Ghislain Eberhart (Done)

Eberhart Family: This family traces it's origins far back enough that they are the nobles of nobles. Their blood couldn't be much purer from the aspect of people, the family is odd for it's power having most of them be known for owning land in other Providences. most of the land the Eberhart have a claim too is currently under the claim of the Shadow Fall Organization. Or rather the countries are as they have gained a massive fortune. However the Eberhart family practices a strange tradition and sends off one child to the Vandenreich per family. Ghislain fell into that category and was sent into Jhwach's military force during the war with the Shinigami. He did well during it but wasn't as prominent as the B at the time Hulderic Hylham. However Ghislain did his family proud and brought them honor with his strength. He is known by his family as the Peace-Bringer, he was able to secure an area and settle the population down rather easily. Ghislain's place is the current leader of the Eberhart family. His skill attracts many of the hopefuls and to some extent marriage proposals. The family practices strange fighting styles and among other things exercise control over elements people couldn't hope to understand. Every Eberhart born is gifted with a power that isn't easy to understand. Each of the Eberhart are given an epithet describing their power in some form. Two were given to Ghislain, the Dark Eberhart was the first given his power over the Dark Matter. The last name came from German myth, they called him Taiwaz which meant the Germanic God of War. Due to his fierce and perhaps almost inhuman desire. Ghislain wants to see a home for the Quincy, not away from others but on main street. They are people and he believes that right is paid for on birth, his family has mixed feelings about his view. But the Emperor isn't one to shy from confrontation when it beckons him. Ghislain and the Eberhart's are ready for anything.


Name: Ghislain Eberhart
Alias: The Emperor of Dark Matter, The Dark Eberhart, Taiwaz, Ghi.
Race: Pureblood Quincy
Age: One Thousand Years Old
Height: Six Feet and Zero Inches
Weight: One Hundred and Ninety Pounds
Physical Appearance: Ghislain was born a blonde and bright boy with lovely eyes and features. Often wearing a warm smile that seems out of place as he looks much younger then his age would give one to believe. Ghislain's baby face and features that make him appear much younger then he is allow for a very strange reaction. His physical body seems to be in excellent shape, allowing for most to assume and notice he's good at physical combat. On his arm he has a tattoo he wears as a symbol from the war, it's meaning is very old. It in short speaks of the number of people he saved as a number in Germany's more forgotten language. Ghislain wears a very simple outfit often dressing casually, trying to avoid the fact he's the Emperor of Quincy now. Ghislain doesn't like to be lofty or do things that are extremely flashy it's simply not who he is. Ghislain is a simple and very down to earth person who finds the whole My Lord thing a bit exaggerated and ridiculous to expect of anyone. Ghislain's clothing and outfits do change sometimes, he will wear a German dress suit and shoes, making sure everything fits the image. He always has a sort of sad smile on his face but it's evident the long haired blonde is a catch for most. He's physically attractive and has had seven marriages arranged by his family. He however declined each and every one that came his way, saying he isn't going to look for such things. Ghislain's body upon closer inspection has scars in a couple places. One across his back, another going across his chest in the center. Often hidden is the one he got on his shoulder from combat with a shinigami.


Charismatic Ghislain is a very good leader, capable of making people see how important they are. Ghislain is a natural born leader able to get people to follow him on simple actions. He was a natural born A, born to be the next Emperor but he was hidden in the Shadow of the man known as Hulderic. However it didn't dampen the man's spirit, Ghislain was able to develop a great charisma. Perhaps because he had to strive to keep up with something out of his reach, Ghislain was able to develop a very good charisma. Able to lead when Hulderic and Yhwach couldn't do so. It allowed him to become something of his own person and develop freely. His charisma is a rare type that encompasses all, he can be quiet and for some reason people flock to him. Ghislain is someone who grew into the role over time, without a choice of his own.

Highly Intelligent: From a young Age Ghislain strove for excellence, to be the best and do everything he could. Nothing was to short for the young Quincy as he got older and wiser. His intelligence only grew and perhaps this is why he was left with the title he was. His intelligence allowed him to make moves without getting involved too far. He's created reform and been extremely intelligent in his term as Emperor so far. He didn't make speeches or try and do things, he was simply given this role. Because he got results and saw what needed to be done. Ghislain didn't waste time or use his intellectual prowess poorly. He's normally able to see through most moves by the time people move. Ghislain is known for being an avid Chess player, with skill at the game. His intelligent nature allows him to learn and process things quickly. Capable of making quick calculations like a computer within his head, his brilliance only continued to grow as he got older thankfully.

Witty Sense of Humor: Ghislain has a rather witty sense of humor, liking to make small jokes about things. A great example was when he heard Hulderic got the Quincy Antarctica he merely puzzled and asked. Why did you get use a land of frozen wasteland, is this some genocide joke? Ghislain isn't against making jokes to lighten the mood. But he is smart enough to know when it's okay to drop one. Some moments actions speak louder and change the direction of the world. Other times a good sense of humor can get people through a rainy day. Ghislain believes in his people and has faith they are far from being done growing. That other have the right idea, but one step at a time. His sense of humor is rather charming going along with his charisma well. He doesn't make comments he believes cross the line or are overly offensive. He does known how to conduct himself, but this witty humor does exist. A few close people to him have heard him crack a joke or two.

