Cirque de Noir - Living for the Night

They aren't just my issues. Those powers are godmodding/power play, you can literally take any character and make them something they aren't. Which in my book is bullshit. Why waste time trying to sugar coat it?

I'm just sayin, you didn't have to be so damn blunt about it. Coulda just said - "Oh hey, I think your characters powers are a little over the top, can you change em?" - Boom, that's it. Don't attack me like I'm doin anythin wrong. You think it's godmodding, fine. Just don't go off and use unnecessary language to get your point across. There's other civil ways to do it.

Cirque de Noir - Living for the Night

Name: Abraham Tanner

Stage Name: Bane the Dark Ringmaster
Gender: Male
Age: Appears in his late twenties under the mask, but is in fact 354
Role in the Circus: Most trusted assistant to Madame Sombre - Ringmaster

Magic:
Clairempathy - The user can detect emotional resonances from other locations and people. They can also perceive emotions across species, as well as from the spirit world and (if strong enough) the realms of the divine. It allows them to understand introverts or discover if one emotion is actually hiding another.

Illusive Apperance - Most users who are not exactly combat savvy would use their ability as a defense mechanism to camouflage themselves, and even alter their physical appearance to look like someone or something else. (Flaw is: A perfect illusion is not possible) Tanner personally uses this ability to transform certain body parts into what the viewer would like or not like to see. For example: If he senses a child fears his appearance, he would transform or alter his face into that of a bunny or cute animal.

Reason for Joining Cirque de Noir: Selling one's soul for one's personal desires is noted as a sin. In the case of Tanner, this sin was to grant himself vision beyond his own. His desire was for knowledge, the greed of all human kind.

Past Life:
It was 1682 when Tanner - at that time known as Giovanni - came in contact with Madame Sombre. But before that time, Giovanni was a simple advocate of religious freedom. He was well known for his philosophy of the creation of Earth and how it came about in regards to the Bible and a higher power. His philosophy spread through the Providence of Pennsylvania, founded by William Penn at that time. But his written papers and extraordinary details did not make him a fortunate living. He survived off his own crops like many of the farmers in that decade - Tanner was not a farmer.

It was not until the near end of November when he met Madame Sombre, an older gentlewoman. After giving an intended speech about the possibilities of two Gods, Tanner was pushed away with booing from the crowd. Madame Sombre approached him at that time, noting that his downfall here did not correlate with the rest of his future. She lifted his spirits by stating that this one roadblock would not stop his studies and philosophical concepts. That he should allow his wings to spread and pierce the heavens as though they were at fingertip reach.

But that was not all she said. That day was the day his entire life spanned above the limitless. It was the day that proved to Tanner that his entire life was not a lie. He witnessed Madame Sombre do the impossible, granting him eternal life and a second gift - the gift to witness and alter a person's subconscious. It was triggered by the recipient's own eye contact. If one is to look into Tanner's eyes for a period of time, then he or she would open the door to him, giving him the ability to do as he wished. But the price for such a gift was to forever serve by Madame Sombre's side, giving his soul away as though it was animate.

Tanner's philosophical desires and questions pushed him to search for the impossible and give his soul to prove himself right.

We could have an assistant ringmaster? I mean, I was hoping to keep Mistress Sombre to be an NPC and viewed as the main antagonist. But I think having someone who she trusts the most out of the rest of the performers would be cool. ^_^

Then I'd like to reserve the ringmaster position. I'll have a character up tomorrow or midnight tonight cuz I'm off to work right this moment.

Cirque de Noir - COME IN~!

So the ringmaster position/role is already taken correct? By the main antagonist?

Or is Madame Sombre just overlook the whole circus act?

Cuz I'd be interested in playin the ringmaster.

The Walking Dead - Among the Ruined - Season 3

DeSean and Others - The Road

The first vehicle had stopped and the others did too. DeSean was leading at this point and could see a figure in the distance, standing there, looking at them. He couldn't make anything out of whoever it was, male or female, alone or not. There was a widespread of forest like landscaping that could be used to keep any other people hidden from sight. There was also a vehicle next to the figure on the rode, a vehicle capable of providing transportation for more than one person.

DeSean turned to his right towards his wife. There was two options before the group. One was to contact the being on the rode, the other was to turn left and head down the other rode. Jennifer just looked at him as though to tell him that whatever decision he made was the right one. She didn't want to argue anymore, it tore her apart. So DeSean took the walkie-talkie and spoke to the others. "There's someone up ahead. I can't tell if he's armed or not, but he has a vehicle. He's also near the trees, so I'm not sure if there's others. I say we head left here, take a different route. We can't risk it right now" he stated, then letting the speaker button go.

Everyone in the other vehicles heard the talkies. Hank had one and so did Aiden. Hank turned towards Floyd. "What do you think?" he asked the man. "We don't know what he's capable of" was all Floyd said with his low tone. So with that, and one peak at Heather in the back seat, Hank picked up the talkie and agreed to turn left rather than head down the road.

The three vehicles one by one started to turn left, evading the interaction with the unknown soldier. It seemed that slowly and slowly they were becoming somewhat of a group again. This one 'group decision' would hopefully break that separation between everyone. It had been Heather's event that made everyone go uneasy, though it wasn't her fault it happened and nobody blamed her - though it seemed she felt differently. The reason everyone was broken was because they had lost their main leader - Hank. He had become distant and wasn't really interacting much with the others. Instead, he was in his own world - still.

