Race: Faunus (Mute Swan)
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Nationality: Vale

Designation: Police academy cadet

Mikoto is part of a forming special unit. The hunterkillers are, as the name suggests, specially trained to take on hunters, who are the most respected fighters. Every time a hunter went rogue in the past has been a big problem, and unit like this is meant to contain the problem quickly.

Team: N/A

Appearance:
Mikoto stands circa 178 centimeters tall, with her platform boots giving her what she needs to 180. She is quite strong for her age, being successful in several combat competitions. She weighs about 63 kilos. Her most prominent faunus feature are the two swan wings on her back that have the span of about 200 cm (Full growth: 350cm).

Mikoto’s face is dominated by her piercing, bright red eyes. She has an eastern complexion, the slightly yellow skin tone contrasting with her anthracite hair that she usually keeps at shoulder length and well kempt. Her body build is focused more on strength rather than stamina, packing up quite some muscle mass and low fat percentage.

Her battledress consists of a pair of knee high, gray platform boots, black pants and blouse and a gray armored jacket. Coming from rich background, her battledress is trimmed in dark red and gold. She wears red padded gloves to battle. The jacket is modified to allow her wings to unfold and they can be held concealed by a special harness. The jacket comes equipped with magnetic holsters on the lower back for her weapons and several pockets.

When in need of more formal wear, she likes a red trench coat with matching high heels. She modified it to be able to conceal her wings and weapons underneath without looking out of place.

History:
Mikoto was born into the relatively average Kage family living in Mountain Glenn. A mixed family of Vacuo immigrants, her faunus side wasn’t obvious to anyone else in the first two years of her age, before her wings hit a growth spurt. Still, it was another year before she came to the usual faunus problems, having to attend mixed kindergarten.

She managed to bear with it for a year, but when she was four, she finally snapped and beat up one boy that made a comment, sending him to a doctor with a broken nose. She spent her days mostly alone since then as many of the children were afraid of her.

Just as she was about to go to the school for the first time, the first of the more fierce Grimm attacks struck their home town. Mikoto’s family perished in the attack. The girl’s semblance awoke with the intense emotions and she killed several smaller Grimm in a wild rage. She was sent to an orphanage in the main city of Vale, but spent her days mostly alone.

When she reached the age of ten, she was adopted by a wealthy family. While initially believing herself to be lucky, she quickly found out her adoptive ‘father’ only wanted her as a Faunus poster child to improve PR, having to adopt a new name against her wishes. While she was given anything money could buy, they didn’t give her the loving family she wanted the most. Her two stepsisters ignored and hated her respectively, but later she formed a love-hate relationship with the younger sister, sharing an interest in fighting and being grateful for the sister at least being honest about hating what she is.

At the age of twelve, Mikoto started attending one of the local combat schools, flat out rejecting being home schooled despite her stepfather’s insistence.

A few years later, her skill grown very good, and she started placing high in competitions. That lead to some media attention to the happiness of her stepfather. However, her story was soon brought to light, making her start withdrawing from people again. She turned to homeschooling and made an uneasy alliance with her younger step sister who was growing tired of her family as well.

After two years of working for the company to fund her plan, she set off to attend Beacon, severing all ties with her adoptive ‘family’ and intending to start again, on her own. Unfortunately, the Initiation proven once and for all that her combat skills were much more suited to fighting a human opponent rather than the Grimm. It had an unforeseen consequence for her though - the police department contacted her with an offer to join a newly formed unit where her skills would be of great use once she graduated from the police academy.

Personality:
Mikoto 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 and racists 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.

The girl battles many internal demons and even though she portrays herself as a strong person with a healthy dose of disdain, she’s rather fragile on the inside. What disturbs her more than most is the thought of losing someone close to her again. She also isn’t too fond of spiders and tight spaces. Her main motivation to keep on living is getting others to accept her because of who she is, not what she is.

In her downtime, she likes to power down and relax, whether that means sleeping all day, stuffing herself with bacon and coffee or reading tales of ancient mythologies with a glass (or a bottle) of rum on hand. If others have to be involved, she wouldn’t say no to a fantasy movie or (window) shopping. Mikoto has a weakness for sporty personal shuttles.

