OK!!! So I don’t have everything figured out with these three… BUT I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THEM!!!!
These three are brothers…and I don’t totally have their race/species figured out yet but I’m taking inspiration from the Minotaur/tieflings and such.
First, the eldest brother-
Ludo (Last name TBD)
Ludo falls into the Marvels tent.
Ludo is the “Strong man” of the Cirque. (Every circus has to have one XD)
I don’t know everything about Ludo and his brothers, tbh, and could use some ideas, but I do know that Ludo can come off as a bit menacing at times. In truth, he’s a big softy, and overly protective of his brothers-to the point he can come off as pushy and controlling when it comes to them, forcing them to be quiet if they know things. And if he feels they’re threatened, yes, he’ll do whatever he has to to protect them. His size and strength is foreboding, to say the least, and he has quite the mischievous side, and a bit of a wild streak, which is another reason he can come off as menacing. He just wants his brothers to be left alone, which is why he prefers to scare Lyn’s new friends off when they try to investigate.
He’s also married to Celeste (Last name TBD) and is very protective of his young, petite bride, who seems to be the opposite of him, and he’d also do anything to keep her safe as well. There’s a bit of tension between him and Celeste’s brother however…
Not that he has anything against Lyn herself, or her little kit, (the kit and the girl has some spunk, and he kinda likes that actually.)
Appearance: Purple skin like above, a tail that has an arrow-like tip at the end. Feet are fairly normal, if a bit large and maybe more claw-like bone structure. Has white horns with the gold bangles like in the pic above. He doesn’t have the piercings like above, but he does have a scar over his right eye and has black hair that curls a bit. Pointed ears like above.
He’s VERY muscular and rather tall, and wears a white strong man’s shirt, and sometimes a jacket over it, with black jeans and boots with metal at the tips.

#ProtectSebJuly 4, 2023 at 9:29 pm #149506NEXT BROTHER!!!
(Love him)
Fortuno
This character is very new.
He’s the middle child of the (Name TBD) brothers, and I haven’t fully decided if he falls into the Marvels tent, or one of the other tents.
Anyway, Fortuno is the sweetheart of the three. The romantic. He dreams of being a writer, and is a natural born poet. He’s very sensitive and a bit naive. When he was younger, he was the brunt of a lot of teasing and bullying, which resulted in him becoming closer to his brothers, but also a bit more withdrawn. He’s very affectionate though, and tries to see the best in others, and wants to do what’s right.
He worries about his brothers, and is the caretaker of the group. He has a soft spot for Lyn and Nyx and Lyn has a large spot for him in her heart.
Appearance: Blue skin, tail like his brothers, (forgot say Ludo has green eyes), he has bright blue eyes with brilliant golden specks, but his eyes turn gold in the dark, and wears an outfit like above. He carries around a pen like he’s holding in the picture, usually keeps it in his pocket.

#ProtectSebJuly 4, 2023 at 9:36 pm #149507Awww I love him, and the sibling trope is my favorite, And it makes sense he’s overprotective, but just an idea
what if he wasn’t the wild one, like instead it was his younger brothers who were kind of crazy
kind of a used trope in my books XD
I also like the fact that he has more than one brother
There was a KP article that pointed out how many times the character only has one sibling, even though it’s more popular to have more than one sibling
Do me a favor…. Tell Cress I meant it
-ThorneJuly 4, 2023 at 9:39 pm #149508Oooh the romantic one
those are the best ones (sort of XD I have a large range for guys XD)
although I could see why he might get picked on
Does it take a lot of strength to perform in the circus, if it does, that might be a struggle for him, and maybe something he gets in trouble for
Do me a favor…. Tell Cress I meant it
-ThorneJuly 4, 2023 at 9:50 pm #149511And the youngest brother!
Sever
The youngest of the brothers, Sever takes more after his mother, who was not a minos at all (I’m not sure what she is, but she is more of a human race with powers?) Because of this he resembles more so the half-breed he is, which made him a large target as a child for abuse, as Half-breeds were looked down upon where he and his brothers came from. Thankfully he had his eldest brothers to help him, but it didn’t stop him from gaining the scar that now rests over the bridge of his nose.
Sever falls into the cogs tent, although he could easily fall into the Marvels. He doesn’t wish to, as he sees the Marvels as prideful, hoity-toity sticks in the mud. (Except for his brother….and his wife. She’s okay too. Though it took a while to warm up to her.)
Celeste’s brother however? Different story.
Sever has a mischievous streak to him, and loves to cause trouble. He often hangs out with the jesters, and Nyx. The little kit loves mischief just as much as he does. Lyn’s pretty cool too.
Piece of advice, don’t mess with his brothers, especially Fortuno. Things won’t be pretty if you do. Despite being the youngest, Sever can be just as tough and menacing as his eldest brother, and all the more protective. The things the three of them went through as a child made them closer and stronger, but also a bit distrusting.
Appearance: More human-like in appearance- Caucasian but a bit silver tint to it. White/silver hair like the pic above, black horns (and the same black , blue eyes and a silver tail like his brothers’ tail. Wears an outfit like above. Wears a black, mechanical-like glove with blue crystal at the end. Also a mechanical leg brace due to an incident as a child.

so….I have a lot of Marvels so far (and even more ideas for some XD) but I’m thinking of the other tents….
I don’t really have many other ideas for charries for them??? Like actual side charries…
I think maybe I’ll come up as I write, or maybe I don’t need many actual charries? But they’re more just a group tent?
Idk. I do know I want at least on more Cogs Charrie.
and maybe a Vizards charrie or two… but they don’t have to be large charries, ya know? Idk….
OH!!! I do need help with something tho…before I continue with my side characters…
