**Name: **Kimiko Schwarz Wakahisa - Nacht **Nickname: **Swan, Grimm, That monster, ... depending on who you ask and how much they know about her **Age: **17 **Gender: **Female **Race: **Faunus (Swan) **Appearance: ** [Mugshot](http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/282/5/5/schwarz_nacht_by_nohiki-d827flt.png) [Front](http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/295/f/b/schwarz___battledress_by_nohiki-d83ruym.png) [Alternate](http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/292/f/a/schwarz___alternate_costume_by_nohiki-d83heyc.png) *Height: 178 cm* *Weight: 58 kg* *Wing span: 160 cm* The wings are usually concealed under her jacket, held by a special piece of clothing. It needs to be taken off if she wants her wings to unfold. **Personality: ** Schwarz doesn't actively seek out conversation but she will not shy away from one. The girl is patient and overlooking many things addressed to her faunus side, but she has her limits. Whereas normally she is well mannered and will go out of her way not to offend people no matter what she may think of them, in a fight or when angered, she is dominated by her emotions, not her reason. While her anger is cold and calculated, you do not wish to *enrage* her, as if you push her that far, she will lose all sense and just go berserk on you. She hates the monsters of Grimm with a fiery passion, although rich people are pretty high on the list as well. Despite how she was treated, she is trying to be forgiving, believing it's the only way to achieve some degree of peace in the world. **Weapon: **Swansong [3D](http://p3d.in/tyrAn)  A swordwand that can be converted from one to the other simply by sliding the guard down the hilt. This action also retracts the sharp half of the blade into the blunt one. As such, the weapon is primarily designed for stabbing attacks, rather than slashing. The guard and counterweight can hold dust crystals, and Schwarz is particularly fond of the fire ones. The weapon seems to be reflecting shadows rather than light. **Semblance: **Grimm shadow  Schwarz's body becomes and intangible shadow with a faceplate similar to a grimm, while her voice gains a creepy reverb to it. Her weapon is also surrounded in the same substance of white color. In this state, Schwarz can not be physically harmed, however she still hurts the same. If the 'damage' is sufficient, she will forcibly revert back to normal, more often than not incapacitated by hurting as much as if she was actually dealt the blows. A weapon she is holding in this state becomes stronger against Grimm, the white shadow interacting with them like acid. **Strengths: ** - Schwarz is capable of dishing out powerful attacks directed at a single target, making her a great duelist. - Especially strong against Grimm. - While her wings are too small for her to fly, they are big enough to make her jump higher or farther than others. - As a faunus, she has a large amount of disdain gained form years of being treated like second caste citizen. **Weaknesses: ** - Her stamina is very low and Schwarz tires rapidly. - Can't hit anything that isn't a Grimm in her semblance state. - Without Swansong, she isn't anywhere near the fighter she usually is, relying on her superior agility to escape and regroup. - Her wings pretty much hurt constantly when hidden and are easy to break due to their bones being hollow. - If enraged, she loses all sense and goes berserk. **Voice Actor: **Colleen Clinkenbeard **Theme:** [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80XAJKqRU9k) **Trivia: ** - Schwarz is ambidextrous. - She is bi, leaning towards girls. - Hates cold and rain. - Loves coffee and marzipan. - Reacts really badly to being called an angel. - Her aura manifests as falling quills.

**NCP: Teacher** Name: Vio Rirahk Age: 29 Gender: Male Race: Faunus (Bat) Appearance: Vio is garbed in the common Academy Professor's clothing, although he's discarded the coat, instead using a dark blue/purple sleeveless jacket, unzipped and hood over his head. The hood has holes for the large bat-like ears to pop out of. Shirt sleeves rolled up, no tie, strange and decorated glove on his right hand, with storage and function capabilities. A strange symbol rests on the back of the hand of the glove. Vio also wears tall leather boots, colored black with some dark purple parts and edges. Standing at 6', he is a little on thin side of physical figure, with slender proportions. His eyes are a deep magenta, full of life and excitement, apparent also in his ever present grin. Personality: Vio is childish, if anything. A deep love of youth and fun, he seeks after fun and new with vigor. Immature but understanding, graceful and flexible, he cares for others, but usually puts his own small desires first, and would bystand almost any boring situation. Although he appears unfocused and easily distracted, Vio is quick witted and eager. Weapons: Unknown Semblance: Unknown Strengths: Flexible, quick, precise. Vio is unpredictable and excited, described by some as a barrel of fun. Weaknesses: Weak, frail. Vio can be extremely annoying to most people.

