Species
Human

APPEARANCE

In His Calm State

Height
6'2"

Weight
211 lbs

Clothing Style
When not having to be in Beacon's uniform, Rood ordinarily adorns himself in ornate gold armor up to the waist with a royally bold red cape sashed at his waist which billows when he walks. He wears expensive heavy golden earrings and a red stone necklace at all times regardless if he is in uniform or not. His body is decorated with intricate red paint as a symbol of his status.

Hair Color
Blonde

Eye Color
Red

COMBAT

Weapons
Eye of Ma'at
His arm is covered in chains with a speared tip at the end, making lashing out with this long range weapon a very deadly experience. The speared tip can 'flower' out into a mini revolving end which Rood can fire off AS he whips this weapon around with the help of his semblance

Mehet-Weret
A classic lance with decorative and intricate craftsmanship. Best when paired with Rood's semblance. Though it has the option to use Dust, a situation where that would be necessary hasn't been crossed. Or has it?

Semblance
Friction Manipulation
Rood is able to run on air (but NOT fly), walk on water, deflect oncoming attacks, increase or decrease and object's velocity, and change his own inertia. He is also able to generate heat, but not flames by concentrating all on the friction in regards to his body's/an object's placement. Without a gun, he is able to fire off bullets at will by concentrating his friction, hence the placement of the 'gun' at the end of his whip. See 'Other' for limitations.

Dust
Rood is extensively knowledgeable about Dust but for some reason doesn't carry any on him.

Background
For now, Rood's personal history will be shrouded in mystery. What can be shared is common knowledge to all students attending Beacon Academy. The Rah name belonged to a very prestigious family who once ruled the Kingdom of Mistral. The family line, however, fell due to unforeseen circumstances; enemies of past generations ambushed members of the family and cut them down. Desperate to hold the prestige of the family line, the few Rah's remaining married into Atlas' own royals the Schnee's. The two familie's connected only by forced marriages ruled in their separate kingdoms once order was restored, and the purity of the Rah line was forever broken. From there, two generations down, Rood was born a von Rah. This will be the first time in his life he has ever been exposed to working with others his own age.

Character Theme
Though he encompasses the summation of egyptian culture and religion as a whole, Rood is best described as a genderbent Neith, the Egyptian Goddess of War who wields a masculine bow and arrow. Traded instead for his main weapon is the feminine whip and his red necklace in place of her red crown. Neith is known for her love of weaving, which I wanted to really translate to Rood; which I did in the form of him enjoying sewing and making things out of it for others.
'Rood' is Dutch for red, and 'von' is a common German name add-on, which is frequent pattern seen in the Schnee name. Rah, of course is in reference to Ra, the egyptian God of the sun.

Other: Jaune is the best

About Friction - Rood's Semblance is vast in its potential, this is true. Or it would be if he could do more than one of any of those things at one time. Every use of his semblance takes all of his concentration, and it doesn't take long until all that usage takes a toll. Thanks to the nature of the semblance, Rood is at constant risk for overheating or in the worst case scenario spontaneously combusting, making his ability a dangerous one to wield for not only other, but for himself.

Saffron

Name: Saffron Icara Lumenaire
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Species: Human

APPEARANCE

Ignore the speaker bag and headphones.

Height: 5'6
Weight: 115 lbs

Clothing Style: Saffron enjoys a casual state of dress with typically bright colours. When in her beacon uniform she wears the blazer and vest open, eschewing the girl's ribbon in favor of the boy's tie. She also wears a pair of bike shorts under her skirt. She also wears a set of aviator goggles on her head at all times, pulling them down over her eyes when she flies. On the back of jacket of her combat outfit is the Lumenaire Family Crest, coloured yellow.

Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Blue

COMBAT

Weapon

Wax Wings: Despite the name, Saffron's wings are not made of wax but of a Dust tempered alloy that makes them hard as steel but light as feathers. Each "feather" is in fact a razor sharp blade and in the center, between the wings, is a small booster that is fuelled by Dust. With these wings, Icara is capable of high speed flight, the razor feathers make them deadly weapons in close combat, and their sturdiness make for an effective defence. When not in use the wings fold back and retract into a compact metal backpack.

Semblance

Solar Flare: Saffron is constantly absorbing and storing solar energy in her body and she is able to focus that energy into a destructive beam that she fires from the palm of her hand. This ability is naturally stronger when she is in direct sunlight.

Dust: Saffron uses as combination of Fire and Wind Dust to power Wax Wings.

Skills:

• Agility
• Quick Witted
• Skilled with her Weapon
• Mobility

PERSONALIZED

Personality:

• Sunny
• Friendly
• Outgoing
• Energetic
• Good Humoured

Skills: Saffron has no fear of heights, infact she craves them. She's also a bit of a gear head with a good understanding of general mechanics and a particular comprehension of aeronautical engineering

Background: Saffron Lumenaire's great grandfather made his name as the father of modern air travel, designing the first modern airships, which are still in use today. Lumen Air Industries, based in Mistral, has devoted their time, since it was founded, to developing newer, faster and more streamlined kinds of personal air travel, for both the civil and military sectors. As the second daughter of the current president of Lumen Air Industries, Saffron lived in her older sister's shadow. The company would ultimately fall to her older sister, so all the time and attention went to her. Saffron's sister was the star child, while Saffron's own potential, which she believed to be greater than her sister's, went more or less ignored.

She didn't want to live in her sister's shadow any more and wanted to be more than just another Lumenaire, so she set out to make a name for herself as a Huntress. Saffron joined Sanctum Academy and, at the tender age of thirteen, perfected the design of her own weapon, a personal flight pack that she had actually been secretly working on since she was old enough to hold a wrench. She did well at Sanctum and, after graduating, was applied to Beacon in Vale, mostly to put some distance between her and her family, and was accepted.

Character Theme: Loosely inspired by the tale of Icarus, from Greek Mythology. Saffron's Wings and her Pride in her talents are taken from the Icarus Myth, as is her association with the Sun, which became the basis for her Semblance.

Other: Jaune is the best.

[Half Pint]

Name: Platinum 'Plat' Kray

Age: 17

Gender: Female

APPEARANCE

Height: 5 foot 7

Weight: 140 pounds

Clothing Style: Plat can often be seen wearing dark, practical clothing. Practical in the sense that it's not baggy, but that's all it really is in terms of practicality. She almost always wears her brother's old jacket, which has had the sleeves taken up to fit her better.

