Speaking of lots of Faunus, might have accidentally made a little bit of a rascist? Woooooppsss... [hider=Aeta] [centre] [h3][i]"Justice. That's a pretty word."[/i][/h3] [b]Name:[/b] Aequitas "Aeta" Onyx [b]Age:[/b] 17 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/11/0a/2e/110a2e7a6857088afe263d009fe46f68.jpg[/img] With a measly height of five foot, two inches, paired with her innocent white hair, Aeta doesn't look exactly like she could split you from end to end. Don't be fooled, however, because that is precisely what she can do if given the opportunity to. It's almost an edge she has - her general lack of giving a shit and youngish looks make others believe that she isn't particularly capable of much. Also packs a pretty mean roundhouse-kick. [hider=Weapon] [b][u]Night's Paramour[/u][/b] [u]Weapon Derivation:[/u] Glaive, Sawblade-Glaive, Tri-Bow [u]Holstered/Sheathed Appearance:[/u] Contracts into a disc held on her belt [u]Form 1 - Glaive:[/u] Expanding from the disc form into a three-edged circular blade, this form is primarily used for melee to mid-ranged combat. The glaive isn't massively useful at close range but if there's some distance between it and the target, it can be devastating. [u]Form 2 - Sawblade-Glaive:[/u] The three edges retract slightly so the weapon is smaller and then begin to rotate rapidly around the core. This form should primarily be used in melee; it's also capable of being thrown but the bounce-back is unreliable so she pairs this with her semblance. This form is used to inflict massive damage but lacks the range and reliability of the other forms. [u]Form 3 - Tri-Bow:[/u] The three edges rotate by 90 degrees until they are extruding from the core before locking into place. Tight wire binds the tips of the three edges together, effectively forming a bow.

It's not an instant teleportation so it can still be stopped but it's incredibly fast and you would either have to slow down time or have the reflexes of a God to catch her. Seeker's Calling has two primary uses - ranged repositioning so she can get a vantage point to take advantage of her range and rapid bursting. Rapid bursting essentially involves her focusing on one locked-down or slow-moving enemy and making their life misery by throwing her glaive, blinking to its rebound position and throwing it again at quite an intensive speed. The dangers of Seeker's Calling is that it uses just as much stamina as if you were sprinting to these locations meaning that if she uses it to relocate, she will become a sitting duck until she has recovered enough to relocate. Rapid bursting is extremely dangerous as if her enemies aren't finished off by the time she has finished this rapid burst (around 5 seconds of massive, sustained damage) then she's dead; full stop. Blinking to a number of locations in such a small period of time simply flat-lines her agility and her damage meaning she is very close to the enemy with nothing to defend herself or escape. [/hider] [b]Strengths:[/b] Aeta has a nice mix between long and mid-range combat meaning that she's an absolute nightmare for enemies that can't move very well. She has a very high damage output and paired with her semblance, she is capable of moving around a battlefield with ease for a short period of time. Aeta may be tactical but she's bordering on fanatical in her approach to a fight. She will never give up unless her enemy is on the ground or she is but even then she'll get up, just to be knocked back down again. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] Night's Paramour isn't necessarily bad at close-range, it's just that Aeta is. She would do alright for a quick burst of combat but give her a sustained fight and it's over for her. She may be a nightmare to slow moving targets but she's just another fish in a very big ocean and basically anyone that can move as fast as her, she struggles against. Rapid burst is nigh on impossible with these people and they can typically get to her when she's stuck in one long-ranged position. Aeta is what you could describe as a stubborn idiot. It's probably her Atlas blood but although she's tactically smart, her approach to combat is downright awful and leads to a lot of injuries on her part. [b]Personality:[/b] Aeta isn't a bad person, she just has a very staunch belief that the old ideas of justice are dead. She believes that her enemies no longer fear justice and that's why they do what they do - they act without fear of reprisal. People are afraid of doing what they have to do so they pretend it's not there. Aeta is a realist and she very much realises that the White Fang must be treated like Grimm - unduly exterminated. But she's smart; she knows that society are too thoughtful to start wandering around, killing those they suspect to be part of the White Fang and to suggest such a thing would upset their liberalism. So she waits. On the surface, Aeta can appear nonchalantly bitter about certain topics, especially Faunus and the White Fang. She has reasons, of course, she just never really chooses to explain them or indeed uncover them for any reason whatsoever. The White Fang left her with nothing more than her wits and her weapon. They took the rest of her so she vowed that she would do the same - she would find their heart, the place they felt safe, and she would rip it to shreds. Sometimes, however, this violence can be extended towards the Faunus race in general. Aeta's a little misguided in her approach towards the White Fang but she's not an evil person, so to speak. She's incredibly loyal and if she deems you to be truly innocent and worthy of her, she'll lay down her life for you. She can be kind when she wants to be and when she is, she's a warm thing but those times are few and far between. She typically appears to be happy and seems to be quite intelligent but with Aeta, you never quite know if you're looking at the real her or a self-casted image. She does have a sense of honour and duty but over the years of turning against her military upbringing, it's become twisted and gnarled. Despite all of this, she's very aware that an evil has taken root inside of her and it's distorting who she is as a person. Maybe that's why she joined Haven? To sate that evil inside of her and escape what it truly wants her to be. [b]History:[/b] Life had never been difficult for Aeta - she was born into the affluent Onyx family that had a serious amount of power in Atlas. Known primarily for their high-up positions in the Schnee Dust Corporation, they were also known to be trained soldiers and had small responsibilities in the military. They were honourable to an extent but they were part of Schnee Dust's inner circle, meaning they lacked a certain regard for morality on occasions. They made a bucketload of money, however, so they could afford to train her up and send her to the best military prep-schools. Aeta flourished both on the battlefield and off it. She was a decent commander but her real speciality lay in the fact that she was miles ahead of her counterparts in school - her ability to fight outmatched theirs easily. She would have been processed through the Military Academy with flying colours and family friends even predicted she would have a place as a Specialist in the military but things went ass-up, as they usually do. Her parents just didn't come home from work one day. Then the next. And then the day after that until eventually, a military official arrived to tell her they had been killed. Details were grainy but the bits she got pitted the blame, without doubt, on the White Fang separatist group. She grieved for a time - she was a young girl alone in the world but that fact was the poison that corrupted her entirely. With no one to turn to, her grief turned to anger and anger turned to rage until finally, she longed for nothing more than the death of those who had caused her such pain. The Schnee Dust Company were good to her - they paid for her tuition and looked after her but Aeta had become sick and tired of the military life. How could they define what was right and just? In what little fucked-up world did they live in where the promise of "justice" for her parents' murder made it all ok? Justice was a void term - her enemies didn't fear justice, otherwise, they wouldn't have done such a thing. So she turned away from her chance to join the Military Academy and instead, applied to join Haven Academy in Mistral. It wasn't easy but she got in. She never really knew why she chose Haven, why she chose to be a Huntress but she suspects it has something to do with the growing darkness inside of her.