**NPC: Student** Name: Leona Firehart Nickname: Leo Age: 15 Gender: Female Race: Faunus (Lion) Appearance: Leona is a little shorter than most, but thats due to her age. She has tan color straight short hair which waves slightly at the ends, and vivid silver eyes. Her skin is a darker shade than her hair, with a surprisingly sizeable bust, D-cup, given her age. She also has lion ears at the top of her head, with a lion's tail at her rear. Leona wears a dark red sleeveless shirt with baggy jeans, leather armor crops on her shoulders. She wears fingerless brown leather gloves, and wears simple heavy boots, loosely tied. Personality: Leona is straightforward and brash, but is kindhearted while being rough at the same time. With strangers she is assertive, happy and carefree, not caring about what people would say about her heritage. Around friends, she is a bundle of joy and laughter, but will usually make a joke of herself to save friends some embarrassment, something she doesn't know of. Usually stubborn and obstinate, she is often gullible and easily tricked with something she's not sure of herself. Weapons: Chinese Martial Arts: Leona has been trained in Chinese martial arts, but has mixed it in with some street fighting after dropping out with 5 years of training, making her not a master, but adept in martial arts, still a very dangerous opponent in close combat. Semblance: Chi Volley: With such a strong body, Leona relies on nothing but her own fists, and every other part of her body she can use in a fight. Because of this, her body is sturdier than most. Using her own natural and metaphysical energy, also known as Chi, she can channel and fire off chunks of pure energy. She does this mainly with her punches, kicks, and almost any other movement, the speeding volley in the shape of whatever she used to generate it. It hits as hard as her own fists do, which even on their own do as much damage as normal weapons. Strengths: Obstinate, very strong in close combat, almost unstoppable, optimistic and energetic Weaknesses: Foolish, gullible, stubborn and can never sit still.

**NPC: Student** Name: Saurodrinn Penanse Age: 18 Gender: Male Race: Human Appearance: Saurodrinn is a giant, tall and strong. He is almost always garbed in a heavy cuirass with metal gauntlets and greaves, fair skin and a noble face, blue eyes filled with devotion and duty. Saurodrinn's brown hair is combed back and tied in a small ponytail, with 5 o'clock shadow which he refuses to shave off completely. Battle scars are scattered across his body, though almost all of them are hidden beneath golden and black clothing and silvery white armor. Personality: Saurodrinn is a good hearted individual, once you get past the harsh front of a warrior. He believes in justice and nothing else, but because of this his view can become shrewd in other's eyes. Polite and calm, proud and selfless, but he never becomes emotionally attached to anything, including friends. Still, he is honest and kind with those close to him, and his trust is placed most in his weapons. Always on guard, always ready for anything, he never really settles down, despite the fact that he would say he never needs to. Weapons: Judgement and Verdict: His sword, which he has deemed Divine Verdict, is a great sword he can wield one handedly with his immense strength. Sometimes, he will choose to wield it with both hands, for better speed, force, and overall control. There isn't much else thats special about it aside from the fact that it retracts greatly for easier carrying. His shield, Divine Judgement, however, is a truly unique shield. It has multiple curved spikes on the face, while it is large, heavy and durable. Utilizing dust, he can launch the entire shield, except for the handle, of which it is tethered to. Saurodrinn can also retract the shield, or, with the use of his semblance, send himself to where his shield is grappled. Semblance: Magnify Friction: Saurodrinn can heavily fortify the friction between two touching objects to become near inseparable. He uses this mainly to technically glue his feet to the ground to prevent being knocked back, while also utilizing it on his shield when he fires it off, attaching it to a wall allowing himself to move there as if it were a hookshot. It can also be used to make climbing much easier, even potentially wall walking. He can magnify the friction between two surfaces on a maximum of 3 different targets at once. Strengths: Saurodrinn is extremely strong and durable, possesses great endurance, and is skilled with the sword and shield and greatswords. He's also loyal to friends, selfless, obstinate and not almost impossible to deceive. Weaknesses: Slow movements and attacks, easily read and predicted. He is also rather narrow minded, stubborn and arrogant. Theme Song: [Soul