Help with a Balthier character?

Hey

I just got the game, and for my first run through i want to make a character based on Balthier of Final Fantasy XII; the games blend of magic, tech/guns and such gave me the urge to buy the game to play through with this idea.

Still, just having got the game and not exacly being good with file-editting, i'm having trouble making a custom Portraits and Backgrounds.

For the Portrait i am cropping this image; so just his head, upperchest and most of his gun are visible. [url="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r242/Lindzeh/FFXII/Balthier/Balthier.jpg"]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r242/Lindzeh/FFXII/Balthier/Balthier.jpg[/url]

For the background, i've gotten...
Spoiler
Sky Pirate: A young man running away from his past with the dream of exploring the skies, to do as he wants when he wishes, and get rich in the process; he became a Sky Pirate. Only, he is a "Sky" Pirate without a ship, something he works tirelessly to fix with little success. Liberating a ticket for the maiden voyage of the IFS Zephyr from a foolish noble, the witty "Leading man" decides to take a break from his Airship hunting to simply relax...
But i need advice for his stats. Obviously he needs to start with a Rifle of some sort, since its his trademark weapon (and some bullets). Firearm skill + of course, maybe 10/15? Charisma is a must since Balthier is so sarcastic and witty. A small bonus in Appearence since he is the "handsome" style of Pirate. Other than that i'm not sure.

Advice?

Thanks for the advice guys, really helped me out :p

His stat boosts might be a little high (most histories seem to be a little more subtle) but since i have never played through the game before, i'd rather have stats that are a little too high but are like the character, rather than stats that are too low and make me feel like he isnt true to character.

I think i'll take him for a spin :D

Lol, I like the idea, but don't you think that you've made him a bit too powerful for a first level character? :)
