@datadogie Surprised I'm not the only with a Feline.
I don't think it looks bad.
Edit: I just wish the artist had time to finish what I have in mind, so I can post the CS. XD
Like it is pretty much about finished, but I have no finished image.

Name
Asha “Ash” Victoria Apparatus
Age
17
Gender
Female
Country of Origin
Vale
Physique
Ash’s physical appearance is nothing she would consider boasting about, and has consistently complained about her stature. Standing at a tiny 5’1” and weighing a light 109 pounds, Ash is svelte and small, a rather short young lady that lacks in the “size” department. Ash has pale skin that makes her look like some kind of vampire that’s never seen sunlight before, and boasts short silver-gray hair and chocolate eyes.
Ash’s unremarkably short stature and lack of feminine shape are apparent at first glance, and a source of great agitation from the young lady. Ash is rather well-built, as most prospective Beacon students happen to be, with her short body being astonishingly stocky for a rather petite young girl.
Race
Human
Team
-
Personality
A quirky girl with an undying drive for knowledge and endless amounts of curiosity, Ash is an inquisitive girl that always looks for satisfying answers for her curiosity. Spunky and outgoing, Ash enjoys mingling with other people, finding comfort in friendship, and is much more a team player than a lone wolf. Ash loves a good conversation topic.
Ash is a girl that could easily be described as brilliant, a tech genius that, once exposed to a piece of machinery, will stop at nothing to learn everything about it. Spending much of her free time fixing, tinkering, repairing, and improving, Ash is an empiricist and a creative soul, using trial and error to improve machinery to its finest.
Ash tends to never be bored- when she’s not fiddling with machines, she’s training, or having a chat, or playing cards, or doing something, anything that isn’t nothing. Ash is surprisingly impatient for a tinkerer, and can get rather angry with things don’t align with her expectations. As such, she lacks the ability to efficiently wait out enemies, preferring to deal with any problem the way she deals with machines- trying everything until something works.
For somebody that seems to have spent all their life in a workshop, Ash is a surprisingly avid and effective combatant, using savage tactics and even playing plain dirty to get above her opponents. Naturally competitive and not above being cutthroat, Ash specializes in utilizing brutal all-out attacks to overwhelm her opponents. Ash is quite a sore loser, and tends to hold arbitrary grudges, though she always uses her losses to work on improving her craft.
More than anything else, though, Ash is a compassionate person, as many Huntsmen and Huntresses tend to be. Ash tends to form deep bonds with those she’s grown to meet, and her concern for her companions always outweighs her competitiveness and impatience.

Motivation
Hunting appeals to Ash for three distinct reasons- firstly, it gives her an opportunity to protect the unprotected, to aid the helpless, to fight what others fear. Secondly, it allows her to enjoy constant combat. And lastly, it provides an excellent place to both build tools for and actually test them in the field. Half the fun of tinkering, after all, is actually using what you made.
Brief Bio
W.I.P.
Semblance
Ash’s semblance is a unique one titled Override. Discovered after a machine in her parent’s basement went off and practically crushed the young child, Override allows Ash to imbue her aura into anything mechanical, allowing her to manipulate it flawlessly. Ash can use this on any machine within a 10-meter range.
Override’s main use is with weapons- Ash can use Override to, well, override other people’s weapons, allowing Ash to lock them into one form, jam them, and crush the Dust crystals inside. Override is also used to maintain Ash’s own weapon and can be used on other machines, able to rapidly gain an understanding of any device and manipulate it. Ash has also combined her semblance with Lightning and Fire dust to power up golems and manipulate them with her own Semblance, though this ability comes with the danger of an explosion due to an overload of Dust along with a great physical and mental toll.
Override’s main weakness is the fact that it is used in conjunction with Aura- as such, Aura can be used to overpower Override’s effects. Continued resistance with Aura will eventually drain Ash’s Aura reserves and leave her nigh helpless against any danger she might face.
Weaponry
Ash uses a steampunk-themed weapon titled Clockwork. Clockwork is, as Ash would put it, a "miracle of modern weaponry," a four-form weapon with surprisingly smooth transitions thanks to Ash's semblance and mechanical wit.
Clockwork's Form 1 takes the shape of a standard briefcase and is Clockwork's resting form. The compacted size makes this form of Clockwork ideal for traveling, but the condensed machinery also allows it to function as a neat shield or projectile if needed.
Clockwork's 2nd form takes the form of a hunting rifle equipped with a scope. It fires bullets with piercing capabilities and its range makes it Ash's go-to when engaging from a distance.
Clockwork's 3rd form is a minigun with rapid-firing capabilities. Clockwork does a large amount of work in the close to mid range, making it Ash's favorite for destroying Grimm.
Clockwork's 4th form is that of a shotgun, that fires a scattering burst of dust that deals large amounts of knockback and close-range pulverization.

Slight update; the artist said she wouldn't be able to start working on it officially until Thursday or Friday.
I'm not bailing, but is there a compromise for the CS until I get the image done?
The CS is about complete. Just there isn't too much I can really do right now, and I rather not use someone else' art to represent my character.

@CAS1006 I mean, you could just WIP your CS no? If you have everything save for the image maybe just give us a brief description in lieu of the image for now?
@datadogie Well done on Russel, I especially like his background and personality. Consider me very curious about what the full extent of "Folding" will do, as it seems your semblance has a good deal of potential. Something tells me he would have interesting interactions with a certain lupine faunus...
Speaking of which I'm going to go ahead and start editing his CS together. I feel as if I'm kind of cheating on the colour naming rule though, you'll see what I mean by that whenever I get him up. If it's insufficient, feel free to let me know, I'm always open to critique.

@CriticalHitI suppose it is more to the GM.
At least in terms of the question.
XD
Otherwise I would have just done that, but I don't want to piss him off with that.

