Spectators-- they come to the freakshow for pure entertainment. They are average citizens who pay a lot of money to see mental, wild, and crazy asylum patients being treated like animals in a circus-like environment. These spectators come in all forms whether they are small and curious, or large and sadistic.
♛ Ringleaders-- they call the shots. The ringleaders have total control over everything. They train the asylum patients for circus performances, they take care of the patients, punish them, treat them, feed them- and everything in between. They come up with the performances and they entertain the crowd with cards tricks and more. Who says they're completely sane? They can be mentally unstable as well (so long as its something they can hide such as psychosis, paranoia, etc).
Asylum patients: there are two types of asylum patients. The dangerous (Freaks) and the non-dangerous (Risques).
☆ Risques-- the Risques are the non-dangerous patients who usually do ual performances such as lap dancing, pole dancing, and more. They do 'circus acts' too but they tend to be reserved for the more intimate performances. These patients live and sit on display in the "Display room". They each live in their own little cage, only being let out to roam freely once the spectators leave for the day, or when they are "bought" for a few hours by the spectators. The Risque patients are categorized based off of the mental illness they suffer from. Since they are unlikely to harm the spectators, they are classified as non-dangerous [yet the still come with a risk as all mental illnesses are unpredictable].
★ Freaks-- this is the second type of asylum patient. They are classified as dangerous... if they get the chance, they will hurt a spectator, ringleader, or even enother patient. They have little to no morals and are more monster than human, too consumed by their mental illness to be classified as 'safe'. The freaks are the ones who do 'circus acts' on the main stage with the ringleaders. Things such as walking on theirs hands, flips, breathing fire, fighting, etc but they only cooperate to avoid being harmed by the ringleader. The Freaks remain locked up in the cellar, bolted shut in a cushioned room... some even require straight jackets.
EXTRA INFO ON POSITIONS (important):
Ringleaders are not strictly dominant/ submissive. They can train the mental patients through torture (electric shocks, whips, pain, etc) or rewards (treats, pleasure, etc) depending on their morals. They have pills and needles of all kinds to control the patients, and they have all of the keys to all of the cages. Ring leaders can do various things while performing with a patient, such as card tricks, illusions, and basic demonstrations of either pain or pleasure to the crowd.
Spectators are not strictly dominant/ submissive. They are rich and come to the freak show for entertainment purposes whether they're curious to see (and play) with the mental patients due to masochism, or they are eager to watch the patients suffer due to sadism. Maybe its a bit of both? Spectators can choose to become ringleaders later on, or they can "lose their mind" and become a patient at a later time.
[ this position is recommended if you can't decide what position you want to roleplay as].
Risque are not strictly dominant/ submissive. Though they focus majorly on -related acts, they can be either submissive, or they can be dominant. Whether they cower under the whip or try to steal the whip is totally dependant on their personality.
Freaks are not stictly dominant/ submissive. Even though they focus majorly on 'circus acts' (because they're classified as too dangerous for ), they still can be scheduled for if a spectator is brave enough to take them on. Freaks are not sane at all, and are extremely dangerous. Their illnesses are extreme.
What can spectators do with patients?
-- they can play dress up (whether they dress up, or the patient dresses up is totally optional), they can watch the patient perform (whether its a ual act or a circus act), they can play a game of "chase" in various rooms such as the "laser tag room" which would result in the spectators fleeing from the patients (or chasing the patients) for fun. They can take the patients into any room and do anything they want to there.
What if there is an over-powering amount of patients, and not enough spectators/ringleaders?
-- I'm not worried... I mean, does it really even matter? Even if the roleplay if just full of mental patients, then it will still be fun.
More may be added later.
