Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Gaius took his time responding. He slowly drained his glass of bourbon and considered the ice that remained. How best to respond? The internal struggle that played out on his face...

full name.  Gaius van Baelsar pronunciation. Guy-us van ballsack? nicknames.  Do not try to give this man any nicknames it will end badly. height. 6′6″ - 6′9″ (I honestly don’t know) age. 57 zodiac. N/A languages. Garlean, Eorzean, likely a couple of other languages relating to the territories he’s conquered.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS.

Since the fall of Castrum Meridianum? Second-and-third degree burn scars over much of his body. His helmet saved his face, at least. There are other scars that have since been obscured by the burns. tattoos.  None most noticeable features.   His third eye, his commanding presence. If you’re an Ascian: the gunblade in his hand.

CHILDHOOD.

place of birth.  Somewhere in Ilsabard. He doesn’t talk about it, and he was born about 7 years before the Empire was founded. hometown. ??? birth weight / height.  ??? manner of birth.  “I hatched.” first words.  “Why is this important?” siblings.  None. parents.  Dead. parental involvement. Full. He was raised by both parents, with his father being involved in the military.

ADULT LIFE

occupation.  Legatus. current residence.  None, wandering. close friends.  THEY’RE DEAD. relationship status. N/A financial status.  He has nothing. The clothes on his back, his gunblade, his life, and that thirst for revenge. driver’s license.  Gaius can operate various war machina. criminal record.  None. vices.  Hard liquor, the occasional cigarette or cigarillo.

SEX & ROMANCE.

sexual orientation.  Bisexual. romantic orientation. ^ preferred emotional role.  submissive | dominant | switch  |  unsure > He’s never been very good with emotion in the romantic sense. preferred sexual role.  submissive  |  dominant  > When he does get the inclination, it’s usually in a fit of frustration as his libido finally gets to a point where he can’t ignore it. It’s go hard or go home at that stage. |  switch  |  sex repulsed | likes to fight for dominance if with a larger, stronger partner libido. high, though he can ignore it for a good, long while. turn ons. Strong-willed, independent sorts. Being teased (in public AND private). Partners that adhere to societal expectations in public while doing anything but in private. Battle. Gaius flatly states: “The sound of my own voice, according to some former subordinates.” turn offs. “It would be far simpler to state what does not.” love language. A mixture of physical touch and acts of service. relationship tendencies.  Before everything went to hell he tended toward casual relationships that were heavy on sex and light on everything else. His career didn’t allow him much time for what he called “such frivolities”, and the rare time that Feelings started to crop up he’d cut things off. Good work, Legatus.

MISCELLANEOUS.

character’s theme song.  Who Made Who and/or Back in Black, AC/DC hobbies to pass the time.  A lot of reading. mental illnesses. PTSD relating to Meridianum, most likely. physical illnesses. There are/were complications relating to the severe burns, he’s still healing and he will be for some time. Infections happen that leave him out of commission for weeks at a time (or that should, but he just fights through it all), and he’s never not in some kind of pain. left or right brained. fears. More failure. self confidence level.  It... depends on the day. His self confidence was pretty much unshakable before his fall, and he’s confident in his abilities against the Ascians... but that took a fair bit of work. Sometimes, though, he’s reminded of his failures and it takes him into some pretty dark places. vulnerabilities. His recklessness, his desire for vengeance.
