(Note-for simplicity sake, just assume the fog does damage to oppenents aura,then flesh at a slower rate. Same deal for Grimm but their all flesh so...yeah Weapon: The Bone Sifters - A sword and a sickle with a chain attached that is capable of transforming ino a pistol-when thrown the sickle is able to reach about 15m [hider=The Blade] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/c3/73/03/c37303370895ac243c87dd9a04b594b5.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=The Hook] [img]http://k39.kn3.net/taringa/1/5/0/0/6/1/Fang27rk/3FF.png[/img] [/hider] Personality: Basil is naturally a bitter person due to his past, fortunately he also has a keen mind that has helped him survive for years without much help. He has had a recently growing greed due to his success in the criminal underworld of Vale however and his developed a taste for the finer things in life despite his rather poor upbringing. Despite the fact he is faunus, Basil is not particularly bothered by the high tension between the humans and faunus, mainly because he wears his mask at almost all times so very few people question his race and his mindset that "somebody needs to take the fall". Bio: Basil was born in a small town north of Vale, he was raised by his father, Vert Plagas, and his mother, Violet Plagas. His father taught him everything he knew about medicine and semblances. By the time he was 14 he took over his father's work as the town's only doctor. A few weeks after Basil took over his father's work the village was attacked by a roaming group of beowolves. They destroyed everything, very few of the townsfolk knew how to fight effectively and were slaughtered. Basil's mother was killed quickly, however the beowolves slashed at his father's thigh before a lone hunter brought it down. Basil thanked the huntsman and quickly checked on his father, however he realized he was bleeding out. With no medicine or bandages to help him Basil was forced to watch as his father bled out. Thrown into complete shock by the events that occurred, Basil simply left his old home without a word. This also caused a huge personality change in Basil, he no longer wanted to help people. Where had helping people got him up to then? Eventually Basil made his way to the main city of Vale after spending weeks travelling from town to town. Having little luck finding any jobs due to his race or his bitter attitude , he turned to crime. At first he only committed petty theft to gather enough food to survive, however gradually he began to realize his skills in medicine and chemistry could be put to less legitimate uses. Donning a plague doctor mask to hide his face and to allow him to safely work with his substances, eventually his work and success attracted the attention of local crime-lords who offered him additional protection along with a larger area of influence. While Basil used the goons more as guards, he also used them as sparring partners so he could refine his own fighting technique in the event his guards were eliminated. Eventually Basil began to complete more hands on tasks in his organisation, robbing stores and demanding money from people who could not afford to pay for Basil's narcotics anymore, this lead to the faunus gaining a hefty bounty on his head and Vale, although it is yet to be claimed by anyone. After the attack on Mistral by the Grimm and a call to arms to Beacon Fort, Basil decided it was time to exact his revenge on the Grimm. The faunus allowed his goons to protect his underworld monopoly while he was away, but told them they would pay with their lives if they allowed it to crumble. Now Basil made his way to Beacon Fort, hoping the authorities would swallow their pride for a time and that the do-gooders who had heard of him would not jump on him to collect his bounty.

[/hider] [/hider] [/quote] I'm not quite sure the whole crime boss thing would go well for him if he decided to waltz into a military base. If he is that well known, he might just be recognized by some faunus.