Being a choleric faunus comes with it’s own list of hatreds, like water (which make her wings heavy and useless) or cold (which she feels more due to her higher body temperature). For some reason, the taste of potatoes makes her want to hurl, much like the cheesy romance movies or the boring historical novels. She gets violent on trolls and hates Grimm above all else for taking her family and normal life from her.

Skills:
Being adopted by a wealthy family, she was taught self defense and took liking to combat. Trained in a universal style, she can make use of nearly every weapon, although she prefers light, more nimble instruments like her swordwand or a dagger. Her technique focuses on precise, quick and powerful attacks while conserving energy between them. As she knew she had a semblance from long before, she pushed to get herself a full combat education to perfect her aura mastery. Later in her years her fighting style developed into something brutal, intending to not only just destroy the enemy, but make them suffer. It is even reflected in the modifications she made to her weapons, like using serrated blades, or ditching a shield for a secondary dagger.

Life in the high class however also lead to some duties. As an adoptive member of a family owning the Remnant’s leading company producing musical instruments, she can play nearly anything. Being cast as a PR figure, she is used to appearing in front of masses and can be politically correct in most situations.

From her life in the orphanage, she picked up some minor survival skills, although she lived in luxury for so long it would take her time to adjust back to it.

While her weapons might give the impression that Mikoto is a swordswoman, she is in fact a dust caster, capable of weaving the Nature’s Wrath into nearly anything she needs given enough time. She uses three categories of moves - First are those she practices often enough to be able to perform them with thought alone. The second less frequent she needs a focusing agent, such as a phrase or a sequence of tones to help her summon the attack. Last but not least, Mikoto can achieve anything she has enough aura, dust and time for through drawing magic circles.

Powers:
Her faunus heritage gives Mikoto several capabilities she can use for great effect. First and foremost, she can use her wings to heighten and extend her jumps to about twice that of a human, or to glide and soften her fall. They are, however, too small for her to fly. The lack of tail used to be a problem, but she smartly modified her battledress with a half-cape that is attachable to her boots that can substitute well enough.

Her bones are less dense than that of a usual human, contributing to her overall low weight, which unfortunately break more easily if her aura is brought down. Her metabolism is faster, making the girl quite a glutton and yet unable to gain any weight and moving her average body temperature to about 40°C.

Having both large reserve and skill to wield it efficiently, Mikoto’s aura is on the more impressive side of the scale. Its color is pure white, and it manifests as quills falling around her.

Semblance - Arcane destroyer: Mikoto's body becomes an intangible spectre and her voice gains a creepy reverb to it. Her weapon is also surrounded in the same substance of white color. In this state, Mikoto can not be physically harmed, however she still hurts the same if her aura fails to block an attack, and she loses the ability to parry with her weapons. 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. In this state, dust based spells tend to break up on contact with her, hence the name.

Equipment:
Collapsible Swordwand Dust Carrier - Swan Song: A swordwand that can be converted from one to the other simply by sliding the guard down the grip. This action retracts or extends the blade into the blunt part of the weapon. As such, the weapon is primarily designed for stabbing attacks rather than slashing, although it is capable of both. The counterweight can hold dust crystals, and Mikoto is particularly fond of the fire ones. The blade is made from dust-enhanced black metal that seems to be reflecting shadows rather than light.

Tactical Dust Carrier - Quilltact: A dagger with perforated blade holding three dust capsules, usually the remaining types to complement the Swansong’s fire crystals. Mikoto built a flute into the hilt which she uses as a focus help to cast some of her more demanding spells.

Extra:

• Voice: Anna Hutchison
• Theme: Gåte - Sjå Attende
• Mikoto is ambidextrous.
• She is bi, leaning towards girls.

Name: Jimmy Ender(not his real last name)
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age:18
Designation: Student at Beacon

Appearance:


History:
Jimmy can't remember his past or his family, he was always on the streets, wandering around without any knowledge of where he would sleep. He didn't know how he ended up homeless or how the hell he lost part of an arm, he was just like that from childhood. As time went by, he gradually learned how to steal and find a place to sleep, never being in one place for very long. 

There was one place though that he would always go back to. The public Library was a great place to sit until it closed and he always had plenty of entertainment in all the books. He spent a lot of his life in that place between scavenger hunts for food, just reading on everything he could to distract himself. The books he loved the most were the humor section which was the source of his bad jokes. Despite everything, he kept his humor intact and always had a smile.

