Hello lovelies! At long last, I have gotten myself together and sat down long enough to form a post full of the characters, concepts and universes that have so far germinated in my brain. If you see something you like, feel free to shout down below - I have vague ideas of what I'd like for some of them, but I'm a (mostly) open book and I love to hear concepts from everyone!

I love the fluffs, but boy do I slurp up drama and darkness too. My limits are few and far between, so I'm probably game for whatever you're throwing at me. Try me!

The Greatest Show

A mysterious travelling circus - a show that captivates audiences around the globe and yet leaves no trace of its arrival, departure or origin. Unbeknownst to its patrons, the company is entrapped in a movable fairy circle, in the forced service of the Ringmaster. Unable to remove themselves from a contract they didn't agree to, they are forced to perform night after night for months, years, decades; time does not function as it does outside of the circle's confines.

I would like to get as many characters from as many different players as possible involved in this universe, in any capacity; I'd even like to brew up a little event if I can! Performers, visitors, beasts, whatever fits in. The Ringmaster's form is yet to come, but here are my characters designed for the circus atmosphere:



Arlen is a slight-of-hand magician and candyfloss artist who has been travelling with the Ringmaster's circus for longer than he can remember. He's a gentle soul, but fiercely protective of the innocent against injustices, and often feels personally responsible when new 'recruits' are forced into joining the company. His affectionate and calm nature makes him easy to get along with, but his soul can grow lonely - even though those trapped in the circus have no concept of how long they have been there, he recognises it as a long, long time.




Osamu is, quite frankly, a disaster. He's a certified sad boy who is relatively new to the grips of the Ringmaster and finds it incredibly hard - he has suffered heinous abuse at the Ringmaster's hand and now throws himself fully into his act, to the point of exhaustion and injury, to distract himself. He is an acrobat and trapeze artist, and occasionally dabbles with tightrope walking when he's feeling particularly reckless. Someone love him immediately.

Secret Service

Inspired by the Kingsman universe - a private intelligence agency working at the highest level of discretion. Ridiculousness is welcome here, as well as serious angst and drama. I'd love to explore trainees for the agency in this universe, or experienced agents out on the field. Rivals from opposing agencies on the same mission is always a fun one. I have one guy kicking around already for this:



This lad is still unnamed and doesn't have much of a formal personality or structure, but what I do know is that he is an adept sharpshooter and a man of high class and tight lip. He finds it hard to avoid taking everything as a challenge, and often is envious rather than proud of his colleagues' achievements.

Idol Industry

Oh man do I have some boys for you here. If you like young lads with no clue what they're doing, who run around being stupid and oblivious and potentially in love, you've come to the right place. Their final forms are coming soon, but they have names! They are:

Seong-min - This boy loves boy butts. He's terrible at dancing because he keeps staring at his members' butts. He won't, for love nor money, confess to be not being straight, no matter how much pressure he's put under. An open and embarrassing pervert who has far less tact than he should and a mouth bigger than is comfortable for anyone who knows him.

Eun-jae - The perfect idol on stage - can churn out any number of sexy moves and looks, and has a beautiful smoky voice to go with the visage. However, he is cripplingly shy off-stage, relying on his confident and aloof persona to carry him through any correspondence before or after a show. He is used to being self-sufficient and does not trust people to be permanent fixtures in his life, which makes it difficult for him to form bonds even with his members.

Jong-seok - An aspiring football star turned idol. Due to a career changing injury that prevented him pursuing his dream of international level soccer, he turned to the idol industry, a decision he still laments and is deeply unhappy with. Brash, defensive, and aggressive to those who question him, he is not seen by anyone as a good addition to a team. He has talent as a rapper, but doesn't work on it as hard as he should because of the pain of his lost dream.

Unplaced characters



This terrible child is Kai. Though he does exist tangentially within another universe of mine, I'd like to give him a plot of his own. As it stands, he's a demon who gets immense pleasure - and power - from ruining relationships. Like an Anti-Cupid, he aims to cause strife and distress between couples wherever possible. His moral compass is totally out of whack. I'd like to give him someone he can love, to realise what an asshole he is, who possibly leaves him or meets some other unfortunate fate. To teach him a lesson.

I will doubtlessly be adding to the above, and - if anyone wants to take one of these guys out for a quick spin - I'd love to do some Lost Seraphim threads. Low effort stuff. <3 Hit me up!

I would love to chuck some characters into that circus plot.

I'm picturing a lady who is real lithe and elegant, who always put on a show since she was a kid and loved to entertain. She learned all kinds of skills to do this, mostly using gymnastic style skills and preferring acts that are focused on her. Her public and stage persona is sunny and dazzling, but backstage, she has a tendency to have a high-handed attitude. Though she would certainly not be unkind to other circus members, being stuck in the circus would irk her and since (I'm assuming) she can't lash back at the ringmaster, she takes it out on anyone else who tries to tell her what to do. Sometimes even when they haven't done anything to her at all, if she's mad enough.

Also, another character: a tomboyish little orphan girl who was usually a good little child, but for once in her life did something simply because she wanted to: she snuck in to see the circus. Lo and behold, she wound up getting caught and is now (unofficially) part of the support crew. She's a shy sweetheart who doesn't really mind being there much, since it's more like a family than she's ever had. She'd be patient with my lady's temper tantrums, probably leave little tidbits she finds in the stands or grounds for Osamu, and happily keep Arlen company, though she's not a particularly talkative conversation partner. She'd also be pretty supportive and happy to accommodate any other new characters.

Sorry if they're not written well, haha. I just came up with them and spat them out. If you like them, I can start looking through my pen for their forms and pick names. I'm thinking the little girl will be a kuhna, most likely.

Your secret agent sounds fun! Especially because I do love a good dramedy.



Fitz here is a character I've had for ages who'd be fun to play in a secret agent setting. He's a body double and guard for the fabulously wealthy who helps his rich clients avoid getting tangled up with the underworld. He also has some old mob connections which he uses mostly to get mobsters to leave his clients alone.
