So, I was re-reading Ms. Peregrine's School for Peculiar Children, and I was reading about Emma's backstory, about how she went to go to a circus. And it made me think: what if there was a circus of strange and/or magical children, but in reality it was a prison?
The Shining Stars Circus is full of Miracles: children with unusual talents or abilities. People from all over the world come to see them, and they are admired. The Miracles always look clean and happy, but that's really just a front. They are mistreated and beaten, and locked away when they aren't performing. Everyone wants to escape: except they are too scared to, because of the Ringmaster.

Name: Elliot Fletcher (Eli)
Alias: Phoenix
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: He has wavy, black hair that is never tamed and is cut off beneath his ears. His skin is a lighter olive color that makes it nearly impossible to guess his ethnicity. His eyes are a pale green color that have a golden ring around the pupils, and he has a lazy eye (his left one). While he doesn't nessisarily have a muscular build, his arms are rather buff and he has great upper body strength. He is 5'6". He prefers to wear tank tops when he performs so there isn't loose fabric that could catch fire. He also wears black pants and black ankle boots, with a matching black jacket.
Personality: He is extremely loyal to his friends to a gracious extent. He would be willing to break rules and rebel only if someone else is as well, and prefers to stay away from the leadership role. He is generally a very peppy person and loves joking around. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't sleep well at night so he has a tendency to take random naps and get tired quickly.
Weakness: The general fear of his fire getting out of his control, damp rooms or areas with high humidity
Power(s): Polyglot (can learn languages very quickly) and Pyrokinesis
Other: Biromantic (leans towards guys) and asexual
Oh shoot I forgot to add that he wears glasses that sort of fix his lazy eye
(could I have a sibling pair. Older brother and little sister. the little sister would be the older brothers weaknesses. I can work without her though)
(Sure! You can have more than one character.)
