Age of Aquarius

Name
Aquarius Teal Haifisch

Nickname/Alias
Aqua

Country of Origin
Vale

Age
17

Physique
Aqua stands at 5’6” tall, a fair enough height, and weighs around 134 pounds. She is well-built and muscular, with a toned figure. Aqua has long cyan hair, as her namesake would suggest, as well as similarly teal eyes. Her skin is incredibly pale, taking on an almost white color. With an hourglass figure and a head-turning set of...I’ll stop now, she could certainly be considered a looker.

For Aqua, combat attire and casual attire are synonymous. Anything that suits both is good enough for her. She prefers clothing that is not overly feminine, and holds dresses and uniforms in disdain.

Aqua’s Faunus trait is difficult to see, and only the observant will notice the 6 black slits along her neck, three on each side. These are gills, which do allow her to breathe underwater. No dorsal fin or anything particularly observable or eye-catching causes most to believe she is human.

Race
Shark Faunus

Team
(Leave blank atm)

Motivation
A variety of reasons motivated Aqua for the job. Firstly, as an energetic person, Aqua naturally finds hunting as the best occupation for the rest of her life. Desk jobs would be impossibly boring in her eyes.

Secondly, Aqua naturally desires to help people, but not constrained by military rules. Hunting fits the bill.

Personality
Aqua is a fun-loving, wild girl, a free spirit bound by no man. Dauntless and confident, Aqua is not one to back away from a challenge. When it comes to a fight, Aqua would be the first to sign her name up. If it’s a game of chess you seek, Aqua already has the board ready. Food fight? Aqua would start throwing as soon as she got her hands on the food. Midnight venture to kill Grimm? She thought you’d never ask.

Aqua is naturally energetic and peppy; being bored doesn’t suit her. She’s cheerful as well, optimistic as can be, and is rarely seen with a frown- this facial expression only comes out when something with serious gravity occurs.

For those who have never seen Faunus before and only the news, Aqua might seem like the poster girl for the race. She’s a troublesome and loud-mouthed girl, a magnet for trouble, with the police and guards constantly alerted of her presence. She’s playful as can be and mildly flirtatious, She’s a prankster and maybe a little bit of a thief. Despite this, Aqua knows where the line is. She despises the White Fang for what they do and wishes she could get an opportunity to stop them. She is proud to be a Faunus and will gladly mention it in conversation.

Brief Bio
Aqua was born to two different individuals with incredibly varying paths in life. The first was Gemini Celsior, Aqua’s mother from the Celsior family of Huntsman and Huntresses. Gemini was put under rigorous training from youth, and in order to make sure her children were healthy for Hunting, was expected to marry another Huntsman and give birth to a child that would be a Huntsman. Thus, it was likely that her partner would be from Beacon Academy, the school she would attend.

The other was Brandon Haifisch, a Fish faunus from Menagerie who left the island(s?) to prove the world that Faunus were as capable as humans. Their meeting at Beacon was love at first sight, and the two were part of the same team. They married after their time at the Academy and had Aqua as a child. However, due to racial tension, the couple was shunned by society - both humans, who thought a Human should never breed with a Faunus, and the White Fang, who thought a Faunus should never breed with a Human. A mass riot on the family left Brandon dead.

Aqua was raised by her mom alone, who told her stories about being a Huntress and her father. Aqua was interested about following her mother’s footsteps, and the family having moved to Patch following Brandon’s death, soon attended Signal Academy, before afterwards moving on to Beacon Academy.

Semblance
Aqua’s semblance is called Sensitivity, and it is a unique semblance at that

Passively, Aqua is incredibly detective. She has a lateral line, which is the ability to sense nearby motions and vibrations, although she can only do so when she’s paying attention. This passive ability also gives her incredible intuition and observation skills, and makes her somewhat of a lie detector.

When activated, Aqua gains a burst of adrenaline and incredibly increased reflexes, senses, and strength. This burst of adrenaline lasts 5-10 minutes, but isn’t like a Super Saiyan burst- she’s just going more than the average Huntsman.

Weaponry


Aqua’s weapon is called Deep Impact. A trident/mace, the weapon can fire amplify itself with Dust. As per most students on Patch, she built it herself.

Aurelia

Name
Aurelia Persinette

Country of Origin
Mistral

Age
17

Physique
A young woman whose height usually has her towering over most girls her age, she stands at five feet nine inches. Her limbs are long, giving her a willowy look, her skin on the paler side of the spectrum. Her features are refined, her curves leaving little impression on most (much to her dismay), her bust and waist modest. She lets her dirty blonde hair hang loosely around her most of the time, with bangs covering her forehead and a barrette picking some of it off her face. Her eyes are a cloudy gray and usually sharp. Her usual battle attire leans towards the simpler side. Her casual outfits vary, though they're guaranteed to be frilly and feminine. She tries to dress on the modest side, though her skirts end up coming out a little shorter than intended due to her height.

Race
Human

Team
---

Motivation
To explore the world and see all it has to offer.

Personality
A rather cool, reserved, and serious young woman. There are very few things that faze or get a reaction out of her, resulting in a rather emotionally repressed attitude. That isn't to say she doesn't feel, it simply takes a lot of effort to show it. She has a hard time understanding other people, although she does know how to sympathize. Her upbringing did include manners, although she takes it an extra step further by being unflinchingly polite, even to those who probably don't deserve it. She is rather pampered, used to the finer things in life, carrying a gracefulness about her that coupled with her coldness gives her the air of a snob. Knowing how people perceive her, she does wish to get closer to people, but doesn't know how. Her first year let her get familiar with people, though she hasn't exactly made any tight connections. She's determined to change things, promising herself to be more open, although getting out of her comfort zone is a challenge.