At long last here he is for your consideration oh mighty GM. As I said earlier, I am completely open to feedback concerning all aspects. I'm willing to nerf and or change basically anything here.
Name : Kaldyr Tolbac
Age : 17
Gender : Male
Country of Origin : Menagerie / Mistral
Physique : Kaldyr stands at a relatively average height of 5'9(177cm) and weighs roughly 165 lbs(74kg). His complexion is relatively pale, and he possesses quite a lean build overall.
Race :Faunus (Wolf)
Team : None... yet.
Personality : Kaldyr initially comes off as a stoic person, rarely showing a great deal of emotion at first when in truth he really does care about other people. He'd rather be with a few close friends than in a crowd of acquaintances, as socializing is certainly not his strong suit. He is quite the introvert and tends to be quite reserved around those he doesn't know very well. Kaldyr is also very analytical of everything, unfortunately this also makes him a touch judgmental of people. He is slow to trust others, but once you've earned it, Kaldyr becomes a loyal friend who will do anything for those he cares about. If he was told some secret by a friend it would stay a secret forevermore, as loyalty and trust are huge with him. If someone has a problem, Kaldyr would be the first one in to help. He's the kind of guy to put others before himself and the first to take on danger if it means others don't have to, unfortunately for him this usually ends in him biting off more than he can chew. Finally, Kaldyr is very to the point about matters that concern people he cares for, sometimes to the point of making irrational seeming decisions.
Likes : Thanks to a combination of his his mother's efforts and his own introverted nature, Kaldyr has had a love of reading and books instilled in him. Whenever he's not training or studying you can expect to find him reading some form of novel while others chat. He also greatly enjoys the season of Winter. Something about the lower temperatures and the quiet serenity of the world under a blanket of snow is very appealing to him. Kaldyr's more miscellaneous likes include strategy games, spicy foods, and good old fashioned competition.
Dislikes : One of the quickest ways to get on Kaldyr's bad side is by being either egotistical, a liar or both. Those who like to abuse their power will also find themselves on the other end of his ire, whether they be students bullying others or otherwise. It should go without saying that Kaldyr will respond pretty negatively to anti-Faunus sentiments and he tends to think a great deal less of the people who spout them. Some minor dislikes of his include bland foods, the season of Summer(He burns easily), and being rushed.
Fears : Greatest of all Kaldyr's fears is his fear of being helpless. Befittingly enough of his slow-trusting nature Kaldyr also fears betrayal, the idea that a friend could suddenly turn upon him deeply disturbs the young huntsman in training. Though he has begun to master his fear of bears since the attack encountering a particularly strong Ursa may cause the usually stoic faced Faunus a great deal of distress.
Motivation : Kaldyr is driven to become a huntsman mostly by his twin desires to protect those who can't protect themselves, as well as following in the same path of his father. Another part of him wishes to beat back the savage evils of the Grimm so that Man and Faunus alike can continue to flourish. Yet a third and somewhat childish part of him wants a cause, something to belong to and believe in, and what better cause is there than serving as the heroes who stand against darkness?
Brief Bio : Kaldyr was born the eldest son of three to a Faunus couple living in Menagerie. His father was a huntsman who'd graduated from Haven Academy and built himself a reputation there (not the good kind), and his mother was an author. Soon enough, his father's line of work required that he move back to Mistral. Kaldyr and his younger brother were absolutely enamoured with the idea of huntsmen and huntresses, so much so that they begged their father to let them go with him. A few weeks worth of bargaining and pleading later and the family was on the next boat out of Menagerie.
Upon their arrival in Mistral one of the first things he noticed was the general disdain that most people he met seemed to hold for him because he was a Faunus. As such he became much more reserved and introverted throughout his time there. A few more years passed and everything was going well, Kaldyr had just finished his first year at Sanctum, and his family was happy.
Then the attack happened. Bandits swarmed the village, and started taking everything that wasn't nailed down. Unfortunately for them however, they took too long. The Grimm showed up, and the bloodbath began. Amidst the chaos, Kaldyr's father and his team picked off the Grimm one by one as they were focused on the looters. The last Grimm however, an Ursa near death, got a lucky strike in and crippled the cocky huntsman. Panicking, Kaldyr grabbed the shield on his back and broke into a mad dash over to his father as the Ursa inched ever closer to it's incapacitated prey. The shadowy beast raised it's claws and let out a triumphant roar as the boy dashed to his wounded father's side. The Ursa brought it's claw down to finish its wounded foe- but it instead met with Kaldyr's shield. The beast recoiled and was confused long enough for the other huntsmen and huntresses to finish it. It was there, out of breath, and at his father's side that his will to become a huntsman became ironclad.
With his father crippled, his days of being a huntsman came to an end, but the family remained in Mistral long enough for Kaldyr to graduate from Sanctum. His family planned to move back to Menagerie, sure it was crowded and the ever enigmatic White Fang were more present there than anywhere else in Remnant, but it was also much safer than the other kingdoms. Kaldyr however, had a different destination in mind. Beacon Academy is where he would go and realize his dream to become a man that would protect those who could not not protect themselves.
Semblance : Framtíðarsýn or "Future Sight" Framtíðarsýn allows Kaldyr to focus on a single creature, and foresee what their next intented actions will be. Kaldyr perceives this as a sort of reverse after image, made of his dark blue aura. By integrating this ability into his fighting style, Kaldyr is capable of dishing out incredibly effective counter-attacks. For example, if Kaldyr were fighting a Deathstalker and used Framtíðarsýn against it, he'd be able to see what kind of action the Deathstalker would try to pull off next i.e (Left claw swipe, Right claw swipe, Stinger, retreat, charge). Framtíðarsýn also grows in strength the more experienced Kaldyr is at fighting his current target, becoming more accurate, showing a longer prediction, and being less draining to utilize. His semblance however potent, is certainly not without it's limits and flaws. While Framtíðarsýn is very effective against the creatures of Grimm, it is hampered against sentient targets like Humans and Faunus. The main reason for this being that a person can change their mind or intentions on a whim, while the Grimm have no such free will and usually follow through on their lethal instincts. His semblance can also be fooled, feint attacks will still trip him up 9 times out of 10, and attacks with delayed effects such as poison are undetectable to Kaldyr's semblance. As mentioned earlier Framtíðarsýn works much better against targets Kaldyr has fought before, meaning that in a encounter against an unfamiliar enemy, Framtíðarsýn is severely weakened, and it's predictions are much less accurate. Framtíðarsýn can also only be used in bursts lest he burn through all of his aura, and there is a delay before Kaldyr can switch his current target.
Weaponry : Kvöld and Dögun - Kaldyr's weapons of choice are a sword and shield pairing named Kvöld and Dögun.
Kvöld "Dusk" - Kvöld is a menacing yet elegant looking blade with a single sharp edge. Much like Dögun, a number of the weapon's parts are a deep blue, namely the hilt and a single strip of metal that runs down the length of the blade, whilst the rest of the sword is made of a dark, lightweight metal that allows for Dust to adhere to it. Hidden in the blunt side of Kvöld, is a number of small metal plates that can be deployed to cover Kvöld's edge and make the length of the weapon bulkier, blunt, and almost... rounded? This has a unique purpose aside from being a simple guard but first...
Dögun "Dawn" - Dögun is a large, thick, and heavy heater shield with bladed edges. Like Kvöld, some of the weapons parts are a deep blue, the bladed edges being one of the only parts that are not coloured in such a way. The shield's deadly edges are made of a similar dark metal to Kvöld, but they do not permit dust adherence. By pushing a button on one of the straps, Kaldyr can cause Dögun to begin spinning rapidly, deflecting melee attackers much easier and acting almost like a saw if he chooses to attack. This makes Kaldyr a very dangerous foe in close combat. Dögun also bears a slot in the top that serves as a dust reservoir, wide enough for Kvöld to fit into comfortably. By momentarily sheathing Kvöld within Dögun, Kaldyr can coat his sword in dust for a number of effects (i.e. flaming sword for fire dust, disabling strikes with lightning dust etc.). Dögun also has a couple of grooves that lead down the length of the shield that allow it to expand outwards. This too has a unique purpose.
If he chooses to, Kaldyr can combine both his weapons by sheathing Kvöld into Dögun and pulling a trigger on the blade's hilt, causing the sword's guard to deploy before elongating massively and sending the shield towards the weapon's new tip, the shield's grooves let it expand outwards to reveal the combination of both Kvöld and Dögun: a beast of a weapon known as Miðnætti Hylja.
Miðnætti Hylja "Midnight's Howl" - Miðnætti Hylja is a gigantic battleaxe, formed by combining Kvöld and Dögun, with Kvöld making up the weapon's handle and Dögun becoming the business end of the axe.The weapon retains it's parent weapon's black and blue colour schemes and is a sight to behold. The weapon is capable of devastating blows, but it is very heavy and thus cannot be used for long periods of time without risking self injury and fatigue. It is also worth noting that Miðnætti Hylja is incapable of using dust of any sort, it relies on it's raw strength and sheer size to dish out devastating strikes. The transformation to and from Miðnætti Hylja is not instant so Kaldyr only really uses it if he knows that he can get a good number of attacks on a target. If Miðnætti Hylja makes contact, it WILL hurt.
Other :
-Being a Faunus, Kaldyr possesses enhanced senses of sight and hearing
- He holds a neutral opinion on the White Fang
Oh, and remember when I said I was kind of cheating with the colour naming rule? Yeah, so his last name is an anagram for "Cobalt" if that's not sufficient I'll change it to an actual colour, in fact I already have a shade in mind. The only part that sucks about that is I have to make a new header in that case.... Anyways, lemme know what you think!

