:CdP: Klaus H. Schwartzen:

My application to be their make-up artist--

Name: Klaus Hans Schwartzen
Age: 26
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 150 pounds (68kg)
Class: Crew
Act/Job: Make-up Artist
Personality: Pleasant, generally nice to people, somewhat hot-tempered (he controls this though), not talkative unless spoken to.

Bio: Klaus has been doing art all his life and worked with many mediums while he was at it. He made some money out of commissions and exhibitions and he would have been fine with it too, if he'd stuck to making sculptures or painting on canvas. The thing was, he got bored with them. Sure, he could have tried to follow in the steps of some really famous painter, but what he really wanted was a different way of bringing his art to life.
He was never really close to his family, so he had all the time in the world to do what he wanted, and after experiencing a Mardi Gras celebration once, he couldn't quite get it out of his head. The human face was such an interesting canvas to paint on, so he decided to try his hand at make-up and worked for several modelling agencies.

Again, he got bored. The models never really brought out anything interesting on the catwalk, no matter how much he looked at them walk down the catwalk with poker faces. He liked his job, but there was just something missing from it... Something that he saw in the Mardi Gras that wasn't present on the catwalk.

He found it in the most unlikely of places. The circus was in town and a co-worker happened to have an extra ticket, but no one to take with him. Klaus took him up on his offer, to Cirque du Papillon's performances, and Klaus already knew what he wanted to do.

"I found it..."


Extra info:
-He speaks with an accent. He thought living away from home would get rid of his accent, but it would never really leave him alone. He kind of finds his accent annoying.

-He's a little OCD when it comes to his work. He'd demand the performer/entertainer to not move while he was working, lest he poked their eyes out with his brush or something. Said something about them standing in the way of perfection.

-He's easily appeased though, once the performer/entertainer steps on stage and do their acts.

-Has a deep dislike for spicy foods.

-Allergic to bell peppers.

-Responds to both 'Klaus' and 'Hans', but more on 'Hans' because his co-workers often made Santa Claus jokes--

-He has the tendency to stress himself out. This results in his having white hairs--
