Thomas Malenko's Traveling Menagerie! (Circus Sandbox)

[Bekah Boo]

      Even in your most quiet, most normal, most boring little town in middle America, where one can count on only the most humdrum of events taking place. There is always room to sneak in a little magic…

    It would happen on a quiet summer day in a quiet suburb, or rural town. After the sun set on another blissfully average day. Strangers would begin to arrive, and then something wonderful would happen. The next morning the streets would be alive with color, as every fence and power pole was smeared with flyers sporting words like ”AMAZING” “FABULOUS” “EXTRAORDINARY” and ”MYSTERIOUS”, words like you'd never find in the midst of such an otherwise ordinary, peaceful, sleepy….boring town.

    For the first time in ages, an average community is buzzing with curios chatter. Boring and tired people alive with wonder. An entire town on the edge of their seat to see what comes next. The next morning, in what was once an empty field just outside of town, there stood  huge colorful tents and trains of wagons. All erected like Jack's giant beanstalk overnight, and standing behind the brilliant banner welcoming all to…

Thomas Malenko's Travelling Menagerie!

 

Thomas Malenko

Player Name: Blueeyedbard
Name: Tom Malenko (formerly Thomas Watson)
Age: 39
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Leans heterosexual, but lands more in the middle of the spectrum
Circus Position: Ringmaster
MC- With almost a hypnotic suggestion over people, when he calls attention the people come. Maybe it's the way he speaks, or the air of mystery that surrounds the purveyor of the traveling circus. But his talent for getting people's attention, and holding it, is undeniable.

Mysterious- Tom is never short of tricks up his sleeve. Be it lighting up a room without flipping a switch, or just happening to have exactly the thing needed, sitting in his pocket waiting to be used… like that locket that your grandmother lost at sea almost fifty years ago...

Worldly- Having explored every hidden nook and hard to reach cranny the Earth has to offer comes with its benefits. Need someone who speaks Swahili? How about Latin, or ancient Greek or Egyptian? Ever heard of a tribe of lost people hidden in the darkest part of the Amazon? He's eaten dinner with them. Is there an actual pole, at the North Pole? He's hung his hat on it.
Whether it's meditating with mountain dwelling Shaolin monks, or sailing with actual pirates, it may really seem like he has done it all… and that badge that says “City of Atlantis Council Member”, that's just a joke, right?


Personality: Generally happy and positive to a fault, Tom will never give up on his dreams or the people that he has brought together. They are his friends, his family, and there isn't a one of them he wouldn't die for in an instant.
In a troop full of freaks and outsiders, he somehow manages to be the oddest man out. Who else can say that a “snake-man” has called them a weirdo? Or that they've leant a bearded lady their shaving kit?

He's most energetic when he is entertaining. The show is in his blood and his bones, so if Tom has something to do with it you can bet it'll be second to none in the world.
Off stage he can be more quiet and contemplative. With a whimsical smile played across his face while reading a book, or just staring up at the stars.

It may seem like there isn't a worried bone in his body, until his family or his business is threatened. Then the odd duck will turn into the fiercest tiger anyone might hope to see.

Background History: At one point or another every child has a dream of leaving real life behind and running away to join the circus. To ride the elephants, and tame the lions. Swing with the acrobats and enjoy a life of carefree wonder. Every child except Tom Watson, who was born in the circus, and took the first opportunity he had to run away.

The son of a lion tamer and the resident “mermaid”, Tom was raised by performers and grew up on the outside of society. For all intents and purposes he was the happiest boy you could hope to meet, so when his teenage years came around it wasn't a distaste for his home that drove him to leave. It was the belief that out there in the world were stories wonderful to tell, and sights amazing to see, all just waiting for someone like him to find them. He left with a suitcase of clothes and a wad of money in his pocket. No destination and no idea how to get there. Just a dream of what awaited him on his journey.

He sailed the widest seas and climbed the highest peaks, traversed the deserts and explored the darkest caves. He traveled to the eight corners of the world, met people and made friends with people who had never seen another person before, people who would hardly consider themselves people!
He ate dinner with kings and gambled with thieves, and all the while he sought out the most amazing secrets the world tried to hide.

