Name: Cassius Alexandros Svent

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Country of Origin: Mistral

Physique:
Stands at roughly 6ft, 190lbs, slender arms with slightly thicker thighs and hips, large feet with Lynx ears and a tail.

Race: Feline Faunas.

Team: Team Leader is CKAI. (Pronounced "Sky").

Personality: Cassius is distant in a social sense when he isn't putting on a fake smile, dancing to allure or provoke a reaction... And he hates that part of him. But it was the part of him that got results so he could even have a stable life. Cassius is quite insecure due to the reality he is pretty self made without any real guidance, and as such has a hard time putting faith in himself... Questioning if he really did the best he could. The distance he felt with his parents most of his life does not help this, but he does appreciate the help they have given him prepare for a life that would keep him safe.

Yet, without the facade, there is no smile. There is no joy. There is just a sad, mourning expression hidden in his eyes. Even in anger, he grieves in his ignorance of his lack of understanding emotions, or the notion of love and dependency... He fears all of it. Fears it would only make him weaker to compromise. He never really had friends to experience positivity, or anyone to love to have any type of meaningful, loving relationship. Quite paradoxically, as much as he might want a charming man, he feels unworthy. There is nothing for him there -- at least so he believes.

The front he puts on when he isn't entertaining is that of forensics, and wit. When placing himself behind him, he can be quite analytical, and have sarcasm that gives perspective, or just a way to make an ass out of someone. And when angered from when someone pushes his moody attitudes,he drops the timid nature briefly as he is prone to vulgar outburst. Going as far as to go for the jugular based on what he knows and perceives about someone. It is here he is cold as ice, and hot as fire; striking when the iron is hot. He can be quite Timid and Shy, but he tends to speak his mind.

Sometimes he can be unapologetically dismissive, Apathetic, Sassy, Snarky, and downright Condescending. Because of this, by extension does he not take anyone's crap and will come off as standoffish in nature; by extension will he try to come down on them if need be, so he can establish his metaphorical heel and where he stands if need be. When there isn't a case of this, he is very calm, and sometimes timid, it is pushing him you should be afraid of.

But when he isn't apathetic and not fully acting on self serving nature, he can be an extreme opposite; caring and compassionate. It is when he gets attached, he fears acting on it, and losing whatever is there. It is this reason he would prefer to remain distant. Else he could come off as paternal, caring... Qualities he fears having.

Yet with his semblance, he knows he very much can control who lives and who dies when circumstances play out. He has to play his hand; and as such can be cunning, and cruel. Even with his fear of attachment, he'd never truly leave his team to die if there is anything he can do.

In a fighting situation, he would very much prefer to end the altercation quickly, and with little effort as possible.

Another curious side is he has a weakness to things he perceives as "Cute".

In many ways, Cassius hates himself to the point where he would willingly try to deprive himself of social interaction if it does not benefit him, to that end... he is selfish to uphold being distant as he is allowed to be.

Likes:
- Cassius loves cute animals such as domestic cats, or well tamed dogs.
- He likes Honey Battered Chicken, Pizza, and Gyros; he is quite the picky eater.

- He likes fashion to a degree, even if he admits designing with his color in mind is very impractical due to the nature of it's range of complexity.

- In a Fight, he prefers to think smarter and not harder.
- Likes to Bake occasionally.
- Likes to Read books, typically fantasy.
- Quiet places, typically in isolation where he can just collect his thoughts.
- Being left alone; while he can warm up, it will not be easy to change his heart here.
- To one degree or another, Men around his age; but he'd be far too shy to admit that, and actively hates this side of him. Preferably those closer to his height with a toned form.

Dislikes:
- Being put on the spot.
- Being used by others. Any type of Vegetarian diet.
- Racial politics, and politics in general; he much rather not have to worry about any of that... Mostly because he is aware of no matter how many freedoms someone has, does not mean you can just change the hearts of others so easily.
- He does not like forced interaction.
- The idea of dating anyone.
- His own sexuality.

