CHARACTER INFO
Character: Basch fon Ronsenburg
Canon: Final Fantasy XII, Escaping the Sky Fortress Bahamut
Age: 36
Background Information: Convenient Wiki Link
Personality: Please answer the following questions about your character. Be as clear as possible, and provide examples where you can. You can format this section as either 1) individual sections for each question; or 2) a more freeform essay/paragraph that covers all the topics. Please do not exceed 1200 words total.
1) Tell us about who your character is and what someone’s first impression would be upon meeting them. 2) What is a driving force your character has? What goals do they have, what motivates them, etc? 3) What are their flaws as a character? What is something they've messed up, or have done that they regret?
-Basch is the quintessential knight. Duty is his very being, even dismissing his own reputation. His duty is to his country first, then to other people, and then to himself. He will continue to serve even after failure - failure does not free him of any duty oaths he had taken. He is truly a selfless person. Even after living in shame, he no longer cares what people think about him. He does what he knows to be right, and he does his duty. Everything else falls into place. If one person must bring shame to themselves in order to continue their duty, then so be it. Though, not everyone agrees with his view on it. He is also a firm believer in Fate. Everything happens for a reason. Everyone has their place in the world, and their own job to do. He doesn't believe in coincidence. He is proud and righteous, reliable to the end. He also does not look lightly on mindless violence, especially against innocents.
On outward appearances, Basch is very stoic. Many consider him rigid and uncompromising. It's not to say that he can't enjoy himself, but he keeps most of it to himself. He takes many things to heart and is rather somber. He's not quick to show emotion or lose his temper, either. A smile from him is a rare event. It's not easy for him to enjoy himself, and when he does, he rarely shows it. He is a man of few words. When he speaks, however, he means everything he says. If he says he's sorry, then he truly means that he's apologetic. He's also perfectly able to tell people what they mean to him as well. He could also be considered a little too trusting for his good. He would shoulder your guilt if it meant that you wouldn't have to live through those horrors again. He's very polite, almost formal in his speech and mannerisms, and is not known for having a temper. It's almost like he's impossible to insult. He is loyal to the end, and will stop at nothing to protect what he holds dear to himself.
Nothing he ever does is without purpose, without some cause in mind or belief to back it up. Dealing with his twin brother has shown his near infinite patience. He's continually hopeful that his brother will find peace in the end. He also carries a lot of guilt. Guilt for the fall of his homeland, for abandoning his brother and mother at that time. The guilt for allowing his king to die, not being able to stop it. In the end, Basch is someone who cares unconditionally for those he considers close to him, and will do all he can to protect them.
4) Optional: What is something unique and interesting about them, or what is a fun little tidbit that sets them apart from the crowd?
Basch has an absolutely horrible fashion sense. His friends are nice and won't tell him to his face, though. He really does try to dress himself well, but it fails miserably. This is why he has fashionable friends.
Abilities & Inventory: Basch is an extremely skilled swordsman, and focuses on close range attacks. He is strong, skilled in mounted combat, and archery.
He has several Quickenings, which are like limit breaks (special attacks): Fulminating Darkness, Ruin Impendent, and Flame Purge.
He comes in with his clothing and a sword.

ARMADA SELECTION
While there is an argument that Basch would be a Paladin, I feel like he would fit in more as a Corsair. It's true that there can be arguments for both. Basch is a soldier, he has a strong sense of justice. Both would make him an excellent Paladin. But, throughout canon, Basch follows his friends without word. He joins the resistance. He follows a known pirate. He leans into the criminal concept even suggesting his friends 'kidnap' the princess. While he is a man of honor, he knows how to bend the rules of justice in order to fit this new worldview he has, one that's come from being falsely imprisoned and broken out of jail. He leans into the "kingslayer" that they made him to be, and uses it to restore justice in his own way. (Plus, his friends are there.)
