✷ summary

a renowned and beloved actor working for the Jeunoan theatre "Festivus Animus". together with their troupe, they perform a variety of theatre productions for wealthy patrons: musicals, dramas, tragedies, ballets, etc. collie prides themself on being a master of disguise, able to disguise as (almost) any hume they choose to be, and they utilize this skill exceptionally well in the various characters they play.

behind closed doors, collie's love of games takes an unsavory turn: in underground circles they disguise themself as the doppelganger of an infamously lucky gambler, rumored to have an unbroken winning streak at every game she has ever played. she is a gambler so unbelievably lucky, in fact, she survived a recent murder attempt- completely unscathed...

✷ personality

♥ clever, confident, eager to learn, eloquent, curious, affable, charismatic, passionate, imaginative

✕ dishonest, secretive, hedonistic, self-indulgent, depressive, underhanded, escapist, irresponsible

collie is very social and loves to spend their time engaging with others. their well-mannered and pleasant act allows them to cooperate with and easily befriend a variety of people, though they usually keep most non-business relationships surface-level and at arms-length. given their line of work in acting and gambling, they can easily feign emotion and hide their true intentions- you never really know what they're thinking.

on-stage, and when playing games, they have a charisma that captivates spectators. they are passionate about playing games of all kinds across vana'diel; games both ancient and modern, games of chance, strategy, card and board games, puzzles and riddles, and the like. they are equally as passionate about appreciating art in its various forms: writing & poetry, performance and music (of course), the visual arts, etc

underneath it all, collie conceals a wily and highly driven attitude; they suffer from hedonistic tendencies in their neverending pursuit to chase a thrill. though they value maintaining a respectable image for their career and public appearance, their unhealthy habit of indulging themself makes it difficult for them to keep irresponsible behavior under wraps.

they are a massive flirt that privately enjoys having shallow and brief romantic affairs... they want all of the fun without any of the commitment. the second anything starts to get serious, they immediately get cold feet, and run off to the next potential partner to replace their old one.

✷ physical description
  • eyes: steel blue / skin tone: light skinned, slightly warm in tone
  • hair: chestnut brown. they tie their hair in a small ponytail on the back with an olive colored ribbon.
  • body type: mesomorphic. they're fit, lithe, and fairly toned from years of acting and dancing. they are about 5'7" (170 cm) tall
  • voice: a poised, confident, well-articulated tenor. their voiceclaim is light yagami (*specifically from the death note musical): voice clip 1 / voice clip 2 (the very first person singing)

collie is fastidious about maintaining a well-groomed appearance in public. they have a wealth of knowledge about historical and modern fashion trends- appropriately enough, they have no shortage of wardrobe choices from their career (or their very deep pockets).

✷ skills & details

  • dancer, bard, and thief skills; guess what theyve been doing for years for their career. ill write in flavor text later but this is self explanatory
  • master of (hume) disguise; collie has accumulated a collection of masks, makeup, costumes, and props allowing them to invent multiple personas to disguise themself as for use in their career, daily life, and underground networks. they cannot cast illusory or transformative spells due to their own ineptitude in wielding magic, and so they pride themself on their sheer skill in acting and costume assembly to pull off convincing disguises. they are well-trained to mimic the voice of almost anyone they hear, but begins to struggle with copying effeminate high-pitched voices.
  • right handed; and fully capable of comfortably writing with their left. they are highly practiced in forgery and can accurately copy any handwriting style and signature, if it is in a language they are fluent in.
  • excellent throwing skills; skilled at using ranged weapons (bows, rifles, etc.) and throwing projectiles with deadly precision. they typically keep throwing knives, playing darts, and a deck of metal playing cards on hand. they're even able to weaponize shooting a few coins of gil, dice, and gambling chips- almost anything they can get their hands on- if they have nothing left.
  • perceptive eye; their keen eye lends itself perfectly well to paying close attention to opponents in gambling and fighting. if you sent them flying mid-battle, or if you were about to knock them unconscious, they would somehow be able to clearly notice the most minute of details to remember for later.
  • dirty fighting tactics; when in disguise (or when otherwise certain they can't be identified), they're not above playing dirty in both fighting and gambling: twisting the joints, boxing the ears, kicking the groin, throwing sand at the eyes, rolling loaded dice, etc... they'll use every trick in the book to get the job done if they have to.
  • escape artist; trying to catch collie is like trying to catch a weasel in your hands. they will most likely find a way to escape confinement one way or another. its already difficult to chase them when they're running with their pants down...

    ( additional facts about collie that didn't fit above )

  • if asked about their gender, they will respond that the concept is irrelevant to them. they don't mind being addressed with masculine terms (mr, sir, guy, man, etc.) as long as it comes with the understanding that they are not male
  • eloquent in manner of speaking with an interest in metaphors and idioms. they especially enjoy listening to the variations in tarutaru dialect

  • excellent with entertaining children. they dont do so well when dealing with upset kids...
