— Augustine's profile
Appearance
Augustine had long blond hair, tied into a loose pony tail that extended back his shoulders and blue eyes. He was often seen carrying a red rose in his right hand.
Compared to his fellow narcissists, Augustine wore a more understated outfit consisting of a light blue vest, black hat (with a blue band), and black pants with brown boots. His white shirt and scarf were also key elements of his outfit, keeping the overall presentation refined and preventing it from becoming too drab.
This combination of clothing and appearance in turn created a sophisticated and stylish image that was nonetheless elegant in its simplicity.
Personality
Elegant and a lover of all things beautiful, Augustine was very particular about fashion and appearance. According to his own words, he is proud of his moustache and prize Rose Brooch, as well as his gorgeous and artistic swordsmanship. It is in part his swordsman's spirit that endeared Vincent de Boule to him as a veteran of the Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars.
He would often introduce himself with a wink, being confident in his own charm and irresistible nature. Part of the reason he agreed to join the Fire Bringer was because he genuinely believed the group would simply not give up on recruiting him after recognizing his noble aura and swordsmanship.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Augustine also tended to get lost in his own world at times, not noticing when people were talking to him, unless it was about a subject he was already invested in.
History
*furiously swipes right*
Augustine is a person from the former Scarlet Moon Empire who loves nobility as well as elegance of beauty. Six years ago, Augustine was also a recipient of a Rose Brooch, an award at Vincent de Boule's beauty contest and the two became "true friends". He had then set out on a journey of sorts, giving the world the privilege of witnessing his stylish swordplay and attention-grabbing outfit.
Six months before the War of the Champions, Augustine would visit Vinay del Zexay and would become so enamored with the vast beauty of the western ocean that he stayed there for over half a year, merely taking in the sea view daily.
Once the war broke out, Augustine joined the Fire Bringer out of gratitude after they recovered the prized Rose Brooch he had misplaced during his travels. His elegant and artistic sword skills lent themselves well to the cause, as did his Red Rose Rune. He was very proud of his appearance and had a slight obsession with removing split ends.
Augustine was also very fond of the Suggestion Box, writing several letters to the Flame Champion offering his fashion advice, invites for afternoon, or asking opinions on flowers to be delivered to the castle. It seems he was always checking out promising new associates at Budehuc Castle, such as Salome and Gordon.
Following the war, Augustine would again travel to the Toran Republic after hearing rumors of a beautiful palace there.