Gentleman: Whatever the case Ghislain is a gentlemen and conducts himself as such. He opens doors for ladies and pulls their chairs out, he gives Veterans of military conflicts handshakes and buys their meals. In someways it's hard to see him past this, he's an extremely strange fell by some stand points. Because he'll even buy the enemy food because they served and did well. He's not the type to hold a grudge and conducts himself as a gentlemen at almost all times. Manners maketh man is the saying that some may forget that old adage. But Ghislain holds to it as he believes they are a truth. He doesn't show them often on the battlefield, claiming that being a gentlemen isn't such a thing. It has no place on the field of battle, that is where honor belongs. Honor is something some warriors have and others simply don't. Being a gentlemen is about the image you present and bringing yourself to be a proper man. You should treat woman with respect at all times unless such right is extinguished.

Honorable: A trait most Quincy have in abundance with one other, he has both of these in spades. Ghislain represents what it is to be a Quincy very well, showing his honor on the battlefield to those who have earned it. Honor is something the strong may show along with mercy. Ghislain believes he has this simple right to be an honorable warrior, he can afford to be honorable. Some simply can't and he understands that well enough, fighting method has little to do with it. Ghislain has never struck an enemy from behind in all his duels, they were always done from the front. His nature which shows on the battlefield sometimes is often seen with a grain of salt by his friends. Ghislain is known to have a nature that his colleagues didn't within the Vandenreich back in the older days. He wasn't consumed by blood lust and remained a normal person. Honor didn't allow him to do less, however his enemies weren't deserving of honorable intentions back in those hellish days.

Prideful: Ghislain has pride in himself no matter what he does, he finds that it helps him be confident as a leader. But confidence and pride are two different animals sometimes, pride can lead a leader to do reckless things. Ghislain is well grounded but does have pride in himself and the things he does. He believes in the organization the Vandenreich and that they will secure a place for the Quincy in the world. Pride is something of a sin that the Quincy most of the time have and Ghislain knows his pride well. It makes him almost make choices that are harmful, arrogance and pride can kill a person. He's learned this the hard way as the war progressed between the Quincy and the Soul Society. They were blind in believing they could triumph over such a foe. They weren't willing to let go of the honor and become monsters like their enemy, while some were strong enough to battle. Pride is an emotion that Ghislain knows all too well as a person.

Calm: He keeps his calm and takes a very calculated approach to most things. Putting the needs of the many before the one in himself. He's prone to do things that his guards consider reckless. But that's why they exist with him to defend Ghislain from himself. But more often then not he keeps a calm and very composed nature. He's able to handle almost any situation as a calm politician from the German homeland. Keeping his calm allows him to remain in control and issue things around. Ghislain knows which version of him is more productive as a leader. Thus he strives at all times to keep his cool when fighting, his temper used to be something that got him in trouble when he was younger. But as he grew older and wiser he allowed past hates to go. Focusing instead on the future that the Quincy had ahead of them, he believed within his calm mind. That anything could be achieved with hard work and effort. Ghislain is a calm and very focused man a majority of the time keeping himself contained.

Laid Back: Somewhere beneath it all does exist someone who is rather relaxed and able to do so. He doesn't need to be busy for the sake of being busy. While it's not a personality trait everyone will see, Ghislain certain is far more laid back then the others. His compatriots don't compare to his slow and steady pace. But it's because he would rather be precise and doesn't see sense in rushing. Being laid back plays into his calm mind set often allowing him to evaluate the situation and think carefully about things. He often see's things as straight forward no need for extra stress. Ghislain isn't the most laid back person in the world and often only shows to friends, family, or his guards. Where he keeps a relaxed face even in the face of death itself. Perhaps from staring at it so many times he finally became numb. Or just stopped caring, it was a growing experience learning to just go with the flow. See where the wind would take him on each journey.

Kind: he is a kind man and shows it often, willing to help out in soup kitchens among other things. Despite being an Emperor, he shows kindness to all races normally it's something that came. He is kind to not just people but animals and nature as well. Some believe he's a gentle man, but it's simple kindness. Ghislain has always been kind, however that kindness upon betrayal disappears. He doesn't believe in it at all, his belief and system are very different from most. Ghislain is able to listen and perhaps most amazingly be a friend to almost anyone. He's very easy to reach, unlike some people who feel so distant as a ruler. Ghislain does this intentionally and it works most of the time. But he believes that being kind to one's subjects is a natural answer. Kindness can be a weakness only if you allow it to be.

Generous: Perhaps the strangest part about him is he gives often, not worried as he does generously give to organizations. He believes in helping people recover and does what he can for the people. It's why he's loved by most Quincy, as they believe he was a commoner who became Emperor. But it's very close to the truth, Ghislain was a mere Executive Captain at the end of the conflict, he didn't get much promotion due to them losing. However he remained generous, giving to his people till it hurt. Giving them land and medicine when they needed it and even traveling to tend to wounded. He really did go the extra mile for them. Being a good person down his being. Ghislain believes Hulderic and Yhwach treated their position too much like being a God. They were but met among a people leading them, perhaps that is where they lost their way. Leading them down the correct path in life, it was understandable though. Hulderic and Yhwach had a rough time period both of them, Hulderic got after Yhwach. And Yhwach got stuck with the period of War, though he brought it on himself.

Responsible: he is someone that can be trusted, Ghislain when he promised has never gone back on his word. His vow is perhaps stronger than anything else in this world, he will keep it. No matter what the condition is he will make sure it's complete, this is the man trusted with everything. Ghislain has proved he can be trusted with everything and handles it very well. Being a responsible man takes time and one must even own up to being wrong. Something Ghislain doesn't enjoy but will do, if he messes up he understands. He merely accepts it and moves on, that is how life is. We make mistakes and recognizes it as a person very easily. Ghislain is perhaps one of the strangest leaders the Quincy had, perhaps for the best in its own way. Being a responsible man allows his people to trust him more, with their trust he can do more. Faith is reward with him with great results and hard work. It's something drilled into him since he was but a child.

