[THEODORE AVERY CORNELL]

THEODORE avery CORNELL

Hello, this is my oh so lovely Theodore Cornell. He is twenty-six years old, and in charge of lighting at this wonder of worlds, circus. Although his job isn't particularly circus-y, he does know a couple things about the world around him. No, not about the actual preforming but about how to get the "real" show running. He understands that the trick itself isn't always that amazing, but with the right make-up and the right personality and the right (drumroll?) lighting, it can cause the audience to scream and clap and stand out their seats with amazement.

Although Theodore understands his job, he doesn't always understand the people around him. He can be a little lost in the jumbled mess of much bigger personalities and much shinier faces. After all, the things he's good at hardly look like talents next to these circus freaks. Next to them, a computer geek isn't very impressive. And that's what Theodore is (always was), a computer geek with a background in theater and a gymnast mother. Makes perfect sense now? Probably not, there's a lot more to him than that. But he is very good at what he does, and he loves doing it. He believes in all that nonsense, you know, doing what you love.

But in all honesty, he's a lot nicer to his profession than he is to actual people. He's not that good at making friends which probably results in his lack of them. Of course he has a couple of good friends, but he isn't Mr. Popular. He can be helpful and witty and nice, but he's also honest when he doesn't like you, and if you hog the spotlight or if you're just a little too optimistic or if you've got a loud voice, he won't like you.

I wouldn't say he makes a lot of enemies, because he doesn't use a lot of his energy towards hating people. Usually after he tells someone that he just doesn't like them, he'll steer clear of them. He doesn't really want to cause trouble, he just wants everyone to be on the same page. He doesn't make enemies, but occasionally they just happen.

[also romance, not sure about what way he swings yet. so for right now let's go with both. anyone interested in flings or dates or crushes it's cool, nothing serious though. ]

[JOHNNY CHRISTOPHER LAMARC]

theodore & johnny
johnny here is also employed as a worker. =P he's with the band, and loves every minute he can spend strumming away on his guitar. i'm not entirely sure how theodore would feel about him, seeing as he can be a little bit cocky and enjoys conversation to an extreme degree, ahaha. this isn't to say he's not nice, however, because johnny's always finding ways to put smiles on others' faces. and any degree of cockiness is rarely purposeful on his part. if theodore isn't fond of him, it might take a couple of encounters before johnny really realizes it and decides he'd better steer clear. xD sometimes, he forgets to pick up on social cues and just keeps on blathering away without thinking..

theodore & olive
olive is the ringmaster of the circus, and as i've said to just about every other character on here, she often takes on a 'mother figure' role for most. xD always hearing people out and bestowing advice on every little lost soul who wants to hear it. in general, olive's pretty eccentric. she has odd fashion choices and considers herself a good ten years younger than she actually is (38). i'm not sure how theodore would view her, but she'd be there if he ever needed anything ^^.

theodore & lacie
lacie the burlesque dancer is a thoroughly artistic sort who's personality basically flits between 'outgoing' and 'reserved' on a constant basis. she's all for a good conversation, but prefers an equal dosage of alone time too. i can see her immediately admiring theodore for the work he does, because she knows how integral it is to her work with the dancers. all in all, lacie would be nothing but kind to him and she'd want to be friends for sure. not to mention she'd just adore his geekiness x3.


hope these are ok! =P

[NIKOLAI DIMA STATNIK]

THEO && KOLAI
(aka jamocha latte and the russian circus bear)
we already discussed this, i'm just posting here so it seems legit. so yeah, Kolai is a drinking, gambling, hardly english speaking mess, who of course made friends with his jamocha baby bear, and is now on a roller coaster of learning and discovery that only goes up, my friend. yeah, that happened.

[STELLA RAYE GIORDANO]

Stella && Theo
I'm thinking enemies. Theo said something stupid to the dancer and so Stella got upset and holds grudges. Now they glare at eachother and all that nonsense. Stella thinking that Theo is out to get her and ruin her lighting for a show maybe?
Add, Subtract, Delete?

[MOLLY 'DOLLY' MALONE]

Molly && Theo;

Molly smells a adopted little brother when she sees Theo. And maybe alittle over protectiveness about her since she's dancing with fire.

