Race (Lineage Origin): D’Angeline
Gender: Male
Height: 6’1”
Home Province/Country: Namarre
Appearance (1-2 Paragraphs): Pierre has the tall, somewhat skinny physique what one some how expects of a jester. He has an expressive and not unattractive face with wide and hazel eyes and a smug yet somehow carefree smile. His hair is brown and straight and seems to fall about where it pleases, except down his neck.
Personality (1-2 Paragraphs): Has been trained not to take life too seriously and so for the most part he simply skims the surface of it, seeking to make others and himself happy in anyway he can on the most basic levels possible. He knows though that laughter goes a long way and feels that in itself is sufficient. He’s also intelligent and likes to give advice, maybe hoping he’ll be accepted for it and, as a jester is somewhat of a political critic. He can be a little bit of a showoff too.
Beneath all that though, in the part of him that he covers up with laughter, a part that believes that he is a man without any real home. He’s looking to find who he is. He wants to know what real love love looks like. In his interactions with others he’s is always lighthearted, but respectful. trained to be gentleman while still able to playfully poke fun at himself and others. He is a singer, tumbler … He is a jester.
History (At least 2 detailed Paragraphs): Pierre was born to a minor family in Namarre, the Trepardoux. As a child he was a bit of a showoff, doing stunts, telling jokes, putting on little shows for his family and his friends. His strong personality was immediately met with suggestions that the boy be taken to Mont Nuit as an Eglantine. He was there for about two years before it was decided that the eight year old should be sent to Orchis, finding his traits too varied for one place. So he trained there, still receiving instruction from various members of Eglantine until the time came for his debut. He was contracted to entertain children the first night and was rather disappointed. His next assignation however was the most mind-blowing thing he had ever known. He received good reports for both his performance on stage, and in the bedroom. His marque was made in the span of two years and he retired at only eighteen.
He went back to stay with his parents who now had several other children and had all but forgotten about him. He had been the middle child before but now it was as though he simply didn’t exist. This was the point in his life that caused him to place a high amount of doubt on the concept of family. He would live life free. He took up street performing, drew quite the crowd and paid for basic living for about six years. During that time he bounced from woman to woman, city to city, street to street. Eventually he came back to Elua and that was when the exponential curve began. First a lord invited him to perform at a fete, a year later he became personal entertainer for a Marquis, and just six months ago he was asked to come to the palace itself as court jester. He is now establishing himself there and has no plans of doing anything else.
