Hubet Saare

Hubert Saare (11 February, 16 BDY — 18 October, 85 DAN,) better known by the stage name Sneky, was a Foreaftian theatre actor and model, gaining significance as one of the few Foreaftian public figures of Sceroe descent.

Biography
Hubet was born Hubet Hatrai in Foreaft on 11 February, 16 BDY to Naatao And Lo’awi Hatrai. He was given up for adoption shortly after his birth, upon the discovery that Nartao had been having an affair with an unidentified Sceroe man and that Lo’awir was obviously not the child’s biological father. They divorced soon after, Nartao being disowned by the House.

Hubet was adopted by Ema and Vlada Saare at the age of three.

At the age of 29, Hubet found out he had a 3 year old child Uwo, who was being raised by his birth mother, Tostaana Pigul.

Theatre
Hubet was most notable for playing prominent secondary characters and rarely took on protagonist roles. This trend was motivated by the Foreaftian theatre tendencies: Hubet felt best acting in shorter episodes with concentrated emotion and expression rather than extended scenes, the latter being very popular with main characters at the time.

Appearance
Hubet had a mesomorph body type, dark complexion, natural 4b hair, black eyes with heavy eyelids. His exact ethnicity is unknown, although he was most definitely part Sceroe.

As a teen Hubet valued practicality and comfort over aesthetics, as was fitting for someone who had grown up with farmer parents, putting in the effort to look presentable, but never beyond. He would usually style his hair in a grown-out fade, was an avid fan of sneakers and vests, both of which he renounced ever liking in his later years.

Inspired by his brother's fashion experiments he eventually got into it himself. As he was gaining confidence in his body and physical abilities he started to wear flashier clothes, especially shoes. Hubet usually opted for clothes that were either more revealing or showed off his body shape. A loose shirt, either with a deep neckline or not fully buttoned, tight pants and signature high heel boot combinations were his favourite. Aside from theatre performances, he was rarely seen in public on heels lower than 3.5 inches, yet alone flat soles.

He got labret and medusa piercings at 17 and 18 respectively, getting his tongue split at 20 years old, which he derived his stage name “Sneky” from.

As a young adult Hubet gained more noticeable muscle definition and started wearing wigs almost religiously, especially a wig of straight white hair, which quickly became a staple of young “Sneky” persona. In his later years he stopped wearing wigs altogether and started growing out his hair, initially intending to wear it in an afro but soon switching to cornrows as he found them more practical. He also started growing out his facial hair into a rather messy chinstrap beard.

Personality
Hubet was a highly methodical, strong-willed man who exhibited astonishing levels of introspectiveness and self-control, especially for someone constantly in the public eye.

Ever since childhood Hubet developed habits rather easily. It could get out of hand very fast if not monitored, thus he developed strategies to utilise it for good. Aside from spending at least one to two hours every day on his body, especially in regards to flexibility, Hubet would also take at least an hour to meditate, and followed strict sleep schedules and diets. He abstained from all mind-altering substances aside from sugar, the intake of which he also limited, even during celebrations. According to Hubet, it was because growing up he had seen what substance use had done to his brother, so he had sworn to himself to never go down that path.

Hubet based his moral compass on established tradition and law instead of abstract philosophical ideas. He rarely found himself delving into future possibilities and dwelling in regrets, preferring to life in the present. Valuing stability as one of the highest virtues, he had a very strong sense of responsibility and strived to meet all obligations. He only respected authority that firmly imposed their regulations and had high expectations, refusing to follow anyone with a frail hand. However, he occasionally put himself in a position of power as well. He did have his own set of requirements when it came to him taking on acting roles, namely that he would not let anyone meddle with his diet.

Loyal and warm, Hubet had a tendency to unconditionally stand by those he cared about, and provided a constant source of emotional support. He was naturally apt for picking out people’s interests, and his desire for harmony made him a very caring and affectionate friend. However, he also had a tendency to believe that the people close to him could do no wrong. He always stepped up to defend them and expected the same in response, feeling deeply hurt when trust was not reciprocated.

However, despite being one of the most stable individuals in the whole Foreaftian entertainment field, Hubet received disproportionately more negative attention than most performers. Hubet was deeply concerned with his appearance, appearing vain at times, and loved to show off his body at any chance he got. He worked a lot to achieve and maintain his physique and contortion abilities. Another aspect of Hubet that was a frequent target of criticism was his openly recreational outlook on sexuality. To Hubet, sex was not inherently tied to emotion - it was just another way to casually socialise while being physically active. When asked, Hubet would compare it to group exercise in the gym. Coupled with complete disinterest in a serious relationship, it resulted in him leading a very sexually active lifestyle, characterised by numerous flings. It even included individuals from his own friend circle, most notoriously Švitris Gaila. His open sexuality and confidence in his body, alongside enjoying vulgar humour, led to him being portrayed as a rabid sex-freak in the media and was frequently focused on more than his performances. Publicly, Hubet seemed to be amused by the public attention and far-fetched rumours, sometimes fully indulging them for comedy and taking advantage of them on a couple occasions. In private however, he did confide to Švitris that it deeply hurt when his diligent work was cast aside in favour of sexuality rumours. Being outside of his control, and coupled with a recent scandal, it culminated with the breakdown of 999, being the only time Hubet had publicly lost emotional control over himself.

Švitris Gaila
In a move that was simultaneously spontaneous and calculated, they “dated” for about a week. It was motivated by The Carbon Copies’ struggle gaining notoriety and both of them wanting to explore a same-sex dynamic. Hubet had mixed feelings about it in hindsight. He regretted that his suggestion resulted in a temporary strain on their friendship as Švitris was suddenly propelled into harsh spotlight. the stunt also worsened the relationship between Švitris and Irmis, as well as turned Irmis completely against Hubet. Although in the long-term it brought Švitris and Hubet ever closer as friends and they continued calling each other traditional couple pet names and “boyfriends with a dash” afterwards.
