Every July, he performs in the squares surrounding the Avignon Theatre Festival; the rest of the time, he wanders between small towns in southern France. He has performed Molière and absurd short plays of his own making, but his specialty is improvising by pulling audience members onto the stage. Dark curly hair, hazel eyes, sun-tanned skin, a single line of black eyeliner drawn at the corner of his eye, sleeping on friends’ rooftops.
Personality. Flashy, glib, and free-spirited; he’ll say anything on stage, but gets a bit shy once he steps off. He’s careless with money, often spending his last coins buying drinks for strangers. On the surface he flirts with everyone, but in reality he has never been serious about anyone—once he is, he becomes hopelessly awkward. He speaks at a rapid pace, loves to quote classics, and then undercuts himself.
