PERSONALITY

HISTORY

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Race: Fox Faunus

Appearance: Russet is rather short and slight, standing only at 5'4" and weighing in around 130 pounds. A pair of reddish brown ears tipped in black push up through his hair at the top of his head. His canine teeth and nails are slightly longer and sharper than normal, and his eyes are a bright orange-red. A trio of pale scars, barely noticeable against his pale skin, run from just below his left eye to his jawline. More scars are scattered across his arms and torso, a testament to the many close calls Russet has managed to survive. He prefers simple clothing in muted colors, but is rarely seen without his heavy red jacket and combat boots. In order to remain as mobile as possible, he eschews all forms of armor.

Color: Russet Red

Symbol:


Semblance: Will-O'-the-Wisp -- With a snap of his fingers, Russet creates a small colorless orb of what appears to be flame. He can then project this wisp with a minor effort of will, launching it very rapidly over a short distance, with speed diminishing greatly after about ten yards. When the wisp strikes a solid surface it creates an explosion of raw force. This ability functions best when augmented with Dust. Various types of Dust change the color of the wisp and add a myriad of elemental effects to the explosion.

Weapon Name: Brutal Trick

Weapon Appearance/Function: Brutal Trick is a large bowie knife with a pair of short shotgun barrels affixed along the spine of the blade. The pair of triggers that can fire each barrel independently are midway down the handle, where Russet's first two fingers typically rest. The blade and barrels both rotate forward to allow the weapon to be breach loaded.
Type: Melee, Ranged, Dust Compatible
Weapon Derivation: Bowie knife, sawed-off shotgun
Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: Russet carries his weapon in a specially designed sheath across the small of his back. This sheath is made of black leather and is roomy enough to house the dual shotgun barrels. It also has a pouch along the bottom designed to store ammunition.

Personality: There are only three things on the face of Remnant that Russet has ever admitted to loving; himself, making money, and having a good time. In the pursuit of the latter two, he comes off as a sarcastic and unapologetic mercenary who will do nearly anything to see his job finished. Despite his focus in combat and during assignments, he seems to be endlessly care-free and confident. Even when seriously pressed in combat, he offers insults and banter as often as actual violence. Though it is clear he has no qualms about violence or killing, he seems to dislike harming women and those too young to "really know their place in the world." Off the battlefield he displays a hearty helping of charisma, wit, and cunning.

History: Russet was born and raised in a village west of Mistral, among the swamps that populate the region. Though the village itself was rather poor, the Vulpes family had it worse than most. Due to his father's constant trips into the swamps to hunt in order to support his family, he was mostly raised by his mother. Even then, the two spent most of their time either begging from their fellow citizens or foraging near the edges of the settlement to stave of hunger. Eventually, Russet's father left on a trip from which he never returned, leaving his mother overtaken by sorrow. Determined to become more than either of his parents ever were, Russet lied, cheated, and stole his way into a primary combat school.

After distinguishing himself at Sanctum as an able combatant and cunning scholar and strategist, Russet made his way to Haven Academy. While there he worked with team HRQN (Harlequin), made up of three other Faunus he had become friends with during his time at Sanctum and led by Hunter Jackson. The four became well-known for the numerous practical jokes they played against anyone who bothered to look down on or bully Faunus members of the community.

Having graduated from Haven, team HRQN stayed together for only a short time. Beyond the influence of the school and administrators, it became increasingly apparent to the others that Russet was willing to do nearly anything in the pursuit of money and enjoying himself. After a particularly violent argument during which Russet gained several of his scars and Hunter was twice maimed (losing an eye and half of his left rabbit ear) the fox faunus turned his back on those he once called friends. Free of the concerns and objections of the other Huntsmen, Russ was free to take on some of the less wholesome assignments offered by less-than-reputable employers. He found that he enjoyed the work, for the most part, and certainly enjoyed the large paychecks that came with it. Now able to maintain a lifestyle he considers comfortable, he spends most of his time outside of jobs drinking and otherwise throwing his cash around with little concern.

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Appearance:

Color: Inky black

Symbol: An eye-scarred raven.