Despite it all, she feels like her true self on the battlefield. There's something about the thrill of it that makes her come alive. She retains her level-headedness, but becomes much more vocal and aggressive, her preferred style of a no-holds beat down considered rather ruthless. She is very capable of working on her own, her semblance enabling her to be self-sufficient, and her calm head lets her have a lot of situational awareness.

Brief Bio

The Short Part

Aurelia was born into a family of much wealth, and she was loved very dearly by them. She was spoiled beyond reason, showered with gifts nearly every day, her mother and father loving, and she was happy. She did remember, however, that one day, suddenly everything changed. The happy childhood became one of much fighting and arguments. Her family became distant, her mother and father moreso, and it killed her to see everyone act that way. She knew it was somehow her fault--she could never forget the way her family members would glare at her, throwing her nasty looks, how her father's loving look turned to one made of pure sadness, though no one ever bothered to tell her why. And so she got her own little shell and stayed in it for as long as she could. It was not until her mother died that the fighting stopped, but now she felt a deep, painful sadness instead. She did not understand why anything had happened, and as frustrating as it was, there was nothing she could do.
And so she just accepted it.
The so called ray of sunshine was that now her father was like the way he used to be--kind, loving, and slightly smothering, though she loved it. He was back to normal, but she could never go back to the way she was. He understood, gently pulling her out of her shell, having the patience of a saint when she hid. While this was equally as confusing, it was easier to adapt to. Her father raised her the best he could, though sometimes when he thought she wasn't looking, he would have an expression of regret, but she never got the courage to ask him what was wrong.
Years down the road, Aurelia discovered Dust, often looking towards the stores the same way most kids would look at candy stores. Her father got the hint and started practicing with her, showing her how to use it properly and warning her of the dangers. She then asked him what Dust was really used for, and he explained that Dust was what Hunters would use to fight off the Grim. She remembered perking up at the story, After much pleading, tears, and a very reluctant father's blessing, Aurelia enrolled into Sanctum Academy. Fighting was an alleviating experience. It was actually a little scary how free she felt in battle, but it was with pride that she found her calling as well as developed her own style. After much studying, many bruises, the discovery of weaponry and the delights of battle, she was accepted into Beacon, more then ready and willing to become a Huntress.

Persinette Family History--The Truth Behind Odette's Childhood

The family of Rampion were once well known in weapon manufacturing, only to fail when they were exposed to use Faunus slave labor. With their wealth quickly declining, they became desperate to keep their money. And so the family of Persinette came forward, offering them wealth, in exchange for closing down their company and to give their eldest daughter, a woman of astounding beauty by the name of Angelique, to the Persinette's eldest son, a young man with no ambition named Dominic, in marriage. The two were wed and locked into an unloving relationship, as Angelique resented being used by her family. Still, they were expected to continue the family line, and so Aurelia was born, and she was doted on by all.
That isn't to say she fixed their relationship, as Dominic grew suspicious as Aurelia got older. You see, both Angelique and Dominic were dark haired and dark eyed, and yet Aurelia had blonde hair with bright eyes. He refused to believe that Aurelia was his daughter, and the two families got into a feud that would become common gossip. Unfortunately, this extended to the young girl; what once was a cheerful, happy child became very enclosed and afraid of nearly everyone. She would often hide wherever she could and not speak to anyone for days, afraid of getting yelled at and blamed for something she couldn't control.
For many years this continued, and one day, Angelique grew very ill. On her deathbed, she begged Dominic to stop the fighting between the families, regretting that she let it continue for so long. It was here he asked if Aurelia was really his daughter, and he was heartbroken when she would not respond right away. She admitted to having an affair shortly after they were married. Still, she asked that he take care of Aurelia, as once she was dead no one would take care of her. Angelique died shortly after that, and despite a lingering anger, he made sure to try to go with her words. Despite her wishes, however, the two families shunned one another, and after Angelique's death, they never spoke or acknowledged one another ever again. While he failed at that, he made sure he wouldn't make the same mistake with Aurelia--even if she wasn't his blood, he admitted that she was the last person he truly loved.

Semblance
Efficiency
Aurelia is able to manipulate the way her body expends energy. If she need be, she can endure much longer in battle then most people. She can also use more energy than usual if the situation arises, resulting in a 'power boost' of sorts. She doesn't require as much nourishment or sleep, either, though when she does finally crash it takes a lot longer for her to recover. This also extends to her usage of other things such as Dust: she uses less Dust for her spells, and is able to fire off much more then the average person. It also works in the reverse, being able to power it up more than most people can.

Weaponry
Rampion
A seemingly straightforward staff that looks like something straight out of a story book. Its primary use is as a conductor for Dust, though it has two 'modes' in expelling it. The first comes out as normally casted spells, usually quick and in rapid succession. The second spins the top, forming a sort of cannon from which Dust expels in a much larger, stronger amount, though it takes more time for each burst. Its metals are also heavy and durable, making the staff practical for close distance fighting as well.

Regem Dewitt

Name
Regem Dewitt

Country of Origin
Menagerie

Age
17

Physique
Regem is short standing at only 5 foot and 4 and weighing a paltry 122 pounds. Lithe with wiry muscles, Regem is stronger and tougher than people give him credit for. He has very pale skin that never tans or darkens even hours in the sun, but he sunburns easily. His snow white hair is styled casually and on top of his head are a pair of white rabbit ears. He has golden eyes. His sense of style is flashy and fashionable as he wants to look presentable to the world.

Race
Faunus

Team
????

Motivation
Regem wants to make a world a safer place so people wouldn't lose their parents like he did as a kid.