When he returned to civilized society, Thomas Watson had become Tom Malenko. A change that invited as many puzzling questions as the story of why he wears a patch over his left eye. Some of his friends and performers heard he lost his eye while fighting with a native tribe to keep a group of settlers from defiling their sacred land. Others may tell a story about how he traded his eye to a witch so that he may live forever, and if he were to remove the patch you could see how you are going to die, played out where his eye should have been…. Some say his eye is just fine, and he wears the patch to look creepy and mysterious.
But what everyone knows is with the return of Thomas Malenko, came the birth Thomas Malenko's Travelling Menagerie!

Thoughts on the Performers: Tom sees each and every one of the performers in his show to be nothing short of family. He refuses to treat them with any form of disrespect, be it on a personal or professional level. He knows as well as anyone how it is to live on the outside of society, and how important it is to have a family that will be there for you through thick and thin.

Upon meeting each of the performers he would have gotten to know them personally, even to the extent of putting himself on the line for their sake, not to prove how much he wanted them for the show he was building, but rather to prove how important it is that everyone has a family they can rely on.

Personal On|Offs: Tom is a child of the world, infinitely open minded and patient there isn't a lot people do that turns him away. But hatred, hatred towards other people is something that doesn't sit well with him.

General Guidelines/Rules

All general rules that are upheld on this site will be in effect for this game, we've all been around here long enough to know what is right and wrong as far as interacting with one another. That being said, I will not tolerate drama.The first little snippet of it I will not hesitate to kick people out. In the past I've seen drama completely tear a story apart, so please for the sake of common decency just try to be respectful to others okay? That goes as well for the Discord chat (which will come later depending on enough interest), because come on...we're all adults so please act like it. If there are any issues don't hesitate to message me and I  will clear up the matter quickly.As far as posting length I want to maintain at least 3 to 4 paragraphs if not longer as my normal rules apply to this as well; no one liners and god moding. This will be a sand box sort of game whereas the entire premise is how the characters react to others and their current situations, the need for communication between all is key to have maximum enjoyment. Unsure of something? Ask away. Want to have a random scene with another player? Simply message them. We're all consenting adults here so if you wish to have something play out you simply just have to approach the intended party. If there is an issue however you are more than welcome to bring it up with myself and I will see to it that it is taken care of, so don't be afraid to approach me for anything.

I live in South Carolina so my time zone may vary compared to others, that being said I tend to post in the later afternoon going to the wee hours of the morning as I tend to not sleep all that well. Some posts may need to be paused in order to get into a routine though that doesn't mean we skip over due to an inactive partner. There may be posts that can further explain your own until we can move the story along, but try and be courteous to others given we are all in different time zones. That said as well I at least want one post a week from all players if not more, nothing too extreme but any inactivity longer than an week unless stated will result in a character being taken out in some form.

I will be accepting character sheets at all times so please send them to me in PM and not on the interest check, failure to do such will result in it not being accepted.Once I give you the go ahead you can post it here, but only after you are approved. I will review them as quickly as I can but do note that not everyone will be accepted; do not take this personally. I have been on this site for a while now and have figured out what writing styles work well with others or certain ideas, so if you are not accepted it is not personal merely it may not be the best fit. All genders and orientations are accepted naturally as this is about the everyday lives of those who live on the fringes of society, not what is in your pants.

I am also leaning towards placing this group in the extreme small groups, more so because of possibilities of it being graphic and over all scary; so better safe than sorry in my book really. There is also the chance of having darker themes in the day to day life of circus folks, especially given the stigma they carry for not fitting into normal society as the emotional dealings and potential repercussions of such may result in a few tougher scenes. This is all completely optional though as depending on a player's on and offs we will plan accordingly.  There is of course the possibility of sex in this game as for many sandbox games of this sort, that said consent is key. Each person involved must be aware even if their character is not, as failure to do so will result in the offending player being kicked out.

For this game the idea is a bit vague when it comes to actual magic or supernatural happenings, more so it is subtle magic or low fantasy as you will. It should be something that is on the down low when it comes to the normal paying customers, giving the idea to those who don't believe the thought that the circus people are nothing more than frauds and con artists. Those interested do however have to have some guidelines as far as their characters in that these people are human no matter how you spin it. So there is no halflings or supernatural beings or hybrids of animals that in the real world would not be possible, think more towards what a general circus or freakshow would provide. They play up oddities that come from more birth defects that could be seen as the abomination of beast and human, but the actual myth is much more potent than the reality of it. The characters in a sense are all actors in that they use what talents and abilities they have acquired and make a show of it all, hyping up their own strangeness in order to draw crowds in and of course bring more butts into seats.

Here is a rough example of what potential roles that are available for the circus, but as stated prior there is always room for suggestions;

Clowns | Entertainers
Fire eaters
Contortionists
Sword Swallower
Dare Devil
Animal tamers| Snake charmers etc
Acrobats| Ribbon Dancers
Freaks (Always message if there are questions)
Magicians|Illusionists
Knife throwers
Fortune Tellers| Physics
Strong Man/Strong Woman


The list really is just a short idea of what possibilities there are, and of course there can be more than one of them. The only real ones that are currently not available would be the fortune tellers; and of course the Ringleader.

Keeping an eye on this one (: Looks like it could be fun!

[Bibliophilia]

You know I'm already down and have a rough idea of my girl.  -settles in and waits.-

[BlueEyedBard]

I know I'm excited! 

[Amarlo]

I am certainly intrigued. ^^ I'll brainstorm and see if anything comes to mind.

Side note, what time frame is this set in? Also, are we doing Faceclaims strictly or can art be used?

I'm interested in doing a freak, thus far. ^^;

Glad to see you ;3

The time frame for the actual game would be set in the 70s, although the circus itself does carry a sort of timeless feel with so many characters all over. Not to mention the ring leader himself being the odd type that can seemingly fit in whatever era.

If at all possible I would prefer real face claims, though art can be accepted as well. The line I sort of stop at however would be anime or cartoons, but you can always send them and we can discuss it ;3

[Amarlo]

Cool! Thank you. Good to know, I will definitely use this information to brainstorm. I think with that I'll probably end up using a mix of FC and art, because finding a faceclaim of what I'm looking for exactly is going to be next to impossible. Either way, going to bed now. Hope to see more of this soon!

I trust you really so I'm sure you'll knock it out of the park regardless ;3
Take your time though as there isn't a huge rush at the moment. Oh trust me I know that game of finding a faceclaim all too well, the struggle is soooo real xD
No worries at all, we're still in the beginning stages of interest ;3

[CurvyKitten]

Ohhh been watching American horror story again and I'm on freak show. So this fits the current muse for sure!

Awesome, just send in a character sheet ;3

I thought I would throw out, if anyone is having trouble coming up with how their character meets Tom, you can feel free to shoot me a message and we can brainstorm things!

[Amarlo]

Oh! I hadn't realized he was your character. That'll make things much easier for plotting x3

[Caela]

This is an entirely intriguing concept! Will definitely see what the muse sparks to. :)

Feel free to message me if you have any questions as we’re all excited to see this up and running ;3

[Bibliophilia]

Oh!  Just so no one starts on a concept someone's already doing, we should probably state what we're making.

Bekah and I are working on fortune-teller/spiritualist twin sisters with a kind of channeling act that includes some contortionist elements.

Thank you Bibs ;3
Yes to the above of course, though the rest of the roles have potential for many to fill out the roster.
There is plenty of room for freaks and such in multiples as well as acrobats often are in teams of two or more, so if there is interest there be sure to ask around to see if there are others who wish to work together and all.

[Bekah Boo]

Still plenty of room to be had ;3
And like before all suggestions for characters can be messaged to me if so ;3

[BlueEyedBard]

I can't believe nobody has jumped in for trapeze artist yet!

