Circus Zone Headcanons Part 2

Here’s the rest of the birds!

(Lengthy under the cut)

L U P

HOO BOY

Next to Taako, she is what people come to SEE

She is full of life and fire and glory

Acrobat, magician, knife thrower, fire breather, and tightrope walker

Never uses a net while tightrope walking, only an umbrella to keep her balance

Has an act of throwing bigger and bigger knives at Merle and sometimes Taako until they are set on fire

Nicknamed the Phoenix because she has his act where she breathes fire and it seems like it’s consuming her bUT she emerges literally from the ash pile looking powerful and Obviously Better Then You

She wears a body suit that is suggestive, especially when the ash is covering her

Fire just seems to love her just like everyone else

Protective Big Sis

I mean they’re twins but whatever

She has no tolerance for people who fuck with anyone in IPRE especially Taako

She is a force to not be reckoned with

Makes Sure Taako is taking care of himself because he didn’t for a while when they were separated 

Easy fit with the troupe

Met Barold during a show

He was an audience member down on his luck and last penny when Lup smiled at him as she was flung up into the air 

She met up with him after the show even though that’s sort of Not Allowed

Barry admits he wants to join (not cause of Lup at all) but also because he doesn’t have anything else left to lose

Lup takes great interest and pity and drags him to Dav and says “I want this one”

She gets him a job as the clean up guy who is also super smart and knows how to fix trains and man them so Dav can have breaks

Loves it when he watched her perform

Eventually they do a knife act together and it is the bomb dot com

Dav decides to put him into the show much with Lup’s encouragement 

OH YEAH SHE PLAYS THE FUCKIN VIOLIN TOO 

She develops this act with Barry where he plays below the tightrope with a piano and she is above playing a duet on the violin

It is a precious moment that really silenced the crowd into awe

She falls in love 

Feels the need to constantly keep getting better and stronger 

Car is very similar to Taako’s except now she has two beds :)

BARRY J. BLUEJEANS MY BOY

College rejected his works and study

An explorer of the unknown and science and of course dead things

Has a jar collection of bones and preserved things

No job and no where to go he pays to see the circus that rolls into Neverwinter

Falls in love in many different ways 

Happy/embarrassed when Lup takes him to see the ringleader and display his talents

Which are none

But cleaning up is fine, he doesn’t mind the heavy lifting

Besides he gets to talk to Lup a lot now and watch the shows for free

He never gets tired of it ever

He’s amazed at the talent people can bring to life in the ring

One day he finds an old and dusty piano in the caboose of the train where everything else is kept like meaningless storage

Begins to play and is surprised it’s still in tune when it should be impossible

People hear the playing and oh yes, Dav has to add this to his show

Barry becomes a part of an act, one with Lup they practiced for ages where he catches her as she falls with her violin in a burst of ribbon and color

Dav notices the jars of the dead things and decides to use this as well as a sort of side show attraction, like a pre show before the actual show

Loves to show people his collection and scaring the crap out of people sometimes

He does exaggerate at times what’s in the jars but it’s for entertainment and show

Has many different pants some studded and sparkling jeans, some dark denim with designs in them

It’s his thing 

He had fallen for Lup the second she had fallen from the sky

He just didn’t really realize how big his crush was until they performed together

Used to sleep right next to the dog kennel but now shares a car with Lup

Gets picked on by the troupe but it’s all in good nature

Second body guard besides Magnus 

Too afraid to go back to his big family cause he thinks they’ll be ashamed of what he’s become

A performer and not a scientist

Has a whole lotta love in his heart and it shows in performances

MY MAIN GIRL LUCRETIA

I got one word

BUBBLES

BUBBLE SHOW

No one really knows where she came from, one day Dav introduced her to the group and everyone was like aight

She keeps to herself on the train, her car full of books and trinkets she’s collected on their travels

Gentle soul with little to say

Almost shy

BUT IN THE RING HOLY SHIT

She is grand and powerful

Uses a large staff to create bubbles into shapes and massive sizes

The crowd is in awe and cheers when she makes a bubble around herself and it pops and just glitter flies down over her

Her hair is a stark white even though she is pretty young due to stress and time 

Dav accepted her into the group after she begged him to let her join just as an accountant, someone who could keep track of records 

She isnt ‘extremely attractive’ or all that talkative so why even give her attention?

Yeah aha NO

All she wants is to prove herself that she can become something

She can do something and leave a mark and make people happy

She develops her bubble act with the help from Merle and Lup who are trying to think of a way to contrast Lup’s fire act

She has a dancer body

At one point the fire and bubble act converge and its the sickest shit you’ve ever seen

She keeps a diary of her adventures and the people they meet and the places they visit on their travels

Her and Dav become best buds and definitely spend long nights talking about the show and trying to make it better

She becomes a powerful ally when it comes to getting out of scrapes with the law because shes a smart cookie

That’s what I got so far!

Circus Zone Headcanons

Hoo boy okay this came from a fever dream and now I have a blog about it whoops. 

Lets begin shall we?