Yeah, so his last name is an anagram for "Cobalt" if that's not sufficient I'll change it to an actual colour, in fact I already have a shade in mind. The only part that sucks about that is I have to make a new header in that case.... Anyways, lemme know what you think!

A norse name? Interesting.

@datadogie Surprised I'm not the only with a Feline.
Meow meow. Felines have a lot more to sway them, in my opinion, so it makes them fun to play. Faunus have shown to have some characteristics of their mother animal, an example being Blake following a laser pen in Volume... 2? So yeah - catnip, yarn, and the funny fact that he's afraid of mice, which he should realistically want to poke.
Then again, I was tempted to do a fox at first, then remembered I had that adorable picture and was like "Yup. Cat."
@datadogie Well done on Russel, I especially like his background and personality. Consider me very curious about what the full extent of "Folding" will do, as it seems your semblance has a good deal of potential. Something tells me he would have interesting interactions with a certain lupine faunus...
Thank you! And yeah, it'll be interesting to see Russell and Kaldyr interact (if Russell doesn't squirm his way out first).

I guess I'll just post the picture-less version of the CS.
Because I don't want to be the one that holds up a project for a week because art-- mostly because... "That would be unfair."
So I'll do my best to describe this complicated attire with his looks. Because it is quite a bit on paper.
Edit: I sent Hitman the CS, mostly because.
"Is this too much?"
Goal was to have an "Eh" weapon, to a person who isn't the most skilled in a lot of areas, but has quite a lot in terms of support. And like everyone, has the capacity to grow as a person as does their martial skills. So I designed around that in mind to reflect that.

