Hm, well, aha, there's no pupil(unless that white ring is a pupil I guess??) so it's pretty hard to attribute it to any particular animal. If I had to pick an eye-to-animal closeness though I suppose I'd probably pick some type of gecko. They've got a pretty wide spectrum when it comes to pupils and colors.

Hello! Just wanted to announce my interest. Admittedly what I remember from the first season is fuzzy at best but nothing a little refresher can't fix. I'll see about putting a sheet together. Hopefully before the slots fill up!

Glory Freeborn

“They tell stories you know, stories of so called equal rights, of freedom, of hope, but that’s all they are you know, stories. But maybe, just maybe, they won’t be just stories forever.”

Glory Freeborn

Name

Glory Freeborn

Age

Glory is 17.

Race

Glory is a Gecko Faunus.

Nationality

Glory technically comes from Atlas, but was born outside the kingdoms, and has lived in Mistral all his life.

Physical Description

At 6 feet 7 inches. Glory is taller than you might expect from a Gecko Faunus. He is extremely lithe rather than thin. His muscles are corded rather than bulky. His fingers and limbs seem longer than they should be. Glory gives the impression of being stretched out. His Faunus trait is his violet gecko eyes. As a result, he doesn’t blink often, but he does use eye drop frequently. He had black hair that he cuts himself whenever pieces get long enough to annoy him. He has pale skin that burns easily. He tends to always be cold, so he tends to wear long sleeves and hoodies at practically all times. He also wears a beanie and fingerless gloves. He wears skinny jeans and steel toes boots. The heels on the boots slide of easily and he does not wear socks. This outfit is completely black as Glory doesn’t realize black washes him out. His bootlaces are the same color violet as his eyes, and the silver buckle on his belt is engraved with a key symbol. He wears his belt, so the buckle is over his left hip. He has a silver stud in his left earlobe and a small silver hoop in his upper right ear. He also has a loop in his left eyebrow and a stud on the right side of his nose. Glory is not aware that this outfit basically makes him look like an “edgy bad boy.”

Characterization

Glory is quiet, serious, and dedicated. He also smiles frequently and laughs loudly. He tends to have a seemingly optimistic view of life, believe that hard work is the best way to accomplish something. He is aware of the racial disparity between humans and Faunus and takes such things seriously. He just doesn’t believe that violence is the answer. He is dedicated to both his academic studies and his martial training. Glory is dyslexic, but he has not been diagnosed. As such he gets frustrated with himself when reading becomes difficult and can be caught muttering about how stupid he is. In reality, he is smart and given enough time can reason out just about any problem. On the battlefield he tends to leap first and think later. He tends to duck and weave while striking in precise locations. As such he tends to be best with groups of enemies and has an unnerving ability to use them against each other. One on one is not his strong suit. Glory chooses to be optimistic. He is about yea close to a mental breakdown.

Backstory

There ae two women in Glory’s life. Goldie Harkness, the woman he knows as Mom, and Electrum, a woman he never met and his biological mother. Electrum, who was a Faunus, was an “employee” i.e.. slave, of an illegal human trafficking ring just outside of Mantle and Atlas. Human Goldie was hired to be a security guard for what she thought was a legitimate business. Glory never could get the full story from Goldie but at one point the two women became friends. (Glory always suspected they were closer than that, possibly even lovers or would be lovers, but Goldie was never clear on that.) When Electrum discovered she was pregnant the two women took some terrible risks to save the unborn child. They started to walk towards Mistral. There were complications and Electrum died giving birth to a boy. Goldie named the child for the currently blooming morning glories and the fact that he was free born. They made it to Mistral, where Goldie did some questionable things for new identities for both of them. Then she found work as a bouncer for a bar. Despite the raised eyes of a single woman raising a Faunus child that was clearly not related to her Goldie did her best to shape Glory into a decent man. She truly does love him and encouraged his desire to become a Huntsman in order to fight for justice. Glory knows he was lucky to be born to two parents who loved him and wants to fight to protect those not so lucky. He applied for Haven to further is goals in these regards. He has no interest in joining the White Fang, feeling like all they do is confirm every bad Faunus stereotype out there, but he can sympathize with their frustrations as growing up on a bouncer’s salary was never easy. Though he and Goldie sometimes lack material wealth they had more than enough love and in the end all Glory wants to do is share that love. If he gets to beat up Grimm and criminals at the same time even better.

