{Old Appearance}
Gilles is a white man of average height, measuring six foot two, with short brown hair, not that you could tell. His head is always topped with a feather-trimmed black hat that covers almost all of his hair and sits perfectly on the top of his ears. From under the wide brim of the hat, Gilles' grey eyes are clearly visible, as well as his impressive facial hair. His mustache and beard are trimmed in an elegant french fashion, though retain their manly bulk of bushiness. His eyebrows are also quite full as there is no woman that would dare pluck at his face. Behind the hair, his face is fairly youthful, though still starts to show the lines of middle age that is fast approaching the physical form of the Quincy. His skin, though slightly shaded by the large hat, is still clearly a slightly tanned tone.

There are typically two types of outfits that Gilles wears. For his combat/military garb he wears tight black clothing with the pant legs wrapped up just above his Renaissance Era boots, along with black silk gloves. The outfit is kept in a pristine manner behooving that of a Vandenreich Captain, and it is routinely washed, pressed, and kept absolutely perfect. Over top of the black clothing is a long gold-trimmed blue cloak with the insignia of the Vandenreich blazoned upon it and at his side is a sword scabbard, which is unusual for a Quincy, with a Seele Schneider thrust into it. The outfit is of a Renaissance Musketeer, a culture of people that Gilles is fanatic about.

The second kind of clothing that the Quincy wears is much more casual. As a Captain of the Holy Vandenreich Army, his job is to train the weaker Quincy, and as a result he needs to wear something that fits a little better than a cape. During training sessions, he generally wears a skin tight black suit that shows a less than stellar muscular system. He's not fat, nor flabby, he's just kinda average. He's not overly bulky nor lean, a result of training the mind much more than training the body. When training other Quincy in the ways of the Vandenreich, and in the ways of the Glorious Emperor, the Seele Schneider and scabbard are generally left out of the outfit so as to train the Quincy in the pure ways of the bow rather than Gilles own different ways.

Underneath the clothing that Gilles wears, there are numerous scars across his body, centered on the wrists and neck. These were cuts that started shallow, and eventually got deeper, cuts that were made on purpose for training reasons, to prepare the body for pain and bleeding. This is the most outwardly physical signs of the intense Quincy training that Gilles received as a Private, working his way up the ranks through blood sweat and tears to become a Captain. Bruises go away, but the myriad of thin scars remain. There is even a large scar two inches left of the heart, where his Quincyfication took place.

Gilles’ Quincy Cross is pretty standard, appearing as a small bracelet around his wrist with the cross as a charm on it. There is a jewel at the center, a ruby, that glistens in the sunlight due to its dazzling purity. The bracelet itself is made up of fine silver, an elegant piece that compliments his Musketeer garb. His Mask Fragment also is quite elegant. It is an ebony half-mask made up in a Renaissance style that fits perfectly over his face, matching the contours just so that it needs no string to hold it up, nor anything else. The mask fragment is devoid of any markings, simply being a pure white, and smooth, addition to his face, however it does hide his awesome mustache in an awkward manner.

-Personality-

Dislikes:

• Ninjas: They're dishonorable, only striking from the shadows to take down those more worthy of authority. Those that ambush we of the Emperor's Holy Army are no greater than ninjas.
• Rabbits: HOLY EFFIN RABBITS MAN. Don't even get me started on rabbits
• Flying: Two feet on the ground, or myself upon the sea, that's the way to be.
• Cowardice: Don't flee from something you started, finish it or die trying.
• Yellow: The color of bile and waste. Disgusting.
• Alcohol: Makes the strongest of men disoriented and weak. Not an honorable substance for His Majesty's Exterminators.
• Fire: Following that battle with Kaen Youji, fire sparks the feelings of discomfort and makes the scars itch.
• Country Music: Too. Much. Complaining. And alcohol, but that's beside the point. Too much complaining.

Likes:

• The Emperor: He's not a man, He's a god. He saved me from my obscurity and has the strength to Lord over the entirety of existence. His mere existence gives me strength to carry on and crush mine enemies. All Hail the Emperor!
• The Three Musketeers: Ah, literature in its perfection. The action, the drama, the Honor!
• Fencing: It's not common of Quincy, I know, but after my musketeers I do enjoy the sport.
• Mind games: What has two brains, five limbs, and constantly prowls at night? A horny man, that's what.
• Puzzles: Ever completed a 10,000 piece puzzle with no flat edge pieces and varying sized pieces? Two hours it took me.
• Honor: Honor is life. There is nothing more important than to act with Honor in everything you do.
• Robots: The way their metal gleams, their cold calculating logic, their perfect monotone voice. There's nothing so cool as a robot.
• The open sea: The rock of the waves beneath your feet, the smell of salt on the air. Ah, that's the life for me.
• Proper Grammar: To be proper or not to be proper, that is never a question. Grammar forms the basis of effective communication, and effectively communicating how much someone is going to be destroyed is much better than crashing through language to try and do it.