Society](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDubchjrz1I)

**NPC: Student** Name: Aashaln Fiaron Age: 17 Gender: Male Race: Human Appearance: Aashaln has strangely pale skin, slightly messy hair that extends down to his shoulders that seems to contain varying shades of grey, though it is not often seen as he wears a hood at all times. His eyes are an extremely unusual shade of orange, which seem to resonate with a sense of indifference with a strange tinge of subtle anger. He is garbed completely in thick, slightly baggy leather clothing, straps here and there to ensure nothing comes loose. Personality: Aashaln is very unusual. It's like he prefers to not exist, just be a silent observer, usually ignoring most who attempt conversation with him. He keeps to himself most of the time, but when with friends, he's almost always wise but strangely distant at the same time. Its a sight that's too rare, but he does laugh and smile at times, although his thoughts are almost never so cheerful. Despite this, he's not a pessimist. If asked if a glass is half empty or half full, he would always answer "It's at half capacity.". His serious nature is another thing which drives most people off. Weapons: Red Dust: His main weapon of choice is Dust. He utilizes dust to conjure two identical and unusually shaped short [swords](http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/302/3/4/my_first_weapon_creation__daedric_sword__by_sh4de17-d5jcrww.png), which can remorph almost instantly and combine into a [bow](http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120512225549/elderscrolls/images/e/ef/Daedricbowskinned.png). The ammunition is more dust, so he has to restock rather often. Semblance: Ignite: Aashaln can ignite and cover in flame any part of his body, clothing, or weaponry without damaging them. He uses this mainly to burn projectiles as they fly towards him, waving his arm while enflaming it, leaving a trail of fire, while also igniting his arrows as they depart, and his swords as he attacks. He will overload it, causing his entire body to go up in flames of intense heat, though he can only do this for a short time. Strengths: Focused, swift, and extremely lethal and damaging in combat. Although he never shows it, he is helpful and insightful to others, he is almost always supportive and encouraging of others, though he still maintains the serious demeanor. Weaknesses: Fragile and unstable, will often end up hurting his teammates, though he tries his best not to. Too harsh and serious, very poor social skills.

**NPC: Student** Name: Zyramos Blaist Age: 17 Gender: Female Race: Human Appearance: [mugshot](http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/48738088235946786/73CB7FB9A96255AC928A4A5D706ECD8D0BE5D7DA/) Personality: Zyramos is spirited and fiery, if anything. She loves a good fight, and even has her own rule of standards that she believes all who fight should follow by. While they may seem cruel, she sees them as just, accepting them if she were to meet the short end of the stick. Optimistic and almost always socializing with people in order to spur an honorable fight, she can fit into almost any crowd, until she starts talking about combat. She can't help it, its one of her greatest passions. Although stubborn and illogical, Zyramos remains friendly and energetic in almost all situations. Weapons: Pogankrii: A massive and cruelly shaped battle axe, her weapon of choice is indeed deadly and intimidating. It folds up into a somewhat large and heavy batch of metal that attaches to the back of her waist for convenience, but can whip it out into full form in almost a second, a quality to her liking. Although it is suited and crafted only for close combat, it is still a force to be reckoned with. Those that fought her suggested fighting her at a distance, although she is capable of closing it somewhat quickly. Semblance: Lycanthropy: Zyramos can take on the form of a werewolf, completely in black fur with an odd, simplified symbol in silver fur on her back. In this form, she is a little bigger than a common Beowolf, but with an astonishing amount of power and agility, while endurance relies purely on her hunger. In this form, Zyramos becomes more rabid, kicking into her natural most basic survival instincts, causing her attacks to be sloppier but stronger. Strengths: Extremely strong in close combat, resistant to pain and swift, a mighty foe in battle. She can be brash, assertive and blunt, but usually energetic and friendly, always up for a fight. Weaknesses: Battle thirsty, Zyramos can go overboard in any fight, often not stopping in a simple practice fight until forced to by staff on hand. Careless and ignorant to any harm to her, and usually others, seeing injury as an opportunity. Theme Song: [All Nightmare Long](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeE1Y8S6jVc)

[Name: Kuhaku Kuroshi](http://th07.