Personality
Regem is a strong willed and driven young man who is determined to prevent any harm to all innocents especially of children and their parents. Due to his childhood he dislikes any form of death, even “Noble” or “Necessary” ones. His main motivation his is lost loved ones and his lost childhood. He sees the world in multitudes of grey, never believing that a person is born evil, he believes that most action made by a person is by choice so when he meets a willingly evil villain, he feels especially just to fight them and show them that justice always win.

Regem is selfless and loving to a fault, he’s very supportive of his friends and teammates. But outside of his driven and compassionate personality he is very friendly and sociable, and strangely enough although he has a strong personality he is surprisingly easy to hurt, getting depressed when others are sad or when they say something hurtful towards him as he takes everything to heart. He is very emotionally intelligent, able to understand emotions and reasons behind actions better than most due to both high empathy and his heightened sense helping him pick up people’s emotional cues.

He also has a more savage side to him when in battle, he fights using anything at his disposal and even fight dirty to win. He has been known to win most of his battles since many people didn’t expect him to fight the way he does, which catches them off guard and he uses that shock to his advantage. But he always feels bad after an especially brutal battle.

Brief Bio

Regem's life started out peacefully in Menagerie. Regem was born into a nice community village on the outskirts of habitability and the deserts. It was one of the richer communities on Menagerie maybe even outside of the country as it is a mining community of dust and other useful materials. Unlike Atlas' infamous Schnees The Dewitts were humane and spread the wealth around to the rest of Menagerie so while the family were comfortable and sometimes bought fancy stuff for themselves they were for the most part down to earth and likable.

But when Regem was young his parents died saving miners from a collapsing tunnel, Regem although happy the miners were saved was upset at his parent's death finding it pointless as it could've been avoided by what they learned later, the tunnel collapsed due to failure to notice a grimm in the mines until it was too late. It was at that day Regem decided to become a Huntsmen. He would train every day and eventually learned his semblance and use his inheritance to build a weapon and the dust from his family's mine to better improve it.

Since Menagerie doesn't having a hunting academy of its own Regem decided to go to Vale to become a huntsmen. He was accepted into Beacon academy. But his first biggest hurdle of his life is encountering humans for the first time in his life. As he has never encountered Humans in Menagerie and is feeling intimidated by it. But he will persist and become a Huntsmen!

Semblance

telekinesis

A very simple but useful Semblance, one that allows Regem to move objects of various mass with his mind the heaviest thing he lifted with his semblance is a cargo truck for a minute. But the heavier the object the more it uses up his Aura so he often uses it to manipulate smaller and lighter stuff I.E his Weapon as well as make himself levitate so he's harder to detect. His semblance is disrupted by defensive auras so if somebody doesn't want to be lifted by his semblance they can't but he can lifted up people who's auras are depleted or down.

Weaponry

Rabbit's Foot



It may seem like a regular Boomerang but it in fact powered by the dust inserted into the center of it. Depending on the dust inserted it has different powers and abilities.

Air Dust: The Rabbit's foot can generate powerful gales and tiny but strong tornado when thrown or swung

Fire Dust: The Rabbit's foot can generate flame tornado when thrown or fling fire when swung

Water Dust: The rabbit's foot creates miniature hurricanes when thrown

Lightning Dust: The Rabbit's foot most dangerous dust capabilities, it shoots powerful thunder bolts when swung and lightning storms when thrown.

Cinna Arelle

Name: Cinna Arelle

Kingdom of Origin: Mistral

Age: 17

Physique
Cinna stands at a modest 5'7" with very long, red hair. She is exceptionally fit as her tone physique and muscles will attest to. Her hair is often just like in her picture, with some kind of bow tied near the end. Cinna weighs nearly 135 pounds and is on the rather slim size. Style is not a huge factor in her clothing as he prefers her outfits simply to be comfortable and practical, especially those in which he fights in. Her only preference is pieces of clothing that either make her look cool or intimidating. While she had not been extremely gifted in her assets, she is perfectly content with what she has.

Race: Human

Team: None

Year: 1

Motivation
Cinna wants to lead a better life than one of crime and help others instead of harm them.

Personality
It was for a long time that Cinna had to look out for herself and only herself. That attitude has only begun to change, albeit very slowly. She has a natural distrust and dislike of people in places of authority and power, which often ends in her breaking some kind of rule. It is one of her core beliefs that only those with strength have the power to change anything, while the weak have to endure the strong's choices. She struggled for most her life forcing her to adopt a much more cynical view of the world. Despite being slow to trust others, she is very protective of those who earn that trust. When it comes to assignments, she is very mission oriented and seeks to finish quickly in the best manner possible. Her will to survive is incredibly strong and is willing to do anything to make sure she stays alive.

Brief Bio
Cinna was born in the poorer parts of Mistral, where criminal activity is at its highest. All she knows is that her parents abandoned her at a very young age before a group of criminals took her in. They cared for her when no one else would so naturally Cinna grew attached to them. When she grew old enough, they showed her how to pick-pocket and to steal when no one was looking. Soon enough, Cinna was falling quickly down the same path as her care-takers. What she has done is her secret to keep. One day she was sent out into the wilderness by her so-called family, something about an exchange, when a pack of grimm appeared and attack. No matter how fiercely she fought, there were too many for her. If it wasn't for the help of a huntsman, she would have died right there having never accomplished anything.

The huntsman took her into his home in Vale, away from the vile environment she had been living in. Cinna owes everything to her rescuer and made a promise to herself that she would change. The huntsman told her about beacon and becoming a huntress, someone who works to protect the world from the forces of grimm. Cinna had already determined that she wanted that kind of strength the moment he rescued her. A chance to change someone's life for the better just as he had done for her. She got admitted to beacon and she couldn't recall a happier or prouder moment in her life. The huntsman helped her make her weapon, Sovereign Right, before she left for Beacon.