Hair Color: Silver

Eye Color: Blue

COMBAT

Weapon:
Plat carries a pair of gun gauntlets. The gauntlets have extendable claws which, in turn, double as gun barrels. The gun is akin to that of an assault rifle, firing in short controlled bursts in most cases, with spray only being used in dire situations.

Semblance:
Plat is able to manipulate metals and alloys at will. Her manipulation mostly takes the shape of long threads of metal wire. These strands of wire can be used for multiple situations, such as using them as a grappling hook, using them to whip or trap an enemy or even to protect herself by creating a small shield of the wire. However, she can also just use whatever metal object she chooses for other purposes, for example using a door as a shield, although the bigger an object is the more energy it takes.

Dust: Plat does not use dust.

Skills:

• Athletic - Skilled in parkour
• Skilled boxer, which helps with the use of her gauntlets

PERSONALIZED

Personality:

• Loyal
• Compassionate
• Cocky
• Easily Angered
• Arrogant

Skills:

• Plays the drums
• Rather good at Remnant: The Board Game

Background:
Plat was born and bred in Vale. Her father, a lumberjack, owned a wealthy paper making and tree cutting company that supplied much of the tree based items to all of the kingdoms. As a result, the family were rather wealthy, but being the traditional man he was, Plat' father had the family living most of the time in log cabins rather than high class estates.

Plat's father had always intended for his two children to go into the lumber trade in one way or another. Someone needed to take over the business after he was gone, and it sure as hell wasn't going to be his shareholders. Unfortunately for him they were both a bit more adventurous than he had anticipated. Plat' brother, Jesse, had become a hunter around the time that Plat turned 9, and this inspired her to follow in his foot steps.

It was also at this point that a character changing event happened in her life. Because of her vaguely cushy upbringing, she grew up with an almost innate sense of arrogance. This led to her becoming somewhat of a bully in her school, something which she never realised until she saw the effects of her actions. She changed almost immediately, growing into a more compassionate person albeit still keeping her arrogance.

He became vaguely well known in the Hunter world for his skills in sword play and his keen eye for danger. He was far too modest to do anything with this fame though and as a result he only became known in certain circles throughout Vale and beyond, but to Plat he was as big a celebrity as any. She idolized him, thinking he was the coolest thing since the invention of Hunters.

Throughout the years she grew up with the dream of becoming a hunter based on this idolization of her brother. Things changed a little around the time that she was 14 though. This was at the point in which her brother died, killed by Grimm in an accident no one could have expected. Not much was released to the public or Plat' family about the death, but a close friend of her brother revealed all there was to know to the family. He was blinded the day previous, and on the way back was attacked by Grimm. He was killed mercilessly, and the friend suspected foul play was at hand. All that was left was the jacket he always wore, which Plat took as her own in remembrance.

The death made Plat give up her dream for a short while. She would go days without speaking or eating, only grieving over her brother's death. Things began getting better as time went on, but it was about a year later that she went back to normal, and another half year after that before she began considering becoming a hunter once more. By the time she was 16, he was once again dedicated to becoming a hunter, with the intent of using the skills she learns as one to avenge her brother and find out the true cause of his death.

Character Theme: Bloody Mary. In the same way that Bloody Mary, or Mary Tudor suffored a great deal of loss throughout her life, Plat has done the same and the metaphorical blood on her hands is no longer red but now silver. Along with this, her father often discouraged her from being a hunter, both for his lumber business and for his fear of her death, in the same way as Mary Tudor, Plat feels somewhat wronged by this.

Sage Burnet

Name: Sage Burnet

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Species: Faunus

APPEARANCE

Main Appearance

Costume Design

Sage has a gentle and unimposing appearance and is often assumed to be non-threatening. He is not bulky, rather has sleek muscles from running long distances frequently. He carries himself with composure and emanates a kind of quiet strength. Though he has a faint smile, his eyes are very expressive and are much better are displaying emotions than any of his other features. He has stag antlers and light freckles. Though he is reserved, he can be quite fierce, and he enjoys playing with people's expectations of him. Being perceived as mild at first, and proving to be quite the opposite later, is advantageous to him in battle and in life in general.

Height: 5'11''

Weight: 160 lbs

Clothing Style: He enjoys clothing in earthy tones, like emerald green, brown and gold. He primarily wears loose fitting clothing that is easy to move in, and enjoys accessorizing with scarves. His antlers often have green vines wrapped around them. He prefers wearing sandals or no shoes at all. His combat uniform is emerald, brown and gold with brown leather armor, boots and archery gloves.

Hair Color: Brown

Eye Color: Green

COMBAT

Weapon: His primary weapon is a large compound bow and arrows. His bow is called Bogha-Saighde. It is beautifully crafted with gold elements that look like vines and leaves.

Bogha-Saighde

He has multiple arrow types, some of which contain dust. Though his bow isn't capable of turning into a gun, he can shoot multiple arrows at once and possesses a scatter shot arrow that behaves in a similar manner. It also has rope arrows which he can use affix to different spots to use as a zip line. Basically, anything Lara Croft can do with her bow in Rise of the Tomb Raider, Sage can do plus more. His secondary weapons are multiple gold torcs, elaborately knotted, that he wears on his wrists into battle. When taken off they fold out into blades which can be used in a pinch if he loses the opportunity for ranged combat.

Torc

Semblance: Though he is not fully experienced in using his semblance, he is able to summon thick roots from the ground which wrap around his opponent, keeping them "rooted" to the spot. This is advantageous for him because it makes them a much easier target. At full strength, he can influence the vegetation around him, by humming or singing certain melodies. This gives him strong advantages in a forest or jungle setting.

Dust: He prefers working with earth dust, though his arrows can contain a wide variety. He wears a green earth crystal around his neck for emergencies.

Skills:
1. Stealthy
2. Fast
3. Agile
4. Unpredictable
5. Sure-Shot

PERSONALIZED

Personality:
1. Intuitive
2. Daring
3. Sly
4. Compassionate
5. Imaginative

Skills:
1. An excellent gardener.
3. An avid reader.
4. Good at singing - he has musical talent but it's largely untapped.
5. Great at coin tricks.
6. Fishes on the weekends.