Flaws:

• Grammar Nazi: It's not enough for him to love proper grammar, but he has to force it upon others as well, correcting every mistake he finds.
• Elitist: The Vandenreich are superior to all, in all aspects of life. There is no source of doubt for Gilles in this matter.
• Pities "Shinigami Ants": Whereas most of the Vandenreich hate the Shinigami, Gilles pities them for their weakness and their lack of ability to control the Hollows that they were supposed to balance.
• List item 4
• List item 5

Habits:

• Laughing incredibly loudly: When he finds something funny, which is often, he lets out a very deep laugh that just seems to echo off of anything.
• Using Olde English: When he's in a good mood, he tends to put a lot of thee's and thou's in his speech, as well as using other Olde words.
• Recounting old tales: Gilles is a storyteller, often embellishing the historical tales even more and more each time he tells the story.
• Reading: When he finds the time, Gilles enjoys sitting down and reading whatever book that happens to catch his eyes.
• List item 5

Fears:

• Rabbits: Not the rabbits, anything but the rabbits. Don't make me look at the HORRORS!
• Poodles: It's like a rabbit with four uniform legs... puffy tails, horrible fur... stupid poodles...
• "YOLO SWAG" teens: What awful grammar and how horrible their Axe stench and lack of honor. Despicable.
• Dying dishonorably: To die without honor, there is no greater shame.
• Not fulfilling his debt to the Emperor: Even if it takes 1000 years of service, I will not stop until I feel as though my debt is paid.

Goals:

• Pay Debt: First and Foremost, he strives to give back to the Emperor tenfold what was given to him. A new chance at life is worth more than a hundred years of service and beyond.
• Purify the Shinigami: It isn't enough to Exterminate them, but rather they should be purified of their arrogance and their position as Order. They are not the source of Balance in the Land of the Living, and as a result are not worthy of the title.
• Eradicate the Hollows: The Hollows are the source of imbalance. Hoarding souls for themselves, harvesting people as if they were a farm. When there are no more Hollows to be found, and strict camps set up to stop any Hollow production, then peace will be found.
• Cut off Las Noches from the Land of the Living: The Garganta are a pain, capable of tearing a way into my home and causing all sorts of problems. To be able to remove that threat would stop all Hollow invasions and create Peace.

Overall Personality:

{Old Personality}
Gilles is a bit of a Jester at heart, always appearing to be upbeat and cheery. his walk always has a skip in its step and a bit of music in his stride. A hum is on his lips at most times, for he simply enjoys life. Gilles spends his time mostly alone, exploring the beauty of the world that belongs to the Emperor. The Emperor owns everything by force of might and power of authority. All beings are beneath Him and as such are forfeit things like life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Gilles is a devoted follower of the Emperor, owing a life-debt to the god who brought him up out of obscurity. Serving in His Holy Army is the least that Gilles can do to repay the god. It also serves to complete his fantasies about being a musketeer.

Honor is very important to the Quincy, even if his understanding of it is twisted. Honor, to Gilles, involves doing nothing that is untrue to the nature of the Emperor. Conquest, destruction, genocide, these can be honorable things that are fine to do. However, he is also conflicted by the Honor of the Musketeers. In an approximately 50/50 balance, Honor is caused in a more traditional sense by granting enemies their lives so that they may know the glory of the Emperor more fully, among other things that the Musketeers would do. Even though genocide and murder are Honorable, doesn't make it practical or correct for the situation. Usually, the dream of being a musketeer rules out the expressly genocidal Honor of the Emperor, but still, not completing murder or genocide is not expressly dishonorable in the Stern Ritter's twisted mind.

There is one thing about Gilles that he shares with next to no other Vandenreich, much less any other Stern Ritter. He likes Shinigami. He thinks that they are interesting, the way that they scurry around in their homes like they actually mattered and think that they are an important balance in the world. But balance means nothing. When the Hollow was first born the balance was disrupted. Las Noches doesn't deserve to exist, nor do any hollows. No, complete extermination of Hollows, not conversion, is how order will be found once more. The other Stern Ritter don't understand Gilles, why he pities the shinigami who fail at their most basic of tasks. The other Stern ritter are all doom and gloom, fire and brimstone, but not Gilles. Maybe that's why he's not destined for more than a Captaincy.

Above all else, Gilles. Hates. Rabbits. There is nothing more despicable or filthier or more FEAR INSPIRING than a rabbit. If anything even remotely appears like a rabbit he will nuke it into oblivion, or if it also worships the god-King of the Vandenreich, avoid it completely. Then again, Quincy are usually humans, and until an anthropomorphic soul becomes Quincified, Gilles won’t have to worry about it and can nuke everything related to a bunny that he sees. Only just underneath his hatred of rabbits is his hatred for poodles, as their fluffy composition resembles a rabbit. Those are put out of their misery for looking like a rabbit, just not necessarily nuked. Most of the Vandenreich don’t know why it is that he hates rabbits, save for the Emperor who knows everything and the Quincy that performed the Quincification process.
