Character Information
Name: George Colthurst St. Barleigh
Canon Origin/Series: Blackadder Goes Fourth
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Personality:
The first thing which one notices about George is his idealism and constantly upbeat outlook on life
He is extremely steadfast in this positive attitude, and remains unshaken even in the rather bleak situation in which he finds himself in canon (the trenches during WW1). Indeed, the only time his positive attitude ever seems to slip is when he is facing certain death, and even then he strives not to let his negative feelings become dominant.
He is quintessentially, bordering on stereotypically, British and in many ways the embodiment of the ‘upper class twit’. He is frequently noted as being rather stupid and lacking in any kind of skill. In spite of this, he remains an endearing character due to his amiable personality. He does, however, possess a great talent for painting and while he acknowledges this as ‘the only thing he was ever any good at’, he doesn’t seem to appreciate the full extent of his skills, which appears to stem from both modesty (“one doesn’t like to blow ones own trumpet”) and sheer stupidity.
He is also shown to be extremely loyal, even to those who have been less than kind to him in the past. Demonstrated by his steadfast desire to rescue Captain Blackadder from capture, despite being constantly reassured of the futility of his efforts, and also seen in the finale, when he is offered the chance to opt out the ‘big push’ which would inevitably result in his death, yet chooses to remain rather than abandon his comrades. However, His almost blind respect for his comrades and superiors means that he can sometimes be rather easily taken advantage of.
Why should they be a camp counsellor?
George is unlikely to have the skills to hold down the ‘respectable’ white collar job expected of someone of his prestigious background. In all likelihood, he could more then afford not to work at all, but his enthusiastic personality would not allow him to be content doing this. With this in mind it seems like he would jump at such an opportunity were it to come up. He also has a strong ‘team mentality’, so the group activities associated with camp would appeal to him.
His positive and upbeat personality seem very well suited to the position, and while he may not have great leadership qualities, he never succumbs to negativity and would probably fit into the ‘perky camp counsellor‘ role rather well.
He appears to be in rather good physical shape and also has great degree of artistic skill, which would make him capable of engaging in the typical ‘camp-type’ activities.
One roleplay sample:
Dawn had barely broken when the silence surrounding the camp was broken by the bright, chipper sound pouring out from the magical PA system
“Good Morning, chaps. Time to head on out for your day morning at Camp.”
George could hear his own voice ringing in the speakers. Despite the hour, he was entirely energized and gearing to get started with the latest group of camp visitors. This had been the third group he would be working with since he began his job at the start of the summer and, truth be told, the group he had been most looking forward to. They were from his side of the pond, after all, and it would be nice to see just a little bit of old Blighty after these few months.
“Now let’s all head out and grab some breakfast before we get torn in to some good old camp activities!”
