★Phobia

​
​Merinthophobia


After an incident in East Nova, Bate is completely petrified of being
 bound or confined. Something as simple as getting tangled by rope 
or being hugged will cause him to panic and flip out.
​

★Weakness


​Handling weapons

Because Bate relies on brute strength and his wings when fighting, he rarely
wields weapons. He's only done so a handful of times and isn't the best
when it comes to battling with them. Bate can last for a few minutes at
best before easily being disarmed.

​
---------------------------------------------------


Swimming
​

After Meta invited him to the beach to go swimming, all 5 students
found out Bate's 
secret inability to swim. He never learned growing
up, and any time he does go into the water he ends up sinking. Even
with a floaty, he prefers to avoid any sort of body of water in fear of
​drowning. ​​

★Health


​Asthma

During his days in East and Central, Bate was diagnosed with asthma when
he'd had to go to the hospital due to trouble breathing. It was revealed that
the polluted air from both Central Crux and East Nova was greatly effecting
his health. Bate, not wanting to leave his family behind, stayed and wore a
respirator throughout his entire adolescence. While it did do a good job
filtering any debris, there were days where it didn't help and caused the
Puff to become gravely ill.

Since moving to Kalmari Town, Bate doesn't have much of an issue
unless he breathes in any dust, smoke, or debris that triggers it.
Usually the only time it gets really severe is during the winter/cold
season, since everyone uses their fireplace to keep warm. Bate prefers
to travel to South Nova for a few days during this time since he loves
being out in the cold and snow.

Bate also does his best to keep his house extremely clean and can be
a bit strict when Meta and the others don't tend to the house while
living with him.



---------------------------------------------------



Accelerated Silicosis

Bate ended up getting his ailment at quite a young age, and it has
greatly impacted his life in several ways. Because of it, this has caused
him to become quite weary and embarrassed in
some cases since he
tends to not only cough and 
wheeze a lot, but has to constantly rest and
turn down his 
students' requests to play with them. 

In worse cases, he ends up coughing up blood and must be bed-bound
or even hospitalized for several days until he's better. Bate later 
reveals to Gordon that he absolutely hates living like this, but
ends up accepting his way of life when his other friends
​consulted him.



★Pet Peeve​s


​​Constant Nagging and Pity

This is mostly directed towards Gordon. Bate finds it irritating and mildly frustrating 
when Gordon becomes overly protective with is well-being. Gordon will not let him 
do anything if he thinks it could severely injure him. If Bate disobeys and ends up 
hurting himself, Gordon will go on hour-long rants and start lecturing him until 
Bate apologizes for not listening. He doesn't see his actions as being helpful
at certain times, especially if it's something extremely petty, and finds it a
form of belittlement. While he is grateful that he has a friend looking out
for him, there ​are days where Gordon can get a bit overboard
​and overly dramatic.

★Bio


(Present)

While Bate prefers to live a peaceful, quiet life, his new students are making it quite
difficult to achieve such a thing.  Previously retired, he currently holds classes to teach
any winged 
creature in Kalmari how to fly. So far, only a few have been taught under him.
He is extremely  
strict during class hours and hates to be interrupted.

When classes aren't in session, 
Bate spends most of his free time resting and has a short
temper when woken. When he is not sleeping, Bate loves to fly and cloud/star gaze. When
it comes  to any type of fighting, Bate tries his best to avoid it. He hates confrontation and
​
will only show some type of strength if he's in trouble.

​
----------------------------------



(Childhood)

Bate was brought up by a mother Birdon that found him while she was migrating to
 East Nova. While staying with her, Bate was taught how to fly and perform basic 
fighting techniques with the use of his wings. As he grew older, Bate returned 
the favor by watching over her (and her newly hatched chick) every night. During 
the day, Bate would visit Central Crux and work in an apprenticeship to make 
masks for the GSA. In his free time, he would travel back to East Nova 
to teach the hatching how to fly.

At the age of 2,100, Bate flew to North Nova to join and train under the GSA. 
Even though the training left him exhausted at the end of each day, Bate still
 kept his promise and watched over his family. The night before bate was to
depart, a group of hunters ambushed his home and attacked them. Bate 
tried his best to fight back, but was slowly overpowered and defeated in the 
end. As a result, he was unable to fight in the war and was left behind to 
recover from his injuries in West Nova. Bate has not heard from his childhood
 family nor paid a visit to East Nova after the incident. He has, however, heard
that the residents of East Nova spotted 
a lone bird leave its nest
and that it has yet to return.