Strong:[Some people project an air of strength and that can be said about Ghislain. He has that air around him of a strong person, his will and being just showcase it. Perhaps it's something all leaders have that they simply must be strong. Within every regard they must be educated and strong. Mental strength as well as physical, not to mention will in itself. A leader is the will of his power and the strength that he represents is theirs. Ghislain embraces that he is the Quincy's strength and tries to be that as often as possible. To show himself in good form and be that leader. While wanting people to feel close to him, he also does have that air Hulderic and Yhwach did. He had that strength that made people look at him in a sense of awe. The strong personality that only perhaps those meant to lead are born with.

Musical:He plays the violin and rather enjoys humming little songs, it allows for him to be very enjoyable to be around. He has an excellent singing voice but also has a great sense for the musical arts. He believes that music as a form helps him stay grounded, the violin is a lovely instrument and as is the piano another he enjoys. Chopin is a favorite of his to listen to or play. His music sense is good enough that most people enjoy hearing him sing, it's something of a sound that not many have. He's got a good raspy sound to his voice and has excellent control. He spent most his time singing when he wasn't working on something in the old days. Merely practice made perfect, but it's more then that he simply has the gift. He can pick up almost any instrument and learn it over night. Skills that come from his talent are rare, but perhaps this is one of them. Ghislain didn't plan on going into music for a reason he states often. Ghislain the Musician isn't that catchy is normally his response.

Eccentric:To say that Ghislain is without eccentricities would be a wrong statement. He has his moments like most, but they stand out more due to the position of power. Ghislain is known to simply go for walks into places or sometimes he plays something completely random. Ghislain believes life without a little eccentric behavior would be odd. He does have a habit from the battlefields and things that most call eccentric. He cracks his index finger out of habit and merely continues to do so. Sometimes he'll talk about something just before someone asks as well. Making him seem all the more eccentric to them, however most of this is shown when he lacks sleep. Ghislain is very good at hiding some eccentricities. He doesn't strive to be perfect not because he already is. But because perfection isn't what a Leader should reach for, they should reach for whatever is best. The best they can do for the people who are under them should be the constant focus. This may drive him to do funny things at time, but his eccentric behavior is a welcome price.

Whimsical: Sometimes a bit of whimsy is needed in any leadership, you need to mix things up. If you spend your whole week doing one thing, just one day do the exact opposite of it. Sometimes Ghislain does that exactly, deciding to do the opposite of what he would on that day. Making sure he is changing it up, the definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing everyday without change. So in an effort to change it up, he does different things. Will wear funny outfits now and then. Try to get his people laughing and happy, some believe it's the Emperor making a fool of himself. But he's strong enough that no matter the outfit it simply works for him. However the whimsical nature lets him inspire others to try new things. Being different and trying out new things are a good habit. Being whimsical can be a good thing if it's done correctly, though it seems like he plans it out. In truth he merely rolls with what the world provides him everyday.

Ruthless: It's rare, perhaps extremely rare where Ghislain will show ruthless aggression. But within him it exists he showed it during the war, leaving his enemy nothing not an inch. He ruthlessly took everything they could try from them, leaving nothing for them in the end. It was a domination of sorts that he displayed, though he rarely does it now. It's perhaps somewhere still inside of Ghislain hiding beneath it all. The shackles around it waiting for that key, waiting for the moment that cold calculating Quincy is needed again. But while he doesn't use it day to day, he keeps most his ruthlessness hidden away. The Quincy deserve a kind leader, but their enemies whom ever they be. Deserve only the ruthless cold aggression he keeps bottled within. Ghislain knows everything has it's moment and place, now isn't the time for ruthless blood lust. It's the time of peace and staying true to his people's core. That is all that matters at this point and time as he has begun to grow into a fine leader.



Music:He enjoys music in it's purest form and has a large like for the sound that each instrument can bring forward from its core. Everything about music is appealing to him as he enjoys it to the fullest extent. Everything from the sounds and what creative things can be used as instruments makes him smile. It's a strange hobby of his but not the only one he enjoys. His like for true music in it's raw form allows him to have a general dislike for some of it. But the sound of the piano and violin when they are played well. It simply brings a smile to his face or someone who can sing well. These little things allow him to enjoy his life more fully then simply being an Emperor. Ghislain isn't sure what the future holds for anyone, but so long as he can enjoy good music along the way he's happy. Able to grow and become a more skilled musician along the way. However, that dream isn't what it once was when he thought about becoming a musician for a living.

Reading: Nothing as relaxing as pulling up a good book and reading some nice literature. That is perhaps one of the more quiet ways he enjoys passing the time. He's learned many things from reading and enjoys simple books for what they are. They pass the time and when one is a one thousand years old it is almost required. While he is older then most the Quincy he believes that a balance is required. Enjoying the little things allow him to make good choices in the long run. Learning lessons from the non-fictional literature he reads very often. His favorite books often are Musashi's rings. Reading as though starving for a good story and the knowledge of the world around him. The books he adores most are the ones around his heroes within the music. This goes along with the massive reform that the Vandenreich are undergoing, however he knows that somethings never change. Ghislain enjoys reading about the successes and failures of other leaders. Claiming they are key to being a good leader as well.

Learning: He loves to learn new things, believing if you stop learning you cease to exist. Ghislain loves knowledge and studies everything with an interest that goes beyond the normal. He can speak most languages known to the world even a couple dead ones. His favorite language is German, perhaps simply because it's more comfortable for him. But he does through in German phrases in with each word as he continues in speech. But he loves learning new combat moves or perhaps politic policies. He loves studying everything that is able to be studied. Martial arts, music, landscaping, and so on. Every subject is interesting to him, he finds that all of them are fascinating. The saying you can't teach an old dog new tricks is perhaps the worst phrase created when speaking of Ghislain. He studies nature and how to better live with it, studying ways to farm and live off the land safely. Not taking away from the natural beauty of the Earth they call home.

