Name: Christian Coma Age: 23
He’s a very simple, overactive and hyperactive young man, he grew up in the Circus due to his parents being performers and doesn’t imagine doing anything other with his life, not like he’d be able to leave if he tried, as threatened by Jinxx many times. He’s loving, caring and just gets on with day to day life as a performer, otherwise known as Ashley’s best friend. The pair are mischievous together in a fun and innocent sense, though it’s CC’s duties to make sure Ashley doesn’t get too far ahead of himself and allow his obsession to consume him. This is the insight of a simple young boy willing to go to any ends for his best friend.
Name: Jake Pitts Age: 24
He doesn’t remember much about his life before the Circus, all he knew was that he did have a life before it, but not a very happy one at that. The Circus in a way saved him from the terrors that still consume him in his nightmares, he’s deranged and confused. He’s Jinxx’s right hand man, his servant in many circumstances and does whatever he’s told. He doesn’t have a choice in any of the decisions and despite the fact he’s got a good heart, he knows better than to defy his master and although disagreeing with the treatment of the animals and ‘freaks’ he complies, taking it in his stride to block out feelings. This is the life of a young deranged man with no choice.
Name: Jinxx Ferguson Age: 25
He is the Boss of the touring Circus, the ring leader that is feared and in charge of everything. He is quickly on his way to becoming one of the richest men. He spotted Andy on the streets, used his charm and pretended to give him everything he could desire. How spiteful he could have been with his lies. He knew Andy’s beauty would captivate the public eye, he would be considered a ‘freak’ simply because of his features, his body, his muteness and his behavior, Jinxx was greedy for the money. He isn’t merciful, he doesn’t care about others feelings and especially Andy’s, he’ll lock him up like an animal and destroy him until he’s beyond repair. Transforming him into an attraction that will give him all the money he could desire. This is the insight of a Monster.
