The Black Circus Series is a fictional carnival imagined by me that hosts a number of exiles, freaks, and undesirables. Old Ben, the manager of this traveling circus is responsible for providing a home to this varied collection of individuals. When Old Ben dies in a mysterious accident, his estranged grandson, Benjamin Jr., is brought in to settle his affairs. There he meets the colorful group of people that accompanied Old Ben in his final hours while he tries to solve the mystery of the one who is responsible for his grandfather’s death.

Bio
Name:
Cameron Sylvian
Alias:
Cam
Age:
26
History:
Cameron Sylvian was born against all odds. The doctor told Yara Sylvian that her twins were miscarried after a fall down the stairs. As the doctor took the two fetuses out of her womb, he stumbled upon a third fetus, small as a rodent hidden between the dead fetuses. As it was still breathing, the premature fetus was able to grow into a full woman. Cameron Sylvian grew up beating the odds throughout her entire life. The thrill that accompanied it outweighed any consequence that she had or the material item she was gambling for. She took her luck to Vegas where she made millions. She was seized, beaten, and raped by gambling officials who claimed her to be cheating. Spiritually broken, she wandered around, getting kicked out of various high-risk studios and parlors until she stumbled upon Ben’s black circus where she thrived in ring tossing games, weight guessing, shooting galleries and number counting games. The carnival’s security force came by and took her to Ol’ Ben. As Ben approached her, she merely lowered her head and began to remove her clothing until Ol’ Ben stopped her. He lifted her chin and smiled. She’s been the gaming manager ever since.

While all of her victims are characterized by a lack of a hand or two, none have actually been died from the injury.

Quote Excerpt:
“Some say I was born with the luck of the Irish and kissed by fire as seen with my red hair. Others say that with what they’ve seen here, they wouldn’t deny that I actually have a lucky charm hidden up my sleeve that changes the balance of fate and chance. Doesn’t matter. While I’ve won against odds all my life. And all that means is that I’m bound to lose one day eventually, and when I finally lose, I envy the man or woman who bests me.”
