Name: Tommy Brown
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance:

Weapon Name: War Requiem
Weapon Appearance/Function:

It’s a shotgun with a bayonet that can be detached as a knife. He got the weapon as a gift from a machinist he knew, it’s two different mass produced weapons merged into one dull but effective package.
Weapon Derivation:



Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: Just keeps it on a sling on his back, no fancy case or transformation
Form(s): Either fights with them both together, or with the knife/knuckles on one hand and them shotgun in the other. Sometimes uses the stock of the shotgun as a club at close range. The knife can be swapped from the top of the knuckles to the front of them, allowing him to punch with it.


Semblance: When he’s on the verge of being knocked out, once per day he can get a second wind. He doesn’t heal or recover from his accumulated injuries at all, it merely dulls his pain allows him to remain conscious beyond his normal limits of durability. The strain on his body means that it takes him a full day to recover afterwards, he cannot do it again until he has had this time to recover.

Strengths: He’s very durable and physically strong. He never hesitates in battle, and fights at an intense pace that wears people down. His wild brawling style makes his attacks unpredictable because of their unpolished nature.

Weaknesses: Slow moving, fighting technique is sloppy and inaccurate, poor evasive abilities, less effective at long range, tends to rely on brute force rather than smart planning.

Personality: Tommy is almost never happy. He’s foul mouthed and impatient, and never learned proper etiquette. He hates cowards and people who give up easily, but will mock anyone for just about anything that he thinks is funny. He also doesn’t like to back down from challenges, even if this means making some very stupid decisions. Tommy doesn’t think about future consequences of his actions, he just sees the future as more of the same and lives day to day.

Tommy is also not one to hold grudges. Even if someone beat him badly in a fight, he’d still be happy to go out drinking with them. Though he dislikes people who won’t stand up for themselves, he also hates people who bully the weak. He’s extremely loyal to the few friends he has in this world.

History: Tommy was born in poverty in an industrial town. The smog and overcrowding meant that life was unpleasant, and as he grew older the town’s fortunes grew worse. An increase in Grimm activity and the depletion of local dust mines hurt the economy, and soon some of the factories began to close down. Tommy’s family didn’t have the money to pack up and move somewhere else, so they stayed as the area became more destitute and lawless. He grew up with little supervision or guidance, his father was a drunkard and his mother had chronic health problems. School never taught him anything useful, half the time he bothered to show up it was just to settle a score with somebody who angered him.

Street fights felt natural to him. He had plenty to be angry about in his life, and hitting something was a good way to relieve it, even if he took a beating in return. His natural toughness carried him for a while, over time he even managed to develop some skill beyond sheer tenacity. Tommy supplemented his income by working industrial jobs on the side, but the state of the town meant that they never lasted long. He never thought about the future, the only things he could look forward to was being old enough to buy liquor legally and get conscripted. Then he would be just another warm body in the trenches, holding off the Grimm who were slowly encroaching on his home.

His fortunes changed at least temporarily when a Huntsman came to visit the town. It was intended as something to boost morale, huge crowds gathered to see the Huntsman give inspirational speeches and demonstrate his fighting skills. Tommy had nothing better to do, so he spent his time heckling the man, constantly interrupting him and insulting him, just to see if he could provoke some sort of reaction. Perhaps motivated by Tommy’s disruption, the Huntsman laid out an open challenge, offering to fight anyone in the audience. Of course, Tommy was among the first chosen, and he fared extremely poorly. The huntsman was never in danger during the fight, and none of his attacks had any problem hitting Tommy. However, Tommy’s sheer tenacity dragged the fight out, and by the time he finally fell unconscious he had earned the respect of the Huntsman. The audience mocked Tommy for the one-sidedness of the fight afterwards, but a few weeks later he found himself accepted to Beacon. For the first the first time in years, Tommy had something to look forward to.

Name: Thaddeus Drakeblood

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Appearance: Thaddeus is quite tall, standing at 5’11”. He sports short, spiky red hair and brown eyes. His complexion is relatively pale, though not unhealthily so. Thaddeus wears a brown leather coat with his emblem inscribed on the back in red. He also wears a plain black shirt and black jeans (+ belt). His shoes are a pretty standard grey-and-black affair, though they’re armoured a little underneath. He also has lightly armoured fingerless gloves, which he wears in combat. The scabbard for his weapon rests on his back.



Strengths: Close range powerhouse, strong enough to swing his sword one handed. Artificially resilient, capable of fighting for prolonged periods of time. Will outlast most opponents. Typically uses brute strength and augments his sword attacks with unarmed strikes, keeping his fighting style varied. Being close to him is very dangerous and his attacks can conduct to an, ignoring defences to an extent as direct contact to him provides an opportunity to drain aura or shock them. Very good at fighting melee reliant enemies with aura buffs. Can be surprisingly fast by using his strength to jump around the battlefield.

Weaknesses: Lack of ranged attacks, only ranged attack is quite obvious and has a considerable charge time. Has trouble against fast opponents, though not immobile. Quite vulnerable to being kited, and can do little against ranged attacks outside of recklessly jumping at his attacker. Also very high profile as an attacker, and lacks defences.

Personality: Thaddeus is a pretty laid-back individual. He may come off as unmotivated, because he typically isn’t. Quite spacey sometimes, he likes making friends and he likes messing around with them, even if he can’t be bothered making that many. Outside of his friends, he’s quite friendly to strangers as well, though he’s certainly not as close. Despite his spacey exterior, he’s actually quite intelligent. It just doesn’t seem that way most of the time because he’s unconcerned by so many things. Despite that, he’s also quite curious when faced with new things. He doesn’t like rigidly structured things or close-mindedness.

History: Thaddeus was born to an ancient family of famous hunters, originating from an ancient influential hunter involved in the creation of society itself. Prestigious as it was, Thaddeus didn’t want any of it. Thaddeus was born as a second son in a family obsessed with combat strength. Constantly a disappointment, Thaddeus performed the bare minimum of combat training as a child, stating often that he couldn’t be bothered with it. His parents wanted him to train as much as his brothers, as he had some of the best potential out of any of his siblings, mostly due to his rather unique semblance. Thaddeus works to be a hunter mainly to get his family off his back, but he’s far more interested in seeing new things, whereas his family want him to become a hunter solely for the purpose of cementing their role as one of the most influential hunter families in the world.
