EDIT AGAIN: 4 MORE CHARACTERS! I told you there be more!

Welcome the Zikus Outcast (Meaning Zirkus meaning Circus in German)

This is a freak circus who is vowed to finding misfits, freaks of natural, beings with unnatural abilities, those who were abandoned, and just plain outcasted individuals and give them a new home, family, and friends by letting them join the Zirkus. They travel the world and perform and allow people who take interest in them to behold their wonderment.
However, they also find themselves face judgment and sometimes hostile individuals who don't understand what their circus is really about and wishes to destroy their way of living.

Now for the characters. (In order from left to right then down and left to right again.)

The first little cute guy is Gary, the "Rag Doll Boy." Gary is literally a human size doll made of just real human skin and fabric; he has no organs or any bodily fluids what so ever, just plain teddy bear stuffing in his body and he somehow still manages to live. Gary is actually the newest member of the circus (and probably the main character of the story line.) Gary's background begins though 13 years ago before he join the Zikus and starts with a very rich, British man and his spoiled little girl. The man's name was Thomas Lerwick and his daughter was Angelica. Angelica was 6 years old and had a love for old fashion, hand craft toys and dolls, however, she felt that something was messing from them. The little girl then realized that she wanted a toy that could interact with her, one that could walk, pick her up, follow her around on it's own and play with her as an actually friend. She went to her father and demand that he get her a human size, living, breathing Raggedy Andy doll. The father was a little stunned by this but wanted his little girl happy so he started seeking out a toy maker who could create this living, breathing doll. It took him a while but he finally managed to find a man who claimed he could create such a doll. Within a week, the creation was complete and the rag doll boy was born. Mr. Lerwick took him home with him and presented him to his daughter. As soon as Angelica saw him and even though he never spoke (Because he's mute), she loved him but could clearly see that he wasn't an Raggdy Andy doll, so decided to name him Gary instead. After that, Gary spent everyday with the little girl, playing with her and following her around wherever she went. He even would watch and pay attention when her tutors would came to school her (Even though most were very frighten by him being a living doll) and he learned to read and write just as Angelica did. The rag doll adored this little girl to death and did everything he could to make her happy. Sadly, as Angelica grew into her teen years, she paid attention to Gary less and less, especially after taking an interest in normal teenage stuff. Then then when Angelica was 18, she moved out of her fathers house to go off to college and pursue her own career, leaving Gary alone with her father and their butler. Mr. Lerwick was very kind to Gary and treated him as one of the family, but eventually, Mr. Lerwick pasted away of lung disease. The butler was suppose to take Gary in after Mr. Lerwick's passing, however the living doll had always made the butler uncomfortable so he just abandon Gary in the Lerwick old mansion. Though Gary didn't need basic food and water to survive, he was very lonely in the mansion by himself and didn't know where else to go. However, a couple of months after Mr. Lerwick's death, Gary was found by the owner and ringleader of Zirkus Outcast. Since Gary can't speak, she used one of Angelica's old notebooks to write out his story (with surprisingly very good grammar) and had the ringleader read it. The ringleader then decided to take Gary in as one of the many outcast in the world and give him a new home with family and friends.

Personality wise, Gary is very kindhearted and gentle being, who just loves children and people in general. He likes to be very helpful towards others and does whatever he can to lend his assistance. He sort has a habit of innocently following certain people around without realizing it, a habit he had developed from following Angelica for some many years. He's also very curious and has a bad habit of seeking out what he's curious about and sometimes gets lost because of it. Though he always finds his way back to the Zikus somehow. After joining the circus, he's very loyal to it and loves all the members in it, but in a small degree, he still hasn't forgotten his reason for being created and wishes to see Angelica all grown up again one day. Because of his kind personality and way with people, even without words, he makes friends easily, and he seems to really like to make friends. For the show, Gary performance it is to prove just how much of a doll he is. He allows people to take knifes and stab them inside of him and even allowed them to cut him up with a chainsaw to prove all that's inside of him is stuffing and yet he still lives.

The man with the fox head is Alder Bathilda, the ringleader and owner of the Zikus Von Outcast. Alder was born in a small village in German. Though the village was modern in technology and clothing fashion, the people still believed in witchcraft, demons, and the devil's work to be real and would hunt down anyone they suspect of it. Alder's father knew this very well and when his son was born with the deformity of having a fox's head, he knew he would have to take Alder into hiding to keep him alive. He raised him by himself deep within the woods and homeschooled him into a intelligent young man. Alder grew up, wanting to play with other children but his father was too protective to let him. Alder never understood what made him different from everyone else so he just thought his father was being unfair. Finally, when a teenager, he decided to dare it and go into the village for the first time to see the sights and meet other people. However, when he arrived, people looked at him with fear, stayed wary of his path and instead assumed he was a demon. Before Alder knew it, the villagers started to to attack him, in an tempt to get rid of the "devil's minion." He had no choice but to flee in order to keep the people from killing him. Eventually he ran so far that he could see the village from a distance but knew he wouldn't be able to return, not even for his father even though he really wanted to. Alder then started traveling on his own, having to take care of himself and go though many struggles to live. He often had to hide his face from others in fear that they would have the same reaction at the people of the village. He worked little odd jobs to make money to feed himself and would walk long distances just to find a place he could be accepted. One day, he came across an actual freak show and for the first time, saw people with deformities like himself. The freaks of nature allowed people to behold in there wonders of their deformities and even performed tricks and such to impress people. Alder was amazed and had the chance to talk to the man who owned the freak show, asking to join. But, the man said that they had too many mouths to feed as it was and could not take Alder in. However, the man was kind enough to give Alder a good amount of money and inspired him to start his own traveling circus and home for freaks like him. From that moment, Alder worked hard to start to Zikus Outcast and create a place where all those who are unwanted could come to. In present time, the circus in up and on the road with many cast members and workers to put on a good show.

Alder is a rather calm, intelligent, and polite man, willing to help misfits and such find a home within the circus, however, like his father was to him, he's rather protective. He doesn't like for anyone to mess his circus and the members and will protect them from anyone who threats to harm them. He's happily married to one of the performers and acts as a father figure towards all members of the circus, since most are younger. Though, he's under stress with having to manage all the responsibilities of the circus and it's members but he tries to not let that get to him. For the show, of course, Alder is the ringleader and announces all the acts but also has a performance where he pretends to be annoyed with the clowns of the circus while their teasing him while he's trying to announce stuff. It gives the circus goers a good laughs and shows him with more of a humorous side.

Next guy is Ruckus Marrios, known as "Defy Gravity" in the circus ring. Ruckus was born in Canada, during a snow storm one day. Being snowed in and had no way to make it to the hospital, his father had to do the best to help his wife deliver their son by themselves. The birth was a success and the Marrios had a healthy baby boy. It wasn't until the first time that his father tried to lay him down in the baby cradle that her discovered that his couldn't lie down in it but instead, somehow flouted over it. To his parents' horror, no matter how hard they tried, Ruckus couldn't lie down in the bed; or crawl on the floor nor could he be seated in a chair. Ruckus only seemed to flout over everything. The more days that past the more he was able to flout higher and higher. Then before long, it was like he could actually elevate or fly over and around object at his own free will, and he could touch things with his hands but his feet would never touch the ground, nor would he ever be able to sit or lay on something. It was like Ruckus could defy the law of gravity. For the first five years of his life, his parents tried their hardest to figure out a way to make him be able to walk on the ground so he could be a normal kid, but had to give up on that idea eventually, knowing he would not be accepted among many normal children for this reason. However, one day while Ruckus mother was driving on her way to work when she accidentally took a wrong turn and came across the Zikus Outcast. Being curious to find out what the deal was, she stopped to get out and look around and discovered that the circus had many different people with deformities and special abilities that made them outcast like she feared her son would be. She spoke to Alder and begged him to let Ruckus join so he could grow up around people that was different like him. Alder went back with her to their home and met 5 year old Ruckus, seeing his amazing ability to defy gravity and agreed to let the little boy join.

In present time, Ruckus is 15 years old and still lives among the circus. Though, Ruckus is thought to be a pretty good kid, he's seemed to get into trouble frequently. Ruckus can be a bit of a showoff, a little rowdy sometimes, can be sneaky, thinks that he's cool and seems to joke and play around a lot. He's constantly getting grounded by Alder for doing something wrong, but he never seems to learn his lesson because he never takes his grounding seriously. He has the worst habit of flirting with almost ever girl he meets. Even if he knows he doesn't have a shot of winning them over, he still flirts for fun. Though, Ruckus does have a belief that every girl is beautiful, and can't stand to hear a girl call herself ugly. He will go though great measurements to prove to her that she is beautiful no matter what. When Gary joins the circus, he and Ruckus become roommates, and while Ruckus wasn't crazy about sharing a tent as first, Gary sort of grew on him easily and know he and the rag doll are very good friends. Though, Ruckus has the worst habit of doing something wrong and then blaming poor little Gary for it. But everyone knows Ruckus too well, so it doesn't really work and he still gets grounded. For the show, Ruckus performs in a white magicians outfit and does many tricks within the air with his ability to elevate and soar around. He even let himself drop out from very high up, a fall that would kill a normal and refuse to caught himself to make the watchers gasp and worry but since he can never touch the ground, he is always stopped a few inches before he hits the floor.

