Hi Me, I'm Me.
Cirque de la Fée is a wonderful circus that's internationally known for its peculiar otherworldly atmosphere. True to its namesake, those who have attended claim that if one wanted to experience real magic, then making a weekend trip to visit this circus was a sure way to do so. They had it all: the tarot-reading, the fire-breathing, the death-defying… but also special attractions onlookers could get lost in for hours, beautiful areas that focused on all-things relaxing, and foods with exquisite flavor that, when eaten, would take consumers on dream-like journeys. However, entry is strictly limited, so one can imagine the price paid to experience such a wonder. Not that the circus sold tickets. In fact, entry was gained as a reward upon winning certain contests.
These contests varied in theme, but was open to all participants. Some countries have even made gaming shows centered around these contests, finding excitement in the feats accomplished, but also in discovering just who got to visit the circus. Upon return, winners were always interviewed but the best kept secret were the details of just what the circus had to offer. "Just something you're going to have to experience for yourselves." With no videos or pictures available to see what's on the inside (magic all on its own) and no one giving any details beyond simple basics, the hype of being able to visit such a place is huge.
So. Come one and come all. That is, if you can win.
~~~~~~~~
Beautifully exotic. Devilishly talented. Extremely deadly.
The Fae are beings known for their mischievous trickery, but living under the guise of a famous circus that has enthralled the entire world is on a whole other level of deceit. Various types of Fae all live and work at the circus campgrounds, but they do not consider it their home. Under the rule of the Prince of the Unseelie Court, they have been banished from the Otherworld and have since been trying to find a way back. In the meantime, they are still quite fascinated with humans and can't help but become involved.
Those unfortunate enough to pique the interest of the Fae are kidnapped (successfully replaced by a Doppelganger -- the only kind of Fae that actually wants to live in the human world) and are subjected to various unpleasantries, including but not limited to: enslavement, forced marriage, and sacrifice -- all for the purpose of keeping their Fae lifestyle going.
So, what becomes of your fate when you are the one that gets taken? Are you enslaved? Are you destined to die? Though the ultimate question: can you escape?

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR:
6 participants total. Currently claimed spots: 6
- Participants must have at least two characters: one Fae (see below) and one human.
- Must write 3+ paragraphs for each post per character.
- NO SMUT, but romance/intimacy encouraged. RP rated R for violence and all other things.
- Strive to post within 4 days, the latest being a week on your turn.
- Turn based posts: we pick a number and post in that order (I will be #1 for obvious reasons lol). It will give people a chance to actually participate while navigating busy lives. Numbers will be picked during OOC discussion.
- Pairing: I think… I'm gonna implement a pairing. A Fae will be assigned a human. This will guarantee interaction, but interaction is obviously not limited to the pairing. Assignments will be given upon participant acceptance and CS completion.
- Are under a glamour that makes them appear human. This glamour becomes thin at night, giving the circus its famed otherworldly atmosphere.
- Have individualistic supernatural powers, some used for attractions at the circus.
- Interested in humans for one reason or another.
- Satyr: part human, part goat. Loves luring people with dancing and feeds in a vampire-like fashion. However, can be kind and gentle toward children and the elderly.
- Goblin: thieves and overall villains. Are companions to the Dead.
- Ankou: think Grim Reaper.
- Elves : we are familiar with
- Kelpie: loves the water. Tends to eat deer, but do eat humans. Males can shapeshift to attract young women for consumption.
- Merfolk: we are familiar with
- Pixie: naughty, who like playing practical jokes on both humans and Fae alike. Loves flowers.
- Salamander: a type of Fae associated with the Fire element
- Create Your Own: approved by me first though, please.
If interested, please post a short, brief summary of the kind of characters you have in mind.
