@smiley thx!
So next I think I’ll talk about…
My trapeze Artists!
SO gonna be honest, I have no idea what their race is called XD!!!I’m not sure if they’re gonna be tied into my animal-like race I have in mind (A general race that takes the traits of animals-completely different from Shifters) or something on their own.
But basically, they’re kinda inspired after the tooth fairy from Rise of the Guardians, and birds.
Like the pic above, they have feathers covering their body-their faces, down to near the tips of their noses, and they can be varying different colors, and they also have “Wings,” but they’re connected by the underarms, so they aren’t wings that “Sprout” from behind, like with Icari or Pixies.
This is the species overall.
The two In Cirque are a twin team (Boy and girl) named Zephyr and Celeste.
As children, the two were injured in an accident, resulting in their inability to fly.
They are able to glide still, but they have to already be at a high enough level. They can also be lifted by the wind occasionally, and carried upwards, as their bones are light/hollow like a bird’s (and this also makes them rather small compared to other races and more prone to injury. Basically rather petite.)
The two are definitely colorful, as their feathers are vivid, a reminder of the gorgeous tropics from which they’re from, and their personalities are just as bright. They don’t let their injury stop them from soaring to new heights, though they are protective of each other-Zephyr especially of his sister, as he tends to blame himself for their accident.
Due to their beautiful feathers/wings, they’re race is highly sought after by traders/slavedrivers/poachers and a variety of other wicked sort, but they’re thankful to have found a place in Cirque.
Though…things could definitely be better.
Still, they try to make the best of things. While mostly sticking to their own selves, and keeping their nose out of other’s business.
Celeste’s even engaged to someone within the troupe.
Yes, as long as they keep their noses clean, and their feathers unruffled, things will be just fine…
(They’re part of the marvels troupe)
Celeste looks like the picture above, her feathers form a makeshift skirt around her waist and to her knees.
Her brother’s feathers slick back at the top of his head a bit, resembling a more male-like hairstyle. He’s taller then she his.
They both have talon-like feet, like a birds and tailfeathers that jut out from their lower backs.

@godlyfantasy12 You’re so welcome!!! ππ Ooh, can’t wait!
June 26, 2023 at 9:23 pm #149003SO THIS ONE!!!
AHHH Yall….I had the idea for this one due to a scene with November (surprising? Nah XD) So I’m excited…
(Rather hard finding a single image for her tho I have pics of insp0)
Calypso
Calypso is a Siren-she falls under the Marvels tent.
Sirens, in my book, are Mets who have gone rather…well…mad. Or violent. The change from Nymph to Mer didn’t go as well as would have been liked for them, and sadly they were changed even more so then their Mer counterparts, which messed with their mental and emotional health.
Sirens are cunning, sneaky, sly and rather dangerous, though not all Sirens are like that. Some do get a bad rap, and have been known to turn a new leaf and overcome some of their mental problems-especially through future generations, as some of the children are less prone to hostility. It just depends.
Sirens have unique vocal cords, and have the ability to move soundwaves that affect peoples’ mental judgements, drawing them in until eventually they decide they’re done with them.
They use these people for their own gain, as toys, personal slaves, and for the more…unstable, animalistic of them…
Human sacrifice….
Though most are drawn to those with good-spirits and pure hearts, some are drawn to those with gorgeous outward appearances-and if they have both, it’s even better.
A few Sirens are obsessed with the idea of “Stealing their souls,” in order to gain their finest attributes, wether that be their beauty, or their pureness. This comes from their original Nymph traditions, (human sacrifice wasn’t involved, but the Nymphs (and now the Mer) had their traditions, and valued beauty and purity, before becoming Mer, and those who didn’t take to the change of becoming Mer well, and became mentally unstable took those traditions and…well…amplified them.)
Yea…rough right?
ANYWAY!
The sirens live in various places In the sea. Some live together, while other travel alone, or in groups, going from place to place.
Calypso has become a main member of Cirque’s troupe, filling the crowds with wonder and fright whenever the curtain rises, revealing her shielded aquarium that has been raised from below.
She lives in the seas around Cirque, and also makes her home beneath it in a grotto that can be entered from Cirque’s beach, but also from the Main Tent, down a ladder that takes them underground.
This is where her “Aquarium” resides, which connects to the sea, and goes from floor to ceiling. The rest of the room is a dark grotto setting (imagine wet cavern, seaweed growing, a single lantern hanging from the ladder area)
She can come and go as she pleases-one of the only ones not quite under Zolten’s iron fist. But he’s not all that worried. She doesn’t really care about what he or the other land-dwellers do.
Though…Zolten has made it extremely clear that she NOT touch Jocelyn…
(Ya know…the whole stealing humans with pure hearts and good looks thing.)
But….
Her friends are a different story…
Calypso has white, pearl colored, scaly skin. She has gills along her neck, and fins on her ears, and long fins like a betta fish that goes from the nape of her neck down her spine and tail. Her tail is a bit of a translucent blue that kinda glimmers when she swims in Cirque’s murky waters, and her large wings match.
She has a full side swept hairdo that is a bit curly/wavy, and is a pearly white (kinda the color in the pic above.)
Her eyes glow a bit, and are a bit narrowed. They’re a bright blue, with yellow specks in them. She also has colorful scales along her face and body, adding some color to her otherwise pale form. Her fingers are slender and her nails a bit long.
She has small canines, a bit like Nyx, almost unnoticeable.
When she goes into “Siren form” (ready to attack) Her eyes turn bright yellow, contract and her fingers become a bit more bony than before, nails becoming more clawlike. Her canines come out as fangs and hisses quite loudly. She then wraps her body around her prey and drags them down to the depths of the sea.
When singing, her eyes glow a brilliant blue and her fins also shimmer/glow a bit, giving her a beautiful, ghostly appearance.
When Sirens sing, it is said that, whoever is being affected will begin to see whoever it is they love the most-dead or alive.

@godlyfantasy12 Scary π π Really cool though!!!
This is really cool, but truth be told, it sounds like the city of cirque needs some desperate help. π I think that’s what you’re going for tho…right?