Background: Born on the coast of the Kingdom of Vale, Sage's family consisted of his parents and his older brother. His parents were both fisherman and lived a humble, but happy existence. However, they were often remote given their need to embark on deepwater fishing expeditions. Sage was often left alone with his brother, Forrest. On one such expedition, his parent's vessel was lost. It is thought that they perished as a result of sea monster activity. Forrest and Sage were alone, and moved to the capitol of Vale to live with their aunt and uncle. Sage, motivated by his parents' death to become a hunter, enrolled in Signal, later to attend Beacon. Though often considered an underdog in terms of being admitted to Beacon, he excelled at Signal academically and stood out for his ability to use subtly and stealth to subvert those he fought. Though Sage's brother Forrest was proud of Sage's accomplishments, it was never his personal dream to become a hunter. Forrest became withdrawn and restless and left Vale. It is unknown where he is now, but intermittent letters that he sends to Sage heavily imply that he is now a part of a militant Faunus group. Sage, used to his brother's free-spirited nature, often behaves like his absence doesn't affect him, but in truth, Sage misses his brother immensely and worries about him all the time.

Character Theme: Sage is based on Cernunnos, the mysterious horned deity of Celtic myth. He is visualized as wearing rich, draping fabric with two torcs, metal rings, hanging off of stag antlers. This is why Sage is a stag Faunus, enjoys wearing scarves and has an earthy aesthetic. Cernunnos is also pictured with Torcs, which is why Sage uses these in combat. Cernunnos' image is emblazoned on the "Pillar of the Boatmen," an ancient bas-relief, which is why Sage's family are fisherman. He is the wild god of the forest which is why Sage has Earth/gardening-related abilities. Cernunnos is also the master of the hunt which is why Sage uses a bow and arrow. Also, Cernunnos is known as the god of death and dying and is thought to have sung to guide souls to the afterlife. This attribute partly influenced Sage's semblance.

Bonny Mako

Bonny Mako

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Species: Shark Faunus

APPEARANCE

Hider

More or less like this. See below for details on where her appearance differs from the picture.

Height: 5 ft., 11 in.

Weight: 162 lbs., slightly less now that a significant chunk of her dorsal fin has been lost

Clothing style: A blue and white striped long-sleeve shirt that's torn-up, short-cut, and somewhat revealing (though not quite as revealing as pictured above) paired with a comparatively modest blue-grey skirt. The skirt reaches down to below her knees or so in the front and drags behind her in the back, giving the illusion of a shark tail when blown by the wind or dragged behind her in the water. The fin-shaped pockets at her hips are actually fanny packs, in which to store loot. She wears a dark grey bandana with a skull and crossbones on it and old grey leather shoes that look ratty, water-logged and worn, and her idea of "accessorizing" boils down to grabbing or stealing anything remotely shiny or expensive-looking and wearing it as tacky bling. She also has an anchor tramp stamp.

Hair color: Dirty blonde

Eye color: Reddish brown

COMBAT

Weapon:

Revenge (subtitle: The Queen Anne's)

Best described as an 18th century naval revolver cannon repurposed as a jetpack, the Revenge has six revolving chambers in which to load various types of cannonballs. Each chamber is marked by color (red for fire, blue for ice etc.) and can hold a few cannonballs each before needing to be reloaded.

While this is obviously all fine and dandy, the Revenge has a hidden functionality you wouldn't guess until you've seen it in action, because you'd swear it was invented by a mad person. By taking the mounted rig normally used to carry the cannon minigun-style and slipping it over her shoulders, Bonny points the cannon at the ground, fires, and takes off like she's wearing a jetpack, dropping bombs on her enemies from the sky. This is not actual flight but rather a sort of rocket jumping, and Bonny rises and falls in a predictable parabolic arc when using it.

Additionally, the cannon can also be used as a handy bludgeon or battering ram in close quarters combat.

Me Bottle o' Scrumpy

When Bonny repurposed her father's cannon into her own weapon, she realized the new revolver mechanism made the traditional rammer used to load cannonballs into the breach obsolete. Not wanting to get rid of such a fine piece of craftmanship, Bonny wrapped the rammer in cloth infused with fire-elememted Dust, creating a giant, reusable match. Now whenever Bonny wants to set something or someone on fire, she just strikes the rammer on the ground like a match, takes a swig of whatever's in her flask, and sprays it all over her makeshift torch, blowing fire everywhere like a carnival firespitter. She does this both because it's fun and because her cannon makes for an effective yet unwieldly melee weapon. This way, she can be quicker on the draw and avoid risking any damage to her main weapon.

Semblance:

EM Vision

Bonny's Semblance allows her to detect minute changes in electromagnetic fields with great sensitivity, much like a shark's ampullae of Lorenzini. She can sense muscle contractions in people and animals, which many people mistake for a psychic ability or having eyes in the back of her head. Due to this ability it is very difficult to hide from Bonny, and almost impossible to get the drop on her, as her Semblance allows her to "see" you move faster than normal eyes could process. It's also how she knows where to hit you from behind cover, and why she always greets people before they enter the room, something she likes to do just to freak people out.

Dust:

Dust cannonballs

Bonny uses Dust ammunition in her cannon, launching cannonballs of various elemental types through the different chambers. Using fire Dust or explosives as a powder charge, she can also fire the cannon at the ground and use it like a jetpack to rocket jump. These cannonballs can also be tossed like bombs.

The types of elemental dust Bonny uses in her cannon are Fire, Ice, and Electricity. She also uses explosive and smoke cannonballs.

Aerial bombardment
Taunting
Drawing fire away from her teammates (though usually not on purpose)

Background:

Hider

A shark Faunus, and also secretly the daughter of the now infamous Faunus pirate Woodrow "Woody" Thatcher. Born to Woody and a human mother, Bonny and her family lived happily as a shining example of mixed-race marriage. For about two years, after which Bonny's mother was killed during a supposed "White Fang suppression" effort while defending her husband and child, a campaign that saw Bonny's hometown destroyed, burned to the ground, and Bonny and her father imprisoned with other Faunus refugees in the internment camp "Menagerie". They made a serious mistake in underestimating the depth and fire of the aquatic Faunus' rage however, and Thatcher soon conspired to escape from Menagerie with his daughter and a small group of like-minded men in tow. It was this group of escapees that would come to form the founding members of Woody "Dust to Dust" Thatcher's less than jolly crew of pirates, a mercenary group that sailed the high seas for years freeing Faunus and pillaging from the rich. Stealing a boat from the docks of lush human city just outside the borders of Menagerie, Thatcher put what little he knew about maritime protocols to use, and set sail a new and freed man.

At first, during the early years, they just took on jobs for disenfranchised Faunus, only striking out at Remnant's oppressive governments when provoked... or when given the chance. It was these years that Bonny would come to remember as the golden ones, where she as a young girl truly felt as free and guiltless as the pirates her father read to her about in story books. But this wasn't Neverland, and she couldn't stay a kid forever.