Semblance

Glory’s Semblance is Adhesion. In short, he can use his hands and feet to climb just about any sort of surface. This is why his boots have removeable soles. He can also use this ability to hang off of things such as ceilings or the outside of airships or trains. He can also use it to hold on to something he doesn’t want to let go of. He can only stick for as long as he as Aura. If his Aura breaks or he runs our he is forced to unstick.

Weapon & Fighting Style

Glory’s weapon is called Morning’s Rising and is a sword that spirals out into a shield. The blade and shield radius are about 18 inches. The guard is two inches across and is used to lock the shield in place to keep it from collapsing until Glory twists the hilt just right. The hilt is long enough that Glory can use it as a two handed weapon, but Morning’s Rising is more like a fencing foil or rapier. Since Glory doesn’t have a long range weapon he needs to get close to his enemy. He tends to be impulsively and will jump straight into a group of enemies. However, once he gets himself into these messes, he has a strange ability to use the crowd against itself while avoiding being hit. He believes in using precise strikes instead of brute force. If he is not taking down crowds, he rather be between the opponent and a person who needs to be defended. He will use his Adhesion to lock his feet to the ground and Morning’s Rising’s shield form to block blow after blow while he tries to come up with a way to get the noncombatant out of the fight. Goldie trained him in sword fighting and hand to hand and while he’s better with a sword, he is confident in his unarmed combat.

Intangibles

Glory is always cold, like always cold. Getting him a blanket or another sweater/hoodie is a great present for any present giving event. If he had a choice Glory would be nocturnal as bright lights hurt his eyes and head. He tends to heal from injuries quicker than one might think. He dislikes sweets except for his mom’s homemade white chocolate fudge, but even that only in small amounts. It is next to impossible for him to get up in the morning and has a million alarms to help with that. He has a hard time falling asleep. His favorite adamic class is mathematics even though he isn’t a mathematical genius. He dislikes any class with a lot of reading but does his best not to let that show. He has been known to quietly read out loud to try and help with his struggles reading. He has a fondness for small, fluffy animals, and it takes all his self-control not to adopt every one he had every meet.

Let me know what you think. I accept constitutive criticism. I may not be able to work on him more today. But I do look forward to your thoughts on him!

Name

Glory Freeborn

Age

Glory is 17.

Race

Glory is a Gecko Faunus.

Nationality

Glory technically comes from Atlas, but was born outside the kingdoms, and has lived in Mistral all his life.

Physical Description

At 6 feet 7 inches. Glory is taller than you might expect from a Gecko Faunus. He is extremely lithe rather than thin. His muscles are corded rather than bulky. His fingers and limbs seem longer than they should be. Glory gives the impression of being stretched out. His Faunus trait is his violet gecko eyes. As a result, he doesn’t blink often, but he does use eye drops frequently. He had black hair that he cuts himself whenever pieces get long enough to annoy him. The result is a mess of mismatched hair lengths. He has pale skin that burns easily and then he starts to peel.

He tends to always be cold, so he prefers to wear long sleeves and hoodies at practically all times. He also wears a beanie and fingerless gloves. He wears skinny jeans and steel toes boots. The heels on the boots slide off easily and he does not wear socks. He also has an extra-long scarf wrapped several times around his neck. This outfit is completely black as Glory doesn’t realize black washes him out. His bootlaces and scarf are the same color violet as his eyes, and the silver buckle on his belt is engraved with a key symbol. He wears his belt so the buckle is over his left hip. He has a silver stud in his left earlobe and a small silver hoop in his upper right ear. He also has a loop in his left eyebrow and a stud on the right side of his nose. Glory is not aware that this outfit basically makes him look like an “edgy bad boy.” He does own a pair of large dark sunglasses that he can use to hide his eyes should he wish to, but he mainly uses them to block the light rather than pretend not to be human.

Characterization

Despite his apparent appearance Glory is optimistic and cheerful about 95 percent of the time. He is almost always smiling and has plenty of good will and love to share with those around him. He is constantly willing to be a listening ear and does his best to not give unwanted advice or to share another person’s secrets. However, he is not as quick to share his own troubles and stresses with others and hides any and all worries behind his cheerful demeanor. His manner is not just a façade, he genuinely a happy person, but he does choose to emphasis these traits because those are ones he believes are worth having. He is a firm believer that worrying or being pessimistic are a waste of time and will chide himself if he catches himself feeling any of the “negative emotions.”