Very tired. Here is CS. Bedtime now. Meow!Russell Vermillion
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Country of Origin: Vale
Physique: Russell stands at an absolutely amazing height of 5’2, and weight sa total of 98Ib (which is about 44.4kg).
Race: Faunus (Cat)
Team:
(Leave blank atm)
Personality: Like a cat, Russell is endlessly curious in the world around him. Though timid at times, as well as generally being a shy Faunus, he always tries to think creatively and can come up with ideas that may (or may not) work. One surefire way to know that Russell is warming up to someone is that he’ll become a little more playful around them, and though trying to be friendly to those that he hasn’t met yet, he’ll stick around those that he does known a lot more than trying to meet new people. Russell is somewhat childlike in nature, and he can take negatives, either insults or bad interactions or viewings in general, very badly.
Likes: Of people, Russell is a fan of those that are friendly. Though he appreciates people attempting to help him out when he is going through rough times, he much more appreciates those people that know when they should back off and let him have some time to himself. Of items and the world, Russell enjoys greenery and the outdoors, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a fan of being indoors sometimes. He also very much enjoys cardboard boxes, and likes to see himself as adorable, just to keep himself happy.
Dislikes: As a Faunus, Russell is very much in dislike of racism against Faunus. From this, he is not just against Faunus racism but all kinds of racism, including racism against Humans. He is not a fan of people who try to put themselves above others in a negative way - criminals, dictators, even down to bullies.
Fears: Russell is afraid of insects, and terrified of spiders. Contrary to his heritage, Russell is also afraid of most small rodents, including mice and rats.
Motivation: Russell wishes to become a Huntsman as it feels that it gives him a freedom that he would not be able to have otherwise. Not just a freedom in that he can go where he pleases and have his own picking of jobs that he would stumble upon, and the freedom to be able to protect others, but also a freedom of safety and respect. Whilst the job itself is unsafe, Russell feels that being a Huntsman would allow others to look up to him and respect him for who he is and what he does, not look at him as a Faunus and an individual from Humans. He also feels that it would allow him to be personally safe, being able to learn how to protect himself and, in addition, protect others.
Brief Bio: Being born as a Faunus, it’s inevitable that Russell received some level of abuse in his life. Even Human children bullied the Faunus children, and so it was through most of early school that Russell was forced to endure the harassment that had been placed on him from his birth. This, however, gave him a purpose, gave him a view and a want to make things better between Humans and Faunus. It was very early in his life that he decided he wanted to be a Huntsman, to grow into a protector of those that were like him and suffering even worse than him.
At the same time, it was desperation. Russell wanted an out, wanted to get away from the horrors and the abuse as fast as he could. He trained as hard as he could because he wanted to be seen, wanted to be noticed and have the skills early to be able to get into Beacon Academy as fast as he could. Only when he was in Beacon, he decided, would he allow himself to slow down. His efforts, finally, were rewarded when he received a waiver; he could join Beacon Academy. An early invite to sanctuary.
(empahsis on brief. a one or two paragraph rundown is more than sufficient)
Semblance: Fold - When in a position of extreme danger and potential death, Russell can turn his body completely lifeless, removing his control from it. It’s a final measure for survival, as by removing his control he removes it’s ability to project emotions and from looking alive, and in addition, Folding increases the durability of his body and can keep him alive even to physical damage taken whilst his aura is down.
There is a cost, however. The minor trouble is that it can take time for Russell to regain control of his body - whilst Folding, he is able to still able to have all of his senses apart from feeling any pain, but still needs to regain control over his body. Part of that, however, is the major flaw in Folding - when he regains control of his body again, he will instantly fall into major distress and extreme pain, as well as any additional pain that he received whilst using Fold (so, don’t drop him). Better pain for a while than living, though.
Weaponry:Cinders and Ashes
Really looking forward to this! Well-done, especially with such a limited amount of time.
At long last here he is for your consideration oh mighty GM. As I said earlier, I am completely open to feedback concerning all aspects. I'm willing to nerf and or change basically anything here.
Name : Kaldyr Tolbac
Age : 17
Gender : Male
Country of Origin : Menagerie / Mistral
Physique : Kaldyr stands at a relatively average height of 5'9(177cm) and weighs roughly 165 lbs(74kg). His complexion is relatively pale, and he possesses quite a lean build overall.
Race :Faunus (Wolf)
Team : None... yet.
Personality : Kaldyr initially comes off as a stoic person, rarely showing a great deal of emotion at first when in truth he really does care about other people. He'd rather be with a few close friends than in a crowd of acquaintances, as socializing is certainly not his strong suit. He is quite the introvert and tends to be quite reserved around those he doesn't know very well. Kaldyr is also very analytical of everything, unfortunately this also makes him a touch judgmental of people. He is slow to trust others, but once you've earned it, Kaldyr becomes a loyal friend who will do anything for those he cares about. If he was told some secret by a friend it would stay a secret forevermore, as loyalty and trust are huge with him. If someone has a problem, Kaldyr would be the first one in to help. He's the kind of guy to put others before himself and the first to take on danger if it means others don't have to, unfortunately for him this usually ends in him biting off more than he can chew. Finally, Kaldyr is very to the point about matters that concern people he cares for, sometimes to the point of making irrational seeming decisions.
Likes : Thanks to a combination of his his mother's efforts and his own introverted nature, Kaldyr has had a love of reading and books instilled in him. Whenever he's not training or studying you can expect to find him reading some form of novel while others chat. He also greatly enjoys the season of Winter. Something about the lower temperatures and the quiet serenity of the world under a blanket of snow is very appealing to him. Kaldyr's more miscellaneous likes include strategy games, spicy foods, and good old fashioned competition.
Dislikes : One of the quickest ways to get on Kaldyr's bad side is by being either egotistical, a liar or both. Those who like to abuse their power will also find themselves on the other end of his ire, whether they be students bullying others or otherwise. It should go without saying that Kaldyr will respond pretty negatively to anti-Faunus sentiments and he tends to think a great deal less of the people who spout them. Some minor dislikes of his include bland foods, the season of Summer(He burns easily), and being rushed.
Fears : Greatest of all Kaldyr's fears is his fear of being helpless. Befittingly enough of his slow-trusting nature Kaldyr also fears betrayal, the idea that a friend could suddenly turn upon him deeply disturbs the young huntsman in training. Though he has begun to master his fear of bears since the attack encountering a particularly strong Ursa may cause the usually stoic faced Faunus a great deal of distress.
Motivation : Kaldyr is driven to become a huntsman mostly by his twin desires to protect those who can't protect themselves, as well as following in the same path of his father. Another part of him wishes to beat back the savage evils of the Grimm so that Man and Faunus alike can continue to flourish. Yet a third and somewhat childish part of him wants a cause, something to belong to and believe in, and what better cause is there than serving as the heroes who stand against darkness?
Brief Bio : Kaldyr was born the eldest son of three to a Faunus couple living in Menagerie. His father was a huntsman who'd graduated from Haven Academy and built himself a reputation there (not the good kind), and his mother was an author. Soon enough, his father's line of work required that he move back to Mistral. Kaldyr and his younger brother were absolutely enamoured with the idea of huntsmen and huntresses, so much so that they begged their father to let them go with him. A few weeks worth of bargaining and pleading later and the family was on the next boat out of Menagerie.
Upon their arrival in Mistral one of the first things he noticed was the general disdain that most people he met seemed to hold for him because he was a Faunus. As such he became much more reserved and introverted throughout his time there. A few more years passed and everything was going well, Kaldyr had just finished his first year at Sanctum, and his family was happy.
Then the attack happened. Bandits swarmed the village, and started taking everything that wasn't nailed down. Unfortunately for them however, they took too long. The Grimm showed up, and the bloodbath began. Amidst the chaos, Kaldyr's father and his team picked off the Grimm one by one as they were focused on the looters. The last Grimm however, an Ursa near death, got a lucky strike in and crippled the cocky huntsman. Panicking, Kaldyr grabbed the shield on his back and broke into a mad dash over to his father as the Ursa inched ever closer to it's incapacitated prey. The shadowy beast raised it's claws and let out a triumphant roar as the boy dashed to his wounded father's side. The Ursa brought it's claw down to finish its wounded foe- but it instead met with Kaldyr's shield. The beast recoiled and was confused long enough for the other huntsmen and huntresses to finish it. It was there, out of breath, and at his father's side that his will to become a huntsman became ironclad.
With his father crippled, his days of being a huntsman came to an end, but the family remained in Mistral long enough for Kaldyr to graduate from Sanctum. His family planned to move back to Menagerie, sure it was crowded and the ever enigmatic White Fang were more present there than anywhere else in Remnant, but it was also much safer than the other kingdoms. Kaldyr however, had a different destination in mind. Beacon Academy is where he would go and realize his dream to become a man that would protect those who could not not protect themselves.
Semblance : Framtíðarsýn or "Future Sight" Framtíðarsýn allows Kaldyr to focus on a single creature, and foresee what their next intented actions will be. Kaldyr perceives this as a sort of reverse after image, made of his dark blue aura. By integrating this ability into his fighting style, Kaldyr is capable of dishing out incredibly effective counter-attacks. For example, if Kaldyr were fighting a Deathstalker and used Framtíðarsýn against it, he'd be able to see what kind of action the Deathstalker would try to pull off next i.e (Left claw swipe, Right claw swipe, Stinger, retreat, charge). Framtíðarsýn also grows in strength the more experienced Kaldyr is at fighting his current target, becoming more accurate, showing a longer prediction, and being less draining to utilize. His semblance however potent, is certainly not without it's limits and flaws. While Framtíðarsýn is very effective against the creatures of Grimm, it is hampered against sentient targets like Humans and Faunus. The main reason for this being that a person can change their mind or intentions on a whim, while the Grimm have no such free will and usually follow through on their lethal instincts. His semblance can also be fooled, feint attacks will still trip him up 9 times out of 10, and attacks with delayed effects such as poison are undetectable to Kaldyr's semblance. As mentioned earlier Framtíðarsýn works much better against targets Kaldyr has fought before, meaning that in a encounter against an unfamiliar enemy, Framtíðarsýn is severely weakened, and it's predictions are much less accurate. Framtíðarsýn can also only be used in bursts lest he burn through all of his aura, and there is a delay before Kaldyr can switch his current target.
Weaponry : Kvöld and Dögun - Kaldyr's weapons of choice are a sword and shield pairing named Kvöld and Dögun.
Kvöld "Dusk" - Kvöld is a menacing yet elegant looking blade with a single sharp edge. Much like Dögun, a number of the weapon's parts are a deep blue, namely the hilt and a single strip of metal that runs down the length of the blade, whilst the rest of the sword is made of a dark, lightweight metal that allows for Dust to adhere to it. Hidden in the blunt side of Kvöld, is a number of small metal plates that can be deployed to cover Kvöld's edge and make the length of the weapon bulkier, blunt, and almost... rounded? This has a unique purpose aside from being a simple guard but first...
Dögun "Dawn" - Dögun is a large, thick, and heavy heater shield with bladed edges. Like Kvöld, some of the weapons parts are a deep blue, the bladed edges being one of the only parts that are not coloured in such a way. The shield's deadly edges are made of a similar dark metal to Kvöld, but they do not permit dust adherence. By pushing a button on one of the straps, Kaldyr can cause Dögun to begin spinning rapidly, deflecting melee attackers much easier and acting almost like a saw if he chooses to attack. This makes Kaldyr a very dangerous foe in close combat. Dögun also bears a slot in the top that serves as a dust reservoir, wide enough for Kvöld to fit into comfortably. By momentarily sheathing Kvöld within Dögun, Kaldyr can coat his sword in dust for a number of effects (i.e. flaming sword for fire dust, disabling strikes with lightning dust etc.). Dögun also has a couple of grooves that lead down the length of the shield that allow it to expand outwards. This too has a unique purpose.
If he chooses to, Kaldyr can combine both his weapons by sheathing Kvöld into Dögun and pulling a trigger on the blade's hilt, causing the sword's guard to deploy before elongating massively and sending the shield towards the weapon's new tip, the shield's grooves let it expand outwards to reveal the combination of both Kvöld and Dögun: a beast of a weapon known as Miðnætti Hylja.
Miðnætti Hylja "Midnight's Howl" - Miðnætti Hylja is a gigantic battleaxe, formed by combining Kvöld and Dögun, with Kvöld making up the weapon's handle and Dögun becoming the business end of the axe.The weapon retains it's parent weapon's black and blue colour schemes and is a sight to behold. The weapon is capable of devastating blows, but it is very heavy and thus cannot be used for long periods of time without risking self injury and fatigue. It is also worth noting that Miðnætti Hylja is incapable of using dust of any sort, it relies on it's raw strength and sheer size to dish out devastating strikes. The transformation to and from Miðnætti Hylja is not instant so Kaldyr only really uses it if he knows that he can get a good number of attacks on a target. If Miðnætti Hylja makes contact, it WILL hurt.
Other :
-Being a Faunus, Kaldyr possesses enhanced senses of sight and hearing
- He holds a neutral opinion on the White Fang
Oh, and remember when I said I was kind of cheating with the colour naming rule? Yeah, so his last name is an anagram for "Cobalt" if that's not sufficient I'll change it to an actual colour, in fact I already have a shade in mind. The only part that sucks about that is I have to make a new header in that case.... Anyways, lemme know what you think!
@Hitman
also really like this character. Looks good, though it seems like there's going to be a ton of Faunus at this rate.

No worries, As much as I love my Faunus characters I am planning on bringing in a human xD
though I am stuck between a pair, perhaps yall can help me out? Would ya'll prefer a Dust Witch in training, long range glass cannon sort of character or a more up close and personal tank-y kind of character for our group?