As time went on, the jobs Thatcher's crew took on became increasingly violent, fueled by the bitterness and hatred of the oppressed Faunus and her father, who never truly got over the loss of his wife. Their pillaging became more frequent, targeting not just rich government officials, but any human towns they could find. Villages burned. People died. Innocent people. Her father cited the needs of an always growing crew, but Bonny knew better. She knew her father and the crew were striking back because they hated humans, because they couldn't forgive in their hearts the things they had done to them. And their violent acts of rebellion were only growing worse. Bonny watched as the illusion that had carefully protected her through childhood crumbled, and her father's crew became monsters to her.

Though she knew what they were doing was wrong, Bonny had tasted enough of human cruelty that she was still indecisive, unable to agree with her father but equally unable to invision a life for herself outside of the crew. Unable to forgive the hatred that was in her own heart, the hatred imparted to her by her father. That all changed the day her father began planning the siege.

It was the largest operation the crew had attempted to date, and it would see them returning to the coast where they had first escaped from Menagerie. The plan was simple. Create as much chaos and destruction as physically possible to draw attention and manpower away from the borders of Menagerie. Then, a small group of men from Thatcher's crew would infiltrate Menagerie and start a riot, breaching the walls and defenses of the prison with a flood of angry Faunus that would cascade into the city, creating even more damage and senseless violence. Then, once the chaos became self-sustaining, the crew would pull out, leaving the city and its human inhabitants to their fate.

The sheer horrificness of the plan, not to mention its size and scope, shocked Bonny out of any illusions she had that her father was not a criminal, and she began plotting mutiny. The night before the siege was scheduled to begin, Bonny smashed all the bottles of rum and spirits aboard the ship and set it ablaze, ripping the ship's ornate main cannon off the bow and swimming out to sea with it. If all went well, she'd make landfall in a few hours. More than enough time to warn the city before her father got the fire under control.

All did not go well.

Her father caught wind of her betrayal, and as she set off towards shore with the cannon in tow, her father shot at her in rage, puncturing a hole in her dorsal fin near the base that made it almost impossible for Bonny to swim carrying the giant cannon. However she persisted anyway, and disappeared into the night.

The damage to her fin proved greater than she'd imagined, and it left her unable to stabilize. Eventually she veered far off course, losing time and gaining miles until eventually she ended up on the shores of Atlas, half dead from starvation, exhaustion, and blood loss. She had just about torn her fin off trying to make it to shore with the cannon, and by the time she made it, the siege was already over. Miles and miles down the coast, the defenseless city had fallen, and Menagerie had been breached, causing the largest prison break of interned Faunus yet reported. To add insult to injury, her futile efforts cost Bonny her fin, and with it her hopes of ever swimming again.

Landlocked, out of hope and out of options, Bonny found her way out as a Huntress. Gaining an Atlas sponsorship for the combat skills she'd honed as part of a pirate crew, she fashioned herself a weapon out of her father's old cannon, eventually graduating from the preliminary combat schools and finding her way to Beacon as a transfer student, where she hoped/hopes to start a new life.

Character theme: While Bonny represents the Golden Age of Piracy as a whole, she is more specifically based loosely off of Anne Bonny, an infamous female pirate who left a life of privilege and luxury behind to sail the seven seas on a ship called Revenge, burning her father's livelihood to the ground as she left.

Name:

Olivia Verde

Age:

18

Gender:

Most definitely a girl.

Species:

Hooman

APPEARANCE

Height:

5'10

Weight:

132

Clothing Style:

Olivia's dresses very stylishly, and practically. Like, she dresses like an adventurer. Usually, she wears jeans, and a top of some sort. Accessorized with a stylish jacket, or belt. However, Olivia is never seen without her scarf. A green scarf with thin red stripes that she keeps wrapped around her neck.

Hair Color:

Brown

Eye Color:

Brown

COMBAT

Weapon:

Olivia uses nunchucks that are a jet black color with golden details in the shape of snakes. These nunchucks are seemingly made out of a metal (Just painted black), and are longer than you'd expect nunchucks to be (In terms of length, they're more like a three section staff). When she uses them in a fight, she infuses them with her semblance, and makes them glow brightly with electricity. Which is quite a shock when she's facing off with enemies. Olivia can also produce a blade out of these nunchucks with a press of a button, turning the nunchucks into something similar to sickles. When infused with electricity, they're nothing to play with at close quarters. This isn't all these nunchucks are capable of. Much like other weapons, these nunchucks are capable of transforming into a firearm. Specifically, they're capable of splitting in half, and turning into two revolvers. These revolvers have ridiculously long barrels, and shoot giant rounds. These guns are much like handcannons. Best of all, they can be infused with her semblance, firing lightning shots.

Semblance:

In case you haven't realized it, electricity. Olivia is capable of producing large amounts of electricity, and weaponizing it in a variety of ways. She can infuse her hands, and weapons, with the semblance to add more shock to her blows. Alternatively, she can forget that and just shoot it at people. She can't exactly shoot bolts of lightning, her semblance is more of constant streams of electricity.

Dust:

Dust ain't Olivia's style.

Skills:

Muay Thai (Her father taught her how to fight, and she's a very talented martial artist).
Athletic (Capable of a variety of athletic feats).
Experienced (This ain't her first rodeo).

PERSONALIZED

Personality:

Moody/Confrontational/Cranky.
Ambitious/Determined.
Mischievous.
Strives to be the best.
Rather poor social skills.

Skills:

Driving (Olivia owns a motorcycle).
Sparring/Practicing martial arts.
Reading books.
Imaginative.

Background:

Generic backstory, GO! Olivia was born in Vale, to a family of martial artists. Her family includes her mother, father, and her triplet little brothers. Her father was the patriarch of the family, and taught Olivia everything she knew from a young age. Expecting her to become the next big warrior for the family. Teaching her the family martial art, how to shoot, and teaching her how to fight using the nunchucks. Given the fact that she was taught ahead of time, she had a lot of training underneath her belt. Once she was old enough, she decided that she was going to become a great huntress, using her training, she applied to beacon, and passed their combat preliminaries with flying colors.

