BALTHIER BUNANSA [2/?]bhujerbaJuly 27 2009, 16:14:39 UTC
AU HISTORY; - Born to a scientist and a lawyer, Balthier was raised in England along with his two older brothers. The oldest was destined to follow science, the middle child destined to law, the youngest--well, Balthier--was destined to not really think about destiny all the time. - Initially, Balthier's relationship with his father (the scientist) were decent, if not favorable--but as his father became more and more absorbed in research, he became estranged from the family. He spent more time away from home, which put more work upon his mother and more stress upon the family itself. - Not exactly fond of where his relationship with his father was going, Balthier decided that, above all else, he must not turn out like him. He strayed away from his family's pretentious rites and formalities and began to speak his mind more often. - Eventually, he decided that he would rather pursue a more well-rounded, American education rather than an English one where studies were far too focused and, frankly, not to his liking. And of course, moving away would help to put more distance between him and his father. PERSONALITY; Balthier is a man who's quick to the punch and never misses a beat--he's always on the ready, never caught off guard, and never caught without a trick up his sleeve (at least, that is what his peers have grown to believe). A frank and opinionated man when it comes to politics and society, everything from the way he acts, speaks, dresses, and walks makes Balthier the living, breathing example of the aristrocratic gentleman (except for, you know, the "being daft" part of the job description).
While his pretentious way with words and suspiciously natural knack for backhanded compliments may make him come off as rather unpleasant, Balthier isn't as much of an incorrigible asshole has he tries to make it seem. He's god a brain behind the lip, and a bite with the bark. He's got a never-faltering amount of common sense, and always plans ahead--he's the type that comes off placid, but is always, always thinking. But of course, he isn't some antisocial hermit--he actually quite enjoys the company of others, and in a good mood, can be very sociable. He is calm, witty, likeable--and, well, a bit arrogant, too. I guess it comes with living the good life for so long.
And though he tries to come off as some proud, independent loner, he does foster quite the soft spot for the underclassmen that he takes under his wing. In the end, it cannot be argued or denied that Balthier is a pretty accepting guy--an accepting guy that can be fiercely loyal to his loved ones. Once he sets his mind to things, he goes through until end--and once he forges a bond, he's not one to take it lightly. In short, Balthier is the type of man who doesn't care for loose ends or regrets--and exchange a few words with him, and you'll know it, too.
