Some cartoon clowns + @hobbittastic's oc Zone Cirque Royale style

What they'd be doing in CR-verse or whatever under cut:

Jojo: A sweet young adult who works at Craftacular arts and craft store.

Krusty: a former circus producer. He...cut a LOT of corners to save a few bucks. People may have died...

Dr. Rockzo: a washed-up former rock star, who now does weddings and birthday parties.

The Rainbow twins: Hybrid clown/mime twin actors. They're most known for their performance in a kids show as a recurring were-mime villain. This character is greatly disliked by both mimes and clowns. :D

Zone: Owner and mascot of Zone Skating!