(Appearance) No image for now.
Name: Cassius Alexandros Svent
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Country of Origin: Mistral
Physique:
Stands at roughly 6ft, 190lbs, slender arms with slightly thicker thighs and hips, large feet with Lynx ears and a tail.
Race: Feline Faunas.
Team
(Leave blank atm)
Personality: Cassius is distant in a social sense when he isn't putting on a fake smile, dancing to allure or provoke a reaction... And he hates that part of him. But it was the part of him that got results so he could even have a stable life. Cassius is quite insecure due to the reality he is pretty self made without any real guidance, and as such has a hard time putting faith in himself... Questioning if he really did the best he could. The distance he felt with his parents most of his life does not help this, but he does appreciate the help they have given him prepare for a life that would keep him safe.
Yet, without the facade, there is no smile. There is no joy. There is just a sad, mourning expression hidden in his eyes. Even in anger, he grieves in his ignorance of his lack of understanding emotions, or the notion of love and dependency... He fears all of it. Fears it would only make him weaker to compromise. He never really had friends to experience positivity, or anyone to love to have any type of meaningful, loving relationship. Quite paradoxically, as much as he might want a charming man, he feels unworthy. There is nothing for him there -- at least so he believes.
The front he puts on when he isn't entertaining is that of forensics, and wit. When placing himself behind him, he can be quite analytical, and have sarcasm that gives perspective, or just a way to make an ass out of someone. And when angered from when someone pushes his moody attitudes, he is prone to vulgar outburst. Going as far as to go for the jugular based on what he knows and perceives about someone. It is here he is cold as ice, and hot as fire; striking when the iron is hot.
Sometimes he can be unapologetically dismissive, Apathetic, Sassy, Snarky, and downright Condescending.
But when he isn't apathetic and not fully acting on self serving nature, he can be an extreme opposite; caring and compassionate. It is when he gets attached, he fears acting on it, and losing whatever is there. It is this reason he would prefer to remain distant. Else he could come off as paternal, caring... Qualities he fears having.
Yet with his semblance, he knows he very much can control who lives and who dies when circumstances play out. He has to play his hand; and as such can be cunning, and cruel. Even with his fear of attachment, he'd never truly leave his team to die if there is anything he can do.
In a fighting situation, he would very much prefer to end the altercation quickly, and with little effort as possible.
Another curious side is he has a weakness to things he perceives as "Cute".
In many ways, Cassius hates himself to the point where he would willingly try to deprive himself of social interaction if it does not benefit him, to that end... he is selfish to uphold being distant as he is allowed to be.
Likes:
- Cassius loves cute animals such as domestic cats, or well tamed dogs.
- He likes Honey Battered Chicken, Pizza, and Gyros; he is quite the picky eater.
- He likes fashion to a degree, even if he admits designing with his color in mind is very impractical due to the nature of it's range of complexity.
- In a Fight, he prefers to think smarter and not harder.
- Likes to Bake occasionally.
- Likes to Read books, typically fantasy.
- Quiet places, typically in isolation where he can just collect his thoughts.
- Being left alone; while he can warm up, it will not be easy to change his heart here.
- To one degree or another, Men around his age; but he'd be far too shy to admit that, and actively hates this side of him. Preferably those closer to his height with a toned form.
Dislikes:
- Being put on the spot.
- Being used by others. Any type of Vegetarian diet.
- Racial politics, and politics in general; he much rather not have to worry about any of that... Mostly because he is aware of no matter how many freedoms someone has, does not mean you can just change the hearts of others so easily.
- He does not like forced interaction.
- The idea of dating anyone.
- His own sexuality.
- Changing in front of others; despite any form of fitness, he is quite shy of his body.
- Being told to act a way that he otherwise would never act.
- Hypocrites.
Fears:
- The White Fang.
- People trying to get too familiar with him.
- Fighting for a pointless cause.
- Being wrong, and not having all the facts to make an informed decision.
- His indecisiveness.
- Attachment.
- The notion of loving.
- Dependency; both being depended on, and depending on someone.
Motivation: Simple, he wants to do something with his life where he does not have to sit in one place and achieve nothing. If he is going to waste him life to any capacity, he rather it be doing something he deems productive, or helpful -- or at the very least find value in himself in becoming a Huntsmen. At least then he would not feel like a waste of skin.
Brief Bio: As someone born in Mistral, not everything was kind to him, not people,not classmates, not his employers. He didn't really have much when living in the low class house. It wasn't discrimination that put him there, but the sins of the father, and actions of the mother. Both of his parents are Faunus, and Hunters. To him, a beautiful name didn't mean anything to him if he was neglected for his parent's busy lives... It didn't really matter if his mother came from a prestigious tribe that was known for their healing arts; it was her over exhausted nature that made Cassius distant from his family. To him, he had no value in his name. At least his father trained him to fight for himself. Sometimes his mother as well. He just wish he was not caught up from... having to run from the White Fang.
Working from low income, such as helping around with stocking in stores... He had a vain want to present himself as more than gutter trash; with what money he saved up, he bought nice clothing that fit his name sake, took up some form of dancing to show off... it made him feel disgusted with himself that he had to flaunt himself to get anywhere; to him it was perverse. He hated being a dancer that people favored, and he hated every moment people wanted more... He didn't feel appreciated past his physical form. It was this that tainted his perspective of Faunus and Humans equally.
It didn't help he saw many White Fang Riots on what little of the news he could see. His family somewhat at war with them as peacekeepers meant they had to avoid living in obviously nice, wealthy looking homes. It made him always fear for his life... And rightfully so. His family was a target, and by extension, he would be too, especially the more people made note of who he was. His training and specially made weapon came in handy in more than one occasion, with the hidden, heavy Arrows he always had stashed on him, he was a force to be reckoned with, especially if he could sense vitals... Through tweaks, he even had a grappling hook hidden in his Bowblade for the Bow form. This helped him get away from altercations. To have his own money... He needed this for when he couldn't depend on others.
With the White Fang in the shadows,he was getting afraid to go to Haven Academy... During the foggy morning, his parents packed Cassius belongings, and gave him a new Scroll. "Speak your last name to no one. Go to Vale. I've let the Headmaster know of the events going around your life. With results, he thinks you may be qualified. You will be safe in Vale, safer than you are here. This key belong to one of the nicer apartment complexes, you'll be living on the second floor. Speak to no one. And keep to yourself. For the next Four years you will be watched over by an old friend. In the next month, you will be starting your new Life getting the proper training of a Hunter. If danger strikes, you will have people at your side." This being said to him by his mother, she skulked with him in the shadows as they took an airship to Vale. He was told to be strong...
With the day drawing closer, he decided to bury his anxiety to the best of his abilities... But he knew he wasn't going to outright trust others, much less like them. He however knew his efforts may eventually pay off. But putting on a joyous Facade would be incredibly hard. "Effort is all I need... I can do this."
Semblance: The Hands of Life and Death: These Duel Aspects Consist of Light and Darkness. With Light, it is used to heal Humans and Punish Grimm. Where Darkness will do the opposite. In addition, he can see the pulses in the body of all living things, this helps makes up for his lacking eyesight, as well as lets him see physical weaknesses in the body, or at least vital areas to strike.
When in close range, he can coat his weapon in the dark element with a bit of concentration, he can also fire this said element out of his Bow, same for a bolt of healing light. When hands on, Cassius can place whatever energy on a desired target to either heal their wounds, or damage them. In some cases, he might absorb a slight portion of their energy for his own, he can however give his energy to someone else to directly empower them by sacrificing it to an ally.
Despite how versatile his semblance is, he isn't as well versed with it, and only starts with the basics of seeing pulses, healing others, and shooting dark blast.
Weaponry: Eclipse: His weapon is a curved blade that can be used with fluid motions to both deflect, and use as a proper blade, but when it unfolds into a bow, he mounts it on his left arm, practically able to use it as a bow, as well as a impromptu buckler shield. Because of the fact it does not use bullets, he has to have special, and durable arrows that can be used practically. Some of the Arrow heads are for different applications, he however is wary of using Dust, but does have some well concealed in some of his arrows.
Other: Cassius knows very little in terms of martial arts, and this helps him weave strikes with his arrows, but he prefers to avoid confrontation if there are others present. He uses his semblance to plan around the fight, or decide to take detours when alone, mostly to avoid wasting unnecessary energy, or just so he can preform a debilitating attack to incapacitate his enemy.
Despite his use of night vision, his eyesight is not that great without his glasses. However his semblance more than makes up for this weakness-- even if the range of the pulses he can see are a max of 15 - to 25 meters.
Tends to have mixes for himself in his supplies he will be keeping his room; surprisingly, all over the counter based items.
Cassius has very pale skin with dark circles under his eyes. His eyes are a Hazel Green, the green clearly is more discernible than his tones of brown and gold. Typically he wears rounded square like glasses.
His eyebrows themselves are Dark, Jet black; which is an interesting contrast considering his hair is naturally a rich, silky chocolate brown. His hair itself is often either shoulder length, or just shy of it by two inches with layers; mostly so it does not get in the way. In addition, the hair is wavy.
His face has a slightly oval shape to it with decently high cheek bones that jut out. A Small chin that is pronounced enough, not very receded, but not just jutting out.
Perpetually has has a blank expression for the most part; could be interpenetrated as sad due to the lack of general motions. As such, you can see visible strain in his expressions when he is forced to smile, even if just a basic range of sarcasm.

