As the first set refers to one of the characters here, I figured it best to post the two near one another. Again, information about them will be listed out below!
Nemo-Master Climber with the best sense of humor.
Nemo is by far one of my favorite characters I have made thus far. This character actually has nothing to do with Circus Town as they tour the world to see its sights. Nemo does not go by any gender pronoun and doesn’t see theirself as ever having a gender (not like they do anyway). When asked about their gender, they will drag you around in a drawn out joke till you finally give up.
Nemo is incredibly loud and high energy, always ready for a new adventure! Despite being created from the same parent cell as Omni, Nemo is their complete and utter opposite. Nemo feels no strong family connections, as a typical pluris wouldn’t either, but still enjoys being social. If there is a party, count them in. They have a type of personality that can either be incredibly amusing and fun or just straight up annoying-there really is no in between. However, on the plus side is that Nemo rarely if ever gets angry just as Omni. This is another typically pluris trait, but their laid back personality has also allowed them to preserve that trait.
Nemo will visit Circus Town from time to time due to the hiking and climbing attractions of the lovely mountainous area. Plus, there’s a circus in the center of it with lots of candy floss??? What’s not to like???
Leopold Merrit - friend to everyone.
Leopold, or Leo as he prefers to be called, runs the circus town. He’s a jolly guy, friendly to each passing person. Leo takes the cake as one of the most down to earth people in the world. I’ll try to run through his story in as few words as I can, but he is a fascinating person.
Leo came from a rich family and became fascinated with the circus when he was a young boy. He worked very hard to start off his traveling circus idea for years to come as a child. His parents admired his dedication and loved him deeply. They wanted to support anything he wanted to do. So they aided him. He created a traveling circus from a young age, his parents at his side step by step. He spent several years until his mid 20s doing only a traveling circus. But he wanted to do more. So he decided to take his savings and build the circus town in the most beautiful area he could find in between some major cities. He worked hard to secure everything and allow store owners to set up camp and join in the community he wished to build. Chuck was one of the first people, having lived nearby. Chuck was never married, as he was married to his work. He had been to several of Leo’s shows, so he admired him.
Omni was created about two years after the town had begun construction. The Circus Master now having been dating a lovely woman for a few years. His to-be wife oversaw much of the construction and helped with designing advertisements for his idea for the town. Chuck offered to build a mascot carving for the entrance from the parking lot. Which is still standing today. Chuck wanted to settle down and live in a much prettier place and decided that the town would both suit what he was looking for as well as contribute to this man's glorious dreams. So he set up shop. Construction went by quickly as many of the people who had loved the man's work began sending donations to build the town. His parents sent him weekly checks from their profits. (His mother is a master jewel craftier who gets commissioned almost constantly from wealthy people world wide as well as owning and managing her own jewelry store chain. Leo’s father is a world known mystery novelist.) They'd send him half their profits, still allowing money for themselves to maintain their nice living.
The next couple of years, Omni was still having trouble finding where to go and what to do. They often would get paid cash for doing house work for people, but the poor bean didn't have a place to live or a lot of nice clothes. Pluris don't need to eat too terribly often in a pinch, so they managed. The circus master still did tours now and again as it would be a waste to leave his nice traveling carts to rot. So Omni got the chance to actually see the performance by bumping into Chuck, who was on the ride with to assist with all the heavy lifting. Omni got into a conversation with him, and Chuck genuinely liked them. Omni was about 3-4 years old; they weren't dressed rather nicely. Upon finding Omni had no where to go, Chuck offered to pay their entry fee to the show since they typically wouldn't be able to view otherwise.
Since Omni had been fascinated with a recent colored skeleton that past by and it was a feminine day, this is where their Lavender Skeleton form became a bigger part of their life. Omni was amazed by the show, adored it. And Chuck asked the Circus Master if Omni could join the trip since they had no other place to go. The circus master then gave Omni a job for the trip. Omni hasn't left them since.
Both Chuck and the Circus Master did eventually find out what Omni was a couple years later, kind of by accident. Each acted a little amazed and a tad over curious, the circus master even more so (cuz it would be an interesting act to add to the show.) Omni did forgive them, as they were like family. Pluris are kind of a hush-hush species that don't really announce themselves to anyone, to which Omni explained. But the two were super cool about it since then. Omni's been with the circus town and has watched it grow over the next 14 years. But the circus master is such a loving guy and he takes care of his people. His parents died when Omni was about 12 years old, and out of all his years, that was the first time he has ever missed a show. He even scheduled a day for both mourning and appreciation for loved ones.
Leopold also had a daughter a few years ago with his wife. However, his wife did not survive long after the child’s birth. This was the second time the Leo ever missed a show. But he understands that there will be loss. He has done his best to support his daughter Lillian since then with the help of all of circus town.
*Lillian - Like mother, like daughter.
I would like to point out that Lillian is three years older than Monochrome. So in current RPs that are available between this blog and @the-printers-jammed Lillian is still a baby. This is simply what she looks like years in the future.
Lillian is Leo’s daughter, and oh my did she take drastically after her mother. Lillian is a headstrong child with no fear of failure. She is incredibly intelligent and will eventually apply her skills to managing circus town when she grows up. She’s got such a goofy sense of humor and loves picking on Monochrome in a harmless way. Lillian is a very supportive person who wants everyone to achieve their best.
She loves the color blue, specifically baby blue. This may be in part to her favorite baby sitter from the town having worn the color often. Another fun fact is how little interest she has in any form of relationship other than family. To Lillian, everyone in Circus Town are family and that’s all she needs to be happy.
