There is a place where nightmares lie and the frightening gather. There is place where only the bravest venture; where the disfigured make their home. This is a place of chaos, yes, but also a place of intrigue and mystery.
The Freak Show lies on the outskirts of District One in an old field that proper society has long-since abandoned. Only two types of people venture here: the fabulously wealthy seeking entertainment (or more often not, destruction), and the rejected, broken eccentrics hoping for a second chance. These people come from all walks of life. Some come from rich parents too ashamed to present them to the public. Others seemed to have crawled out of the very shadows that cloak the earth. Regardless of their origins, however, each of them has one thing in common: they are beautifully insane and incredibly strange.
They live a carnival life. They take pleasure in the business of entertaining bored careers and wealthy associates. And they use their stage to lure in entertainment that is far bigger than their own individual talents.
In this show, there are no rules...and there certainly aren't any morals.
Welcome to the FREAK SHOW
All freaks are welcome! If you want to apply, simply choose a character below or make up your own (must include the quality that makes them a "freak", a very brief backstory, and any ideas you might have) and apply. This is not first come, first serve. I will be looking at your apps very carefully. Please don't just use the character descriptions to make your character. I want to see some creativity here! This is supposed to be a very fun plot, and it can be very large if people are interested. If you have a good ideas for a freak not described below, I'll probably approve you, Obviously you can make these characters tribute eligible if you want. I'm not too picky, I just want to see people have some fun! Also I realize there is already a circus plot in D2. I want this one to be different, so please try to refer to that thread and try not to repeat their abilities. Keep in mind that these characters are insane, and are more readily murderers. So while their abilities are important, and I want to see some details, your focus should be on how these abilities play into their sadistic tendencies (and yes they can be in denial, if that's what you desire). May the freaks be ever in your favor. >
REMEMBER: THE MAIN DIFFERENCE IS THAT THIS CIRCUS IS AN ELABORATE COVER FOR MURDER AND VIOLENCE. WE ARE NOT JUST "FREAKS" HERE, WE ARE INSANE, PSYCHO, AMERICAN HORROR STORY-ESQUE FREAKS.
The Cast
ELSA MARS - AKA "ISOLDE VASSKA" - 18 - QUEEN OF THE SHOW - PLAYED BY MEGHAN
"Elsa" comes from a wealthy career family whose greatest desire was that she would go into the games and bring them glory. This star-crazed wannabe had different plans, however, and decided that show business was the career for her. This always caused conflict in her honor-seeking family. "Elsa" often felt rejected and unloved because of their cruel behavior. When she lost the lower half of each of her legs in a freak accident at the age of 14, her family lost all interest in her and abandoned her in the streets to die. "Elsa" never tells anyone how she survived after that, and instead mostly just pretends that she doesn't have a deformity. Thankfully before her family got rid of her, they bought her a pair of shiny wooden legs. Today she lives in the Freak Camp and oversees the whole show. She loves everyone who is considered a misfit, a freak, or an animal and hates everyone else. Her love of money, however, outweighs her bitterness against what she considers "high society", and she is willing to sell tickets to the wealthiest people within the district. Only to provide a whole separate kind of entertainment of course... After all, Mama Bear always provides for her cubs. No matter what the cost.
MAGGIE ESMERELDA - AKA "HALLOW OSIRIS" - AGE? - FORTUNE TELLER - PLAYED BY LALIA
"Maggie" likes to mess with people. She claims she is a fortune teller, but really she just uses this cover as an excuse to get people to a) get ridiculous amounts of money out of them and b) reveal their darkest secrets. Unlike the other freaks, "Maggie" doesn't have much interest in murdering the people she victimizes. Instead "Maggie" likes to slowly drive her victims to their own suicides by taking their secrets and manipulating their lives in such a way to drive them to insanity. Hide yo wives, hide yo kids, and hide yo husbands too because nobody is safe with this con artist around.
SALEM - AKA "SALEM" - 18 - FORTUNE TELLER/WITCH - PLAYED BY ELEGANT
DESIREE DUPREE - AKA "NAME HERE" - AGE? - THREE-BREAST WONDER -PLAYED BY ?
From a young age, "Desiree" always made her money through prostitution. After all, what real use does a three-breasted women have in this world? "Desiree" quickly grew bitter of her poor father's rule over her (he was the one who sent her into the streets in the first place), and murdered him in the dead of night. She has since fled to the Freak Camp in hope of starting anew and leaving her past behind.
