I am forged from stars and war and the power of a vengeful god. My gender does not define my worth, I am all I wish to be.

Epona was born into a noble family in Imperia, a city of great power and status. Best friends with the Princess of Millaria, they wanted nothing more than to protect her, loving her deeply. However, in order to join the army and fulfill their duty to her, they had to take on the persona of a man. An outstanding soldier and part of the Princess’ personal guard, they thrived, both hidden and comfortable in the life they had chosen for themselves.

One day, they protected the Princess from death at the hands of an enemy Champion, because of this great act they were to be promoted to Paladin. On the day of their promotion, they were killed by an angry god, whose champion they had killed.

This act of killing them from anger, and unjust punishment, resurrected Epona to become one of the Sanctified. They gained powers of the stars and horses, but with no place left in the world, they joined the Limbo Freak Show. They now protect the Show in return for a place to stay.

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

Leaving home

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 show

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).

Reconnecting with his sister

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.

History

Born from the spirit of a great wolf who died at the base of the Fadarossa Forest, Lancelot became a guardian to protect the great creatures around and within the forest. When the griffin were slaughtered and the Eshire castle burned, he went to try and help and instead found a single figure, Cousaria, almost dead and buried under the ruins of her home. Restoring her health, and bonding his life with hers and giving her the same immortal life as his own.