Semblance:
Raven Mirage - Wolfram can disperse into a murder of ravens and crows, and can use them to scout as well, some have called him the 'vampire of crows' due to how visually similar he disperse into crows compared to when a vampire disperses into bats in popular media. Other abilities include that these crows can function as normal crows and feed on animals to give him energy as well. He is powerful enough to have an abundance of crows in an area that it can be difficult to figure out where he will appear next, compared to his student years.

Weapon Name: Vindicator

Weapon Appearance/Function: The gloves are more a utility than an actual weapon, using the circuits that are all along the palms, he can materialize dust into small weapons. Larger weapons require something far more advanced or a work-around method, and far more dust due to density issues.
Type: Dust, Utility, Aura
Weapon Derivation: Twin gauntlets, lean in appearance.
Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: A pair of really stylish elbow long gloves. Some seemingly mechanical parts along the forearm area, and dust slots.
Form 1: Conduit Function, Materialize - When entering combat mode, a thin steel armor covers the gloves, also colored black, and along the palm, circuits matching the hand appear. Through those circuits he can use the dust equipped to form throwing knives of varying size and element by melding it with his aura, as well as creating thin wire for trapping and even slicing, and finally, needles, which are his most potent and efficient means of disabling or killing someone.
Form 2: Conduit Function, Imbue - Not really a second form, just another function. He carries twin knives that he uses as a secondary weapon when forced into close quarters, with the imbue function he can give these knives new properties, or even extend their reach. This isn't limited to the knives though. He has other equipment as well for this very concept.
Form 3: Conduit Function, Shroud - He can cancel both imbue and materialize to use his gauntlet as the main weapon, by wrapping it in dust, he can use it defensively, or expel it upon striking a target for more damage.
Form 4: Grappling Hook - There's a grappling hook on this thing. Neat.
Form 5: Gambit Round - There's a one-shot and powerful pistol underslung on the gauntlet. It only has one round, and it's settings have it use all the dust that is currently equipped, making the single shot insanely powerful, but renders the gauntlet useless. This is a useful option in some cases. The drawback is that he'll need to re-equip all the dust vials again, which takes quite awhile.

Elemental Functions: The following are functions he can add for his knives and needles depending on elements.

• Gravity - He can use this dust to bind enemies to areas that are marked by his needles or knives. He can also create the reverse effect and propel himself, or an enemy far away.
• Explosive - By combining fire and earth, he can create a violent explosive knife.
• Incendiary - A simple fire type.
• Frostbite - A simple ice type designed to disable parts of a body, or even freeze their heart.
• Shredder - A concentrated wind or air type that disperses the knife into a cutting wind.
• Water - He can douse his enemies in water with this.
• Stun - Sends out an electric shock on whatever surface it lands on, and stuns them. It's especially deadly if they are soaked.

Equipment: The following he carries on him in order to use Imbue for.

• Large Folding Shuriken - These shuriken are a little larger than normal, and fold so they're easy to carry. He only has a few, so he prefers to use them in a boomerang fashion. It's useful when fighting a crowd of grimm.
• Twin Knives, The Harbingers - Twin double-sided knives, straight blade, cross guard. They look fancy, and actually have a hidden dust vial in their handles, allowing him to do a surprise reload once his gauntlets run out of Dust. Alternatively, the dust can be used to propel the knife even faster when thrown, which can surprise his opponents. The daggers are also able to be attached to his heels, giving him even more options when in combat with them.
• Compound Bombs - These on their own are regular smoke bombs, but the smoke is made of a compound that reacts well with dust, allowing him to make fire bombs, cold bombs, and so on, depending on the dust he imbues into them before throwing.

Personality: Despite his heavy presence and the way he looks and his skills, he's a very carefree person, normally seen with a friendly smile that people often mistake for a creepy slasher type. He's just a guy trying to live right now, a little cynical, as he once had aspirations of his own. He made his living in the underground with assassination jobs, they weren't his cup of tea, but he was very good at them, plus no one else wanted to hire him, so inadverdently he became known as the "Harbinger of Death", and all those other names. He didn't become a Hunter to kill people, he became one to kill Grimm, so he was not content with this. Still, it gave him an enormous amount of money, so he couldn't complain. Assassinations to him were like that desk job you hate so much at this point, and really just about anything would pique his interest.

