NPCs.

The Birling Brothers are the co-owners of the circus. Whether or not they’re actually related or simply trying to rival the Ringling Brothers is widely disputed. The three men claim to be descendants of a family who worked a trapeze act in one of America's very first travelling circuses but again, the details of this are hard to pin down. What is known though is that if you cross one, you cross all three.


ROBERT BIRLING.

The brains of the operation, or so the other two let him think. Robert put the circus together from scratch after discovering his own superhuman powers. His favourite hobby is trawling the country for new acts and it isn't unheard of for him to derail the route to chase down some new powered human. Married to a former cooch dancer, Alicia, who’s at least ten years younger than him, the pair have two -somewhat tellingly- dark haired, handsome children.
ROLE. The Boss.
POWERS. Mild persuasion.


EDWARD BIRLING.
Handsome and as charming as they come, there's no doubt Edward's the one really pulling the strings. Quick with a joke and always found with a beautiful girl on his arm, he's also incredibly manipulative and sly. The whole circus knows he's been having it off with his brother's wife for years but whether Robert has any idea is another story. So far, no one's volunteered to tell him.
ROLE. The Underboss.
POWERS. Telepathy.


JONNY BIRLING.
Lacking the intelligence of his brothers, Jonny is perpetually drunk and perpetually angry. He tends to take his frustrations out on the roustabouts, regularly clapping them round the ear or worse. Jonny is primarily responsible for organising the train porters (ie. telling them who to redlight) and kicking the asses of any roustabouts not working hard enough.
ROLE. The Muscle.
POWERS. N/A. Something else that's a sore point with him and should never, ever be brought up.


ALICIA BIRLING, NEE LAWRENCE.
A former cooch dancer, Alicia charmed her way into Robert's affections six years ago. She's since left the cooch tent, become the wife of a circus boss and had two children -Rose 5, and Abigail, 3. Despite her seemingly friendly and warm nature, Alicia remains a bit of an enigma. No one really knows her -except, perhaps, for Edward- or where she comes from. She remains tight-lipped about her past and how she became a circus performer in the first place.
ROLE. The Boss's Wife.
POWERS. Telekinesis.


MARIA CARTER.
Maria is responsible for the journal system which links the notebooks of everyone on the circus together.
ROLE. Supporter.
POWERS. Communicative.
