Born and raised, Tomoki is a person. He has lived all of his life up until now and is currently looking forward to what is happening. All said and done, he has enjoyed being a part of things and plans to continue. If you'd like to keep up with where Tomoki is headed next, you can hit him with a tranquilizer, place a tracking device on him, and hope that he doesn't notice (or care) when he wakes up. Otherwise, you can probably find him on socials but tbh he doesn't post very often so the tracking device is probably a better bet.

Chen Pollina is a human—comprised mostly of water, proteins, fats, minerals, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and existential dread. By day (some days… and in this context specifically) he is Chenovski Karamazov! Juggler and actor mediocaire! By night, a dreamer of dreams. Shock comes-oh, oh! Laughing words -ha, ha! Whenever forth to come hither, when I can see the wind I shall too ride upon the stallion!

Or something. 

Zukov Karamozov (secretly known as Jeremiah Meyer) is a long time member of the circus. So long that he's been hearing the Karamazov Brothers jokes since the womb. While he is currently pursuing a history degree (His Russian name comes from a soviet general during WW2), vaudeville performance has been a long time passion. Growing up a juggler, musician, and acrobat he is a recent addition and youth diversity hire for the Karamazov troupe. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, his skills were honed on the streets, busking anywhere and everywhere he could in the duo known as Strangely~Jeremiah.