The lovey young lady is Ifa. Ifa grew up in a small city in India with a large of a British and somewhat American influence, where she was a servant for a very rich man. Ifa was born with a deformity where part of her spine had developed on the outside of her skin instead of on the inside of her body. Because of this deformity and the judgmental people of the kingdom, Ifa was forced to hind her deformity from everyone in order to make a living and after her mother's death, no one else knew of her external back bone. Even though Ifa knew she had a disability, he had always dreamed of becoming a belly dancer, being that belly dancers were known to be some of the most beautiful and respected women in the small kingdom. But she feared that he deformity would always keep her from it. However, he dream stayed alive and over the years she was able to talk herself into attempting it. She taught herself in secret to belly dance and even would watch her spine in a mirror sometimes to see how it works. When it came time to prove her skills when she was 16 to a dance inductor, her dance skills amazed her however, once the woman saw her spine sticking out, she was quickly written off as a freak and made Ifa feel like she was unwanted. It didn't take long for word to get out about Ifa's deformity and not before long, every time she was out in the street, she was made into a side show freak. Often she was disrespected by being grabbed by people who wanted to see her spine and rudely had he back of her shirt lifted up for everyone to see. People would even touch her back bone when she demanded them not to and by each passing day, the harassment grew worst and Ifa was made to feel like an outcast. However, as word spread about Ifa, it just so happened that Zikus Von Outcast was in area and Alder overheard people speaking of her. Alder went to Ifa and told her of the circus and how she could be with others who were misfits like herself. While as first Ifa was scared, she was willing to do anything to get away from the harassment, so she went off to join the circus.

Now, Ifa is a full grown woman in her mid 20's and his glad she joined the circus. She is the circus's belly dancer and because of her good looks, even with her spine sticking out, easily attracts young men who finds her attractive to come see the show. Ifa is now a lot braver than she used to be and has it in her head that she can do anything that anyone else can do. However, she often has to be remind that she has limits because if she works too hard she can damage her spine with it being out of her back, it's not protected by skin and can seriously injury or even kill her if she gets hurt. Even though Ifa is a very friendly and out going girl, sadly she does not like to be touched. If she gets touched it reminds her of her days of harassment and therefore will freak out if someone touches her in a way to make her feel uncomfortable. She fears because of this, she will never be able to find a husband but she tries to work on getting over her fear of being touched, however, its a lot easier said than done. The only people she allows to touch her is Alder, Alder's wife, and a little while after he joins and she gets to know him, Gary. For the show, Ifa will belly dance to traditional Indian music and let them she how her spine curves when she does. Then she becomes assistant to those who need one in their performances.

The next like guy is Ozmon, known as "Fish Boy." Not much is known about Ozmon's background expect that he had been mistreated badly just because of his fish-like looks and ability to control large amounts of water and he was outcast to live on the shore of one of the beaches in Spain. Becaming angry and bitter over his mistreatment, Ozmon would scare off tourist who would come to the beach and attack them with water. One day, after Alder heard of the fish boy, the ringleader came to talk to the boy about joining the Zikus. However Ozmon refused to listen to him and started to attack Alder with water. Alder was too stubborn to give up on the boy too easily so he kept trying to convince him to join the circus to be with misunderstood people like him. But the more Alder refused to give up on him, the more confused and angry Ozmon came. It got to the point where Ozmon snapped and surround Alder with water in a attempt to drown him and almost did. However, Ruckus had been with Alder that day, and when he saw what the fish boy was doing to the ringleader, he knew he had to save Alder. He flouted up behind Ozmon silently and grabbed him by the shoulders, causing him to become scared and release Alder. Then to frighten the boy Ruckus flew into the air carrying Ozmon and threat to drop him on some very large, sharp rocks if he didn't agree to join the circus to make up to what he did to Alder. Fearing for his life, Ozmon started crying but agreed to join. Once he was back on the ground, still crying, Ozmon apologized to Alder and begged for his forgiveness. Alder wasn't even angry with him, just welcome him in open arms to the circus. Though, Alder did grounded Ruckus for his course of action with threating to harm Ozmon. Ruckus wasn't surprise. He gets in trouble all the time anyways and gets grounded a lot.

In present time, Ozmon really likes living in the circus and isn't aggressive towards people like he used to be. Now he's quite welcoming of people and actually likes to entertain them. He's very playful and likes to tease others and even make them chase him for fun. He loves playing in water and showing off his abilities when he does. He respects Alder and Alder's wife very much but hates Ruckus. He and the gravity defying teenager don't get along very well and often get into childish fights, often Ozmon being the winner because he plays the victim card and acts like an innocent child that Ruckus was picking on. And again Ruckus gets grounded. Ozmon sleeps in (and considers his room) a large fish tank placed on a flat surface that has wheels under neath it, making it easy to move. He shares the fish tank with several different fish. For his show, assistants with wheel his fish tank into the ring and he will use the water and fish inside of it to put on an interesting water display and control the water in anyway that he wants.

Next, this lovey lady is Wynter Bathilda, Alder's wife and known as the "Jersey Devil." Wynter was born in New Jersey with a deformity where her legs was that of a horse's and she had horns and a tail. Her parent's abandon her at a foster home, where she stayed and was constantly mistreated and felt unwelcome by the other children. Eventually, she learned how to take care of herself and ran away when she was 14 years old. She found an old abandon cabin deep in the woods and started living there by herself. Wynter was a very clever girl, she had heard locals speak of stories of the Jersey Devil and she came up with a good idea to keep people away from her cabin and to steal food from farms. She painted her skin red, took old black bed sheets, tore holes in them, took two rods, put them together, and made them look like ripped bat wings, then took a pair of fake vampire teeth and made herself look like a demon the devil would summoned to do his bidding. She then would go out into the woods at night and make a horrible screaming sound and if people came into the woods, she stand in the moonlight and pretend she was going to attack them. She scared off many people who saw her and he got quite a laugh out of it. She would go to farms and steal food so she could survive and if she was caught scare of the farmers as the Jersey Devil. One night, she was down by the lake and heard someone coming. Already in her Jersey Devil costume, she hide behind a tree and wait for her vitcm to come closer. However, when she jumped out to frighten them, instead of coming face to face with a normal human, she came face to fox face with Alder. She screamed in surprise, stumbled, and fell into the lake, the red paint washed off and her wings broke, revealing her as a fake. She had slightly hurt her ankle and Alder apologized and helped her get back to her cabin, where he bandaged it up for her. For the next few days, Alder took care of her until she was feeling better and they got to know each other. They told each other their stories of being unwelcome and Alder invited her to join the circus. That was how Alder met his future wife.

In present time, Wynter and Alder are happily married but Wynter is going though a bit of crisis where she seriously wants to have a baby. She keeps trying to drop hints to Alder that she wants one by leaving baby pacifiers around his work area, sometimes slips pictures of babies into his paperwork, and even with make sweet comment in front of him when she sees a mother with a infant. However, as a smart of a man Alder is, he seems a bit dense to what she's doing. Wynter is also very protective of the circus performers like her husband and acts like the mother figure of them all. For her performance, she does as she used to and dresses up with large bat wings, paints her skin red, and wears fake vampire teeth and is presented as the Jersey Devil. To give it more excitement, he has learned how be a circus fire breather and does tricks with fire.
Then there's Tavy, known as "TV Head." Tavy is a robot that was created in Japan for a contest to create the best invitation to make people's lives easier. Tavy was created to protect people from criminals threatening to harm them. However, to the inventors shame, Tavy didn't even place and was reject from the contest. Feeling like the robot was a failure, the creator turned Tavy off and threw him in the trash. While the Zikus was in Japan, Tavy was found by Ozmon and the little fish boy thought he was some sort of toy and he took Tavy back to the circus. Alder figured out how to turn Tavy back on and once he did, because of Tavy's programming he saw all the people he thought he must protect.

Present day, Tavy spends most of his time running around the circus making sure that everyone is safe and that no one is out to hurt anyone in the circus. He's very serious about his job and doesn't seem to understand jokes very well. Tavy speaks does speak English buy in a Japanese computerized sounding voice. He's also not much of a performer so he just sits outside of the tent and acts a security while the show goes on.

