Warp Star In Guardian of the Stars Arc
Having realized the existence of the children he never knew and with the love from his family and friends,
Bate made a promise to move on from his past and start a new chapter in his life. It's later revealed that Ellie
and Elliot healed the crack on his Warp Star, causing several changes in Bate's appearance in the hopes he'll see
it as a reminder to never look back.
★Void
Waking up in South Nova's Place of Healing, the endless petals falling from a large
plum tree that resides there took the form of Bate's Celestial Void.
★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
Weapon Handling
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
discovered 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 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 affecting
his health. Bate, not wanting to leave his family behind, stayed and wore a
respirator throughout his entire adolescence. While it did 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's symptoms did not show until he was already married and
living with Ellie in Kalmari. 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 wary
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.
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 Gordon, Ellie, and his
other friends consult him.
★Abilities
The Guardian Wing
One of Bate's strongest moves. By focusing and charging energy in his wings,
Bate can release it in the form of a powerful beam. If used correctly, it can
be strong enough to slice a boulder in half from a far away distance. The
major drawback to this attack is that Bate can get very sick from using it.
It takes far too much energy, and if used, Bate will likely collapse from
over-exertion. He rarely uses this attack anymore because of it.
----------------------------------
Electricity
Bate has the ability to wield electricity. It's not as powerful
as his other attack - it can usually just stun an opponent for a
minute or so. He was taught how to use this attack by his mentor.

★Pet Peeves
Constant Nagging and Pity
This is mostly directed towards Gordon. Bate finds it irritating and mildly frustrating
when Gordon becomes overly protective with his 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
he 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.
★Hobbies
Dancing
It was something Bate greatly enjoyed in the past, but after Ellie's death, no
one has seen him dance again. As far as anyone's concerned, it's a dead hobby.
Bate keeps it a secret, but he still dances from time to time. He usually dances
when no one's occupying his home. (Mostly when he's sweeping
around the house.)
----------------------------------
Gardening
Bate got into gardening once he and Ellie had settled into their new home. They
have a small garden on the side of their home and raised various flowers and several
vegetables. To this day, Bate still enjoys this hobby and maintains the garden they
started together many decades ago.
After Atticus was born, the elder spends his free time helping the
small Leo tend to his various garden beds throughout Kalmari.
★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 very 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 have spotted a lone bird leave its nest
and that it has yet to return.
★PersonalitY
Current
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
**Bate may not admit it, but he's a total teddy bear when it comes
to his students. He's very protective, and on rare occasions,
can be seen acting a bit childish.
---------------------------------------------------
After Ellie and Atler's Death
Bate became very bitter and shunned everyone. He refused to talk or
associate with anyone in Kalmari. He gained an extremely short temper
and would even attack if someone were to anger him in any way. Many
labeled Bate as dangerous, and residents warned others to keep their
distance from him. Because of this incident, Bate rarely talks to others
and would prefer to stay quiet.
---------------------------------------------------
When Meta, ect arrived
A sense of purpose was brought back to Bate when five certain
puffballs arrived in Kalmari. The need to protect slowly replaced
the deep bitterness that had been defining him for years. Many
years will pass, but Bate is learning to leave the past behind
him. He now knows that he has to move on and start a
new chapter in his life.
★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.
Unfortunately, Bate had to send Meta off to train with Gordon since
he knew the Puffball was more suited in the field of weaponry. All five
get along with him quite well, but Meta's the only one who's usually
seen talking and spending time with him out of class.

Meta
Meta is absolutely fond of the older Puff and loves to play, hang out, and
spend time with him. When Bate ended up taking the young child under
his wing, neither could be seen without the other. Meta is extremely clingy
towards the old warrior, while Bate is very protective over him. They share
a typical father-son relationship, and many of the residents see them
as such. Meta still refers to him as "Teacher" however, and
rarely calls him anything else.

Sir Gordon
Gordon is Bate's closest friend, and both see one another like
brothers. Gordon is very protective over Bate and can be a bit
overbearing at times when it comes to his sensitive health.
He never leaves his side when he falls ill and tends to lecture him if he
skips his appointments. Bate finds Gordon's "motherly" side a bit frustrating
to deal with at times, but he knows it's only because he cares for his well-being.
There aren't many friends who'll sacrifice so much for someone, and Bate knows
Gordon is one in a million. In his eyes, he's truly the greatest friend you'll ever have.
**After the death of Ellie, Gordon moved in with Bate to watch over him. They
currently still live together with several of their students and hold classes
with each other often.

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.

Ellie
Ellie is a Squishy that Bate had a crush on when he was younger.
At the age of 2,500 Bate proposed to her and became Ellie's loving
husband. Unfortunately, she passed away, and for some odd reason
Bate doesn't like to speak about her anymore. He has an very short
temper when someone mentions her in front of him.
The Bird and The Squid Arc
At the end of The Bird and The Squid, Bate pulls out an old, ripped photo of Ellie holding what
seems to be a young infant, with Elliot by her side. Bate harbored many bitter feelings from the
supposed betrayal and claimed there was no such thing as true love since Ellie left him for another.
The Guardian of the Stars Arc
After a near death experience, Bate meets the love of his life once more as she, unbeknownst to
him, stalls time so his Warp Star could heal. After receiving a kiss from her, Bate gets flustered
and asks why she did such a thing. When she says it was because she loves him, Bate rejects her
feelings and says he knows she cheated on him with Elliot. Ellie starts giggling from her husband's
foolish accusation and leads him to another area where she reveals the child she was holding was
actually his, not Elliot's. With twins nestled in her arms, she hands them off to Bate where he meets
his children for the first time. Once Bate's Warp Star is completely healed and Ellie reveals it's time to
say goodbye once more, he embraces her one last time before they part ways. As much as he wants
to stay, his past family convinces him to keep living to honor their memory.
Knowing the truth behind the photo, Bate's bitterness completely resolves towards Ellie. He
will never forget the time they spent together and promises to live his life with his second
family without ever looking back.

Atler
A young, orphaned Koozer that Bate and Ellie took under their wing
after he was found injured on Kalmari Beach. Once recovered, Bate
decided to train him as his first student. He trained Atler not only how
to fly at incredible speed, but also how to attack and defend himself
with his wings. As the years passed by, Atler began to see him as a
father figure, and Bate ended up adopting him after the
unfortunate passing of Ellie.
After an unknown incident that left Atler dead in Kalmari Forest, Bate lost
touch with the world around him and shunned everyone in Kalmari. He
never talks about Atler openly to anyone as the loss of his son greatly
affected him. He did visit his grave from time to time, but eventually
stopped since it was too painful.

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).
*It's later revealed in "The Bird and The Knight" that Atka is, in fact, Bate's
Guardian. She kept it a secret since she saw herself as a very poor, selfish
Guardian towards Bate. Like her master, both have accepted their title
back and, thanks to Meta, now share a closer bond than ever before.

Gen. Shieff
Shieff is Bate's former mentor when he used to work in Central Crux.
Bate learned how to 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
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 since
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 were 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 since 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 he'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 gave up drinking after Ellie's death,
but will bend said rule on special occasions.
-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.
