balthier | final fantasy xii

Character: Balthier
Canon: Final Fantasy XII
Canon Point: Post-game/pre-epilogue, with CRAU from Isle of Avalon.

Crime: Patricide.

Background: Balthier is a sky pirate with a flair for fashion and theatrics, who rather likes to make a habit of pointing out just how dashing he is while simultaneously claiming that he can't be bothered by getting involved in other people's business. Of course, while declaring loudly that he doesn't care, he's usually getting himself knee-deep in someone else's troubles for one reason or another. He'll deny it, but he's rather soft despite all his protesting. Though he wasn't always a pirate by trade, he has used sailing the skies of Ivalice to try and put distance between who he is now and who he once was, and in the process, got rather caught up in helping with a revolution that helped to free the kingdom of Dalmasca from occupation by his own homeland. Being a CRAU, he will have some memories from his year+ in Isle of Avalon, though at the moment they are completely obscured and will steadily return with time.

Abilities: Balthier is an expert pilot and engineer, in addition to being quite clever overall. He was something of an academic prodigy before he turned to piracy, though he doesn't care to talk about those days much. He has a short list of spells available to him that largely serve as support; his true combat prowess lies in his excellent marksmanship, and he's no slouch in close-quarters, either.

Plans:
  • He's spent more than enough time settling, so he's going to be looking to do more exploration and push further past the outskirts of Aldrip to see what's out there.
  • He'll be big on the travel portions of the event as a result!
  • STEALING SUPPLIES, STEALING SUPPLIES. It's for a good cause, so it hardly counts as a crime, right? It does, but that's fine.
