Baptiste

He has worked in this line for ten years, having carried people down from sixth-floor infernos and helped lost elderly women find their cats. With short brown hair, a neck tanned red from the sun, blue eyes, stubble on his chin, and shoulders wide enough to block a doorframe. Every year during the July 13th fire station balls, he is responsible for collecting the donation box at the entrance and making sure drunk patrons get into taxis.

Personality. Smiles often, warm-hearted, loud voice—can chat with anyone. Scratches the back of his head when praised. Reacts extremely fast to danger but is slow when it comes to feelings; likes someone for a long time before saying so. Protective: if he sees someone being bullied, he walks right over and stands between them. His catchphrase is "Don't worry." Once close, he uses a very soft tone when addressing people.
