[hider=You're that ninja] [b]Name[/b]: Shaoqing Shan [b]Age[/b]: 18 [b]Gender[/b]: Male [b]Species[/b]: Human [b]Theme Song[/b]: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgkh_G_DLwg]Susano'o[/url] [b]Height[/b]: 5'6 [b]Weight[/b]: 53kg [b]Personality[/b]: Focused, serious, confident, but also a bit of a trickster. He is fond of exercising his skills, but at the same time is quite conservative, which can surprise some people as he may refuse to do things when people think he wouldn't. That said, he is proud of his skills, and knows he's good at his job which can get irritating for some people, and his job is espionage and assassination. He may not have stealth capabilities in his skills and weapons, which is exactly why he's so proud. He's damn good at the stealth section without any powers. Academically, he is more than simply capable, and is even learning multiple languages, his career path seems to be in the shadows, and thus has already undertaken training for that purpose. [b]Aura[/b]: Flashy blue with lightning. [b]Weapon[/b]: Handgun, Sword [b]Weapon Name[/b]: Raiden [b]Weapon Functions[/b]: As a handgun, it functions as one would expect a handgun would. Although it has a few special features, first it's a dual ammo system and can switch between firing the revolver cartridge, or the handgun cartridge. The handgun cartridge fires regular rounds, and has a better firing rate, while the revolver cartridge is usually fitted with special dust bullets, and he carries more of these to load up whenever they are needed. The sword flips the handgun out and creates a blade of aura, or rather, lightning. There is a conductive rod in the middle that recycles the lightning around it, allowing him to keep it out for huge amounts of time for negligible cost. Kusanagi is a better cutting tool than the Raiden sword however, as that is a much purer and concentrated blade of lightning. This is more a sidearm for self-defense. [b]Armor/ Clothing[/b]: [b]Semblance Name[/b]: Lightning Conversion [b]Semblance[/b]: In essence, the ability is to transform any aura he comes into contact with on touch into lightning, allowing him to completely destroy aura-based defenses and deal all that aura back to them as lightning damage. Condition is that he must come into contact with it through his hands, bare skin and all, making this kind of tactic risky if used incorrectly, but devastating and often an instant win if used correctly. Naturally he can transform his own aura into lightning and channel it, allowing him to throw out lightning bolts, or travel upon them allowing lightning-fast movements. His movement skills can be surprisingly silent too, or he can simply use it to jolt his own body to move faster than normal. He has a technique tree called "Susano'o", based on converting aura into pure blades of lightning. The moves are as follows, [list][*] Kusanagi - Creates a katana of lightning, which he can simply use. Lasts for a fair amount of time, and can slice through most surfaces. He can naturally control the length for a larger or shorter blade, depending on the need. [*] Kamaitachi - He can throw out small blades of lightning like shuriken. [*] Raijin - He creates a bow of lightning and fires a shot. [*] Fuujin - He creates kusarigama, a sickle and chain weapon. [/list] [b]Strengths[/b]: As a ninja he's really good at keeping himself hidden, but also due to his lightning skills, he can dispatch a foe in an instant. Unique to him compared to other stealthy fighters is that he can instantly destroy tanks who rely on their semblance, sneak up behind, and feedback all their aura into lightning and put them out of commission in an instant. His lightning weapons are also incredibly difficult to defend against due to their penetrative and destructive capabilities, and can dispatch foes in an instant. [b]Weaknesses[/b]: As a ninja, most direct fighters would beat him out on skill alone, so what he must rely on is his variety of skills to survive. Even his main weapon is more a side-arm than a main weapon, a simple sword and handgun. There is the reason he boasts the best acrobatic skill and agility of his colleagues, he would prefer to run and hide for a better opportunity when opposed. Plus, he needs to make contact for his feedback for long enough for it to take full effect, so he can also be vulnerable if spotted leading up to this move. His [b]Bio[/b]: Shaoqing is the son of a well-renowned soldier within Atlas' military, although he died in the line of duty with the details classified, and Shaoqing and his mother simply told that he was killed defending Atlas, they moved to Vault. Unknown to him and his mother, his father Huo Shan was a black ops operative, he was a lot more famous as an espionage agent, though that fame is self-contained within the military's most confidential files and known only to the world of shadows and the underground. It was a strange and almost expected fate that Shaoqing would seemingly follow in his footsteps years later when he entered Vault, and distinguished himself as an incredibly skilled stealth operative. Shaoqing academically is quite able, his skills as a fighter are some of the best in hand to hand, and excel in other fields, though a specialist who utilizes weapons well may beat him in a direct fight. Seeing as his strength is in stealth, he has dedicated much more time to that than his combat skills, so they are justifiably lacking. As a student among his peers, he is respected, and quite social too, some second years look up to him, although he's not the most popular kid being a somewhat more low-profile kind of person, he is still seen as one of the academy's top students. [b]Etymology[/b]: Shan meaning "flash/lightning", and Shaoqing meaning "young blue". [b]Family[/b]: [list][*]Huo Shan - Father, deceased [*]Shui Shan - Mother, living in Vault. [/list] [b]Other Notes[/b]: [/hider] [hider=Crows. EVERYWHERE] [b]Name[/b]: Krahe Zwolf [b]Age[/b]: 18 [b]Gender[/b]: Male [b]Species[/b]: Human [b]Theme Song[/b]: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epr0ElgoR-A]In the Shadows[/url] [b]Height[/b]: 5'7 [b]Weight[/b]: 45kg [b]Personality[/b]: Disturbingly charming, is a good way to describe it. He's quite nice, has good looks to go with it, but can get under people's skin like that. The way he acts almost seems as if he has no fault whatsoever, in reality he suppresses a destructive desire to test his new toys. He's a very