Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Charon Mauveine

Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep! Charon's alarm set on his scroll buzzed obtrusively, vibrating the whole nightstand and making even more of a racket than it already was. The screen on the scroll strobed 8:45, and the alarm was titled: Breakfast (Weekend).

Mrrruurrghhh? Charon stirred in his comfy bed, disturbed by the buzzing gremlin on his nightstand. He turned over slowly, and with tired eyes still shut, hit the snooze button on his scroll. Mmmmmm...bettauu... And without another movement from the young man, he was again sound asleep. At least, not for another five minutes.

By the 3rd time he unconsciously hit the snooze button, he has been buzzed enough times for his brain to leave the murky waters of warm, wondrous sleep and into the ugly state of being both half dead and half alive. Guhhh... What time is it? He lifted his head out from under the covers and grabbed his scroll to turn off the annoying alarm. Hmph, it's 9:00am. I wonder what's for breakfast? He yawned and lifted the covers up so he could swing his legs out onto the freezing cold floor.

He yawned again, rubbing his eyes and scanned the room. The sunlight that pierced into the room was intense, and he had to squint while his eyes adjusted into focus. He noticed that all his team members where already gone, with a mess of blankets on Andromeda's bed "fortress", Ferris's bed was neat and tidy, like he had been up and gone for a while. Charon had a funny feeling growing inside of him, Huh, usually Ferris gets up before me, but Andromeda?

Grrooaaawwwlluuhh

And there was that terrible feeling, and along with it a realization that made him stop all thoughts of his morning routine. He glanced back at his scroll and read the time: it was now 9:04, around the time when the breakfast rush usually sets in at the mess hall. His mind slowly processed all of the information, and when it hit him his eyes grew wide in shock, realizing something very important about today: It's pancake day... His mouth watered at the thought delicious pancakes, stacked 3 or 4 high with melted butted and warm maple syrup with sides of scrambled eggs with peppers and maple sausage links.

Groooowwwwwwlllleeeeee...

Charon looked back at his scroll once again: it was 9:09.

Crap.

Panic set Charon into motion, and he practically leaped off his bed and into the bathroom to quickly use the toilet and to frantically brush his teeth. He hurried on out, then ran back in, forgetting to rinse his mouth out and flush the toilet. He ran back over to his nightstand to check his scroll: it was 9:13. His stomach growled in impatience, and in a blink of an eye, he swapped out of his night attire into the school uniform that was now wrinkled. He grabbed his shoes, tying them on one at a time while hopping forward to the door with the other foot.

Before his hand grabbed the door handle, he almost forgot about his hair, which from what he could tell, was a mess. He weighed the idea of either risking losing a spot in line for his rather unkempt and wild bed head. His amber eyes fixated on his favorite purple hat, lying on his nightstand. Hat? Or no hat? His anxious body held still for a moment, but he decided that personal appearance was better that the idea of everyone seeing his hair practically hang out like some wild and twisted grey monster on his head. He leapt for his hat and planted it on over his bedhead, ran back to the door, and slammed it shut in less than a few seconds.

Profile

Name: Charon Mauveine

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Weapon: Double-Barreled Sniper Great sword & An Atlas Issued Knight's Defender Sword – Dubbing the pair of swords: “Love And War." At a glance, it appears as a large over-and-under barreled sniper rifle. However, the butt of the rifle is in fact where the blades for the sword function are, folding out toward the front to envelop the whole rifle, which the gun handle is pulled back to straighten out into a sword grip. The scope is a NV/FLIR x10 variable scope, with a red dot sight on top for close range encounters. Ammunition is loaded in 10-round magazines into the bottom of the rifle, underneath the receiver and are loaded with the left magazine loading the bottom, while the right magazine goes over the bottom barrel to load the top barrel. A harness with a sheath is worn on the back to holster the weapon. He also wears a shoulder guard on his right shoulder to rest the greatsword on while on the move in combat. Total weight is about 20kg. The harness includes a bandolier for color-coded magazines holding specific dust rounds. Purple being plasma, Yellow being electricity, Blue being ice, Red being fire (Or Incendiary as Charon calls them) Orange being explosive, Black being standard slugs, and White for flash smoke. The gun color itself is primarily a pale gray, but with purple as the secondary color. The other sword is an older Atlas military issued Defender Sword, used around the time of the Great War by his Father's Father. It was given to him by his Grandfather when he was old enough to volunteer when Charon lived in Atlas. It is a simple broadsword and scabbard that he wears at his right hip, and wields it with his left hand.

