| Kingdom of Origin: |Vacuo
| Race: |Faunus (Peacock tail)
| History: |To say that vacuo is an unkind place would be more than an understatement. You aren't meant to "live" in Vacuo at all; living off of whatever you can catch or grow, unironically calling sand a "spice" because its everywhere and in everything you eat, and the blistering heat all amount to one simple, universal truth.
This place fucking sucks.
And it is in this major suckage that a faunus and his family were born and survived. For better or for worse they survived, clinging to one another in the settlement of Feldspar settlement. At the tender age of 6 years old, the boy known as Turq would peer into the jaws of death as a decently big Blind Worm loomed over him after he'd tried to catch a gecko for a snack. Turq would later insist that it was over a hundred feet long, solely to make the statement: "My brother saved my life" have that much more meaning. A flash of gunfire and the flick of a blade and the definitely-not-hundred-foot-long-Blind Worm was ripped in two, the boy's older brother and trainee huntsman picking him up and running before more could arrive.
It was in that moment that Turq was certain of two things: He wanted to be a huntsman, and that his brother was the absolute coolest person in the world. He wanted nothing more than to be just like him, to be able to fight back against this terrible place they were born into, to fight tooth and nail in a way that only the strongest could, and to get to have such a flashy way of life. His brother was much like how Turq was now: flashy and full of himself, a vibrant figure that commanded attention, chagrin, rolled eyes, and maybe even the occasional "Woah". Turq's innocent mind lead him to believe that acting so bombastically was the embodiment of being a huntsman. After all, if you could only trust yourself in Vacuo, why shouldn't everyone act like a big deal if they can kill Grimm? It was as simple as 2+2 to Turq.
Life isn't that simple. Not ever. His brother would wind up in an accident during training that left him dead, and with no role model to look towards, Turq instead internalized everything about his big brother that he could. In essence, Turq became how he saw his brother. Flashy and arrogant. Cool and in control. Strong enough to live, and not just survive. With the "surviving" part kind of thrown out, Turq would go to Oscuro Academy to learn how to do that himself, graduating and finally making his way to Shade with more swagger in his step than his brother ever could have imagined.
Once he becomes a huntsman Turq has a very simple goal in mind: Live. Live as hard and as well as he possibly can for himself and his brother, and maybe even making Vacuo more "livable" than "survivable" with his efforts.
| Semblance: Geo(Ego)-centric |Fittingly enough for a person that thinks the world revolves around them, Turq is capable of making physics behave exactly like that. His aura serves as a conduit, centering him as an anchor by which objects infused with small amounts of his aura will begin to float around. He can control the general size of the orbit to a range of 2ft-10ft assuming that it retains its circular shape.
Rather than constantly adhering to a perfectly spherical orbit however, Turq can displace the shape to form oblongish orbits that go a bit further, at the cost of having less width to the orbit. The closer Turq makes the orbit to his body, the faster he is capable of making objects spin. This is often used in conjunction with his boomerangs to make a high-speed barrier of blades spinning in a circle around him. The only one who can move the objects in orbit is Turq himself, meaning that even if his boomerangs are shot or hit, they will continue to spin around him as if they weren't pushed at all.
The limitations of this are that the more objects that he chooses to pick up, the faster it will drain his aura, and drastically decrease the speed the objects can rotate based on their combined mass. Basically, he can't just touch a boulder and make it float as if it weighed nothing around him at Mach 7. He also cannot use this on any living being with aura, and Grimm are generally too large for him to use it on them.
| Weapon and Fighting Style: |Befitting his thrill seeking nature, Turq's weapon "Theme Song" resembles a pair of climber's picks that are connected by a long chain, forming into a weapon that is used in a similar manner to kusarigama. The chain can be retracted into the handles, retracting enough to let the handles connect to one another and attach to Turq's belt in a compact form. The turqoise colored handles feature slots that can fit crystalline dust that is fed along the blades, allowing for elemental usage on the battlefield. The pick blades are sturdy enough to dig into rock and support the weight of a few people, and sharp enough to dig deep without issue, making it great for recreation outside of slaying Grimm.
The ranged function of the weapon comes from the ability of the pick blades to be detached at the press of a button, and, with a proper flick of the wrist, they can be sent flying as a boomerang. Even if the blades can't return to Turq, the weapon is still usable due to the handles doubling as blunt instruments. The boomerangs will always return to Turq due to a pair of Gravity dust crystals being used on both ends of the chains and in the center of the boomerangs, ensuring that they don't just fly off a cliff to never be seen again.
Turq will commonly use this weapon in conjunction with his semblance, timing a boomerang throw to orbit around him in a speedy arc, while attacking with one remaining blade and blunted handle. He is best capable at fighting at mid-range, as his chain can only extend so far. While he is best at mid-range, he's no slouch at fighting up close and personal, often using the curled chain of the weapon to block attacks or to outright disarm his opponent. The boomerangs are also ineffective at extremely long range combat, making him incapable of dealing with snipers.
And, if all else fails, Turq is more than willing to grab his opponent with his chain and pummel them with his bare hands.
| Strengths and Weakness: |Strengths
- Situational Awareness: Turq's weapon and personality make him observant of the conditions of both the battlefield and the ballroom.
- Enhanced Sight: Being an avian faunus, Turq's vision is far better than average.
- Stalwart Companion: Even though he's a narcissist, Turq is more than willing to pull his weight in a fight, and in helping out his teammates. Even if he'll make it sound like you're VERY lucky to have someone as great as him helping. What a greatgrating guy. Despite his eagerness for helping others, he strongly dislikes accepting help from others.
- Mental Anomaly: The sheer force of his narcissism means that by and large his mental fortitude is impossible to topple. At least, by others.
Weaknesses
- Mid-to-close: In a long-range fight, Turq is just about useless due to his boomerangs not covering as large a range as many other ranged weapons.
- 100% Smug: For all his pomp and posturing, Turq is strangely not liked by many people, making his egotistical posturing grating.
- Draining Semblance: The actual aura cost for Orbit is rather exponential, and as such cannot be maintained for long periods of time. As such, his blade barrier is often used sparingly, making it impossible for him to constantly have a line of defense up to deal with threats from any angle.
- Own Worst Critic: Turq is"You know you'll never be like your brother, right?"a little unsure if he really is "Why do you keep trying? Its disgusting." all that.
| Greatest Fear/Fatal Flaw: |If there would be any sort of flaw that Turq would be hurt by, its his hubris and ego. He sincerely believes that he's stronger than just about anybody, and is liable to turn down help in an attempt to prove that he really IS as strong as he claims to be.
| Miscs : |Turq's brother had a weapon that consisted of a long spear with a revolver's barrel and cylinder jutting out just below the head.
Does in fact use shampoo that smells like coconut.
Gecko cakes are his favorite food.