★PersonalitY


Bate has a more serious personality than everyone else. He likes things
 to be orderly and will get angry if that balance is disturbed. He is also
​very stubborn and refuses any type of help even if he needs it

★Relationships

​5 Puffballs

Bate was the first teacher of the 5 puffballs: Arthur, Dragato, Falspar, 
Meta and Nonsurat. He taught them how to fly, and ended up taking 
Meta and Arthur as apprentices to broaden their wing capability. 
​
​

​

​Sir Gordon

Gordon is Bate's closest friend. Even though Bate claims that the Gordo is 
annoying and over protective half the time, he's very grateful that he has 
someone like him who understands and cares about him. They both share 
a house in Kalmari, and are usually seen together when they aren't teaching.



​
​
Sir Ramset

Bate and Ramset didn't see eye to eye when they first met. Bate found
 Ramset very annoying and refused to pay any attention to him. The 
hot-headed Sasuke refused to be treated in such a manner. Because of 
it, he ended up throwing a smoke bomb at Bate, hoping to startle the 
Puffball. Unfortunately, Ramset didn't know about Bate's ailments before
 he chucked the bomb. Bate ended up having an asthma attack after
inhaling the smoke and was taken to the hospital. 

A few weeks passed before Ramset eventually apologized to Bate. He 
admitted that he never wanted to hurt him and that he only wanted 
to be his friend. Bate accepted his apology and decided to give him 
another chance. Bate still finds him irritating from time to time,
 but learned to accept the Sasuke's crude behavior as a 
sign of appreciation.



​​
​Atka

Atka is a very wise Sphere Doomer who lives in South Nova. She is Bate's first
childhood friend, and both share 
a close, strong friendship. Atka will do anything
to help Bate 
and vice versa. He visits her from time to time to see how she's doing
​(usually on her birthday).

​



​​
Gen. Shieff 

Shieff is Bates old mentor when he used to work in Central Crux. 
He was taught how make masks for the GSA under him at the 
age of 1,400. Bate looks up to him and will always trust 
what he says.
​

​
​

​​
​Suna

Suna is the adoptive mother of Bate. She found him in South 
Nova during a blizzard and took him to stay with her in East 
Nova. She taught Bate how to fly and to fight using his wings. 
Bate loves his mom with all his heart and will do anything to 
protect her.


​


​

Ton

Ton is the younger brother of Bate and Suna's biological son. 
Both share an extremly close bond and Bate takes pride in training
is younger brother how to fly and fight. When their family was attacked,
the little Birdon tried to fight back (against Bate's orders) and ended up 
getting killed in the process. Bate doesn't like to talk about his

 adoptive family to anyone - not Gordon, Ellie, or even Atka.




​​
Luna

Luna and Bate worked together in Central Crux making masks and
other various objects for the war. Both of them became fast friends
and loved to hang out during their breaks. As the years passed by and
Bate decided to join the war, he made a promise to his childhood friend 
that he will return and find a place away from Central so they could
both live together. Although Bate only saw her as a friend, Luna
​had a secret crush on the young Puff. ​



★Pauldrons

Picture

Bate received his pauldrons from his mother, Suna, as a gift when he informed her that he was joining
the GSA. A bit big for him growing up, he finally grew into them at a later age and now wears them along
with the mask he received from Luna. Although Bate never utilized them in war, he still wears them as he’s
accustomed to having them on. They are extremely heavy due to their size to the point where many of his
students who were told to fetch them for Bate complained they’re unable to lift or even budge them. Gordon
often suggests that Bate should stop wearing them due to their weight and the amount of strength it takes to
​support them. Bate, however, doesn’t have an issue with their weight and continues to wear them regardless.

Bate also stashes a variety of items under them as they’re quite spacious underneath. His more important
items like his keys, money, and glasses are under his left pauldron, while his right one has a plethora
of various, miscellaneous goods. If one of his friends or students are looking for a certain item, chances
are that Bate’s probably carrying it. Due to the elder having just about everything stored under his
armor, many see him as a walking cupboard.

★Other


​-He snores loudly.

-He says he's not fond of candy
or sweets, but can be seen from time
to time nibbling on chocolate.
​

-Bate considers himself more like a bird than a 
puffball since he was raised by a bird.

-He hoards many items under his pauldrons.

-Bate was taught a second language by his
mother. He is fluent in understanding and
speaking the language of birds.

-When angered, Bate will tend to swap
languages 
and chirp at times when he's yelling.

-Being born in South Nova, Bate can endure 
being out in freezing temperatures.