History: Wolfram was no honor student, in fact no one liked him except his team back in Haven, who honestly were all friendly. He was considered the strange kid, reserved, and almost like a pushover, normally that alone wouldn't put him in the situation he was, but it was the fact that he had an uncanny talent at pointing out people's weaknesses. It wasn't semblance, he already awoke to that, so it scared people that he could figure out very quickly what made them tick. Nothing really happened with it though, and he graduated normally. Some of his team suggested him to a medical profession, as his talent would be very useful in that field. Others suggested the black ops of militaries. He wanted to fight Grimm though... But he considered the options.

He ended up trying both. It was difficult for him to enter the military medical field, because he was just so horrible at it's theory, then he was offered to the black ops, assassinations and the like, and he was just really really good at it. He eventually quit though, because he didn't like the line of work, but eventually he starved because he couldn't find other jobs, he did the odd Grimm slaying job on mission boards, and among other things, but as his failures in higher level Grimm slaying missions became apparent, his options narrowed, until he eventually starved for a whole month.

That all ended when his asking around for jobs eventually landed him into the underground's mission boards, because someone wanted his skills as an assassin. As he was pretty much starving and desperate, he accepted, and before he knew it, he became reputed as one of the best assassins in the history of Hunters and Huntresses, albeit in the underground. Although little did he know until later, there was no turning back. No regular mission board would accept him picking up a quest, very few had need of his talents too, and so there he was, stuck in the underground, almost by accident.

Trivia
- Wolfram is a German name that is a portmanteau of "wolf" and "raven", basically making it "wolf-raven".
- Mord is just German for "murder".
- His theme is mostly crows and ravens, and represents an omen of death.
- His story of being essentially mistaken or stumbling into criminality is similar to how the father of the boys in the German tale The Seven Ravens mistakes them for going out to play instead of getting water for their sister, which leads to them being turned into crows.

Username: IceHeart

“People think lambs are cute and cuddly, makes it easier to beat the stuffing out of em!"

Name: Hitsuji Momo

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Race: Sheep Faunus.

Appearance: 5’1”, 118 lbs

Color: White

Symbol: A broken ram horn with three red claw marks that start from the broken tip and travel to the bottom of the horn’s curve.

Semblance: Unstoppable Ram: A very straightforward use of Aura that is very simple but effective. Hitsuji collects her aura into a single point around her and then causes the aura to instantly repel herself in the opposite direction. This use of Aura propulsion has several advantages. First the power of her aura is rather explosive, giving her a lot of extra firepower. Second, she can move without giving herself away through body movement, for example not having to tense up to jump as she can literally just rocket herself upward with aura. Third, she can actually change her own direction in midair through the use of her semblance.

One downside of her semblance is she can only use it for explosive bursts of speed. As such she can rocket away in one direction but she can instantly use another burst to change her direction. The semblance requires at least 5 seconds between bursts to be used effectively again. Still the power and speed the semblance gives her is not to be underestimated.

Weapon Name: Hard Case

Weapon Appearance/Function:

Type: Close-Ranged Melee Weapon with Dust Cartridge Compatibility. Also has a Short-Ranged Pistol form.

Weapon Derivation: Brass Knuckles/Magnum

Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: At first appearance they look like just like unusually large, pink, metal bracelets.

Form 1: They take a traditional brass knuckles appearance, complete with four ‘knuckles’. The brass knuckles can be augmented with ‘dust’ knuckles, little dust ‘studs’ of various design that attach to the knuckles.

Form 2: The two brass knuckles can change into an edged weapon, a blade appears alone the edge of the knuckles and extends two inches on either side of the fist, making razor fists.

Form 3: By placing the two brass knuckles together they combine, the holes in the knuckles collapse and change into the barrel of a Magnum pistol. This Magnum form can also be equipped with special dust cartridges for various effects.