Specialty: Overwatch Sniper – His hypersensitive aura made him a gifted sniper in his own right, able to know where the enemy will be through the eyes of his ally’s auras, making him almost know when to pull the trigger to blast a Grimm away. He tends to stick away from his allies, finding a nice high spot where he can see everything and can cover his allies while also being able to reposition when the need arises. His greatsword function is mainly used when he encounters Grimm in close quarters but often it is seldom used. His physical strength is average at best, enough to haul a 20kg gun-sword and hoist himself up the side of buildings and cliff sides via a grapple hook, but nothing too special. Still, there have been instances where he has underestimated his own strength. Due to his isolation as a sniper, he has excellent survival skills, including signaling for help and first aid.

Semblance: Hypersensitive - His aura is sensitive to others in such a way that he can sense if someone needs help in any form or fashion. In other words, he can “see” through other’s aura. In combat, his ally’s presence heightens his senses and situational awareness to a peak in intense fights. He can also sense Grimm, but it is difficult to do so at times, and requires him to be calm and collected to detect them.

Personality: Absent-Minded but with a big heart. His aura and semblance make him easily distracted, and thus has a sort of care-free attitude, but at times a little too literal, making jokes and sarcasm go way over his head. Consequently, he tends to avoid large groups of hunters or huntresses, as the many number of auras tend to give him quite a headache. Still, he is a nice person who always tries to keep a positive outlook on things, and enjoys talking with friends about their problems. His short attention span has led him to have a hard time in previous schools, having to be held back due to poor grades has led him to be above the average age of others. He has decided to become a hunter to not only help protect people from marauding Grimm, but to prove to his family that he can succeed at something worthwhile all on his own. In combat, his demeanor changes drastically, becoming quite serious in keeping everyone alive and well. He has a no-nonsense attitude in this state, and at times can be difficult to get his attention when he is hell bent on protecting his friends. He is against killing people or Faunus, due to an incident with an outlaw in his brief military career as a member of his town's watch. He also enjoys eating, and will happily eat anything that is presented to him, with the right state of mind of course. For that, he isn’t a half bad of a cook himself, and usually makes something that just hits the spot. He also has quite a soft spot for nature, enjoying the outdoors and all that inhabit it – other than Grimm of course – and enjoys listening to songbirds the most.

Color: Purple

Emblem: Crosshairs in Shield

Appearance: At a height of 6”1’ he is above average, but not towering over everyone, but enough to make shorter people envious of his superior reach. His attire consists of a gray shirt under a purple-white plaid shirt with some old jeans and an old baseball styled hat. His leather harness, shoulder pad, some kneepads and elbow pads complete the whole look. He wears two purple gauntlets on either arm, that both have different functions: the right is his grappling hook, allowing him to rapidly reposition, while his left controls his micro scout drone built into the bottom of the gauntlet, which serves for additional recon. The drone is like a large oval shaped stone, that when deployed, opens up into a sort of glider plane that is thrown like a paper plane to begin flight. His eye color is amber. His hair is a dark grey and is usually unkempt and a little on the wild side at short-medium length. He occasionally grows a light beard before shaving it off. He is in decent shape: not too buffed out, not too lanky.

@HereComesTheSnow could you please get in contact with this person you know who might have interest? After some thought, I have concluded that to get Asuras situated the best solution is making a new team.

@Lugubrious

Hey I would be that person that Snow was referring to.

So I'm new to this site and have been interested in joining for a while. Snow referred me a while back, and I've made a character a while back. Hoping you guys can help someone new to this site out and show me the ropes on what to do.
