Baast’s history is rather simple and mundane. His Selenian mother married a human man, and nine-ish months after their second Life Day together, he was born. Surrounded by grandiose architecture iconic in Estle City and even notable in some smaller Selenian settlements, Baast took a fondness for archaeology and anthropology, which he studies at Estle City’s university. He stumbled across working at Les Lekku et Vous during a heated argument with a girl named Lezli, who happened to be in a history course with him. By the time he realized that he was in the shop, the owner was taken by how he could ruffle the redhead’s feathers and was offered a job — one that was, to his dismay, subordinate to Lezli.
As someone who has spent most of his waking hours either studying ancient civilizations or playing hologames, Baast can easily come off as an arrogant “smartypants”. Often though, he is right, because he is just as smart as said pants might imply. He is not lacking in people skills and recognizes when to be polite and when to be more “normal” in his approaches. As such, despite his subordinate position to Lezli in the store, he constantly argues with her over school subjects, where he is the senior member. Romantically, Baast is heterosexual, though he’s often too buried in his studies to maintain, or even start, a stable relationship.
