Name: Silvi Wulka (Pronounced ‘Vul-kah’)

Race: Faunus (Wolf)

Age: 18

Sex: F

Appearance:
She is tall at just shy of six feet, and like any aspiring hunter or huntress, she’s in quite good shape. Naturally silver hair, shaved short on the sides, hangs down to her belt in an almost wrist-thick braid; the colour of her tanned skin accentuating her oval face, while alert honey-gold eyes take in the world. Like all faunus, she has an animalistic trait to her appearance, and in Silvi’s case it’s a thick tail the same colour as the hair on her head…and else ware.

Clothing-wise, it’s a pair of tail-friendly pants, some knee high boots, and a pull over shirt and a jacket. When not in a fight, Silvi keeps both her blade and shield on her left side with a vintage sword belt, while on the right, and attached to the same belt, she has a pouch for her spare vials of powdered Dust.

Personality:
Unsurprisingly, given her chosen path in life, Silvi is an adventurous sort who is fiercely loyal to those she is close to; that said, she’s generally pretty slow to anger…except in cases of anti-faunus bigotry, which pisses her right off.

History:
The Wulka family have been on Ferris, and making arms and armour, for as long as anyone can remember. As a result pretty much every family member has been involved with the outfitting and equipping of hunters and huntresses for generations; and while mostly her family has been happy to simply supply those that fight the creatures of Grimm, there are those that decide to take a more active role. Silvi’s aunt Cheris was one such person.

Whenever her aunt was in town, which wasn’t often enough for Silvi’s taste, her aunt would tell her stories of the wider world of Remnant. The people she’d met, the places she’d seen and of the hunts she’d been on. Silvi was hooked from an early age, and was determined to follow in her aunt’s footsteps. When she first announced her intentions, at the tender age of 8, to become a huntress, her parents humored her and assumed that it was just a case of a little girl’s hero worship of her larger-than-life aunt and that she’d grow out of it; that was not to be.

In the following decade everything Silvi did was with an eye to eventually becoming a huntress, and while her parents did worry what that might eventually mean, they never tied to stop her. When Aunt Cheris was in town, Silvi trained with her as much as she could, and the rest of the time she practiced what she’d already been taught.

Initially she’d planned on joining the Atlas Academy, but after the fall of Beacon and the failure of the Atlesian Knights, she was hesitant to leave her family; but now with the Iron Forrest Academy opening, she’s ready to go once more.

Equipment:
Moonlight Shard
As ‘dual mode’ Dust weapons go, it is pretty much an antique; made when weapon-smiths were still first experimenting with directly incorporating Dust into the function of a hunter/huntresses weapons. In ‘Melee’ mode, Moonlight Shard is a double edged, one-handed sword with a T shaped guard and a half moon pommel. It has a 30 inch blade and weighs in at roughly 3 pounds, which is a bit on the heavy side, but still manageable.
Upon transitioning to ‘Ranged’ mode, the blade splits down the fuller, creating a guide channel of the blasts of energy created when the weapon is fired, and it retracts about half the blade length to allow for easier handling as a pistol; to greater facilitate that, the grip angles ‘down’ at about 70 degrees. While the firing internals have been well maintained and upgraded as is possible over the years, its age is still noticeable in the fact that it is not as efficient as more modern weapons, with each vial of Dust that is loaded into the grip only being good for 4 shots before being totally expended.

Aegis Hammer
When collapsed, Aegis Hammer is a metal hemispherical dome about 8 inches across, with a grip in the middle and a 5 inch tab at the bottom. Deploying, it shifts into a small round buckler about 18 inches across. The grip houses a socket to load a vial of black Dust, that when activated by the users Aura, creates a localized repulsion field across the face of the shield allowing it to block surprisingly powerful blows or deliver punishing strikes.

Semblance:
Accelerated Perception
Her semblance lets her kick her mental processes into overdrive for a short while, allowing her the time to pick up on subtle things like how an opponent is shifting their weight, what muscles are tensing (if she can see them), or where their attention is focusing. This allows her to do such things as predict an opponent’s next more or two in a fight, spot minor ticks if someone is lying or know exactly where to put her feet if she’s moving over rough/unstable ground at high speed.