When it comes to work or academics, Glory believes that hard work is key. He believes that dedications always pays off. He does have undiagnosed dyslexia and becomes frustrated when that interferes with his studies. He has been heard to mutter under his breath about how stupid he is. In reality, his is fairly smart, and given enough time can reason just about any problem. He is attentive in class, but rarely voices questions for fear of appearing dumb or unintelligent. He does his best to balance his martial training and classroom studies. He is confident in his physical skills. It is the academics where his worries manifest. When he volunteers his services to help out (i.e. with moving or house repairs), he will help to the best of his abilities and stay until the job is done. Despite never having a job, he would have a similar attitude in the workplace.

Socially, Glory is well aware of the disparity between humans and Faunus. He does pay attention to the political and social news regrading Faunus rights. Glory has gone to protests in the past and plans to go to protests in the future. He does his best to remain peaceful at these protests, but he will defend people if necessary. The White Fang’s recent actions worry him. He thinks that all their violence has done is prove the worst Faunus stereotypes. One of his reasons for becoming a Huntsman is in order to prove that a Faunus can be selfless and willing to put their life on the line for country, city, and citizens. Other reasons included adventure, travel, and fighting for a living. His personal goals include a better life for his mom and a good life for his future family. He had no idea what that future family looks like yet.

The constant cheerfulness and Glory’s frustration with his learning difficulties is starting to take its toll. He is about yea close to a mental breakdown.

Backstory

There are two important women in Glory’s life. The first is Electrum and Goldie. Goldie is the woman that Glory knows as Mom. Electrum is his birth mother that Glory knows only from stories. Though those stories are sparse. From the little information Glory was able to get from Goldie, Electrum was an “employee” of a brothel in the hidden in the slums of Mantel and visited by the wealthy of Atlas. This place was an “open secret” and had been Electrum’s home since her birth. Goldie was a person near the bottom of high society’s totem pole. She went to this place, found Electrum. Goldie always said they were friends, but Glory always suspected that they were something more. Yet, Glory never pushed. Goldie always seemed forlorn and faraway when she talked about her.

Perhaps the reason why was because when Electrum discovered she was expecting she went to Goldie for help. The two managed to run from the brothel, Mantle, and even Atlas, together. They ran too late. Electrum died seeing one last dawn and morning glories for the last time. The boy was born healthy and hale. Keeping the newly named Glory alive was enough to keep Goldie going. She managed to get them both to Mistral and used the last of the Lien she had taken from her home to buy them new identities. She took the name Goldie Argent and Glory was given a name that told everyone what he was, Freeborn.

It was not an easy life for a single human woman to raise a Faunus child that was unrelated to her, but Goldie made it work. She wasn’t the best Huntress, but she had been Huntress trained. She used that training to work as a bouncer at several Mistral bars. That didn’t pay much, and Goldie found herself living beneath the style she was used to. Not a word of complaint left her mouth. He was more concerned with raising Glory. It wasn’t long before he was no longer the Faunus wasn’t just Electrum’s child. Glory was her kid, her child, her boy. Goldie had lived a cold life. Her boy would not sure the same fate.

The result was that while Glory never had the newest toy or Scroll he had more than enough love and a Mom that always took his side no matter what even if she wouldn’t let him get away with being wrong. Mistakes were discussed. Triumphs were celebrated. Limits were designed simply to keep life orderly and to keep Glory safe. He spent his days running about Mistral and getting into troubles. His Mom knew his troubles first. He had her unconditional support. When he decided her wanted to be a Huntsman Goldie was Glory’s first martial teacher. When he faltered in that choice in order to get a part time job to help pay bills Goldie said know. It’s Glory and Goldie against the world.

Glory’s family history isn’t the happiest, but his personal story was beautiful, there was limit of financial wealth, but Glory always knew he was loved. He will take that love and let it carry him on as he flies to the future.

Semblance

Glory’s Semblance is Adhesion. In short, he can use his hands and feet to climb just about any sort of surface. This is why his boots have removeable soles and his gloves are fingerless. He can also use this ability to hang off of things such as ceilings or the outside of airships or trains. He can also use it to hold on to something he doesn’t want to let go of. He can only stick for as long as he as Aura. If his Aura breaks or he runs our he is forced to unstick. Right now, his Adhesion is only his hands and feet, but Glory is hoping that as he practices Aura Control, he will be able to use Adhesion with his entire skin area. Right now he can use it to carry himself plus what he can comfortable carry up things. As such weight training is also part of his training.

