Gus
Gender male
Age older than dirt ( believed to be 83 but MAY be as old as 93!)
Tribe Jellicle.
Tribe Position: (Not applicable for all characters. Positions are given out by staff.)
Family: Asparagus JR (grandson) Romeo (son)
Appearance:
Gus has a gray, tan and brindle coat with black stripes shot with flecks of black and rust, which hangs loosely on what was once an impressive frame for his size. physically he is frail and suffers from ailments such as arthritis, bur sites, and palsy which gives him atottery gait and limits the usefulness of his paws.
Human Appearance: (Optional)
Personality:
a lovable old gent, he is probably one of the most social Jellicles. Gus loves attention, he loves to get it and to give it.
to this day he is still preforming, the stage and the audiences are smaller true, but it is still a stage!
in his youth he was the Tugger of his day, a player with a willing Queen always on the string and usually had two or three mates, all knowing about each other, at a given time!
much to Jellylorum's disapproval, while not a drunkard he is fond of drink as it eases his pain. he is a social drinker and if he can avoid it he will not drink alone.
always cleaver his mind is still facile and his memory astounding. he delights in sharing his knowledge and experiences, though keeping him on track an be a trial, especially if it takes him anywhere near his time on the boards or his opions about the current state of theater!
Describing word: Ham.
History:
the stage. that's where it began and if Gus gets his wish that's where it will end.
Gus was born under the stage of a small East End theater. he watched the human pre formers with utter fascination as he grew up, and followed the best of them when they moved on. again.and again. and again. in this way he Finlay came to his theater The Grande. from there he convinced some of his fellow Jeliclles to found a troupe of pre formers, among them was Grizzabella who was one of his first leading ladies.
these were the Palmiest Days to which he so often refers.
he took great pleasure in introducing his fellow Jeliclles to Shakespeare, Ibsen, and the operetta's of Gilbert & Sullivan.
in particular The Pirates of Penzance. while they have played venues throughout London and it's suburbs the troupe always returned to the Grande.
as he aged Gus went on tour less and less instead focusing on the productions at the Grande and in the Yard for the tribe.
it was during this time he sired Romeo, Asparagus J.R's father with Rosealie, another of his leading ladies. sadly as with all his mates he out lived her as well.
one of the darkest periods for the family was while he and Romeo were arguing over Romeo's involvement with Silverta. she however did win Gus over, and when Asparagus J.R was born she enchanted the old fellow.
he has been a confidant and adviser to Deuteronomy for as long as anyone can remember even before his decline and even after he was no longer hail and hearty Gus provided advice as to how the disciplined organization of stage craft could be applied to handle crisis situations such as dangerous weather.
he is proud to see his Grandson take up the performance torch and is greatly appreciative of Jellylorums care.
RP Sample:
slowly Gus drew him self up and his eyes widened "and then the music swelled and the follow spot found us, Rosealie and I. she called demurely from the balcony 'Romeow, oh Romeow. wheare for art thou Romeow?" the old tom began to cough. "ahem, ahem, well my throat is getting a bit parched how about a little tipple to loosen it up hmmmm?"
Comments: (Please include Mystic powers here if applicable
as it is unlikely that he played Growltiger in his youth, as the Capitain is a vigorus adult PC, I have substituted The Pirates of Penzance and the role of The Pirate King as the role of Gus's prime.