- Changing in front of others; despite any form of fitness, he is quite shy of his body.
- Being told to act a way that he otherwise would never act.
- Hypocrites.

Fears:
- The White Fang.
- People trying to get too familiar with him.
- Fighting for a pointless cause.
- Being wrong, and not having all the facts to make an informed decision.
- His indecisiveness.
- Attachment.
- The notion of loving.
- Dependency; both being depended on, and depending on someone.

Motivation: Simple, he wants to do something with his life where he does not have to sit in one place and achieve nothing. If he is going to waste him life to any capacity, he rather it be doing something he deems productive, or helpful -- or at the very least find value in himself in becoming a Huntsmen. At least then he would not feel like a waste of skin.

Brief Bio: As someone born in Mistral, not everything was kind to him, not people,not classmates, not his employers. He didn't really have much when living in the low class house. It wasn't discrimination that put him there, but the sins of the father, and actions of the mother. Both of his parents are Faunus, and Hunters. To him, a beautiful name didn't mean anything to him if he was neglected for his parent's busy lives... It didn't really matter if his mother came from a prestigious tribe that was known for their healing arts; it was her over exhausted nature that made Cassius distant from his family. To him, he had no value in his name. At least his father trained him to fight for himself. Sometimes his mother as well. He just wish he was not caught up from... having to run from the White Fang.

Working from low income, such as helping around with stocking in stores... He had a vain want to present himself as more than gutter trash; with what money he saved up, he bought nice clothing that fit his name sake, took up some form of dancing to show off... it made him feel disgusted with himself that he had to flaunt himself to get anywhere; to him it was perverse. He hated being a dancer that people favored, and he hated every moment people wanted more... He didn't feel appreciated past his physical form. It was this that tainted his perspective of Faunus and Humans equally.

It didn't help he saw many White Fang Riots on what little of the news he could see. His family somewhat at war with them as peacekeepers meant they had to avoid living in obviously nice, wealthy looking homes. It made him always fear for his life... And rightfully so. His family was a target, and by extension, he would be too, especially the more people made note of who he was. His training and specially made weapon came in handy in more than one occasion, with the hidden, heavy Arrows he always had stashed on him, he was a force to be reckoned with, especially if he could sense vitals... Through tweaks, he even had a grappling hook hidden in his Bowblade for the Bow form. This helped him get away from altercations. To have his own money... He needed this for when he couldn't depend on others.

With the White Fang in the shadows,he was getting afraid to go to Haven Academy... During the foggy morning, his parents packed Cassius belongings, and gave him a new Scroll. "Speak your last name to no one. Go to Vale. I've let the Headmaster know of the events going around your life. With results, he thinks you may be qualified. You will be safe in Vale, safer than you are here. This key belong to one of the nicer apartment complexes, you'll be living on the second floor. Speak to no one. And keep to yourself. For the next Four years you will be watched over by an old friend. In the next month, you will be starting your new Life getting the proper training of a Hunter. If danger strikes, you will have people at your side." This being said to him by his mother, she skulked with him in the shadows as they took an airship to Vale. He was told to be strong...

With the day drawing closer, he decided to bury his anxiety to the best of his abilities... But he knew he wasn't going to outright trust others, much less like them. He however knew his efforts may eventually pay off. But putting on a joyous Facade would be incredibly hard. "Effort is all I need... I can do this."

Semblance: The Hands of Life and Death: These Duel Aspects Consist of Light and Darkness. With Light, it is used to heal Humans and Punish Grimm. Where Darkness will do the opposite. In addition, he can see the pulses in the body of all living things, this helps makes up for his lacking eyesight, as well as lets him see physical weaknesses in the body, or at least vital areas to strike.

When in close range, he can coat his weapon in the dark element with a bit of concentration, he can also fire this said element out of his Bow, same for a bolt of healing light. When hands on, Cassius can place whatever energy on a desired target to either heal their wounds, or damage them. In some cases, he might absorb a slight portion of their energy for his own, he can however give his energy to someone else to directly empower them by sacrificing it to an ally.

