Personality: 

Bio: Born to a pair of Caldegian knights, Barst was trained in his parents' proficient fields from a young age: Archery and Pegasus riding. His parents were pleased with his proficiency in both fields, and his fighting style shows his training. Although he is far from unique in the Caldegian military, his position as a Pegasus archer makes him uniquely valuable. He joined the military at 16, distinguishing himself as a skilled marksman on the ground and in the air, though he always maintained a standard cavalryman's position. At 20 he was promoted to a squad leader position, training to eventually become the commander of his platoon. When Vinsenia's invasion began, Barst's unit found itself defending a strategic hold in the heart of the nation. Routed easily by their enemy, the members of the platoon who survived were captured. 

Finding themselves as prisoners of war was unpleasant. The Vinsenian troops weren't especially brutal to them, but life as a POW is never fun. Barst quickly rallied his unit to escape, and soon enough, the remnants of the platoon managed to escape the camp during the chaos of the war. With the fall of the nation, Barst took the liberty of disbanding his unit in the absence of organized Caldegian leadership. He escaped to Belinni, joining a group of mercenaries to do what he could to help the survivors of the nation.

Likes/Dislikes: 
Likes pie, women, joking, his Pegasus, having a cold beer now and again
Dislikes other archers (part of being a Pegasus rider, really), heavy liquors, 
Strengths/Weakness: Highly skilled as an archer and as a rider, Barst is almost more at peace in the air than he is on the ground. As an archer and a Pegasus rider, he is valuable as a "glass cannon" unit. He can fly above mountains or other areas where ground units cannot attack him and rain arrows upon them mercilessly. Of course, as a Pegasus rider, other archers and magicians have his ranged abilities at a disadvantage, where his less-than-amazing constitution and his Pegasus are easy targets. And, as an archer, he has no way of fighting units that close within a few feet of him.

Other: If anybody wishes to make a member of Barst's unit who was captured and also escaped, feel free. But don't feel pressured or anything, it's just a suggestion if you'd like an easy bio to work with.
