Character Name: Bayard "Bay" William Deveraux
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Birthdate: February 22, 1400
City / Region: Borderlaix/Faucheux
House [ Birth, Marriage if applicable]: Deveraux
Played by [ please link an image here ]: Alex Pettyfer
Appearance [ please provide a text-based description of their looks, preferred clothing and shoes ]: Bayard is 6'2 with broad shoulders and well muscled arms. He's a bit more slender than his older brother but still very fit. His hair is golden blond with a shaggy wave to it because he dislikes short hair but he gets it cut before it gets too long (and usually at his father's urging). His eyes are more a bluish-green than pure blue like his siblings, he has high cheekbones and full lips.
His preferred clothing style is grey pants and either a deep blue, deep green, or violet shirt made of soft linen and black boots. His only jewelery is an amethyst and gold ring that was given to him on his eighteenth birthday (amethyst being his birthstone).
Specific Skills or Abilities: Poet, skilled courtier, fine dancer. Also a master of horsemanship and the sword. Also particularly good at climbing trees( a skill he picked up in childhood).
Personality: A more in-depth look at what makes this character tick. Please include character ambitions, goals, virtues/flaws. Once you've finished this, we suggest that you reach out to players of your character's family members and have them read it, the better to help establish family relationships - this is especially important for characters who have siblings or parents in play!
Bayard is an easy-going man with an infectious sense of humor and a love of life no matter where he goes. He is close to his sisters and usually stands as a buffer (and sometimes protector) between them and Pascale. He thrives on experiences. He makes friends easily and is very dependable. While he adores Pascale he doesn't understand why he's wound so tightly, though he does understand his brother's need to be responsible considering his position of Henri's heir. Bayard doesn't know what he wants out of life yet but he knows he has to figure it out soon. He knows he's expected to make a good match to strengthen the family's fortunes but the thought of taking a wife at this time scares the hell out of him.
Virtues - compassionate, honest, loyal, and a protector of anyone whom he feels is being abused.
Flaws - unfocused in regards to the future, can sometimes be easily distracted (especially by a pretty lady, though he's nowhere near as bad as Nicholas Remington), too often feels restless
Background: A minimum 2 - 3 paragraphs that substantiates the personality along with any skills or talents, and gives us an idea of how this character has grown into who they are right now. Please note - if this character holds a high rank or significant position, more detail is preferred! Also, please incorporate family relationships into your background, especially if the siblings are in play.
Bayard was nearly three years after his brother Pascale and from the start it was obvious that he would take after his mother. He was a happy baby who rarely cried and always seemed to smile. As a child he quite often got into mischief that caused his father Henri no end of irritation. He couldn't help it though, for he had inherited his mother's love of life and exuberance.
As he grew he didn't understand Pascale's seriousness. All he knew was that he and his brother were very different. He was a great student though he despised lessons while Pascale enjoyed them.
When he was three his sister Evony was born and he adored her from his first sight of her. She was so tiny! She adored him too and they were very close. Five years after that his sister Nathalie arrived and he adored her too. He loved his sisters and was always there for them.
His love of life and adventure never diminished as he grew and he and his brother clash often. Now that they've returned to Bordelaix Pascale will be taking over the running of the estate and holdings while Henri returns to his ambassadorship. This has now forced Bay to start contemplating what he wants to do in life, for his family's benefit and his own.
WRITING SAMPLE:
Evony gave herself one last glance in the mirror before she left her room. Her maid had outdone herself in helping her to prepare for this evening. She should remember to give the girl a bonus. Dressed in a gown of deep blue silk edged with ivory lace at the cuffs and sweetheart neckline. A thin silver belt settled on her hips to better show off their curves. Her blonde hair was held back from her face by silver and sapphire combs on each side, leaving the rest of her tresses to fall in soft waves to her shoulders and both her earrings and pendant matched the combs.
She left the room and went to Kathryn's. Pascale had said he'd wait for her outside the feast room and she had no idea where her father or other siblings were. Knocking upon the door she called softly. "Red? Are you in there?" Kathryn would know who it was; no one else called her "Red", not even her brother.