On one of his outings, he came across a man who was in a similar situation to himself, except this old guy wasn't quite small enough to garner attention for the pick pocket trap. Jimmy helped him out, grabbing an apple without anyone seeing and slipping him the food as he passed by. When the man thanked him, Jimmy noticed him as a Way older version of the author on the back of one of the books he had been reading. The book was on dust usage and the old man was some kind of professor. He had been kind of disgraced because of a bunch of crack pot theories on dust but Jimmy believed every word of it and wanted to learn more.

The man agreed that as long as Jimmy helped with a project he was working on, he would give the teachings and so a symbiotic relationship was formed. Suddenly, all of Jimmy's time was on studying the mechanics of dust, on the world it could create and how to harness its power. Day after day, year after year, he worked and listened. They had to steal a few things, lie to a few good people, but in the end, after 8 years of training and dedication, the fruits of their labor came forth.

Broken Distortion, the prototype for Jimmy's future weapon.

It couldn't hold much dust (not that they had a lot to work with) and it wasn't very efficient but, with a mix of his knowledge and skill with his staff, it was enough to get him into Beacon. From there, he was able to use the resources there to create his current weapon choice, Silver Distortion and even got new clothes....though he rarely wears them.

Personality:
A total goof, that's how you would describe Jimmy Ender. Without fail, he's up for any game even when he doesn't know how to play it and despite his ability to formulate strategies and his love of books, he'll constantly try to follow his gut even after creating a well balanced maneuver. When asked about his

Skills:
Combat
Jimmy's combat skills are pretty high, but only in dust usage. Using his semblance and his weapon, Silver Distortion, Jimmy can create dust based “spells” and attacks meaning that his strength lies in being able to attack with variety which is a perfect compliment to his wacky mindset. He has worked very hard to learn everything he can about dust so utilizing it in combat is quite easy for him, in this, he shows how much discipline he truly has for thing he lives for. The main flaw with this is that his dust techniques aren't always suited for one on one combat, his spells effect a large field but the bigger ones can take time to accumulate the right amount of dust. A fast opponent can close the distance and put him at a disadvantage

As for close quarters, his fighting style is reminiscent of Kenpo, he uses sharp palm strikes and kicks to garner distance so he can unleash his other magic. This style is one he invented through studying and experimenting, adding in his days as a thief create a fighting style that uses carefree movement and slight of hand to confuse the enemy.

Common
He's very smart for his age, dispite being the most clueless person you'd ever meet. He never really grew out of using books as a distraction so he can be seen often reading or quoting literature. This means he's pretty knowledgeable on most common subjects and histories especially if it pertains to things like science

Powers:
Jimmy's semblance is Alchemy, the ability to freely manipulate and transform any form of non-organic matter by having an in depth knowledge of its composition. When combined with his Silver Distortion, Jimmy's semblance can create and manipulate destructive forces for an astonishing effect. It should be noted that while he does know the composition of air, his semblance won't work on it. The obvious flaw with this ability is that he can't transmute any substance he's never heard of. Another flaw is that it doesn't work on anything that's living; people, plants, even common wood is totally immune to him, even Grimm can't be harmed by his semblance alone.

Equipment:
Primary weapon
Silver Distortion: His mechanical right arm holds a series of different kinds of dust, he uses this much in the same way as a magician to cast spells from creating barriers to throwing explosives. He's studied hard despite his goofiness to learn how to perform dust techniques with accuracy.
Secondary weapon

Relationships:
He only has one friend, the man who raised him and he never even learned anything more than his last name. He still goes out to talk to him on the streets of Vale (he owns a shop now) and tells him everything about his life.

History:
Fortuna was born to a large farming family, father and older brothers working on the estate of a wealthy farm owner. She'd grown up watching them work their fingers to the bone, coming home each day sore, sometimes obviously injured but denying any treatment, there family needing the money. This was not the life she'd wanted, and knew there was another choice.

She also grew watching the daughters of their boss and owner of the land they worked, such fair and elegant creatures, always wearing such vibrant colors and they spoke just as elegantly as they looked, there voices always seeming to be on the verge of laughter. The few times she'd met the older girls, they'd treated her as some type of doll, they'd dress her in their old clothes, primp and decorate her in extravagant, if somewhat amateurishly applied makeup. She had quickly decided that she'd pull herself from the dirt her family had born her into.

