Eve joined the circus at 14 years old. she sided with the Magician, simply because, she wanted more power.

Powers: Mental manipulation.
         Rarity: Common to uncommon depending depending on weather Emotional or flat out manipulation.
         Class: Passive.
Powers. with Psychic powers there are many category's, Empathy, Telepathy, and Telekinesis. all are while Telepathy & Telekinesis are Uncommon, empathy is Common. in Xi's case however these ability's can't be classed as Superpowers as Xi is not from Earth, but a planet way out in the Milky Way, named Leeltrus. his "powers" let him manipulate minds, allowing him to influence anybody, this is why Dead-Eye, distrust his innocence. and given he has the ability to make it so your mind doesn't register him, it means while he swears he wasn't in the Big-top, he could have been right there and no one would have seen him, thought Big Paw may have still smelt him, which could be why his cage was locked.
History: Xi landed on Earth shortly after WW1, for the next 15 years he wondered the planet watching it's enhancement, it was in 1928, he ran into, Mindshield, a super with the Circus, who was immune to mental manipulation. this meant Xi, powers were ineffective against the Man who would go on to be his best friend. (Mindshield died of old age in 1956), along with the Crone he is the oldest person in the Circus, he was not present at the betrayal due to his sleep pattern, his species enter a hyphenation every 4 years that lasts for 1 year, past that they do not require sleep.

         Rarity: Super Rare
         Class: Passive. (Needing to be suppressed),
Power: Hive Queen emits a psychic control over people able to manipulate them into doing any task she demands this level of control is slimier to a Queen Bee or Ant's influence over it's colony, though unlike most Elizabeth & Hive Queen appear to be two separate personality's, with Elizabeth openly condemning what Hive Queen dose, Elizabeth takes Anti Psychosis med to keep the Queen dormant, but sometimes the Queen dose become active, Note: only Kristy, Crone, Doc & Xi seem to be unaffected by Hive Queens influence.



History: Elizabeth is not part of the Circus, and never has been, she lives in a quiet town with her Husband, another powered named, Dream Walker, they keep in touch with the circus as it has the only people known to be able to resist Hive Queen, when she regains control, Note Dream Walker is also immune to the Queens effect. (The reason why will be explaned in his Bio).

history: Andrew descoverd his powers at a young age. he openly admits he misused them as a kid, by turning his Teachers dreams into nightmeres forcing the teacher to become an insomniac, or fall asleep in class thanks to Andrew. but as he grew he did mature. realizing he could use his power to help people, with traumas and sleep related issues. with this mind set he attended medical school, and achived a degree in Sleep Psycology, it was here he met Brian (Doc), and the two struk up a friendship, Andrew was Brians best man. when Brians family were killed Andrew was able to help him. by simply watching his dreams.

He runs a sucsessful Theropy clinic in his home town, the same town him and Elizabeth live. him and Elizabeth, met after Hive Queen tried to build a cult around 30 years ago. Brian jokes Andrew won her heart because he litraly knew what her dreams were, This is untrue. Elezabeth was the one who made the first move.
the two have 1 Daughter, who is also a super, but she is away over seas with work.

The Reason, Doc, Dream Walker & Bounce Girl, are immune to Hive Queen is because of Dream Walkers theorpy, as Bounce Girl spent time talking to Andrew after she died. so anyone who's dreams he has entered that have powers, seams to become immune to Hive Queens effect.