Restoration:Ghislain enjoys restoring ruins and other such things to pristine conditions. He's done so with several already proving his skill as an archeologist he funded an operation where they rebuilt and refurbished some ruins. They are now a museum which funds some of his operations for other such projects. Ghislain has restored and wrote several books on the practice of doing it, now he's become a big name for it. Teaching people how best to be a productive archeologist is something that he strongly feels is important. People should be able to view ruins safely and learn about their past. It's why he believes Quincy ruins exist and has been searching for some. He's restored several normal human ones among other things. But he's yet to locate what he believes exists, the strange part about it. While he could tap into his massive power to do these things. Ghislain chooses to do this along with everything else like a normal person. So he can enjoy it to the fullest extent that it was meant to be.

Cooking: Perhaps one of the more strange Emperors that ended up in charge. Ghislain enjoys very human activities, finding cooking to be fun and exciting. Even when you fail it's a lesson that can teach you to be better. Cooking recipes can also be an educational thing in it's own way. How every nation and country has different delicacies that others find disgusting. It's such a strange and fascinating thing that always excites him about the prospect. He often wonders what did the Quincy before it all eat, what type of food did they go too. This sort of thing always excites Ghislain as he thinks about the old world and wishing to bring the light upon it. Food and anything else that could be found about them excite and bring his interest up. Ghislain is interested in everything to do with that, but cooking became an interest all it's own. When he was fighting in the war he discovered he enjoyed it as well, taking it to it very naturally.

Ancient Quincy: He is fascinating by the people who once were, they were a kingdom of their own. Ghislain hides it very well but he found the Ancient culture of his people fascinating. They were such a strange people with a rich history, but all of it was lost in that conflict. Just because their Emperor at the time couldn't compromise. So much history and knowledge was lost on them, they grew and did evolve into stronger beings. But it was all perhaps something that Yhwach didn't want to let go of. Those who can't learn or adapt will be lost to the sands of time. Revenge is a poor dish something best left to those who can find that answer can live another day. But so much knowledge and rich culture was lost, so he looks to return it to them. It's always better to give back to your people then take away from them. Ghislain believes this with his entire heart, he's enjoyed every moment he spends looking for them. Did his people have songs or did they have special writing, all these things are on his mind.

Writing: Writing comes with it all, reading and writing are perhaps something he enjoys as well. Writing out things in different languages and studying authors who catch his eye. Everything he does allows him to grow and become a more well-rounded person. Studying the way of the world by drinking in the essence of everything around him. Writing and taking notes all of it is enjoyable, for someone who has been alive for a long time. Your interests become very easily figured out when given the time. Becoming Emperor did put a delay on the books he wrote but it did also let him use his talents. Doing more for people that need it then most organizations have ever done. The Vandenreich of old was a place of war, he didn't really know how else to handle matters in those days. Being a low-rank person you weren't given many choices. However with all things that came, he got to develop skills that really helped him grow.

Honest People:An honest person is always more enjoyable, liars are such disappointing people. Ghislain has had to deal with both kinds and does find he likes those who tell the truth. He's able to sense a lie out very easily, making him an extremely effective politician. Being able to tell when a person is honest and when they are lying is something few people can do. But he senses them almost as they are, honest people are very easy to get along with. Because they are being honest in dislike or like of you. He doesn't mind it so long as they are honest, he knows some people don't care for him being the one. They don't care for him as Emperor because of how strange he is. But they are honest in the opinion of such and it makes his life easier as a whole. If everyone told the truth and were honest the world would be an easier place. But sadly people cannot all be honest, dishonesty does exist.

Exploring:Nothing in the world like exploring and finding something new. Or something sleeping long within the depths waiting to be discovered, it takes a brave sort of person. But Ghislain has always enjoyed exploring and discovering lost civilizations among other things. Specially looking for hints or clues about the Ancient Quincy who once lived. Before the war their were said to be many of them around, they had to of left markings or a trial. But Ghislain hasn't found much in his exploration. Everything points to many things that are left wondering in the exploration, creatures said to exist in myth. So many discoveries through simply exploring a place, doing it as a normal person. Their isn't a sense of excitement from doing everything as a Quincy, everyday humans made a living by doing things the old fashioned way. Sometimes it worked out and sometimes it didn't. But that is the joy of doing it that way. Exploring has become a hobby, while his guards don't enjoy it he very much enjoys the exploration itself.

Being Human: While he has aged a long time and become perhaps an immortal by many standards. He enjoys doing things the human way, walking instead of rushing for things. while he was an effective warrior it's well known that Ghislain. Always did things this way, it made him late sometimes when others arrived early due to powers. There are things when you look through the eye of a normal person. Pretend to be normal and just see how the life is explore and do things by hand. Don't rely on your powers for every thing that pops up. It can make your life more interesting and perhaps more of an adventure. Unlike some who teleport, he travels normally and uses planes and other means. He really doesn't believe in taking the easy path. That the harder path in life with its trials is worth much more. Ghislain believes this firmly and doesn't force it on his people. But he does often do this sort of thing on his own, it's his way of living life. Being human is sometimes viewed as a weakness but Ghislain see's it as a strength.



