Category description:
Theo can find deepest and darkest memories and bring them forwards into a person's mind. He also has a crystal ball that he uses to portray these memories in person. However, with this crystal ball, he can also show someone's future, distant or far. However, as well as this (And something that most people are a part of his act) He has a knowledge to die for. He could be compared to someone like Sherlock Holmes. Watching just the simplest of movements, and looking at someone's outfit, he can tell what they've just been doing and find out a lot about them. People often dislike him for this, feeling like he's invading their privacy...
Carnival costume:
Crushes:
He can't help himself. He must have a thing for the bad boy type, or maybe he's overwhelmed by the complexity of his mind, but the ringmaster always seemed appealing to him, though he never really expected much to happen between them. He wasn't so good in the lovey dovey area, and Alexander was having sex with more or less all the erotic dancers...
Enemies:
He's not too keen on Alaska. Most others love her, but she seems a little bit... obvious to him.
Friends:
"Do I look like the type to have many friends?" He has the odd occasional person he talks to, but no one he'd really class as a 'friend'.
Powers/Abilities:
Apart from the abilities and the connection he has with the crystal ball, and retrieving memories, he can also retract them. People have often gone to him when they want to forget something, and he deals with it. However, all these memories he takes away gets stored within his brain. Yes, now he has a lot of information in his noggin, but is sworn to secrecy, not telling a soul about these memories. He can also search into the mind of others and look for memories and feelings himself, without removing them or bringing them forwards. As long as people will allow him, he'd be able to tell many things about them. However, things are starting to get... bad. You know how when a hard drive runs low on memory? Well...

Your trailer:
Theo doesn't actually mind his trailer. All he really wants to store in there is some books and some private possessions, and having somewhere to sleep. That's all he had in there, it's all he needs.
Personality:
As mentioned previously, Theo is easily seen as a modern 'sherlock'. He loves to find out things about people and finds excitement out of a little scandal here and there. Being at this carnival has definitely brought that to him. Even in Theo's past, he's been one to not make that many friends. He's seen as rather strange, the way how he could tell what you'd eaten in the morning and whether you're comfortable in the clothes your in, who your family are and why you're coming towards him. It's easy to say, that's not normal. As much as Theo is smart, he's definitely not arrogant, though he can come off as a little bit rude at times when he doesn't show kindness the way others might. Theo isn't very strong in the agility and fitness department however. Whilst thinking and solving puzzles, he's munching on something unhealthy, like sweets or such. Theo definitely has a sweet tooth. He loves candies, cakes, pastries and anything like that. It's a surprise he's not fat. But this isn't his only fitness downfall, being at the carnival for 83 years has left him with plenty of memories from others in his head, and sometimes he'll just get a terrible headache in which he'll just have to stop whatever he's doing, close his eyes and block out his environment. It's gotten to the point where he's been doing it for too long, and he still doesn't know how to dispose of memories in his head, and he's just seeming to receive more and more every day. As much as Theo seems like a harsh man however, he can be very considerate of others. Those who do show kindness to him and don't just leave him to be weird by himself, he'll fight for and protect. He shows his affection in very subtle little ways. Often in the past, he's shown how he's liked someone, and they've just kind of left him alone anyway, thinking he wasn't interested.
History:
The year was 1910, life was very simple and war was only a few years away. Yes, Theo was born into the life of a British evacuee. When he was only 4 years of age, he was sent off to live in Georgia, America. He found he spent most of his childhood there, becoming more aquatinted to the people who took him in, rather than his actual parents. However, Theo grew up always taking in every little thing around him. It was obvious to most that Theo was... different. He was much smarter than most other kids, and naturally at that. He kept on saying whereabouts a bomb would be placed next, "thinking tactically of course" and more or less every time, he was right. By the time WWI was over, Theo was eight years old, and returning to his parents, it was like returning to strangers. He never really got along with his parents. Never got along with anyone really. He went off into his own world, solving his own little puzzles and such. By the time Theo reached about age 20, he discovered the carnival, and was a little more than suspicious. He watched the show, and then left. He bumped into one of the people that worked for the carnival and after they had said a few mere words, Theo had spilled out with, "You're kept here by force, whilst some of you enjoy your lives here, the majority envy the audience who go home. Nobody knows about your pain, no one else can see it, and there's nothing you can do about it. Policemen don't have a clue, and how would you get to them anyway? You're trapped her for an eternity."
As soon as his statement was over, he was told to go to the tunnel of dreams to try it out. He went through, half-heartedly, but came out the other side, unsure himself of what his dream was. However, by the next day, he met a man. This man asked if he was Theodore Wilkonshire, and he corrected. However, Theodore looked at his cane, his positive light smile and took note of this calm attitude. This man knew of him, and yet was standing her, talking to him. He realized after talking to him what his dream was. To have a companion. A friend. That year went past marvelously. He had a year with a friend, and that was all he needed to keep him happy. Theodore, like the others, awoke at the carnival and after some amnesia remembered everything. Theodore developed his newly found powers and become a fortune teller, based on memories and such. Life had gone as usual, with a lack of friends, but he didn't seem to mind. He managed to work through the puzzles of memories and why everything happened, and that's just kept him who he is. He loves a good puzzle, and he loves a good sweet. Two things he's discovered as he's gone along.
Other:
Theo is a homosexual, and has a fear of being buried alive, and needles. He, however, also plays classical guitar.
