Lots of WIP, but thought I'd get something up
Name: Ivan Draklen
Age:17
Gender:Male
Species: Faunas- Great White Shark
Appearance:
Wears a mask most of the time to hide his mouth which stretches from ear to ear, three rows of shark teeth in it. Often is very self-conscious of the looks he gets from people who see it.
Personality: Ivan tends to be wary around most humans due to the secular nature of his clan. Most of his knowledge stems from stories told about the rebellions, with the few meetings due to business with the clan being either the terse payments from employers, or the frantic panicking of those found in sinking ships. those that can get him to open up will often find he is often full of curiosity, a interest in the world he has experienced little of, though he is well aware of his ignorance in many things and will often try to hide it behind a veneer of nonchalance.
Can tend to get a little excitable in battle and lose focus of others, focusing on a single target, leaving him open to multiple attackers.
History: Ivan's clan lives on the fringes of the city, preferring to make their homes on the coast and docks close to the ocean, playing clean up for the city. Every so often, aquatic Grimm will attack incoming ships full of cargo and such. As a group specially capable of handling the rigors of underwater exploration, the Draklens have been offering there services to the good people of the city to salvage what they can from, with a ten percent pay of what's recovered, with a $2000 payment for each survivor found and brought back. Ivan was quickly put into the family business at 13 when his semblance came to fruition, his ability to affect the density of objects allowing them to speed up the retrieval. He spent his first few years as part of the retrival crew, every now and again taking "tips" from certain shipments, slowly getting the pieces he need for his weapon from a few of the more military minded shipments.
Recently, however, the Grimm have been gathering around the wreckage, forcing his clan to increase defensive measure and moving Ivan to the Watchers, as one of the few members having a semblance increasing his effectiveness. His acceptance into Beacon actually came as a surprise to Ivan as he hadn't even sent in an application, and planned on declining. He'd never been a fan of crowds, preferring the company of his family. That plan was nipped in the bud quickly as he learned that his father had sent one in without his knowledge. They had been getting injured in almost every run now, and the last few had seen at least one death every time. So he father figured it would benefit the whole clan if they had a full-fledged hunter, suspending operations further than the coast until he graduates.
Semblance: Mass Manipulation- Has the ability to increase and decrease his mass at will. Uses this to wield a weapon much too large for most to handle by decreasing the weight of it, swinging it about in terrifyingly deft motions. By decreasing his own mass he can increase his mobility on the battlefield, leaping high and returning to mother earth with shattering results. Unfortunately, his body is much more vulnerable with decreased mass, hits feeling a lot harder than they would be, and increased mass tends to leave all maneuverability behind, leaving him open to more attacks, while not hurting as bad, tend to add up quickly.
Weapon: Jet Stream- a large flail attached to a retractable chain, extending up to 25 ft on the head of the flail. At the opposite end of the handle is a spiked grip, the chain on it being able to be shoot out up to twice the distance of the flail, piercing most objects. Ivan often uses it to move quickly about the battlefield, or to pierce a target and close quickly in on them. The flail houses multiple chambers to hold various cartridges of dust, usually preferring ice elements, which can be set off through the spikes of the flail.
By retracting the head of the flail and locking it in place, he can place his hand on the head of the flail which then envelopes his arm, allowing him to quickly use up his dust reserves as explosive rounds out of the enlarged barrel of the handle , usually allowing for up to 8 shots.
