Ezra

Ezra & Rabid heart

Fear made flesh (The jojo oc)

Background and pre-circus profile

Very little is known about the early childhood of Ezra Ruell
As far as he claims to recall, he's been an entertainer in an underground fight club, where he would perform dangerous acts between different shows
As he got older, he started performing as the main event, fighting an increasing number of rabid dogs who've been trained to fight
He has trouble recalling events and durations given he had no access to sunlight for much of his life

Eventually, it was too much even for his body; As his body gives our under the mountain of claws and teeth, one dog bites into his neck very deeply
As he recall it, he felt a new vector of motion unlock for him, as if he had his hands bound his entire life, and he doesn't recall the rest
He apparently had a form of blackout and woke up in police custody

That day became history in the city he was in. After prolonged sounds of screaming and terror, the police found the fight club; many bodies shredded to a degree that it took forensic experts weeks to determine their identity
And in the middle of the slaughter, almost like a blooming flower, they found Ezra, unconscious
After extended psychological tests it was determined he's not criminally liable in lue of "Insanity". He was later integrated into the circus as a form of 'rehabilitation' into social circles, hoping to make him functional again

Among the many quirks that inhabit Ezra, his 'stand' is the biggest one
He has the executive ability to manifest a mental extension of himself which can freely move through space and alter objects physically. Along with this, certain mental, telepathic abilites and space time manipulation has been cited

Rabid heart

Ezra

It is not fully understood the extent of physical and mental abilities that Ezra's "Rabid Heart" posesses; Or how many of them are physical and how many are forms of illusion
These mental projections of one's inner power, 'stands' seem to have certain static characteristics; Destructive power, Speed, Range (Inversely proportional relation to destructive power), Durability/Stamina, Precision and development potential
While compared to other classes of stands rabid heart is weak (sporting a B, C, B, D, D, A respectively), his power is uniquely very dependant on his abilities

These are Rabid heart's abilities as described by Ezra
'Hunt' Describes Rabid Hearts tendency to see an increase in all stats as the "targets" becomes more scared and starts producing adrenaline
'Howl of chains' is Rabid heart's unique howl, which produces a very distinct sound that seems to encase any listener with a very deep feeling of dread
'Dogmatic arena' is the pocket dimension Ezra can produce on immense stress or pain, which allegedly has many eyes and teeth which chomp out of any being put within. While never directly observed, Ezra seems to have the ability to selectively 'walk' this pocket dimension on will, and is not affected by the chomps
It is currently not understood how conscious Rabid heart is at all, but Ezra seems to have a different personality while its manifested which is proxied as its own

Role in the circus

Ezra himself is an escape artist. He has an exceptional ability in quick thinking and finding ways out of tight and difficult confinements

Rabid hearts shows aren't very common for PR reasons, but if there are little to no children and vulnerable demographics present and Ezra already has a show, Rabid heart may perform too. His performance is essentially instilling fear into all the viewers which excites certain audiences

Interpersonal relations and circus policies

Ezra is not a very social person and Rabid heart is barely interacted with separately if ever. He seems to have a deep respect and sense of protectiveness for the circus, but he's very socially inadept and often needs supervision on what is ok and not ok to say/do in any given situation
Fortunately, he's very cooperative and does not resist learning too much

Silk

Silk & Sickle

Web of life and death

Background and pre-circus profile

Jude Mercer was born in a very poor family
As part of a militaristic project to fabricate super-humans with hightened physical and mental capabilities
The idea is by injecting fabricated 'organs' into the systems of developing children, they may be able to develop characteristics similar to the host of that organ
Spiders were particularly favoured due to their incredibly flexible physiology and the quiks of how they digest food outside of their stomach
select poor families with children of various age range where picked and given funds for testing of 'harmless vaccines'

Jude was pronounced dead and the family was reimbursed; were most of the children involved in the trials
His body took on the spider organ particularly well. but while he was still scared and figuring his new body over, he was put over intense physical and psychological tests
During a brief blackout, he manages to break free of his confines and live on his own

Due to the intense effect the organ's hormones have on his brain, his mirror have associated love of peers with the same parts of the brain that regulate hunger and palate
As a result, he's unable to psychologically eat anything but human flesh, which after long periods of starvation fragmented his mind into two distinct identities
Silk, as he's later coined to be. the core identity and Sickle, the drive to solve hunger

