★Phobias

​
​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.


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


Achluophobia

Bate developed a fear of the dark a few months after the East Nova incident. 
He ended up having bad nightmares that kept him up during the night. Ellie
suggested that having a night light would help calm him down, and for the
most part it's helped. He now prefers to have a small source of light when
he sleeps. If not, he'll be up all night and wind up sleeping during the day.

★Weakness


​Handling weapons

Bate cannot wield a weapon for very long.
He trained in
the field of flight and uses his wings as weapons instead

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

Swimming
​

After Ellie had to fetch her husband from the ocean, she
learned from the now embarrassed Puff that he was unable
to swim. While he's still able to use a floaty,
Bate prefers not
to go near the ocean and instead just watches from afar.
​

★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.


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



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 weary
and 
embarrassed in some cases since he tends to not only cough
and 
wheeze a lot, but has to constantly rest.

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

Picture
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 Peeve​


Being Judged

After making the decision of living in the ever so conservative town
of Kalmari, he's been the victim of abuse and discrimination because 
he wasn't a Squishy

Because of this, many avoid and often shout hurtful slurs when he's around.
When Ellie's parents found out she was marrying an outsider, Bate's patience
nearly reached an end from their hurtful words and views without even getting
to know him first. 

Over the years, many
residents have learned to move on and accept Bate, as well
as any outsider who enters their town. Though, any time someone does confront
Bate, he does have a tendency to be a bit outspoken and snappy from their
crude behavior. ​He often tells them not to judge before getting to
​know him first. 



★Hobbies


Dancing

Bate learned to dance while he was staying at Kalmari Hospital. 
Since Ellie knew how stubborn he is during recovery, she thought 
dancing would be a better option than actual, physical therapy.
Bate ended up enjoying it and he likes to dance when no
one's around, or when he's with Ellie


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


​
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 the hobby and maintains the garden they
​started together ​many decades ago.

★Occupation


Mailman

Bate worked full time as a mailman to help support himself and  Ellie. Being a carrier was also a great
​way for the Puff to meet and greet all the residence of Kalmari Town. Bate was also quite fond of
the fact he is able to fly to each house instead of slowly walking to each one.

★Bio


Bate is a hyper, energetic Puffball who resides in the town of Kalmari. 
He was sent there to recover from his injuries when he was attacked
in his 
home in East Nova. During his stay at the hospital, he met Ellie,
his 
nurse, and unbeknownst to him, his future wife. He was quite hostile 
at first, but through time, Bate learned to slowly drop his guard and 
learned to trust again. After his recovery, Ellie invited him to stay at 
her home, which he gladly accepted. 

Bate spends most of his time with Ellie, though if she's at work, he'll 
spend it with Gordon. Bate currently doesn't know what to do with his 
life at the moment - he doesn't want to go back to the GSA, nor back
 to Central Crux.

​
----------------------------------



(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


​Current

Bate is friendly to those who are friendly to him. Though he was to be in war, 
Bate isn't the type who lusts for fights or blood. With friends, Bate acts very 
foolish and childlike. He isn't the one who tries to pick fights with others; he 
would rather stay away or try to fix the problem instead. Bate is very loyal to 
those who've helped him in the past. He will always be in debt to them and 
will never leave their side.

With Ellie, Bate tends to be quite smug. He loves to tease and annoy her 
when she starts lecturing about his behavior. But in all seriousness, Bate 
is very protective over Ellie. The last thing he ever wants to do is hurt her
 in any way. Bate will do everything and anything to make sure she's 
happy and safe.

There are also times where Bate thinks poorly of himself and ends up 
crying because of it. He puts the blame on himself for the death of his 
close friend and brother. He doesn't consider himself a Star Warrior 
and abandoned the title after both incidents.

★Relationships

​Sir Gordon

Bate's best and overly protective friend. Gorden left the war to stay with
 him after the East Nova incident. When together both are extremely childish. 
They love to practice their fighting skills during their free time or go out drinking,
thanks to Alba. Gordon cherishes the friendship he shares with Bate and will do 
anything in his power to protect him from harms way.
​
​
​
Ellie

Ellie is a Squishy who took care of Bate after she found out her co-worker
 Elliot had been drugging him for the past 2 weeks. She knew how hostile 
Bate was after the incident and tried to gain back some trust by bringing 
him food and talking to him everyday. Both grew very fond of each other 
after some time and hostility had passed. When he was fully recovered, 
Bate asked her if he could make Kalmari his new home.

Ellie invited Bate to stay and live in her home after he was released. The 
pair became inseparable after that. A few years passed, and at the age of 
2,500, Bate proposed to Ellie. Bate is very protective of her and will not 
hesitate to fight if anyone were to hurt her.


​​
​Atler

Atler is Bates first student. Bate took the Koozer under his wing and taught 
him how to improve his flying. He is also the first student to be taught one of 
his strongest moves, The Guardian Wing. Though Atler is seen as a bit of a 
brat towards him, Bate knows how much he cares for him.
​

​

​
Alba

Bate shares a mutual friendship with Alba. He's very thankful that she helped 
heal his wings when they first met. He knows if she didn't, he would've lost 
them due to neglect. Bate is usually seen with Alba when Gordon's around.
​

​

​
Elliot

Even though he was constantly drugged by him, Bate forgave the Squishy and 
wanted to become friends with him. Elliot, however, wants nothing to do with
 Bate. Elliot despises Bate for living in his town and taking Ellie away from him. 

The hostility slowly loosened up when Bate saved Elliot from a demon beast
the day he was supposed to propose to Ellie. Elliot will not admit it, but he
is very grateful that Bate was there to protect him.


​

​
Gordon Jr.

Being around Jr. makes Bate quite uncomfortable. He
feels like he's constantly being followed and it keeps him
on edge whenever he's around.

Bate ended up having odd and quite realistic dreams of 
Jr. trying to hurt and even kill him. Because of this, Bate
had an extremely hard time sleeping unless someone
would be willing to watch over him. 

Many think Bate's being overly paranoid, but there's 
something about Jr. that makes him absolutely terrified.


​

​
Gen. Shieff 

Shieff is Bates old mentor when he used to work in Central Crux. 
Bate 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.




​​​
Lady Atka

Atka is Bates first childhood friend. She currently lives in South Nova, where 
she spends most of her time reading and writing books. Just like with Ellie, Bate 
is extremely protective over her and will attack anyone who tries to hurt her. 
He pays a visit a few times out of the year to make sure she's doing well.




​​
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
been accustomed to having them on. 

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 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 and Ellie
often complains to him about it.

​
-He doesn't prefer the 'Sir' in front of his name.

-The only noticeable damage left from the East Nova 
incident are 3 scars on the back of his left wing.

-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.