[Bekah Boo]

Once we have a good cast going I will make a separate thread for character sheets, but for the time being all those that are accepted can post them here so we can show everyone all the fun ;3

This is my strange twin xD

Player Name: Bekah Boo
Name: Serefina Deblanc
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Circus Position: Part of a Fortune Telling duo with her twin sister | The Sorcière sisters

Tasseography- Serefina's specialty is reading the leaves or dregs of tea to interpret the fortune of the customers's future, shortcomings, and potential. It is often said within the leaves the symbols represented can come as a warning to the unsuspecting soul who wishes to know what fate has in store for them, Serefina choosing this route unlike her sister's palm reading for many reasons. A person's spirit is easier read with the transcendence of the soul which she firmly believes starts within the mind rather than the heart, the brief transfer from mind to mouth allowing Serefina to latch onto this invisible thread that is spelled out within the dregs. The mouth and mind is what writes a person's future unlike the lines of the palm defining past, but Serefina's shyness does tend to not interfere as much when reading the leaves. Actual touching she can leave to her sister.

Channeling the spirit- Both twins possess the ability to channel a spirit using their own forms as a vessel to communicate with the living, actively opening themselves to becoming a living medium for a short time. Both take turns with actually becoming the containment the spirit inhabits as the process does take immense strength and is quite taxing after repeated rounds, with one opening the dialogue while the other tethers it to the human realm. During this process it is not uncommon to find the vessel undergo intense spasms and contortion of the body, the spirit essentially 'flexing' and testing out a living body for what in many cases has been decades. The one channeling may also engage in activities that they are not aware of or have previous knowledge of IE: Speaking a different language, advanced terminology of a subject (The botanist couldn't help but spread her voice of exotic plants during her call) etc.This does take a tremendous amount of energy and often after a show either twin may find themselves sluggish and drained as a result.

Psychic Connection- As close as the twins are to one another their connection does go deeper than that of siblings, a link that many attribute to being twins with their bond to each other. Both the girls are able to physically feel the other's emotions, although the range of such has never truly been explored, Serefina able to sense her sister's current emotions with the touch of her mind brushing her sibling's. Anger can be felt as a hot scorch of sudden heat while sadness is more defined by the cool sensation of flowing water, Serefina's descriptions of such making it seem rather trivial in comparison to how it can actually feel.

Personality: In comparison to her twin, Serefina is much more reserved and can be seen as the meeker of the two. Soft spoken and quiet she much prefers to simply observe others as they go about their business, curious in nature it is when she does open her mouth that her oddness makes itself quite clear. Without a hint of hesitation or filter Serefina often fails to see how her rather blunt words could be misconstrued to upset others around her, as whatever idle thoughts she has will come tumbling out even if it isn't the most proper of subjects. Along with the limited exposure of other social influences she does appear like quite the odd duck, although she means no real ill will from it all, merely she hasn't learned the graceful nuances of interaction apart from her twin. What Serefina is known for is being the warm soul whom anyone can easily talk to, always the leaning force and just the right ear to not judge those around her she can be a comforting presence; so long as she doesn't try to comment on the subject.
Background History: Life before the circus is often described by Serefina as something akin to a distant dream, the remembrance still there and yet it truly feels as though it has been a lifetime ago. The circus itself has a way of bending the reality of time for all those involved as the twin's background has long been a matter that holds little value, that to Serefina she feels it is a chapter within her life that is best left in the past. The depression era had taken a huge toll on many during it's time as even the gulf coast was not spared, there was simply no means of an economy and therefore those who were struck the hardest were those already living on the fringes of society. Born deep within the bayous of famed Louisiana the twins birth back in the day brought many intriguing eyes to the already bustling family, the daughters of a hard working fisherman and maid who already had a handful of children as it was. The isolation of the swamps truly made the community thrive upon the rumor mill to pass the time and with every passing year the twins were often brought up in conversation, their oddness beginning at an early age.