Personality: Her manner of talking and speech can seem rather cute and fluffy, that is until one starts to notice some rather disturbing things she will just so nonchalantly. Small but exploding with energy, it is hard for her to sit still and she can be rather impatient. Her cute, sweet voice contrasts at times so sharply with what she says, people have been known to feel shivers down their spine just by seeing her warm smile. Generally a bit twisted in the head and full of dark humor but not necessarily evil.

History: Hitsuji Momo starting out living in one of the few remaining settles outside of the main populations centers, between Vale and Vacuo. The small settlement was home to some rough and tumble kind of folks who were quite brave and so amazing there were few Grimm attacks early on. A good portion of the populace was Faunus so there was plenty of others to play and grow up with so there was little discrimination.

This ideal community was destined for destruction however, when a certain stranger came to town. The stranger was human and was badly hurt from a Grimm attack. The town quickly took care of him but as it turned out it was his mind that needed repair more so than his body. The stranger lashed out at everyone in his dilerium, injuring some of the people, this event and person created enough unease to attract creatures of Grimm.

The Grimm overran the town, killing most of the population and the stranger disappeared over the course of the ensuing battle. Hitsuji had the misfortune of watching her family get slaughtered by Grimm, causing her to pass out. Because she was unconscious, the Grimm did not notice her small form and left the area. Hitsuji was rescued by a Huntsman and soon she started to attend Signal Academy.

At signal she crafted her weapon and became very interested in Grimm. Soon her life was filled with learning how to better fight and kill Grimm. She also started to almost exclusively devote her studies to the Grimm and combat. After studying at Signal for a few years she was sent to Beacon Academy to become a true huntress.

It did not take long for her to reach huntress status and she was soon known for her brutal takedowns of Grimm both large and small giving her the nickname "Rampaging Ram". She was so intent of the utter destruction of Grimm that often on missions she could even forget her original objective as she hunted down creatures of Grimm. She tried to take as many Grimm extermination missions as possible.

She was a part of a team for a brief bit but a very serious accident happened during a mission when a particularly large Grimm appeared. Uitsuji charged the Grimm and in the process caused a cave-in when she smashed the Grimm into the side of the cave they were in. Her reckless behavior and lack of remorse for her fallen teammates caused her to be expelled from beacon and since then she has gone to doing underground mission boards, specializing in Grimm extermination and also capture, which is not something done through legitimate channels.

Name: Sol

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Appearance:

Height: 6'3
Weight: Don't ask
Medical: Hypoglycemia


Color: Red

Symbol: A dragons head with a large fireball in its mouth

Semblance: Bastion: A strange semblance that passively increases Sol's overall physical prowess and defensive abilities, but she can sacrifice one or two augment to strengthen another in the form of attack, defense, and speed. What's even more odd is that she can completely nullify one category for the time being to mix the other two together for a variety of combos.

Weapon Name: Ruin

Weapon Appearance/Function: A massive great sword made from a rare light metal as a base then strengthened with various metals, cogs and gears to make a truly frightening weapon. Six feet long from the tip of the blade to the handle, the sword itself was so massive the handle had to be integrated with it to add more stability but nothing could help the weight. There is a place not to far from the end of the handle leading to the blade where Sol can shove her entire arm inside to transform it, causing the bladed portion to collapse and the weapon to shorten to four feet; the tip will open up and be replaced by a barrel. In this form the weapon becomes an arm cannon that converts Dust into raw energy to fire a particle beam in an emergency the canon can feed on Sol's aura to fire.

Type: Melee, Ranged, Dust, Transform, aura

Weapon Derivation: Sword and a RailGun

Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: The sword doesn't really have a real sheath but there is a carrying case for the weapon that runs the length of her body that can be used to house it.

Personality: Sol can be best described as that person at school with loads of potential and sometimes talent who spends all day sleeping in class but being wide awake at lunch but still manages to skate by somehow. Short attention span and easily bored Sol seems to have a special ability where she can stop listening to you and still seem like she's giving you her full undivided attention. On a level above that she can be protective and active when she wants to be anyone she regards as a friend or an ally she will attempt to protect, granted it will take her a while to get worked up.

