OOC Information OOC Name: Tategami Seabawks Link to Previous Character: Reika Hjarta General Name: Circus Bells Alias: Circus Species: Lupus Gender: Male Age: 4 years Pack: Loner Rank: n/a
Physical Height: 37 in. Weight: 64 lbs. Appearance: Circus is a strange wolf to look at. Tall and skinny, with wild eyes, one green, one blue, and fluffy fur of a magenta-purple tone. Swirls of lime green and bright blue trace across his shoulders, and flecks of black adorn his underbelly.
If the wolf world knew anything of graters, they might liken Circus's voice to a rock rubbing up against one. Rough and vaguely unpleasant, he speaks in a rambling, often incomprehensible dialect curious to him alone. On the rare occasions when he deems it fit for him to burst into song, any wolf nearby would be wise to distance themselves as quickly as possible.
Circus's step is staggering, as though he is always drunk. He constantly trips over his own paws and stumbles over the smallest of objects. To add to the display, his left forepaw and hind right paw are adorned with metal bands, from which bells jangle constantly, announcing his presence for miles. Other: The bells are explained below~
Mental Strengths: Friendly- he can get along with just about anyone Agreeable- he doesn't argue much Good Listener- he doesn't mind it when people vent to him Secret Keeper- anything told to him will be kept secret even unto death Gentle- he wants nothing to do with violence, and his generally kind Metal Wielding Power- although he isn't particularly adept at it's usage, he can silence his bells and make small trinkets. Weaknesses: Oblivious- he doesn't see very much of the world, save for that which interests him Easily distracted- he can go from one thought to another without pause Hard to understand- his speech patterns can be hard for some wolves to follow Weak- in a fight, he doesn't have much of a chance Not very stealthy- the bells on his paws alert everything to his presence. Prone to "fits"- he has moments of either awful rage or debilitating fear or sorrow, which appear out of nowhere. Personality: Circus is... different. He is of the opinion that the world cannot exist if he doesn't see it, and seems to believe that most of the world is but a figment of his imagination. He drifts about with no real place in mind, because he thinks that his mind will always bring him to somewhere worth being. This makes him generally agreeable, as there would be no point in arguing with himself.
Approaching everything with a puppy-like enthusiasm, Circus can come off as a dullard. This is true and untrue at the same time. Circus is actually rather bright, but his thoughts move slowly, and between thinking and speaking, his words become muddled, and his meaning is all but lost.
Despite all of his little quirks, Circus is friendly to most everybody. The only time that he strays from this is when he has one of his "fits."
With his mind constantly in a state of blissful fantasy, Circus knows little of reality. However, sometimes his mind will be able to struggle into sanity, in which case he will see the world as it truly is: dark and full of pain. When he realizes this, he becomes deeply depressed, knowing that the world he loves so much is mostly just a fantasy. Sometimes, rather than depression, he becomes enraged, cursing the Great Spirits for fooling him with pleasant dreams and total naivety. However, no matter what happens, he is certain to sink back into his mind soon enough. History: Circus comes from a long line of metal wielding Lupuses, all of whom have their own... quirks. Growing up in such an environment, Circus idolized his uncle, who told him stories of the Great Spirits, and the Sky Woods, where the spirits of wolves hunt and feast and lounge about as the mood takes them. He taught the young Circus that the Great Spirits made the Sky Woods as the true world, and that the world that they lived in now was but a test to see if they were worthy of the real world.
It was in this mind set that Circus began to see the world as fake. His mind twisted the idea so that he could know that the world he inhabited wasn't real, and yet not be bothered by it. By thinking only on the surface, and not diving into the depths of his philosophy, he manages to avoid the unpleasant shock of living in the real world.
In the tradition of his pack, when Circus came of age his parents used their combined skills to attach the metal bands to his paws. The bells, they told him, would ward off evil spirits, and attract good ones. They taught him to muffle the bells with his own fledgling skills for when he hunted, but advised him to only do so in cases of dire emergency. His uncle left him with a word of advice: to never trust a smiling jackalope.
Without much to go on but basic survival skills and a distorted view of the world, Circus left his homeland to prove to the Great Spirits that he was worthy of the Sky Woods. It was out in the harsh environment beyond his comfortable bubble of family and friends that he first began to think deeper about himself and his world, eventually popping the safety net he had formed. This was what led to his first fit.
Since that time, Circus has avoided any talk of his philosophy. He keeps it to himself, and allows other wolves to go about their business. After all, to him, they are more than bits of his imagination and touches of the Great Spirits. Other: Anything else you might have missed

Circus looks really interesting so far c:
But you will need to edit this bio a little bit. The appearance section is under the minimum word count of 150, so can you add some more words to reach the minimum word count. Also, I don't see any clear mention of Circus' elemental power, so can you add it somewhere in this bio please.
Reply here when you've finished then I can look at him again c:
