The Society of the Yet to Come

This rpg is very different from the norm. I hope you all like it.
----
In Victorian age London (Around 1850) the industrial revolution was in full sway. Life was difficult for the poor but it was far worse for the orphaned and unforcinate. The orphanges were so full they had to turn children away. No one seemed to care that thier streets were littered with children barely old enough to speak that were starving to death. No one wanted to think about it, so they didn't. The world was a dark place.
But someone decided to do something about it. A mysterious woman known only as Bliss created the Society of the Yet to Come (Or the Society for short). To most people it was a normal Carnival, but to those on the inside it was so much more.
She searched out the orphaned and forgotten around the city and brought them to be the Society. She gave them a place to stay and a way to earn money working as Carnies. But more than that she taught them to be Imaginas. Those who use thier imaginations to make things happen.
Imaginas only use thier gifts to heal, help and defend. Anything past that is Nightmarcasting and Destiny doesn't allow that in her Soceity.

As a player you would be one of the orphans. ages can range from infant to 19 with the regular orphans (I'll get into the special roles in a second)
With this rpg we want to encourage a tight knit group not just a bunch of players all over the place. So it mostly takes place in the Carnival, so that all the players can be together.

what you need:

Name
Age
Gender
Personallity
History: (Be as indepth as possible)
Job: (What they do in the carnival)
Appearence:

Special roles:
There are the five oldest orphans, they were the first members of the Society and are the closest to Bliss.
I will be playing one but that leaves four open slots for anyone who wants to. These characters get to be older since they were around from the begining. Aka 16-27 in age.
Also I have one more special role but it's secret so if any one has an inclination towars villiany (:evil:) please Pm me.

Ok Kiba is Co-Gm, and playing Bliss.
I hope you guys join!

Can I be one of the 5 too? If there are any places left yet?

Age: 17

Personallity: patient, kind, encourages people a lot

History: When Lily was only a 3 years old, she was left in the care of her aunt and uncle because her mother had died, and her father didn't want to have to take care of her. But because she cried a lot, one day when her uncle had been drunk threw her out, but luckily she held on to blanket, which had liles stitched on. (Where she got her name) Luckily, it was only after about two days, Bliss found her by the side of the street wrapped in the blanket and took her in. After a few years of living with Bliss, Lily totally forgot about her life before and only remembers living with Bliss and the other children at the "Cranival" Maybe because Lily hasn't really faced trama that affected her dramatically, she is able to keep calmer better than most, and is less prone to be aggressive.

I like, one problem though Jaden. This rpg is designed to keep everyone (but the villians) in the same spot. So he either needs to be part of the carnival or join it quickly in the story. Otherwise accepted

by SnoringFrog
I'll give this a shot. Hopefully I'll remember to keep up with it.

Name: Rhen
Age: 15
Gender: male
Personallity: Kinda back and forth between outspoken and taciturn. He tends to remain quiet, but as when he does talk, sometimes it's difficult to get him to stop. He's very loyal to his friends, but he considers very few people to be his friends and instead labels most as aquantences that he's willing to manipulate to get what he wants, most of the time with little regard to what his manipulation may cost others.
History: Rhen's parents were murdered by a theif when he was about 8. He lived on his own in the streets for 3 years before finding the Society. This made him a hard person for the most part, and it took him a while to adjust to beign around friendly people and not having to worry about everyone turning on him as soon as his back was turned. This tendency to be so suspicious of everyone still sometimes causes him problems in connecting with others.
Job: For the most part he does a few odd jobs, clean-up, and carries things that need to be moved, but he's praticing to be a magician.
Appearence: Black hair, blue eyes, average height and of a thin build.
