Raised with his parents intending for him to be a civilian and outside the dangerous line of work, he was often left home with his aunt while they were on missions. When he was 8, his parents were killed on a mission, and a huntsman who had been with them on the assignment was the one to bring the news to Kalte and his aunt. The sudden loss of his parents caused Kalte severe health issues as he became extremely depressed, often being unable to eat. this unhealthy behaviour caused him to be much smaller of build than most children his age, and he withdrew from school as he could not keep up with the work. When he was 10, Rost Smith, the huntsman who had been with his parents when they died, approached his aunt about training Kalte to become a hunter, believing from his own observations that the skills and training would prove beneficial, and hoping to bring him out of his shell. With his aunt agreeing (somewhat reluctantly) Rost began to mentor him. starting with studies on dust and aura manipulation, and eventually going into basic firearms training not long before he entered Signal Academy where Rost was a teacher. During his time at Signal, Kalte had his aura unlocked and quickly mastered his semblances ability to generate ice, combining it with dust to become a surprisingly strong combatant, though suffering in combat against human opponents due to his nervousness over direct conflict. During his final years as a student as Signal, he was introduced to the twins Rost and Lila, the children of his mentors former teammate Grey Waldgrun, who quickly asserted themselves as his closest (and only) friends, ignoring his attempts to avoid contact and slowly causing him to open up. Personality: Extremely introverted and docile, Kalte will typically only speak up in defense of his best friends. In general, he tends to allow others do the talking, however his early training under a proficient huntsman has given him the tools needed to be an effective leader in spite of this. With an affinity for team thinking and pure force combat style standing contrast to his normally passive nature. When in private or around his friends he tends to be a bit more confident and outspoken, however he is still easily embarrassed and some individuals have taken to teasing him about it. Likes: cold, sweet food Dislikes: heat, social situations 4) Trivia: Notable relationships: Lila and Rost Waldgrun-Ectaris: Better known as the twins, they are his closest friends and teammates Rost Smith: former mentor. took the role of Kalte’s father figure after the death of his parents Notes: a) Weapons Short Description: pair of armored gauntlets, left gauntlet carries wind dust and right carries ice Name: Blizzard Wielder: Kalte Blau Maker/Smith: Type: Dust Augmenting Dual Gauntlets (DADG) Holstered/Inactive Form: same as in use Form 1:a pair of lightly armored gauntlets, each is equipped with an interchangeable dust magazine and tubing to dispense dust at the fingertips, as well as a small rechargabke canister that dispenses Dust Capacity: wind dust in left gauntlet, ice dust in right, small canister of cyan shield dust on each Usage: primarily used for pure force elemental attacks, however he is also able to generate more concentrated attacks and perform advanced spell-like techniques Planned/Possible Upgrades: undecided, possible a close-combat form Notes: pretty standard mage weapon b) Semblance Name: Shiver User: Kalte Blau Short Description: shields the user from extreme temperaturs Visual Effect: aura changes from arctic blue to pale red depending on the temperature of the environment Type: conversion Purpose: Utility Range: short Other limitations: none Passive ability(1): shields the user from extreme temperatures by absorbing or releasing heat as needed Passive ability(2): outsie of user body feels extremely cld as a result of thermal regulation Notes: none c) Combat Info Class/Position: controller/striker (mage) Landing: Strategy: burst of wind from dust in his gauntlet Fighting Style: very heavily reliant on range, Kalte uses dust based magic and projectile aura techniques to fight, his small build puts him at a severe disadvantage in close combat so he prefers to avoid being within 10 feet of the enemy, though he is able to create shields from aura and cyan dust in a pinch. d) Statistics Strength: 1 Agility: 1 Aura reserve: 3 Aura manipulation:3 Dust Manipulation: 2 Dust use: 2 Weapon Skill (Primary): 0 Weapon Skill (General): 0 [/hider] [hider=Rufus Tenne] Rufus Tenné · Basic info: · ◾Name: Rufus Tenné · ◾Team/occupation: Team BTRW · ◾Species: Tiger Faunus · ◾Age: 17 · ◾Sex: Male · ◾Handedness: Ambidextrous · ◾Aura/Effects: Dark Yellow Glow · ◾Symbol: Tiger's paw print, dark red on gold background · ◾Physical traits: Tiger's tail (orange with black stripes), Tanned Skin, Tattoo of symbol over left pectoral · ◾Misc traits: Night vision, enhanced balance because of tail · ◾Nickname(s): Little Tiger (parents) · 2) Appearance: · ◾Height: 6'3" · ◾Weight: Average-Heavy · ◾Eyes: Dark brown · ◾Face: Square jaw, strong straight nose, Classically handsome · ◾Hair: Red, shoulder length.

Black sneakers · 3) Characteristics: · ◾Personality: Cocky, arrogant and self assured. Rufus is boastful and attention grabbing (and seeking). He doesn't consciously think it, but subconsciously believes himself to be unkillable. · He wants to be someone people can look up to and a hero for the entire world, often helping others but going at it with the wrong attitude. · ◾Background: Born late to his parents, Rufus was the long-desired only child. He grew up in Vacuo, away from large communities of humans and so was never subjected to the same discrimination other Faunus were. His parents did everything they could to shield him from the hate others could have for their kind, and always told him that he was important, the strongest and could do whatever he wanted when he grew up. They lavished him with praise and affection, spoiling him quite rotten as a child. Other members of their community exacerbated his cockiness and arrogance by making him the role model for other children in his age group to strive towards. He decided to become a hunter to continue being a role model for people - only on a larger scale than just his small community. · 4) Combat info: · ◾Position/Class: · ◾Landing strategy: Dig his weapons into whatever surrounds him to slow his descent. If nothing is around to grab, he'll try to attract flying Grimm to grab onto and slow his landing with his Semblance.

Each finger extends past the tip of Rufus's finger by an inch, sharpened on both sides to make a small, thin blade. The thumb is a separate piece that doesn't shift and is the same length as Rufus's thumb and has a sharp tip but no blades on the sides. The back of the hand is covered by a plate that connects onto another piece designed to protect the wrist from blows. The parts are connected to a pair of full-fingered black gloves. There is no armour plating on the inside of the hand. · ◾Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: Each of the four fingers telescope backwards towards the knuckles, sitting over the first parts of Rufus's fingers similar to fingerless gloves.

General limitations: Can't control the type of attention he grabs; He will draw angry attention from someone frustrated, joyful attention from someone happy, murderous intention from someone murderous, etc. Visual effect: His aura flares Active ability(s) (if any): Grimm will focus on attacking him instead of those surrounding him, and in large groups it can overwhelm him. It can distract his teammates if they're close enough when he activates his aura. Radius is twenty metres at the moment; further practise will increase the radius and the ability to differentiate between Grimm attention and human/Faunus attention. · ◾Fighting style: He charges in first, despite whatever plans his teammates may have made, flexing his aura almost subconsciously to draw the enemy to him. His attacks are fast-past swipes and grabs, throwing his enemies around and into objects in his surrounding or even each other. · 5) Trivia: · ◾Relationships: He loves his parents dearly, but often ignores their concerns in his self-assuredness. He can be dismissive of them at times, taking for granted that they will always be there for him. He can turn people away with his cockiness and arrogance, and annoys his teammates. · ◾Notes: In terms of being a role model, he tries to do what is right for others and they often are grateful to him but don't particularly like him because of his arrogant attitude.