Sol was born into a working class family who survived off the manufacturing of weapons for hunters and huntresses. Her mother would take the commissions in and her father would put them together, the two of them were a good team but being the workaholics they were left little room in their lives for a young Sol who was often neglected or ignored during most days. This lack of attention affected the little one in such a way that her personality became what she saw her parents as; lazy good for nothings. Sleeping and lounging around without purpose was her day to day routine for a good portion of her life coupled with her eating habits Sol was well on her way to becoming a driveless woman with no goals or ambitions, that is until her parents shipped her off to haven to study and become a huntress.

It wasn't like she didn't have basic combat abilities, in fact when she discovered how her semblance worked she actually trained in private when no one was looking mainly during the nights but now as a student she would have to work more than twice as hard. Over those few months at Haven Sol got stronger but her attitude didn't get any better but her team put up with it even learned to like it, being apart of a team felt good even though she'd never admit it to them to belong was foreign but it was a nice little feeling. At the time she only used her fist and abused her Semblance to fight so the need to get better was always hanging over her head especially being that she was her teams heaviest hitter, another nice feeling to be needed and having someone count on her. It was like a dream come true a family she never could have but we all have to wake up to the real world sometime.

It was a random field mission her squad got sent on out to some old abandoned ruins as an escort for some archaeologist, Sol herself decided to duck off and take a quick nap in private before anyone found out, she also needed to hide for a little while because she ate most of the food for the trip. a little while because she ate most of the food for the trip. Screams and the ground shaking woke her up quick, as it turns out that tomb they were sent to investigate was crawling with Grimm and her team was nowhere near prepared to fight off those numbers without their front line Sol. It didn't take long for Sol to find the mangled remains of one of her teammates but finding the others was a challenge, so naturally she began to wave of carnage of her own kill off any Grimm that stood in her way until she found them trapped in a room backs against the wall dead. Needless to say those Grimm never left that tomb and neither did Sol until her friends were buried. Sol was never welcomed back into the school seen and treated like a deserter and in all honesty she felt like it, but she never gave into that feeling. That tomb housed a rare lightweight material that soon became the base of her weapon Ruin, and for the next ten years she worked and improved as an underground huntress.

Name: Scarlet Cunningham

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Race: Faunus - Wolf

Appearance: Scarlet stands at a small-ish height of 5'6" and retains quite a young look to her. She didn't seem to age from when she was 17 but that could have been only the fragment of one's imagination. She always has this innocent look on her face which tends to throw many people off. She has, much like her name, scarlet hair. Her eyes are a shade of yellow. She seems to have remarkable smooth, pale skin. She has a slender form and an average bust size.

What brings out her Faunus traits is her red furry tail and her longer canine teeth. Her canine teeth are not obvious at first but one will notice it when they look hard enough. She usually wears a white long sleeved shirt, a black vest and either a white skirt or pants, it depends on her mood. What is on the picture, however, was herself before the small incident. Now, she has black mechanical arms built on herself which serves as her weapon as well making her ready all the time.



Color: Red



Semblance: Illusion - She can manipulate a person's senses, making them see, hear, feel, taste and smell things she wants them to. However, these things are intangible and cannot physically hurt a creature. When manipulating one's senses, she becomes increasingly tired the more she uses her semblance.

Weapon Name: Primum Potestatem

Weapon Appearance/Function: [She keeps the sword in the picture in her house, displayed and never to be used again] Her two black mechanical hands which houses the following:

Her left arm can actually form a shield from it. It is ebony black in color with her emblem in the middle. It is practically attached to her arm so she can’t throw it or anything.

Her right arm can have a blade extend from it which she can use for close combat situations, however, it can also be shot out or be extended into a sword that she can hold in her hand. She only has two blades built in it so she has to reload it with the same swords that she shot out. These blades have no hilt so it is sharp all over but her gauntlets are the ones that allows her to use these blades without getting hurt.

Type: Melee, Defensive, Ranged

Weapon Derivation: Gauntlet, sword, shield

Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: It would look like normal black prosthetic arms.

