“Ready to be rocked?” -Echo [b][color=0070FF]Name:[/color][/b] Echo Marine? [b][color=0070FF]Team:[/color][/b] BEAT [color=0070FF][b]Birth Date:[/b][/color] May 2nd [b][color=0070FF]Age:[/color][/b] 18 [b][color=0070FF]Race:[/color][/b] Human [b][color=0070FF]Gender:[/color][/b] Female [b][color=0070FF]Designation:[/color][/b] Sophomore Student at Atlas Academy [b][color=0070FF]In Depth Appearance:[/color][/b] [url=https://68.media.tumblr.com/500d6d8a8195fb06e9e4d2d85321577b/tumblr_nbbfvb8GIQ1rrkapwo1_500.png]Echo[/url] is a tall, strongly-built girl, with long legs, wide shoulders, and wide hips. Her skin is approximately mocha in tone, and contrasts extravagently with her poofy blue hair, which is tied back in a bush except for jagged bangs. Fairly thick eyebrows, full lips, and a near-permanent smirk distinguish her face. On the battlefield or the stage, Echo's attire of choice is a gray crop-sleeved sweaterskirt, yellow bows as her hairtie and her belt, streamlined cotton pants, and white tennis shoes with yellow soles. Black elastic wraps adorn her arms, extending into fingerless gloves. This garb overall displays a simple functionality, though not without its own assertive style. [b][color=0070FF]Weapon:[/color][/b] The simple title of Echo's weapon, the Boomstick, masks a great degree of sophistication and flexibility seemingly unfit for a brutish hammer. To begin, the Boomstick is an immense mallet, meant to be swung with both hands. The force of a proper swing is capable of making dents in Grimm armor plates and metal alike. Though slower and not as adaptable as a blade or even a mace, this huge weapon nevertheless boasts a highly effective inelegance masked beneath a hip exterior. More interesting than the Boomstick's raw pummeling capabilities, however, are the two sound-based devices built into it. Lying well-sheltered in the hammerhead, an extremely potent boombox creates forceful reverberations in the vicinity of the weapon when swung, giving the Boomstick an area-of-effect capable of launching things it isn't even touching. Additionally, a microphone exists in the bottom of the Boomstick's handle, though this serves more of an entertainment purpose than a tactical one. [b][color=0070FF]Semblance:[/color][/b] Stemming from Echo's unwillingness to back down even when greatly challenged, her semblance Run it Back restores her own aura to its level a few moments ago, making her resistent to burst damage and even able to stay in a fight when she might otherwise be taken down. This talent's nature as a sort of 'second wind' however, prevents her using her ability more than once or twice per fight, leading her to save it for big moments. The ability is extremely taxing on her body, and even two uses has great effects on her soon after, requiring her to finish a fight quickly after using her semblance. [b][color=0070FF]Personality:[/color][/b] In a word, adamant. Echo is proud, resolute in what she believes in, and strong-willed to the point of obnoxiousness. Despite being overly inclined to prefer everything being done her way, she will relent if sufficiently convinced—a quality she shamelessly touts as being representative of her consideration for others' thoughts, which she lacks. Though of average intelligence, she is less proficient than most in picking up on the feelings of others. She doesn't ever let her opponents get through to her, thinking this to be an act of submission; for instance, if slandered for her weight, Echo might turn it around to point out that she's not trying to pretend she's something she's not. Echo also tends to hold grudges. Despite being self-centered and somewhat arrogant, she is not in the least bit mean-spirited and will not actively seek to hurt the feelings or attack the beliefs of others, and if she discovers she has done so, she will apologize. On the flipside, Echo exhibits a loyalty and reliability that make her a steadfast ally, if not a steadfast friend. The military tradition of her family perseveres in her, and Echo remains optimistic despite the tragedies and struggles of the world to inspire confidence and toughness in others. All in all, she is an indomitable spirit, for better or worse, whose confidence can be both self-destructive and self-preservative. [b][color=0070FF]Place of Origin:[/color][/b] Atlas [b][color=0070FF]Relations with other Players:[/color][/b] Burgundy - Echo holds a certain level of respect for Burgundy. Not only because she is the leader of the team, but also due to the fact that she always appears to be on the top of her game. she seems to view Burgundy in the same prodigal light that many of the faculty in the academy do, but her respect is not to be mistaken for idolism. The two tend to make jokes about one another, Echo's favorite one being a half true statement in how she believes that men should be throwing themselves at her feet and forming a reverse harem for her. It usaully gets a good laugh out of the both of them. Despite how close the two are, she is still unaware of the rigorous training that Burgundy sneaks off to to maintain her status as a pending specialist. Albus -The two are quite the odd pair. They speak like a couple and are more open with eachother than they actually know. Their relationship can be described as 'Tough Love'. They share insults together without even knowing that they are both actually giving eachother a piece of themselves. But in combat Albus and Echo do not work well together like Albus does with Tawne. Tawne - Echo and Tawne represent a compromising clash. More than anyone else on the team, and often more than anyone else they know, Echo and Tawne butt heads on the smallest of issues, seemingly just for the sake of it. Since day one, each has treated one another like a sibling, with a great deal of understanding and care veiled behind an equal but much more visible quantity of teasing, calling out, and competition. Both strive to be the 'big brother' of the relationship. This get's the Pyro Seal of approval, and is automatically accepted.