Despite how versatile his semblance is, he isn't as well versed with it, and only starts with the basics of seeing pulses, healing others, and shooting dark blast.

Weaponry: Eclipse: His weapon is a curved blade that can be used with fluid motions to both deflect, and use as a proper blade, but when it unfolds into a bow, he mounts it on his left arm, practically able to use it as a bow, as well as a impromptu buckler shield. Because of the fact it does not use bullets, he has to have special, and durable arrows that can be used practically. Some of the Arrow heads are for different applications, he however is wary of using Dust, but does have some well concealed in some of his arrows.

Other: Cassius knows very little in terms of martial arts, and this helps him weave strikes with his arrows, but he prefers to avoid confrontation if there are others present. He uses his semblance to plan around the fight, or decide to take detours when alone, mostly to avoid wasting unnecessary energy, or just so he can preform a debilitating attack to incapacitate his enemy.

Despite his use of night vision, his eyesight is not that great without his glasses. However his semblance more than makes up for this weakness-- even if the range of the pulses he can see are a max of 15 - to 25 meters.

Tends to have mixes for himself in his supplies he will be keeping his room; surprisingly, all over the counter based items.

Name: Indigo Carnelian

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Country of Origin: Vacuo

Physique:
Indigo would consider himself of good physique, standing at a decent 5’7” (170cm) and roughly 142lbs (64.4kg). His complexion is tanned from growing up in the harsh desert sun, and he has an athletic build that he constantly wants to improve.

Race: Human

Team

Personality

At first glance, Indigo may seem a bit snide and cocky due to constantly keeping a smirk on his face, but you could think of it as his natural smile. He’s the type of person who does his best to look at the bright side of things, but instead of facing the world with an almost hopeful and energetic smile, he chooses to face it with what he believes is a confident disposition hardened by the desert. He hardly has any boundaries in terms of a conversation, feeling he has little to nothing to hide and he doesn’t mind going out of his way to be extroverted, but he does his best to respect other people’s boundaries when he realizes he may be causing discomfort. Granted, he has a bad habit of not choosing his words carefully which doesn’t help him appear any less rude or intimidating, but those who know him know to take these comments with a grain of salt as Indigo means the best.

In combat, Indigo switches tones to be a bit more rational and patient against his opponents, trying to get them to reveal a moment of weakness for him to exploit. While he prefers to stay far from his opponent due to the nature of his ranged weapon, he has no issue with trying to overpower and outsmart them if they get a bit too close for comfort. He values cooperation as a part of his gameplan, and does his best to point out his enemies potential flaws or tactics to his team. He also loves dust cartridges for the versatility they can provide, especially with the use of his sniper.

Likes: Indigo unsurprisingly likes hotter weather, preferring Summer heat over the frigid weather of Winter as it reminds him of home. He also prefers to be active, liking activities such as swimming, running, or simply working out. Other likes include music, competitions, cooking, and action games.

Dislikes
Indigo has a strong dislike for bandits or people who attempt to use another for their own personal gain, having dealt with double-crossers and the like back in Vacuo. He also hates people who try to lone wolf and do their own thing constantly, or people who constantly try to impose their own beliefs on others. To a lesser extent, Indigo also dislikes being forced to sit still.

Fears
Indigo has several fears, some more pressing than others. On a larger scale, Indigo has a fear of failure, not necessarily because he hates failing itself, but what failing can imply depending on the situation, and how bright sides can’t be achieved if he can’t make them happen. He’s also afraid of not being strong enough to defend himself or others. On a lesser scale, he also hates heights.

Motivation
Indigo’s main reason for wanting to become a Hunter is fairly straightforward, Grimm and bandits have been a constant threat and nuisance in Vacuo, and Indigo wants to be able to defend what he cares about. Long term, he wants to see Vacuo flourish like it used to in the distant past, and in order to reach that he believes he needs to become stronger to tame the lawless desert that Vacuo is.

Brief Bio

Indigo was born in a harsher side of Vacuo, being the youngest next to his older brother to a huntsman and huntress. To be brief, essentially his parents were part of a larger group of huntsman and huntresses hired to protect various nomadic transportations that would travel around Vacuo trading, evading bandits, providing supplies, etc, from the many dangers that Vacuo holds. They would also provide training lessons to those who could not reach areas close to Shade academy or training schools where the law was more, well, there. Though things never really went as planned. As Indigo grew, he saw friends disappear from raids, people starving from lack of resources before they arrived, or settlements in the sand destroyed from the Grimm.

Growing up in this environment, you learn fast what will and won’t get you killed, and Indigo was no different. Stay on the move, keep your guard up, strength can defuse a situation when words do nothing, don’t be afraid to fight, various lessons such as these all became reality at one point as he grew up with this nomadic group. And since he was constantly surrounded by trained huntsman who were willing to teach at each new stop, he could practice with new individuals while developing his own fighting style. So when he was old enough to attend an academy, everyone thought that maybe he’d go to Shade and stay in Vacuo. And while it was comforting to him, he thought he’d test his luck outside of his element and experience a world outside of sand, thus applying to Beacon instead. He promised he’d return to his family and friends once he graduated, and with their help, he was off to Vale.

Semblance

Dangerous Game: Dangerous Game is an activated semblance highly dependant on the user’s current aura level. As Indigo’s aura reserves come shockingly close to depleting, Dangerous Game is enhanced. Essentially, activating Dangerous Game on significant lower aura levels increases his reaction time and agility, allowing him to be significantly harder to hit the lower his aura is, as he would not only be faster than normal but also have the reaction time to keep up with his new speed. The drawback stems from how, if his aura isn’t low enough,his semblance is useless because he receives no benefits, as its usefulness is dependant on how close he is to having no aura at all.

Of course, even with these boosts, being able to activate it is also a telltale sign that his aura is significantly low and that he’s on the breaking point of his aura. By using Dangerous Game as a last resort, Indigo hopes that he’ll be able to turn the battle in his favor without getting hit back. And since he also has to activate it, if his aura is gone before he can even use it, then it also is useless to him.
If I had to put it to numbers, if his aura is above around 30% left, Dangerous Game doesn’t do anything.

Essentially the top one is what it looks like, the bottom one is how it changes forms.

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Country of Origin: Vale

Physique: Russell stands at an absolutely amazing height of 5’2, and weight sa total of 98Ib (which is about 44.4kg).

Race: Faunus (Cat)

Team: SRCT

Personality: Like a cat, Russell is endlessly curious in the world around him. Though timid at times, as well as generally being a shy Faunus, he always tries to think creatively and can come up with ideas that may (or may not) work. One surefire way to know that Russell is warming up to someone is that he’ll become a little more playful around them, and though trying to be friendly to those that he hasn’t met yet, he’ll stick around those that he does known a lot more than trying to meet new people. Russell is somewhat childlike in nature, and he can take negatives, either insults or bad interactions or viewings in general, very badly.

Likes: Of people, Russell is a fan of those that are friendly. Though he appreciates people attempting to help him out when he is going through rough times, he much more appreciates those people that know when they should back off and let him have some time to himself. Of items and the world, Russell enjoys greenery and the outdoors, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a fan of being indoors sometimes. He also very much enjoys cardboard boxes, and likes to see himself as adorable, just to keep himself happy.

Dislikes: As a Faunus, Russell is very much in dislike of racism against Faunus. From this, he is not just against Faunus racism but all kinds of racism, including racism against Humans. He is not a fan of people who try to put themselves above others in a negative way - criminals, dictators, even down to bullies.

Fears: Russell is afraid of insects, and terrified of spiders. Contrary to his heritage, Russell is also afraid of most small rodents, including mice and rats.

