I am one of you no matter what, and I’ll prove it over and over if I have to. I’ve earned my place, this is my home!

Chūsei is a Kirin girl that was brought over from Japan during the second world war, as a child. Her parents, using their influence in the Kirin Clans, fled under Italian protection to keep her safe from the threat of bombs. She became part of the Venezia’s household, protected by Crow after her parents passed away.

Growing up she longed to prove she was powerful enough to be a soldier but was initially viewed as a hot-headed child with no right to be in the battlefield. Not just because of Crow's protective nature and her concern for her daughter’s safety. She was determined to prove herself, so took on the challenges to be initiated, refusing to let anyone baby or belittle her efforts. After passing with flying colours, though still reckless, she was able to officially join the family as a soldier.

Chūsei is very competitive and aggressive, quite often acts before she thinks and because of this, others worry about her. She is incredibly hard-working though, and is very proud of her place in the Venezia Familia.

Torn apart by human folly and destruction, we rebuild and we survive and continue to thrive.

An alternative reality of Earth where bombs fell during WWII and destroyed the majority of life and left incredible scars. Leaders from each country placed defenses to protect their capital cities and in place of what society used to be sits mafias, gangs and clans who rule in what is left. These leading households are primarily fantastical beasts and gods, and are often at war with each other for resources and land.

The Venezia-Futuris are seated within the Water City, Venice, where there is no longer water, and the entire city is kept afloat and protected with magic. The Mafiosa's home is a reformatted St Marks and its boss is Crow Venezia-Futuris. Nature has begun to overrun the world, and technological growth has halted, with magic replacing it for the most part. Many lost souls come to the Venezia due to their philosophy of building family through choices, rather than blood.

Hometown
Born in Namie, Fukushima, but was evacuated during the war. Lives in Venice now and has for most of her life.
Occupation
Soldier for the Venezia Mafia
Abilities
Physically athletic with enhanced strength and speed thanks to her Kirin blood. She has heightened senses, which allow her to fight far better than most. Skilled in combat and able to pick up skills fairly quickly, as long as she learns physically. Talented at martial arts, though tends to lean towards less graceful forms of combat.
Family
Birth parents died when she was a baby, has distant relatives back in Japan. Was raised by Crow, who filed adoption papers for her.
Mannerism
An aggressive and competitive person, she doesn’t like giving any less than one-hundred and ten percent in everything she does. While she’s hardworking she is also reckless and takes foolish risks when she has been upset or wants to prove herself. Quite prideful, she values honor and family above anything else, even though she’s still quite childish in how she approaches these beliefs. Easily embarrassed by affection, she draws a line between her, while still behaving quite like a fan towards those she respects. Wanting to be as similar to them as she can, specifically Crow and Mihos.
Health
Very Healthy, if often injured in recklessness.
Speech
Well-spoken and clear when she speaks, though her voice is often excitable and forceful. She uses very little slang, apart from nicknames for those she’s close to. Her accent is a ‘slightly-off’ Italian accent, due to still having remnants of her Japanese accent that she grew up with. Uses honorifics, especially with authority and those she respects. Was taught a variety of languages growing up with Crow, primarily uses Italian, Japanese and English. Greatly enjoys cursing at rude foreigners in their own language.

Bella, I have another routine for you to try out. How about we get some time together so you can practice, love?

Adrien works with Bella quite closely, practicing dance routines and creating music that will match her performance style. Though he is slightly over familiar with her and will sometimes receive threats in return. They've developed a teasing, playful relationship. Adrien likes getting her to come out of her shell and is trying to help her find comfort in other people's presence.

He also enjoys buying her new outfits, often dragging her out with him. Adrien has let Bella see into his mind so she has a good grasp over his feelings and how he struggles with himself and his upbringing. She shows signs of frustration at him hiding his struggles, but doesn’t bring it up. They very rarely discuss their pasts, he finds comfort in knowing she understands a similar upbringing and they fill their time with not thinking about their struggles.

Current

Adrien found his way to the Limbo Freak Show by chance. They were performing in town, to offer solace to the people during a hard economic hit. When he saw their show he saw a chance to escape from the life he'd been caged to. They saw his interest and saw something in him that was seeking freedom. He agreed to join them and travel to help bring light to other people.

He became their musician and choreographer. The Show has given him a sense of family and he's coming out of his shell a lot, finding comfort in their company.

History

Adrien was born to two musical geniuses. Isabella and Mateo Giovanni de Luca. The atmosphere he grew up in was suffocating and very strict. His oldest sister, Maria, grew to be cruel and unpleasant as well. Both Adrien and his younger sister, Ani, were struggling under their parents. Neither wanting to be constricted to their parent's plan for them. Even from a young age, Adrien has been very talented with instruments and music. The pressure of his parents made him avoid his responsibilities as much as possible in order to push back about it.

Becoming a little jaded and neglecting himself and his emotions, he tried to protect his sister as much as possible. When his father died, his mother grew even more controlling. Likely to help bring some more control into her life, that she believed she'd lost. When he realised she was going to lock him into a life he didn't want, he left home with no word to his mother or sister, only giving Ani a way to contact him.

Important events

Evacuation from Japan

Around the age of twenty, he finally managed to pull out from under his controlling mother. Not long after his father died and her treatment and personality worsened. This event helped him escape an abusive situation, and opened up his life for freedom and a chance to be comfortable in himself again.

Joining the Venezia

Met and joined the freak show very soon after leaving home. Working a dead-end, boring job just to survive, he went to see them perform in the nearby town and was brought in by day/night, who saw a great deal of musical talent in him (As well as a lot of pain).

Meeting Mihos

A few years after having joined the freak show, he received word from his sister, Ani, that she was free from their parents and searching for her own direction in life. This event took a great deal of weight off his shoulders. Adrien is highly proud of his sister, and writes to her as much as he can.