Name: Aiden Trax

Race: Human

Age: 17

Sex: Male

Appearance: Aidan is just short of 5'5 with a slim pale body. Due to being a thief at an early age, he is more agile than most people he met in his life. Focusing on outmaneuvering his opponents than overpowering them. His hair a short dark red hair and his eyes are a blue with a hint of green within them.

Aidan normal clothing is mostly a black pair of pants, worn but black sneakers with a white trim around the bottom of his shoes, a dark blue shirt with a black jacket with a hood attached to it. Aidan also wears dark blue gloves so he can limit his use of his powers. Around his waist, he has two dagger holsters.

Personality: Aiden is a loner and likes to do things himself if he can. After growing up in the streets, he views teamwork shady at best. He views people are only friendly if they are after something.
He never tries to get close to people after his only friend betrayed him.Though if someone could get pass his cold personality, they might have a strong friendship with Aiden.

History: Before Aidan was fully born, his father left the family to find work in the big city that was near their small town. Envelopes would come by every week filled money and a letter telling how the big city was going and how he misses them both. Though after ten months of this, the letters stop and no word of the father came to the light.

With no more money coming in, Aidan mother works herself to the bone to feed her child. Though when Aidan was eleven years old, his mom got horribly sick and with how poor the town was, she never got the proper medication and soon died.

Aidan, now alone and having no one to turn to, turn to stealing. After two years, Aidan left the small town. The town folks used to his trickery and rarely fell for anything else. Now at age thirteen, Aidan decided to go find his father or at least found out happen to him.
Hitching a ride with a traveling group, Aidan set off to find his father. Aidan spent two months looking around the large city for any clues of his father. Nothing was coming up and Aidan was barely getting by with his stealing as the security was tighter here than his poor town.

Though unknowing by him, he was being watched. A week later, Aidan was captured and brought to a what seems like an abandoned warehouse. There he met his father and the rest of his father's gang. The two didn't know they were related until they told each other their name. Apollo, Aidan father's, wonder why his son was here and not with his mother. Aidan accused him of killing his mother after Apollo stop sending money to them.

Apollo calms Aidan down and told him the full story. Apollo couldn't get any work around the city. No one would hire him, that was until a gang saw him struggling and offer him a job as a grunt. Soon after that, Apollo was making a good amount of money and sending it off every chance he got. After a while, Apollo was rising within the ranks of the gang and after years of devotion was given the leadership role after the last leader felt like retiring.

With this info, Apollo knew the scum who was stealing his family money. Frisk, a rat Faunus, who always seem to pick on Apollo when he got the chance. He was also jealous as Apollo easily went up in the ranks while he barely made any tracks. With this, Apollo made an example of Frisk in front of the whole gang.

Now reunited with his father, Aidan grew up in the thief lifestyle. Stealing what he can and doing what he wanted. Though all that changed years later. Something seems to change within Apollo after he learns of his wife's death. He always thought she hated him for never returning, but he never could face her with what he did with his life. He became cold and cruel and all of that came spilling out after a job went bad. Leaving a good few dead on both sides and with Apollo ready for war against the city.
Aidan now had to choose, between being with his father side and going to war with the city or finding a less violent solution. He chose the second, and while everyone was sleeping, he tips off the police and left. Hearing on the news that Apollo's gang was brought in and their sentence was being carried out.

With the deed done, Aidan wanted to give up the stealing and gang life. Hearing news of Beacon falling and a new school opening up on an island. Aidan decided to turn over a new leaf and become a hunter.

Equipment:

Talon and Claw
In melee mode, Talon and Claw are duel short swords. While in range, they turn into duel pistols. Aidan fighting style was normally a hit and run. While he can fight, he prefers to get in, get the job done, and then leave before he even has to draw. Though if the time comes to it, Aidan is a fighter and was train by his father and the rest of Apollo's gang.

Semblance:

Aidan views his Semblance as a curse on the family name. It seems that the Trax of old had passed down trait of explosions, though each family member differs from each other. Aidan hands would glow when his semblance is activated. Anything he touches or punches will set off a mini explosion. If someone does not use Aura to take the brunt of his attacks, it will leave a nasty hole or chunk out of wherever he hits.

Mika meanwhile, despite her cool and methodological head, the girl couldn’t be pinned down. So with a little bit of combat schooling and a versatile weapon, the girl traveled.
