Name Given at Birth: Gregor Vincent Christian Alexander Boleyn
Nicknames: N/A
Hometown or where you were born: Canterbury
Current Residence: Gypsy Encampment.
Age: 18 years
Class: I am a son of the leader of greatest Gypsy Band in the world.
What do you do, your main function in life/society: I do my chores for my Papa mostly working in the clay pit, as well as earn coin with my brothers dancing and wooing in the name of the great Boleyn Family. In short my function is to say aye Papa and do as he says. Though a lot of the time I have trouble listening. I don't know why, I'm probably just not paying attention. It gets Papa very angry with me sometimes.
Have you ever gone skinny-dipping / do you know how to swim: Sometimes when the sun burns down on me to hard in the middle of chores I will sneak off and help myself to a nice relaxing swim, hoping Papa does not catch me.
Do you make fun of people: I make fun of only my brothers, though it is all in good fun.
Favorite Color: Red, for in my eyes red is a strong color symbolize strength endurance and a willingness to succeed.
Have you ever committed or been convicted of a crime: Convicted of a crime??? HA HA you have to catch me first! Papa, Nickolai, and Evgeny have taught me very well
Closest Friends:
- Vladislaus Salvatiko or we call him Tibor. He is one of Papa's servants but has spent much time with me and my brothers, and though he is just a lowly slave, I would still consider him a friend.
- Radu has not been a servant for more than two or three years, but does a good job. I would very much consider him a friend as well.
- Princess Petronella spent a year with my kumpania as Saphira. She was a Great asset and is very much my friend. Though Her Papala does not approve of her spending to much time with us. Though her papala King Salmonella and my Papa are good friends
- Fantasio is the Jesters Apprentice and when I come to Canterbury I find great fun in picking on him. As well as converse. Besides he holds use to me, he is close to the Queen if ever there arose a need to get close myself.
One Pillow or two: I don't use a pillow anymore, I'm tired of Evgeny stealing it after i fall asleep.
Pets: only the pig I take care of for Papa
Favorite Type of Music: Anything with a good Gypsy beat.
Hobbies/Pastimes: Dancing, sculpting, singing, enjoying the company of Gaje girls (don't tell Papa).
Personal Hygiene: I am obviously much better smelling than my brothers, at least in my opinion.
Favorite Food: Pork and Cheese, I used to think it was Papas favorite then I found out differently. But it stuck on me.
Are your parents alive, do you get along with them: My Papa is very much alive and well, and i get along with him fine... sometimes.
If your parents are dead, when and how did they die: My mother died shortly after my birth from a strange infection caused by my birth.
Favorite place to relax: In the pond, but I have to run when i see Papa coming to rest.
Favorite Holy Day / Why: Yule, because I don't have to work, and i just get to have fun with maximum making fun of my brothers.
Favorite Drink: I tasted Sake once while traveling in the orient. It blew my mind. Almost literally.
What's your bedtime: As soon as Papa says I can crawl under the Vardo and pass out.
What if anything, do you usually wear on your feet: Sandals or nothing at all.
Are you married or single: I am single, Papa is looking for a nice sweaty, fat, gypsy woman with big child bearing hips for me to marry.
Do you have a family/who are they:
- My Papa; Raising me as his son, teaching me every step of the way. I owe all I have to him, and more. Though I may not always mind him, I love my Papa very much. So much in fact that I find parchment all over the camp and on it I write in secret our family history, so that one day I may give it to him.
- Martino is my eldest brother. He has taken on the work of the caravan and as well has helped Papa several times in the "family business". He inspires me though he has as big a weak spot in his heart for the ladies as I do. Growing up it is he I always looked up to. He would not teach me like Nickolai and Evegny but would keep them from picking on me. On the 29th day of January Martino was arrested by the French government. And was imprisoned and tortured for information as to whom he is working for. Evgeny and Nickolai helped him escape and he is in Brussels right now.
- Santiago me second eldest brother was born one minute after Martino. Santiago sometimes pays me to do his chores the work. He seems to be ruled by his belly. He eats a lot and always has a women by his side. He is very conceited and self absorbed though is willing to take care of his family. A blessed singer he doesn't seem to have much of a stomach for it.
- Lucianna is my only sister. She can do just about anything. I have never a person with so much intensity and will power in there work. She wishes to take Martino's in the Caravan and i welcome her to it. Though being a woman I'm not to sure she can. She takes good care of us and is always helping us out, whether it me with advice or just supervising us. She is gentle but firm in the way she treats us. I respect her and work for her because I believe she loves us so much.
- Nikolai, the next brother, wishes he were more handsome than I. Though I can respect his confidence in himself. He almost never does his chores because of all the Gaje girls. He is much better than me with a bow and seems way too intelligent for as lazy as he is. I keep telling Papa about seeing him on the roof with Gaje girls but for some reason he keeps going back. It is easy though to tell how proud Papa is of him.
