Form
Name: Sizzla
Avi Image:
Catagory: Performer
Any thoughts or comments on the image: This is my version of a trapeze artist. Though her costume is a bit more lavish than most trapeze costumes, she's excellent at what she does, so nothing seems to impede her performance. The headwings also give her an airy quality, like the air she flies through during every performance.

Form
Name: Kultura (:cool)
Avi Image:


Catagory: Performer!

Any thoughts or comments on the image:
Typical clown - Fun, childish, brightly coloured...This clown is dressed to mess! Ok, so the eyes are orange, and maybe that's a bit creepy... But what clown isn't creepy?! *hides* She has ducks on a string, which are a vital part of her act. She sometimes juggles them!

Form
Name: Hatake Ayumi
Avi Image:
Catagory: Performer
Any thoughts or comments on the image: The ever ready Ring master, with armor to protect her against any misfired imaginary bullets from the feisty clowns or any high flying human cannon balls. Wearing silver, she outshines every other performer and knows it too. Cane in hand, ready to lash out at any behaving, orderly clown and every unbalanced high wire walker, she is the absolute ruler of the big top. And you better know it.

Form

Form
Name: Silver Magi.
Avi Image:
Catagory: (performer or sideshow) Performer.
Any thoughts or comments on the image: Sometimes, if you're lucky enough, the circus might throw on a show, with fancily adorned elephants, with girls in bright costumes, standing up while riding the elephants around the center ring.
With her feathery skirt and flashy gold jewels, this elephant-rider is ready to entertain!

Form
Name: Clair Voyant

Cammy The Clown

Catagory: Performer
Any thoughts or comments on the image: Cammy The Clown. She'll make you laugh until you cry with her wacky tricks and crazy jokes. She rides a uni-cycle and gets pie in the face. Sniff my flower? Why sure, it's so... GARH!! She squirts you in the face with water. Watch out for Cammy. She's there to be the joke, but sometimes, the joke's on YOU!

Name: Sadrain
Avi Image:
Category: Performer
Comments: Come one and all, come and see the foreign, strange Dream Rose! As she performs her beautiful dances on arena, the purple roses grow and entwine around her body, the thorns never leaving a mark on her pale skin. Often, she shows magical tricks with help of her Panda Rosey and sometimes even gifts beautiful roses that are said to fulfill a wish...

Name: shinigami2
Avi Image:
Catagory:performer
Any thoughts or comments on the image: She is a tightrope walker/acrobat, she takes her chances on the rope and never uses a net below, each performance could be her last, will the audience watch as she takes the chance?

Form
Name: Cloudwalker
Avi Image:

Catagory: performer
Any thoughts or comments on the image: A human cannonball whose aerodynamics let her fly high across the field. Don't look away, that cape does more than look good.

Form
Name: Thulhu
Avi Image:

Catagory: Performer
Any thoughts or comments on the image: In my experiences with circus clowns there is always a over sized and somewhat hairy baby clown who whines and crys to the dismay of the other clowns until the Big Momma clown comes in to trip all over his toys as he whizzes about and then finally catches him to take him to bed. Well here she is, big momma clown!!

Form
Name: Sakura_Madison
Avi Image:
Catagory: performer
Any thoughts or comments on the image: Here comes Lina the Lion Tamer and her partner, Leon the Lion. Leon obeys Lina's commands from jumping through the ring of fire to shake hands with Lina. In the final act, Lina dares to put her head inside Leon's mouth!

All done!

Name: Strawberry Octopus
Avi Image:
Catagory: performer
Any thoughts or comments on the image: Ages ago, the land was ridden by thousands of crumbling ruins. Thosands of strawberry jam shugar cookies used to frolic untill one bakery unleashed feverous amounts of yeast in the batter! people where scared, and buildings toppled, resulting in the ruins of such a happy, loving baking comunity. Cookies ran wild amongst humans, and often bad things resulted in this. Matabalisms slowed, children become spoiled and lazy, none to mention the natural baking habits of the effected area are severly dented! So, come some years after all of the destruction, a person dressed in lolita-pirate attire decided that she'd be the person to calm the hearts of millions of people, and cookies alike! The people of menewsha call her...The cookie tamer! The tamer of Crumbs, cookies, and fear! No cookie should ever cross The cookie tamer's path, for fear of its strawberry Jam filled center being slurped right out from under it's over yeasted sugar cookie base. This instalment of fear, and reverse trust results in many awe inspireing Baking gymnastics. Have you ever seen a cookie do a split?

