Julius
60
Julius is a precious little freak. literally.
he works and lives at Marcella's traveling circus as a freak show actor.
what put him here? well, for one, he's an orphan. he was abandoned by his parents at the circus when he was 4. and that leads us to the second reason. he was abandoned because he is extremely hyper mobile.
the ring Master hadn't wanted him until he saw his abilities. and from then on he was trained and put in the side shows as a famous attraction. the contortionist human spider.
but even with his popular act, and the other acts in the circus, this didn't keep the circus from slowly going out of business. the rumors didn't help, either.
rumors that the ring master was negleting the animals, underpaying the staff, and other things. of course, all of it was true.
he's now thirteen. but he can't read, and that has led him to sign many contracts that he doesn't understand. he also had severe asthma, but has no inhalers, so he often passes out, especially after a taxing performance.
(you can be anything you want. another performer planning a revolt, an audience member who longs for the good old days when the circus meant something, or even a new ring master, searching for new recruits. you choose!!!)
