How noisy do you want the entrance to be? Because I can see him at the same time simply morphing in to existence out of a plug socket or arriving in a burst of white noise and every light in the room flickering.

Theme;

The City of New Ba Sing Se

Shiro sighed, he was testing something he'd picked up in his village, Originally it was used to power small gocarts they used to race, pushing fire through the palms behind them to produce speed. though he'd taken it to a new height, Almost to literally trying to fly with it was one thing, covering a large distance between solid ground and ba sing se was another thing. though he was managing, just. he'd built up enough speed to get him there, now he was just considering the matter of his landing, He'd rather not reverse his jets of fire, for fear of setting someone alight. After a moment he decided the best solution would be to land in one of the less bustling parts of the city, though that did mean getting over the walls as well.

The City of New Ba Sing Se

Name: Shiro Lux
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Skills: Weather prediction, skilled close combatant
Element(If None Leave Blank): Fire - Lightning (Cannot diversify in to second element without losing lightning)
Weapon(If None Leave Blank): twin blades and a throwing glaive
1 of the blades;

Throwing Glaive (it acts like a boomerang)

History: Born unto a secluded fire bending village he showed a proficiency from a early age with bladed weapons and fire bending, he grew up learning and training, Rapidly mastering advanced firebending skills and even becoming skilled at lightning bending. leaving for Ba Sing Say a few days before avatar day to see what it was all about
Personality: Warm, friendly, and highly spontaneous, often randomly deciding to go do something on a whim.
Friends/Family: Mother and father back at his home town.
Relationship/Crush: Non yet.
Orientation(Bi, Straight, etc.): He has no idea. (Never had time to find out)
Other: He still dosn't understand why he can't learn a second element.

If anyone's interested I found a interesting grid explaining Twin-elements and metal/blood/lightning/sound bending as well as why the avatar can use all four.

I think its pretty self explanatory. The avatar is a 'spirit' bender, and thus has access to all the elements.

Would you say he'll be able to survive such an encounter? I imagine an attitude like that is gonna cut one's adventures pretty short.

Depends, If someone yanks him back, he might get away with losing a hand, if no one does anything He'll probably end up either dead or just getting laughed at by the dragon, or ending up like the black knight. On average No. Thats why it such a weakness, he's so assured in his own ability to re-build himself he's highly uncaring about actual likelihood of survival.

He's a Saggitarius, mate. No problem here, just thought I'd let you know....
He was born so close to the gale that (as happens with wormholes) time dilation and distortion meant that it could be something else, Though if you want me to put it in I will.

Ahem. So what exactly he descended from? All that was said was 'Greater Entity' and an example with Lucifer in it. That needs a bit more clearing up. If it's a story thing, just fire off a PM and explain there.
That was Kinda up for debate, I was going to wait for approval before doing that, because Clearly having the grandson of the devil himself would be rather OP. I was more thinking Fallen angel Ect.

Magitech is Not Really A Thing. According to Cynder, it exists but isn't used since technology in Lucis is incredibly low-tech and Earth's stuff is apparently just better. Anyway, from here on, just assume everything regarding magitech or advanced technology basically has a big *MAGITECH IS NOT LIKE THAT* or *LUCIS IS NOT THAT ADVANCED* stapled onto it.
MagiTech is not the imitation of one by the other, but the seamless blending of the two, The reason Leo has access to that (As I have said) is his Uncle is an inventor ect, I should have made this clear, but his Uncle is of Earth. That would be how he has access.

Okay, so there's a few problems here:1) Mana crystals render being born a mage completely and utterly obsolete. They recharge the exact same way as natural mana, can change their alignment, and you can amass a crapload over time. So... Completely surpassing natural sources of mana.
Size limits charge, Also they have a reuse limit, keep re-using a rechargeable battery and it will eventually break down. Same with these mana crystals. Also the crystals themselves are unaligned, its the technology within the axe that changes the alignment of the magic

2) Cynder doesn't like assault rifles in fantasy settings, which is what Lucis is.
She said Rwby like gun-blade weapons, Hell in the newer episodes of Rwby (spoiler alert) There's a guy with a cyberpunk electrostatic rifle! but I'll take it down to some sort of magical rifle.