Weapon & Fighting Style

Glory’s weapon, Morning’s Rising., has two forms. The first is a is a sword that is about 18 inches long. The hilt is long enough that it can be used as two-handed weapon, but the blade is light enough that it can be used as a one handled weapon. It’s closer to a rapier or fencing foil than another type of sword. The hilt twists to case the blade to spiral out into a round shield and the guard locks the segments into the place. The radius of the shield is 18 inches. The hilt doubles as the handle rather than a traditional double strap. When Morning’s Rising is in shield form there is a pattern of twisting morning glories and vines done in an electrum and gold colored metals.

Due to Morning’s Rising duel form Glory had developed two districting fighting styles. The first is an offensive style. Glory does not think before rushing into battle. However, once he is in battle, he prefers precise strikes to brute strength even as he puts his full power into each blow. He is best against groups where he is surprisingly skillful at turning them against each other. He tends to dart between people before making his limited strikes. While in his offense mode, he does have a habit of using Adhesion to grab his enemies’ weapons to force them to let go.

His second style is a defensive style. Glory will get between the enemy and someone or some ones that needs defending and then stay there. He will use his Semblance to stick his feet to the ground and keep his shield in his hand. Then he will take blow after blow until that one moment when he can push out and send the enemy away. Then with Adhesion he will grab on to the person he is defensing and get them out of the fight. It is not the best method and Glory will admit that. He practices this in order to improve it. He wants to focus on rescuing civilians, so this is his prefer technique. He is hoping to prefect it during school.

Glory is also decent at hand to hand combat and multiple sword fighting techniques. He had training with Dust projectiles, but because Morning’s Rising doesn’t have a ranged form, he’s not that good at it. He can hit the target but he can’t consistently hit the center. He is talented at parkour and free running both with and without his Semblance. He crafted his weapon and takes care of it himself. He is fairly possessive of it. He makes a point to discuss his strengths and weakness with any potential allies. He is well aware that the point of a team is so they can cover each’s weakness with their strengths, but he doesn’t have much practice doing that.

Intangibles

Glory’s Mom likes to joke that he is cold blooded. He is always complaining that he is cold. As such, getting him a hoodie, blanket, or a warm scarf for any type of present giving occasion is a fabulous idea. He has a collection of blankets that are gifts from his Mom, and they all made their way to school with him. As an aside he owns more blankets than clothes. He wears flannel pajamas even in summer. He studies under a mountain of blankets. Glory does not hide from his temperature issues and when people tease him about it he good naturally joins in the joke.

What he doesn’t find funny is his aversion to light. Light, especially bright commercial light, gives him a headache like he wouldn’t believe. He has been accused of using his wraparound sunglasses to hide his Gecko eyes and pretend to be human. That is not the case at all. The glasses are to limit the amount of light he has to deal with. He doesn’t hesitate to prop his glasses on his head or stick them in his pocket. If he had a choice, he would be nocturnal just to avoid the bright lights of the day. Another reason for being nocturnal would be the fact that in the morning it takes half a dozen alarms to get Glory up. On the flip side he has problems falling asleep.

Glory is not found of sweets or desserts. The lone exception is his Mom’s homemade chocolate fudge. He’s not a vegetarian, but he still prefers fruits and vegetables. He’s especially fond of watermelon or other melons and cucumbers. He chooses caffeinated tea over coffee and constantly has a thermos of it. He does not add sugar or milk to it. He likes action movies and well written children films. He does not read for fun, but he does like listening to stories. His favorite color is dusky pink. Glory has started experimenting with eyeliner. He has a fondness for small, fluffy animals, and it takes all his self-control not to adopt every one he has every meet.

His favorite adamic class is mathematics even though he isn’t a mathematical genius. He dislikes any class with a lot of reading but does his best not to let that show. He has been known to quietly read out loud to try and help with his struggles reading. This is only partially effective, and he becomes self-conscious if this is pointed out. Glory tends to study alone in order to avoid showing people his challenges. He still takes it seriously. Once a teacher let him record the class lessons and that was easily the easiest class for him to study for and pass. He doesn’t expect that and doesn’t ask for it.