Character Theme:

Olivia, in terms of Semblance, and weapons, is based off Hurakan, the Mayan God of Hurricanes. Because, her general theme goes along with storms (Electricity, obvi. Nunchucks can be compared to winds, or the sort). A devastating and powerful force. There is a tattoo of a snake on her foot - echoing how one of Hurakan's legs was a snake. Serpents are also engraved in gold on her nunchucks. Much like Hurakan's himself, Olivia is a cranky, moody, force to be reckoned, a wind of destruction, with if you dare cross her. But, otherwise a very creative and laid back human being.

Rowan’s father, being an only child, naturally inherited most of the family wealth when his father died. Rowan grew up living a life of luxury. She was waited on constantly, and could have anything within a moment’s notice. She attending a prestigious private school, where her parents bribed all of her teachers to give her passing grades.

Despite having anything she could ever want, Rowan was unhappy with her life. She barely knew her parents, and she had no one she could truly call a friend. She craved excitement, adventure. Friendship. She begged her parents to send her to combat school. Reluctantly, they let her attend Sanctum Academy in Mistral. Rowan was in for a brutal awakening. Her first year at Sanctum left her at the bottom of her class in nearly all aspects, including socially. No one at Sanctum cared about her.

Rowan spent the summer in between school years fervently training. She desperately wanted to prove herself. When she returned, while she had drastically improved herself, she was nowhere near the top students. She sought tutoring from one of these top students, a kid named Onyx. He gladly took Rowan under his wing, teaching her various fighting methods, as well as Aura and Semblance training.

By the end of her time at Sanctum, Rowan was among the top tier students. She still couldn’t emerge as the best, but she was an excellent fighter. After some discussion with her parents, they agreed to let her further her education as a Huntress. She applied to Beacon Academy, in hopes of getting into the prestigious academy. Much to her surprise, she was accepted. Off she went to Beacon, eager to become a fully-fledged Huntress and help maintain the world’s peace.

Character Theme:

Rowan was inspired by the Norse mythological figure, Svafrlami. Svafrlami was the grandson of Odin, which inspired Rowan's renowned grandfather. Svafrlami forced a pair of dwarves to forge him an extremely powerful sword, but the sword was cursed by the dwarves. One of the dwarve's names was Dvalinn, so I incorporated that into Rowan's name (D. Valinn). Rowan’s Semblance is similar to a curse, although not relevant to the curse placed on the sword.

Vladimir Drakka

Name: Vladimir Plasimov-Drakka

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Species: Human

APPEARANCE

Additional oversized image displaying his weapons and contrasting his clothing choices with one another; please ignore anything that isn't the man in the middle of the image.

Height: 195cm/6.4"

Weight: 110kg/242.5lbs, much of which is muscle

Clothing Style: Vladimir generally wears a tight black bodysuit to show off his musculature to others, over which he wears clothing based on whether he knows he is to fight that day: an incomplete suit of plate armour if he is, a red leather longcoat if he isn't, or both if he wants to appear stylish. He's also inexplicably fond of white gloves.

Hair Color: Black

Eye Color: Red

COMBAT

Weapon: Maw and Breath - Vladimir's weapons of choice consist of a large cruciform longsword and an oversized, almost handcannon-esque pistol, as pictured above. Whilst not necessarily fancy-looking by most weapon standards at first, both possess the capacity to open up into wicked multi-toothed constructs that are quite capable of restraining even a trained Hunter or Huntress in the manner of a multi-dimensional beartrap, and are barbed such that anyone who attempts to struggle free will likely suffer a lot of injury for their efforts. Furthermore, Breath's construct has the (optional) capacity to be launched with some force by firing the weapon whilst it is deployed, letting it restrain a foe from a great distance, and even remains connected to the handle of the gun by a thick metal wire to drag the victim back toward Vladimir for a closer-ranged pummelling.

Semblance: Blood of the Dragon - This is a secret, for now.

Dust: Dust is utilised by Vladimir, generally as part of his weapon's ammunition; his preference is shells loaded with Fire or Lava Dust, but if he knows he'll be facing an opponent with a particular association, he'll likely pick out ammo elements to counter the opponent's preferences, e.g. Water and/or Ice to negate Fire.

Personality:

• Manipulative

• Arrogant
• Intellectual
• Pragmatic

Skills:

• Intelligent
• Athletic
• Able street fighter
• Charismatic
• Knowledgable

Background: Vladimir was born into a moderately aristocratic Atlesean family which had recently fallen on hard times. His father, also called Vladimir, was a member of a group called the Knights of the Dragon - giving him his honorary surname "Drakk" or Dragon, and his son the surname of "Drakka" or Dragonson, in addition to the family surname of Plasimov - that had been quite famous in the nation of Mantle before it ceased to exist, but which had since declined to the point of near-dissolution. This state of affairs had not sat well with Drakk, or his high lifestyle and funds, and he thus began abusing his wife both physically and mentally, until finally overdoing it and accidentally putting her in hospital for long enough that questions were asked about him. This ultimately triggered Drakka's removal from Drakk's overbearing mannerisms, though these had already left in the twelve-year-old the beginnings of his own rather cruel, if highly intellectual personality; as a final request, Vladimir's father asked the authorities that, rather than being put into foster care, he be sent to live with some close family friends, the Morgensterns.
Unlike the Plasimov family, the Morgenstern family had done very well for themselves in spite of their own allegiance with the Knights of the Dragon. Seeing what his father had declined to, and comparing his own possible future to that if he didn't make his moves quickly, Vladimir made it a personal goal of his to usurp the biological heir to the Morgenstern's fortune, and thus to surpass his own father in every way he could. He started to sidle himself into the family patriarch Valentine's good graces as quickly as possible, whilst simultaneously engaging in psychological warfare against his step-brother Jonathan to throw him off and have him lose face at times when it would matter. He might have succeeded, too, if not for two significant factors: Valentine was a lot more perceptive than Vladimir gave him credit for, often figuring out the truth of Vlad's manipulations with little obvious effort; and, more importantly, Jonathan was not as much of a doormat as he first appeared. Despite Vladimir's best efforts to avoid direct conflict, the two teens came to blows far more often than he'd like, and these fights quickly drew out both of their innate potentials. Deciding that he would rather they make use of their developing Auras against the Grimm than against each other, Valentine enrolled both children at one of Atlas' private combat schools, in preparation for them to eventually enroll in the famed Atlas Academy itself.
This to some extent quelled their battles for the time being, since illegal combat was far more harshly punished by the school than by their father, but Vladimir nevertheless continued to bully Jonathan at any opportunity he got, leading to little good blood between them. This unstable peace ended after Vlad finally unlocked his Semblance - something which he suspected might be inherited, but which he decided to grant an appropriate name anyway: Blood of the Dragon. He spent the final year or so of his education at the school training his Semblance and figuring out what it could do with little intimidation toward Jonathan; then, on the very last day of school, he made a point of beating his stepbrother to a pulp with his bare hands in public, getting himself arrested and his brother hospitalised and in a coma. Shortly afterward, he was put before his stepfather, who had already decided that Vlad had gone too far this time. In no uncertain terms, Valentine told the astounded boy that he had arranged to send him to Beacon Academy in Vale as a transfer student, stating his belief that the education there was less thorough than in Atlas, but that that was exactly what Vlad deserved for what he'd done, and that maybe the more liberal setting would teach him some damn humility. Not long after, Vladimir was sent off to Beacon, having already vowed to become the academy's top student and show both Valentine and Jonathan what he was truly capable of, or else die trying, for nothing less than this would satisfy his ego.