Semblance
Kinetic Release
Cinna's body absorbs a portion of force of anything that strikes her, storing it for later release. She can use this stored energy for making her own strikes harder or release it in a large area attack that pushes back foes. Recently she has figured out how to send this energy directly through her legs, allowing her to increase her speed greatly in short bursts. The explosive nature of her semblance has forced her to stay very fit. The kinetic energy naturally fades with time and is only absorbed at her will.
Weaponry
Sovereign Right
A large lance fitted with small boosters for increased striking power, the front tip of the weapon retracts and fold away to reveal a mini-gun hidden within. Different canisters of dust can be stored in the weapon to affect the qualities of its projectiles. When not in combat, the weapon compacts into a much smaller design to make it easier to travel with.

Other
Cinna has a minor obsession with metal bracelets

[Shadow Daedalus]

Daedalus Atsali

Name:
Daedalus Atsali

Country of Origin:
Atlas

Age:
17

Physique:
Standing at 5ft 11in, what's left of his organic body is slim, pale and littered with surgical scars grafting the cybernetic parts into his organic ones. His arms, legs, right eye and spine up to the base of his skull are all replaced by enhanced cybernetics. Limbs are made from polished black metal alloys that are resistant to scratches and light damage.

Race:
Human, Cyborg

Team:
TBD

Motivation:
To protect Innocent people.

Personality:
Calm and Analytical, Daedalus prefers to apply logic before emotion. He has an effective control over his emotions, never showing them at a high level and not allowing them to affect his judgement. He has the same practical outlook for both positive and negative emotions, seeing Excitement and Passion as blinding and dangerous as Anger or Sadness. This also allows him to detach himself from his emotions and make complex moral decisions by quantifying the variables and using logic and practicality, such as killing one person to save 5 more. This detachment, however, can make him come across as cold and unfeeling, and as such hasn't afforded him many friends.

Despite this cold exterior, he is just a teenager force to grow up too soon. When in trusted company, which is limited to his mother and close friends only, he displays signs of high stress and depressive behaviour. He subconsciously refuses to let people in, which only leads to him suffering in times of need, yet he just quietly accepts this and tries to hide it until it becomes too much and he isolates himself to vent.

Brief Bio:
Orphaned at a very young age, Daedalus Anthrakas spent most of his early life raised in an orphanage in Atlas until he was adopted by a woman working at a company developing new weapons for the military, Asimi Atsali. She was an unmarried widow and a very loving mother, supportive and understanding when he expressed interest in becoming a Huntsman. He began to train using a pair of swords that doubled as high-powered pistols, but his life was derailed when he was 12. When returning home from a visit to Atlas Academy, the transport was attacked by the White Fang and crash-landed. Most of the passengers and crew died in the crash, and most of the survivors were left with life-threatening injuries. When Daedalus was finally recovered, his limbs were mangled, his spine fractures and his right eye was ruined by shrapnel.

His mother pleaded with the company and had the damaged parts of his body replaced by cybernetics, linked to processor chip within his cybernetic eye. Once he recovered, he began to train with his new body and its built-in weaponry to sharpen his combat abilities, but the company came under scrutiny due to immoral working practices so Asimi and Daedalus moved back to Asimi's old home in Vale. Not wanting to compromise his dream of becoming a Huntsman, she allowed him to enroll at Signal Academy and updated his cybernetics every 6 months to compensate for his growth. A graduate of Signal, he was accepted into Beacon without much of an issue.

Semblance:
His original semblance used a rotating electromagnetic field to create a magnetic shield around his body, but following the attack and his subsequent cybernetic replacements he was unable to expand the magnetic field outside of his torso. Instead, the electromagnetic field was passed through an internal generator inside his torso and used to charge his internal electrical supply via the Faraday Principle.

Disable Limiter - A Pseudo-semblance that sharply increases his speed, strength, agility and damage output for a limited time by allowing his cybernetics to operate at the maximum of their capabilities. This drains his power faster than his internal generator can produce it, so there is a short period of time directly after deactivating this semblance in which is vulnerable while his power recharges. There is also an automatic failsafe that deactivates this ability when power reserves get too low.

Weaponry:

Icarus - His cybernetic limbs contain a suite of in-built weapons in his arms and legs, separated into 3 modes: Blade Mode, Ranged Mode and Shield Mode, powered by passing electrical current through lenses made of Cyan (Barrier) Dust, or he can instead use that power to augment his unarmed strikes in Hand-to-Hand Mode. He also has an integrated Dust system built into them, which can augment his abilities with elemental effects as well as other effects. The dust is stored in a revolver-like mechanism in his bicep and lower leg areas, which can hold 5 types of dust each. The mechanisms are paired, so the dust must be the same on either side. His typical load-out is Fire, Lightning, Ice, Gravity and Earth.

Blade Mode

A fairly simple weapon in principle, a blade formed from hard-light on the outside of each forearm. Can be modified with elemental effects using Dust Excitation modules inside the blade projectors, but still retains its blade shape.

Ranged Mode

Repeating Hard-light guns, built into the top of the forearm. The output can be adjusted between high-impact and rapid fire. When dust is introduced into the weapon, it behaves differently depending on the element. Fire Dust produces a jet of flames similar to a flamethrower, Ice produces frozen bullets or a freezing cone of ice, lightning can produce Tesla-coil like arcs or charge up more powerful bolts of lightning, etc.

Shield Mode

A hard-light shield emitted from the top of the forearm, behind the guns, large enough to complete cover a fully grown adult. Lacks Dust Emitters, so gains no benefit from Dust usage.

