[[ UPDATED 25/07/17 : New digital ref ]]

[[ UPDATED 27/09/15 : New bio format ]]

Name: Rabbit
Known As: The Gentleman Magician
Affiliation: Freak-Show

Appearance:
Tall, dark and handsome, Rabbit is around 2.00m and dressed in an elegant tuxedo with a black jacket with gray lining and white pants. He also has a black bow-tie at the base of his pulled up collar, that reaches up to his jaw to cover his bony neck.
His head looks like a human skull with no lower jaw, and only two, long, pointy front teeth, coated in silver, and the upper half of his face is covered with a silver mask decorated with black lines, and rabbit ears extending out of its edges. Behind it, his eyes gain a slight shade of red. He also wears a black top hat with a withered white strip, and a tear at the front.
Rabbit's hands only have 3 digits each and so do his feet, that poke out like talons out of what seems to have been an elegant pair of elegant, black shoes.
While his build allows him sleek and agile movements, he's pretty fragile, and relies on dodging and entrapping his foes in mind-bending illusions to survive a battle.

Personality:
Rabbit is rather quiet and aloof, considered some sort of a parental figure in the group (the “responsible adult”). He is very introverted most of the time and doesn't speak up unless needed as a mediator, but tends to sound a little condescending when he does.
He cares deeply for Masquerade and will flare up, entirely against his character, if something threatens her. When engaged in battle, Rabbit's introvert nature is gone and he turns rather extravagant in the heat of battle, sometimes a little lost in the passion of his “performance”. This turns into a great weakness as he might lose sight of his physical limitations.

Abilities:
Talented Trickster- Being a magician, Rabbit has both an arsenal of seemingly-harmless magic tricks put into combative use, and is able to create short-term illusions to dazzle and confuse his opponent.

Weaknesses:
Fragile Form- Rabbit's slender figure, while allowing greater agility, leaves him with little endurance, a dangerous feat when drowned and the ecstasy of battle.

General Info:
A gentleman of a magician, master of trickery. Able to generate illusions to trap a victim in for a short amount of time, he makes incredible use of this window of opportunity to immobilize and strike his opponent.
He is the right-hand man and personal guard and escort to Masquerade, using a variety of of seemingly common magic tricks in combat, as well as a cane that doubles as both a wand and a weapon.
He is respected by the rest of the Freak-Show and thus has little problem and a neutral relations with them, which makes him an ideal mediator, as no one could say he favors one member over the other.

Relationships:

Rabbit has a deep connection with Masquerade, and they can be often seen side-by-side. The nature of their relationship is unclear to the rest of the Show's members, if there's anything between them beyond him being her personal bodyguard.

Rabbit often keeps a close eye on HellFire, not trusting someone with a nature so destructive, and the fact that he resembles a Guard member so much put him on edge even more.

Extra Info:

While you probably can't hold much inside a torn hat, Rabbit has a rather impressive arsenal of tricks to use in combat:

Black roses / Storm of black petals

A deck of blank cards that reveal their content when dirtied (by, for example, blood)

Small throwing knives

A rope made of black and white pieces of cloth tied together (can be used as a whip or to strangle an opponent)

Smoke bombs

Small fireworks (mostly for show)

[Crimson Circus] The Freak-ShowThe Freak-Show
The dastardly, devious rebel group that every authority is bound to encounter at some point,
Hiding away from the fearsome members of the Circus' Guard and the terror-striking Undertaker and his army of Jackals, the members of the Show are corrupted yet sentient souls that survived long enough to evolve into unique beings with powers and abilities of their own.
Their origins are unclear – whether they were humans or other, lesser known beings before arriving at the Circus.
They are all unique in the fact that they haven't degraded into a senseless monster, as those who roam some parts of the Circus. This was most likely made possible through the same force that helped the Ringleader manifest the Circus and a body of his own. However, members of the Show lacked the skill and dexterity the Toy Maker has that are needed in order to create a solid and stable physical manifestation.
Due to that missing component, Freak-Show members often appear deformed in some w