For his attire, he wears a Black Tanktop, with a flowey sleeveless Tunic like shirt that rest slightly over his thighs, it is a black color as well. He wears Black shorts; though at first glance you will not be able to tell he is wearing shorts due to his long boots that he wears over his legs that extend past his knees. The boots are very secure with a slight heel.
These boots offer good protection without impeding his motions.
Over his tunic, he wears a large coat with sleeves and embroidered cuff. At the waist there is a strap on the inside of the coat, as is there one located at the breast. The purpose of these straps is to keep fastened around the body. It very much is colored after his name; which consist of Black, Dark Blue, to a Dark Lavender color in places. It however is mostly blue.
The attire hides his weapons well, as well as his myriad of disposable arrows.

Personality: Cassius is distant in a social sense when he isn't putting on a fake smile, dancing to allure or provoke a reaction... And he hates that part of him. But it was the part of him that got results so he could even have a stable life. Cassius is quite insecure due to the reality he is pretty self made without any real guidance, and as such has a hard time putting faith in himself... Questioning if he really did the best he could. The distance he felt with his parents most of his life does not help this, but he does appreciate the help they have given him prepare for a life that would keep him safe.
Yet, without the facade, there is no smile. There is no joy. There is just a sad, mourning expression hidden in his eyes. Even in anger, he grieves in his ignorance of his lack of understanding emotions, or the notion of love and dependency... He fears all of it. Fears it would only make him weaker to compromise. He never really had friends to experience positivity, or anyone to love to have any type of meaningful, loving relationship. Quite paradoxically, as much as he might want a charming man, he feels unworthy. There is nothing for him there -- at least so he believes.
The front he puts on when he isn't entertaining is that of forensics, and wit. When placing himself behind him, he can be quite analytical, and have sarcasm that gives perspective, or just a way to make an ass out of someone. And when angered from when someone pushes his moody attitudes, he is prone to vulgar outburst. Going as far as to go for the jugular based on what he knows and perceives about someone. It is here he is cold as ice, and hot as fire; striking when the iron is hot.
Sometimes he can be unapologetically dismissive, Apathetic, Sassy, Snarky, and downright Condescending.
But when he isn't apathetic and not fully acting on self serving nature, he can be an extreme opposite; caring and compassionate. It is when he gets attached, he fears acting on it, and losing whatever is there. It is this reason he would prefer to remain distant. Else he could come off as paternal, caring... Qualities he fears having.
Yet with his semblance, he knows he very much can control who lives and who dies when circumstances play out. He has to play his hand; and as such can be cunning, and cruel. Even with his fear of attachment, he'd never truly leave his team to die if there is anything he can do.
In a fighting situation, he would very much prefer to end the altercation quickly, and with little effort as possible.
Another curious side is he has a weakness to things he perceives as "Cute".
In many ways, Cassius hates himself to the point where he would willingly try to deprive himself of social interaction if it does not benefit him, to that end... he is selfish to uphold being distant as he is allowed to be.
Likes:
- Cassius loves cute animals such as domestic cats, or well tamed dogs.
- He likes Honey Battered Chicken, Pizza, and Gyros; he is quite the picky eater.
- He likes fashion to a degree, even if he admits designing with his color in mind is very impractical due to the nature of it's range of complexity.
- In a Fight, he prefers to think smarter and not harder.
- Likes to Bake occasionally.
- Likes to Read books, typically fantasy.
- Quiet places, typically in isolation where he can just collect his thoughts.
- Being left alone; while he can warm up, it will not be easy to change his heart here.
- To one degree or another, Men around his age; but he'd be far too shy to admit that, and actively hates this side of him. Preferably those closer to his height with a toned form.
Dislikes:
- Being put on the spot.
- Being used by others. Any type of Vegetarian diet.
- Racial politics, and politics in general; he much rather not have to worry about any of that... Mostly because he is aware of no matter how many freedoms someone has, does not mean you can just change the hearts of others so easily.
- He does not like forced interaction.
- The idea of dating anyone.
- His own sexuality.
- Changing in front of others; despite any form of fitness, he is quite shy of his body.
- Being told to act a way that he otherwise would never act.
- Hypocrites.
Fears:
- The White Fang.
- People trying to get too familiar with him.
- Fighting for a pointless cause.
- Being wrong, and not having all the facts to make an informed decision.
- His indecisiveness.
- Attachment.
- The notion of loving.
- Dependency; both being depended on, and depending on someone.
Motivation: Simple, he wants to do something with his life where he does not have to sit in one place and achieve nothing. If he is going to waste him life to any capacity, he rather it be doing something he deems productive, or helpful -- or at the very least find value in himself in becoming a Huntsmen. At least then he would not feel like a waste of skin.
Brief Bio: As someone born in Mistral, not everything was kind to him, not people,not classmates, not his employers. He didn't really have much when living in the low class house. It wasn't discrimination that put him there, but the sins of the father, and actions of the mother. Both of his parents are Faunus, and Hunters. To him, a beautiful name didn't mean anything to him if he was neglected for his parent's busy lives... It didn't really matter if his mother came from a prestigious tribe that was known for their healing arts; it was her over exhausted nature that made Cassius distant from his family. To him, he had no value in his name. At least his father trained him to fight for himself. Sometimes his mother as well. He just wish he was not caught up from... having to run from the White Fang.
Working from low income, such as helping around with stocking in stores... He had a vain want to present himself as more than gutter trash; with what money he saved up, he bought nice clothing that fit his name sake, took up some form of dancing to show off... it made him feel disgusted with himself that he had to flaunt himself to get anywhere; to him it was perverse. He hated being a dancer that people favored, and he hated every moment people wanted more... He didn't feel appreciated past his physical form. It was this that tainted his perspective of Faunus and Humans equally.
It didn't help he saw many White Fang Riots on what little of the news he could see. His family somewhat at war with them as peacekeepers meant they had to avoid living in obviously nice, wealthy looking homes. It made him always fear for his life... And rightfully so. His family was a target, and by extension, he would be too, especially the more people made note of who he was. His training and specially made weapon came in handy in more than one occasion, with the hidden, heavy Arrows he always had stashed on him, he was a force to be reckoned with, especially if he could sense vitals... Through tweaks, he even had a grappling hook hidden in his Bowblade for the Bow form. This helped him get away from altercations. To have his own money... He needed this for when he couldn't depend on others.
With the White Fang in the shadows,he was getting afraid to go to Haven Academy... During the foggy morning, his parents packed Cassius belongings, and gave him a new Scroll. "Speak your last name to no one. Go to Vale. I've let the Headmaster know of the events going around your life. With results, he thinks you may be qualified. You will be safe in Vale, safer than you are here. This key belong to one of the nicer apartment complexes, you'll be living on the second floor. Speak to no one. And keep to yourself. For the next Four years you will be watched over by an old friend. In the next month, you will be starting your new Life getting the proper training of a Hunter. If danger strikes, you will have people at your side." This being said to him by his mother, she skulked with him in the shadows as they took an airship to Vale. He was told to be strong...
With the day drawing closer, he decided to bury his anxiety to the best of his abilities... But he knew he wasn't going to outright trust others, much less like them. He however knew his efforts may eventually pay off. But putting on a joyous Facade would be incredibly hard. "Effort is all I need... I can do this."
Semblance: The Hands of Life and Death: These Duel Aspects Consist of Light and Darkness. With Light, it is used to heal Humans and Punish Grimm. Where Darkness will do the opposite. In addition, he can see the pulses in the body of all living things, this helps makes up for his lacking eyesight, as well as lets him see physical weaknesses in the body, or at least vital areas to strike.
When in close range, he can coat his weapon in the dark element with a bit of concentration, he can also fire this said element out of his Bow, same for a bolt of healing light. When hands on, Cassius can place whatever energy on a desired target to either heal their wounds, or damage them. In some cases, he might absorb a slight portion of their energy for his own, he can however give his energy to someone else to directly empower them by sacrificing it to an ally.
Despite how versatile his semblance is, he isn't as well versed with it, and only starts with the basics of seeing pulses, healing others, and shooting dark blast.
Weaponry: Eclipse: His weapon is a curved blade that can be used with fluid motions to both deflect, and use as a proper blade, but when it unfolds into a bow, he mounts it on his left arm, practically able to use it as a bow, as well as a impromptu buckler shield. Because of the fact it does not use bullets, he has to have special, and durable arrows that can be used practically. Some of the Arrow heads are for different applications, he however is wary of using Dust, but does have some well concealed in some of his arrows.
Other: Cassius knows very little in terms of martial arts, and this helps him weave strikes with his arrows, but he prefers to avoid confrontation if there are others present. He uses his semblance to plan around the fight, or decide to take detours when alone, mostly to avoid wasting unnecessary energy, or just so he can preform a debilitating attack to incapacitate his enemy.
Despite his use of night vision, his eyesight is not that great without his glasses. However his semblance more than makes up for this weakness-- even if the range of the pulses he can see are a max of 15 - to 25 meters.
Tends to have mixes for himself in his supplies he will be keeping his room; surprisingly, all over the counter based items.