Hand-to-hand Mode

Not often used, he can increase the speed and power of his unarmed strikes with the power normally used to power his weapons as well as further augment them with elemental Dust effects. He can also use them in a more utilitarian manner dependant on the application. This includes using Gravity to reduce the effect of a fall or Lightning to provide less lethal electrical current

Aeschel

Aeschel (King of Tragedy) Aspro (White)


Aeschel is a tall man and sticks out like a sore thumb in most instances, whether it be the long orange hair tied up in a short pony-tail and tickling the back of his neck, the white jacket over a tacky crimson shirt, the short red cloak thrown over his shoulder or the sandals; the only thing about his appearance that doesn't come off as mismatched is his plain blue jeans. Let it be known that Aeschel... Is not a fashionable person. He keeps his dusty brown satchel hanging off his other shoulder for the most part. Oh, and lets not forget the big, bushy orange tail that gets in everyone's way.

Country of Origin: Mistral

Age: 17

Physique:
Standing at 6'5 feet, he's not exactly the most muscular of Huntsman, but he does have a relatively healthy muscle build. Makes him good at running away- Strategically outrunning opponents int he opposite direction of danger.

Race:
Squirrel Faunus

Team
????

Motivation
In life, he's felt like a burden to those around him, someone who needs to be saved and rely on others. After being saved by a huntsman during a Grimm attack, he decided that, both to prove himself and give something back to the world he lives in, becoming a Huntsman was what was best. Also, while he'd hate to admit it, he's a bit of a tech nut and loves getting blown away by all the amazing weapons and tools various Hunters bring.

Personality:
Aeschel could be described as a man with a stick up his rear end. Lacking in confidence and easily panicked, Aeschel is not the most ideal Huntsman, he's not the type to take on a risky situation on his own and tends to be much too cautious when in the presence of a possible threat. However, he is a determined one, while he'll be afraid of taking on a threat, he will stand by others as long as he can see that confidence from them or hear some encouragement. He is very much a man who finds it easy to follow another's lead, even if he himself thinks their ideas are less than successful. As a team member, he'd most likely be the strategist or researcher, finding the best ways to avoid or stun a threat. THrowing caution to the wind is territory he dare not trespass on.

Surprisingly, considering that Aeschel grew up in what is known as the most racist of the Kingdomes, Aeschel doesn't feel that strongly either way about the current social environment for Faunus as a whole. THough he does have a high level of distaste for the likes of the White Fang, regarding them as blind terrorists.

Brief Bio:
Aeschel had a relatively normal upbringing. Well, normal for the planet infested with dark creatures of the night. He inherited his curiosity of technology from his parents, who made their living as engineers. Aeschel himself was originally planning to grow up to be just like them, no need to be a Huntsman and live his life in constant risk of death, but as he grew older so grew his admiration for Huntsman, who'd pass by his town every now and then for parts or a place to sleep; they were so intimidating and gruff, yet free and kind of cool.

This ran in contrast to Aeschel's semi-Inferiority complex, he grew up with a brother he was more than a little jealous of and made his fair share of mistakes in anything he tried. His failures built up with him each time, adding more weight on his mind and every so often having bad consequences. Once, in an attempt to outdo his brother, he managed to break his own arm when te device he tried to create exploded in his face. His admiration for Huntsman, as well as his overall need to do something productive and prove himself, lead him to enroll in a combat academy, hoping to one day earn himself a spot at Beacon.

Semblance:
Short-Ranged Inconsistent Teleportation - As it says on the tin, Aeschel, after a childhood prank left him trapped in a metal box for a few hours, found that his semblance allowed his body the ability to teleport a short distance. However, he has had a hard time developing this semblance, leading to the destination of said teleportation sometimes being hard to nail down. He can try to teleport a few steps in front of him, only to end up head first in the toilet of the room next door if his concentration and emotions aren't in check. Plus, the process of splitting your body up into such tiny particles that it can move freely past walls and such isn't easy on the body, it certainly drains stamina and can lead to exhaustion if used heavily in a small amount of time.

Weaponry:
Twin Babylon

His weapon is one of his own design, hoping to make himself more effective with a weapon that reflected both ranged and melee combat; though the ranged part is the one he relies on most. The Twin Babylon is a double-bladed sword that with a few pulls can transform into a bow, a bow that can be used to fire special dust tipped arrows at his foes, allowing him to use any type of dust as ammunition as long as he prepares it beforehand. When not in combat, this weapon can be folded up to mostly fit side-by-side in its hilt.

Name: Kobalt Zaffre

Country of Origin: Vale

Age: 17

Physique:
Height: 6'1.
Weight: 168 pounds.
Kobalt has an athletic physique, due to his role as a huntsman requiring physical prowess – and further increased by his speedy fighting style. However, his sight isn’t as good as your average person’s, thanks to his eyepatch.

Kobalt’s hat is a peaked hat, similar to what a captain would wear. He wears this for little reason – he just likes how it looks. He also wears several badges on his clothing - one of them is golden, and says 'Yes!' on it - the other is purple, and is somewhat triangular in shape.

Race: Human

Team: None, at the moment

Year: 1

Motivation: To grow further as a person and a fighter - and to do something worthwhile. Maybe even bring some good to the world, while he's at it.

Personality:
“You’re nothin’ if you don’t stand up for what you believe in.”

Kobalt is a dedicated, cool-headed young man with the utmost belief in his abilities – and an undying devotion for what he stands for.