tl;dr Background:

• Vlad was born into a previously-rich family that had fallen on hard times;
• His father became abusive and beat Vlad's mother unconscious, Vlad was taken away by authorities, but his father requested he be left with family friends;
• Vlad came into the family, which consisted of a father and son, and had done far better than Vlad's family, so he vowed to inherit that family's wealth even over his stepbrother via trickery and psychological warfare;
• It turns out the stepfather was smarter, and the son less wimpy, than credit had been given, and Vlad and his stepbrother fought often enough that it became a problem;
• The stepfather put them both into a private training school to make better use of their aura than it currently had, and their fighting was mostly quelled by stricter punishments;
• Vlad eventually unlocked his semblance, Blood of the Dragon, which he studied for a bit, then used to beat his stepbrother into a coma at the end of their time at the school;
• As punishment, his stepfather had him sent to Beacon Academy rather than Atlas Academy, with Vlad vowing to become Beacon's top student in response to this injustice.

Character Theme: Evidently, this guy is based on Vlad II "Țepeș" Dracula, or rather the vampire count who spawned from his acts and inherits his name. However, a lot of inspiration for Vladimir's character, his backstory in particular, comes from Dio Brando of JJBA fame, which I feel isn't too unsuitable given that the real Dracula was called "The Impaler" for a very good reason. That said, his appearance is derived from that of Alucard of Hellsing fame, and there's also a reference to The Domination of Draka in there, to make the name less of a straight theft from real life, and which still fits given the heavy dragon theming in his character.

Weapon: Riesen Messer- The giant's knife is rather underwhelming normally, three feet and only a foot thick. However this piece of steel hide's a few tricks. Able increase and decrease it's length it can go all the way to eight feet, earning it's name as the giant's knife.

It's second form is one even more impressive, the weaver is able to use spools of thread to move and tie up targets. Controlling these threads while time consuming and requiring highly skilled motor control they can be used to move and create trip wires and other such traps.

Dust: When using dust it is generally in a spool inserted into the threading system, while not often used as the level of precision is difficult to control. Thus generally if he does use dust it's for steam, failing that he will also use it to annoy and hamper his opponent. His sword can use it as well though low funds means he generally just use's it in spools.

Weapon:

Jindan (Golden Elixir)

Jindan (Golden Elixir)

This gourd doesn’t transform. However, it contains mysterious liquid which Yu drinks all the time. (Which she claims to be juice or milk. Whichever she sees fit at the time.) It has a long red rope that is tied around the middle of the gourd with a large portion of the rope loose, allowing Yu to use it similarly to a Meteor Hammer.

Semblance:
Drunken Haze
The more Yu drinks from her gourd, the stronger her attacks become, however this is limited to the capacity of her gourd and how much she can handle before just passing out entirely. Along with increases in attack power, Yu's drinking starts to affect her opponent as well; causing them to see multiple illusions of the Huntress, which imitate her movements. These illusions don't inflict any damage, however they look very life-like, thus making it difficult to find the real Yu.

Dust: Yu doesn’t use dust.

Skills: Yu is almost exclusively trained in Zui Quan (Drunken Fist) and has adapted the style in such a way that allows it to have more practical application beyond traditional means. In combat, Yu is extremely unpredictable and is very skilled at evading attacks.

Background

Born in the western parts of Minstral, Yu was raised by her father, having lost her mother when she gave birth to Yu. Her father was a Huntsman, but not the glorified kind that many expect in those days. He was a Huntsman who had strayed from his ‘righteous’ path and did what he could to raise his daughter. However, a lot of his money went into buying time from women and booze, leaving very little for their essentials.

While her father was out on a job, Yu would often walk around the town, begging for money, which often lead to her being beaten by others. She had spoken to a mysterious old man on numerous occasions. He always smelt of alcohol, but he was a very nice person to talk to. When she was barely in her teens, she told the old man about her dreams to become a Huntress. Instead of laughing like almost everyone else did, he took her seriously and decided to teach her his art. Zui Quan, or Drunken Fist. She wasn’t introduced to alcohol until the later stages of her training.

During her years of training, she had convinced her father to allow her to attend Sanctum academy. Her father, hoping that she wouldn’t turn out like him, allowed her to attend classes. It wasn’t long before she graduated from the academy, and as a gift, the old man gave her his Gourd. Jindan. And the clothing that she wears now was a gift from her father.

The old man suggested that she went to Beacon academy, he never really gave her a reason why, but she decided to follow his advice for one last time.

Character Theme: Yu is loosely based on Lu Dongbin who is an immortal from Chinese Mythology. Lu, like the other 7 immortals in his group, are often depicted as joyful people who enjoy getting drunk often, hence Yu’s enjoyment of drinking. The styles in Zui Quan also refer to the 8 immortals. Lu Dongbin is also depicted as a ‘ladies man’, which is referred to in Yu’s occasional flirty nature.

Hair Color: Jet Black

Eye Color: Blue

COMBAT

Weapon: "Jet Stream": Jet Stream is a set of two black submachine guns with a red trim, which can transform into twin wakizashis for close range combat. When not in combat they collapse into his sleeves for easy concealment.

Semblance: "Sonic Boom": Chen teleports in a flash of black smoke up to a range of 20 feet in any direction. He must know where he is teleporting or he runs the risk of teleporting into a solid object, which would obviously end badly. Two seconds must pass between uses, wait time gets longer as he runs out of energy.

Dust: Keeps a few clips of Incendiary Dust bullets at all times.

Skills: Chen uses an acrobatic fighting style primarily focused around dodging and redirecting attacks rather than blocking them. He focuses on staying mid-range and peppering foes with bullets, teleporting into melee range when he sees an opening. Is more suited for taking down slow targets and goons rather than powerful opponents. Works well in a team, not much of a leader.

