Personality and Abilities (Required)
Personality Traits

• Pushy- The young Banastre is extremely bossy to others. Henry picked this up from all those joyous family moments as well as his time in the Turall school of blades.Where his hot-headed demeanor was often meant with extra training drills and difficult spars and plenty of yelling, giving him something of a desire to do un to others as they did to him. Typically Henry treats everyone with a given respect, and depending on how well they obey his commands that respect meter goes up and down. Along with the difficulty and tendency of his orders.

• Rash- Henry is very rash and things with many things except his rational or logical mind. He was always taught to rely on his instincts and act with hast at the School of Blades. While he developing a calculating nature to help with this, he also grew to rely on his abrupt decision making in other areas of his life. The Banastre is known to speak without thinking in both calm and heated situations. He is very overconfident in his abilities and takes unneeded risks to show off.

• Prideful- The young man has always taken great pride in his skills and himself. However, his pride presents problems for him and his family. He takes great offense at slander or doubt at his ability and skills, seeing his education as some of the best in Regalia. He also enjoys to rub in the times where he does or has proved himself in other's faces as vindication of his superiority.

• Calculating- Henry is a calculating young man with the ability to anaylze well. Trained in the sword, he has the ability to breakdown and analyzes the moves of others before and while in combat. This helps him in his defense and also choosing ways to defeat his enemy although he often chooses the most artful and complex route to go about it. In addition, he uses his calculations and assumptions to mock others in and outside of combat. Though his calculation's are often made in haste on account of his superiority complex and his rash persona, making his calculation's vulnerable to fault of his rushed timing.

• Cunning- Because of his analytical skills, Henry is cunning and a sneaky sort. He enjoys formulating plans or lists on things to do in order to affect others he dislikes, likes or just plain wants to interact with more. He can play to someone else's hands on purpose only to turn the tables when he wants with his attitude. He could also woo and then infiltrate into the social circles of others that this relationship gains him. Though his cunning nature does have it's limit's when pushed to the edge or a tenanted plan take route; typically this will end with his grand scheme failing as Henry draw's his arrogant and tempered tongue.

• Disciplined- Henry is very disciplined and consistent in his routine unless he needs to change it for a major reason. He enjoys to keep himself in form and holds himself to a certain physical as well as moral standard sometimes. He tries to keep himself and his life in order so as to disrupt him and others the least that he can. He also tries to present himself as such to others, so long as they deserve his level of measured first interaction.

Strengths

• Strategist- To Henry, life is but a game, a chess board if you will. Henry plots out moves and such as accord as one would send a knight to capture a pawn. While lacking official experience as a tactician Henry has developed a knack for it from some many bored games in his free time as well as a book on strategy every now and again. While his motive's may vary his end results and desires are always the same, he wants to win. While this strength may not help him from a day to day basis, it is a essential part of political or business discussions, where every move is heard and observed by this young master, just waiting for his checkmate.

• Blade- Spending all that time at Turall did him plenty of good physical wise. Henry's training having built his speed, endurance, and his reflex's makes's him a decent and agile warrior. His primary focus within Turall having been with Arming swords, specifically dual weilding the weapons. Typically when a battle has commenced Henry would rely on his speed and reflex's to parry or dodge in coming attacks while sending a volley of quick blows and slash's at his opponents.

• Devout- Henry is a very devout person, taking great lengths to ensure his plans or beliefs are upheld. The blade isn't very opened minded about subjects and tends to keep his traditions and values with him, as he carries on. Often placing extreme loyalty into a person or moral that has done greatly right by him.

Weaknesses

• Brittle Left arm- As an experienced fighter, having trained and seen much, Henry has sustained several injuries. His left arm has been dislocated and received ligament tears to the muscles. Thus the arm has become brittle and stiff much of the time, it's soreness an issue for him but something he tries to treat as much as he can.

• Hot Headed- This young man sure does have a temper on him. Being derived from his ever so functioning family, he developed a pretty zealous and aggressive life style. While he's not going to cuss or pick fights with strangers on the street for stepping on his shoes, he sure as hell will be as rude as he can be too them, and god help them if they are not of ailor decent either. Referring back to his scale of bossiness, , if that scale drops too low then he starts off with the passive aggressive lines, then to just shade, sass, and finally if that scale drops too low it's gonna end in a cussing or a fight. His temper even goes as far as to cloud his judgement, forcing him to blindly run into situations once his gears are grinned. I mean, who needs to look out for hostile's and traps when you can just rush it on a blind rage?