Next up is Ike Ketplar, the "Reptile Charmer." Ike was born and raised in New Orleans close to the Bayou. When Ike was only 3 years old, his father walked outside to check on his son and found that the boy was playing with a Copperhead Snake. Little Ike would just sit there giggling and let the snake slither all over his arms, shoulders, and neck. Oddly enough, it was like the snake was cuddling and liked to hear baby Ike laugh. When Ike's dad tried to step forward to remove the snake from the child, the reptile hissed and bared his fangs at him, but as soon as he took a step back, it went back to paying attention to Ike. The father had to call the police and have them forcefully remove the creature from his son, which Ike began crying and didn't what them to take the venomous animal away. As Ike grew older, he began to develop an obsession with not just snake, but also other reptiles. When he was just 12 years old, Ike started to collet snakes, lizards, turtles, and even one baby alligator in his bedroom, keeping them a secret from his father. Before long, he had 36 different reptiles in his room that he managed to take very good care of and each of them seemed to really enjoy his presents. However, Ike's father noticed that Ike never made friends with normal kids nor talk or learn about normal things, all he ever wanted to do was stay in his room and talk and learn about reptiles. He also notice how Ike never wanted him inside his room and became too curious for his own good. One day, while Ike was outside for a couple a minutes, his dad went into his room and found all the cold blooded animals his son had collect. Again, dad called the police and had them remove the reptiles, however, this time, Ike went crazy and put up more of a fight than he had when he was 3. Ike actually tried to attack the officers trapping and taking his pets away and when his father tried to hold him back, he bit his dad's hand so hard that it drew a good sum of blood and injured him. Ike tried to attack the police again and had to be handcuffed to the porch while they removed the creatures. Ike then started to scream at the top of his lungs and beat the back of his against the porch repeatedly in a attempt to escape, however, he only ended up busting the back of his head open and knocking himself unconscious. After that day, Ike was feared by almost all of his neighbors and due to the events of that day, Ike was taken away from his father, being considered a danger to others around him and himself, and was taken to the mental hospital. Ike stayed in the mental hospital until 19, but never got over his obsession of reptiles. Finally he escape the mental hospital and ran away. He ended up on the side of the highway, trying to hitchhike to another state when one of the trucks of the Zikus Outcast stopped and gave him a ride to the next state over. Alder was going to allow Ike a free meal and chance to stay the night with the circus however, when the two began to talk, Ike told his story of keeping 36 reptiles in his bed room as a child and how he was outcasted and taken to a mental hospital because of it. This gave Alder the idea to start a Reptile House and allow Ike to be the keeper so that the circus would have another attraction and Ike would have a new home.
Present time, Ike runs the Reptile House with over 250 different species of reptiles, some actually being very dangerous and deadly if not carefully tamed but Ike has not lost his touch, reptiles still adore him. Ike is now 26 years old and speaks with a heavy Bayou accent. Ike is very laid back most of the time though he will show his true temper if someone messes with his reptiles in the wrong way. Ike doesn't perform in the show much, but when he does it's always with his biggest and most dangerous reptiles to show everyone his ability to charm this creatures.

Then finally, there's Farrah Ivy, known as "Supergirl" in the show. Born in Tennessee in the United States. Before she was born, her mother was a paid "lad rat" for experimental steroid's to see what the effects of "super steroids" would be on a young, thin female. However, the scientist had thought the steroids had failed because Farrah's mother showed no muscle improvement, nor any of the usually side affects of side affects showed on her. After almost 7 years of taking them and still no signs of improvement. Eventually she quit doing it, as seeing that they never seemed to work on here, and she moved on to meeting a nice man and settling down and having three children. Farrah was the middle child of the three children they had and the first few years of Farrah's life she seemed like a normal child. However, as Farrah got order, she showed that she had quite a temper and she displayed very unnatual strength. Somehow the unnatural amount of steroids her mother had taken as a lab rat had stayed in her body and went straight to Farrah. Despite this, her parents tried to raise her as any normal child and even let her try out for sports, which Farrah happen to be good a many of them. Sadly, Farrah wasn't a exactly a good sportsman and would play way too roughly, and would accidently seriously injury her teammates because she was much stronger then normal kids. Not to mention, with her temper, she would often throw a fit over something and braking something with one kick or hit that no normal person could. Eventually, she was kicked off every team she played for and was feared by everyone in town. Then things at home didn't get better when she got into an argument with her father and out of angry, completely destroyed his truck with her bare hands. Evenly, her temper and strength was even too much for her parents to handle and they threw her out of the house when she was only 13. Having nowhere to go, she of course took her small bag of belongs and left town, deciding to travel on her own. Luckily for her, the very day she was casted out, the Zikus Outcast was nearby setting up for camp. Later that afternoon, she was in the woods nearby the circus, ripping apart, knocking down, and destroying several large trees when Ruckus happen to find her. He watched her for a while until she started to feel emotional and started crying over the fact that she had just lost everything over her temper and strength and cursed herself for having it. Having a bet of a soft spot for girls back then, Ruckus finally approached her and started to talk to her to help her feel better. Not only did he convince her to join the circus that day so she could have a new home but Farrah also developed a huge crush on him as well.

In present time, Farrah is 15 years old and still has a bit of a short temper and strength, but it's actually only directed towards mostly one person now: Ruckus. While she still has a crush on him in present time, she's not very good with showing her feelings so she sometimes hits him and such, as a way of flirting. She also get easily angry and jealous towards him though because Ruckus is a major flirt (and kind of a pervert) and if she will beat him up with her true strength if she sees him flirting, hitting on, showing interest, or hitting on another girl. She never blames the girl he's flirting with though, always him. Sometimes Ruckus will accidentally insult her and she ends up hurting him over that too. Despite her temper, Farrah actually becomes good friends with Gary, and shows major respect for Alder, Wynter, (Actually almost everyone pretty much shows respect for Alder and Wynter) and surprisingly Ifa, even though she envies her sometimes. Farrah is the show's strong girl. She preforms by mostly lifting extremely heavy objects by herself, and has even gone as far as lifting most of the circus's trucks and even one of the circus's elephants. She even bends and brakes objects that are suppose to be unbreakable and can perform tricks with her strength, and does it all while were a cape to go with her show name, "Supergirl."

The new characters:
Next this man is Dr. Kamuzu of the Eze tribe, aka the circus's "Fortune Teller" and "Witch Doctor" Before he was born, Kamuzu's rich, Italian parent's had taken a trip to Africa to see the jungle, where Kamuzu's mother had went into labor early and had no choice but to deliver him there. While both parents had been expecting to have a handsome, normal child, they was given a rude wake up call when Kamuzu was born with a third, moving working eye in the middle of his chest. Not being very understanding people of deformities, his parent's left him wrapped up in a blanket and alone in the jungle. The poor baby would have been killed by a jungle animal if it wasn't for the fact the a shaman from a nearby African tribe had heard the crying baby and came just in time to save him. The witch doctor didn't even mind that he had a deformity, took the child back to his tribe and raised him as his own son. He named him Kamuzu and taught him how to be a medicine man like him and enlighten him in the affairs of voodoo. Sadly, Kamuzu had to put up with judgment from other members of the tribe and even some harassment and treated him badly due to the fact he was still an "outsider" but his adopted father was the most powerful and feared man in the tribe so he was able to keep him safe. However, when turned 21, his adopted father die of disease and the villagers outcasted him and forced him to leave. Lucky, the witch doctor had taught him well, so between hunting skills, voodoo, and his skills with making natural medicine and healing, he was able to take care of himself for 2 years easily. Then one day, after he had set a couple of traps to capture a jungle cat, one of his traps went off but instead of finding what he had expected, instead he found Ike trapped inside.
The circus had accidentally taken the wrong ship that went to Africa instead of Sydney, Australia. During this time, the circus had to wait three days before the next ship would come to take them to Australia and Ike wasn't going to past off an chance to go into the jungle and find one of the biggest snakes he could. But instead, he got caught in a trap and found the adopted son of a witch doctor. At first, the two had trouble understanding each other since Kamuzu didn't speak English. However, Kamuzu took out an odd voodoo charm and using one of the sharp nails he had at the time, he cut a very small slit into the side of Ike's throat and l let a drop of blood fall onto the charm. Then, much to Ike's disgust, Kamuzu lick the blood off the charm. Before he knew it though, the charm had worked and Kamuzu started speaking English as if it was his first language and he had been speaking it for years. The two got into a argument after that and at first Kamuzu wasn't going to let him out of it for a moment. Eventually, Ike stayed gone too long and Alder went to go look for him. He found him and Kamuzu fighting with each other and Ike hanging upset down, with blood rushing to his head. At first, Alder was annoyed with Ike because he thought he had upset a local of a country he didn't understand however, Kamuzu quickly reveled that he wasn't a local, that he was in fact, outcasted and homeless. Between this new source of information and the fact that he had a deformity as well, Alder easily invited him to joined the circus and travel with them, much to Ike's disapproval.
In present time, Kamuzu has changed quite a bit since their meeting in Africa. He is now very well groomed and wears casual clothes. He's not an easy man to impress either, as between his years of strange voodoo magic and the odd things that happen within the circus, he goes under the impression that he "seen it all." However, he does manage to impress others with his skills. Most commonly known as the "Witch Doctor" of the circus, he is often the one to go to if one is injured and needs treatment. He's also very wise so often so of the younger members of the circus go to him for advise when the have a big problem. As far as the job of the circus's "Fortune Teller" Kamuzu is not exactly a pro at. In fact, when someone comes to them to have him read them their fortune, he often just pulls out a deck of fortune telling cards, watches a person's body langauge and just guesses of what's going on in their live and then blurts out some lame stuff that you could easily find on a Chinese fortune cookie that he thinks would help the person out. Sometimes his fortune telling does inspire someone, though often that person is very naïve or gullible. He's better at just listening to someone's problem and giving them advise. He still does practice in voodoo magic as well, which is sometimes helpful to the circus, but can also sometimes cause problem for them as well if the spell goes wrong or Kamuzu's assistant gives him the wrong thing to a certain cast. Oddly enough, Kamuzu is also the only character who knows the truth origin of Gary's creation and who the man that created the rag doll boy was. Ike still doesn't like Kamuzu that much, the two don't get along. Kamuzu's third on his chest has a habit of watching people and staring even when Kamuzu's main two eyes are set on something else.