Personality:

• Jokester
• Carefree
• Intelligent

• Serious when needed

Skills:

• Video Games
• Tabletop Games
• Flight Simulators
• Secret Hobby: Reading

Background: Chen was born in Atlas to an Atlas pilot and a no name village woman, the pilot abandoning the woman as soon as he found out she was pregnant. The woman hoped to start a new life outside of Atlas and immigrated to Vale to find something new. Chen grew up always watching the sky, hoping to one day fly through the great blue and find his father. As Chen grew older his mother would tell him stories of the daring feats his father would perform, but never told him his name. She would instead call him "Z", though she never explained why. As he grew older he abandoned his dream of meeting his father, becoming aware that his father wasn't as great of a man as he believed, but never gave up on one day flying. He joined Beacon to become a Huntsman and maybe because he liked how high up Beacon was in comparison to the town he lived in.

Character Theme: Chen is loosely based off of Zephyrus, the Greek god of the west wind. Zephyrus is also the god of the spring wind, which is why I made Chen such a happy and jokestery person. In Zephyrus' stories he's also shown as a womanizer which I included in the form of Chen's father. And finally Chen's nickname "Z" is an reference to the first letter of Zephyrus.

Violetta Hyacin

Name: Violetta Hyacin, but she prefers to go by Vi when asked for her name

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Species: Human

APPEARANCE

Vi is a average-looking girl, not stunningly beautiful but not truly that bad either. Her hair is cut in a somewhat messy fashion, and usually is something that she doesn't deal with until it starts to become an annoyance. In terms of her figure, she's rather slender and lithe in her build, with a somewhat larger than average bust and slight hourglass shape to her frame. She has some muscles and tone to her body, but not a lot due to it being hard for her to gain much with her body type, as well as a lack of real effort to build it up.

Height: 5'10

Weight: 155lbs

Clothing Style: Vi dresses to be as inconspicuous and unnoticeable as possible, tending to wear either black and/or dark purple clothes to assist in this. She wears a large black and purple zip-up hoodie, baggy jeans, and some sneakers before calling it a day, not really too particular about what she wears.He also wears contacts to help him with her vision, and while she isn't blind without them, they will definitely cause problems if she doesn't have them in.

Hair Color: Purple

Eye Color: Dull Gray

COMBAT

Weapon: Black Needle: Vi's main weapon starts off as a plain-looking, yet powerful railgun, made to pierce through the armor of even the strongest grimm with little difficulty, firing off a single reinforced bullet at insane speeds. However, in order to make the shot, the lightning dust has to charge up for a bit(about one post) before firing, which causes the gun to over-heat immediately and giving it a cool down time that's at least double that of the charge time(two posts). To add extra power, it can be over-charged, but the longer it's charged, the longer the cool down, as well as a chance for the weapon to possible over-heat while charging, resulting in the weapon exploding with the stored electrical energy. After every shot, the weapon needs to be reloaded with both another bullet and a lightning dust cartridge, as it uses up the whole thing in that single shot.

When there Vi is unable to use her weapon as the Sniper rifle she'd like it to be, she can shift the weapon into it's shotgun form, causing the barrel to expand and slide down towards her in order to shorten the length of the weapon and make it easier to handle. After a quick ammunition change, the weapon can now fire powerful slug rounds at the enemy, which can also be switched around for Dust rounds if needed, enabling her to deal quite a bit of damage to those who think they can take him up close. The effective distance of this weapon is a bit larger than most others of this type due to the slug ammunition, meaning that he can also take some foes by surprise if they thing they can play a game of keep away. The downside to this is that her weapon lacks the spread that shotguns normally have, and thus makes it hard to deal with speedy opponents, as she has to make every shot count instead of just going hog wild.

The name black needle comes from the appearance of the projectiles once they're fired from the railgun, as they strangely enough leave a thin trail of black energy behind the bullet for some reason. This has the unfortunate effect of giving away her position in a fight.

Semblance: Now you see me . . .: Vi's semblance is the ability to turn herself and anything she's holding both invisible and intangible for a short amount of time. However, it takes about three seconds or so for this effect to complete, meaning he can't use it to avoid attacks if he;s in the heat of battle. The effect can last up to a full minute, though that can be fairly tiring, but it also ends the moment that she's about to launch an attack against a chosen target, resulting in a three second fade in that starts the moment he's cemented the idea in his head.(Ex. She sees a grimm, activates her ability, and then, after she decided to walk over behind the grim to initiate the counter attack, some part of her will instantly become visible, and over three seconds, the rest of her will follow up as he tries to walk over and commence the attack. The moment she attacks, she becomes fully tangible as well.) She tries not to use this ability consecutively, as it can really tire her out to keep going in and out of it like that.

During the fade-in and fade-out, there is usually some kind of effect that goes with it, either his body seeming to unravel, some parts fading out before others due, his eyes suddenly beginning to glow, or a unusually wide smile spreading across his face. He doesn't know the reasons for this, nor does he particularly care. From time to time, different effects will pop up other than those stated, but they are the most common.

Dust: Lightning dust powers his weapon while it's in its railgun form, and she tends to use all kinds of dust in his shotgun rounds, usually things like lightning, ice, and gravity to keep her foes locked down and give herself or her teammates time to go in for the kill. To further that goal, she also has special trap rounds that don't activate upon impact with a solid surface, instead burrowing into the ground or whatever living surface(or Grimm) they've been placed on, which she can activate by pressing a special button on the gun that sends out the signal, activating the dust to create an explosion of elemental energy underneath or around the target.

Background: Vi comes from a long line of Hunters and Huntresses, all of them masters of the arts of stealth and deception. From birth she's been expected to join the ranks of the Hunters and keep the people of Remnant safe from the horrors of grim, taking to the Shadows in order to hunt down the savage beasts and drive humanity forward. And while Vi has worked towards that goal, she's rather . . . unmotivated by it. She's rather unmotivated by most things really, looking at the world through the eyes of someone struggling to care about it. She does what her parents ask her to, and works just hard enough to meet their expectations, but anyone who watches her can tell she never really gives her best at anything.