- Evgeny wishes his paintings were near as beautiful as my sculptures. But even I have to admit how well they are done. I cant help it he loves to paint. I have even noticed Papa refilling his paints. He seems very proud of his artistic abilities. He is good hearted and always full of humor though does not spare joke on us younger brothers expense. He is very intelligent and is never at a loss for words. Though Harder working than Nickolai he still has the same thirst for the company of a Gaje girl. He hunts like a ghost and is a wonderful craftsman. All in all though him and Nickolai take care of us.
- Sasha, my immediate older brother, invents all kinds of crazy things. Some of it is total garbage I think, but to my surprise it seems like most of it works. His guile is amazing when it comes to commerce and trade. It is Sasha's duty to take care of the "Big Cats." Since it was his idea to transport these large cats it was Nikolai’s idea to have him build their cages for the Cats as Vardos and after cleaning those cages once, it was Evgeny’s idea to have Sasha clean the cages from then on.
- Slavvo, my immediate younger brother, has been performing for as long as i can remember. In my opinion he may be the best actor in the entire caravan. He is an amazing dancer, and performs for most of the royalty we are called on to perform for. He is almost as smart as I am, as hard as that is to do, but does know a thing or two.
- Tito, another younger brother, I can say has brains. A lot of brains... Almost as much as me even. He is even almost as funny as I am. I have to watch me back. But he is a mapmaker and an explorer so hopefully these will keep him preoccupied so I can stay ahead of him. His dream is to explore the new world but i ask why? We have a perfectly good one right here. He wanders off a lot, and I have no idea where he goes, probably exploring somewhere.
- Guido, yet another brother, is a total goof. He drinks and eats to much only to come home and get caught and punished by Papa. I admit he has us rolling in laughter on multiple occasions throughout the day. Guido is not a bad guy, he has a sensitive side and seems to care for us brothers a lot.
- Benvolio, again another brother (did I mention I have 12 siblings?), is very quiet. He is very clever when it comes to earning coin. Ill have to remember this in the future, so i can take it from him. He is quite intelligent with his mathematics. Enough so that he carries an abacus in a bag on his belt. He found it under the vardo a while ago.
- Cesar, my second youngest brother, has a beautiful voice. His singing is so great that it almost rivals my own. he is very sensitive though. It kind of confuses me. Multiple times we would have some fun with him like we do all our brothers and he would go and stay with Papa for a while. He is off with another performing troupe right now but we meet him every one and a while.
- Luca is my youngest brother. It almost annoys me how protective and lenient Papa is with him. But I think I can understand where he is coming from, I seem to go out of my way on way to many occasions just to make sure all is well with him. He tells me constantly of his dreams for the future. So many plans I'm not sure how he will fit them all into his lifetime. One of these days i am going to call him over and have him help he with the clay. He can get some hard work in and we can discuss his dreams more. I admit the imagination of the boy intrigues me. He says it almost so vividly as if he were telling a lore. The only down side is all the stupid questions he seems to ask so consistently. He seems to think to hard and wands to know things too much. Again i admit his dancing is unique. Almost as beautiful as the wind blows... which is almost as good as I. But if I find another bug he "takes into his care" he will... he will... well lets just say he will never do it again.
Favorite Entertainment: Watching Papa Scream at Evgeny and Nickolai.
Favorite Subject in School or Chore growing up: Watching the pig...
Least Favorite Subject in School or Chore growing up: I hate horses...
Favorite Sport: Wrestling with my brothers.
Most Humiliating Moment: After a nice morning of drinking I decided to go skinny dipping with a pair of Gaje girls completely drunk. When we were done we got out and went back to town, where I realized I was so drunk I had forgot to put my clothes back on. but instead of going back to get my clothes the Gaje girls talked me into getting a rather mundane tattoo on the left side of my chest. so after wards while I was walking through town naked to get my clothes I ran into Nickolai who has been ridiculing me ever since, but I let him because he has not yet told Papa about the whole naked incident. well to make it even worse I went back and got my clothes and stumbled back to Papa who saw my tattoo and as a punishment he took me back into town and had Justice tattooed on the right side of my chest in latin.
Proudest Moment: When me and my brothers were complimented by the Queen herself on our dancing abilities. I know it was all me.
Craziest Person or silliest you know: Guido without a doubt. but at least his silliness brings a smile to my face.
What do you look for in the opposite sex: Whatever Papa lets me have.
In our Hierarchical Society everybody has somebody "over" them, who is your immediate "overlord": Papa or maybe one of my older brothers, but Papa is above them.
How Do You Feel about that person?: I love him dearly.
Favorite Sport to watch: Myself beating down my brothers in wrestling matches.
Do you remember your first kiss: There have been so many... I mean kiss, what are you talking about?
Where is your favorite "Vacation" spot: I travel the world, everyday is a vacation day... plus work.
Do you have Dirt/Mud floors or Stone: I sleep under a vardo, enough said.
What is your bed made of: A cloth mat.
How many people sleep in your bed: As crazy a sleepers as my brothers are it seems like everybody sleeps in my bed at least a little through the night rolling and kicking.