Weapon: [hider=Weapon Image] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/f2/e2/55/f2e255edd0aa5ef04db82970ab94f32a.jpg[/img] [/hider] Riesen Messer- The giant's knife is rather underwhelming normally, three feet and only a foot thick. However this piece of steel hide's a few tricks. Able increase and decrease it's length it can go all the way to ten feet, earning it's name as the giant's knife. It's second form is one even more impressive, the weaver is able to use spools of thread to move and tie up targets. Controlling these threads while requires highly skilled artisan. They can be used to move, create trip wires, and other such traps. Personality: Defiant, Bran shatters expectations few would expect a poor boy to have such skill and be so well learned. He refuse's to accept things as they are and strives constantly to change things as a strong supporter of Faunus-Human relations. While coming from a poor and humble family, you wouldn't know it Bran carries himself to a high standard. Few we would dare call Bran stuck up, he is kind and decent but can also rub elbows with the upper crust as his talent as a tailor means he understands much of upper society while living in the lower end. However Bran is stubborn and jumps at a chance to fight having little patience often tends to jump the gun even more so when someone he cares about is involved. Bio: Born and raised in outskirts Mistral his father was a tailor and his mother ran the local inn. His mother a Deer Faunus, all of his sisters were born with attributes making them resemble their mother more than their father. Bran was born human like his father and quickly took up the same business as his father. With swift nimble fingers he was sewing by age five, by ten his father let him do repairs and make most of the simpler garments. However, eventually the war came even to his family's inn human soldiers stormed the settlement, only thirteen he had no clue what to do. His father ordered him and his sisters to flee carrying his baby sister the four siblings set off into the woods. It was weeks before they were found a small band of Faunus warriors who had come to aid survivors, there were none to be found. Bran found his father's corpse, he had been bond and executed for falling in love with a Faunus. His mother missing spelled a fate worse than death, she had been taken to the work camps. Bran cried out in anger, pain, and rage he hated this war. He hated humans who had started it, he would make them pay. He awoke his semblance, as one screaming child became seven the others watched while before they had been wary to accept a human boy even of mixed blood. They now eagerly saw him as powerful weapon to use in their fight, in time his sisters would too awaken there semblances. However in Mistral Bran Brass was the face of Faunus fighting outside of White Fang. He was a human who believe in his parents dream that humans and faunus could live together in peace. With that in mind he has come Beacon to sign on and put his talents to use fighting alongside humans he once tried to kill. [/hider] [/quote] Accepted. Feel free to add Bran to the Character Tab.

She is quite strong for her age, having been raised in the ways of old nobility that included combat training. She weighs about 63 kilos. Her most prominent faunus feature are the two swan wings on her back that have the span of about 200 cm. Mikoto’s face is dominated by her piercing, bright red eyes. She has an eastern complexion, the slightly yellow skin tone contrasting with her anthracite hair that she usually keeps at shoulder length and well kempt. Her body build is focused more on strength rather than stamina, packing up quite some muscle mass and low fat percentage. Her battledress consists of a pair of knee high, gray platform boots, black pants and blouse and a gray armored jacket. Coming from rich background, her battledress is trimmed in dark red and gold. She wears red padded gloves to battle. The jacket is modified to allow her wings to unfold and they can be held concealed by a special harness. The jacket comes equipped with magnetic holsters on the lower back for her weapons and several pockets. When in need of more formal wear, she likes a [url=http://nohiki.deviantart.com/art/Schwarz-Alternate-costume-489580788]red trench coat[/url] with matching high heels. She modified it to be able to conceal her wings and weapons underneath without looking out of place. When it is absolutely necessary for her to wear a dress, she goes with white color and exposed back to complement and fit her wings. [color=#b22222][b]History:[/b][/color] Mikoto was born into a family of former aristocrats, her family lineage directly tracing to one of Vale’s former kings. Her branch of the family adapted to the changing situation of the world and rather than ruling through politics, Mikoto’s forefathers invested in industry and wealth as a source of influence. And when there is a war going on, there is only really a few branches that yield profit. Fortunately, Mikoto’s grandfather was a kinder soul and rather than investing into munitions production, he realized that the armies will still need to be fed. As such, Mikoto found herself as the only heir to one of Remnant’s largest food plants. She has grown up unharmed by the terrors of war, safe in her family castle on the outskirts of Vale. From an early age she fell in love with the old ways of the knights and the literary and mythological heroes from the era of the monarchies from before the Great War. Her parents gave her free reign over the direction of her life, but in turn expected her to be one of the best in whatever she set to do. Mikoto quickly fell in love with martial arts, a skill her father approved of given the unfavorable situation the faunus were in, despite the fact that the former aristocracy was above