(Lengthy under the cut)

Innovative Perfomances and Real Entertainment

IPRE is a traveling big top circus that travels all over the country

Human AU

Takes place in a semi-steampunk world where technology old and new are combined

The Starblaster is the name of their train 

It’s painted this faded white with tacky little multicolor stars all over

Davenport hates the name

SPEAKING OF OUR BELOVED CONDUCTOR

Davenport or Masterport in this au is the ringleader of the circus as well as the conductor

Was really down on his luck after not being accepted into the military academy he had been preparing all his life for

Grandpa died and he inherited the fucking train he which Dav ignored for a while, never selling it due to nostalgia

Watches a circus roll into town and his head almost explodes because he has an idea

He is going to take this hunk of junk, repaint it, and make the best damn show anyone has ever seen

Slowly gained the members of IPRE one by one along with the others like Johann and Avi and Carey and Killian and more

Takes care of his beautiful boy (the train) which he grows to love

Everyone calls it the Starblaster because of the cheesy stars

Runs a tight ship (train?) when it comes to keeping things in order and on time

Also runs from the police because he never really got permission to do any of this? Or drive a train? Or start a business???

He doesnt have a permit and he certainly isn’t a trained professional but oh well :)

Wears a cute little top hat and has a GREAT MUSTACHE he has pampered

Sees the troupe as children he needs to guide and care for

Takes in runaways and strays because they keep moving foreword with their acts and always creating and being original

Very stressed though over money and running from the cops

Knows that if they lose the circus they lose everything so he does everything in his power to keep them alive

MERLE HIGHCHURCH

Lol he’s not in the show

He tried to sing and act and even preach to a crowd once. Hoo boy

But what he can do is attract people’s attention

Smooth talking mother fucker

He’s their PR or basically the guy that stands and shouts at people to come see the circus

He’s too old for a lot of intense tricks but he’ll wear clown make up and get pummeled around a bit by flaming knife thrower Lup or Magnus’ animals

He is very good at convincing people to come, great with children

His own kids sometimes see the shows and during the summers travel around with him on the train

Also the resident doctor on board

Unethical methods keep people from getting sick or hurt but when the time comes you gotta let him do his thing

Collects a lot of herbs and medicine on his travels as well as books about medicine

Attracts the older rich women and their grandchildren to come see the show

Car is full of plants hanging from the ceiling

Loses his eye when the rival circus gang comes rolling around to terrorize IPRE

Has a fake arm from when Magnus failed to save him from an attack after people claimed he swindled their money away from him

Makes the best dang drinks on the train

Makes them strong for Masterport

They bond over chess and talking about the past and the others in the troupe

Needs to make people laugh and lighten up at times

Knows they’re a messed up bunch so all the more reason to keep things sunny

MAGNUS STRONGMAN BURNSIDES

Strongman/Animal Trainer

Wears a bear mask and cape with wrestler pants

Bodyguard of the troupe 

Ran away from Ravensroost after it’s destruction

Same story as canon

Was seen by Masterport when he was doing underground fighting in order to earn money

Originally hired to be a bodyguard but was encouraged by Carey and Killian to show Dav his amazing strength

Put into the show shortly after ripping a log the size of Dav in half

Has an affinity for the animals in the show and cares for them

Signature act is pretending to wrestle a bear (they’re actually the best bros)

Slight anger issues when it comes to hecklers and customers who want to fuck with the troupe

But can be a gentle soul 

Aching to find love again

Ends up in jail a lot and the IPRE troupe has to break him out due to fights and looking like a threat when they arrive in a new town

His personal car is very minimalistic

Big bed and quilt. Some weights. Wood shavings all over with whatever his latest project is atm

Repairman when it comes to furniture as well as some of the train

Fucked Up boi needing a family again

Protects the troupe because he couldn’t protect his town from burning  

Takes his job seriously but never forgets to have fun

Does sick stunts with the flip wizard twins by throwing them up in the air and catching them and its just fucking cool can you imagine?

IT’S CH’BOY FLIPWIZARD

I know you’ve been waiting for this

This is gonna be a long one

Acrobat? Magician? Chef? He can do it all 

All his acts are done with Lup

The acrobat show is the center of attraction for the tent

They use silks and lights to give it that little umphf

Flipwizard techniques 

They completely trust each other, not ever dropping one another or making a wrong move

The magic show is another jaw dropper because twins

Taako can look like he’s teleporting from place to place because of Lup

Matching outfits

Taako is doused with glitter every night so he looks like an ethereal being flying high and acting like gravity doesn’t exist

The gap in his teeth is from a fall he took when Lup and him were little and learning how to make mistakes 

They lost each other for a while after social services caught up with their lack of parents and broke them up

Taako met Sazed in a home and they ran away together to start a show for other foster kids and homeless people

Taako gained his flair and absolute need for attention from these years of being praised by fans

The whole Sazed thing happens and he’s on his own until he finds Lup again at one of the early, less grand shows of the IPRE circus

She’s trying to see the acrobats act just like he is but they realize there isn’t even an act like that in the show

They basically get the job with a few choice words to Dav who is in desperate need to make his show actually good

They both need each other

Through the circus they’re able to stay together and nothing will ever bring them apart again

Because he is a very gorge almost not real human many customers and audience members want to see more of him

Very used to people grabbing at his skirt and his hips

Hides bruises and hickies on the daily 

Heavily guarded when it comes to his personal problems and demons 

He is a performer, he does not feel what he does not want to feel because he can control his emotions

His car is filled with crystals and soft lights

There are beads hung across the ceiling 

Lanterns everywhere cause aesthetic 

Desk is full of make up stuff and accessories 

Not a very good bed but many blankets and pillows

Keeps fan letters and admirer gifts in a chest under his bed

Hates being in debt to people 

Thinks there’s always a catch to everything

Also! resident chef on the train

Seriously they would’ve died without him making meals from nearly nothing

Big flirt and knows it

Incorporates as little clothing as possible into his acts

Enjoys the fuck out of it

That’s all for now! I’ll probably do the rest of the crew later.