This next character is Gypsy, known as "Ink Kitty" and Kamuzu's assistant with his voodoo practices. ((I adopted her from Thank you for her btw! I love her! X3)) Not much it known about Gypsy's past expect that Kamuzu found her alone in the worlds and Alder believes her to be an alien. Kamuzu found Gypsy one day when he had walked away from the circus for a little while to go into the woods and find a certain planet to make into medicine for one of the ill members. He kept getting the feeling that someone was watching him and eventually he called it out, demanding they reveal themselves, and soon, Gypsy came out of hiding. When she shyly approached him and tried to speak to him, Gypsy spoke in some unknown language that Kamuzu didn't understand. So to figure out what she was saying, like he has done when he first met Ike, he took out the voodoo charm and using a small knife (since he fingers nails had been cut off and such) he cut a very small slit to the side of her throat and held the charm under it so blood could drop on it. Despite the fact that instead of blood, an odd combination of black, blue and pick ink come out, Kamuzu shrugged it off, as if it was nothing wrong and licked it off, and before she knew it, he was speaking her language as well. He asked her if she had seen the planet he was seeking and it just so happen Gypsy did and led him straight to it. After digging it up and storing it away in his bag, he thanked her and started to leave, however, Gypsy started following him for some reason. Kamuzu didn't protest so she ended up following him all the way back to the zikus and since she seemed to like him so much, Kamuzu made her his assistant and house pet.
In present time, Gypsy still doesn't speak English and often needs Kamuzu to translate for her if she said something to someone else besides him. She's still shy acting sometimes, and will get scared easily if surprise. Gypsy's body is purely mad of ink, which she has the ability to control the ink from it and transform her body into any form, however, she can only used the three main colors on her body and she often just comes out as a dark figure. She prefers to stay in a normal cat form the most though because she finds it easier to be the pet than to be the nurse.
The last two are the circus acrobat team, Cerise Jacqueline (the girl) and Dimas Melo (the guy). Cerise was born and raised in Paris, France and since she was a young, Cerise had always like to be up in the high places within the air. She would spend hours on her families roof top and playing around on it, lucky having a very good balance so she never fell off. One day, she realized her dream to be an acrobat when she was 16 years old and another circus had came to town. She loved watching the acrobats do they're performance and since that way she started training her body to be flexible and to be able to perform such tricks and such. Eventually, when she was 18, she moved out of her parent's home and into a apartment in the city, and when she became brave enough to take her performance outside and start practicing on the clothes lines that hung over the ally between her and the apartment complex next to hers. While he thought she was performing the risky stunts in private, to her misfortune, she didn't know that a couple of kids played neared the alley and would see her practice everyday. The children went home and would tell their parents of the brave woman in the alley, performing amazing stunts. The parents began to worry that if their children would try to cope her and get hurt or worst. They angrily confronted her and demanded that she leave the neighborhood because she was setting a terrible example for their children. Being pressured into, Cerise moved out and left the neighborhood. Sadly, she had trouble finding another apartment within her budget range and found herself homeless for a while. She did have a bit of money lefted over from when she had a job, but it mostly went to food and she was lucky enough to have a friend who let her use her shower, however this was getting old fast. Eventually, one night, she had heard of Zikus von Outcast coming to town and she was able to come up with just enough money to go see it. While she was amazed by the performance she did see, she was a little disappointed that they didn't have an acrobat performance. After the show, not having anywhere to be, she stuck around and decided to meet a few of the performers. She ended up getting stuck with Ruckus of all people, who was too busy trying to flirt (even though she was clearly much older than him) to answer her question of why their was acrobat equipment set up but no acrobats. Lucky, Wynter came to her aid, told Ruckus to scram, and answered her question that the zikus sadly had no acrobats. Hearing this, Cerise instantly begged her to let her join and let her be her acrobat performer. Wyinter couldn't give her a yes or no answer until she spoke with her husband and Alder met Cerise. After meeting Alder, Cerise had to tell him her story of being throw out of her home for her acrobat training and that she was homeless at the moment. Almost as soon as she was done, Alder welcomed her to Zikus Outcast and she became their leading acrobat.
Now there's Dimas Melo, who was born in Mexico, but was raised among a rather unpopular traveling circus that only could afford to travel around small part of Mexico. Dimas was taught to be an acrobat because he's parent's were both acrobats and so where is 3 brother and one older sister. However, Dimas was always known to get distracted very easily, and one day, when he was 17, before a show, he had hear that his father had said something about getting a divorce from his mother and it upset him and he had forgot to make sure the net that would caught them if one fell while performing place up properly. When it was time for his family's performance, he missed he cue to go and swung down late then did his flip the wrong way and missed his brothers hand that he was suppose to grab. He then fell and because the net was secure, it broke and he hit the ground. Lucky, he wasn't killed because he shifted all his weight to his side but he did break his arm. He managed to get his arm fixed up but the circus wasn't very understanding to his mistake and forced him to leave. His family didn't even protest to it either since they were upset with him as well. Dimas was forced to live by himself in a small town in Mexico for two years and his arm eventually healed up. Then one day, he saw that the zikus was in town and sort of missing his old circus, he decided to go. Then when he saw Cerise for the first time and watched her perform, he claimed that it was love at first sight. Wanting to join the circus just so he could get close Cerise, he stuck around to speak with a few of the performers and had been told by Ike that he could impress Alder that he could easily join. Which Alder is very easy to impress so it didn't take much to spit out his sad story of being kicked out of his old circus and showing him his moves as an acrobat, and Dimas was in the circus and became partners with Cerise.
In present time, Cerise and Dimas work very well together and put on an amazing show. Dimas' crush on her is still very strong, but there's a few things stopping him from telling his feelings to her. One, Cerise is actually 21 years old while Dimas is only 19, which makes a two year age gap between them and Dimas worries that she might not want to date a younger man. Two, Dimas has self confidence issues and sometimes feels he isn't good enough for her. (Though he refuses to let another man win her over.) And three, Cerise is actually made a comment before about older men being more mature and possibly making a better groom because Wynter revealed that Alder was a little older than herself. While Cerise's remark did dampen his spirit a little, he still seems a little determine to possibly win Cerise over one day. Cerise on the other hand is very sweet to him, which just makes him fall for her when more. Cerise is possibly the most optimistic person among the circus, even when everyone else has given up hope on something, she's often the one to push forward, continue searching for an answer and look forward to new beginnings. She's very strong willed and stubborn sometimes, but she also has the habit of appearing cute without realizing it. (And with that French accent of her, she's kind of hard to resist falling for her charm sometimes, so she has a few admirers.) For the show, Cerise and Dimas are always coming up with something new and interesting that shows an artistic performance. The two trust each other very much and knows the other will always be there to caught them.
I want to rp these guys really bad now. I've been working on them for three whole days now and developing their information and such. But don't worry, I still plan on replying to other rps. I just need to finish these guys first. But I really want to test these guys out now. X3

Description

Yup! Brand new characters for a new series think I want to do. X3 (I might even do a crossover with this and Aliens of Judas City.)