Any thoughts or comments on the image: This tightrope walker delicately balances over a rope many feet below her. She uses the umbrella to embellish her act, not for balance. She floats down delicately at the end.

Form
Name: Fiziali
Avi Image:
Catagory: Performer
Any thoughts or comments on the image: My avi is a lion tamer, with Leo representing the lions she tames. The ring of fire depicts the burning hoop the lions jump through. The whip is not really used on the lions, as she is an animal lover, and does not believe in harming the lions, but rather, she uses the snap of the whip and the pantomiming of her hands to indicate to the lion which trick he/she is to perform next. At the end of a show, she rewards her lions with a special treat for a job well done.

To be in the sideshow you need to be something mysterious and aww inspiring. I am going for contorsionist, bearded ladies, Fire breathers,psychics, anything you would find in the shade of the sideshow tent.

Name: Catonia
Avi Image:
Catagory: Sideshow
Any thoughts or comments on the image: "Come into my tent, my pretty and let Madame tell your fortune..." the gyspy beckoned her unwary victim to enter, smiling her mysterious smile.

In other words; A gypsy fortune teller. Watch out or she'll steal all your gold. ;3

Come to the circus and tell all your friends you've seen a genuine rain forest tribeswoman! Performing mystical arts passed down by her people it is said she can put a spell on you. Will it be a blessing or a curse? Don't worry- the spear is just ceremonial...

Form

Form
Name: Cyndel
Avi Image:

Any thoughts or comments on the image: A dancing show girl with an enchanting voice and melodic harp. Her theme plays off of the Mermaid, and her act combines not only enticing dance and song, but snake charming as well.

Name: Goblin Maiden
Avi Image:
Catagory: sideshow
Any thoughts or comments on the image: A mystic storyteller whose quill will write (sort of) what you ask of it. However, the quill has a mind of its own, and the story you ask for is not always what you will get. Who knows if this figure truly belongs at a circus; she is like a gypsy and goes wherever opportunity might strike to share her words (and maybe garner a tip or two).

Name: Knerd
Avi Image:
Catagory: Sideshow
Any thoughts or comments on the image: My interpretation of Otis Jordan the Frog Boy.

Form
Name: fairywaif
Avi Image:
Catagory: sideshow
Any thoughts or comments on the image: Her show s called the Ancient Mystic, although she was born with silver hair, so no one knows her age but her. The mirror and the bones she uses to make her readings. She came from a far off land, over the great waters. She will also dance before she makes a reading, slowly and mysteriously.

Any thoughts or comments on the image: Sorry to use the Blind Justice item again (It's been used a bit) but this is a blinded knife thrower... Making the thrill of this typical circus show ever higher, getting adrenaline rushing and hearts thumping! The Blinded Knife Thrower is the single reason circuses travel from one place to another - to avoid law suits for all the ears that were severed O_O

Form
Name: Popcorn Gun
Avi Image:
Catagory: Sideshow
Any thoughts or comments on the image: This little vixen is the spunk-punk quen herself. She likes to call herself a "firewalker." Passed down from generation, to genration, in her family is the ability to walk and even dance on red hot coals, which is why her feet are almost always covered in soot, or blackened slightly. And it's not a trick, the soles of her feet are bare.

Now something that might be a trick, she'll never tell, is her ability to actually walk on/through fire and come out unscathed! She doesn't do it often, she wants it to retain it's novelty of course, but she can and will. This added ability is why she dons the tattoo of the dragon. So step back kiddies, and watch her at work!

The Tortured Mutant Pyromaniac

Catagory: Sideshow
Any thoughts or comments on the image: Step up and prepare to be terrorfied! The beast from hell itself stands just beyond these curtains. Raised beside a nuclear powerplant, the Tortured Mutant Pyromaniac (TMP) has gained great power. He (or she, we don't know which) has mastered the element of fire. But this came at a great cost an after the fire consumed his body, his heart and his sanity. Keep at a distance. He is still wild and you never know who he will try to make pay for his horrible disfigurement. Try not to stare or you'll make yourself the target. Step on up, have courage and change your life forever.