3) Mana Bomb is a no. When you have a weapon that uses a Hydrogen bomb as a measuring stick and can annihilate a town and only needs a simple reload to do again... Well, then you have a balance problem.
I said uses the same tech as, Not that it was comparable to. also its called 'last resort' for a reason. as for 'simple reload' the mana crystals are embedded inside the axe and machinery, Meaning he would have to disassemble the entire thing, In combat. to replace its crystals. Also, it is of variable power, that is only if the mana crystals are at full charge, often this is used when they are almost out, so it'll do a lot less

4) Please explain to me how a gun fires magic circles.
Its not technically a gun, More a catalyst, Think of it like a wand. He cannot use magic on his own, though he has untapped stores of mana, (due to him being, well a Trifling). The 'gun' allows him to catalyse that mana in to actual spells.

5) The alternate firing mode strikes me as less 'nonlethal' and more 'neurologically crippling' than anything.
Have you ever stood up and got head rush? the gun disrupts the electronic signals in your head, and does exactly the same thing as headrush but on a much grander scale, Thus knocking you out, It's only short range, and because doesn't damage the neurons or electronic pathways you get back up in a hour or so with nothing more than a headache, and probably a bruise if you fell in something.

6) Hydrogen fuel cells will blow you to shreds if anyone gets to them. Also, hydrogen cells, especially miniaturized, are not available at your local Lucismart.
Yup. You spotted a Major weakness, if anyone gets to his cells He's fucked. congratz. And yes, I know, since I was told to keep the bio short I couldn't really go through the whole history of him living nigh on top of the gale and having immediate access to earth because of his Uncle ect. If you wish me to I can send you a PM explaining it all.

7) Chakra/Chi/Ki = Mana. Not sure how your suit works if you have something that disrupts it. Also, it no-sells magic which is Not A Good Thing.
Ah, I always felt that Chakra/chi/Ki was a internal alignment of your own energy flow to enhance ones attacks and defence (Think Monk), Where as Mana was the reaction of the release of internal energy occurring outside the body upon contact with external energy. However if in this Mythos they are one and the same I'll take it off. 'no-sells magic' I couldnt understand

8) Lucisean power armor is Not A Thing.Inventor or not, Lucis doesn't get Earth-level tech unless you've stolen it or are part of the black market/a scientific institution. Hell, they barely understand .And before anything is said, I doubt an inventor working for a scientific institute is going to give his nephew all the snazzy prototypes.
Again, Most of this is explained in his extended bio However if you want me to take it out because you feel it is OP that is fine, also its a prototype Leo made with his uncle and grandfather. in their own workshop

Considering the rest of the CS, Leo is hardly a 'Jack of all Trades, Master of None' and more just a 'Master of All',
Well, He's not going to be throwing fireballs or lightning bolts. Or summoning the dead. He's more likely to be using basic destructive magic such as bog-standard mana blasts, nor will he be happy to drive a tank or use a super advanced sniper rifle, he'd much prefer something like a revolver or flamethrower.

and 'Recklessness' isn't a weakness when you have an answer to pretty much everything, outmatched or otherwise.
Let me re-itterate that, Normal person, with only his basic weapon vs a dragon; Yeah, I'm running.
Leo, with only basic weapon vs a dragon; Pfft, I can take him.
Its not just recklessness, its a utter disregard for the certainty of his own life and wellbeing. He feels, he can replace any part of his body lost in combat with a magitech version. and thus has no care for his own safety. I'd say that's a pretty big weakness, as you'd expect he won't be with his armour all the time.

Since I'm not a fan of meaningless disadvantages, please add some actual weaknesses.
Not sure how to respond other than 'I'll do that last'

The only magic that involves circles is rituals and written, the latter of which usually comes with instructions.
Thats fine by me.

And I doubt he's able to understand tongue or have a program that does (which, incidentally, is software), especially considering Earth and Lucis only met two decades ago. Also, what exactly is the value of learning what a spell will do a few seconds before it happens?
No, he can't understand EVERY tongue, however the most common magic ones, he can. and there isn't any really, its just a interesting tidbit, it has no actual 'power' Hence why its in the strange skills part.

...So is what it is relevant at all to the RP?
Magic ect.
kinda needed to put it in there so if they watch a battle and he comments on a spell midway through its casting its understandable as so how he can.

I think that covers everything, I would have used a standard Battle cleric, but there was already a battle-mage and the two are far to similar. If the OP is hyper opposed to MagiTech's I'll just drop in a monk or a Bio-Weapon.