Anyways, Introduction time. (Warning: LOTS TO READ! MANY OF CHARACTERS *looks off the the side and mutters* And more to come. )

EDIT: I added one more character.

EDIT AGAIN: 4 MORE CHARACTERS! I told you there be more!

Welcome the Zikus Outcast (Meaning Zirkus meaning Circus in German)

This is a freak circus who is vowed to finding misfits, freaks of natural, beings with unnatural abilities, those who were abandoned, and just plain outcasted individuals and give them a new home, family, and friends by letting them join the Zirkus. They travel the world and perform and allow people who take interest in them to behold their wonderment.
However, they also find themselves face judgment and sometimes hostile individuals who don't understand what their circus is really about and wishes to destroy their way of living.

Now for the characters. (In order from left to right then down and left to right again.)

The first little cute guy is Gary, the "Rag Doll Boy." Gary is literally a human size doll made of just real human skin and fabric; he has no organs or any bodily fluids what so ever, just plain teddy bear stuffing in his body and he somehow still manages to live. Gary is actually the newest member of the circus (and probably the main character of the story line.) Gary's background begins though 13 years ago before he join the Zikus and starts with a very rich, British man and his spoiled little girl. The man's name was Thomas Lerwick and his daughter was Angelica. Angelica was 6 years old and had a love for old fashion, hand craft toys and dolls, however, she felt that something was messing from them. The little girl then realized that she wanted a toy that could interact with her, one that could walk, pick her up, follow her around on it's own and play with her as an actually friend. She went to her father and demand that he get her a human size, living, breathing Raggedy Andy doll. The father was a little stunned by this but wanted his little girl happy so he started seeking out a toy maker who could create this living, breathing doll. It took him a while but he finally managed to find a man who claimed he could create such a doll. Within a week, the creation was complete and the rag doll boy was born. Mr. Lerwick took him home with him and presented him to his daughter. As soon as Angelica saw him and even though he never spoke (Because he's mute), she loved him but could clearly see that he wasn't an Raggdy Andy doll, so decided to name him Gary instead. After that, Gary spent everyday with the little girl, playing with her and following her around wherever she went. He even would watch and pay attention when her tutors would came to school her (Even though most were very frighten by him being a living doll) and he learned to read and write just as Angelica did. The rag doll adored this little girl to death and did everything he could to make her happy. Sadly, as Angelica grew into her teen years, she paid attention to Gary less and less, especially after taking an interest in normal teenage stuff. Then then when Angelica was 18, she moved out of her fathers house to go off to college and pursue her own career, leaving Gary alone with her father and their butler. Mr. Lerwick was very kind to Gary and treated him as one of the family, but eventually, Mr. Lerwick pasted away of lung disease. The butler was suppose to take Gary in after Mr. Lerwick's passing, however the living doll had always made the butler uncomfortable so he just abandon Gary in the Lerwick old mansion. Though Gary didn't need basic food and water to survive, he was very lonely in the mansion by himself and didn't know where else to go. However, a couple of months after Mr. Lerwick's death, Gary was found by the owner and ringleader of Zirkus Outcast. Since Gary can't speak, she used one of Angelica's old notebooks to write out his story (with surprisingly very good grammar) and had the ringleader read it. The ringleader then decided to take Gary in as one of the many outcast in the world and give him a new home with family and friends.

Personality wise, Gary is very kindhearted and gentle being, who just loves children and people in general. He likes to be very helpful towards others and does whatever he can to lend his assistance. He sort has a habit of innocently following certain people around without realizing it, a habit he had developed from following Angelica for some many years. He's also very curious and has a bad habit of seeking out what he's curious about and sometimes gets lost because of it. Though he always finds his way back to the Zikus somehow. After joining the circus, he's very loyal to it and loves all the members in it, but in a small degree, he still hasn't forgotten his reason for being created and wishes to see Angelica all grown up again one day. Because of his kind personality and way with people, even without words, he makes friends easily, and he seems to really like to make friends. For the show, Gary performance it is to prove just how much of a doll he is. He allows people to take knifes and stab them inside of him and even allowed them to cut him up with a chainsaw to prove all that's inside of him is stuffing and yet he still lives.

The man with the fox head is Alder Bathilda, the ringleader and owner of the Zikus Von Outcast. Alder was born in a small village in German. Though the village was modern in technology and clothing fashion, the people still believed in witchcraft, demons, and the devil's work to be real and would hunt down anyone they suspect of it. Alder's father knew this very well and when his son was born with the deformity of having a fox's head, he knew he would have to take Alder into hiding to keep him alive. He raised him by himself deep within the woods and homeschooled him into a intelligent young man. Alder grew up, wanting to play with other children but his father was too protective to let him. Alder never understood what made him different from everyone else so he just thought his father was being unfair. Finally, when a teenager, he decided to dare it and go into the village for the first time to see the sights and meet other people. However, when he arrived, people looked at him with fear, stayed wary of his path and instead assumed he was a demon. Before Alder knew it, the villagers started to to attack him, in an tempt to get rid of the "devil's minion." He had no choice but to flee in order to keep the people from killing him. Eventually he ran so far that he could see the village from a distance but knew he wouldn't be able to return, not even for his father even though he really wanted to. Alder then started traveling on his own, having to take care of himself and go though many struggles to live. He often had to hide his face from others in fear that they would have the same reaction at the people of the village. He worked little odd jobs to make money to feed himself and would walk long distances just to find a place he could be accepted. One day, he came across an actual freak show and for the first time, saw people with deformities like himself. The freaks of nature allowed people to behold in there wonders of their deformities and even performed tricks and such to impress people. Alder was amazed and had the chance to talk to the man who owned the freak show, asking to join. But, the man said that they had too many mouths to feed as it was and could not take Alder in. However, the man was kind enough to give Alder a good amount of money and inspired him to start his own traveling circus and home for freaks like him. From that moment, Alder worked hard to start to Zikus Outcast and create a place where all those who are unwanted could come to. In present time, the circus in up and on the road with many cast members and workers to put on a good show.

Alder is a rather calm, intelligent, and polite man, willing to help misfits and such find a home within the circus, however, like his father was to him, he's rather protective. He doesn't like for anyone to mess his circus and the members and will protect them from anyone who threats to harm them. He's happily married to one of the performers and acts as a father figure towards all members of the circus, since most are younger. Though, he's under stress with having to manage all the responsibilities of the circus and it's members but he tries to not let that get to him. For the show, of course, Alder is the ringleader and announces all the acts but also has a performance where he pretends to be annoyed with the clowns of the circus while their teasing him while he's trying to announce stuff. It gives the circus goers a good laughs and shows him with more of a humorous side.

Next guy is Ruckus Marrios, known as "Defy Gravity" in the circus ring. Ruckus was born in Canada, during a snow storm one day. Being snowed in and had no way to make it to the hospital, his father had to do the best to help his wife deliver their son by themselves. The birth was a success and the Marrios had a healthy baby boy. It wasn't until the first time that his father tried to lay him down in the baby cradle that her discovered that his couldn't lie down in it but instead, somehow flouted over it. To his parents' horror, no matter how hard they tried, Ruckus couldn't lie down in the bed; or crawl on the floor nor could he be seated in a chair. Ruckus only seemed to flout over everything. The more days that past the more he was able to flout higher and higher. Then before long, it was like he could actually elevate or fly over and around object at his own free will, and he could touch things with his hands but his feet would never touch the ground, nor would he ever be able to sit or lay on something. It was like Ruckus could defy the law of gravity. For the first five years of his life, his parents tried their hardest to figure out a way to make him be able to walk on the ground so he could be a normal kid, but had to give up on that idea eventually, knowing he would not be accepted among many normal children for this reason. However, one day while Ruckus mother was driving on her way to work when she accidentally took a wrong turn and came across the Zikus Outcast. Being curious to find out what the deal was, she stopped to get out and look around and discovered that the circus had many different people with deformities and special abilities that made them outcast like she feared her son would be. She spoke to Alder and begged him to let Ruckus join so he could grow up around people that was different like him. Alder went back with her to their home and met 5 year old Ruckus, seeing his amazing ability to defy gravity and agreed to let the little boy join.