Glory had yet to have a serious romantic relationship. The girl in class is kind of cute and so is the boy that runs the register in the evening at the grocery store. The non he sees with their nose in a book is really cute. Kissing them or even holding their hand has not even crossed Glory’s mind. It’s more like a random observation than anything else. He wants a family someday but hasn’t even thought about what that family might one day look like. It has not occurred to him that before he can have a family he needs to, maybe, possibly date someone or at least look for a decent co-parent.

Dune on fighting the Grimm

Dune Hatchet

Name

Dune Hatchet

Age

18

Race

Faunus (Grey Wolf)

Nationality

Mistrali

Physical Description

Dune isn't a particularly outstanding individual, at least among the Faunus. She possesses a head of partially-unkempt, dim gray hair which she is content to leave where it lies, not bothering to style it in any particular fashion. This dark silvery hair contrasts the fairness of her skin and highlights the light golden hue of her eyes, which seem especially watchful. These features combined with the mature mien she expresses can make her seem as though she leans toward the more sober
side - which isn't wrong.

When it comes to physique, Dune also isn't unusual in any outstanding regard, aside from her androgynous appearance, if one were to count that. She boasts some muscle definition from training, but she isn't strapped. She does, however, possess a more unique physical feature in a slim, thick-furred canid tail with the same coloration as her hair, though with a darker gray tip.

She prefers to keep a wardrobe of mostly darker colors, and prefers comfort and/or function over fashion - though she does regularly wear a clean, black Bolero hat which once belonged to her mother.

Characterization

Sedate is likely the most apt way to describe Dune in one word. Her sober mood is the forwardmost detail of her personality, most who've met her would say. Though that's not to say she's a killjoy - she is open to venturesome activities, but her hesitance to get close to others makes her a tad bit awkward when it comes to pursuing such things.

Her stolidity of sorts is, however, a steadfast effigy for others to rely on in intense situations. Dune is seemingly very strong-willed - even if she takes no opportunity to show it day to day, she has stalwart nerves. Were she more communicative, this resolute nature would make her a very good leader - though as is, her teamwork skills are lacking.

Backstory

Dune's upbringing was a bit of an unusual one.

She was born the only child to two wealthy Mistrali. Arylide and Fallow Hatchet were wed shareholders of a respectable stock in the Mistral Mining Company, and were active members in one of the leading institutions of Grimm field-study. Due to the latter of these facts, they duo took it upon themselves to reside amongst one of the small villages situated in the lands west of Mistral. They bolstered the village against the Grimm with their wealth, allowing them to live there more comfortably than one may expect.

It was only a year or so that they'd live in the village before Fallow discovered her enceintity. There was a short period of worry for them about raising their child in such a dangerous area when all of Mistral was available to them, but ultimately they decided it was safe enough. Which was true enough - mostly. Although the village was well defended for quite a time, it was in Dune's pre-teen years that their confidence proved to be in vain. The village was sieged by a group of Grimm that managed to catch a gap in its defenses, wreaking absolutely destruction on the people. It was a horror of an attack for the village goers, but for Dune the destruction around her was almost in slow motion - for one of the first attacks of the Grimm decimated her home and trapped the whole family inside. It was in desperation that Dune tried to free her parents from the flaming ruin of the house, trying to persevere against the heat and blaze of the destruction. Her efforts were in vain though and she was eventually rescued herself from the inferno by her emerging semblance, though not without physical and emotional scars of her own - for the flames scarred her body and the sudden loss of her parents scarred her mind.

It took her quite a time to recover from the physical trauma - her body eventually returning to "normal" through the use of grafts, and a robotic prosthetic for her right arm - but the mental trauma shaped her personality to the current day. After that day she was less responsive - and certainly less outgoing. It even took her a time to begin talking to her grandmother, who she began to live with in Mistral. Even though she became a solemn and distant girl - she still had aspirations. One of which was to destroy the Grimm to achieve a form of justice for her family. It wouldn't bring them back, nothing would - but she didn't know how else to cope. And so from a young age, she pled a fealty to the destruction of the Grimm. Her grandmother was concerned, but couldn't stop the girl from getting what she wanted, and Dune eventually reached the point where she could finally take the initiation exam.