Liars: people who lie are scum it's a simple fact, unless their is a very good reason. Ghislain hates lying and finds those that do it deplorable. Lying to a people or even a person is wrong. It's something that shouldn't be done under any circumstances. People that lie or would hide the truth from those who need to hear it. Ghislain really can't stand that sort of person and has a general dislike for them. People who lie would abandon their people and let them suffer. That sort of person deserves no mercy from him in is mind, but he knows that sometimes there are cases where a kind lie saves a tear.

Cheaters:Cheating to get ahead without thinking about those hard working people. Those who cheat really have no morals in his mind, they would cheat their own mother. He's heard people say such a thing as cheating in battle exists. But in Ghislain's mind no such thing exists that battle is a fight between those who use strategy to win. Strategy and cheating have often been compared, some people even believe that it harms honor. But in his mind cheating is something that is terrible in any case. Relationships and everything else that come with it, cheating is something that makes a mess out of everything. Cheating at anything from a quiz to a lover is something wrong. Ghislain never understood why so many people feel such a thing is needed. It's an awful practice that tears a person apart and makes them less. Anyone who does it intentionally over and over will sooner or later pay. They simply won't be able to match up to someone who made it by sheer effort.

Swindlers: To take advantage of someone and take from them while they are weak. That is the ultimate sin, taking from someone instead of giving back. Those who would do such things are worse then Cheaters or Liars. They took from people in a way that some never recover, it's a sin that has not been forgiven by any means. While he doesn't enjoy conflict, he won't let someone take advantage of his people. Or anyone for that matter, words coated with honey to simply get what you want in the end. Using people merely to toss them away in the end is a cold and heartless practice. Such is not the way he will conduct himself or the Vandenreich. Ghislain has seen two leaders come who did such things, the darkness of such deeds leave's a sour taste in his mouth. Those who swindle and take advantage of the weak and downtrodden are merely the scum of this world. His job as Emperor is to protect them from such dark things. To act as a shield from swindlers and be as honest as he can with the people whom follow him.

Yhwach: This man caused more trouble for the people the Quincy then people know. Now that Ghislain has the knowledge that Hulderic and Yhwach did. He sees's the darkness this man had brought on others. This man had no interest in his people and would have given them all to meet his ends. Such an evil being doesn't deserve Ghislain's respect as he see's it all as a dark reality. Yhwach had no interest in his people he wished to become a God, that was his only goal in life. Which is why no matter how much Ghislain tries he cannot forgive Yhwach. The man who started the war and caused the destruction of the Quincy. It wasn't something the Shinigami provoked like many would believe. Yhwach provoked the Shinigami into the conflict and wanted his people to get slaughtered. Merely so he could reap the benefits, his body trembles with rage when ever he thinks about it. How naive they were to merely follow this man, this evil being his dislike or perhaps even hate will never go away for Yhwach.

Killers: Murderers who take pride in killing are the worst people he's dealt with. The Quincy and First Generation Gotei 13, such evil people who desired only to see blood. For the sake of seeing the color red everywhere. Quincy have changed since those bloodthirsty days, Shinigami have as well. But Ghislain finds killers to be people he cannot trust, senseless slaughter holds no place for him. Quincy were meant to be honorable and prideful warriors. But instead, they caused a slaughter and thus he believes the blood will never come off. Killing people in self-defense isn't wrong by any means. It's killing without reason or remorse, that is the type of behavior he cannot stand. Ghislain believes a life shouldn't be ended without a really good reason. He doesn't carry that sort of fire for killing that others do. He left behind that nature when he left the war alive. It wasn't something that he ever wished to be part of, but the order of the one forced it. It was either his family died or he fought.

Politics: A twisted game that people play now, instead of war. They discuss how to take from their people and how to benefit themselves. They no longer care about the people they serve in some cases. This is perhaps the painful thing about the politics of the world itself in large. This practice and game of double dealing and death effects everything and almost all organizations falls prey to it. The Gotei 13 especially has fallen prey to the wickedness of the game he noticed. The game of death, cheating, lying and swindling people. Such a wicked thing that should never have been created. It shows just how ruthless humanity can be if pushed to do so. Perhaps they did it for the sake of doing it. Ghislain will never understand why people enjoy so much doing such things. For him, this is the worst thing about being a leader having to engage in politics, no matter how good he may be at them. He despises these and often tries to simply let them be avoided. A man's word should be enough to carry his feelings to people.

Politicians: These would be duelist of politics, they are people who can't be trusted. In his experience no matter the area, they are ruthless and cold people. Calculating in ways to take advantage of people. They've forgotten what it means to be a common person and it makes them weak. They've forgotten everything that made them human or close to it. These duelists of the political world are merely scavengers looking to pick the meat from the hard working. Ghislain has hated both the game and people playing it for the enjoyment of it. He doesn't find any pleasure in personal aims being reached or objectifying what you do. Anything when done for you alone and not for the many. That is a crime in itself as a leader, those who do such should lose the right to lead. That is the point of view he holds so clearly and tightly too as he guides the Vandenreich. Making it more of a democratic organization. Letting every voice matter no matter how small it may be. Ghislain is ambitious and perhaps it's the reason he has a dislike for these people.

Arrogant People: People who are full of themselves are not the best to deal with. Aggressive and over inflating their ego as though they need a boost. They don't care about people around them or how their arrogance effects them. As a Quincy, he's seen first hand what a large amount of arrogance can do. It's something of a dark reality that cannot be forgotten by anyone. Pride comes before the fall for those who aren't prepared for it. Quincy especially suffers from a huge ego and arrogance a majority of the time. He's found he doesn't care for those who aren't humble. The activities they try to come up with to try and prove they are the best. Everything involving them is something that bothers him. However being arrogant is an evil sin all together, sometimes pride is called for. But people who are overly arrogant are hard to manage. While he can tolerate them, he doesn't like them that much. Thus, why he's selective when it comes to those who lead the Vandenreich positions.