In present time, Ruckus is 15 years old and still lives among the circus. Though, Ruckus is thought to be a pretty good kid, he's seemed to get into trouble frequently. Ruckus can be a bit of a showoff, a little rowdy sometimes, can be sneaky, thinks that he's cool and seems to joke and play around a lot. He's constantly getting grounded by Alder for doing something wrong, but he never seems to learn his lesson because he never takes his grounding seriously. He has the worst habit of flirting with almost ever girl he meets. Even if he knows he doesn't have a shot of winning them over, he still flirts for fun. Though, Ruckus does have a belief that every girl is beautiful, and can't stand to hear a girl call herself ugly. He will go though great measurements to prove to her that she is beautiful no matter what. When Gary joins the circus, he and Ruckus become roommates, and while Ruckus wasn't crazy about sharing a tent as first, Gary sort of grew on him easily and know he and the rag doll are very good friends. Though, Ruckus has the worst habit of doing something wrong and then blaming poor little Gary for it. But everyone knows Ruckus too well, so it doesn't really work and he still gets grounded. For the show, Ruckus performs in a white magicians outfit and does many tricks within the air with his ability to elevate and soar around. He even let himself drop out from very high up, a fall that would kill a normal and refuse to caught himself to make the watchers gasp and worry but since he can never touch the ground, he is always stopped a few inches before he hits the floor.

The lovey young lady is Ifa. Ifa grew up in a small city in India with a large of a British and somewhat American influence, where she was a servant for a very rich man. Ifa was born with a deformity where part of her spine had developed on the outside of her skin instead of on the inside of her body. Because of this deformity and the judgmental people of the kingdom, Ifa was forced to hind her deformity from everyone in order to make a living and after her mother's death, no one else knew of her external back bone. Even though Ifa knew she had a disability, he had always dreamed of becoming a belly dancer, being that belly dancers were known to be some of the most beautiful and respected women in the small kingdom. But she feared that he deformity would always keep her from it. However, he dream stayed alive and over the years she was able to talk herself into attempting it. She taught herself in secret to belly dance and even would watch her spine in a mirror sometimes to see how it works. When it came time to prove her skills when she was 16 to a dance inductor, her dance skills amazed her however, once the woman saw her spine sticking out, she was quickly written off as a freak and made Ifa feel like she was unwanted. It didn't take long for word to get out about Ifa's deformity and not before long, every time she was out in the street, she was made into a side show freak. Often she was disrespected by being grabbed by people who wanted to see her spine and rudely had he back of her shirt lifted up for everyone to see. People would even touch her back bone when she demanded them not to and by each passing day, the harassment grew worst and Ifa was made to feel like an outcast. However, as word spread about Ifa, it just so happened that Zikus Von Outcast was in area and Alder overheard people speaking of her. Alder went to Ifa and told her of the circus and how she could be with others who were misfits like herself. While as first Ifa was scared, she was willing to do anything to get away from the harassment, so she went off to join the circus.

Now, Ifa is a full grown woman in her mid 20's and his glad she joined the circus. She is the circus's belly dancer and because of her good looks, even with her spine sticking out, easily attracts young men who finds her attractive to come see the show. Ifa is now a lot braver than she used to be and has it in her head that she can do anything that anyone else can do. However, she often has to be remind that she has limits because if she works too hard she can damage her spine with it being out of her back, it's not protected by skin and can seriously injury or even kill her if she gets hurt. Even though Ifa is a very friendly and out going girl, sadly she does not like to be touched. If she gets touched it reminds her of her days of harassment and therefore will freak out if someone touches her in a way to make her feel uncomfortable. She fears because of this, she will never be able to find a husband but she tries to work on getting over her fear of being touched, however, its a lot easier said than done. The only people she allows to touch her is Alder, Alder's wife, and a little while after he joins and she gets to know him, Gary. For the show, Ifa will belly dance to traditional Indian music and let them she how her spine curves when she does. Then she becomes assistant to those who need one in their performances.

The next like guy is Ozmon, known as "Fish Boy." Not much is known about Ozmon's background expect that he had been mistreated badly just because of his fish-like looks and ability to control large amounts of water and he was outcast to live on the shore of one of the beaches in Spain. Becaming angry and bitter over his mistreatment, Ozmon would scare off tourist who would come to the beach and attack them with water. One day, after Alder heard of the fish boy, the ringleader came to talk to the boy about joining the Zikus. However Ozmon refused to listen to him and started to attack Alder with water. Alder was too stubborn to give up on the boy too easily so he kept trying to convince him to join the circus to be with misunderstood people like him. But the more Alder refused to give up on him, the more confused and angry Ozmon came. It got to the point where Ozmon snapped and surround Alder with water in a attempt to drown him and almost did. However, Ruckus had been with Alder that day, and when he saw what the fish boy was doing to the ringleader, he knew he had to save Alder. He flouted up behind Ozmon silently and grabbed him by the shoulders, causing him to become scared and release Alder. Then to frighten the boy Ruckus flew into the air carrying Ozmon and threat to drop him on some very large, sharp rocks if he didn't agree to join the circus to make up to what he did to Alder. Fearing for his life, Ozmon started crying but agreed to join. Once he was back on the ground, still crying, Ozmon apologized to Alder and begged for his forgiveness. Alder wasn't even angry with him, just welcome him in open arms to the circus. Though, Alder did grounded Ruckus for his course of action with threating to harm Ozmon. Ruckus wasn't surprise. He gets in trouble all the time anyways and gets grounded a lot.

In present time, Ozmon really likes living in the circus and isn't aggressive towards people like he used to be. Now he's quite welcoming of people and actually likes to entertain them. He's very playful and likes to tease others and even make them chase him for fun. He loves playing in water and showing off his abilities when he does. He respects Alder and Alder's wife very much but hates Ruckus. He and the gravity defying teenager don't get along very well and often get into childish fights, often Ozmon being the winner because he plays the victim card and acts like an innocent child that Ruckus was picking on. And again Ruckus gets grounded. Ozmon sleeps in (and considers his room) a large fish tank placed on a flat surface that has wheels under neath it, making it easy to move. He shares the fish tank with several different fish. For his show, assistants with wheel his fish tank into the ring and he will use the water and fish inside of it to put on an interesting water display and control the water in anyway that he wants.

Next, this lovey lady is Wynter Bathilda, Alder's wife and known as the "Jersey Devil." Wynter was born in New Jersey with a deformity where her legs was that of a horse's and she had horns and a tail. Her parent's abandon her at a foster home, where she stayed and was constantly mistreated and felt unwelcome by the other children. Eventually, she learned how to take care of herself and ran away when she was 14 years old. She found an old abandon cabin deep in the woods and started living there by herself. Wynter was a very clever girl, she had heard locals speak of stories of the Jersey Devil and she came up with a good idea to keep people away from her cabin and to steal food from farms. She painted her skin red, took old black bed sheets, tore holes in them, took two rods, put them together, and made them look like ripped bat wings, then took a pair of fake vampire teeth and made herself look like a demon the devil would summoned to do his bidding. She then would go out into the woods at night and make a horrible screaming sound and if people came into the woods, she stand in the moonlight and pretend she was going to attack them. She scared off many people who saw her and he got quite a laugh out of it. She would go to farms and steal food so she could survive and if she was caught scare of the farmers as the Jersey Devil. One night, she was down by the lake and heard someone coming. Already in her Jersey Devil costume, she hide behind a tree and wait for her vitcm to come closer. However, when she jumped out to frighten them, instead of coming face to face with a normal human, she came face to fox face with Alder. She screamed in surprise, stumbled, and fell into the lake, the red paint washed off and her wings broke, revealing her as a fake. She had slightly hurt her ankle and Alder apologized and helped her get back to her cabin, where he bandaged it up for her. For the next few days, Alder took care of her until she was feeling better and they got to know each other. They told each other their stories of being unwelcome and Alder invited her to join the circus. That was how Alder met his future wife.

In present time, Wynter and Alder are happily married but Wynter is going though a bit of crisis where she seriously wants to have a baby. She keeps trying to drop hints to Alder that she wants one by leaving baby pacifiers around his work area, sometimes slips pictures of babies into his paperwork, and even with make sweet comment in front of him when she sees a mother with a infant. However, as a smart of a man Alder is, he seems a bit dense to what she's doing. Wynter is also very protective of the circus performers like her husband and acts like the mother figure of them all. For her performance, she does as she used to and dresses up with large bat wings, paints her skin red, and wears fake vampire teeth and is presented as the Jersey Devil. To give it more excitement, he has learned how be a circus fire breather and does tricks with fire.
Then there's Tavy, known as "TV Head." Tavy is a robot that was created in Japan for a contest to create the best invitation to make people's lives easier. Tavy was created to protect people from criminals threatening to harm them. However, to the inventors shame, Tavy didn't even place and was reject from the contest. Feeling like the robot was a failure, the creator turned Tavy off and threw him in the trash. While the Zikus was in Japan, Tavy was found by Ozmon and the little fish boy thought he was some sort of toy and he took Tavy back to the circus. Alder figured out how to turn Tavy back on and once he did, because of Tavy's programming he saw all the people he thought he must protect.