differentiating by race. [color=#b22222][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Having lived a somewhat sheltered life spent interacting mostly with servants, her own family and the occasional visiting members of similar standing in society, Mikoto doesn't actively seek out conversation but she will not shy away from one. The girl is patient and overlooking many things addressed to her faunus side, but she has her limits. Whereas normally she is well mannered and will go out of her way not to offend people no matter what she may think of them, if pushed too hard, she is dominated by her emotions, not her reason. While her anger is cold and calculated, you do not wish to enrage her, as if you push her that far, she will lose all sense and just go berserk on you. She hates those unlawful with a fiery passion, although people who would dismiss her based on her race rather than her abilities and close to the top of her list as well. Despite that, she is trying to be forgiving, believing the only way to achieve some degree of peace in the world is to stop craving revenge for this and that and just break the cycle. She can seem narcissistic and arrogant at times, treating others more like peasants than equals, although she is quick to correct herself when she sees someone worth her recognition, no matter their social status. She is still inspired by the heroic stories she grown up with, striving to be like the heroes of the myths. It can somehow make her seem like she was born to the wrong century. In her downtime, she likes to power down and relax, whether that means spending an entire day in a spa, stuffing herself with muffins and coffee or reading tales of ancient knights and kings with a glass of whiskey on hand. If others have to be involved, she wouldn’t say no to a good movie or a dance. Being an avian faunus comes with it’s own list of hatreds, like water (which make her wings heavy and useless) or cold (which she feels more due to her higher body temperature). For some reason, the taste of potatoes makes her want to hurl, much like the cheesy romance movies. She gets violent on trolls and hates criminals above all else for taking advantage of others in such hard times, putting them in the same bag as the creatures of grimm. [color=#b22222][b]Skills:[/b][/color] Mikoto was taught self defense and took liking to combat. Trained in a universal style, she can make use of nearly every weapon, although she prefers light, more nimble instruments like her sword or a dagger. Her technique focuses on precise, quick and powerful attacks while conserving energy in the meantime. Her style is rather aggressive and unpredictable, which is reflected in her choice of weaponry that allows for quick and powerful attacks and easy switching between melee and ranged forms. While her weapons might give the impression that Mikoto is a swordswoman, she is in fact a capable dust caster. While she only specializes in fire based spells, her brand of casting learned by studying ancient tomes and scrolls in her father’s library make her rather unpredictable. While she usually resorts to few moves that she practiced enough to cast with a mere thought, she can draw runic circles that allow her to cast fire in nigh any form. Life in the high class however lead to some duties. As an only child in a family owning a sizeable business, she learned to organize and manage finances as well as people. She is reasonably capable of making good tactical and strategic decisions, albeit in her age she lacks experience in leading. [color=#b22222][b]Powers:[/b][/color] Her faunus heritage gives Mikoto several capabilities she can use for great effect. First and foremost, she can use her wings to heighten and extend her jumps to about twice that of a human, or to glide and soften her fall. They are, however, too small for her to fly. The lack of tail used to be a problem, but she smartly modified her battledress with a half-cape that is attachable to her boots that can substitute well enough. Her bones are less dense than that of a usual human, contributing to her overall low weight, which unfortunately break more easily if her aura is brought down. Her metabolism is faster, making the girl quite a glutton and yet unable to gain any weight and moving her average body temperature to about 40°C. Having both large reserve and skill to wield it efficiently, Mikoto’s aura is on the more impressive side of the scale. Its color is white, and it manifests as quills falling around her. [i]Semblance[/i] - Stability - Mikoto’s semblance allows her to do several things. Above all else, it makes her athletic abilities very impressive. She is able to perform flips, leaps and dodges to the peak of natural human/faunus abilities. It also seems impossible to knock her down as she can recover from almost any fall and turn it into a move. This also improves her accuracy, especially with melee weapons. [color=#b22222][b]Equipment:[/b][/color] [i]Dust enhanced flamberge[/i] - [url=https://slm-assets2.secondlife.com/assets/2488811/view_large/swords_006.jpg?1289539033]Emperor[/url]: A flamberge sword with fire dust infused into the blade, giving it its defining color. The blade is slimmer than usual as Mikoto prefers thrusting attacks to slashes. Because of its enchant, it is made out of heat resistant material that is lighter than steel, allowing for greater tip control but decreasing the force behind cuts. [i]Dust enhanced dagger[/i] - [url=http://www.britishmuseum.org/collectionimages/AN00511/AN00511854_001_l.jpg]Regalia[/url]: A dagger with infused blade. Unlike the Emperor, Regalia’s blade is infused with dust that fuels its special enchant, allowing Mikoto to create and throw fiery spectral copies of the weapon. The weapon itself is useless in melee, being made more as an ornamental accessory than a useful blade.
