Appearance- [url=http://s29.postimg.org/7glfeq2gn/Garry_full_1662416.jpg]6’2 and nearly 200lb.,[/url] though most people wouldn’t guess since his build is fairly lean and thin and his clothes are generally full-body. Name- Lian Gias Age- 19 Species- Human Aura Color- Blue Semblance- The Hunt. A curse-like Semblance, it can be applied by any extension of Lian’s body; namely his weapon in most cases. Upon realizing on an opponent, a small [url=http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/363/0/5/magic_circle_thing_2_by_scottish_kisa-d35xwhl.jpg]mark[/url] appears, but begins to rapidly fade away, disappearing within a minute at most. Additional uses of his Semblance don't stack, but each application does reset the duration. While in place, the enemy is marked as Lian's prey. He is strengthened when in pursuit or combat, but weakened if he attempts to flee. Weapon- [url=http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131015004524/senkizesshousymphogear/images/e/e2/KanadeSheet4.png]Blast Bicell[/url] is Lian’s custom Flail-Lance. In it’s storage form, it clips onto a hostler at the back of his waist. Fully extended, the weapon is about seven and a half feet in length. The massive lancehead can be fired outwards with a detonation of Dust, turning it into a projectile. Connected to the handle by a length (25m) of wire, its flight path can somewhat be guided. Once it comes to a stop though, Lian can still utilize the weapon for broad sweeping attacks that devastate Grimm in a wide area around him as the heavy lancehead is used in a fashion similar to a flail, but one with an absurdly long chain. As one would expect, the launch feature is also quite devastating if used on an enemy at close ranges. Other Equipment- A thick travel cloak infused with Dust. It maintains a constant temperature as a result, and can keep Lian warm or cool as its temperature doesn't fluctuate too much. A pack that holds his other possessions including food, spare Dust, clothes, etc. The Dust weaved into its material causes the pack and whatever it holds to become unnaturally light, reducing weight by about 25%. History- Born to one of the few nomadic bands of humanity that survived outside of the four Kingdoms, Lians "tribe" roamed the lands near Vacuo. Their history was long, having survived despite the Grimm's attempts to wipe them out. Close knit and with a strong communal spirit, the Grimm were never drawn in large enough numbers to overwhelm the tribe's skilled warriors nor did they stay in one area long enough for it to happen. His childhood, as a male child, was spent in training to prepare him for the task of protecting his people. Their curriculum may not have been as developed as those of prep Academies such as Signal or Sanctum, but it was effective just the same. He spent a long time learning various skills (first-aid, medicine, tracking, etc.) he would likely need before moving onto any sort of combat training, but there were no training wheels when he did. Lian? Pick up your weapon, and don't die. The training didn't really ease up as it simply got easier when Lian didn't die the first few times. He went from fighting captured Grimm to hunting the creatures down and even participating in the defense of his tribe. He fought alongside his father, guardians, teachers, and peers. For years their lives were unchanged, but even their wanderings couldn't slow them to escape the Grimm. Driving off the attacks became harder as older, stronger specimen attacked for some reason. Morale and hope became hard to cling onto as villages the tribe had passed through before had now been reduced to ruins. Despair clawed at the tribe, hounding them as much as the Grimm themselves did. Forced to flee by himself when the tribe finally fell, Lian ran with only his mother's gifts and the clothes on his back. Traveling by himself, he was able to handle the weak Grimm that were drawn to him. Though he had planned to journey to Vacuo the number of Grimm as he drew closer forced him to look elsewhere. Yet there was no elsewhere. Everywhere he tried only showed him destruction left in the Grimm's passing or Lian was forced to turn away as their numbers swelled. Hope began to fade when approaching even Beacon proved impossible, but he held on as he continued to search for somewhere he could go. And then the message reached him. Personality- Independent, but protective nevertheless, Lian is sometime who tries to look out for those around him regardless of their relationship. Generally dependable, though more so in combat situations than social ones, he can be counted out to help out whenever asked to. At the same time Lian has a fairly light-hearted air to him despite what he's been through, and rarely tries force his opinions on others. He might offer advice he thinks is correct, but won't force others to take it. He isn't particularly talkative, but even to strangers is not too hard to figure out his mood due to his expressiveness. In the same way, Lian is a fairly straight forward person who prefers to confront issues rather than dance around them. Fighting Style- A Fighter or Bruiser, Lian is a front-line combatant who delves into the midst of melee. He isn't squishy and can take hits while hitting back just as hard. Meant to hold his ground and prevent the Grimm from reaching his allies. Isn't very effective against enemies with high range or mobility, though he'll likely tear them apart once he gets in range. Other- While he's an accomplished survivor, he's not great with the newer technologies available in the Kingdoms. In the sane vein, he doesn't have much skill with working Dust or weapons beyond his own.