• Stubborn- There's the wrong way and then there's Henry's way. Once the Banastre has a mindset on something, he's not going to change it. Though he can be open to advice on a occasion or situation he hasn't ever dealt with before. As of now, his ideology follow's roughly in the gray zone between Jingoism and Conservative views. Everything less than that, including but not limited too Liberal ideals, is Jacobinist and heretical. His whole Mule phase is brought to his prideful and devout nature, in his mindset he is right and those views are right; trying to sway him from his standpoints can result in some sassy shade or even a good cussing from time to time.
• Maimed Left Side- Due to a childhood accident involving a hill, a sled, a bunch of rock's, and a tree, well let's just say that the left side of his belly isn't what it used to be. His left side bellow's out a few minor scar's as well as a single left rib that did not heal right. While not inhibiting most of his day to day activities, this wound is severely sensitive. A good strike to it will drop the Blade to his knee's with tears in his eye's, or even during heavy sigh's of fatigue the pain will score across his body.

Life Story (Required)

In the year 281 A.C Kathrin and Alcott Banastre were blessed by the Spirit with there first child, frail and pale child whom they named Henry. The infants few months were filled with fear and regret as there was no guaranty that the boy would survive his first year, but as another blessing he did. His first four years were spent with his mother as his father was away a lot of the time on family business. Around his six birthday he was given a tutor who taught him Common and remnants of Alt-Regalish; While a additional tutor was hired to visit soly on the weekends for military schooling, just in case the boy would have a future of honor and glory.

As a complete surprise Henry scored a Heere on his exam after his fourteenth birthday, but alas his family may have been well off on commoner standards, but not nearly being as wealthy to afford a child being sent to the Virdian Order. Young Henry was disappointed, and began begging and pleading for days on in. Eventually his family caved and recieved a loan for Henry to go. The young adult traveled to the Crown Isle and began his training.

Henry sat back and watched for a long time as Beric destroyed what little finances the family had left and left the Banastre's nearly penny less. Having had enough of his cousin's blunders Henry cast the die as he went to the ghetto-ed poor district and hired a few thugs under the alias of Banastre house guards and stormed into the family shop one quiet Sunday morning as the majority of the district was attending mass. Henry relished at the surprised look on his cousin's face as he ordered his men to assault. The fighting in the shop lasted for roughly three hours before his cousin was secure, along with the rest of the shop's employees. Henry took this moment a moment and secured what family assets he could obtain before his now despised older cousin Evon entered with a thug of his own. Originally supporting Henry in his plan Evon went with him up to where Beric was being held until Evon drew his weapon at Henry and tried to usurp the usurper. Henry by this point already being fatigued and injured ordered what was left of his men to capture Evon, which they did but the thug managed to get the jump on Henry while Beric and the rest of them managed to break free of there bindings and fight his men.

When Henry awoke he was all alone, his reputation gone as well as any assets he had. While his family came together as one to work together on there financial crisis he took part but had no real voice. In the coming weeks they brain stormed new idea's for employment, and how to enter politics. Eventually with closed relationships with High Noble, they managed to secure a ship and gain some notoriety in the city. With trust slowly beginning to return to him, Henry enlisted in the Bronze Halberd Society and began his training to enforce holy law up till he was transferred to the Violet Order. As of right now Henry's still doing his duty with his family and maintaining a pretty decent record in the Vladirine Chapter, but his mindset has shifted to the on coming war to which he has began to beef up his training regiments.

After awhile things ran smoothly, however his eldest brother passed away. Leaving the family to the hands of his middle brother Marcel. While no political genius, he fared much better than Beric and Henry held the County of Turolia briefly under this period. However fortune did not last, the Lo Occupation had begun. Henry moved around, eventually siding with the Organized resistance under Christopher Black. After the battle that followed, Henry was astonished at the horror the Deathlings had done to the Viridian Castle. He didn't stay for any trials, simply packing up his bags and leaving for Vultaro, where he aided the Inquisition in hunting down Heretics up till this point.