No worries, As much as I love my Faunus characters I am planning on bringing in a human xD
though I am stuck between a pair, perhaps yall can help me out? Would ya'll prefer a Dust Witch in training, long range glass cannon sort of character or a more up close and personal tank-y kind of character for our group?
It seems that our current cast specializes in mid to close range. Dust witch would fit in well.
That being said, close-rangers are a RWBY staple, so whatever you want.

Name Tinu Si Heuong
Age 17
Gender Female
Country of Origin Mistral
Physique
Tinu stands at about 5’2”, and has a weight of around 115 lbs. Her body is very toned due to the training she’s done to make her as quick and agile as she is. She also has a cat’s tail, which moves in ways that show emotions like excitement, comfort, love, or sadness.
Race - Feline-based Faunus
Team
(Leave blank atm)
Personality
Tinu has a fun-loving, friendly soul that tends to accidentally cause trouble from time to time. Her respect for life shines through in all aspects of her life, like her fighting style and her adamant refusal to eat meat. Often, she goes on unannounced detours, enjoying meeting new people and seeing new places. She has a sense of humor that includes slightly annoying her friends, potentially to their chagrin. She has little difficulty empathyzing with anything, ranging from the small and short lives of the pharaoh ant to the lives of people around her. Her biggest downfall is not only stubbornness, but also anger when people act without care for the world around them.
She tends to be protecive of life in general, being her friends’ lives or her enemies’. She opposes strongly against the act of killing in battle, the exception being Grimm. She is unafraid to do whatever it takes to uphold this value, even if it ends up ruining a mission. When there’s someone injured or weak that requires aid, she’s the first to throw herself in front of them. If she can be a distraction and save a life, then she’s succeeded in her eyes. This trait is more of a negative rather than a positive. It can lead to her making foolish actions in battle that negatively affect her health, not that she would care. Her protectiveness can also lead to emotional outbursts, especially when she feels as if people around her don’t realize the preciousness of life.
In battle, Tinu tends to be playful and condescending, abusing others’ anger or annoyance to her advantage. This, along with her high mobility and her fighting style focusing on evasion, lets her play the role of decoy. She excels in the act of provocation and enjoys making her opponents feel played with. This allows her to fight devensively and avoid seriously hurting anything (with the exception of the Grimm), while still being effective. Her main goal in battle is to abuse the enemy’s emotions to make them focus on her.

Fears
The fear of losing control over her emotions is prevalent. She herself is a ticking time bomb, and something in the future will make her explode.
The fear of fatally hurting something out of anger.
Motivation
Her main motivation is her deep desire (and sometimes impulse) to protect everyone so that they themselves don’t have to. This ranges from children, to the elderly, to animals, and even to other fully capable students. She also believes that the spread her parents’ teachings could change the world for the better, and even inspire the next generation to make a group based off of them. To become a Huntress would allow her to protect others with the ability to become respected enough for her ideals to be considered.
Brief Bio
“Anyone’s capable of great good and great evil. Everyone has to be treated like they’re worth giving a chance.”
The quote that defines Tinu herself is also one that comes from her parents’ teachings. Her parents’ great-grandparents had once been part of a tribe, one that was almost nomadic in nature. The teachings of the tribe had been of peace, that all living things were precious and connected and life was meant to be preserved. The nature of the people was tranquil. The culture of this long-forgotten tribe was passed on by Tinu’s lineage, and it was seen as her duty to uphold these values.
Upon hearing of Tinu’s want to learn to fight, her parents were slightly put off, yet not surprised. They taught her a way to fight that would have the greatest chance of preserving life, and also taught her to travel the path of least resistance. This fighting style was defined by its’ coiling and uncoiling motions, swift and evasive in nature. The constant circular movements were made to represent something peacefully flowing through wind, and they were said to evoke the explosive power of it. Her parents hoped after learning this that she would still opt for a life of peace.
But learning of Huntsmen and Huntresses only further increased her want to protect others. It was a profession that her parents first expressed disdain of, telling her that it went against her teachings.
Their opinion changed after witnessing Tinu go through several events in her life. They all had a similar pattern; a person, injured or simply physically weak, was in need of saving from someone larger than them. In all of these situations, her semblance activated, diverting the bully’s attention from the other person long enough for them to escape. It wasn’t as if she had only done this when she knew she would come out safely, either. Many of those situations were with people much older and stronger than her, yet she showed little to no fear in the face of these events. After her parents became aware of this, they began to realize that the Huntsmen and Huntresses were the embodiment of the desire to preserve life.
As a result, they allowed the young Tinu to begin studying more and more about the outside world, while still teaching her of her culture. She quickly became proficient enough in martial arts to take down Grimm, and her ability to fight them only improved. Her parents allowed her to apply for Beacon, and she had been accepted.
She chose Beacon because of the name. Beacon made her think of a beacon of hope. A beacon of hope was something she wanted to be for everyone, no matter who they were.
Semblance
“All Eyes On Me!” - Tinu’s self-named semblance represents her desire to protect. To be activated, Tinu must first have eye contact with the target. When activated, Tinu makes her presence unbearably known to her target. The target would describe it as like they couldn’t keep their eyes off of her no matter how hard they tried. The semblance requires concentration, meaning if she is hit or if something happens that makes her divert her attention from using the semblance, it’ll deactivate. The main downside to the ability is that because it requires extreme concentration, it becomes hard for Tinu to move without crashing into something and unconsciously deactivating the semblance. It can be activated in quick succession as long as it was consciously deactivated. If she was hit or something suddenly got her full attention, the semblance would not be able to be used for 60 seconds. Most powerful with a team.
Weaponry - Lom and Tam
Two 12-ribbed, iron folding fans. The fans have both the ability to parry strikes when unfolded and to strike while folded. Both fans have air dust crystals imbued within them. The crystals can be charged, but only while the fans are unfolded. They are charged by either the wind itself or going through movement that is similar to the wind. In Tinu’s case, her fighting style perfectly compliments these weapons. Her aforementioned swift, circular, and flowing movements simulate the wind and allow the dust crystals to be charged (albeit slower than just having wind blow on them naturally.) If she was just moving and doing nothing else in an attempt to charge them, it’d take about a minute for them to fully charge. Only when the crystals are fully charged are when Tinu can fold the fan with the charged crystal. This releases the energy in the form of a blast of wind, one that can propel her in any direction she chooses. It can also be used to hit far away enemies.
Other
Tinu is a strict vegetarian.
She has many quotes and proverbs memorized.