Sickle

Silk

While many of Jude's physical characteristics are improved, some of them are conditionally disabling; A good example of this is his vision
The eyes that are facially located are not functional anymore, but the 8 that have grown out of his head function well
A unique attribute of this is how he covers his eyes with his hair while he's interacting with strangers, both for safety and acceptance
Another unique characteristic of him is his spider legs. He's learned to connect them together which increases their dexterity and makes the blades' placement more defensive; While sickle prefers them separate and blades extended

Role in the circus

Due to the unpredictability of his fragmented identity, each part in his mind is treated as a separate performer for safety and efficiency purposes
Silk, stage name "The gentle web-spinner" does unique aerial contortion acts using his webs; While he's technically fully blind while performing, so he relies on differences in air pressure and spacial awareness similar to Vae

Sickle's act is very dangerous and only performed in occasions
It revovles a custom dome which encases him with many robotic targets that have human flesh planted within them, which he can smell
The entertainment value is how brutally he rips apart what is infront of him
Make sure there are no mirrors or reflective surfaces in which he can see himself in, which causes intense fragmentation and mental agony

Interpersonal relations and circus policies

Silk is generally very timid and softspoken. He tries his best to be cooperative. He does not handle most medical conversations well, so everyone tries to avoid talking about them with him around; Same goes for parental conversations or mentions of food

Sickle's interactions long and short are in his feeding. Silk is unable to stomach eating humans so he takes over for him. He's not malevolant in nature, but anyone interacting with him needs to respect his boundaries and be wary of him
He doesn't speak to anyone in anyway, but he does have a rudimentary form of body language

Cher

Cher & Vail

Wrath-bound grace

Background and pre-circus profile

Acheron Harlow (Nicknamed and called Cher hereonafter to avoid confusion) is allegedly the half breed child of an angel and a human
His father could not stay and his custody became of his mom and later stepdad
Cher was abused and mistreated for not being a normal human child
Among many of his quirks and oddities, he has large wings that he's come to try hiding
His dad had expected Cher's difficulties integrating into human life, so he eventually tethers a guardian to Cher, which keeps him company; Vae illi (Nicknamed and called Vail hereonafter to avoid confusion)

Cher's only friend had always been vail, but vail is ultimately a pure blood angel; something which Cher is not
When Cher turns 14, he decides to suicide due to the pain inflicted to him from having to live as a looked down upon halfbreeds, as he felt like he had nowhere to belong to. Both worlds have seemingly abandoned him
But Vail, upon feeling the mental pain Cher have been going through on a physical level, decides to start getting more involved with Cher's life and choices

As Vail takes over, choosing to physical incarnate at certain points, he starts by getting rid of Cher's biggest source of pain, his parents
Cher, distraught by what he sees, forces Vail to only ever manifest when absolutely, unequivocally necessary
Of course, that's at Vail's discretion, which is where the friction between them happens on an emotional level
As intellectually divine Vail is, he tends to fail and misread the complexity behind human feelings and interactions; The fact his only experience to take from was the very abusive parents of Cher does not help this at all
The problem lies in how truly powerful vail is in executing his 'judgement'

Vail

Cher

Cher seems to possess some form of healing and telepathic abilities; He however strongly insists on denying this
Both Cher and Vail fashion large non-vanity wings which lets them be mobile through propolled flight; Although Cher tends to not not use his wings as much as possible
The exact extends of Vail's powers are not understood, but he has a strong inclination towards Cher and tries to listen to him
He appears fully blind, but he does have full spatial awareness that extends through walls and obstructions

Role in the circus

Cher's role consists of his signature 'Angel's descent' whereby he descents slowly using his wings to glide down onto a thin rope that's leveled with a body of water. He then gracefully walks over it without using any rigging or balancing mechanism as his wings help him balance

Vail's role is a dangerous show of his power using fire and lights
It consists of him walking through fire as multiple decoys of him made of light attack him, which he deflects and 'defeats'
Despite the safety concerns, he's apparently not affected by fire in anyway and his decoys are spawned by himself

Interpersonal relations and circus policies

Cher has a really good relation with Acheron, they spend a lot of time together
While Cher is not typically comfortable around many people, he's been seen allowing Acheron to do certain intimate acts with him (Touching his wing, hugging etc.)
It's been deemed unharmful and allowed as far as it helps Cher and Acheron to stay emotionally stable

Vail does not typically speak with anyone unless needed
He seems to only really stay in the circus because it makes Cher happy; Although he has an ambigous affliction based on some form of 'recognition' with Vae