The twins were inseparable from one another since their birth as the seemingly inappropriate doting they had for one another made others wary of their presence, especially when childish talks of 'speaking' to spirits began to arise. As children it wasn't uncommon to find the girls quietly sitting off by themselves and seemingly have talks to something unseen, the longer such went on the more their strangeness became. Using the natural foliage that were in abundance in the bayou the twins were able to use their abilities in ways many had only heard rumors of before, the act of sensing one's future and past a grave curiosity, but one that seemingly made the girls of some use; to both their family as well as the folks within the community.  Growing up impoverished meant great stress to the already large family even with their father's back breaking labor, the too many mouths to feed enlisting the twins to make their own profit as a means to aide their family's finances by doing readings for the amusement of paying customers.

By the time the twins had reached their teens however the clear uncertainty the community felt about them became much more obvious, that while they did provide a service that for some helped comfort and what not, the girls were not as accepted in a social sense. That so long as they had use they would be tolerated and yet to actually fraternize with the strange young women was a step no one would dare take upon themselves, the whispers of witchcraft and hexes long scaring off the potential of proposals to leave them further ostracized in their community. After all many girls their age had long been married off with children of their own clutching their skirts, the twins essentially 'old maids' within the bayou despite the futile attempts Serefina longed to find a connection with another than just her sister.  One particular instance of a young man Serefina had admired further churned the rumor mill with the twin's otherworldly effect, the boy having spurned the young woman's feelings to find himself struck with a sudden sickness, that despite no wrong doing on their part it would be a stain upon them among whispering mouths.

So when the odd man lavish in his knowledge and excitement appeared upon the porch of the DeBlac home it had been all too easy for the twins to agree to be in his employment, that perhaps without their presence their family would no longer be under the pressure of the twin's famed cursory by the community that had began to grow tired of them. The rest is simply history and for Serefina she likes to keep it that way.
Thoughts on the Ringleader: As far as Serefina is concerned she admires the ringleader greatly, his otherworldly knowledge so accepting of the oddities around him truly resonating with the strange young woman. It truly feels as though he does care deeply for all those around him, treating each as though they are family, as she witnesses the lengths he goes for everyone's comfort. He is a person she holds much respect for, perhaps only a tier lower than her own twin.

[Bibliophilia]

Player Name: Bibliophilia
Name: Sabine DeBlanc | The Sorciere Sisters
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Pansexual
Circus Position: Spiritualist/Fortune-Teller
Channeling - Sabine can communicate with spirits, either calling on them to possess her sister and speak through her, or opening herself to the possession of an other-worldly being so they can speak through her.

Palmistry - More art and intuition than anything one could easily quantify, Sabine knows how to read the lines in a person's palm and use the distinctive pattern to interpret events that have happened in their life.  She can follow their love line and pinpoint the heartbreak that weighs heavy on their heart, or travel the path of their career etched into their skin and see where they should have followed it.  Many might view her ability to know and analyze the past in a person's palm as pure guesswork, but those who come to her with regrets, guilt and indecision more often than not leave better for it.

Psychic Connection - Sabine and her beloved sister share a connection that goes beyond the natural.  They can know one another's feelings without being told, share common sensations at a distance and it's impossible to tell sometimes where one sister ends and the other begins.

Personality: The more outspoken and brash of the two sisters, Sabine is also the more cynical and misanthropic of the pair.  Her views on marks range are that they are pathetic at best and vicious, petty and cruel at worst.  Anyone outside of the circus over the age of fourteen, and some under, are to be either pitied or reviled.  However, she is fiercely protective of her sister and quite warm and caring for those she considers her friends.  She loves to spend time with her fellow circus entertainers and is quite charming, despite the often jaded way she views the world beyond the tents and lights.

Background History: Sabine was born mere seconds ahead of her sister in their parent's bedroom in the small shack where their brothers and sisters had been born before them.  The twins were not so much unwanted as simply unfortunate, not unloved so much as simply lost in the crowd.  They had one another, which meant that they did not chirp for attention the way their siblings did, so they were most often left to their own devices.