The first thing someone may notice about Kobalt is his demeanour. One may describe him as cool-headed and sure of himself, though that isn’t to say he isn’t prone to showing emotion occasionally. He’ll crack jokes and go along with whatever mischief his friends may come up with. However, he can come off as a little sarcastic and even rude at times - intentionally or unintentionally.

Kobalt has quite a lot of faith in his skills, along with a competitive streak. This, combined with his stubborn attitude can lead to him getting into a fair bit of trouble. However, he’s not the type to boast, though he's certainly not against people singing his praises, as it shows he's clearly doing something right - and that matters, if he's going to achieve his goal of becoming the next Zaffre Successor.

Kobalt isn’t without his weaknesses, though. He can’t stand weak-willed people, who cower at the first sign of adversity – as Kobalt is a believer that challenge builds character and is what causes people to grow. Kobalt takes even more issue with people giving up on their dreams just because of a few complications that may come their way. Kobalt doesn’t like faking things just to make people happy, and instead believes in letting people know the truth. Due to this, he’s also not a fan of liars.

Along with that, Kobalt has issues with admitting when he’s in the wrong, or even just apologizing in general. His stubborn attitude only makes this worse. This is another thing that Kobalt needs to work towards overcoming, though he has trouble recognizing it.

Brief Bio
“Looks like it’s time for me to rise up.”

The youngest of six brothers and sisters, Kobalt Zaffre, like his siblings, was pushed towards becoming a hunter from a young age by his parents - a desire born from family tradition. Each sibling is expected to become a Hunter or a Huntress and then, years later, they are to return to their family and clash against the rest of their siblings. The last one standing is crowned the Zaffre successor. Due to this, each of the Zaffre siblings have a fierce competitive streak, not wanting to be outdone by the others. Each of the Zaffre siblings want nothing more than for their competitors to crumble underneath their strength, to gain the fame and privileges that come with the title of the Zaffre Successor.

Kobalt Zaffre is one such sibling who seeks that title. At the age of fifteen, at the advice of his parents, he moved to Atlas, to further train himself as a hunter. While he found them a little posh, he also found them to be powerful opponents. While he didn’t win much initially, through training he began to grow stronger. But one day, after defeating a particularly confident opponent, Kobalt couldn’t help but rub it in to his opponent, to show his superiority. This careless action led to an opponent of his harbouring a grudge, and that itself led to an opponent wounding Kobalt’s eye, which now requires an eyepatch. It serves as a reminder of those times.

As soon as Kobalt was back in fighting shape, he set himself down onto the rigorous path of training and battle once more, weapon by his side, yet the young warrior wondered where he could go from there. From that day forth, Kobalt was a changed man… And soon after that was when Kobalt set his eyes onto Beacon Academy… which he was fortunate enough to get accepted into. Kobalt believed that this was the next step to becoming the next Zaffre Successor.

Weaponry: Whip Gauntlets – Twin Thunderbolts

Kobalt’s weapon of choice are a pair of specialized gauntlets, named Twin Thunderbolts. These gauntlets are designed with speed and fluidity in mind – in particular, quick successions of attacks are what the Twin Thunderbolts are designed for. Along with this, the Twin Thunderbolts are designed to function as powerful Aura conduits, allowing Aura to be used offensively to a higher level.

Attached to the Twin Thunderbolts is a small wrist-launcher, which can be activated via hand motion. When activated, a durable rope will be sent flying forward, latching onto the first target – though it can also be curved to tie up a target. With this rope, the user can either pull themselves to an enemy, or pull an enemy to them. This rope can also function similarly to a whip. In total, the rope has a range of around nine metres.

Semblance: Aura Siphon:

A Semblance that the user willingly activates – which causes the user’s arms to become covered in bright blue sparks of aura – almost resembling electricity. These sparks cover the user’s weapons.

Aura Siphon’s purpose is to essentially drain the Aura from an enemy – however, in order to do that, the user needs to have their weapons make contact with the foe. Doing this will begin to absorb the enemy’s own Aura, then redistribute it to the user of Aura Siphon. Kobalt’s main methods of doing this are grabs, or by using his rope.

However, this ability isn’t without its weaknesses. The user cannot maintain Aura Siphon for very long. If the average amount of Aura was 1000, then at most – Aura Siphon would only be able to drain 100. Along with this, Aura Siphon has little utility against Grimm, as they do not have Aura. Using Aura Siphon on Grimm will only damage them very slightly.

Fighting Style: Speedy Slugger

Kobalt’s fighting style is best described as explosive. With a quick and speedy style, Kobalt specializes in getting up, close, and personal with an enemy and not letting up, unleashing barrage after barrage of punches and the occasional grapple. He’s good at keeping an enemy’s attention on him, thanks to this.

Kobalt’s strikes often use Aura to increase their power. While this does make them stronger, it also uses his own Aura, making it risky for him to keep this up. His Semblance can drain Aura, but even still – it doesn’t give him a lot more Aura to work with. Defensively, Kobalt also uses a fair bit of Aura.

At range, Kobalt is at a fairly large disadvantage – as he lacks a reliable ranged weapon. He relies on the Rope Launcher to get himself close to a faraway opponent, making him fairly weak against powerful ranged opponents, and especially opponents with means of getting themselves airborne.

Other: Kobalt’s Aura colour is Blue, of course.
He's got a hobby, in badge collecting.
Kobalt has a liking for hats. He also has a tendency to give people nicknames.

Xinyue Cao Tang, the Taoist Tiger Faunus of Vacuo

"Hate has no place in this world. If you will not strive for peace alongside me, then I can only hope that you've made yours..."

Personal Information

---

Name: Xinyue Cao Tang
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Country of Origin: Vacuo
Race: Faunus - Tiger
Team: N/A
Motivation: To establish peace between humanity and faunus-kind, and dismantle all sources of negativity in the world.

