| 9 | As described by the Admin: |
| 10 | ''"The Cirque Mystique is a traveling circus/magic show. It has the usual stuff: tight rope walkers, magicians, clowns, etc. But there's one big thing that sets them apart from all the rest: Everything that happens on stage is real. A guy turns into a bear? It's real. A dancer disappears into thin air? It's real. A guy breaths out fire? It's real. Of course, the audience doesn't know this. They just think it's special effects. Dr. Facilier is in charge of the whole thing. He finds people with talent/special powers and puts them in his show. Once you're in, you're basically in for life. So, what's your character? You have a bunch of possibilites ahead of you."'' |

| 28 | %%* AbnormalAmmo: Whether they're magic spells or ordinary weapons, they sure come in handy somehow. |
| 29 | %%* AcceptableBreaksFromCanon: It's a roleplay, after all. Anything can happen to the characters depending on the Youtube User's plans for them. |
| 30 | * AdaptationalOriginConnection: Most of the character's backstories would come first, and then their time joining Cirque Mystique would connect him. |
| 31 | * AdaptationalPersonalityChange: This happens to a few characters, while the rest of the chosen characters still have their original personalities intact from their perspective series. This depends on how their CharacterDevelopment changes from their personalities in the roleplay. It's a little change, but it actually gives some impact on what they went through before they arrived to Cirque Mystique in the first place. |
| 32 | * AdaptationalSpeciesChange: The majority of characters who are entered into the roleplay are changed into {{Half Human Hybrid}}s. |
| 33 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: It happens when characters who have powers from their original series are changed for the Roleplay, such as [[spoiler:Violet, who had her power of creating force fields and being invisible from ''The Incredibles'' changed.]] |

| 37 | %%* AgeIsRelative: Subverted. Their appearance looks deceiving than their age as it was more than meets the eye. |

| 39 | * AlternateTimeline: Based on the chosen clips from her audition, Esmerelda was found in the ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967'' timeline, her mother was killed in the ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'' timeline, and then she was found by Facilier in the ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' timeline. |
