RWBY-Beacon's Light --- [b]Name/Nickname[/b]: Isaac Frances Markeel [b]Race[/b]: Human [b]Gender[/b]: Male [b]Age[/b]: 17 [b]Weapons/Equipment/Armour[/b]: [i][u]The Markeel type 4 Projectile manipulation unit: WALTER[/u][/i] WALTER references a unique part of Isaac’s kit, and is the main part for his dominating successes in the registration exams: as well as the two most recent Under 18 Regional Tournaments for duels and combat. WALTER is best described as a set of metal strings that is unique to Issac and useful only due to his Semblance. These metal strings are left dull most of the time, and are used to manipulate and control whatever it is that they attach to, generally Isaac’s secondary weapon: a set of ten electronic bayonets. The WALTER unit is worn as a pair of gloves, with each of the metal strings being connected to a digit. [u][i]The Markeel Type 8 Electrified stun-knives: The Jupiter Bayonets[/i][/u] These stun-knives are razor edged daggers infused with blue dust in order to electrify the edges of the weapons in order to create deadly combinations of slicing action and stunning shocks. A single slice of the Jupiter Bayonets is known to leave a Beowulf’s limb numbed for up to a dozen minutes. Aura shields generally diminish the results of a slice to nothing more than a dull electric pain. Isaac carries ten of these daggers [b]Semblance[/b]: Kinetic Manipulation- Isaac is known for his ungodly control of the WALTER unit in order to skilfully outmanoeuvre and trap his opponents in a web of unavoidable Jupiter slashes. The source of his control comes from the his Semblance, which allows Isaac to manipulate the movement of any inanimate object he is in physical contact with. The ability is theorised to be able to manipulate the trajectory and speed of anything from bullets to buildings. The ability cannot be used on organic beings of any sort, and whilst the theory is strongly suggestive of manipulating objects other than the WALTER unit, Isaac remains a relative novice in the intricacies of the ability: only able to manipulate already moving objects connected to his hands. [b]Hobbies[/b]: Isaac has, since the age of 7, been trained to an almost religious fervor under his father’s total control. He rarely has times for anything outside of his elite training regimen and his studies. During the limited downtime he has, he can be found listening to music and possibly reading. [b]Bio[/b]: Little is known about either Isaac or the Markeel family. Facts are surrounded by hearsay and rumour, and people often dismiss the truth entirely as rumours designed to besmirch the honour of an otherwise elite family. Isaac himself seemed to pop into the public’s view at the age of ten: when he first was entered into an elite academy for gifted pupils. He excelled in the system of rigorous training, combat readiness and Hunter theory, and was hailed as a prodigy. The Patriarch of the Markeel family is even more mysterious than the son: The man is a recluse who runs the Markeel military conglomerate: a group of renowned weapons manufacturers and military contractors. It is unknown who sired Isaac with the Markeel’s family head. Isaac entered his first Regional Hunter tournament at the age of fourteen. No one knew what the boy could really do, except that he was supposedly a hotshot from the Private Hunter academy. As such, many people underestimate the boy and expected him out by the third round. He won the entire event: thrashing students four years his senior. This domination at school and in Regional tournaments continued for another 2 years running until he reached the age to apply to Beacon. He could very easily have circumvented the entrance combat exam: but his father wrote a letter to Beacon’s former headmaster- asking for his son to be given a chance to test himself against other recruits. He met against a Faunus in the exam, and obliterated the poor individual in a single, devastating and well-orchestrated blow that left the Faunus hospitalised Personality: Isaac is a charismatic individual at times, and a calculating and manipulative character at others. He is blunt as a tack and sharp as a knife: with little patience for people unproven or unworthy. He takes a long time to warm to strangers, and seems only to make friends when it benefits both him and whatever machinations he has brewing at the time. Despite this cold appearance, Isaac is more than capable of acting friendly, should the ruse benefit him in some way. He attempts to surround himself with people, and uses his charm to make friends with those he thinks are more than useless. Isaac is a known racist: and has been shown unafraid to let his views of the Faunus be publically known. The young Hunter-to-be would rather see Faunus subjugated and accuses them of being soulless: the difference between Isaac and most other racists is his ability to stand up for his claims. There is zero chance he would befriend a Faunus willingly. He doesn’t take kindly to Faunus sympathisers, naming them ‘tainted.’ Isaac has been shown to be particularly interested in people who he deems ‘socially useful.’ This could be anything from the strong to the wealthy: and he is far more inclined to make his interests in friendship known to these people. [b]Appearance[/b]: Short and lean, Isaac could easily be mistaken as a push over at first glance. He doesn't appear as physically intimidating as many, standing at a mere 5 foot 10 inches. He normally wears loose clothing which hides his otherwise muscular form. Isaac has cropped black hair and blue eyes, and does really have any distinguishing scars, spots or blemishes. All in all, he looks remarkably average in normal clothing. When he is prepared for combat, Isaac favors a more offensive attire: donning a more form fitting shirt and movable trousers: as well as his trusty WALTER unit gloves. He is never seen without at least two of the Jupiter Bayonets designed by his father. The main unique feature about Isaac's appearance is a near-religious dedication to wearing his headphones: specifically a pair of over-ear headphones. These headphones are faded from use, and are either over his ears or around his neck: even whilst sleeping.