Appearance & Physique:

Xinyue is shockingly tall for a young woman of any caliber, standing at a grand total of 188cm (6' 2") tall. She has considerable muscle mass to her as well, weighing in at 77kg (169lbs), and sports a BWH ratio of 21-17-24 if measured in inches and 53-43-61 if measured in centimeters. Her hair has three colors to it, those being silver, black and purple, and even when tied into double buns, it's long enough to reach down to the middle of her back. Those three colors also present on her tail, with what alternating black and purple stripes. Xinyue wears a black and white china dress with detached sleeves. Xinyue makes no effort to hide her tail or prevent it from being on full display at any time; after all, she for one is proud of her faunus heritage, and no amount of shunning from any human parties can change that. The pupils of Xinyue's eyes tend to compress horizontally whenever something aggravates her; this is a genetic trait that she likely got from her birth mother.

Personality:

Unsurprisingly, Xinyue is a religious individual, who views herself as a holy warrior fighting to erase evil from the world of Renmant. She takes great pride in herself as a competent Huntress with a noble goal, that being to spread peace between humanity and faunus-kind, and make bigotry a thing of the past. Xinyue's devotion to denounce all negativity in the world is certainly admirable, and while naysayers may question whether such a reform is available to be procured, she's of the opinion that substance is only impossible if it's thought to be as such.

As far as her individuality goes, that biggest thing that makes Xinyue hard to get along with is because she suffers from a certain complex about her others would describe as being "holier-than-thou". She seems to take personal offense upon witnessing an act of taboo taking place in her vicinity, and she'll confront whomever done such a deed without a moment's hesitation and speak her mind in that regard. The problem with that is that she expects people to rescind their actions too quickly, with what her attitude naturally coming across as though she's trying to coerce them into it; and the more adamantly they refrain, the more severely her patience wears thin. Xinyue also has a hard time forgiving people, and can bottle a grudge for someone who'd made themselves in the wrong for the longest of times. The thought of possibly damaging her own conscience just by forsaking the wrong person is a bitter pill for her to swallow, and can be even more bitter in comparison to her pride.

However, although it may seem hypocritical for her to pass judgment on those whose staircases of sin she may or may not have followed them up, and while her hot-blooded nature may not be ideal for a peacemaker to have, Xinyue's heart is in the right place... some of the time. She just needs to be able to rationalize and stave off her emotions, and her goal of peace all of Remnant could very well be within arm's reach.

Biography:

Discarded at birth, Xinyue Cao Tang was found at the doorstep of a church that, although in the same region as the titular region that was Vacuo, had been secluded from the kingdom's capital city through sheer location alone. The teenage girl that had found Xinyue, a human nun in training by the name of Angel Celeste, had taken to look after the abandoned baby out of pity, and although she'd been trying to Xinyue's birth mother for the longest time, Angel's lack of success in the endeavor led her to raising Xinyue as her own child. Of course, the other nuns weren't too happy with Angel's decision of using the church as a roof over Xinyue's head, especially not after learning that Xinyue was a faunus. But given the situation, the head nun reluctantly gave the OK... on the condition that Xinyue would behave herself and Angel not be too distracted from her work. Angel tried her best to comfort Xinyue, who became depressed due to constant feelings of alienation.

Xinyue spent twelve years in that church's residence, until finally word of her true birth mother's existence came to light. It turned out that she had been on the run for all that time, eventually getting arrested by police after she gotten into a bar fight with a human man, who she mauled to death with her right arm that took the form of a tiger's claw. Thankfully, Angel owned a pick-up truck that she could use to take Xinyue over to the Vacuo Correctional Facility where her mother had been detained, since it would be much too far to get there by foot. The journey would be dangerous either way as well, as the outskirts of the Vacuo Correctional Facility was, unsurprisingly, heavily infested with the dark creatures of Grimm. Seeing the Grimm for the first time in her life frightened Xinyue, as she clutched a little too high and a little too tight on Angel's chest, which made her uncomfortable. But although she had to admit that she too was fearful of the prospect of encountering the Grimm, Angel managed to reassure Xinyue that, so long as they did nothing to attract the Grimm's attention, they'd be able to return home unscathed.

Supposing she'd be less afraid of the Grimm if she knew more about them, Xinyue decided that she'd look into enrolling at Mirage Academy, the preliminary combat school that the citizens of Vacuo would attend in preparation for their training as a Huntsman or Huntress at Shade Academy; much like Signal Academy was to Beacon Academy and Sanctum Academy was to Haven Academy. Xinyue was doing very well in her first year Mirage Academy and the partial amount of time she spent in the second, but unfortunately, she and several other well-achieving faunus students had been approached by known members of the White Fang. These White Fang members seemed to have researched into Mirage Academy, noting that it was severely understaffed, and aiming to exploit this weakness through means of a mass recruitment scheme. For her own safety, Xinyue was asked to transfer over to one of the other preliminary schools and, after talking to Angel about the situation, she decided that she'd move over to Signal Academy. Finally, after completing the rest of the year that she'd missed out on at Mirage Academy, Xinyue was ready to take on Beacon Academy, and continue her training as a competent Huntress.

Weapon Name: Arcus Splinters

Weapon Breakdown

The Arcus Splinters are a pair of weapons that normally take the form of crossbows that are small enough they can each be wielded in a single hand. However, if an enemy draws within melee range of Xinyue, they automatically begin to transform in order to resemble power drills, which she can use to pulverize her enemies' bones in a pinch. When using the Arcus Splinters this way, Xinyue will usually target the arms in order to disarm someone, or the legs to cripple their movement, allowing her to effortlessly maneuver herself back out of range. Whilst in their main form, the Arcus Splinters can fire wooden bolts, metal bolts and three different types of crystallized Dust bolts: Fire, Water and Earth. All of these types of bolts are stored in magazines that can hold up to 10 at a time. This greatly improves the Arcus Splinters' firing rate, as Xinyue had fitted the magazines so that the bolts loaded into the bow as it strung up without any mechanical complications.

