Meet The Cast of Dark Circus
The Ring Master
I am the ringleader of the Dark Circus, the mastermind behind the twisted and chaotic world. My given name stopped being used years ago, I can no longer recall it….. No matter, I am now simply referred to as the Ringmaster.
My circus promises to bring visitors face-to-face with their darkest fears, all orchestrated by cheery-ol’-me. In my youth I was told something dark resided in me and they were right, I could feel it. I knew it. As an adult I wanted a place for those like myself, so I created the Dark Circus. A place for the psychopaths, the deranged, the sociopaths, the castaways and the forgotten to call home.
But be warned, those who enter the Dark Circus do so at their own peril, for though I am but the ringmaster, I bear no responsibility for those who choose to work for me…
Jack Boks
Jack was a respectable family man with a wife and three kids, who went to work and paid his taxes. That was until he started hearing the music. Day-in and day-out he couldn’t get the music in his head to stop.
dun dun dadda da dun dun daaadda…..
When he joined our circus he arrived with blood on his shirt and a mile-long smile. Ever the family man, he showed up with his family in tow. Each in their own box. He said, “The music had finally gotten quieter….” for now…..
Lady Astra
Meet Lady Astra, the cryptic fortune teller who possesses the gift of foresight. Despite her blindness, Astra sees beyond what living. With a gift of reading people’s untimely demise.
However, the cost of her services is steep but what would you give to know your future …… your eye for
her sight?
Chin Marionettes
Meet Gustav Chin, the puppeteer who creates life-sized marionettes for the Dark Circus. Gustav creates some of the most hauntingly beautiful marionettes in the world.
These dolls are so detailed you would swear they are alive.
Happy
Meet Happy, the malevolent clown whose twisted laughter echoes down the corridors of nightmares. Beneath the garish makeup and painted smile lies a madness that can never be erased.
Happy's only source of joy is look of terror in the eyes of the Dark Circus guests.......
.............. and Happy DOES like to laugh.
Otto and Olga
Otto found Olga, at a very young age, wondering alone at the Circus. He took her, raising her as his own daughter in a cruel and twisted house. After enduring years of hardship at the hands of her “father” Olga finally snapped.
Now Olga lives alone with the corpse of her father Otto. Always welcoming to new guests, she is always looking to play the games she missed out on as a child ……. but be warned - she is slightly unhinged.
Mortis the Magician
A magician never reveals his secrets … or what happens to his volunteers once they go missing.
Mortis, brings magic out of the realm of illusions and into the world of the occult. Watch as he saws a woman in half and fits her perfectly into a box.
When it comes to Mortis, he always has a trick up his sleeve.
The Wanderer
The Wanderer is a man who is often spotted hanging around the Dark Circus. Not much is known about him.
No one knows where he came from or how he got here. He is our watcher, he is our witness and he makes sure that what happens in the Dark Circus, stays in the Dark Circus.
The Wanderer has been promised whatever guests wander too far from the circus as his own reward for our protection.
Once his cage is full of wayward guest, he hauls them
deep into the forest.
No one knows what happens back there. We have all heard the screams, we smell the rot but no one dares ask why the cage returns empty.
Stay close to the bounds of the circus because he may see you before you see him. If you DO see the Wanderer……..RUN
BASH-Ful
Basha was never quite right. As a child she smashed anything that would splatter. She loved to see it drip. As she got older her obsession to turned to the living!
she lives to see things splatter….
If you see BASH-Ful and her mallet, move fast, before it’s your blood she puts on the trees!