In order to realize her aspirations, Fortuna showed a surprising tenacity in school, her grades gradually improving as she devoted herself to applying for the programs that would lead to the standard of living she wished for, imitating the posh mannerisms and speech of the girls from the farm, and soon landed a scholarship to Signal Academy. Her family proudly presented her that night with what would soon come to be Gilded Fantasy, at that point little more than a wooden club. Despite being a "Crude weapon, unbecoming of a lady," she's stubbornly kept the weapon ever since, gradually upgrading it as she went through training.

Signal provided Fortuna with a chance at a fresh start where no one knew her or her family. While she still loved her family, she'd grown to see them and their "quaint" country ways as a bit of an embarrassment, and without that stigma, Fortuna had found it rather easy to work her way into the elite groups, although they'd always found it odd that she'd never joined them after school or in extracurricular school activities. This had been due to her finding odd jobs after school to support her high end lifestyle. She'd had a few jobs early on for stores and stands, but as she went through school and training, found she'd been able to make better money taking on bounties for crime in Vale. Fortuna never took anything very dangerous, simple takedowns on known small time fences and petty thieves. However, despite most people believing her to have little chance of standing out in their school, this constant application of her skills led to a steady increase in practical application of what she learned, landing her in the top ten percent of Signal for her graduating class. Not long after that came her acceptance to Beacon.

Personality:
Very prim and proper, tends to adhere to the traditional standards of manners. Tends to be a bit of a shopaholic, going through money from mission quickly. Eager to help people better themselves, seeing herself in the same situation. Has a taste for expensive food, often preferring not to eat if it's not to her standards. Has a sweet tooth. Is not above using charm and womanly wiles to get what she wants. Is often on one diet or another. She is often plagued by guilt when eating sweets, making hollow promises to make up for it. Surprisingly enduring around people of low class, knowing that much of their mannerisms come from upbringing and remembering her previous persona.

Likes: Cute fashions, fresh starts, has soft spot for people fighting for what they want. Cakes. Cats. Starting diets.
Dislikes: People who take the easy path to a goal, people who are unwilling to better their lives. Tattoos and surgery for "physical enhancements". Staying on a diet.

Notes: Owns a small cat she's brought to the Academy, Named Duchess. Brown and orange striped cat with white white face fur and underbelly. Wears a large bow as opposed to a collar, changes each day.

Strengths:

- While capable of handling single opponents, she is better suited for flitting between multiple enemies, distracting and enraging.

-Her semblance allows for a momentarily large boost to her combat abilities.

-Can surprise most opponents as she seems the least likely to be a combatant, and one capable of wielding such a large weapon so elegantly.

-Quite the charmer when she wishes to be, more than willing to use flattery and charm to get her way, although she's found a well timed eye-bat can go a long way.

-finds it easy to mingle through all ranges of the social class structure if need be, though only dropping her posh mannerisms if she really needs something from somebody.

Weaknesses:

-light armoring makes her susceptible to taking fewer hits than most.

-Lethargy from over using her semblance can make her more of a liability in a fight than a advantage.

-can seem a bit condescending upon first impressions to those of simple upbringing, from the working class heroes as it were.

-Is constantly craving sweets.

-Is easily embarrassed if she reverts to her mannerisms from her humble origins.

Semblance:
Name:Rush
Type: Physical
General description: she burns through the sugars in her body, converting them into pure physical strength and speed.
General limitations: The time she can keep it going is proportional to the amount of sugar she's had to eat, and once she runs out of fuel tends to become lethargic and mopey. Can maintain it for 20 minutes, but will be near exhaustion and need to refuel with more sugar
Visual effect: Eyes become a much more vibrant shade of yellow, almost the neon of safety vests. Pupils shrink to pinpricks, looking as if they've gone completely from afar.
Passive ability(x): Causes her to burn sugars at a high rate, as well have deep craving for sweets

Weapon Derivation:Kanabo/Pepperbox rifle
Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: Compacts into an ornate hairbrush of mahogany with golden gilded decoration.
Form 1:A 3 foot long hexagonal kanabo, thick spikes every few inches up each side. Made of rich mahogany wood, the spikes, edges, top and pommel gilded with gold.
Form 2: Wooden sides withdraw to reveal 6 gilded barrels that rotate after each shot. The stock is made of mahogany. The trigger has two catches, the first firing the weapon as normal, while pulling past this point will activate a secondary firing mode.