skilled inventor, and made his weapon himself, and is often asked reluctantly by his colleagues to fix or improve their weapons. He kindly accepts. He has a bright future as a saboteur, assassin, and espionage agent. [b]Aura[/b]: Black with crow feathers. [b]Weapon[/b]: Materialization gloves [b]Weapon Name[/b]: Nightmare [b]Weapon Functions[/b]: The weapon itself is a glove, and on the forearm section is a place to put a huge array of dust vials, and at the flick of his wrist he is able to access them. The weapon functions as a conduit to shape his aura into physical forms, allowing him to make small throwing weapons with lethal penetrative power, along with being able to very quickly adapt and add dust properties to them, giving him a variety of strategies on the fly. They can form small weapons to fight with, but unless he has a gigantic store of aura, he cannot reliably make weapons larger than a shortsword for any practical use. [b]Weapon[/b]: Array of hidden knives [b]Weapon Name[/b]: Twelve Brothers [b]Weapon Functions[/b]: He has twelve hidden knives in his battle outfit, six on him regardless of combat need. The ones not in combat are hidden in his shoes, two front and back for a total of four, and under his right and left hand sleeves. The other six are carried in combat, two as main weapons on the back, two on his elbows, and one that is parallel with his heel, which can let him hang from unexpected places. People have tried to take those knives from him out of combat, but it seems impossible. [b]Armor/ Clothing[/b]: (Will get to that) [b]Semblance Name[/b]: Murder [b]Semblance[/b]: His Semblance is possibly the best espionage and assassination one in the academy easily. He is able to split himself into crows, using it to teleport, scout, and even attack at the best strength a crow could. He cannot stay split up as crows for too long. The crows feed him information through their eyes, and some are able to scavenge and eat to replenish his strength, making him also the strongest candidate for a deep cover mission. [b]Strengths[/b]: Fast, agile, and easily the best at running away. The way he defeats opponents is with proper setup, and using the dust throwing blades at his disposal thanks to his glove the Nightmare. His various hidden knives can also be an unpleasant surprise for any unprepared attacker. [b]Weaknesses[/b]: He has zero ability to brute force anything whatsoever, all his weapons are precision based, and he has no abilities that have any significant damage. He is also very good at running for a reason, naturally in a direct fight he would lose. If he wants to kill, he'll need very precise hits with his throwing weapons. That being said, his ability to kill Grimm is pretty abysmal as he doesn't have the skills to do it, but his potential to kill humanoids is ridiculously high. This is why he is being looked into for Hunter Hunting, Hunters who hunt other Hunters who have strayed from the righteous path. [b]Bio[/b]: His past is generally unknown to almost everyone at the academy, teachers included, but he was enrolled by the grandmaster himself. Many believe he is someone the grandmaster picked up, but they seem to have no relationship outside of that of teacher and student like everyone else at the academy. Krahe is a very self-initiated individual, eccentric at times, and quite pragmatic to the dismay of those who work with him, as he may entirely disregard any sentiments in the situation, though that being said, his tactical mind is perhaps some of the best in the academy. In fact in his team while not leader, is definitely the brains of every operation, coupled with his semblance, his ability to accurately inform his allies is some of the best. His true past is that he was the child of a mafioso in Vale, until they were destroyed by someone who "rose from the dead" so to speak. A man bent on revenge destroyed the mafia and freed Krahe as a side-effect. Krahe is one of twelve children in his particular group, him being the youngest, and thus, the only one of the twelve who were not indoctrinated by the mafia yet. Therefore, he ended up with the cognitive and combative training they received, but was quite capable of making his own way around, although being never exposed to society until recently, is quite unable to be 'human' so to speak, though he is learning that to his own pace, and occasionally even takes notes. He has figured one thing first though, being nice is a sure way to get what you want. Krahe himself is aware of his brothers and sisters, in fact the moment he became a third year, he took any mission that pertained to hitmen and other assassins, as he knew that they were doing their jobs even after their masters were disbanded. He wanted to find them and help them, and kill them if necessary. He knew not why he wanted to, he can simply go about his own life and they won't bother him much, but if there was anything he's learned so far being in a team for now his third year, it was a sense of responsibility. [b]Etymology[/b]: Krahe means Crow in German, and so does Zwolf, meaning 12. [b]Family[/b]: [WIP] [b]Other Notes[/b]: His name is inspired by a German tale called "Twelve Brothers". A king wants to kill his twelve sons, so that his thirteenth child would be a girl, she alone can inherit his kingdom. The Queen tells this to their youngest son, Benjamin, and that she will give them a warning with a flag. After twelve days of waiting in the forest, the sons see a red flag, indicating that they shall be sentenced to death. The brothers swear bloody revenge on every girl and move to an enchanted cottage deep in the forest, where they must feed on animals. Ten years later, after hearing of their existence, the sister finds them there, where the queen hid them for precaution. Together, the siblings live in harmony. But as the sister rips out twelve white lilies out of ignorance, her brothers turn to ravens and fly away. At the behest of an old woman, she decides not to speak and not to laugh for seven years, in order to save her brothers. A hunting king finds her and marries her. His mother however, slanders the girl's silence, and convinces the king to burn her. The rescued brothers save her from the flames, and with the mother-in-law executed, all live happily together. [/hider] These are the two seniors. I think having both wouldn't be so bad, you'll all be free to control them as NPCs. They're also both espionage-focused.
