Never thought I'd be stuck in this stuffy old building, with a bunch of rich folk. Life takes some turns huh, cupcake?

Nikkou is a student of Theus Institutum o Magicae and a member of the Epi Brutus House of Magi. A capricious person, they were originally a sex worker, who used their illusion magic to help entertain and amuse clients. With no family, they were raised with the other members of the brothel and are very close to them all.

They were spotted using magic by a teacher, and reported to the government. To hide the teachers' connection, the Institute offered them a scholarship to study. Though they take little of their education seriously, they excel at control of magic due to being forced to learn control from a young age and with little outside guidance.

Their foci is the pipe they often carry around with them, and they often use the smoke from it to create images or faces to interact with others.

Novus Theus is a massive metropolis and a city steeped in history of magic and creation. People journey from far and wide to visit the city itself, as well as the famous Theus Institutum o Magicae. With an array of museums, an active culture, as well as a constantly moving nightlife, it has become a haven for students, adults, and historians alike. Modern technology exists, limited to transportation and communication, though some substitute their magic to fulfill those roles, even though magic is strictly monitored and registered with Foci.

Theus Institutum o Magicae is one of the most well known Institutes of Magi, led by the last living heir of King Theus himself. A sprawling and massive ground, with beautiful white walls, and many decorations for each house, the building is somewhat of a tourist attraction, despite not opening its doors to visitors. Many of the students go on to become famous and powerful figures throughout the world.

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.
