His bottoms are white denim pants that are noted to be similar to cotton. He is usually seen barefoot.

## Personality

Bastian is a battle-loving, free spirited mage that is often compared to a barbarian as opposed to a magical scholar. He is extremely confident in his abilities to the point of being seen as cocky. However, it is revealed that he often uses it as a way to hide his insightfulness. A trait that causes him to question the ulterior motives and true purposes behind decisions or plans. Even if it involves superiors. Something that results in Bastian exhibited rebellious behavior against authoritative figures.

## Magic and Abilities

**Giant** (巨人(ジヤイアント) *Jiyaianto*): Bastian is extremely proficient with his signature magic, Giant and has made its thaumaturgical pursuit his life's goal. He is able to grow his body to titanic proportions or use spells that restrain its explosive augmentation in various ways in order to create amplified forms that are both sustainable and specialized. Bastian's study into Giant has allowed him to achieve localized invocation as well as apply principles he derived from elemental magics. One such concept he frequently draws upon is the administration of Giant's enhancing properties upon his body without incantation or spell-naming in a manner he describes akin to an elemental mage creating their chosen element. This takes the form of creating and boosting his musculature in a specific area by sparking his magic into existence in its rawest form and confining it. Allowing it to exist freely while only monitoring how much of it he creates.

* **Samson** (サムソン *Samuson*): Bastian's signature spell where he applies Giant's augmentative properties onto his entire being but restrains the volatile growth. It increases his overall musculature, enhances bodily functions and triggers a state of 100% efficiency using his magic to continuously recreate damaged muscle tissue faster than its destruction. The result is Bastian growing in size while entering an artificial physical prime. Bastian's hair darkens and he obtains a maturer appearance.

**Immense Strength**: Bastian has garnered infamy for his monstrous strength. So much so, he's accomplished abnormal physical feats even without the usage of his signature magic which is further enhanced by his natural abilities. Bastian was able to easily catch the enlarged foot of S-Rank Dark Mage Fenris Valdyr with a single hand who was under the influence of a reflected Giant spell.

## Equipment

**Bastian's Mantle:** It is a mantle that Bastian has had since his younger days as a noble. It is a fur lined cape that he holds dear.
