, and is always caught in clothes made of vibrant colorful silks, jingling charms, and a boat load of gold.
Personal Traits: Opinionated, protective, cycnical, curious and cool headed. A side talent of hers, she likes to macrame.
Life Before: Anchal was raised by hippie parents, literally. She stayed in a van for most of her life before the carnival, after her parents died. Her mother and father always stressed the importance of homeopathic medicine and 'sticking to nature'. Unfortunately in the city, there isn't much of a market for sticking to nature. She joined Garricks Carnival under the conditions that she would come out with a new, miracle worthy homeopathic remedy every month. They are expensive and unusual, ranging from love potions to psychadelics.

The Truth can cost a fortune..
Name: Runa Cardei
Age: 24
Act:The Fortune Teller
Physical Appearance:

Runa started out life as that strange girl, with legs to long and breasts that did want to come in. But soon as she grew so it seemed did her body. Her figure filling out to a voluptuous and full frame. Her tan skin nearly completely unmarked except for a scar over her heart. Causing a paled half moon scar to remain. And what looks to be a brand on her left hip, both their origins are still unknown to those around her.

Personal Traits:
Bold and brave She isn't shy or weak willed, and never one to be afraid to say what she really thinks or what she really wants.
Intuitive Before she even really understood her gift, Runa was always able to read people and used that to con her way to just about anything she wanted.
Willy Quick to react and come up with unexpected plans of action.
Passionate In most anything she does it is clear Runa has that her heritage is known for. Though beware as hell half no fury like a woman scorned.
Loyal Runa doesn't allow many people to get close, to really get to know her. It takes time to earn her trust, but when you do she will always have your back.
Singing Runa is known for her beautiful voice, and when she does sing there isn't many that can resist listening.

Life Before: Runa's start to life was interesting to say the least. Even at a young age she had a gift for seeing or knowing what others didn't know. Predicting her grandmother's death, to telling her mother her father was seeing another woman without ever seeing it, knowing how certain things would come out. It all freaked out her parents so much that they ended up putting Runa in the hospital. The doctors chalking up her gift as nothing more that a disillusion or some physiological disorder. Staying stuck there till she was 16, the day they took the more well behaved patients on a day trip. It was than she made her move and escaped from the hold of the system.

From there Runa used her gift and her own wits to get what ever she wanted in life. From clothes, to food and even logging. There didn't seem to be anything she couldn't get. It wasn't till she was 19 and she tried to con the wrong man that she ended up on the bad end of a con gone wrong. That night is not something she speaks about. But one can only image what happened to her from the state she was found in. Several days later Runa awoke laying in a bed at the Carnival. Apparently being found and brought to doctors they had. At first she kept wondering what they wanted from her. But slowly she realized that they were just as weird and misplaced as she was. And grew to not only enjoy and love her crazy make shift family, but also worked and developed her gift.

The Cannibal
Name: Johnny
Age:29
Act: The Cannibals Kitchen
Physical Appearance:http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q682/Elly-Mae_Hall/e8b10893-34cd-4879-b529-7c03a23112d0_zps41956948.jpg
Personal Traits: Brutal, a little twisted, a real man's man. The Cannibal has half an education, he is fearless and exceptionally good at cooking, if you're into human flesh.
Life Before: Johnny has managed to cram a lot in his near thirty years of life. The first twelve years of his life, he grew up in New Orleans with his foster father and little sister.. alone. For those twelve years he was a recluse with only the two family members. His surrogate parent was a pervert, a man who preyed on Johnny's little sister as she grew older. He filed the childrens teeth to fine points throughout their early lives (a ritual not forgotten) and kept them that way feeding them meat and meat alone. Sometimes, animal. Most times, not. Johnny was very well more farm hand than son, knowing what hard work was from the day he turned seven.. One hot august day his sister was murdered by the foster father. Johnny ate both sister and foster father. Unable to be convicted or sentenced, he was in and out of family homes, making many meals out of many men for about four years. He was then enrolled to work in the militiary. He's stayed in the country side working as a labourer, in non descript slaughter houses once his time for service came to an end, as he doesn't like the city. Once his modest little murder ranch was discovered, he used his wiles to flee and join the Carnival Du Diable, a place protected almost like magic, it seemed. Now he eats four times a week, the same diet he's been living off since he was just a boy.


The Burlesque
Name:Sandra
Age:25
Act: Her nick name is Cherry Red Camaro
Physical Appearance:http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q682/Elly-Mae_Hall/5f8b137e-2986-4bb8-b548-e6eaaca53a76_zps8d99c7e7.jpg
Personal Traits: Quick witted, Brutally honest, Cocky, and territorial. Promiscuous. She's a hell of a masseuse, to boot.
Life Before: Sandra's life is nothing too far from the rest of the girls. She was raised in a multi generational home, with many siblings and an uncapable single mother, who brought different men home most every week. The red head has drawn quite an unrealistic expectation of what men should be like, and in turn tends to eat them alive. She became a stripper as soon as she turned eighteen, a very good one at that. She's made a lot of money, made a lot of bad choices. Garrick found her on a business trip, made her an offer she couldn't refuse. Since then she has been a fixture in The Afficheur.

This might sting a little..
Name: Charles Bomban
Age: 24
Act: The Medic
Physical Appearance:
1m97, 150 pounds. He's a very tall man, short black hair. The left side of his face is hidden with a mask akin to that of the Phantom of the Opera due to someone throwing an acid in his face because of a botched operation, as payback. He has 5 piercings through his right ear and two through his right eye brow. He wears regular scrubs and a white apron that always seemed to be stained with blood. He has some other scars related to bar brawls but nothing major.
Personal Traits: Arrogant, a wise-ass, highly gifted, unable to feel emotions, cool headed. Besides his actual medical profession, he has additional PhDs in physics, chemistry and psychology. He also dabbles in alchemy.
Life Before: Charles was a wonderboy. He skipped high school and was allowed to attend his pre-med university at only 14. He attained his MD when he was only 18. He then completed a surgery education. He worked in a prestigious hospital. Nothing suited his urge for knowledge, not even his work. This led to him researching and experimenting in other science branches. This quickly led to him attaining honorary PhD's in Physics, Chemistry and Psychology due to certain doctoral dissertations. However, his additional researched took a toll on him and he barely slept at all. When assigned a routine surgery after staying awake for over 50 hours, researching the effects of a new drug, led to him killing his patient. His license was stripped for his actions and he stuck to research. And one day, during research in a lab, a young girl came to him. She screamed at him for killing her little brother and threw the first thing she could grasp at him. A beaker of acid. Being rushed to the hospital saved his face but he had immense disfiguring scars on the left side of his face. Everywhere Charles went people yelled at him, cursed him out because of how he killed the small boy in the operation room. The people staring at his face was a constant reminder. He was picked up by Garrick to take care of his personnel in exchange for taking Charles away from the common world ... and the materials to keep experimenting.