So now the group would go around to the next road and take a right up there to head to the outskirts of Baton Rogue. From there they will have to return back to the main road to hit the highway which would lead them north.

"Do you think they'll be alright? I mean, alright as they were?" Jennifer asked DeSean as they drove. "I don't know. To be honest, he hasn't even told me exactly what happened. I try to get him to talk to me, but he refuses to bring it up. Guess we just have to let him get through it on his own"

"What about Heather? I mean, she doesn't seem okay either" Jennifer added. "She's shaken up. I think she just needs some time. We all need some time to just relax. Maybe Baton Rogue will be the answer, who knows?"

"Yeah. I'll see if we can take a break up in the next town" DeSean responded.

Dex - House - Tessa

After his return, the girl - or young adult - told him some of the information Dex wanted to know. Of course, she was still hiding a couple things, but Dex didn't care anymore. There was one thing she said that caught his attention. She was wanted by Hark. Being wanted meant that Hark would come to her, not the other way around. That meant that having her around could attract the people he wanted dead, but also bring forward danger. Having Hark around was not exactly what he wanted, but it could really aid his desire for revenge. Using this girl for his own desires was not what Dex had intended from the beginning, but he'd do whatever had to be done at this point - he had nothing to lose.

Hark was very dangerous. This act could once again throw him back in those damn cells for aiding a wanted criminal - or at least that's what Dex thought of Tessa. Dex hesitated a little to talk for a second, biting his bottom lip as he decided what to do. There were three decisions, one: let her go and never see this girl again - two: call Hark and have her arrested for breaking into his property, the property of his wife - or three: use her to lure Hark in and hopefully find the man who deserves a bullet to the head. After a couple seconds of silence, Dex finally decided.

He went to the fridge and opened it to pull out a cold bottled water. "Here" he stated as he placed the bottle on the table in front of her. "I'm guessin you're thirsty" he commented, as he grabbed his cigarettes and lit another one up. He smoked for a second then pulled it out to speak. "So you don't have a place to stay huh?" he asked, though already knowing the answer. "I have enough space here" he added, basically saying he was letting her stay. "If you offer to help, maybe I'll let you have that bedroom. You can start off by fixing that damn window yourself" he pointed in the general direction of the bedroom. "But that's not all I need from you. I need you to help me find someone. I don't know his name, but I'm sure you've come across him before. He's.......Hark personnel" Dex said hesitantly. He understood she didn't want to deal with them, but he needed her to.

"If you don't............I'll call them and have you arrested. It's blackmailing, yeah, but who's gonna believe you? You can tell the cops if you want, but we both have criminal records, we'll both end up in a cell. Is that what you want? Or do you want to be able to sleep in these walls and relax for once? All you have to do is help me out a little, I'm not asking for anything else"

Dex - Home - Tessa

As the girl explained, Dex knew damn well she was lying. She just had this dismissive eye contact where she'd look away for just a little bit when she lied - or so Dex picked up. So with the thought that everything she had just stated was bullsh*t, Dex ordered her to sit on the chair by the dining room table. " Sit down and stop talking!" He ordered, forcing her to move with gunpoint.

After she followed Dex's commands and sat, he took the liberty of sitting across from her, placing the gun on the table as he reached over and got a new cig. After lighting it and taking a puff, he exhaled and allowed the smoke to flourish through his general area along with the aroma. "Now. Were gonna start over. One thing is sure, you're lyin and believe me darlin, I don't like liars. Lying gets you killed. So tell me why you're here before I have to call the cops for trespassing or whatever charges they want to get you with" Dex stated, trying to get the truth out of her.

She was in no position to lie to him again. If she did, it'd all be over for her. Suddenly, a knock blasted at the front door. Dex became alert and took hold if his gun. "Stay here, were not done yet" the man stated, getting off the chair and heading to the front door. He looked through the peephole to find James Herbert on the other side if the door. Mr. Herbert was an old neighbor and close friend of both his and Taylor's. Dex hid the gun under his shirt in his buckle and opened the door. "Long time no see Mr. Herbert" Dex smiled. It was nice to see an old friend. "Dex my son, it's been so long. The wife heard you arrived today, it's nice to see you again" the older gentlemansaid with a gentle grin. But that added as he took a breath before speaking again. "Taylor's parents called us today. PD informed them you were our, but because you're phone plan was cancelled, they called us instead" James informed Dex.

"What did they want?" Dex asked as his smile also faded. "They went to see me once when I was in, why contact me now?" He asked. "They didn't say son, I'm just the measenger. Anyhow, I just drop by to let you know. You should call them. Anyway, I'll see you around" the neighbor said as he waved and left back to his house. Dex nodded and closed the door. "Blasted in-laws. Blame me for what happened" he cursed silently.

He returned to the kitchen to find the girl still sitting there. He scratched the back of his head and turned to her. "So, D'you gonna answer me or do you want the cops to show up? Those same cops that......" He paused, not wanting to finish his sentence because the memory was too crucial and painful.

Woohoo! Do you have a minimum age? I am planning a relatively young character but don't want to go too young

Nope, no age limit
