Vil and Jobs (pt1)

Vil says that there isn’t anywhere in particular that he calls home, as he has been traveling for work since he was a child. Eric explains that Vil started acting early so he was often being pulled out of school, and wasn’t always able to get close to his classmates as a result. 

Vil says that he “definitely stood out at school. In a good way” and that no one ever bullied him (perhaps not counting the incident that introduced him to Jack as being bullied at school?).

Vil says he started performing before starting elementary school, with Eric explaining that Vil got scouted as a result of always accompanying him on shoots. 

Vil says that he’d yet to have any training when he made his debut so he wasn’t much of an actor when he first started. Eric says he was already getting leading roles within his first year but Vil specifies that he was only co-lead, as “Neige was the real star.”

Vil says that he and Neige “did a number of shows together” that Ace says were often aired in the Queendom of Roses.

Vil says they “topped the ratings and won some awards,” and he started getting lead roles in films in elementary school as well, but it didn’t feel special to him, and especially not when compared to what his father was doing.

Vil has voice line about learning table manners when he was in elementary school “for work,” and doing “a fair amount of voice work as a child actor,” which is how he learned about animation techniques.

Vil says he is not familiar with theme parks, having been to one with his dad when he was younger but by the time he started middle school he was so busy with work that he didn’t have the time. 

In the Tapis Rouge event they meet a staff member that Vil says he has known since his child actor days, who was a new hire at the time and is now a line producer for a film that his father is producing and acting in.

When asked if he is particularly skilled at flight magic Vil says that while he is not particularly Unskilled, his grades in flight class “are merely average.”

Vil says that it isn’t that he is satisfied with his grades, but he is not dying to compete with others, either, as the students with top marks all seem to have had expert magical instruction prior to their enrollment.
