Let's give this a go! (Mainly 'cuz I imagine that Averill and Laguna would end up as, like, massive bros.)
Character Listing:
[Roaming Bow] - Controls the ground with mid-to-long range bow attacks.
Bravery Attacks:
Quick Nock - Averill pelts the area in front of him with arrows, covering a small area. [Chase]
Quote - "I can't miss!"
Venomous Bite - A single, light shot from long range. Foe suffers DoT if they are hit.
Heavy Shot - A short to mid-range shot, useful for knocking foe back. [Wall Rush]
Quote - "Watch out!"
Shadowbind - Non-damaging, but ties the foe to the ground for a short duration.
Windbite - A special shot that launches the foe upon hit.
Follow-up: Barrage - Averill darts about his foe, pelting them with arrows. [Floor Rush].
EX Mode:
EX Burst -Â Clean Shot:Â
[A powerful, single shot. Keep the foe at a distance for greater damage!]
The way this would work would be a bit like Feral Chaos's EX Burst. For a set duration, Averill begins charging the attack in a special arena, and must do all he can to keep away from his opponent. The further they are at the end of the duration, the greater the bravery damage of the first hit is. It is then followed by HP damage.
EX Effects:
Regen: Vigor and stamina recover little by little, restoring HP.
Critical Boost: Increases chance of bravery attacks dealing critical hits.
Repelling Shot: [R+Square] A HP attack that causes Averill to jump back a large distance, giving him extra manoeuvrability.Â
Swiftsong: Sharply increases movement speed.
EX Quotes:
Activating EX Mode: "These boots have seen more roads than most!"
Repelling Shot: "Off I go!"
Beginning EX Burst: "I'd start running. No, not you!"
End of EX Burst: "This tale's... [shoots] finished!"
Pre-battle:
1. "I'm set when you are!"
2. "I don't normally fight people..."
3. "Take care - I'm a quick shot!"
4. "Can't we talk instead?"
Low HP at Beginning 1: "My boots are wearing thin..."
Low HP at Beginning 2: "Not yet - come on!"
Against a Strong Foe 1: "Just another roadblock!"Â
Against a Strong Foe 2: "Heh, how about a drink after?"
Against a Weak Foe 1: "I really wouldn't."
Against a Weak Foe 2: "Alright then! You asked for it!"

Penelo comment:
"He's nice, but he's too curious! Can't we just chat normally!?"
This was great fun! It got me thinking about all the relationships he might have in a game like this. As an added bonus, here's the song that would play as his battle theme:
