Bio[]
Backstory: Richard Bell was the oldest of the family, his younger brother was Mateo, and his youngest sister was May Bell. He was praised for his intelligence in woodwork, and puppeteer as his parents worked in a circus. Richard help makes small puppets for his mother, and make small props for his father, as he was a magician.
The circus his family was part of was called the Autumn and Frost Circus. The circus was very successful in Scotland and other parts of England. Richard soon met a woman who was the new member of the circus, she was rumored to be a sorceress of the underworld, and contain darkness as her main power source. Because she was different, she was treated badly, and only Richard showed her kindness. In return, she gave him a ruby ring, which he wore on his left thumb. One day, the Autumn and Frost Circus was attacked by a gang that wanted to cause trouble nearby.
The gang murdered nearly everyone in the circus, including his parents, the sorceress, and his younger brother Mateo. Richard was left with his younger sister, May, and another woman who was a firebreather. He grew emotionless, as he believed his happiness was stolen from him.
May, Richard, and the firebreather tried to get aid from the government, however, the government denied their cry for help. The government was corrupt at the time, and it made Richard have a deep hatred for them. As he got older, he found the true powers of the enchanted ring he was given.
He was able to control any species that had blood, with the ring, and used them as his puppets. His ring was made of a special ruby. Richard was able to find out, that the sorceress knew he wanted to become a successful puppeteer like his mother, so she used a ruby that can control blood and help transform anything into a puppet, to help him become successful.

Accidentally, he used it on the firebreather whose name was Emily, and the ring helped him create Emily as his human puppet. Emily tried to fight off the transformation, however, he was successfully able to turn her as a puppet. Richard and Emily soon created another circus, called the Bloodmoon Circus, and the circus isn’t the average child-friendly circus.
He wanted to recruit members who would also do dirty work on the side. He was able to, and one by one, he began to plan his attack for Scotland. He first recruited Amelie Leonhart aka Strings, to be one of his human puppets for his show. Together, they performed in front of hundreds of customers, and soon after they began to date. Amelie loved him, and they were about to get married however because she was a human puppet, he let her go.
Any customer from the circus that was caught lingering was brought in Richard’s office, and with his ring, he would create human puppets. He wanted to use human puppets, to create a small army to overthrow the government for revenge.
Years went by, and when he was finally able to start his attack. However, karma got to him. He died after the ring backstabbed him.
The sorceress cursed the ring, meaning that anytime he used the ring, the ring would steal a part of his blood to continue working. She created it like that, to ensure he would use it for good, and not for evil.
Therefore, he died from the lack of healthy blood cells, and now the Bloodmoon Circus is trying to fulfill his legacy. His human puppets can still be used, and it is stated his spirit is lingering in the Bloodmoon Circus.
His Puppets[]
His first main puppet was Emily Miracle an English woman who was the firebreather in the Autumn and Frost circus. Emily was known as "Hestia" since she was known for her prowess in the fire. In the circus, she was the only firebreather and helped with Richard's mother performing her acts. She was in her mid 20's when Richard used his ring. By accident, Richard had found the usage of his ring and she had tried to fight off the transformation when the ring began to form a blood string from her body to the ring's ruby stone. After the work was done, she hardly had a conscious of her actions, since her mind was warped to follow the Puppet Master's order.
His second main puppet was Amelie Leonhart an English woman known as "Strings". She had joined the circus desperate for more fame since she was the mediocre puppeteer. Richard allowed her to join the circus, and soon he mentors Amelie. Later on, they became a couple, and in greed, Richard used his ring on her to transform her into a puppet. He wanted to have another puppet, he was able to puppeteer. He also wanted her to live forever. Amelie was saddened by the act and became his puppet for the circus. She would perform operatic acts and was a dancer for the shows. She did it for 15 years until he soon reversed the curse and let her go to live as a normal human again. Afterward, she left the circus for her health.
His third main puppet and the final human puppet was Alexei Voronin a Russian man who was caught as a wandering person when the circus performance was done. He was a failed clown who wanted to talk to Richard so he can work with the circus. Richard allowed him to enter the circus, and Alexei adopted the name, "Jester". He would work with Balloons the clown, and make fun of Richard since he was the jester. However, Richard grew tired of this and transformed him as his third puppet. Under the influence of Richard, he was soon changed to become the knife thrower of the circus, and at times he would joke with the audience to make them become his helpers and throw his swords and daggers at the audience's body to kill them. He did it for shock value.
