Description

The Goldhammer Circus is a field of set of old, ratty circus tents and trailers owned by a now (mostly) defunct Russian Circus Troupe. While the sounds and lights of the circus can be seen each weekend, you'll rarely meet a person in Seattle who has gone to--or wants to go to a show. How they stay in business is a mystery.

Why Does This Exist?

I love having characters who know other runners; they feel more immersed in the world, and they're easier to pick up and play or apply to runs with because you feel like you have built-in backup. Problematically, though, I found myself talking to the same few people when I get character ideas, which meant I wasn't being as inclusive as I'd have liked, and I was making it more difficult to play with other amazing players on the Haven. This is my IC solution!

Making a Circus PC

When you make a character for the Goldhammer Circus, you do NOT need to ask for permission. You're welcome here! There are only a few basic rules to follow to make this make sense:

  1. The Ticket Agent is your first fixer.
  2. You should speak Russian as a primary language.
  3. Make your character ALSO fulfill a role in the circus, (at least at a very surface level.) This can be as an entertainer OR as a staff member such as popcorn vendors.
  4. No grudges between circus folk. We're all friends and we've got each other's backs!
  5. The Circus has operated in secret for several years now. Your PC should not revel in murder and violence, nor should it intentionally bring heat down on the Goldhammer Circus or Shadowhaven.