Motivation: Russell wishes to become a Huntsman as it feels that it gives him a freedom that he would not be able to have otherwise. Not just a freedom in that he can go where he pleases and have his own picking of jobs that he would stumble upon, and the freedom to be able to protect others, but also a freedom of safety and respect. Whilst the job itself is unsafe, Russell feels that being a Huntsman would allow others to look up to him and respect him for who he is and what he does, not look at him as a Faunus and an individual from Humans. He also feels that it would allow him to be personally safe, being able to learn how to protect himself and, in addition, protect others.

Brief Bio: Being born as a Faunus, it’s inevitable that Russell received some level of abuse in his life. Even Human children bullied the Faunus children, and so it was through most of early school that Russell was forced to endure the harassment that had been placed on him from his birth. This, however, gave him a purpose, gave him a view and a want to make things better between Humans and Faunus. It was very early in his life that he decided he wanted to be a Huntsman, to grow into a protector of those that were like him and suffering even worse than him.

At the same time, it was desperation. Russell wanted an out, wanted to get away from the horrors and the abuse as fast as he could. He trained as hard as he could because he wanted to be seen, wanted to be noticed and have the skills early to be able to get into Beacon Academy as fast as he could. Only when he was in Beacon, he decided, would he allow himself to slow down. His efforts, finally, were rewarded when he received a waiver; he could join Beacon Academy. An early invite to sanctuary.

Semblance: Fold - When in a position of extreme danger and potential death, Russell can turn his body completely lifeless, removing his control from it. It’s a final measure for survival, as by removing his control he removes it’s ability to project emotions and from looking alive, and in addition, Folding increases the durability of his body and can keep him alive even to physical damage taken whilst his aura is down.

There is a cost, however. The minor trouble is that it can take time for Russell to regain control of his body - whilst Folding, he is able to still able to have all of his senses apart from feeling any pain, but still needs to regain control over his body. Part of that, however, is the major flaw in Folding - when he regains control of his body again, he will instantly fall into major distress and extreme pain, as well as any additional pain that he received whilst using Fold (so, don’t drop him). Better pain for a while than living, though.

Motivation
Hunting appeals to Ash for three distinct reasons- firstly, it gives her an opportunity to protect the unprotected, to aid the helpless, to fight what others fear. Secondly, it allows her to enjoy constant combat. And lastly, it provides an excellent place to both build tools for and actually test them in the field. Half the fun of tinkering, after all, is actually using what you made.

Race: Human.
Team: SRTC

Personality: Carmine is a usually calm and aloof young man, acting more like a playboy heartthrob than a criminal mastermind. However, to his enemies, he becomes a cold, and often merciless, having no qualms in hurting them badly, or to take a life if necessary. He is much friendlier to people he does know

Carmine gets an enjoyment from fighting, getting a sort of pleasure out of it. Regardless of his carefree and devil-may-care attitude, Carmine holds family and loyalty to a high regard.

Brief Bio: Born to Candice and Carmichael Agostino, Carmine being the oldest of three children. Carmine is deeply loved by his father, whom say to be most like him in terms of intelligence, personality, and cunning. Initially, Carmine trained to be a huntsman, fully supported by his father, who didn’t want him involved in the business at first. But after an assassination attempt on his father, but dropped those plans when his dad was almost assassinated. This results in Carmine seeking revenge on the people who nearly murdered his father not once, but twice. The second attempt, the assailants tried to finish the job at the medical facility he was being treated in.

After taking care of the would be killers, Carmine decides to become an enforcer for his father, as well as his replacement should he step down as boss.

Semblance: Bob and Weave- Carmine has the ability to go in and out at his opponents to either avoid attacks, or rush in to deliver a devastating blow in retaliation. It also allows him to have extreme agility, but at the cost of stamina, so it has to be used moderately. Using stamina increases his impact with melee, as well as pushing enemies in or out of the way of his team.

Weaponry: His main weapon is a Tommy Gun with a crowbar-like stock used for melee. The weapon’s name is Enforcer.