I know the feeling about Draconian's I had to get one custom made for my big char sheets. it was tempting to drop him in here, but He'd be OP as it gets.

Academy Of The Arcane Artes

Full Name
Leonardo Alexandrus Gladston

Nickname(s)
Leo or Alex (depending on if there's another leo or alex!)

Gender
Male

Age
18

Year
2nd

Birthday
19th of December (Earth time)

Astrological Sign
Unknown Due to zone of birth.

Species
Trifling,
The Trifling are a name giving to mostly human though somewhat not creatures, Most often it is given to those who are of human parentage but have non human ancestors of a mythical kind, So the great, great grandson of Lucifer would be a Trifling. They tend to inherit a good portion of their ancestors power, though this is magnified through various means such as magical/technological assistance or even something as simple as being the seventh son. They rarely have any visible differences, However their aura is massively abnormal.

Class
Arcane Technomancer. A technomancer is someone who has a mastery over technology. and Arcamancer is someone who has mastery over the Arcane arts, such as magic. An Arcane Technomancer is a combination thereof. capability to create, Master, and use Arcane technologies, often lost, or forgotten. While they oft do not have the precision of a high tech laser sniper rifle, or the ease of hurling a fireball. They make up for it in outright durability, Versatility, and destructive power.

Weapon
His Primary weapon is Brahak, A magitech Scythe/Axe/Rifle (Assault, not sniper.) This axe is powered by both Leo's innate magic and a internal bank of Mana crystals which re-charge over time. the weapon itself can discharge the Mana in several ways, The first being a blast of concussive force over short distance, the second being energizing the rifle rounds to a specific magic type. the third is enhancing the weapon edge with a specific magic type, the fourth, and possibly most useful is in a 'mana catalyser' which generates ammunition for the rifle. there is also a 'Last Resort' device, called a Mana Bomb, it combines the principles of an Hydrogen bomb, with Mana, creating a hurled orb of condensed energy which would (at maximum charge) flatten a 4 bedroom house, However the more magic he has used, the weaker this attack. The downside is this burns out most of the Mana crystals inside of it, Meaning they need replacing, The amount of destructive force can be reduced (and thus the damage to the mana crystals is also reduced)
Img;

Casting Pistol, As seen in his image, this pistol enhances is his magic casting ability and allows him to use more powerful spells, the internals of it are unknown to all but himself, it has an alternate firing mode as a short range (five meter) wave gun which disrupts a targets brain function, knocking them out for a few hours.

World
Lucis Though closer to the black gale than most would like

Long Biography
Before 'The black gate' was ever created, There was a young man, who while he owned a house and had a satisfying life, Struggled to find anyone who could match his tastes, and so, Living in a world like Lucis, full of magical and mythical creatures, he struck a deal with a Supernatural being, A greater Demon to be precise. The demon would ensure several things for the young man, That his family would always own the house, That his house would always exist, and that he would find a suitable wife. The demon, seeing this mans soul decided it was not worth agreeing, However, The man offered him the soul of one of his children, 3 daughters and 1 son to be precise, The demon's choice, he was so desperate that his name not be forgotten, The demon, enticed by the offer. Agreed. And so time passed the man found a wife and they settled down, They had children, and time came and went. The man, not having seen the demon since, thought that he'd forgotten the deal. However, The demon had not. 4 days before his first daughters wedding, The demon approached the man, and said "I would like the soul of your first daughter." The man flatly refused, and so the demon went away. The man felt as if he had won, cheated the demon. 3 days before The second daughters wedding, the same happened, The man felt as if he had to only refuse 1 last time to win. However, The night before the 3rd daughters wedding, The daughter came to her father and asked him to call the wedding off and Let her elope with a man she had fallen in love with. The father agreed, having not seen this man. This man, as you could well guess, Was the Demonl himself. Once again.
Time came and went, The man passed on, feeling angered that he had been tricked so. The third daughter (and thus the demon) Inherited the house. They had children, 3 sons and a daughter. Time continueds. Now we come to the era of the Black Gate, The gate opened, and in that year 2 things happened, 1 of the sons left through the gate to explore new worlds, rapidly becoming one of the foremost pioneers of introducing Lucis to the modern tech of earth. and one of the few with permission to carry Blueprints and designs through the black gate (No actual tech, Yet). And Leonardo was conceived between the second son and his wife. The house itself was on the ground where the black gate first formed, However due to the generations old deal, It stood fast on its own island, held aloft by the demon power, The same demon who still lived in the house.