Hulderic: Hulderic Hylham, this man has gotten an eternal dislike from Ghislain. When he looked at Hulderic he saw the continuation of Yhwach's plans. He disliked that everything was tossed aside by both of them. Merely for the benefit of the people they served, they didn't care about the world around them. Only the benefit brought to them, untold suffering was brought by both men. Ghislain can't stand either person and finds them agitating. Hulderic's actions cost his family greatly and put them at risk with the Organization known as K-World. Hulderic handled every situation in a sloppy manner, not doing things as a Quincy should. He represented the worst of their kind in Ghislain's mind. Someone who followed in the steps of the leader before him. Ghislain has made it a point to go a different direction from either man. His dislike for them made him choose to do this. If it succeeds he will be happy, but his dislike for using the people under them will never disappear.

War:War, it's always a bitter affair. The Quincy when they get drawn into the chaos of the battlefields so much risk is put out. Their people are always at risk of getting completely destroyed by the slightest mistake. It's a wire that almost folds every time they try to simply exist. This has always been the way the Quincy were, war drew them in. They paid the price with blood and tears. No benefit came from the wars the Quincy got involved in, no matter what they did. War is an ugly business and something to be avoided if at all possible. Compromise and do whatever must be done that is the way it should be. But some people put less then the complete effort into each thing, taking time and merely tossing away the important people in their worlds. It leaves them almost nothing to grow from. Ghislain doesn't like war from the days spent fighting Shinigami. He believes that war is wrong morally but will fight if he absolutely has too. It's his absolute last resort at all times, wishing to avoid it at all costs.



Hulderic Hylham: To say this is a strained relationship would be very true. Ever since learning what Hulderic had intended from the beginning, he has held a dislike for Hulderic. For not being strong enough to guide his people properly. They weren't sheep that needed some shepherd to guide them from the world. They needed much more then that to get by as they were in need of guidance to heal their wounded hearts. But instead Hulderic offered battle and obliteration for no one but his own personal gain. Some people truly do want to see the world burn and that was Hulderic's desire. He didn't care about his people as much as he let on and Ghislain found out in a way that no being should. From being given Yhwach and Hulderic's memories, he made the judgement that they were both fools and swindlers. Only out to help themselves not giving a damn about others. This is perhaps what made him dislike Hulderic even more is that he lied about it.

Yhwach:Absolute hate is something that describes the word well. Yhwach wanted his people to die so he could gain power. That was the reason behind the wars, he wished to become a God and destroy all his people just for that. Anything was worth sacrificing and his people found their way to the chopping block. It wasn't a small matter of anger that he felt from the entire situation. He would most likely kill Yhwach on sight for what he did, throwing their entire race into near extinction for a little taste of power. Ghislain now knowing his thoughts were true is even more angry for how easily they followed. It wasn't as though they could merely ignore the power that was. They were ordered to fight and die, no choice was given as Yhwach's word was absolute. As was Hulderics, his hate for that way of thinking. Throwing everyone into the fire for nothing but personal gain. It cannot be forgotten nor forgiven, this is perhaps why he hates Yhwach most of all.

Jugram Haschwalth: While he and Jugram got along better then he did with Yhwach, it was clear that Ghislain didn't know what failure was. He and Jugram had a decent friendship for the most part. Ghislain did respect Jugram since he was casual and spoke calmly, he gave him some advice when he was younger as well. Ghislain wasn't brought into the Vandenreich under the best conditions, but it didn't stop him from joining the organization. He came in and showed a great deal of promises as a warrior. Jugram helped him learn a couple things about fighting. But with his natural skills he learned rather quickly on his own. This, of course, allowed him to grow into a fine Quincy, but he was different from others. What most felt was, of course, a strange outlook for a young Quincy to have. Ghislain tried his best to become the strongest he could not for Jugram. But his relationship with him was a bit of a fifty-fifty at times.

Pernida Parnkgjas: A relationship that was never that good, the creature known as the Soul King's Left Arm or Hand. It didn't really occur to him but this beings arrogance was astounding. Such a cocky and over arrogant creature that seemed to believe it was akin to god. He didn't buy the whole being the Arm thing at any point and time, this of course lead him to be distant towards the C at the time. In his mind it meant very little, he wasn't a member of the Sternritter for that reason. But he had immense power that made him different from the rest. Jugram noticed it and while he and Pernida never got along fully. It was evident that he wouldn't be caught into the same trap as others. He didn't think much of Pernida nor his nature, this creature or thing that pretended to be Quincy. He never would understand why it was such a way. In some ways it was a Quincy in others it was merely a evil being seeking to enjoy the nature of war. It wasn't a being that he would suggest anyone meet.

Askin Nakk Le Vaar: A friend and loyal one at that, many times he and Askin spent talking about things. The two eccentric men hit it off quite famously with little trouble or effort coming from it. Askin and he had a true friendship something very rare in the Vandenreich, people believed all Quincy were evil beings. But that wasn't the case at all he was a laid back easy to get along with fellow. He didn't learn anything from the man really, it was merely easy to get along with someone so laid back. The two often would talk and do things when Yhwach slept, but that perhaps was the only time the Sternritter would speak with someone like him. Though they spent most the day defending the Emperor it was something he never considered when speaking. They were two sides of a similar coin, the difference being that Ghislain was meant to be great someday. Conversation and what he thought was a friendship was simply a matter of opinion. It would always be such a way when people didn't want you too know.