Present day, Tavy spends most of his time running around the circus making sure that everyone is safe and that no one is out to hurt anyone in the circus. He's very serious about his job and doesn't seem to understand jokes very well. Tavy speaks does speak English buy in a Japanese computerized sounding voice. He's also not much of a performer so he just sits outside of the tent and acts a security while the show goes on.

Next up is Ike Ketplar, the "Reptile Charmer." Ike was born and raised in New Orleans close to the Bayou. When Ike was only 3 years old, his father walked outside to check on his son and found that the boy was playing with a Copperhead Snake. Little Ike would just sit there giggling and let the snake slither all over his arms, shoulders, and neck. Oddly enough, it was like the snake was cuddling and liked to hear baby Ike laugh. When Ike's dad tried to step forward to remove the snake from the child, the reptile hissed and bared his fangs at him, but as soon as he took a step back, it went back to paying attention to Ike. The father had to call the police and have them forcefully remove the creature from his son, which Ike began crying and didn't what them to take the venomous animal away. As Ike grew older, he began to develop an obsession with not just snake, but also other reptiles. When he was just 12 years old, Ike started to collet snakes, lizards, turtles, and even one baby alligator in his bedroom, keeping them a secret from his father. Before long, he had 36 different reptiles in his room that he managed to take very good care of and each of them seemed to really enjoy his presents. However, Ike's father noticed that Ike never made friends with normal kids nor talk or learn about normal things, all he ever wanted to do was stay in his room and talk and learn about reptiles. He also notice how Ike never wanted him inside his room and became too curious for his own good. One day, while Ike was outside for a couple a minutes, his dad went into his room and found all the cold blooded animals his son had collect. Again, dad called the police and had them remove the reptiles, however, this time, Ike went crazy and put up more of a fight than he had when he was 3. Ike actually tried to attack the officers trapping and taking his pets away and when his father tried to hold him back, he bit his dad's hand so hard that it drew a good sum of blood and injured him. Ike tried to attack the police again and had to be handcuffed to the porch while they removed the creatures. Ike then started to scream at the top of his lungs and beat the back of his against the porch repeatedly in a attempt to escape, however, he only ended up busting the back of his head open and knocking himself unconscious. After that day, Ike was feared by almost all of his neighbors and due to the events of that day, Ike was taken away from his father, being considered a danger to others around him and himself, and was taken to the mental hospital. Ike stayed in the mental hospital until 19, but never got over his obsession of reptiles. Finally he escape the mental hospital and ran away. He ended up on the side of the highway, trying to hitchhike to another state when one of the trucks of the Zikus Outcast stopped and gave him a ride to the next state over. Alder was going to allow Ike a free meal and chance to stay the night with the circus however, when the two began to talk, Ike told his story of keeping 36 reptiles in his bed room as a child and how he was outcasted and taken to a mental hospital because of it. This gave Alder the idea to start a Reptile House and allow Ike to be the keeper so that the circus would have another attraction and Ike would have a new home.
Present time, Ike runs the Reptile House with over 250 different species of reptiles, some actually being very dangerous and deadly if not carefully tamed but Ike has not lost his touch, reptiles still adore him. Ike is now 26 years old and speaks with a heavy Bayou accent. Ike is very laid back most of the time though he will show his true temper if someone messes with his reptiles in the wrong way. Ike doesn't perform in the show much, but when he does it's always with his biggest and most dangerous reptiles to show everyone his ability to charm this creatures.

Then finally, there's Farrah Ivy, known as "Supergirl" in the show. Born in Tennessee in the United States. Before she was born, her mother was a paid "lad rat" for experimental steroid's to see what the effects of "super steroids" would be on a young, thin female. However, the scientist had thought the steroids had failed because Farrah's mother showed no muscle improvement, nor any of the usually side affects of side affects showed on her. After almost 7 years of taking them and still no signs of improvement. Eventually she quit doing it, as seeing that they never seemed to work on here, and she moved on to meeting a nice man and settling down and having three children. Farrah was the middle child of the three children they had and the first few years of Farrah's life she seemed like a normal child. However, as Farrah got order, she showed that she had quite a temper and she displayed very unnatual strength. Somehow the unnatural amount of steroids her mother had taken as a lab rat had stayed in her body and went straight to Farrah. Despite this, her parents tried to raise her as any normal child and even let her try out for sports, which Farrah happen to be good a many of them. Sadly, Farrah wasn't a exactly a good sportsman and would play way too roughly, and would accidently seriously injury her teammates because she was much stronger then normal kids. Not to mention, with her temper, she would often throw a fit over something and braking something with one kick or hit that no normal person could. Eventually, she was kicked off every team she played for and was feared by everyone in town. Then things at home didn't get better when she got into an argument with her father and out of angry, completely destroyed his truck with her bare hands. Evenly, her temper and strength was even too much for her parents to handle and they threw her out of the house when she was only 13. Having nowhere to go, she of course took her small bag of belongs and left town, deciding to travel on her own. Luckily for her, the very day she was casted out, the Zikus Outcast was nearby setting up for camp. Later that afternoon, she was in the woods nearby the circus, ripping apart, knocking down, and destroying several large trees when Ruckus happen to find her. He watched her for a while until she started to feel emotional and started crying over the fact that she had just lost everything over her temper and strength and cursed herself for having it. Having a bet of a soft spot for girls back then, Ruckus finally approached her and started to talk to her to help her feel better. Not only did he convince her to join the circus that day so she could have a new home but Farrah also developed a huge crush on him as well.

In present time, Farrah is 15 years old and still has a bit of a short temper and strength, but it's actually only directed towards mostly one person now: Ruckus. While she still has a crush on him in present time, she's not very good with showing her feelings so she sometimes hits him and such, as a way of flirting. She also get easily angry and jealous towards him though because Ruckus is a major flirt (and kind of a pervert) and if she will beat him up with her true strength if she sees him flirting, hitting on, showing interest, or hitting on another girl. She never blames the girl he's flirting with though, always him. Sometimes Ruckus will accidentally insult her and she ends up hurting him over that too. Despite her temper, Farrah actually becomes good friends with Gary, and shows major respect for Alder, Wynter, (Actually almost everyone pretty much shows respect for Alder and Wynter) and surprisingly Ifa, even though she envies her sometimes. Farrah is the show's strong girl. She preforms by mostly lifting extremely heavy objects by herself, and has even gone as far as lifting most of the circus's trucks and even one of the circus's elephants. She even bends and brakes objects that are suppose to be unbreakable and can perform tricks with her strength, and does it all while were a cape to go with her show name, "Supergirl."

The new characters:
Next this man is Dr. Kamuzu of the Eze tribe, aka the circus's "Fortune Teller" and "Witch Doctor" Before he was born, Kamuzu's rich, Italian parent's had taken a trip to Africa to see the jungle, where Kamuzu's mother had went into labor early and had no choice but to deliver him there. While both parents had been expecting to have a handsome, normal child, they was given a rude wake up call when Kamuzu was born with a third, moving working eye in the middle of his chest. Not being very understanding people of deformities, his parent's left him wrapped up in a blanket and alone in the jungle. The poor baby would have been killed by a jungle animal if it wasn't for the fact the a shaman from a nearby African tribe had heard the crying baby and came just in time to save him. The witch doctor didn't even mind that he had a deformity, took the child back to his tribe and raised him as his own son. He named him Kamuzu and taught him how to be a medicine man like him and enlighten him in the affairs of voodoo. Sadly, Kamuzu had to put up with judgment from other members of the tribe and even some harassment and treated him badly due to the fact he was still an "outsider" but his adopted father was the most powerful and feared man in the tribe so he was able to keep him safe. However, when turned 21, his adopted father die of disease and the villagers outcasted him and forced him to leave. Lucky, the witch doctor had taught him well, so between hunting skills, voodoo, and his skills with making natural medicine and healing, he was able to take care of himself for 2 years easily. Then one day, after he had set a couple of traps to capture a jungle cat, one of his traps went off but instead of finding what he had expected, instead he found Ike trapped inside.
The circus had accidentally taken the wrong ship that went to Africa instead of Sydney, Australia. During this time, the circus had to wait three days before the next ship would come to take them to Australia and Ike wasn't going to past off an chance to go into the jungle and find one of the biggest snakes he could. But instead, he got caught in a trap and found the adopted son of a witch doctor. At first, the two had trouble understanding each other since Kamuzu didn't speak English. However, Kamuzu took out an odd voodoo charm and using one of the sharp nails he had at the time, he cut a very small slit into the side of Ike's throat and l let a drop of blood fall onto the charm. Then, much to Ike's disgust, Kamuzu lick the blood off the charm. Before he knew it though, the charm had worked and Kamuzu started speaking English as if it was his first language and he had been speaking it for years. The two got into a argument after that and at first Kamuzu wasn't going to let him out of it for a moment. Eventually, Ike stayed gone too long and Alder went to go look for him. He found him and Kamuzu fighting with each other and Ike hanging upset down, with blood rushing to his head. At first, Alder was annoyed with Ike because he thought he had upset a local of a country he didn't understand however, Kamuzu quickly reveled that he wasn't a local, that he was in fact, outcasted and homeless. Between this new source of information and the fact that he had a deformity as well, Alder easily invited him to joined the circus and travel with them, much to Ike's disapproval.
In present time, Kamuzu has changed quite a bit since their meeting in Africa. He is now very well groomed and wears casual clothes. He's not an easy man to impress either, as between his years of strange voodoo magic and the odd things that happen within the circus, he goes under the impression that he "seen it all." However, he does manage to impress others with his skills. Most commonly known as the "Witch Doctor" of the circus, he is often the one to go to if one is injured and needs treatment. He's also very wise so often so of the younger members of the circus go to him for advise when the have a big problem. As far as the job of the circus's "Fortune Teller" Kamuzu is not exactly a pro at. In fact, when someone comes to them to have him read them their fortune, he often just pulls out a deck of fortune telling cards, watches a person's body langauge and just guesses of what's going on in their live and then blurts out some lame stuff that you could easily find on a Chinese fortune cookie that he thinks would help the person out. Sometimes his fortune telling does inspire someone, though often that person is very naïve or gullible. He's better at just listening to someone's problem and giving them advise. He still does practice in voodoo magic as well, which is sometimes helpful to the circus, but can also sometimes cause problem for them as well if the spell goes wrong or Kamuzu's assistant gives him the wrong thing to a certain cast. Oddly enough, Kamuzu is also the only character who knows the truth origin of Gary's creation and who the man that created the rag doll boy was. Ike still doesn't like Kamuzu that much, the two don't get along. Kamuzu's third on his chest has a habit of watching people and staring even when Kamuzu's main two eyes are set on something else.