Fast Forward 10 years, Now Leo is 9 years old, His Uncle, whom he is named after, Alexander is still one of the foremost transporters of Technology and Trans-world traders, exchanging magical goods in Lucis for Technology of earth, Now allowed to transport the materials as well as designs He often smuggles bits of tech home for his growing Nephew, as he never had a chance to marry, The Demon, seeing this, tries to surround Leo with fantastic magics. The two grow bitter to each other, Trying to outdo each other in impressiveness, one with technology, The other with magic.
5 years later, Leo is now 14 years old, 4 years before the present day, Leo finds a piece of crystallized magic, a spell which was canceled halfway through casting, One of his new toys is out of power (A remote control helicopter), so he tries to get it to run on this spell. It becomes a project, and Both without the other being aware, His uncle and The demon aid him in the endeavor, It takes 6 months of hard work, But the first peice of MagiTech is born. A blending of magic and technology. and over this His grandfather, and Uncle find a new goal, Teach the Young Leo to become the first, and greatest MagiTechition. And so Leo's playroom becomes a workshop, Half Alchemical Lab, Half Techo-mancer's research lab. Overloaded with such a possibility The young Leo is encouraged and enticed to learn and grow in new ways in to the role his uncle and Grandfather have set out for him, and He loves it, Not only bringing the two people in his life who meant so much to him together, but doing things, and learning things that neither of them on their own could do. He learns how to engrave magic on to technology to make it last longer, become tougher or even just do something new. He learns how to wire technology to enhance magic and manipulate mana. The years pass by, He creates a Mana-enhancer, Allowing him to cast spells of his own, combining this with a self defence technology his uncle brought back from earth, He created his wave gun. During this, His Father passed way, His father, a magic wielding guardian, left Leo his axe/scythe, in the hope that Leo would follow his footsteps, Leo took the Axe/Scythe and decided to make it his own, he improved it, fused it with technology, repurposed it to his own will, It became his tool, his weapon. slowly he overtook what his Uncle and Grandfather could teach him. and it became that he would only ask them for knowledge or items when he lost his own way, He began to do things they could not understand. It was then, They realised that he had fulfilled the path they had set for him. It was then, he got the letter to attend The Academy Of The Arcane Artes.

Personality
Leo is incongruous in his personality when looked at from a overall point of view much like the first assumption of his skills, though like his skills it seems to fall in to place easily and work together. While warm and friendly he dose not take kindly to fools or those trying to make fools of others. and he often treats those who he sees as fools with scathing sarcasm and cynical sharpness.

Partner
Whoever wants to be.

Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s)
Due to the dual nature of leo's equipment and abilities he does not gain any specific strengths either, IE; Someone skilled at magic can use highly powerful and complex spells, or someone who as grown up surrounded by computers could be able to hack. Leo cannot do such things, He must rely on his own Arcane Technomancy and often cannot 'borrow' from others.
Non-Alignment, Due to the fact he has no direct natural magical alignment other than that to his grandfather he lacks a natural defence from magic, He can cast counterspells, or use his weapons to block, but he does not have a resistance to any specific element (EG a earth golem would be almost immune to lightning ect.).

Strange Attributes/Abilities/Traits
Magic-translation; Most magic when cast requires a incantation, or produces a magic circle. And more often than not this is in some strange tongue. Due to years and years of working with magic and combining it with Tech he can read, translate, and dissect a magic spell/circle a few seconds before it is cast, understanding what the spell will do, Clearly the faster the spell, the harder this is.
Technological understanding; The technological version of Magic-Translation, the ability to observe, and understand tech simply by examining it, This however does not confer the ability to say hack passwords or keypads. This is much more on a hardware scale than software, if someone showed him the binary of a computer he'd not understand, if they showed him a chipboard, he'd be able to tell them everything about it.

Count me in. I'll most likely pick fire or air.

The Dark Bastion.

"that would probably be a lelioth shot, its basicly a shot glass of caffine and tannin." he said and nodded. "caramel it is, and anyone else?" he was debating himself of what to have, probably going to have a hot chocolate and be done with it.