Ophelia && Theo;

And I sense a fling coming on! Ophelia is Olive's daughter and maybe, she could be flirting with Theo and one thing leads to another. No sleeping together at first! Just sneaking behind the tents for a hawt make out sension before getting on with their jobs. <3

[ALEX SEAN JOHNSON]

Theo and Alex
Alex can get along with just about anyone. I can see these two getting along just fine. Alex is very smart with a bit of a supressed nerdy side and just enough artist to make him very interested in Theo's job. He and Theo have similar personalities in that Alex isn't one to mince words. He would enjoy just hanging around Theo and probably catching a drink or two with him.

Theo and Analiese
I see these two being pretty good friends. Theo is quiet enough to not completely freak Analiese off from the start. She's not great with people either, and really isn't great at figuring out their complexities. The fact that Theo speaks his mind would be great for her. His calmness would keep her calm, which is always good for her. I can also see her having a bit of a crush on him because he's completely gorgeous! ^-^ Whether or not that would go anywhere is up to you, but there it is.



Let me know what you think of any of these! Can't wait to plot with you. Feel free to add or subtract anything you wish!

[THEODORE AVERY CORNELL]

Theodore && Johnny
Theodore thinks Johnny is annoying, especially because he didn't pick up on the fact that Theodore thinks Johnny is annoying. It's probably just because he's a musician and Theodore has placed musicians in the overconfident jerk category. I'm sure the two could stay out of each other's way. Although if they didn't, Theodore would be very ignorant to the fact that Johnny's actually a cool guy.

Theodore && Olive
Theodore likes Olive, he likes that she takes care of people and is open to anyone who needs to talk. Although he would never come to her if he personally needed to talk. She's like a bloody keeper of secrets! Who knows what she does with them all. Hahaha, I guess you could say he doesn't really trust anyone with that much insight.

Theodore && Lacie
Friends sounds amazing, I'm sure Theodore would take his turn in complimenting Lacie and her work as well. Maybe a little bit of flirting, since it's hard to compliment a burlesque dancer without it! Despite that, he would think of her as a good friend for reasons beyond her profession.

Theodore && Kolai
Come here, under my wing young Kolai. Hahahah, BFFs? It will be awesomeness.

Theodore && Stella
Sounds perfect! Theo is one to hold a grudge, so I'm sure he wouldn't dare to give poor Stella another chance. Although he would never actually slack off at his job, he would make sure to pay more attention to her colleagues than her when the lighting was concerned. And if she accused him of any such things, he probably wouldn't deny it, no matter the truth!

Theodore && Molly
Yes, Theodore thinks Molly is adorable in that little sister way and always wishes her good luck. Oh yeah, and he may joke about having to keep a pitcher of water close by just in case. (: He may also give boys a cold look when they try and hit on her, you know his protective instinct kicking in.

Theodore && Ophelia
YES! This sounds fantastic and Theodore would enjoy the romance. He promises not to get too attached or too emotional, but honestly he probably will. Not at first, but you know how geeky little boys can be. Plus I'm sure he would mind his boundaries, when he's not a jerk, he's quite a gentleman.

Theodore && Alex
Give me a moment to oogle over Chace Crawford. Okay, wait, now we're good. hahah, friends sounds perfect. I'm sure Theodore would enjoy Alex's company and stop by the animals to visit Kolai and him.

Theodore && Analiese
The crushing is on, Theodore's a dork/geek so I'm sure his crushing is completely adorable. He's probably the friend who tries to help her with everything. And the two probably understand each other better than anyone else because they're just so bad at interacting with the rest of the world.

[JOHNNY CHRISTOPHER LAMARC]

theodore & johnny
johnny'll just be all, "hey now, i come in peace!" but ultimately, he'll stay away if theodore isn't fond of him, ahaha.

theodore & olive
muaha, yeah she is pretty much the secret keeper! and if theordore isn't too trusting of that aspect than they'll probably just stay on good acquaintance terms =P

theodore & lacie
yaaay! lacie will lurve him for sure and will most likely flirt right back ;] good friends = win.


do you want to thread any of them? =P probably theodore/lacie seeing as its the strongest relationship x3

[THEODORE AVERY CORNELL]

Theodore && Lacie
Yes threading sounds good, could you start it please?
