History

Ramza Beoulve was born the bastard son of Barbaneth Beoulve. To his father’s great credit, he acknowledged Ramza, and as a result he received every privilege due to him as a member of the Beoulve family, a family of august nobility. Ramza lived a happy life as he grew up with Alma, his full sister, his childhood friend Delita Heiral, Delita’s sister Tietra and his two half-brothers, General Zalbaag and Dycedarg, who became the head of the Beoulve household and the Order of the Northern Sky upon his father’s death. Motivated by his father’s dying words, he graduated from the military academy and was given his first command within the Order of the Northern Sky in a campaign against the rebel group, the ‘Corpse Brigade’.

This campaign was an eye-opener for Ramza, as it showed him many truths about the military, nobility, and the common folk that shaped his life from thenceforth. While much could be written about it, in the end the result was that Tietra was killed, his best friend Delita was presumed dead, the Corpse Brigade put to rout, and Ramza’s squad deserted from the Order of the Northern Sky.

To avoid detection, Ramza began an association with a group of mercenaries led by the Fell Knight Goffard Gaffgarion. The group was at first hired to by Agrias Oaks to guard the Princess Ovelia Atkascha. It all began to go wrong when Delita Heiral turned out to be very much alive, and kidnapped the Princess Ovelia when the Order of the Southern Sky attacked Gaffgarion’s contingent. Despite Gaffgarion’s later betrayal, Ramza managed to recover the Princess. This leads to a series of unfortunate events in which Ramza, while trying to safeguard the Princess, manages to put her directly in the hands of the ones who sought to exploit her. Furthermore, he becomes mired in a plot by the Church of Glabados to recover the legendary Zodiac Stones, ‘holy’ artifacts which are in truth conduits to archdemons of the Underworld known as the Lucavi. While attempting to rescue Princess Ovelia from Cardinal Delacroix of the Church of Glabbados, Ramza learns the truth of the stones when one of them possesses the Cardinal. Transformed into a Lucavi of legend, Ramza is forced to destroy him. Shortly thereafter, the Church of Glabados accused Ramza of heresy.

And then the heartless attacked his world.

Ramza had been on the move ever since. Once again his soldiers took on the guise of simple sellswords, and he adopted the pseudonym Barbaneth Lugria in order to at least temporarily confuse the Church’s inquisitors. Recently, tragedy struck the braves when on a mission to Orbonne Monastery, they were engaged by a mysterious Templar with a Zodiac Stone. The darkness that the stone unleashed attracted hordes of heartless, flooding the monastery and routing the Braves nearly instantly. While in full retreat, Alma Beoulve fell into darkness and was lost.

While the loss of his sister was devastating, it has served only to strengthen his resolve.

Personality

Originally Ramza was a good soul that only wanted to live up to the expectations of his family name, and to do his father’s memory proud. This resulted in frequent role confusion at first during his clashes with the Corpse Brigade. As a result of his experiences though, he has become a selfless man with a strong sense of justice. While he still wishes to do his father proud, he does so by upholding his father’s ideals, not his name. Ramza feels a strong obligation to both his friends and family, and his strongest desire would be to live happily once again with Alma, and Delita.

Ramza however is not without his flaws. He frequently acts out of rash haste once he decides his choice is the correct course. His unit has fallen into a great many traps as a result. This is further complicated by the fact that Ramza has a tendency to be separated from the Braves and caught in an ambush alone. Ramza’s strong sense of justice also often diverts him from his true goal, and as a result he is typically too late to stop the villain’s plot. Whether it be considered a strength, or a weakness he is entirely uncompromising. Furthermore, Ramza does not see himself as a revolutionary, and does not seek acclaim or even gratitude as a result of his actions, and thus the populace of Ivalice generally believes the accusations that he is a dangerous heretic. As a result, Ramza has few true allies amongst those in power or the common folk throughout Ivalice.

Abilities

Non-Combat Abilities

Strategist: Through academy training, officer experience in the Order of the Northern Sky, and further mercenary experience post desertion; Ramza has become an exceptional strategist known for adapting on the fly. While he may rush headlong into the fire, his comrades trust him and he has a reputation for pulling them through impossible situations with minimal sacrifices.

Charisma: As a member of the renowned Beoulve family, Ramza's word carries a lot of weight. While he would be the first to refute any claims that his blood is meaningful, people are nevertheless drawn to him despite a notorious reputation.

Chocobo Handling: Ramza's handling of a Chocobo on the battlefield is impeccable due to his training and bond with his mount, Boco.

Combat Abilities

Jack of all Trades: Ramza has taken abilities in a myriad of jobs. He has been observed using Squire, Knight, Monk, White Mage, Black Mage, Ninja, Samurai, and Geomancer skills in battle. His weakness is perhaps that he has mastered none of them.

Unpredictable: Since Ramza has a wide breadth of combat skills, it is difficult to pin down his style. He prefers to think on his feet, adapting to suit the situation.

Soldier's Friend: Ramza typically prefers to support other soldiers and allies on the battlefield, bringing out their full potential.

Weapon Proficiencies: Ramza is ambidextrous and proficient in both armed and unarmed combat. While he's been exposed to nearly every kind of weapon in Ivalice, currently he carries a Cinqueda that he's dubbed /Grass/ and a Katana which remains peaceknotted in a Saya at all times.

Notable and Rumored Posessions

The Scriptures of Germonique: Within the scriptures is a true account of the founding of the Church of Glabados and the life of St. Ajora. The Church of Glabados has suppressed all knowledge of this manuscript, and thus only high ranking clergy and Templars who are actually involved in the conspiracy would even know it exists.

Taurus and Scorpio Zodiac Stones: Lower ranking members of the Church of Glabados may have been told that Ramza possesses the Taurus and Scorpio Zodiac Stones. In truth, he does not, but he does not deny it when accused of possessing them.

Boco

Ramza rides Boco, a yellow Chocobo which was formerly Wiegraf Folles' mount. Upon the defeat of the Corpse Brigade, Boco fled into the wild. Ramza by happenstance later came upon the Chocobo in the Araguay woods, and saved him from a horde of beasts. Boco was grateful for the rescue and formed a bond with Ramza almost immediately. While its doubtful that Ramza knows that this Chocobo is Wiegraf's former mount, by coincidence he too named him Boco.