I think I did this right? I think he's a decent character, though if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears!
Name: Indigo Carnelian
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Country of Origin: Vacuo
Physique:
Indigo would consider himself of good physique, standing at a decent 5’7” (170cm) and roughly 142lbs (64.4kg). His complexion is tanned from growing up in the harsh desert sun, and he has an athletic build that he constantly wants to improve.
Race: Human
Team
Personality
At first glance, Indigo may seem a bit snide and cocky due to constantly keeping a smirk on his face, but you could think of it as his natural smile. He’s the type of person who does his best to look at the bright side of things, but instead of facing the world with an almost hopeful and energetic smile, he chooses to face it with what he believes is a confident disposition hardened by the desert. He hardly has any boundaries in terms of a conversation, feeling he has little to nothing to hide and he doesn’t mind going out of his way to be extroverted, but he does his best to respect other people’s boundaries when he realizes he may be causing discomfort. Granted, he has a bad habit of not choosing his words carefully which doesn’t help him appear any less rude or intimidating, but those who know him know to take these comments with a grain of salt as Indigo means the best.
In combat, Indigo switches tones to be a bit more rational and patient against his opponents, trying to get them to reveal a moment of weakness for him to exploit. While he prefers to stay far from his opponent due to the nature of his ranged weapon, he has no issue with trying to overpower and outsmart them if they get a bit too close for comfort. He values cooperation as a part of his gameplan, and does his best to point out his enemies potential flaws or tactics to his team. He also loves dust cartridges for the versatility they can provide, especially with the use of his sniper.
Likes: Indigo unsurprisingly likes hotter weather, preferring Summer heat over the frigid weather of Winter as it reminds him of home. He also prefers to be active, liking activities such as swimming, running, or simply working out. Other likes include music, competitions, cooking, and action games.
Dislikes
Indigo has a strong dislike for bandits or people who attempt to use another for their own personal gain, having dealt with double-crossers and the like back in Vacuo. He also hates people who try to lone wolf and do their own thing constantly, or people who constantly try to impose their own beliefs on others. To a lesser extent, Indigo also dislikes being forced to sit still.
Fears
Indigo has several fears, some more pressing than others. On a larger scale, Indigo has a fear of failure, not necessarily because he hates failing itself, but what failing can imply depending on the situation, and how bright sides can’t be achieved if he can’t make them happen. He’s also afraid of not being strong enough to defend himself or others. On a lesser scale, he also hates heights.
Motivation
Indigo’s main reason for wanting to become a Hunter is fairly straightforward, Grimm and bandits have been a constant threat and nuisance in Vacuo, and Indigo wants to be able to defend what he cares about. Long term, he wants to see Vacuo flourish like it used to in the distant past, and in order to reach that he believes he needs to become stronger to tame the lawless desert that Vacuo is.
Brief Bio
Indigo was born in a harsher side of Vacuo, being the youngest next to his older brother to a huntsman and huntress. To be brief, essentially his parents were part of a larger group of huntsman and huntresses hired to protect various nomadic transportations that would travel around Vacuo trading, evading bandits, providing supplies, etc, from the many dangers that Vacuo holds. They would also provide training lessons to those who could not reach areas close to Shade academy or training schools where the law was more, well, there. Though things never really went as planned. As Indigo grew, he saw friends disappear from raids, people starving from lack of resources before they arrived, or settlements in the sand destroyed from the Grimm.
Growing up in this environment, you learn fast what will and won’t get you killed, and Indigo was no different. Stay on the move, keep your guard up, strength can defuse a situation when words do nothing, don’t be afraid to fight, various lessons such as these all became reality at one point as he grew up with this nomadic group. And since he was constantly surrounded by trained huntsman who were willing to teach at each new stop, he could practice with new individuals while developing his own fighting style. So when he was old enough to attend an academy, everyone thought that maybe he’d go to Shade and stay in Vacuo. And while it was comforting to him, he thought he’d test his luck outside of his element and experience a world outside of sand, thus applying to Beacon instead. He promised he’d return to his family and friends once he graduated, and with their help, he was off to Vale.
Semblance
Dangerous Game: Dangerous Game is an activated semblance highly dependant on the user’s current aura level. As Indigo’s aura reserves come shockingly close to depleting, Dangerous Game is enhanced. Essentially, activating Dangerous Game on significant lower aura levels increases his reaction time and agility, allowing him to be significantly harder to hit the lower his aura is, as he would not only be faster than normal but also have the reaction time to keep up with his new speed. The drawback stems from how, if his aura isn’t low enough,his semblance is useless because he receives no benefits, as its usefulness is dependant on how close he is to having no aura at all.
Of course, even with these boosts, being able to activate it is also a telltale sign that his aura is significantly low and that he’s on the breaking point of his aura. By using Dangerous Game as a last resort, Indigo hopes that he’ll be able to turn the battle in his favor without getting hit back. And since he also has to activate it, if his aura is gone before he can even use it, then it also is useless to him.
If I had to put it to numbers, if his aura is above around 30% left, Dangerous Game doesn’t do anything.

Essentially the top one is what it looks like, the bottom one is how it changes forms.

@KiwiHalcyonSince yours is more complete, I'll give a proper response.
First being...
The Image Links are broken, but I have a good idea what kind of person he is.
But I find it interesting his aura is basically a gambling one in terms of... "Oh shit, if I get hit, it's lights out."
I find that interesting.
Edit: Oh, now they work.
@KiltmanBagz I pretty much had my character decided since the interest check, I could not account for what others chose, but no way I was surrendering what I had about ready. XD
But I was like. "Two Cats, fine. But 3? Eeeh..."
I'm not going to say "No". But you sorta raise a brow after a while if there is going to be a cat Squad. (Please no.)

I considered that too! It was would have made for some funny character interactions.
@CAS1006
I think I fixed the links, I realized that as soon as I posted the app but I hope it works now. And yeah, his semblance is definitely a gamble of "Can I turn this bad situation around before I get hit and knocked out?"
