ONEW: the ringmaster
aka. Lee Jinki
One hundred and three years ago, the circus Onew was born into was almost destroyed. Due to the yellow fever ravaging the village, the circus' crew got sick. They died while the others especially the elemental benders and magicians were captured and burn at the stake by the villagers due to the villagers' fear for their unnatural talents.
It lasted long and when Onew reached the age of nineteen, his father was eventually captured and suffered the same fate like the others because he killed a villager for the circus' contortionist. Onew was given the title of ringmaster by the three remaining crew of the circus that included his mother. Unfortunately, the three others died soon after. The bear keeper died when his own charge killed him while the remaining two that included the girl his father saved and his own mother succumbed to the disease.
Onew became alone and barely capable in the taking care of the circus with his weak magic. He mourned and with him was the circus. The tent was alive, breathing like a human and feel. He was connected to it and they survived through the tragedy and travelled far and wide. It took him 50 years until he was able to find 10 new members of his family and revive the circus.
The circus was in the verge of destruction again before he met Hangeng.
After their fateful meeting, the circus bloomed with it's new members.