This next character is Gypsy, known as "Ink Kitty" and Kamuzu's assistant with his voodoo practices. ((I adopted her from Thank you for her btw! I love her! X3)) Not much it known about Gypsy's past expect that Kamuzu found her alone in the worlds and Alder believes her to be an alien. Kamuzu found Gypsy one day when he had walked away from the circus for a little while to go into the woods and find a certain planet to make into medicine for one of the ill members. He kept getting the feeling that someone was watching him and eventually he called it out, demanding they reveal themselves, and soon, Gypsy came out of hiding. When she shyly approached him and tried to speak to him, Gypsy spoke in some unknown language that Kamuzu didn't understand. So to figure out what she was saying, like he has done when he first met Ike, he took out the voodoo charm and using a small knife (since he fingers nails had been cut off and such) he cut a very small slit to the side of her throat and held the charm under it so blood could drop on it. Despite the fact that instead of blood, an odd combination of black, blue and pick ink come out, Kamuzu shrugged it off, as if it was nothing wrong and licked it off, and before she knew it, he was speaking her language as well. He asked her if she had seen the planet he was seeking and it just so happen Gypsy did and led him straight to it. After digging it up and storing it away in his bag, he thanked her and started to leave, however, Gypsy started following him for some reason. Kamuzu didn't protest so she ended up following him all the way back to the zikus and since she seemed to like him so much, Kamuzu made her his assistant and house pet.
In present time, Gypsy still doesn't speak English and often needs Kamuzu to translate for her if she said something to someone else besides him. She's still shy acting sometimes, and will get scared easily if surprise. Gypsy's body is purely mad of ink, which she has the ability to control the ink from it and transform her body into any form, however, she can only used the three main colors on her body and she often just comes out as a dark figure. She prefers to stay in a normal cat form the most though because she finds it easier to be the pet than to be the nurse.
The last two are the circus acrobat team, Cerise Jacqueline (the girl) and Dimas Melo (the guy). Cerise was born and raised in Paris, France and since she was a young, Cerise had always like to be up in the high places within the air. She would spend hours on her families roof top and playing around on it, lucky having a very good balance so she never fell off. One day, she realized her dream to be an acrobat when she was 16 years old and another circus had came to town. She loved watching the acrobats do they're performance and since that way she started training her body to be flexible and to be able to perform such tricks and such. Eventually, when she was 18, she moved out of her parent's home and into a apartment in the city, and when she became brave enough to take her performance outside and start practicing on the clothes lines that hung over the ally between her and the apartment complex next to hers. While he thought she was performing the risky stunts in private, to her misfortune, she didn't know that a couple of kids played neared the alley and would see her practice everyday. The children went home and would tell their parents of the brave woman in the alley, performing amazing stunts. The parents began to worry that if their children would try to cope her and get hurt or worst. They angrily confronted her and demanded that she leave the neighborhood because she was setting a terrible example for their children. Being pressured into, Cerise moved out and left the neighborhood. Sadly, she had trouble finding another apartment within her budget range and found herself homeless for a while. She did have a bit of money lefted over from when she had a job, but it mostly went to food and she was lucky enough to have a friend who let her use her shower, however this was getting old fast. Eventually, one night, she had heard of Zikus von Outcast coming to town and she was able to come up with just enough money to go see it. While she was amazed by the performance she did see, she was a little disappointed that they didn't have an acrobat performance. After the show, not having anywhere to be, she stuck around and decided to meet a few of the performers. She ended up getting stuck with Ruckus of all people, who was too busy trying to flirt (even though she was clearly much older than him) to answer her question of why their was acrobat equipment set up but no acrobats. Lucky, Wynter came to her aid, told Ruckus to scram, and answered her question that the zikus sadly had no acrobats. Hearing this, Cerise instantly begged her to let her join and let her be her acrobat performer. Wyinter couldn't give her a yes or no answer until she spoke with her husband and Alder met Cerise. After meeting Alder, Cerise had to tell him her story of being throw out of her home for her acrobat training and that she was homeless at the moment. Almost as soon as she was done, Alder welcomed her to Zikus Outcast and she became their leading acrobat.
Now there's Dimas Melo, who was born in Mexico, but was raised among a rather unpopular traveling circus that only could afford to travel around small part of Mexico. Dimas was taught to be an acrobat because he's parent's were both acrobats and so where is 3 brother and one older sister. However, Dimas was always known to get distracted very easily, and one day, when he was 17, before a show, he had hear that his father had said something about getting a divorce from his mother and it upset him and he had forgot to make sure the net that would caught them if one fell while performing place up properly. When it was time for his family's performance, he missed he cue to go and swung down late then did his flip the wrong way and missed his brothers hand that he was suppose to grab. He then fell and because the net was secure, it broke and he hit the ground. Lucky, he wasn't killed because he shifted all his weight to his side but he did break his arm. He managed to get his arm fixed up but the circus wasn't very understanding to his mistake and forced him to leave. His family didn't even protest to it either since they were upset with him as well. Dimas was forced to live by himself in a small town in Mexico for two years and his arm eventually healed up. Then one day, he saw that the zikus was in town and sort of missing his old circus, he decided to go. Then when he saw Cerise for the first time and watched her perform, he claimed that it was love at first sight. Wanting to join the circus just so he could get close Cerise, he stuck around to speak with a few of the performers and had been told by Ike that he could impress Alder that he could easily join. Which Alder is very easy to impress so it didn't take much to spit out his sad story of being kicked out of his old circus and showing him his moves as an acrobat, and Dimas was in the circus and became partners with Cerise.
In present time, Cerise and Dimas work very well together and put on an amazing show. Dimas' crush on her is still very strong, but there's a few things stopping him from telling his feelings to her. One, Cerise is actually 21 years old while Dimas is only 19, which makes a two year age gap between them and Dimas worries that she might not want to date a younger man. Two, Dimas has self confidence issues and sometimes feels he isn't good enough for her. (Though he refuses to let another man win her over.) And three, Cerise is actually made a comment before about older men being more mature and possibly making a better groom because Wynter revealed that Alder was a little older than herself. While Cerise's remark did dampen his spirit a little, he still seems a little determine to possibly win Cerise over one day. Cerise on the other hand is very sweet to him, which just makes him fall for her when more. Cerise is possibly the most optimistic person among the circus, even when everyone else has given up hope on something, she's often the one to push forward, continue searching for an answer and look forward to new beginnings. She's very strong willed and stubborn sometimes, but she also has the habit of appearing cute without realizing it. (And with that French accent of her, she's kind of hard to resist falling for her charm sometimes, so she has a few admirers.) For the show, Cerise and Dimas are always coming up with something new and interesting that shows an artistic performance. The two trust each other very much and knows the other will always be there to caught them.