As they grew older, they became closer and closer, needing no one but one another and knowing that their parents were already burdened enough by their siblings.  However, the strange bond they shared, the sheer dint of their twinning, and the fact that they often had chats with 'ghosts' - not to mention the things they learned from those spirits - ensured they would be viewed by the superstitious swamp folk as otherworldly and potentially dangerous.

Still, their abilities to see into the future and the past gave them a unique gift that Sabine eventually decided to capitalize on.  She convinced - some might say dragged along - her sister to join her in telling fortune and selling 'potions' to their neighbors as a means of supplementing the familial coffers.  The community already viewed the girls as witches - or worse - and rumors of them dancing naked in the swamp beneath the full moon, cavorting with demons and riding alligators already circulated, so why not turn the rumors to their advantage?

Mostly they told fortunes, though they also sold bogus potions for cursing one's enemoies or casting a love spell on someone.  Another of Sabine's genius ideas, which Serafina wasn't exactly in love with.  And she was, of course, right.  Because when a boy Serafina'd had her eye on, one who rejected her advances, suddenly took ill and perished mysteriously, it was the potions that really made the community look askance on the twins.

They were in their late teens when the dashing circus ringmaster appeared on the doorstep of the crowded, ramshackle shack in search of the mysterious and potentially mystical DeBlanc twins.  It took hardly any convincing whatsoever for the girls to leave their old life behind to run off to the circus with him.  After all, here was someone who wasn't just saddled with them, but wanted them.  Someone who didn't fear their gifts, but enthused over them.

Thoughts on the Ringleader: Sabine has come to trust Thomas Malenko nearly as much as she trusts her sister.  He saved them from their dreary lives and gave them something amazing.  He never makes them feel like they are evil or strange, at least not in a bad way, and he is kind to Serafina.  Sabine doesn't entirely understand him, as his past is a riddle to her in ways she has never experienced before, but that's part of the thrill and the allure, isn't it?

Hey Bekah. Of course you bring about another amazing story line that I just cant pry my eyes from.  So as always, Bravo on that account! As for joining, I am definitely interested if you'll have me. I was thinking Magician unless that has been claimed already.

[Mellific]

Color me interested. I would consider making a female contortionist/acrobat and a male illusionist. If that's taken, I can consider other options.

[Bekah Boo]

Glad to see you both!
We can certainly use an illusionist and magician, perhaps even a dueling competition.
Feel free to send in CSs and we can see where to go from there ;3

[Mellific]

Yay! My character was approved. Here she is:

Daisy Ives

Player Name: Mellific
Name: Daisy Ives
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Circus Position: Contortionist
Talent - Extreme Flexibility - Daisy can frontbend and backbend, can do the splits and overplits, and can dislocate her joints to make herself even more fluidly,

Talent - Experienced Gymnast - Daisy has studied the art of gymnastics since she first discovered that she could do a headstand. She moves fluently

Talent - Tightrope and Trapeze - Daisy can do contortion while balancing on the tightrope and while twirling in the air on fixed trapeze.

Personality: Daisy is welcoming and accepting of all people. She knows that her craft makes some squirm or wrinkle their noses, and she doesn't mind. In fact, she grew up with disapproving looks, so she is more than used to ignoring them. Besides, they can't help staring, whether they like it or not, and that always makes Daisy feel like she's doing her job.
Background History: Daisy's life was nothing short of picturesque when she was growing up. She had a nice home with a nice family who owned their own nice business. Her parents expected that she would carry on the family business, but Daisy had other plans. Her parents never took her flexibility seriously, but agreed to let her take gymnastic classes after she broke a few pieces of furniture in their home, by romping around and 'practicing.' As she got older, she moved up in the ranks and began performing on the street for money. Someone discovered her and told her about the circus. It took her a long time to earn enough money to not only travel, but to also find Thomas Malenko's circus. Once she did, she knew that she was right at home.
Thoughts on the Ringleader: Daisy greatly respects and admires the Ringleader, Thomas Malenko. She has been known a time or two to try and capture his attention during her performances.

So far we have a pair of Psychics, our Ringleader and an Acrobat/Contortionist ;3

Still plenty of roles left and more fun to be had xD
