CHARACTER NAME: Balthier CANON: Final Fantasy XII JOURNAL:portolan INFO: Sexy bisexual pirate man with love of pretty things is charming on the outside, confused and alone on the inside. For some reason stealing shiny things doesn’t fix the hole anymore! Growing up (and PTSD) sucks. SKILLS: piracy, diplomacy, banter and wit, navigation (manual and technological), modding ships, rare artifacts. he makes really great tea because he's a snob about it. he has healing magic and pirate magic (vanish, decoy, etc.) AREAS OF INTEREST: He’s got some obvious skills for piracy and exploration which I think is how he'll cope, but I’m really interested in how losing found family and having just watched the impact of the wrong people in power nearly ruin three countries has impacted his own identity and who he wants to be. He’s got a brewing desire to lead that’s at odds with his loner behavior in his late teens. PLANS/GOALS: I’m most interested in Balthier finding his place in this new world and realizing he has the opportunity to reinvent himself again, or double down on parts he likes. He also probably needs to process grief from the first time he lost his whole life. I don’t have anything super specific in mind outside of this. CR PREFERENCES: Anything's good. I really like found family, and Balthier is the kind of person who will talk to anyone. I'm down for romantic, but he's demi and slow to trust so it'd take awhile (bi tho so all genders welcome). MISC HOOKS: -Balthier ran away from home and changed his name due to a falling out with his family; he’s sympathetic to other people with situations like this -Balthier really likes aesthetics and nice things -He loves navigation equipment and flying ships -Balthier has a soft spot for mentoring/watching out for younger people -Balthier has a complex relationship to power; his dad’s obsession with it put him off it for awhile, but helping his team restore the Princess of Dalmasca to her throne has forced him to question this black and white thinking. -Balthier is witty and has a sense of humor. He enjoys observing people and likes to have contacts from all walks of life so will do fine with shadier people or people with weaker/messier social skills. -He is, at the end of the day, a pirate and will do pirate things. NOTES: This is my first DWRP so I’m still learning the ropes and am sometimes feeling shy about reaching out to others. Please feel free to reach out, especially if anything is off!