Semblance

Scatter
Dune's semblance is one that, although not well-exercised, is still very useful for escaping problematic scenarios and enabling more devastating attacks. Scatter allows Dune to warp anything her aura runs through in a special manner, rupturing it into billions of tiny, bright particles for a very brief period before reforming it. Her articulation of her Semblance isn't very progressed, so she has only managed to utilize it when directing it at herself and materials on her person. She has, however, learned how to move the particles since she's started trying to train it. Scatter becomes more and more taxing with successive activations.

Weapon & Fighting Style

Dune's weapon^* has yet to be named, but is nonetheless a formidable tool. Upon donning the thick yet lightweight gauntlet, the set of dormant coils wrapped around it come to life as Dune's Aura surges through them, causing them to swell into two long and flexible, yet exceptionally durable, tendrils. The tendrils appear to be very much completely prehensile and can extend quite a distance, allowing them serviceable reach with the slim blades that grace each tip. The gauntlet is capable of taking in dust crystals - usually gravity dust, to allow the tendrils to contend with the strength of the Grimm - which it can also expel in a close-range, medium-strength blast through a disc situated on the palm.

Dune uses the physical strength and agility of her tendril weapon to outmaneuver and sometimes match the strength of the Grimm. Their reach and general girth of utility make them a particularly useful weapon offensively and defensively, however they are rather risky compared to true ranged weapons, as she still has to get somewhat close - only being able to outrange the Grimm by a small margin, in most cases.

Intangibles

Dune is both fortunate and not in the sense that her past has both strengthened and weakened her. After the incident when she was younger, her left eye was replaced by a robotic prosthetic eye, and her right arm in a similar manner - giving her a tokenbag of advantages over her colleagues. However, she is clearly not a team player, yet - and she is reluctant to retreat even if those around her are unwilling to help her against slim odds. This is not to say she isn't a capable strategist - she is fairly quick-witted in a battle, but taking others into account isn't hardwired into her brain.

-Bren Adalwolf

Bren Adalwolf

Full Name:

Bren Adalwolf

Age:

17

Gender:

Male

Race:

Human

Nationality:

Atlesian

Appearance Description:

Bren is tall and well built which makes him look slightly older than he is. This along with his fiery red hair and bright blue eyes makes him difficult to miss, even when standing in the midst of a crowd. He walks with a great deal of grace and confidence, as his parents taught him, that makes it clear he is comfortable in any situation (even if he isn't). He does try to make sure he is presentable in every sense of the word, despite this his hair is always a slight mess, though not for lack of trying.

Clothing wise he is always dressed nicely, unless he is relaxing by himself, even if the situation doesn't necessarily call for it. While nice he does also make sure to keep practicality as the most important aspect of what he wears whether that be a convenient holster for his weapon or combat boots. No matter what he's wearing there is always a jacket or long coat over the top of it, though this is mostly out of habit from growing up in a colder climate. He mostly prefers lighter, monochromatic shades with a few splashes of color, very similar to his weapon.

Characterization

Confident and approachable, Bren is an easy person to get along with provided you don't get on his bad side. If that's the case he tends to be harsh and snappish, but thankfully it takes a lot to get to that point. He is hard working at anything and everything, but mainly things that grab his interest completely. He can be somewhat easily distracted so if it doesn't work out every part of his brain and body he's more than likely to lose interest pretty quickly. However, if someone gets him talking about a topic he has a great deal of interest in it's difficult to get him to stop.

He's strongly of the opinion that no one should be judged by who they are or where they're from, but rather the quality of their character. He'll take the time to get to know someone before really deciding if he wants to be their friend or not. Some people see this as putting in too much effort on things that mean very little, but Bren is of the mind that the types of people you spend time with reflect the type of person you are. Being an only child allowed him to really appreciate the company of other people his age, but it also had the side effect of making him somewhat unsure of how to interact with them. He's able to easily cover up his nerves for the most part unless someone catches him off guard.

It does take some work to get him to care deeply about someone or something, not to say that he's against closeness by any means, but he wants to make sure it's worth his time. Like many of the other students at Haven, training to become an amazing huntsman is something he throws himself into 100% and if someone seems like they're giving less than that he's not so inclined to put in the effort of knowing them. If he is putting the work to better himself, and those on his team, he expects others to do the same. This does make him appear disinterested at points, but that couldn't be farther from the truth.

Once he gets to know someone well he loosens up quite a bit. He's much more willing to make jokes and hang around just because he enjoys the company of his friends. If he truly cares about someone he is strongly protective of them.

