-WARNING-
The description for this is the exact one from when I uploaded this on Facebook. I didn't feel like shortening it, since it's information that's more or less needed for the Feracik story. That doesn't mean you have to read it, because it just describes the outfit, overall, its origins, and a bit about The Caravan travelling circus. :D


This is the result of a chart, my friends. A chart that assigned a different working (or not :P) class to each card in a deck of fifty-two, which can be found here. Well, the two of diamonds was the thief, and, well, what do you expect? C: I thought this would be an interesting outfit for a kind of alternate universe of Feracik. Wouldn't that be fun, sir? >: Also, I'm thinking of having this be his performance outfit, so he goes along with the other performers. Yes, he lives with a traveling circus. Who wouldn't love that? Anyway, I've just had this kind of impression of the cirucus and I don't know how to get it across. The performers would all be wearing costumes, each one reminesce of a playing card, even the two Jokers. So, I'm going to say that there's somewhere over 52 people apart of this circus. Fifty two perform, and each wear a costume, which was chosen when they joined by taking a random card from the deck (and men hoped they didn't get the queens). Perhaps on other days the performers take on the job of vendors, and are always working, but not always recognized, while other simply roam about in more casual wear. Of course, he wouldn't carry the sword, and I'm not sure if he'd have spiked belts. The new outfit sketch is what he casually wears around the circus when it's not his day to perform. Though sometimes he wears it anyway, especially on days when he goes straight through the night, working on something, and doesn't change out of it or wash the paint off. Make sense, sit? Good, sir. But he's not the only one that sometimes goes without changing, so sometimes it's easier to find the people who you watched perform the day before. The only other time he wears this is if he's been told to roam around and perform. You see, the circus stays for four days whenever it stops. The first day they set up tents and run over everything, making it ship-shape. Day two is the main performances throughout the day. This is the night Lucifer does the tightwire. C: So it makes sense he can go the rest of the night and forget to change, especially when he's used to wearing this. Days three and four, there are several smaller acts, and the vendors are out and about. Performers who only usually do one big performance on the second night can choose to have the day off (if they aren't also a vendor), or roam about doing smaller tricks. Lucifer juggles. Sometimes for people on the last two days, and sometimes he just does, and ends up with a small crowd. Also, keep in mind that there aren't soley 52 people who alternately run the circus, perform, and sell their wares. There are /only/ 52 people performing, but there are families and others who are part of the circus who cook and care for the others, sell their wares, and are in charge of other tasks about the tents. This is serious business we do. >:
Anyway, his hand is glowy, because he has magic in this alternate universe. Magic, ooh. The color scheme consists of black, white, greys, red, and navy blue. :P Those are rings in his right hand, yes, he has a katana, a Japanese sword in an alternate universe, his belts are spiked, the diamonds are painted on his face, and he is barefoot.... sort of. I've seen those kind of pants before, but they're freakishly hard to draw. They loop around the arch of your foot, leaving the heel and most of the front of your foot exposed. He needed bare feet, and... I, can't draw shoes. >X He has three shirts on, too. Goodness it must get hot. D: He also has wristbands on each wrist, though you can't really tell on his left arm. Around his upper arm, you see the black stripe on each arm? That's not shirt. They're supposed to be belts cinched around his arms for no particular reason, other than it looks cool.
Don't mess with him, sir. >:

Ah, sort of. ^^; I have several charts, so to a certain degree I can write someone's name in either hiragana or katakana. If the spelling on the name is particularly unusual, I have a translator online, but sometimes even that doesn't provide much help. I cannot fluently read of write Japanese, however much I wish I could. It'd be a wonderful experience to be able to learn. ^_^

The alphabets arent that hard and its a good hobby. The language is sort of tough though. Depending on which region of japan your in hashi can mean chopsticks or it can mean suspension bridge or cliff!
