Vladimir Cossat

[Pretzel Heart]

❦ Vladimir Cossat ❦
"A lowly servant like myself isn't fit for a fancy ball like you, Master."​

f❧Position: Servant to the Prince of Nezzie

f❧Country of Origin: Unknown, but presumably Nezzie

f❧Gender: Male

f❧Age: 29 (born Piceary 14th, an Idorae)

f❧Hair: Black

f❧Eyes: Heterochromatic; left eye is blue-green and right is golden yellow

f❧Height: 5'11"

f❧Weight: 148 lbs

f❧Other Distinguishing Traits: He's usually smiling as if keeping some secret, however it could also just be that he's a naturally smiley guy. Notably he is never seen without his hat, giving the impression that he is very attached to it.

f❧Romance and Partners?: Yes, but it would not be easy for anyone hoping to woo. While he does seem to have luck in attracting the ladies, his firm loyalty towards the prince and the prince's family motivates him to abstain from such conducts on a normal basis. Though he is known to let himself go now and again, and on such occasions may exhibit a surprisingly flirty side of himself.

f❧Position on the Rebellion: As a servant, Vladimir thinks such lofty opinions above him. However, he would remain loyal to whatever his master decides.

f❧About: Out of everyone that Prince Kiefer brought with him to face the perilous journey to Saint Lyon, Vladimir seems to be the individual he takes to, or at least trusts, the most. Certainly Vlad busies himself with the prince's welfare, and wishes for him to succeed in all his endeavors. While Kiefer does rely on Vladimir and shares a close bond with him, the prince is often exasperated by what he sees as his servant's many mistakes, which he is quick to call him out on. In such instances, Vladimir appears to willfully accepts his master's punishment without remorse. Indeed he is a very suave, cheerful fellow with a cool demeanor who, if caught in a conversational mood, certainly has a number of tales to spin about his many travels before he came in the prince's service. However, such stories, if carefully monitored, may reveal various contradictions and holes to the extent that it is hard to really know where the line between fact and fantasy can be drawn. This may be because of Vlad's slightly disoriented nature, and he claims that he often forgets or muddles things, much to his master's chagrin. It doesn't help that he is incredibly impulsive and opportunistic, and will make decisions based entirely on whatever mood fits him. A go-with-the-flow attitude and willingness to see everyone get along makes him easy to like, however, and apparently he is as adept at getting himself out of trouble as getting into it...at least, that's what many of his travel tales would imply. The end result is an extremely enigmatic individual who remains quite impenetrable, though he would likely laugh any accusations of secrecy off. When it comes to his master, however, Vlad becomes very passive, being naturally subservient to Prince Kiefer's will. The two of them met six years ago and have been rarely separated ever since.

f❧Dance Level: He is quite shy about dancing, and, if asked, would likely protest that it is above his rank. He has been known on occasion to practice with Kiefer in the Follower position, though his movements are rather rough and the styles he teaches the prince most unusual. He claims to have picked them up from his various wanderings.

f❧Last Year's Cendrillion Ball: As Kiefer did not participate, Vladimir certainly did not attend. However, several of his travel tales seem to take place over Cendrillion in some year.

f❧Extra: Despite being a mere servant (and a bit of a troublesome one at that), Vladimir is capable in many regards, such as horse handling, tea preparation, and even physical combat. The man is said to be quite skilled with a sword, and would easily lay down his life in service of his master.