Bambietta Basterbine: A sadistic psychopath who has no remorse for anything in the world. She killed her own people in frustration, almost did him in if not for Askin. Askin borrowed him under false pretenses. Bambietta and he did not get along nor did he care for her. Those who enjoy war are but monsters without a regard for life. That would sum this woman up very well, she was a psycho without honor. This part made him detest her, thus why he was on the other side of the war normally. Avoiding any dealings with her and Sternritter in general when he could. Jugram and Askin were two who went out of their way, but that was all. They weren't special in some regard, Jugram wanted him effective for Yhwach that was all. Askin just talked to him and treated him he guessed like a friend. Bambietta would kill anyone and anything that caused trouble or wasn't useful. It was perhaps all part of how their world worked in the long run.

Äs Nödt: This bastard was someone that Ghislain despised almost as much as Bambietta. They were both psychos who almost had no remorse, they believed in scaring people. Removing the humanity or perhaps the thing that made them more alive. He didn't understand why they were this way, it made them seemed devoid and perhaps more so lost. Fear isn't a tool to inflict on enemies or draw out of them. Fear isn't a weapon true Quincy have ever needed, those who can create awe are far more effective. In his mind it's always been such a way thus why he gets along with almost none of the fellows form this time. As is no different from them, the man who is over confident and has this need to prolong battles pointlessly. Causing undo suffering to the enemy isn't a strategy. Such a fear of being devoured or killed by Yhwach consumed As from what he could tell. Ghislain has no love or friendship with this man nor would he ever. unless the man changed his ways drastically.

Liltotto Lamperd: A very foul mouthed child like girl, with an odd habit. She would eat those that she desired, she wasn't totally ruthless so they got along well as Colleagues. The eating thing did throw him off, but he never got the feeling she was the type too simply turn on her allies without provocation. She would only do so when provoked from what Ghislain could tell, he didn't mind her that much. She often wondered if he tasted good or not things like that, very creepy and strange behavior for a girl like her to make. However being forced into the Vandenreich to protect his family he didn't get to pick who he worked with. Liltotto and he worked together for a time and did do well as a team. He didn't sense intent ill or otherwise for him, he was more often then not paired with Hulderic. Some said it was Hulderic's personal request that he get to use Ghislain. However it's under his own belief that it was more that nobody else was willing to bring him back alive including Liltotto.

Bazzard Black: He doubts Bazzard would ever remember but he saved him from facing down an enemy well out of his league. That war was brutal and without so much as a second thought Bazzard came in and simply took over a fight, he wasn't someone that got much respect from Ghislain. But this act did help him gain a better amount from him. He was a cruel and sadistic bastard like the rest. But Ghislain felt somewhere in Bazzard was a nice guy, he suffered from the traditional arrogance that they were known for. It wasn't as though there was much more involved in the Vandenreich. They had some members who were humble, but it was such a rare trait that it barely deserved to be spoken about. Ghislain remembers seeing it perhaps once that Bazzard did have a kindness and concern for those under him. It didn't matter who they were, he did care about who they were and what events troubled them. But he did it in his own way that was rare in itself.

Cang Du: A man he did respect to some extent, other ways the man was a strange one. Cang was honorable and didn't attack his enemies from behind and had a very fascinating ideal in Ghislain's opinion. Knowing him briefly allowed him to have talks about ideals with Cang on one evening. This perhaps allowed him to fight in a way quite different then what most would ever expect. Cang was loyal and honest above all else, it was something that Ghislain could respect. It was a rare trait that he could respect anyone in this organization at this point. No one existed with the right characteristics almost for him to trust and fully know. His relationship with the Sternritter is a well documented thing as he grew into power that would earn him a place in the future. Cang was one of few who predicted that someday Ghislain would end up in the Sternritter or better. Part of it came from that Cang had seen the power that Ghislain often didn't use for anything.

Quilge Opie: The man he knows little about from all of the factors that were known to him at the time. His opinion of the feared hunting Captain is low perhaps lower then it's been for anyone who served Yhwach. Cruelty and misguided belief that people should of been sharper then they really were. It left him angry and disliking the trap that he'd been placed in as a child. His beliefs were tested several times when dealing with Quilge. However the two's interactions were small to almost none since he had almost no desire to speak to the male. He kept to himself and tried avoiding any contact with him when he could. Hulderic kept him busy, while he disliked both parties. The keeping him away from Sternritter did help him grow and evolve so he is partly thankful. He heard stories among the Solat's about how they were treated and some saw people die from Quilge and other members. Where they simply flat out killed a person simply for a little mistake. Something that they believed they would never of done, it made him hate the place more.

Gerard Valkyrie: Rare as it was this was another being he did get along with mostly. Gerard helped him at one point when he crossed paths with a dangerous being during the war. The Eleventh Division Vice Captain at the time, someone he simply couldn't contend with. Gerard was a man worth helping when he could as he looked out for the people. Compassion existed within this man thus, Ghislain had a very high opinion of him. Gerard said sorry to him for the way he got pulled into the war. Ghislain's recruitment was less then kind as his families lives were put on the block. It was either he help or they died, though at first many doubted his strength. Till he bested several Sodats with little effort and even pushed back a powerful hollow. Gerard did seem to pity the situation in which he was brought in. Compassion was a rare trait in this blood thirsty group seeking revenge and all out war for Yhwach.

Dmitri Eberhart: His beloved father whom spent many evenings with Ghislain, teaching him the Eberhart fighting method. His father and he shared a wonderful bond as father and son. He was taught many things and shown the world by his father, who discussed many of the Quincy lives. His father passed on the interest about the Quincy who lived back before them into his son. Ghislain lived a very good life as he was treated fairly and kindly by his father. His father did teach him right from wrong and those lessons remained with him from his youth. While he was taken away at a rather young age, it wasn't before the boy was taught the lessons needed of a young man who would lead one day.