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2011/198/8/c/8c7d78eccbcffd082c192f779503d514-d3z86k0.jpg "Appearance") Age: 18 Gender: Male Race: Faunus (Black Tiger-based) **Personality:** Quiet to the point of avoiding social interaction and refusing to speak unless absolutely necessary, he keeps to himself and prefers to work alone. His disdain for interaction extends so far that he constantly wears a terrifying metal face mask with vicious teeth and fangs to deter anyone from speaking to him. Not only does this mask hides most of his facial expression, but it also serves the practical purpose of quieting the sound of his voice and mutes the sound of his breathing. He especially avoids any contact with Humans, showing slight preference in dealing with those of his own kind. [Weapon: "Jack"](http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs39/f/2008/345/a/7/Prince_Of_Persia_Gauntlet_by_EpitaphOfTwilightCe.jpg "Kuhaku's Weapon")He wears a pair of metal claw gauntlets that have a few unique properties. Within the knuckles of his gauntlets are pressure plates that whenever he strikes something, actuates an internal pneumatic piston within. The pneumatic piston then drives forward a massive metal spike that can puncture with enough force to crush bone and pierce armor. One punch = Two punishing hits, with the spikes retracting and resetting immediately after punching out. Attached to the spikes are strong chains that wrap around the entire length of his arms and connect to each other behind his back in a mechanical winch, acting as a harness. Aiming his gauntlets, he can fire the spikes attached to the chains and embed them within whatever he fired them at. He can utilize this to maneuver himself or as a sort of ranged attack, retaining the ability to retract his spikes and chains. As a final touch, his gauntlets are socketed with Dust Crystals that he can swap and change at will to utilize any range of elemental Dust ability in conjunction with his Semblance, a [b]rotating band[/b] on his gauntlets allowing him to quickly switch between elemental types. **Semblance: Trap Glyphs** - With his touch, he can leave behind a 'glyph' of varying size depending on its required application. 'Charging' the glyph with the Dust inlaid within his gauntlets, he can set up hidden elemental traps up to a maximum of [b]5[/b] glyphs at any given time. The glyphs fade away and disappear after [b]100[/b] meters, their maximum effective range. They also require [b]manual activation[/b] which is done when he pops/cracks a corresponding knuckle on either hand. Explosive Fire Glyphs to burn and destroy. Lightning Glyphs to paralyze and stun. Ice Glyphs to slow and freeze, and etc. **Strengths:** Physically strong, fast, and agile he excels in close hand-to-hand combat. Typically hiding within the shadows, he'll observe his opponents and attempt to learn their weaknesses before waiting for the most opportune moment to strike. He'll then attempt to rapidly close the distance between his target and take his target out as quickly as possible, in as few strikes as possible. He prefers setting up complex traps, ambushes, and using guerrilla tactics to fight from relative stealth. He is analytical, intelligent, and patient when it comes to fighting, carefully planning out his attacks for speed and efficiency. He'll even attempt to read and predict his opponent's future moves. As a Faunus, he has a heightened sense of sight, smell, and hearing, giving him all the tools he needs to truly live up to the title of future 'Hunter'. **Weaknesses:** He lacks endurance and is unable to sustain himself over drawn out conflicts which is why he prefers to end fights as quickly as he can. Because he specializes in hand-to-hand combat, he has nearly no way of combating enemy fighters at range. Requiring him to close the distance between him and his quarry before he can effectively engage them. Other than his 'Charging' of his Semblance's Glyphs with Dust, he has no knowledge of utilizing Dust in any other way. Randomly, he is also subject to intense fits of blinding rage where any planning and strategy goes out the window should anyone touch a nerve or push the wrong button with him. Mostly, he tries to keep his emotions and thoughts in check, being calm and cool as best he can. Other than the metal of his gauntlets, he wears no other armor and has no other defensive measures. [b]Should an ambush or sneak attack fail, he can no longer resort to using any stealth-based attacks or tactics. The metallic composition of his equipment make them extremely noisy the moment he engages in combat after laying in wait.[/b] [All credit goes to Nitro+Chiral for the character artwork and to Ubisoft for the weapon design!]