JIMMY DARLING - AKA "NAME HERE" - AGE? - MUTATED HANDS - PLAYED BY ?
Jimmy, and his mother Ethel, have always been outcasts in the society. Jimmy was born with deformed hands, aka 'lobster claws', and could never get women to fall for his down-to-earth charm. He can get them to fall... in other ways, however. When not performing, Jimmy lends is hands out to the benefit of wealthy women. He still feels horribly bitter towards the majority of society, however, as they scorn him and call him a freak on a regular basis. He's not against taking things into his own 'hands', if you will...and he certainly is known for losing his temper now and again.
ETHEL DARLING - AKA "NAME HERE" - AGE? (must be 40+) - BEARDED LADY - PLAYED BY ?
"Ethel" is not generally prone to violence. She was cast out of society at the onset of puberty due to the whiskers that sprouted on her chin. She's not afraid to be herself, however, and in fact is rather proud of her beard. She thinks it's what makes her truly different from the rest of the world. She's not particularly violent, but isn't opposed to forcing her son to make them money. If "Ethel" could be described as anything, it is that she is the grandmother of the group. She loves each of the freaks, and dotes upon them constantly. And she reveres "Elsa" above all others.
STANLEY - AKA NICABAR "STANLEY" GYPSY - 18 - CON ARTIST/THEIF - PLAYED BY GHOSTY
"Stanley" is an enigma to the rest of the group. He's not particularly loud, and he's not particularly talented. He doesn't really have a talent that he can represent on stage. In fact, nobody know what makes him a freak. He just decided one day that he liked it at the camp, and has never left since. Some say he's up to something. Others think he is just looking for company. "Stanley" certainly is the most mysterious of the group, and he likes it that way.
Ghosty's description: Basically, the con artist of the group likes, first and foremost, his privacy. His relatively short life of eighteen years has been hard on him, which left him out of the career centers and onto the streets. Then the camp came around, and he felt he had a place again in the world. His main "talent" is theft, which can't really be shown on stage. He's in the crowds, and he steals valubles from the visitors. He loves this, and has mastered this trough his life on the street. Although he is basically backstaff, he's not uncommon to the main link to the group; murder. He isn't a freak as such, but is treated as one, now that his home is with them.
DANDY MOTT - AKA "NAME HERE" - AGE? - FREAK-WANNA-BE - PLAYED BY ?
"Dandy" isn't a freak so much as he is a wannabe. He thinks the residents of the camp are his personal play things, and more than once has offered to buy them as human-size toys. He has a particular obsession with "Dot and Bette Tattler", and hopes to win them as his own one day. Mostly, "Dandy" is just incredibly bored with his high-profile, socialite life and desires to have an actual role in society. Unfortunately, this leads him highly vulnerable to manipulation, especially from a certain, wide-smiled clown...
GLORIA MOTT - AKA "NAME HERE" - AGE? (40+) - FREAK-WANNA-BE - PLAYED BY ?
"Gloria" loves her boy "Dandy" and would do absolute anything for him. Including buying him his toys, no matter what the cost for her. She wants her child to have the best, and will stop at nothing to get it for him. She despises the freaks, but will humor them for the sake of her precious son.
DELL TODELO - AKA "NAME HERE" - AGE? - STRONGMAN - PLAYED BY ?
"Dell" is power-hungry and determined to usurp "Jimmy." He is one of the strongest careers that District One has ever seen, and he only hangs out with the freaks because he thinks he can control them.
BETTE TATTLER - AKA "NAME HERE" - AGE? - CONJOINED TWIN - PLAYED BY ?
"Dot" and "Bette Tattler" think themselves as innocent. Their mother hid them for the majority of their life because of their appearance. On the outside, they look like one girl with two heads. On the inside, they couldn't be more different. "Bette" is starstruck and hopes to be in the spotlight one day. "Dot", on the other hand, is conniving and scheming and does not trust the majority of the world. They both have violent tendencies too. "Bette" is in denial, believing she could never hurt a fly. "Dot", on the other hand, knows that she is evil and knows that everyone else is unworthy.
DOT TATTLER - AKA "NAME HERE" - AGE? - CONJOINED TWIN - PLAYED BY ?
