Name ┒Artemisia Argent
Age ┒Race ┒Nationality ┒Physical Description ┒Artemisia's physical appearance generally is pretty neat and tidied, but keep a relaxed form. She will make sure that her cloths are presentable and that she is well groomed, without necessarily going full overboard. Of course, if and when required she would be wearing the academy uniform, in which case one won't see any folds of any kind. She sees this as some way to better herself and related to her training of self control.
Characterization ┒Artemisia has a balanced, sometimes contradicting character. Most of the time she aim to be someone of good company and doesn't seek out fight with others - but will often find it nonetheless. She believes in earning respect through one's action and is one of her core principle. She's no brute or bully, but she cares little for empty words and promises without their backing through concrete acts. She has a no-nonsense personality that often can cause friction with people that care a little less about their training and duties. Like her physical appearance, she is relaxed most of the time and easy to talk to, but she can turn into a real beast when it comes to training and fighting. Out of a fight or training exercise she can control herself better, but Artemisia's patience runs thin all the time. She can be quick to anger, and decisive in her actions - something which she uses in battle for the better or the worst. Her good discipline in training routines and her love for battle and things related could make her one of the best hunter, but her lack of control and sudden impulses could just as well spell disaster for her teammates. Despite of all this, she cares for those she calls friends and companions and would go at great lengths for them when and if necessary.
Backstory ┒Artemisia's parents are both in Atlas military, which could explains her interest in hard training and battle - but it doesn't.
Her father, Richard Argent, is a member of the logistic while her mother, Lyla, is an AI developer working on the many Atlas' androids. Both of them are well known in their fields and loved by their colleagues as patient and understanding persons, easy to work with. As anyone who met their daughter could tell, these traits did not pass on to her.
Their role is not combat oriented, but rather logistical in nature. They hoped for their daughter to follow in their footsteps, but realized all too soon that Artemisia would never be as gifted as they are in computers and technology. As she grew up she harbored a deep passion for the soldiers she saw around her and it threw a great impression on the little girl. She wanted to be like them, she wanted to train and to be strong and she wanted to be known for it. Her parents aren't sure where her ambitions came from or why, but they accepted it nonetheless. Better this than none at all. To little Artemisia, the idea of being surrounded by teammates and companions that would become a second family quickly became what she wanted.
Growing up, she trained a lot. First in an amateurish, inexperienced way but quickly more and more serious as the years passed by. She was never much interested in romantic aspirations by she loved her friends and was seen as loyal even if she could have a bad temper at times. Not as gifted as her parents, Artemisia nonetheless had good grades across the board thanks to her hard work and good studying and exercising routines. It wasn't too long when she was accepted into the training program to join Atlas' Academy.
Artemisia impressed her tutors and teammates across the board. Her physical aptitude were great and she was a gifted hunter. Time passed and she was eventually...kicked out of the program. Her fighting prowess were great, but her lack of patience and teamwork proved her downfall. It only grew to bigger proportions as she got better and was thrown into combat scenarios. The vision she grew up with of having a second family in their fellow Hunters came under attack, and it was all her fault. Artemisia had all this passion inside of her, this will to fight and be good but she couldn't control it at times, which caused her to either lash out or act out of line. It could not be, otherwise her dreams would never see the light of day. Her expulsion was the day she swore to herself to double down on her training, both physically and mentally.
Undeterred, she took it upon herself to move to Haven and try again there. With a little (lots) of work on patience and teamwork, this time she managed to get through the training program and be accepted in the Academy.
Semblance ┒Rage.
Pure unabated anger and loss of control is Artemisia's semblance. In more details, at some point during battle if she get angry enough her aura "catches fire". To the eye, it literally looks like Artemisia's whole body gets engulfed in red flames. More accurately, the 'fire' is energy taken form and exuding great heat. In theory, she could funnel that energy to a point, such as her weapon to deliver blows with extreme forces. However...this would mean that she learned to control two things; her emotions and the manipulation of her own aura. Two points which she has yet to reach or even get closed to. Meaning that her Semblance, for now, is uncontrollable.
Weapon & Fighting Style ┒Grimvötn is an automatic rifle with a slower rate of fire that is designed to shoot heavy duty dust-augmented bullets at mid to close range. The reason for the close proximity is, of course, because the weapon is also a Switch-Axe in that it can quickly take the form of a very heavy, two handed and double-bladed axe. The gun, and therefore the axe, are bigger and heavier than they look so the melee weapon act more as a crushing weapon than a cutting one.
Artemisia's choice of weapon is obvious, of course. She chose this to be in a thick of the fight, where she can do the most by putting her yet uncontrollable Semblance to the best use. While Grimvötn technically has a range mode, Artemisia would us that to either cover allies and get closer, though the closer she get to a fight the harder she can control her unabated lust for it. It wouldn't take long for Artemisia to switch to axe mode, where she prefers to do most of her work, and charge the enemy.
She fight with little regard to her own safety and inflict the most damage as possible with her powerful axe strikes.
Intangibles ┒- Artemisia is extremely fit and athletic. Her rigourous training makes her a good fighter, but she is prone to lose control and lose sight of a plan of attack. She can easily underestimate danger and put herself at risk, though she would always feel extremely guilty if her actions put innocents in direct risk for their lives.
- She easily talks to people and loves to be friendly, although she can just as easily lash out if she feels insulted, or during combat scenarios. Artemisia is aware of her flaws in lack of control of her emotions and is actively working on it.
- Artemisia has trouble working as a team simply due to her tendencies to charge into battle and lose control. And for good reason - Although her Semblance is unlocked, she's not really ware of it as it manifest as intense fits of Rage and desire for battle.
- To her, being a Soldier / Hunter is everything. She expects other Hunters to take training as seriously as her, which can lead her to be a tad judgy of those she perceives as slackers.