Name: Ravira Tudios Age: 15 Gender: Female Race: Human Appearance: (Sorry, no image at this time; I haven’t had time to make one) Ravira is very slightly taller than average, standing at 5’5” and already finished growing. She’s 120 pounds, but with a classic pear shape; she has skinny arms and a thin shoulders, average breasts, a high waist, and larger buttocks and thighs. Her fashion sense and armor tend to balance or hide her proportions, though, so she generally does a good job of avoiding rude comments about her shapeliness. Ravira just started wearing full armor after the initiation. She wears plate breastplate, shoulder and leg guards, and greaves; all over an undersuit of chainmail. Only her hands and face are uncovered; her hands because she needs them free to attack, and her face because she puts down her armored hood and mask while not in combat. Oh… and she’s only got one arm. Ravira recently lost her left upper appendage in an accident. She ties up the left sleeve of whatever she’s wearing so that it doesn’t flop about quiet so much. Personality: Ravira is a happy-go-lucky, slightly crazy, fun individual. She makes friends easily and does everything with them; she seems to dislike being alone, so she’ll often tag along with whomever happens to be doing the most fun thing for the next few hours. Ravira is also very adamant in her beliefs. She’s like that one kid on campus who won’t stop telling you that you need to join the Church of Latter Day Saints, and she’s willing to argue with anyone at any time. It’s not because she dislikes you, it’s just that you’re wrong, and she simply must fix that! But Ravira isn’t all fun and friendliness; if you want her to do something that she’s morally against, she’s not going to do it with you. If you stand in the way of doing what she thinks is right, she might just bowl you over. It’s possible that getting out of the way and nodding with fake enthusiasm might save you from her puny wrath at some point. Or, maybe you could just take it, and laugh at how much it tickles. Weapons: Ravira’s weapon is her magic; she can channel power wildly in a general direction and it might hurt someone if she manages to hit them enough. But that’s not particularly helpful. So, she uses a staff to channel her magic. This focuses her attack into a laser-like accuracy, while also providing the added benefit of allowing her to combine it with the power of Dust. Depending upon which type of Dust she slots, her attacks are granted additional effects. And she can whack things with her staff, but she’s not particularly good at the close combat thing. Semblance: Righteous Burst Ravira channels, building up power. She can choose a target to unleash this power on, providing the target with a shield proportional to the amount of power she has gathered. Not all of the power goes into the shield; the excess energy bursts out from her target, knocking back enemies and shielding allies with a power and radius proportional to the cast’s power. Strengths: Ravira makes friends easily Ravira has naturally high Aura, allowing her to tank extra damage and cast more spells than average Ravira wears heavy armor, further protecting her from incoming damage She has a lot of supportive ability Ravira can deal a lot of damage if the enemy leaves her alone and she’s able to channel her magic attacks uninterrupted Weaknesses: Ravira is missing an arm. Simple things that others take for granted can be difficult tasks for her Ravira has some antisocial tendancies that might make her quickly made allies wary of her Ravira is extremely stubborn, and if she thinks that something is the right course of action, she will be very hard to sway from it. She would rather waste everyone’s time arguing about something or throwing a fit than to cave Ravira has very low burst damage. All of her damage potential is over time, so she can’t really deal with someone who is attacking her directly Ravira has to stop attacking to channel her semblance; this makes her an especially bad solo combatant Ravira is not a decent close-combat fighter [Theme Song](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20035543/Random/Hymn.mp3)
