Basic Information (Required)
Since young age, Bastien has had to learn to master the art of combat. He was trained by his Uncle, Natasha's father, and his family's Sergeants. Since this time he has been prepared and equipped to lead the La tempête née, The Stormborn. At the mere age of Sixteen, he was granted the position Captain of the Guard, and he helped to defend the many members of his family.
When he was seventeen, Bastien had a heart for true adventure. He summoned a small company of his men, and had plans on exploring Aloria, starting his quest for fame young. But right after they departed from Vixhall their ship was caught in a horrid storm, the next morning only half of his men were with him, washed up on a remote island. They had no clue of where they were, and for eight years he was trapped there, watching as two of his loyal men died of starvation, and frostbite. Finally, a passing cargo ship heading for Regalia rescued him and his lot, and agreed to take them with the cargo to Regalia.
When Bastien arrived, he was then 25, and still ready to continue what he had set out to do. He learned that his cousin Natasha was the matriarch of his family there in Regalia, and he was already interested in helping his family out. He then was reinstated the position of Captain of the Guard. He recruited and organized nearly twenty-five house guards. When the Nordmark's conflict came into play. Bastien at first had plans of assisting them, as he felt this would be an opportunity to become achieve power, and win a name for himself. Though with the Nordmark making plans to surrender, he quickly withdrew such plots, and went to again, side with the Empire. Due to playing it the way he did, he was able to escape political harm in the end, and shut down those that believed him to be a traitor.
He recently has joined several members of his family in the Vigilant Shield, and wishes to befriend the Howlesters as his cousin did. He has also been appointed the position as Patriarch of his family in Regalia. He intends on restoring his family nobility there in Regalia, as it was recently lost.
Bastien is the oldest of Seven: That order being Bastien, Enzo, Lydia, Adeline, Wilfrid, Nadia, and then Yvette. Bastien is a member of House Celyreos. This family is of noble status and hails from Vixhall, they are highly wealthy due to their production of weaponry. They are also landowners that would be able to receive income from those living under their protection. For these reasons, House Celyreos is able to equip and raise levies as well. Bastien was appointed Captain of the Guard at such a young age for a few reasons: He was close in age with Natasha and grew up closer to the First Line than the second. Natasha's Father put a lot of time into Bastien teaching him everything he knew about combat and managing an army. He believed Bastien was ready to maintain such a position at that age, it was also a good way to test what he knew.

- Weapon of Choice: Bastard Sword and Heater Shield. No Combat school, just a lot of experience and his training had a lot of Lecgaen, Tenpenny, and Viridian influence from young age. He never attended any of these combat schools. He learned some tactics and trained with weapons related to the schools. For example: Bastard Sword, Heater Shield > Viridian. Pike, Heater shield, and various swords > Tenpenny. And unarmed fighting > Lecgaen. Therefore, he would have never lived at the castle and did not start at fourteen. He was mentored by private family tutors, specifically members of their House Guard that were capable warriors and knew methods of these Combat Schools. (I hope that clarifies better.)
Skill Information: Bastien is capable in combat, especially skilled with a Bastard Sword and Heater shield. Though he also thrives with a pike, and in unarmed fighting. Bastien also is a great leader, especially when it comes instructing troops. Bastien also is skilled socially, as he isn't afraid to get out and talk to people. He can even be diplomatic at times. Due to living on a remote island for eight years, Bastien has also gained some survival methods that could prove useful. Such as knowing how to create a fire, how to make basic weapons out of raw materials, such as a bow, spear, and javelin. Bastien also learned how to skin and cook rabbits, deer, and wolves. This making Bastien a standard hunter, and tracker, and a fairly experienced survivalist.
Personality and Abilities:
Bastien is often very affected by other people, and can tend to be emotional. He has a good heart as times, but he can also be aggressive and vicious when he needs to be. He will respond to meeting strangers for the first time depending on how he is feeling at the time. Though he often tries his hardest to give everyone a chance. If someone were to hear of Bastien and not see meet him in person this would likely be because of his house's fame rather than his own. Though, it could also be of his previous exploits and the events he took part in, which would mean they would take note of his skill in combat, and in leading the small force that he did. They may also think of Bastien as untrustworthy, due to the events during the Nordmark, and may question his loyalty. If met in person, it would depend on Bastien's attitude of course. He can tend to be a stubborn and rude man at times, though overall, he tries to give everyone a chance and meet them with the respect they deserve, and show them kindness.
Bastien relies a lot of other people, especially close friends and family. If it weren't for them he wouldn't be who he is. He is a family person and doesn't enjoy working individually on much. He wishes to go up every step in life with those he holds dearest, he desires them to be well protected, and taken care of over everything. Though he appreciates his family's support, Bastien also has self-motivations that he wishes to achieve, which also means he can be self-confident and independent when he has to be. But this is rather rare. He has the ultimate mind of a soldier, as he has had to act as one for a large portion of his life. He has also learned to be a leader, and how to think in other people's shoes. He can at times get depressed, this can affect his attitude around others.
Around family and close friends, along with lovers, Bastien tends to open up a bit, as he is indeed more comfortable. If you can really enter Bastien's heart you can discover all of his secrets, and his opinions on whatever the topic. He will show you a different side of himself that those that don't know him, or don't know him well enough have not seen. Bastien has always acted in such a way, it is merely his nature and how he was raised. His father was an intelligent man but often stayed in his office at work, while his mother tended to be more social, she taught him how to behave around people and that over all things, he should trust family first. Concerning friends, Bastien over a long period of time will begin to treat close friends as he would family, therefore trusting them about the same. Though if he were forced to choose between a family member and a close friend, due to what he's been taught all of his life, family would need to come first. With lovers, Bastien has no issue with bending the law a bit, and having multiple lovers. Though this has always been kept a secret and as he wishes to keep his body in one peace he'll never reveal the secret. Bastien craves attention from as many beautiful females he can get. Though he is not a true fool, and doesn't always fully trust them. With family, they will always come first and he trusts them entirely, unless of course they have betrayed his trust in the past, or if he suspects them to do so.
Bastien would lie more neutral. He is very opinionated on several topics. He can be cruel at times, especially with those that have terribly wronged him. But in his mind, this is merely justice. He will defend what he believes to be right, and he will not tolerate those that wish to sink his beliefs. He also can be kind, and generous with those he believes deserve it. He thinks himself an honest judge of character.
