General
Faction Name: The Yes You Can Carnival
Summary: A travelling carnival that offers a home and maybe even a family to the misfits of the supernatural world.
Description: The Yes You Can Carnival is a small travelling setup of a few large rides and a big top, moving from location to location and usually playing for about 3 months. They tend to play small towns, without big media attention. Their patrons are mostly normal humans with no idea that the supernatural world exists, but those from the supernatural world may have heard of the carnival's... unusual... nature and tend to mingle in the crowds more than a regular carnival.
The carnival was founded by the vampire Edward Langport AKA Carnifex, who came to be known as Carnie as a result. A regular carnival circuit attracts the strange and the restless of humanity, and Carnie's vision was to do the same for those supernaturals who struggle to successfully blend in with humankind, or who are outcast or ill-fitting even among their own kind. The carnival family is tight-knit; unlike most carnivals they do not hire temporary workers or team up with privately owned rides, and are generally suspicious of "outsiders" and difficult to negotiate with.
Open for other members to join, Y/N?: Yep!
Optional Info
Typical Members: Unusual supernaturals, humans irrevocably touched by the supernatural, people or creatures with social problems or a powerful wanderlust. Many of the members seem a little "off" even in human guise.
Rough number of members: 100 ish
Allies, enemies: The carnival is small enough to have not attracted the attentions of any major entities or groups, and they tend to keep to themselves.
