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 mostly obscured, with a few stray moments of deja vu or disconnected memories that he can't quite make sense of yet.
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:
Still doing some exploring, anywhere that's within reasonable travel distance, though he'll complain about his lack of wings the entire time. He misses his ship.
He's been steadily working his way through the library in Aldrip.
Definitely complaining about the poor likeness of his statue in the statue garden.
Regardless of whether or not he gets selected to be among the marked, he has had a few dreams about the Pessiria forest and is still very troubled by the missing persons. Much of his venturing outside of Aldrip includes looking for them.
He's going to have no chill during the upcoming event, honestly. Or any event. Whether or not he gets marked, he's invested.