Personality Index ~

MBTI Result: ISFP-A, The Adventurer. Vladimir enjoys upsetting traditional expectations. He lives in a colorful world inspired by connections with people and ideas. His joy comes from reinterpreting these connections and experimenting with new perspectives. Thus Vlad is spontaneous to the extent that even those close to him may find him unpredictable. Not one to dwell on the past or future, he'll instead enjoys thinking about whatever impulse will lead him to the next experience. Because of Vlad's willingness to pursue pleasure and passion, he can sometimes get involved with some risky behaviors. Still, being in tune with his environment and others means that he still usually ends up alright in the end. Though an introvert at his core, Vlad enjoys connecting with others, and has a certain kind of irresistible charm. He's good with words, knowing how to soften a heart. At the same time, he doesn't do well with "bothersome" things like criticism, and will often avoid those who find fault in his ways rather than fix himself. His master, of course, being the exception. Vlad is sensitive to others and values harmony. Constantly living in the moment, he is easily able to call the past the past and move on. However, he's not the best at planning ahead for the future.

❧ Energy = 59% Introverted. Though Vladimir does enjoy the company of others, being overly-prolonged to interactions wears him out in the long run. He values his solitude, and has struck an amicable balance throughout his travels, being mostly on his own in his wanderings and filling his socializing fix whenever he stumbled into a settlement.
❧ Mind = 57% Observant. Despite his cloudcuckoolander tendencies, Vlad is ultimately a practical individual who is grounded in the present. He's always thinking about what's best for him and those whom he serves.
❧ Nature = 80% Feeling. Vlad is caring and empathetic, placing a high emphasis on harmony. He is happiest when everyone is getting along.
❧ Tactics = 95% Prospecting. With a relaxed attitude and knack for seeking adventure, it is little wonder that Vlad scored highest in this category. He doesn't like to be tied down by things like "plans" or "goals." Even if he does have one, it won't take long for him to deviate as soon as impulse takes him or a good opportunity comes along. Still, he does his best to live up to his masters' wishes.
❧ Identity = 88% Assertive. Vlad is rarely shaken, and would likely take his lackadaisical smile with him to the executioner's scaffold. He holds a philosophy that life will bring what it does, and there's no use getting carried away by things like setbacks. On the other hand, he's not very driven.

RHETI Enneagram Result: Type 7: The Enthusiast. Vladimir is energetic, lively, optimistic, and he wants to contribute to the world. He lives a life of action based on seeking experience, pursuing plans, dreams, and visions. This makes him multi-talented, curious, and experienced, with a strong appreciation for beauty, style, and aesthetic flair. He exudes a youthful spirit, viewing the world as a giant playground...though he is also a bit childish with a constant need for instant gratification. He seems unusually lucky, though in reality this "luck" happens because he is unusually perceptive of opportunities and quick to grab them. He's a good problem solver in a pinch, able to improvise clever solutions. This improvisational style makes him quite entertaining and comedic, though with a tendency to disappear when more boring tasks need to be done. He can quickly master new areas of expertise, though he may also be slow to finish or follow through. He leans more closely to the 6 wing, also showing some characteristics of The Loyalist. This means he is trustworthy and responsible, valuing loyalty to family, friends, groups, and causes. He places trust above all else, though his capacity for loyalty can have devastating effects if channeled into something malicious or unreliable. He is also unusually sensitive to betrayal.

D&D Alignment Result: True Neutral.Vladimir is diplomatic, enigmatic, self-reliant, mediatory, and even-handed. He is able to act naturally without prejudice or compulsion, and though he might sometimes display apathy, indifference, or a lack of conviction, he sees his actions as being entirely realistic. Vlad is concerned mainly with his own well-being and that of his master and allies, whom he will never betray unless the situation is dire. In the end he is overall tactful, though he may come across as being strange for those who do not understand his way of looking at the world. He believes that all things will come to pass when they are supposed to, and no sooner or later. Having no strong leanings one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos, he instead realizes how each of these things maintains equilibrium. It's not that he lacks interest, ambition, or passion; after all, he values his own well-being and that of friends and loved ones. He may even struggle passionately on behalf of himself or others, as well as feel compassion for those he barely knows. He responds well to higher authority, as long as his ability to pursue his own desires goes unhampered. He will follow the law unless breaking it is in his best interest and he's reasonably sure that he will not be caught. He is indifferent to the concepts of self-discipline and honor.
