Well if spots are indeed open, here's a cs. If not then I guess I can take it elsewhere~. [b]Name:[/b] Shade Dennin (Name can be changed to fit teams) [b]Species:[/b] Human [b]Sex:[/b] Male [Img]http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m546/SlashinZangoose/b14_zps959530fa.jpg[/img] [b]Symbol:[/b] [url=http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/rwby/images/4/44/BigGear.JPG/revision/latest?cb=20130914190428]This[/url] [b]Personality:[/b] Shade is very quiet and reserved, choosing to not interact with people through speech much. Though Shade comes off as shy and skittish, he does follow orders exceptionally well, no matter who issues them, as long as the request is reasonable and does not conflict with any rules he has to abide. He has a very strong interest in machines and Dust, usually the only two things he will ever willingly discuss with anyone. [b]History:[/b] Shade comes from a small family of three: His mother, father, and him. Shade had always been quiet and polite from the first moments of his life, rarely causing trouble and never speaking out of turn. His father, a member of the Atlesian Military, helped to shape Shade's quiet and obedient attitude through his involvement in the military, acting hard on his son to make sure he developed in to a respectful and disciplined young man. In contrast, Shade's mother was very easy on his son, schooling him herself. She was very patient when it came to school work, never needing to ever push Shade, as he learned quickly and took a special interest in learning the mechanics of robots in every day life as well as the military, as well as the history of Dust and it's many uses. At around age ten he was able to successfully combine Dust and fabric, a favorite pair of leather gloves that he usually wore around, imbuing them with the properties of Fire. He soon learned he had a knack for fighting, his father deciding that the gloves his son had made would prove to be an interesting weapon in combat. Through his experience in the military, Shade's father was able to teach his son some basics of combat. As Shade was able to learn so quickly, his parents decided that he would make a talented Hunter. With Shade's approval, his parents enrolled him in Signal Academy. While at Signal, he began to build his own machines, letting his interest in robotics shape for himself. He was able to easily craft machines out of crude materials that he would find around campus. Soon he decided that using these in combat would provide a distinct advantage for him as he squared off against larger opponents who would no doubt overpower him. Soon his passion for machines had spread throughout the school, gaining him unwanted popularity as he graduated from Signal to Beacon, bringing all of his fame and machines with him. [b]Weapons:[/b] Fire Gloves - A pair of leather gloves that he can ignite by striking his fists together. The Dust inside of them allows the leather to burn forever as long as the Dust is present. Not only do the ignited gloves give his fists extra punch, but he can also fling exploding fire balls from the gloves as an effective projectile. Robots - Shade has a plethora of small robots at his disposal that each have varying uses, such as firing ammunition, tracking movements from afar, and even latching on to targets and exploding. Shade can only fit three of these small robots in his jacket at a time, allowing him to have a versatile fighting style. [b]Semblance:[/b] Robot Manipulation - Shade is able to easily create his own robots using a very minimal amount of materials, as well as analyzing other robots at a glance to find uses, strengths, and weaknesses. He can also control his own robots through his Semblance, eliminating the need to program them.
