Character Application




Name: Bertran Adelsheim

Age: 21

Height: 6'1" ft

Gender: Male

Job: Chronicler

Class: Gunslinger

Synth Item: Log book

Weapon: The Minstrel "Storyteller": Classic Shotgun (He owns four but he often brings only one of them.)

Personality:
Bertran is a reserved man who rarely does any outbursts. He has quite a short temper but he does his best to control his anger. Although when he is beyond pissed redeeming his patience, he won't hesitate to shoot you with his high caliber shotgun. He rarely likes to talk unless in an intellectual coversation... other than complaining or ranting. He is quite blunt and sarcastic with his words and doesn't mind if he offends anyone with his "honesty". He hates biases and most of all, liars. He is a natural shut-in who despises leaving his room since he likes reading books rather than go outside for an adventure. He is usually forced out of his room so he can do his job. He also usually likes to be neutral with everything and not become closer to anyone other than mere acquaintances.

After all, he is the "omniscient narrator" of The Embassy's adventures. When the crew is in an adventure, he would stay in the background and watch over the turn of events that he will write down on his log book. Since he "will only write down history and not partake in it", he won't jump in to save the crew if they are danger unless he couldn't take it anymore.

Despite him being indifferent towards the crew, sometimes (close to never) he couldn't help but be concerned towards their welfare. He has a.... fatherly side to him.


Background:
Bertran was born into a family of scholars from his father's side. Ever since he was little, he wanted to become a great scholar like both his grandfather and his dad. He had always looked up to them and would often engage in intellectual conversations on par with them. It surprised them both with how smart the boy was even at such a young age. The mother is also happy to know her son is growing up to be a wonderful smart young man. She would often cook for the three scholars and she enjoyed doing so. Despite her being the perfect and wonderful house mom and wife, it wasn't her only highlight since she's also a top-notch gunner. Bertran's high class skill in shooting and using guns came from his mom which took years of mastering. Basically, Bertran had a happy life with his family... until his dad left. When the boy reached the age of 10, the infection of the world tree has come to its peak and many people were starting to panic. The father aspired to be a chronicler for his own ambitions, wanting to see this world catastrophe with his own eyes and record it with his own hand so he left the home without saying good bye... only leaving a letter.

"I will come back soon so good byes are unnecessary. Best wishes to my dear loved ones.
P.S. Honey, I want to have chicken stew for dinner, alright? "


The rest of the family worried everyday and prayed for the father's safety and return... and also had chicken stew for dinner. This went on for 5 years. Out of frustration, the mom packed her stuff and brought with her her best guns so she can look for her husband. It was really painful for her to leave the two men of the house behind as she gave them a kiss and hug good bye. She promised the boy she will come back with the father and asked him to promise her something.

"Continue practicing and taking care of granpapa even if I'm not around, okay? And hey... don't give me that frown, aren't you getting sick of my chicken stew?"

"Even so, I don't want you to go. I'd rather have chicken stew for the rest of my life."

"Aww... you'll get sick of it again once I get back with papa. Hee hee. I love you a lot, sweet pea."

"I love you too, mom."


The boy kept his promise and went on living with his grandfather for 3 more years and casually enjoyed their intellectual conversations and teachings together until the grandfather's health failed him as he suffered a heart attack. The old man survived the worst of it but it was told he won't last another week. In those short days of spending the remaining time the old man had, the boy took care of him tirelessly and even got to enjoy their last chess play. On the grandfather's death bed, the old man passed down all his books, wealth, and treasured belongings to his grandson. When the boy held the old man's hand gently yet firmly, promising he will truly become a great scholar just like him and his father the old man closed his eyes for the last time.

For another 3 years of living peacefully yet alone, Bertran had indeed come to become a scholar that he had promised to become. Although no satisfaction came to it since the people he promised to are no longer here. His mundane and boring everyday life was broken on one fateful night where he wanted to drink in the pub. The entire village where he lives in was attacked and raided by pirates. By a twist of fate it happens the infamous Air Junkies who pilot a ship called "The Embassy" was also in the village to stay. After a night of chaos and turmoil... with a mix of drunk junkies and pirates. To Bertran's surprise, he found himself on board "The Embassy".

And thus.... the adventure begins.


Trivia:
- Bertran means "Famous Raven".
- Strange enough.... it seems his log book never runs out of paper despite it not being so thick.
- His interest to become a chronicler came to be when he was on board the Embassy. He has always been fond of studying history... so what would it be like if he wrote history? He wanted to understand what sparked his father's passion to write history in the making... that made him leave in the first place.
- The earing on his left ear belonged to his mother.
- Despite him having such a slender frame (expected from a bookworm/shut-in), he can shoot a heavy shotgun with just one hand.
- There is also a reason why he likes staying in the background, he can't fight well in close quarters and his only means of protecting himself is his shotgun.
- Bertran is my oldest OC to date.
- NEVER EVER MESS WITH HIS LOG BOOK IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE.