"Dot" and "Bette Tattler" think themselves as innocent. Their mother hid them for the majority of their life because of their appearance. On the outside, they look like one girl with two heads. On the inside, they couldn't be more different. "Bette" is starstruck and hopes to be in the spotlight one day. "Dot", on the other hand, is conniving and scheming and does not trust the majority of the world. They both have violent tendencies too. "Bette" is in denial, believing she could never hurt a fly. "Dot", on the other hand, knows that she is evil and knows that everyone else is unworthy.
TWISTY THE CLOWN - AKA "ARIK" - 18 - MURDEROUS CLOWN - PLAYED BY KOUSEI
"Twisty" doesn't belong to the freak show, but he does spend a frequent amount of time on their camp. Occasionally, a freak or two shows up missing, but nobody knows who is behind their disappearance. "Twisty" lives a few miles away from the camp, in a run-down school bus. Sometimes, late at night, visitors to the surrounding woods can hear screaming and sobbing coming from the vicinity of his lair. Nobody dares to visit him, however. It may be the last thing they do.
PEPPER - AKA "NAME HERE" - AGE? - MICROCEPHALY - PLAYED BY ?
It was easy to tell that there was something wrong with Pepper from an early age. She suffers from a medical condition that makes her head smaller than average. As a result, she is not the brightest crayon in the box. She's easily manipulated, and goes along with others schemes simply because they are paying attention to her. She never knew what it was like to be loved until she ran away from home to join the Freak Show.
THE GEEK - AKA "WREN PAUL" - 12 - EATS THE HEADS OF ANIMALS - PLAYED BY AILERA
The Geek is the youngest member of the show, and perhaps the most disturbing. His greatest pleasure is biting off the heads of animals...while they are still alive. Rumor has it, animals aren't the only thing he eats... The Geek otherwise appears normal, but once you get to know him he may be the weirdest freak of all.
MA PETITE - AKA "NAME HERE" - AGE? - EXTREMELY TINY - PLAYED BY ?
Ma Petite is far smaller than the average human. There is no way to measure if she is the smallest women alive, but she certainly looks like it compared to the rest of the camp. She acts like a small child the majority of the time, demanding to be carried from place to place. She's not actually violent, and is only with the Freak Show because she can't fit in anywhere else.
AMAZON EVE - AKA "NAME HERE" - AGE? - EXTREMELY TALL - PLAYED BY ?
The first thing you have to know about "Amazon Eve" is that she wasn't born a girl. She's actually transgendered, and has identified as a female from an early age. Her parents rejected her the minute they found out this secret, and so she ran away to find a crowd who would accept her no matter what. "Amazon Eve"'s greatest advantage is her height. At 7 feet tall, she towers above everyone else.
LEGLESS SUZI - AKA "SUZETTE 'LILY' MOREAU" - 20-30 - LEGLESS - PLAYED BY ARX
"Legless Suzi" is a perfectly functioning girl, other than the fact that she doesn't have any legs. Her parents decided to get them amputated at the age of three because they were highly deformed. Unlike the other freaks, "Legless Suzi" comes from a loving and caring family. She still visits them on occasion, but she prefers to hangout with the freaks because they are the only ones who truly understand her. Like "Ma Petite", Legless isn't particularly violent. She sticks around the camp because she hopes to bring the other freaks back to reality.
PAUL THE ILLUSTRATED SEAL - AKA "NAME HERE" - AGE? - PHOCOMELIA IN BOTH ARMS - PLAYED BY ?
"Paul the Illustrated Seal" is loyal only to the Freak Show. Most of society has laughed at him because he can't properly control a weapon, and his arms are incredibly tiny. He has a powerful kick, however, and prides himself in his ability to murder despite his special abilities. Paul thinks of himself as tougher than the other freaks, and has decorated his body from the neck down with violent tattoos.
EDWARD MORDRAKE - AKA "NAME HERE" - AGE? - TWO-FACED MAN - PLAYED BY ?"Edward" is a man with two sides. For the most part, he is kind and gentle and loyal to those who are nice to him. On the other hand...or should we say...the other face, he has a horrible temper and the tendency to slaughter anyone who makes him angry. "Edward" has two faces. One in the front, and one sticking out of the back of his head. Nobody has been able to confirm it, but it's rumored that his backward face whispers evil things to him in the dead of night, prompting his murderous sprees.
IDENTITY - AKA "NAME HERE" - AGE? - TALENT? - PLAYED BY ?
Apply for an original freak! Please keep in mind their back-story, their special ability, and their title. Also remember that more likely than not they are very sadistic and like violence and/or death.
