I have been trying so hard to finish this and now I finally have! This Is the Lineup for the first major Series that I had been working on: Mr. Umbra's Freakshow and Bizarreties! The story follows our main character Erika as she ran away from home and joins a traveling freak show and helps them capture bizarre monsters and attractions for the freak show. But the ringleader, Mr. Umbra, is also pursuing another mystery: who is the mysterious man behind his and Cadie's existence and why is he so abnormally difficult to find? He's just a normal person, right?
Our good guys, from left to right:

Erika Lincoln:
Erika is an African-American (Ghanaian and Haitian) kid who was born into a poor family. Sweet, but tough when she needs to be, Erika is more capable of taking the constant barrage of bizarreness than your average person. When she decides to run away from home to save her parents and sister the struggle, she stumbles upon the Freak show and decides to work for them to have a place to live.

Mr. Umbra:
Mr. Umbra is an English dress form with a Cajun accent who was brought to life by magical means. Almost always bombastic around strangers, but calms down a bit when surrounded by close friends. He moved from his birthplace of England to Louisiana back in 1703. In 1708, after he learned to talk, he took in his first freak Lil' Creep and after that decided to found a freakshow and take in the truly bizarre societal rejects and give them a safe home. He started collecting "Bizarreties" almost as soon as he started the freakshow, but didn't change the name until the year 1800. Mr. Umbra, despite not being able to eat, loves to cook and cooks constantly for his freaks. He looks over all of his freaks like his own children.

Cadie:
Cadie is a 1920’s flapper girl who was brought back to life through magical means. She is a sensible person who unreasonably likes telling stories to freak out those who are willing to listen. Once she was brought back to life, she had stumbled across the Freak show and had her fortune told by Madame Futori that she was going to join the Freak show. Besides her rather mischievous nature, she is rather supportive and enjoys helping Mr. Umbra wherever and whenever she can, earning her the number 2 spot when he's out on the field.

Angela:
Angela is a princess of a kingdom of winged humans in another dimension. She’s a polite, but airheaded person who judges people based on how good they look due to fairy world standards. When she was a child, she had been swept away from her kingdom by a fierce wind and thrown down to the Earth, where she was found and taken care of by Mr. Umbra. She feels quite lost in our world and feels aimless in her life's pursuits. That is, until she meets a special someone...

Brock:
Brock is a man with nigh infinite electrical charge. He’s the kind of person who just kind of mopes around and hardly talks to anyone. He had lived most of his life in the underground city being the source of power for them as well as a source of food until the Freak show found him and convinced him to join them. After proving the town he was powering was empty, of course. After that, Brock feels a lack of motivation to do much of anything, since he feels like it may turn out to be a worthless endeavor. However, he ends up finding someone who gives him the motivation to keep moving forward...

Lil' Creep:
Lil’ Creep is a cyclops and is one of Mr. Umbra’s oldest attractions. He is a mute eyeball that can only communicate by nodding and typing on a typewriter. He’s head honcho of the Mansion while Mr. Umbra’s gone and takes care of the more feral attractions.

Beed:
Beed is a kid who, under no known circumstances, had gravity reversed on him. Beed is a big complainer, but is not generally unhappy. Beed was saved from flying into the sky by Mr. Umbra and the Freak show and is kept in Mr. Umbra’s mansion in fear that bringing him along might accidently send him falling to his doom in the sky. He resides in the Mansion with Lil’ Creep, whom he confides in and has more respect for than Mr. Umbra.

Reena:
Reena is a young Reptilian girl who was shanghaied when she tried to replace Erika. Being a Reptilian, she has the power to shapeshift into anyone. Reena is feisty and hotheaded and has a fierce hatred for the cold. She was shanghaied into the show when she had tried to replace Erika so the Reptilians could kill and eat the real Erika. But she was suspected by Mr. Umbra to be a fake and she was revealed by him throwing ice water on her, which sends Reptilians into a mild shock that removes their disguises. She always wears an extra-large Mr. Umbra's Freak show and Bizarreties t-shirt because her original Reptilian robes were destroyed