Vi grew rather lonely, as her family has long been seen as a sort of boogeyman amongst the people of the world, as they tend to keep to themselves and the methods of some of their predecessors were known to be rather . . . disturbing, if effective, in how they disposed of the Grimm, not to mention the odd behaviors and mannerisms of some of the more notable hunters to have spawned from their brood. Left to her own devices all his life, never really interacting with anyone but her family, she developed some . . . odd coping habits to deal with her loneliness, like watching others from afar, and stalking those she found to be particular interesting and that she thought she could learn from. She took to copying the manner of other kids in attempts to fit in, but they usually ended in failure as people just found it weird and creepy. As she reached her teenage years, entering into the combat school of Signal like her parents wanted, she began to stop really caring about what other people thought.

As the years went on, she simply let herself be absorbed by the job and lifestyle her parents wanted for her, lounging around the near other people, some part of her still hoping to glean some information out of those around her, yet most of her not really caring so much about it. As she attends Beacon, she feels neither relief that she was accepted, nor worry for the new year. Instead, she simply preps herself for another year by herself as people label her off as the creepy girl in class you shouldn't talk to.

Character Theme: This character is based around the Chesire cat in terms of her semblance and some of her demeanor, though instead of a smiling, happy go-lucky personality, I decided to focus more on the strong sense of apathy and uncaring that the character seems to have in all of his incarnations, a lack of caring for the world around him except when certain people or events catch his interest. In those instances, she'll show more of her true self, a somewhat intrusive and obsessive personality that seems a bit off-kilter to the average person

Other:Has a pet cat named Alice that he takes with him nearly everywhere during his off days. She's a black cat with one blue eye and one green eye, and a strip of white fur that goes all the way down her back and up her tail.

Stratocaster

The Stratocaster is just as much a weapon as it is a musical instrument. The weapon acts as an amp for Coch’s semblance. Its whammy bar allows him to control the brutality of the waves by controlling the wave patterns. Next to the whammy bar is a chamber for loading dust capsules. The two dust capsules that Coch uses are Fire and Lightning.

Now, there’s a secret story behind Coch’s Stratocaster and its design. While most will only see it used as an amp, it has a secondary form. Originally, the Stratocaster was a rifle designed by the Atlesian military and gifted to him by his father. It still contains those functions, those functions being similar to a M16A2 rifle. The dust capsules are rounds fed into the chamber, and the whammy bar much like a bolt-action charging handle. With the guitar’s jagged electric guitar edges, it also functions as a battle ax and its wide base a shield for blocking attacks.

ＳＥＭＢＬＡＮＣＥ

Coch’s semblance grants him the ability to manipulate sound. When paired with his Stratocaster, his voice becomes a deadly weapon enabling him to produce decibels of destruction. His sound abilities when combined with his singing abilities can be used to empower himself and others, getting the team pumped to fight by raising their strength, speed, and durability for the duration of his jam. He can mute an entire room and throw his voice a great distance. As long as whoever he is trying to communicate with is within visual distance, they will hear him clearly even if he threw a whisper. An assault from Coch’s sound abilities can cause enemies to suffer disorienting, nauseating, and if directly under the bombardments of his sound vibrations—death. With his whammy bar, he can create vibrating patterns erratic enough to create a sound barrier for himself or anyone he is protecting as long as he is standing within arms’ reach of the person.

He will take down lesser mobs with the AOE abilities granted by his Dust and Semblance. What most students don’t know about him is that he was originally a student (soldier is probably the better term if you knew his Dad) of Atlas Academy. When adopting a more combat-related role, Coch is a brutal fighter. He wields his guitar like an ax, and can switch between a melee and ranged role in mid-combat. He can use dust rounds to speed up his movements, change the direction of his movements, or send himself skyward. The base of his guitar can be used as a shield to absorb the blunt strikes or offenses of his opponents.

ＢＡＣＫＧＲＯＵＮＤ

Coch Taliesin was born to Captain Ares and Terpsichore Taliesin. He was raised a military brat planned from birth to follow in his father’s footsteps to one day become an officer in the Atlesian military. His childhood was full of strict discipline and restriction. His mother was a successful singer and songwriter and his primary inspiration. His father frowned on Coch’s artistic hobbies and one day even tore up the music and poems he would write.

When he came of age to attend Atlas Academy, his father gave him a rifle, hoping that the weapon would motivate him to keep on the path he had set for him and to stay at the top of his class. One day, the stress and social pressure just nearly killed Coch and he knew that he had to get away from Atlas, and out from under his father’s thumb.

Coch secretly applied to Beacon Academy under a false name, and when he was accepted, he unceremoniously dropped out of Atlas and went running with a packed bag to his freedom. The Headmaster wasn’t as easily fooled as Coch had thought, knowing exactly who Coch was when he arrived at the school. Nonetheless, the man allowed him to stay. The singer was officially a free man and he didn’t plan on seeing his father ever again for as long as he could help it. He still carried the rifle that he had given him, and out of spite, with time and patience he was able to engineer it into what he felt would have been his father’s worst nightmare. With the weapon named "Stratocaster," Coch not only started his new life as a student at Beacon Academy but his career as a talented and popular musician.

ＣＨＡＲＡＣＴＥＲ ＴＨＥＭＥ

“Coch” in my character’s first name is Welsh for "Red." “Taliesin” is a bard from Welsh mythology who was renowned for singing at the courts of three Brythonic kings. He was adopted as a child by Elffin, the son of Gwyddno Garanhir, and prophesied the death of Maelgwn Gwynedd by the Yellow Plague. He has been a mythic hero and companion of Bran the Blessed and King Arthur. This will explain Coch's unique Welsh-like accent.

COMBAT

Nevertheless, Orion still has a secondary mode where the bow straightens and a sharp point exits the top end transforming it into a spear used for melee engagements.

Background:
Born on Koshima, the Fox Island, to the reigning, self-declared royal family, Seoyun, mostly called Seo, grew up quite sheltered, although she still loved the island's few forests and hills and as such she spent quite some time outside strolling through nature.
At first Seo was quite annoyed at her place in the line of succession to the island's lands, since she loved the island so much, but her brother managed to convince her to try training for combat and head for the nearby famous Beacon Academy, even though she would be studying together with humans, who she did not have good experiences with in her infrequent visits to Vale. Nevertheless, she was going to become the guardian of the Island, like her aunt.

Character Theme:
Seoyun was inspired by Artemis, Greek goddess of the hunt, wild animals, wilderness, childbirth, virginity and protector of young girls. She is often depicted with bow and arrow with which she was incredibly skilled at. At one point one of her hunting companions, Actaeon, tried to rape her, but she transformed him into a stag and sent the hounds to kill him. Orion was her most beloved hunting companion until she accidentally killed him with an arrow through his head.