Backstory:

Bren was born in Atlas and is the only child of Emil and Isolde Adalwolf. His father works for one of the many technological companies in the city of Atlas and is a brilliant mind that is focused on the betterment of society for the people there, and he is stringently against the sorts of unethical practices that some of the other companies dabble in. His mother on the other hand is not the high society wife that one might expect of a wealthy businessman, but rather an accomplished huntress in her own right. She attended Atlas Academy and had little trouble holding her own.

His father was elated when they had a son and he immediately wanted Bren to follow in his footsteps and learn the intricacies of science and technology for the betterment of Remnant, but Bren was much more interested in what his mother did. She would return from hunts all through his early childhood with fascinating stories of the battles she participated in sparking his love of mythology and stories. Not to say he didn't heed his father and learn some of what Emil did for a living, but he could never quite grasp the depth of mechs coding. Rather he asked his mother to teach him combat moves from an early age, and he found that was where his passion was.

Once he got old enough he begged his parents to allow him to attend a combat school and, while his father was hesitant, his mother was all for it. Given prior experience with his family he was able to make a name for himself at the school, despite the highly competitive nature of it, and thoroughly enjoyed the time he spent learning and practicing both at school and at home.

When he turned 17 his mother expected him to apply to the Atlas Academy, and he knew he would've been able to get in with little trouble, but Atlas always felt so closed off and insular to him. Living there had it's perks, but he wanted to know how other parts of the world differed from the one he grew up in. With his parents permission, though it was a bit of a fight to get, he was permitted to attend Haven Academy where he hopes to learn what he didn't in Atlas.

Semblance: Void's Spirit

Allows for the summoning of three shadowy, lupine spirits that can be directed as allies in battle to attack and defend. Bren can choose to summon the spirits individually as the strength of them goes down with each additional one that is brought onto the battlefield. The spirits are free to act within the orders that Bren gives them whether that be to attack the nearest enemy or guard an ally or location, but they must remain within a certain distance of him or else they vanish. Each spirit has it's own personality that can make them a hassle to control when all three are summoned at once, but careful focus and training can make it manageable.

Bren loves each of the spirits, even the more abrasive of the three, and frequently has at least one summoned by his side as a point of support in unfamiliar locations. He has an incredibly careful grasp on the intricacies of his semblance, especially when there is only one present, and would never allow for the spirits to run amok in any way.

Weapon and Fighting Style:

Guardian

Bren's weapon, Guardian, is a fairly simple weapon compared to some of the others that he has seen from hunters and other students. A dual action sword and rifle that can fold to be very easily carried in a holster at his side. He can infuse the blade and rifle shots with various kinds of dust if he needs more of an elemental kick.

Due to his weapon his fighting style is a mix of ranged and melee combat depending on the situation. He can shoot from a far distance with the rifle to keep things at a distance, but if push comes to shove he is perfectly capable of fighting in close quarters. He heavily relies on his semblance in the event that he is overwhelmed by a larger number of enemies around him. He knows how to work in tandem with his spirits and they allow him to utilize his observant nature to pick out weak points and hit hard and fast with either his blade or rifle.

Intangibles:

Bren is a highly capable combatant, particularly when working in a team given his semblance. He's not the best strategist overall, but his strength in that regard lies in being able to pick out an enemy weak point quickly. Having spent all of his life in Atlas he does have a tendency to act haughty without intending to. While he works well in a team with his spirits it may prove more difficult for him to work with other hunters and huntresses who don't do exactly as he says.

For reference the allusion used for him was Cerberus given his semblance. Let me know if anything needs changing

What's the color/fairytale significance of the name there? It's still early for me so my brain ain't on.

@TGM
Bren means fire in German, relation to the color there. Last name is reference to Cerberus—more myth less fairytale-means noble wolf

How many players/characters are you looking for?

Points for effort and being clever as hell.

How many players/characters are you looking for?

@LadyAnnaLee

Oh, you know, an amount.

@LadyAnnaLee

Eight people, including the GM. So, seven people.

I mean two squads. There are four huntresses/huntsmen to a squad in RWBY typically. If I go any more than that I won't be able to tell a cohesive story. Of course this requires seven sheets showing up that I like. Haven't decided on a deadline yet and I'm kind of giving anyone who declared interest time to finish up a sheet for the most part.
