Naberius Baines is the hired bodyguard for Dagiel Caldwell, and will join Raziel's championship team upon Dagiel's request.
A former mercenary who is generally aloof and carefree, and tends to find amusement in watching others squirm, but has the capacity to be a gentleman and can be quite polite when he wants to be. He doesn’t talk much about his past, but despite the apparent secrecy, he’s pretty honest about things happening in the moment (assuming he feels the information he has is safe to share). Although he doesn't mind traveling in a group, he remains loyal to Dagiel above all else. He sometimes exudes a dangerous or broody aura, but when guarded, appears to be all gentle smiles and teasing jokes.
Early Life
Naberius refuses to disclose much information about his past, but so far, the team has managed to glean that Naberius grew up with little- if any- parental guidance, and that he's made it this far by his own merit alone. Although he's smart, he seems to be lacking in a formal education, suggesting that he didn't even get put into school.
Adolescence
Explanation of his teenage years are vague, and Naberius mostly summarizes them as the time when he started his work as a mercenary. He picked up the ability to fight and decided to simply make money doing it, and although he never became anyone famous, he was good enough to keep hiring around.
Adulthood
He doesn't tell anyone why he decided to quit his work as a mercenary and take on his position as Dagiel's bodyguard, and if Dagiel knows, he doesn't tell. Naberius seems content with his new arrangement, in part because of the strong feelings he has towards his client, even as unprofessional as he acknowledges it to be. For someone who seemed to have a free spirit during his younger years, he has become surprisingly docile when it comes to serving Dagiel, even if his witty personality remains.

Attributes
Naberius tends to gravitate towards more neutral color tones in his outfits, and can commonly be seen wearing colors ranging from white to black, with little color variance otherwise. He prefers wearing leather (to match the 'cool mercenary' aesthetic, or so he claims) and has a wardrobe of outfits that seem to follow that idea. An accessory that he rarely goes without is his red bandana, one of the only spots of bright color in his outfits. Frustratingly enough for him, his wings are large and usually demand a good amount of clothes-butchering before they can fit in a way that he's satisfied with, and a lot of his t-shirts are missing most of the back in an attempt at giving his wings room.
His only Mystic traits are the pair of large, feathery wings that sprout from just below his shoulder blades, and slightly pointed ears. His wings are lighter than many other bird-type Mystics, but are still somewhat heavy, and require frequent exercise to be able to take to the skies as well as he does. Although they require constant maintenance and preening, Naberius sometimes allows his feathers to get messy and ruffled, as he has mostly had to handle it by himself throughout his life- a difficult task for winged Mystics. His ears aren't a Taillow-based trait and were inherited from one of his parents.
Design Notes
- Naberius has a pink streak in his hair, parted to the left of his face.
- He has two small, hooked markings under each eye
- His wings are always present; he tends to keep them tightly folded to his back when possible.
Abilities
Flight
Naberius's Mystia gifted him with powerful wings that allow him to take to the skies. He is very quick in the air, which grants him an advantage over his land-locked opponents.
Eagle Vision
Out of all of his senses, Naberius's eyesight is the strongest, allowing him to see things from a much longer distance than normal and with more clarity.
RPG Stats
Relationships
Naberius follows Raziel as a team captain, but that hardly stops him from teasing the younger Mystic whenever he is in need of a target for his jokes. Watching Raziel squirm amuses him, but Naberius is still learning to respect him; currently, Raziel's lack of focus makes Naberius somewhat wary of where he'll take them. He just figures that so long as Dagiel stays, he'll stay as well, but will urge Dagiel to leave if necessary.
Dagiel may have simply hired Naberius, but the way Naberius looks at him, one would think Dagiel had given him the entire sky. Naberius is deeply in love with him, but won't say anything, seemingly content to simply stay at his side. He softens his normally-sharp edges around him, and the two of them share a lot of good conversations together.
Naberius was initially put off by Laylah's harshness towards him, but has since learned to roll with it- returning each of her unwarranted attacks on his person in kind. The two of them are almost always at each other's throats, and Naberius has made it his goal to be as insufferable as possible towards her. Deep down, though, he doesn't hate Laylah, and doesn't hold anything against her.
Naberius is interested in what sort of power Asteraoth seems to harbor in her core, and welcomes her to the team without a problem, but he doesn't think very highly of her. Her tendency to be afraid of a lot of things seems to irk him at times, perhaps because he had to grow up quickly whereas she seems to be coddled along, even after asking to join a championship team.
Although the two of them have precious little in common, and Wormwood is known for asking invasive questions simply to sate their curiosity, Naberius is fascinated by how their mind works and finds them to be quite amusing. When the two of them start to talk, it takes a lot to get them to stop, and Wormwood is often sought out when Naberius wants someone to debate with.

Trivia
- Naberius has a habit of people-watching, although he doesn't seem to enjoy it one way or the other.
- He gets easily frustrated when people don't stand up to his expectations of them, therefore making himself and others feel uncomfortable.
- He is very agile and graceful, both in the air and on the ground.
- When sitting, he almost always rests his head on his palm.
- He would never admit it, but someone helping him with preening his wings makes him feel flustered, because he is unused to gentle touch and doesn't know how to handle it.
- He doesn't do well with high-energy groups and prefers to isolate in those situations, although he never openly shows himself as being overwhelmed or exhausted from it.