While the wooden bolts are the least time-consuming to forge, their damage output is lackluster, only being truly effective against the Grimm with lessened endurance such as Beowulfs and Boarbatusks, and enemy Huntsmen or Huntresses whose auras have already been depleted. The Fire Dust bolts yield explosive results, especially when targeting weak spots. The Water Dust bolts splash onto enemies on contact, which may look to deal little damage, but can fry exposed electronics, and can make stricken enemies prime targets for allied Lightning Dust users. The Earth Dust bolts are the heaviest bolts that can be fired by the Arcus Splinters, which makes them wildly inaccurate, but they can partially petrify anything they hit, transforming the entirety of stricken body parts to stone. The metal bolts have the most penetrative power of the five types of bolts, able to pierce through one enemy and hurt any that are directly behind, and chunk up to 9% of an enemy's Aura at a time.

Xinyue can charge Arcus Splinter shots by holding the trigger for a short amount of time before releasing it. Use of this feature isn't recommended when one has been assigned to a stealth mission, as the grinding sound that can be heard when shots are being charged will give away the wielder's position, and the sheer recoil will not only throw off one's aim, but also cause moderate discomfort in the arms at best and severe damage to them at worst. This depends on the wielder's arm strength as well as the type of bolts being used. It should also be noted that not all types of bolts can be used safely for charged shots. This is primarily true for all three elements of Dust bolts, as they will "cook" when being charged, which can lead to disastrous results. Fire Dust bolts will explode in one's face, Water Dust bolts will disperse uselessly and Earth Dust bolts will petrify the entire chamber upon detonation, jamming the weapon and preventing further use until it is repaired. However, charging the shots for wooden bolts can provide much needed impact force, and charging metal bolts will greatly amplify their already impressive penetrative power; so much so they can cleave straight through any lesser Grimm and keep going...

Semblance: Fighting Spirit Awakened

Semblance Breakdown

Here, Xinyue summons an animal spirit that takes the form of a tiger, which she can use to combat enemies and distract them while Xinyue is re-positioning or reloading her Arcus Splinters. The tiger spirit responds entirely to Xinyue's will, which allows her to manipulate its actions as she sees fit. She can even unsummon the tiger spirit if its combat prowess is no longer needed. The tiger spirit's strikes deal heavy damage to Grimm, as its ethereal body is made entirely of Aura. The spirit is also fast enough to pursue enemies should Xinyue need them eliminated, and can intercept light attacks with ease. Strong concussive blows will cause the tiger spirit to disperse immediately however. When the tiger spirit is defeated in combat, its body emits a blinding light that greatly bolsters the Auras of any allies that are enveloped in it before dispersing.

While her Aura is at its full strength, Xinyue can conjure up to 3 tiger spirits in a single instance. Summoning all 3 spirits at once would be a reckless endeavor on her end, however, as since each one consumes a significant portion of her own Aura to bring forth, it would mean that she'd have less than half her Aura to take hits thrown her way, in exchange for her and her tiger spirits applying as much offensive pressure as possible. Having a tiger spirit(s) out in combat also seems to "cap" Xinyue's Aura level at a certain percentage of its full strength (depending on the number of spirits that had been summoned) and it can only replenish past that percentage if a spirit had died, or if she had unsummoned one at any point of time. Further more, each additional tiger spirit means that much more micro-management is necessary of Xinyue, which maybe taxing and can potentially distract her. As such, Xinyue will usually only summon 1 tiger spirit at a time.

Romand Lei Vester

Name
Romand Lei Vester

Country of Origin
Vale

Age
16

Physique

Appearance

Race
Human

Motivation
Romand wants to become a Huntsmen because he wants to prevent others from suffering like he did as a child. When his village was attack Romand's Mother and Sister were killed and it caused his Father to go a tad insane with protective actions. He hopes to stop similar attacks from happening.

Personality
Romand is very stubborn but is very respectful of those who hold a higher position then him. When it comes to his life there isn't much he's open about and being asked about it causes him to get very defensive and snappy. Due to his childhood Romand doesn't really understand Emotions and tends to come off as Heartless and Uncaring when he feels the exact opposite.

When it comes to combat he is able to judge how his attacks will effect the battle, but doesn't make an effort to voice these judgements due to either not caring if others know or thinking it wont make a difference. He has a very strong hatred for the Grimm since they were responsible for wiping out just over half of his childhood village. There is a chance his Rage will take over if he doesn't keep it in check, so he will meditate and be totally non-responsive while he does (though he normally does this at night).

Brief Bio
His village was attacked by a group of Grimms as a child and it resulted in his father becoming very strict with him. Most of his childhood was spent training in hand to hand combat but he soon found he had a very good aim with a Bow. This skill made him realize he could take advantage of this and combine it with his Semblance, against his father's wishes. He secretly joined the Academy without his father's permission but he was allowed to stay.

Semblance
His Semblance allows him to shoot Water Arrows at his enemies that causes them to be unable to move for a period of time. The amount of time depends on how strong his focus is when actually firing his arrows. He is also able to turn normal arrows into Water Tipped arrows that can scatter over an area. When it comes to his water it can be instantly frozen with any form of Ice Semblance, so he tries to keep a vile of Ice Dust in order to freeze his water if needed. But he tends to forget he has it so this hardly happens.
