To Augus, no one man is more important than the goal, therefore everyone aiming towards that goal should be prepared to lose their life if necessary. Most of the time Augus comes across as rude and cold, but it is just him taking things much too seriously. He will aid those in need, but he won't risk his life unless it serves to accomplish something greater. Augus is quick to anger if you get on his bad side. He'll even berate or insult others in their presence without regard to their feelings. When he's quiet and off on his own, it's best not to approach him. When it comes to patience, Augus can wait as long as almost anything will take. Now, if something ends up being a waste of time, that's when you should be worried. He's brave, but isn't foolish. He's not afraid to lose his life for the betterment of Avalia and the safety of Avian. It has often been noted by his peers and superiors that he has a lot of initiative, maybe too much as he was willing to cut corners and overstep his leadership to get a task completed. Augus has a sharp mind when it comes to military combat strategy. However, he might have too much confidence in his strategies. Augus is not the most social person, being quite unapproachable. As far as manipulation… Augus is more into coercion. He has a hidden dark sense of humor, but besides that, he's quite stone-faced. He's not hyper, but has very high stamina due to his decades of training.

The Maximus line had been a prominent family within Avian, with their men and women serving in some sort of combat arms capacity. In the old days, they were warriors providing aerial support to the allied tribes of demihumans in various conflicts. In the Great War, they were among the few aerial units that moved to support the Light Elves in order to maintain peace and security across Avalia. After the Great War, Avian focused on maintaining their own settlement, building upon it. In recent decades, Avian took in many more Forest Fairies from the River Kingdom due to the emergence of Dark Fairies and their violent attacks on the Kingdom. Though the Avians did not act, they took in the Fairies as they did all children of the sky. With quite a reputation, the Maximus family were expected to produce only excellence within the Avian community. Augus Maximus II was a captain in the Avian Sky Guard, and his son would follow in the family’s legacy. Training and education started as early as possible, with Augus II being borderline cruel to his son. All the while, Augus III wanted to be the best he could be for his father and his family. Even when his father was slain by a wild wyvern while still an adolescent. Augus joined the Sky Guard a few years later and proved to be as exceptional as his training made him. He kept peace within Avian, whether that meant solving civil disputes, counter striking Orc raids, or defending his home from deadly beasts that wandered to the floating islands of Avian. He eventually married a bright souled Avian, and in time they started to build their family. He was not as hard on his children as his father was on him as he did not foresee a new war occuring this early. When he saw the mass execution projected in the sky, he only wished he would have prepared his sons and daughter much more than he had.

For most humanoids, distance, lighting, and sense of direction are factors to consider. Augus can clearly spot an animal as small as a rabbit two miles away. His eyes can adjust to a change in lighting quickly. And due to his ability to perceive the magnetic fields of Avalia, Augus won't lose his sense of direction. As an avian and soldier, Augus possesses greater strength than a human's his size as well as sharp reflexes. Zidur's Blades - Augus possesses the ability to make his wings have the appearance and consistency of carbon fiber, allowing him to make use of his wings as offensive and defensive tools. He cannot remove these feathers and they vastly effect his flying due to the increased weight.[/indent] [u]Equipment[/u]: Cloth armor reinforced with mithral (armor in the picture) Boots with a curved blade protruding from the toe [url=https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/mediawiki/images/c/c7/Dragoon.png]Sin of the Father[/url] is a spear crafted from the wyvern’s tail that killed Augus’ father.