Form 1: Shield and Hidden Blade
Form 2: Shield and swordgun (can shoot out the sword)
Form 3: Shield and sword

Personality: Scarlet seems like a nice and helpful person. She is very sociable and seems happy overall. She doesn't seem like a one to kill people on whim or perhaps even hurt a single fly. This is all wrong, all a simple act. That innocent face of hers is just a mask to cover the killer inside. She considers herself one of the best actresses out there because of this. She can even lie in front of your face and you wouldn't even notice. But she is capable of feeling a sort of camaraderie towards people who actually work well with her and doesn't discriminate here because she's a Faunus.

She absolutely hates people touching her tail, especially if she doesn’t know them. She only lets her closest friends touch it and even then it is a mere touch and no more. Like a dog, however, she loves being petted in the head and her tail would start swaying. What she hates the most, though, is when people discriminate here because of her Faunus lineage. She is proud of it and will kill if you really push her through her limits (just talk to her previous teammates). Despite wanting to become on equal standing with humans, she never thought of even joining the Whitefang. She just simply doesn't like it very much. Although she could work for them if they pay her enough because she is a free "Huntress". After all, what matters to her the most is the money involved and not something like justice or some other crap like that.

She has quite a fascination to the Grimm and wants to study them but unfortunately, they disappear soon after they are killed. Scarlet can be seen inside the forest, studying the Grimm from above the trees and made sure to not let out any negative emotions so they wouldn’t be attracted to her. She had started taking down notes too whenever she encounters a certain type of Grimm, jotting down its weaknesses and attack patterns. She is also seen researching extensively on these creatures, trying to find out where they came from or if they can be mutated from different kinds of animals.

Scarlet is someone who relies on trickery and misdirection. She uses her semblance to steal from other people and is incredibly used to stealing from other people's pockets/bags. She isn't one to joke around when she does this, although it may seem like that since she puts an act in front of someone to do so. Before, she has been seen stealing from her schoolmates and even the teachers.

History: Born in Vale, she was quite an energetic young pup. She would go around, having fun like any other kid. She had made quick friends with the other Faunus out there. When she entered school, however, her outlook on the world changed. Human kids started pulling her tail, making fun of her and being bullied. A teacher once protected her but turned against her soon enough. She wasn't the only one being treated like this, every other Faunus in that school was being mistreated like that. Unfortunately for her classmates, she learned how to fight back. An hour of beating later, she came out relatively unharmed with only a few bruises and scrapes here and there but that would heal, and her classmates were all beaten up. She was expelled from this school.

Her parents caught wind of this but instead of being angry, they became proud of their little girl and deemed her ready for the harsh truth of life. They explained everything she needed to know about the whole fight between the Faunus and humans, the Whitefang and stuff like that. They also told her about their line of work, thieves, assassins, that was what the Cunningham family was and ever will be. They started to train Scarlet to become one of them. That was when she noticed that her parents weren't just normal thieves, but they used their semblances which were speed and transformation for her mom and dad respectively. She asked her parents how they even had these and they simply replied that they trained for it.

And so began her training in unlocking her aura. Soon, she did unlock it and gained her semblance, Illusion. This made her life a ton easier as she could pick pockets without the person noticing. She would single out people and steal from them. When she reached the age of 17, she enrolled in Beacon Academy for reasons only known to herself. She passed. She only used her father's sword for the majority of her stay at Beacon. She presented great skills. She got herself in team ROSE, a team consisted of three humans and herself, a Faunus. She was incredibly bullied by the two males in her team while their leader remained oblivious to this fact. She did not do anything though nor did she say anything to the leader. At her fourth year, her arms were eaten by the Grimm when she was left on her own with a bunch of Grymm. She was saved, just in time, by their leader, Rosaline. She was taken to the hospital and was given prosthetic arms. She then made configurations to make it her weapon.

Right after the graduation, she went to talk with Owain and Emir, the two males, with her weapon unsheathed. The two looked at her weirdly. She had this weird look on her face, a sadistic smile on it. They instinctively went for their weapons. Soon after though, both were killed and hung near Beacon Academy with the words, "Let this be a warning for all you Faunus haters. Come across me and you shall share the same fate." This was the last time she ever used her father's sword. She wasn't caught by this and went down the lane of working for multiple horrible institutions in exchange for money making her a fallen huntress. She was also seen still picking pockets or even going as far as stealing from homes but she always wore a mask during these times (the break-ins I mean).
