-=~~=-Casa Harmon
Description
Casa Harmon is a vibrant and exotic family hailing from Daendroc and various other continents. Casa Harmon is involved in the entertainment business, with influences of indulgence and debauchery. The Harmon own a circus and various other establishments scattered around, such as bath houses, taverns and brothels.
While coming from gypsy-like backgrounds, the Harmon are building strong financial footings within the city from less humble means and from a stable income from various establishments dotted around.
History
Casa Harmon's ancestry dates back to a deckhand named Jeronimo and his voyages.
The journey started off just like any other voyage. The crew set sail, bringing merchandise, goods and exotic items to faraway lands. The ship rocked and churned with the tide, the current overpowering the small vessel in the vast ocean. The journey felt like a lifetime, scruffy beards to mark the testament. Upon arrival in a small port in Ithania, the crew went to the local tavern in celebration, their shanties and loud cheers echoed deep into the night. Jeronimo was an exception to this. He kept to himself, instead indulging himself in the rich nightlife the colourful city boasted. Jeronimo became absorbed in a certain street performer, who danced and danced, crowds gathering by the second. As the crowds dissipated, Jeronimo remained, waiting for his future wife. The two got along and danced into the night. Jeronimo was to marry her next fall.
Throughout the course of his second excursion to the Yang Tzu isles soon after Ithania, Jeronimo fascinated with the isles decided to lose himself in the culture, often finding himself gambling with a group of fishermen in their downtime suddenly found a knack in the act. His hands always trumping the locals, taking their loot and wares as a prize. Little did they know, Jeronimo had picked up sleight of hand in his expeditions. Apart from fixed gambling, Jeronimo left roots in the Yang Tzu. Children. Children who would today come back as an everlasting testament to Jeronimo's affair.
After long months of longing, fall came and Jeronimo married Chantelle. The two began peddling goods around the continent of Daendroc after their engagement, picking up companions along their way. Their newly found friends often had new tricks and talents to share. The group eventually mastered these knacks and would occasionally perform 'party tricks' at local watering holes and town centres. After caravaning goods and entertainment around Daendroc, their talents turned into shows. Talents grew from card tricks, juggling and comedy to more exhilarating. The group performed acrobatics, contortion and many other feats. As the word spread, so did their group. They eventually formed a circus of sorts, performing much larger performances and doing bigger shows for the masses. They grew fast.
As the first generation passed, inbreeding and outbreeding occurred, resulting in mostly blonde offspring. Like most, fathers taught their sons their acts. Acrobats would teach their sons and so on. The circus traversed Aloria, expanding their roots and picking up further talents, such as fire breathing which many learned from Chi'en-Ji and horse taming from lone Avanthar. The second generation was led by a curious man named Enrique. Enrique and his clique of curiosities led the great pilgrimage to New Ceardia, chanting word of his fabulous circus and its performers. Enrique led expeditions far and wide, performing wherever and whenever he could, for coin and for the pure ecstasy. Many children to follow would often bear ginger hair.
The current generation of misfits has roots all over Aloria, predominantly in Regalia and Daenshore. Many migrate back and forwards between falls. Shows are becoming less and less as Casa Harmon spreads, though the current patriarch, Gabriel Harmon seeks to change this and put on shows across Regalia and back home in Daenshore. Casa Harmon is actively spreading their name throughout Regalia, opening debauchery themed establishments across the lands, and making deals with noble families and commoners alike to perform at weddings, festivals and various events dotted around the archipelago. Though, as the shows are becoming more sparse, members are turning to a shady means of earning extra coin.
Traits
Male
Male Harmon typically sport a athletic build due to their extensive roles in the circus. Men typically act as strongmen, acrobats, musicians, tamers or work behind the scenes, heaving monstrous pulleys for curtains and such. Their hair is generally blonde, though red or brown aren't unheard of, and their eye colours are strictly green or brown. Men tend to have angular and sharp jawlines, occasionally refined further with trimmed beards, goatees and other facial hair to tend to the 'manly' look many aspire for.
Female
Females, like their counterpart, tend to boast an athletic build from their active roles. While not as physically strong, women are trained more so in dancing and exotic roles aimed at seducing spectators for their coin. Acrobatics is often common in females, as well as beast taming. Women are almost identical to the men. They sport blonde, red or brown hair, coupled with green or brown hair. Women typically have softer features than the men, with smoother jaws and chins, often with freckles dotted upon their tan skin.