Helene Eberhart: His loving mother who taught him that sometimes the easy way and right way weren't the same thing. She made him aware of what it meant and the woman was an absolute angel in every aspect. His mother helped those who had less then they did and even showed many people how to handle medicine. While many aspects of his family were fine and natural, the Quincy blood in their veins didn't help them stay alive. Perhaps not as much as it did for him, he was something of a strange case. While his mother and father rest in peace, they both did great things for him. Growing up in the household he did allowed him to become a better man then most would ever expected. A Quincy capable of seeing the faults and troubles of his power. It was well known that he would become the Eberhart head by all who knew him. Specially when his body stopped aging physically at one point. His mother had a profound effect on him that taught him a leader must be kind. They need to put others before themselves to even be remotely effective.

Draco Eberhart: His younger brother, a rival and source of competition at all times. These two raced everywhere and did everything together, inseparable till the day Draco died. Yhwach killed him and took away something precious from the Eberhart family. In hopes to force them to join, he planned to do more till the deal was made with Ghislain. However, the loss of his precious brother hurts him to this day. Wondering if he'd made his power known faster if he'd survived the ordeal. It's not something he has a guilt for, merely a pondering. As someone who's lived for so long, he learned to put the matter behind him. The fond memories of time spent with Draco keep him moving forward as the Eberhart continue to build and grow. A picture of his family where his brother sat in front is in the room. It always stands out as a glowing ideal that never was lost to him. Draco was a good boy with an honest heart who followed it and died for what he believed in. That is what helps Ghislain get to sleep at night.

Genoveva Eberhart: His twin sister, the two share much in common down to their thoughts. It was believed they were going to be the strongest of the family. Genoveva was a powerful and strong woman with an honorable spirit. His sister was something else, the two could hold conversations that went all over the place. But it simply was part of who they were, a connection forged between the two allowed them to do so. The strong bond between Brother and Sister is something, especially when they are twins. He never had a poor thought of his sister. In his life, he has thought of her like a brilliant light which shines for the world to see. This is the image she always brought to mind. His sister had a beautiful heart and mind that guided her and the family far. She brought many things forward for them, with him gone she became the head of the family. Ghislain was proud his sister took the role, but it was decided he would be the head of the family next. Ghislain loved her dearly but sadly had to bury her as well.

Adolf Weisman: The man who taught him to fight, he showed him that a Quincy was more than a bow. He taught him hand to hand and sword fighting moves. He had a high respect for his master, who described the styles as a means to an end. However, Adolf showed him the path to the possibility as he called it. The two shared an immense friendship and often times were together training. It was lessons that fueled his desire to become better. A teacher is something precious, perhaps something that could guide them in the end. Adolf indeed taught him the way of war and how to conduct it. The way a warrior should be and how they should fight, all lessons passed to him by Adolf. It was clear that Ghislain was an eager young boy merely learning to fight. Eager to do it as a child he wanted to be the best. His brother and family needed him to be strong. No greater purpose existed then war. So often Adolf tried to teach him that wasn't the correct mindset. War was the last resort, but that naive boy never did get it. Only when he got older did the lesson sink in properly.

Levi Eberhart: Uncle Levi, the snake bastard who killed Draco and Adolf. Levi solid the family out too Yhwach, it wasn't a deed that was forgiven. Anger still resonates within him over that senseless killing. Uncle Levi was a man who lived life about him and only him. He sold his family and their friend out simply for a couple coins. He didn't care about them or how it effected them. The bastard didn't even care about the death of Draco, it was all about the money. Ghislain never did forgive him, though he never had too either. Since Ghislain killed Levi it made little difference in the long run. That day Ghislain killed his uncle, telling him to spend his coin in hell. This is why the deal was struck that he would go. His family would be left alone, but the cost and amount of blood spilled was high. This was a price that Ghislain had never been willing to pay to begin with. However life is cruel and Uncle Levi was simply a bastard.

Ivan Vasileyvich:His best Friend and perhaps the person who lead him to find his way as a good person fully. Ivan proved to him that the Vandenreich wasn't hopeless that good people did exist in that place. No matter how much he hated it, destroying it wasn't the answer. Their people needed hope and in some form or another. A beacon of peace and perhaps what they could be. Quincy were guardians of humanity at one point. His promise to Ivan remains something very relevant in his mind. No matter what the world throws his way, he has to see the good the Quincy are capable of. It's all very important to him as the hatred he held for that place almost overcame him. Ivan prevented him from becoming lost in the darkness and a mindless killing machine. Because of Ivan in large part Ghislain is who he is today. It helped transform him into a better man with better morals and code of conduct. Ivan is someone Ghislain respects and will always care about, his friend is gone now. But will forever live on in Ghislain's memories.

Elizabeth Vasileyvich: No creature as beautiful as her has existed in his memory. His lovely wife Elizabeth was a beautiful woman. She lived a long and happy life teaching him, she had been his best friend's sister. The two forged a bond through Ivan, the two knew that Ghislain was destined to be great. But perhaps at the time they focused on healing that wounded heart of his. Ghislain loved Elizabeth more then life itself, she was his entire world for many years. The two had a marriage spanning over ninety years before she passed away. While he didn't age and she did, this made their relationship perhaps one simply not meant to be. It was a sad fact but in his life Ghislain had to bury most of those who were dear to him. It was something he couldn't help but hate in a way. However you know a purpose exists, his wife healed his heart and made him learn to be a good person in new ways. Everyday is a gift and it must be treated as such, live life as a human and see just how amazing it is.
