WELCOME!
Welcome! Welcome, roll up! Stroll up! Crawl if you can! Here, everyone is welcomed, but not everyone can handle what is, The Dark Karnival! For under the Big Top, in this place of purgatory, no one dies, but everyone can! For you see, your body can be destroyed, but it will
ALWAYS regenerate and come back, because your soul cannot leave!
So join the freaks, join the madness, and enjoy dying over and over and over! Make us laugh, make us cry, make us think, make us get creative!
SETTING:
You have died, where ever you were from is now gone, who ever you knew, they too are probably gone. You are now here, at The Dark Karnival, where your soul never leaves, and your body never dies! There is the main Big Top Circus Tent, with much smaller tents surrounding it, and the entire Karnival is in the middle of a never ending cemetary. Walk far enough away from it, and youll find yourself approaching from the other side of the Karnival, there is no escaping it. The landscape has hills and hollows, flat plains and little wooded sections, but it is all littered with head stones. Throughout all of this is scattered various deadly rides that you can go on if you wish.
The Big Top is equipped for socialising and recreation, featuring lounges and tables and a bar manned by Evil Oompah Loompah Clowns! It is the main area in which everything occurs at The Dark Karnival.

Account Name: Assassin_666
Character Name: Sodom The Clown
Appearance: 
Race:Human
Age:Unknown. Appearance is mid to late 20s
Height: 186cm/6'1"
Weight: 90kg/198lbs
Weapons:
Jesters Staff. Magical properties and a focus tool for some abilities. Also handy as combat weapon.
Small fixed blade knife made of Adamantium.
Juggling Balls. Harmless explosive, similar to smoke grenades in that it creates confetti clouds.
Abilities:
TELEPORTATION:
Particles pertaining to the being and possessions of Sodom are instantly transported to the desired location through a teleportation technique that folds a type of sub space or parallel universe together. Much as two diagonally opposite corners of a blanket are brought together and a bug may travel between the corners without traversing the distance in the middle.
Travelling to an unknown location is an extremely risky attempt. The nature of his teleportation usually relies on line of sight or foreknowledge of the location he will appear at. The exception being short but predictable distances, which would include walls, doors, floors etc that are a presumably predictable size and the location can be simply estimated from a close location to the destination.
TELEKINESIS:
The ability to manipulate objects with force of mind. Usually pertains to inanimate and non-organic materials but can extend to beings such as himself when necessary. This also means that he can create a physical object out of telekinetic energy that are invisible to the eye. This is most useful for his powers of mime, and is only limited to his imaginations ability to conceive objects to use. Use of his telekinetic objects by others though is not possible because he can dissolve or remake things at will, though he can use the objects to cause mischief and mayhem directly to others.
ILLUSION & DECEPTION:
Upon touching a being, or acquiring an object of close personal attachment, Sodom can form a psychic link. This link is not permanent and wears off over time, it is also bound by distance, the further the distance the less reliable the link. Using this link though, Sodom is able to flawlessly trick the targets mind and sensory perception signals into believing that it is still functioning as normal, while infact it has become immobile. The target is unaware that anything has changed, and anything that they would normally do, how they would react etc, they believe that they are truly doing. Instead, they are motionless. They are effectively cast into a state of active lucid dreaming while being awake.
Disturbing the physical body will result in the shattering of the illusionary world, though it may be possible to establish illusions within illusions. Much like believing that one has been having a dream and then woken and upon attempting to move, truly then woken themselves up. Once truly having awakened they have realised that they have had a dream of being awake while they were asleep.
No actual negative or positive effects, other than the parting of knowledge or experience result from this technique. Even if one were to die in one of these illusions, they would simply ‘wake’ from it and come back to reality.
KARNI MAGICS:
Sodom is a Clown, and as such, possesses Karni Magics derived from his training and experience at The Dark Karnival. The more physical side has left him with a highly flexible, agile and strong body, capable of almost any physical feat. Couple with his teleportation, telekinetic and illusion abilities, and this can be a fearsome combination, especially to the unsuspecting.
DARK VOODOO:
One of Sodoms greatest strengths is that he was taught a form of corrupted Voodoo while he was in the Dark Karnival by the Misfortune Teller. She showed him how to bind his soul into an object, and that, by storing this object somewhere highly secret, destroying his physical body will not destroy him. She also showed him a fearsome regeneration ability that he could tie to his physical being that, no matter how his body was destroyed, it would regenerate and reform. This process is most painful and can take a very long time if the body is destroyed down to a molecular level, though for the regrowth of limbs or small wounds, the time is considerably less.
Destruction of this object will force his soul to return to his physical body and will make him vulnerable once more to death.
He is also able to fabricate voodoo dolls of people provided he has something from their body, be it hair, nail clippings or some form of bodily fluid like spittle or sweat or even excrement. What he choses to do with the doll is entirely unpredictable, but often amusing, if not disturbing. Destruction of the doll will cease the use of the ability.
History/Bio:
Sodom The Clown was a freak occurance, something rumoured to be myth, a legend. He was a descendent of Jekyll and Hyde, a man whose alternative personality was something different to anything that any other schitzophrenic would ever possibly be. Not only did his personalities change, but so did his body.
As such a rare, unique individual, he was quickly 'recruited' by a genetics company who wanted to learn the secret of his uncontrolled ability. After several decades of testing and experimentation without success, he finally passed away in his bed.
When he awoke, he was in an open grave. Unsure where he was, he climbed out and walked about, eventually comming across an empty circus. There was no one else around, just the odd breeze.
Days passed, still without sight or sound of a person, the days melding into weeks, weeks into months, and the months gradually into years. After his first year of not having any interaction with people, he tried to kill himself and succeeded, only to wake up once more in the same grave, sore, but otherwise fine. As time proceeded, years going by, he steadily decended into madness, one personality finally overcomming the other and taking control of the body permanently.
And thus, Sodom The Clown was born. A creature of madness, sadistic satisfaction, insensibile amusements and a twisted, sick, depraved being to make your skin crawl.
Not long after the Clown came to be, other people started showing up. There have been additions to the Karnival ever since...
