Username: thirtyspacechickens-go Name: Opal Lilla ( "Lilla" is danish for purple; she's very prideful, which is an attribute of the color purple; "Opal" from the greek "opallios" meaning "to see a change of color" ) Nickname: Just Opal, please Race: Faunus Arctic Hare. As a result, she has rabbit's ears and her hair changes color to white in the winter season ( appearance with white hair: [x] ) Ethnicity: Caucasian Gender: Female Orientation: Pansexual Alignment: Lawful Neutral Academy: Beacon Age: 17 Birthday: December 1st Height: 5' 8'' Combat Type: Close range, fist fighting/ Medium-Long range, javelin and spear. Weapon: "Andraste" ( translates to "[the name] for victory" ). A battle spear that she uses as a javelin or as a fighting staff; stays in one piece in this form, but can extend or shrink. It can also transform into a single, large gauntlet that forms to her left wrist for close combat when she pushes a trigger button. The gauntlet can be equipped with dust, but is usually used as a punch-enhancer in close-combat situations. She keeps her weapon secured on her back, or ready on her wrist, situation depending. Dust Skill: ❖ Burn: Moderate-Low skill ❖ Water: Moderate-High skill ❖ Steam: Low-level skill, combines burn and water dust in her weapon to create plumes of steam for easy escapes or distractions ❖ Lightening: Extremely low-level skill, currently trying to incorporate into her weapon ❖ Gravity: Low-level skill, uses this most often with her gauntlet to make her hits heavier Semblance: ❖ Banshee Screech: Legend says that when Boudica released a hare on the battlefield to ensure her victory, it let out an ear-piercing scream. Comparatively, Opal can activate her semblance and let out a scream that temporarily paralyzes her opponents ( about 30 seconds, depending on the length of her scream ). The less time she screams, the more she can activate her semblance in a fight. The longer the screech, the quicker her aura is depleted. It has a range of about a quarter mile. It affects small, weaker Grimm more than stronger ones, and tends to not work on incredibly old Grimm. If people are behind her, it doesn't affect them, as the soundwaves get sent outward and forward, not backwards.
Strengths: ✔ Dust Use: Opal has a natural affinity for using dust, so her goal is to master all forms of dust, and maybe even create something new. ✔ Ingenuity: She is quick-witted and is an excellent problem-solver. Taking the lead has never been an issue for her; she's good at forming plans. ✔ Battle Skill: Opal has been around fighting her entire life; her lineage is of fighters. She is comfortable on the battlefield and knows her weapon well. ✔ Targeting: Her long-range combat is far superior to her close-range and hand-to-hand. She can hit almost any mark at almost any range. ✔ Determination: Get knocked down, get back up. She refuses to give up and refuses to lose. They only way she'll stop fighting is if she's unconscious.
Weaknesses: ✘ Martyrdom: Opal is willing to sacrifice herself for her loved ones. She will throw herself into harms way if a situation escalates to that. ✘ Night Terrors: When her hometown was attacked by Grimm, Opal watched them destroy buildings and people alike. The dreams haunt her. ✘ Hand-to-Hand: While her skills aren't abysmal in hand-to-hand combat, they certainly aren't the best. She trains almost daily to improve. ✘ Quick Temper: Despite her self-proclaimed level head, if she's angry or threatened, Opal tends to act first and ask questions later. ✘ Determination: As much a weakness as it is a strength. She refuses to give up, even if the outcome will be fatal . It could be the death of her.
Likes: ✔ Sparring matches, training ✔ Learning history ✔ Cooking large meals ✔ Meditating, reflection ✔ Freshly laundered sheets ✔ Walking nature trails ✔ Sleeping on the beach ✔ Cold weather, snow
Dislikes: ✘ Senseless violence ✘ Drunkards, alcoholics ✘ Being belittled ✘ Handwriting notes for class ✘ Creatures of grimm ✘ Dances, dancing ✘ Spicy or hot foods ✘ Arguing with her mother
❖ Opal is the type that carries the weight of the world on her shoulders. She is hot headed, but has tried to level herself out, and quick to speak her mind. Justice is something very important to her, and she feels a responsibility to uphold it. Her father's death is a constant reminder to keep getting stronger and smarter. She tries not to discriminate against Human-Grimm, as the faunus have a history of being discriminated against, but its hard for her not to hold an unspoken grudge. While her heart is warm and welcoming to those she cares for, she will just as easily ice someone out. She is not one to offer second chances. Sometimes, she acts before she thinks usually in moments of high stress and gets herself into situations that her pride will not allow her to walk away from. Her will is strong, but her friends are her weakness. She would willingly die to save another's life. Day-to-day, she is generally quiet and reserved, but won't shy away from conversation. Her smile is soft, often held back, and her laugh is boisterous. She carries herself with a purpose.
History: ❖ Opal's mother (faunus) is a professional huntress. Her cold and bitter personality masked her desire of "I just want the best for my daughter." Her father (not faunus) was a quiet man, strong and much more a listener than he was a fighter. When he fought, it was a sight to behold. One punch from him seemed like ten from any other man. Once he had a family, though, he softened up and they became his priority. He was distant from Opal, except for when they were training and sparring. Then, he would tell her stories of his past, instill wisdoms to her, and be his most candid. Opal almost thinks he was afraid to hurt her in some way. But, still, she looked up to him. It was only fate that Opal would wind up being a rather reclusive person. It wasn't a bad or lonely life. On the contrary, her parents paid a lot of attention to her and encouraged her training to fight.
❖ Living in the snowy region of Anima, her father worked as a dust miner, harvesting the many floating islands that held dust deposits. It was this fact that got Opal so interested in dust and how it worked. She wanted to learn everything about it. She wanted to make new kinds of dust and master those, too. She started incorporating it into her fighting style and has a handle on a few of them, but there is always more learning to be done. In combat school, she chose her weapon: a long-spear. It was love at first sight. She started constructing her own, personal spear. It could extend outward an extra foot and retract inward a foot, could be used for defense or offense, as a javelin, a fighting stick, the possibilities seemed endless. Alongside her practice in school, Opal was brought up to be a fighter by her parents standards. Her training also mostly included long-range target practice, javelin throwing, spear fighting, and self-defense. While she preferred training with her father, her mother didn't hold back and Opal ultimately became stronger because of that.
❖ One day, during a particular day of unrest in her city, a Grimm attack happened. Opal's mother was out on a mission and her father, having no other choice than to protect his home, went to help the others. He died defending their home during that Grimm attack. After his death, the family picked up and moved to Menagerie. It was supposed to be a safe heaven for them. It just seemed like a prison sentence to Opal. Her mother, her baby brother, and herself all left their home to "start anew." As much as Opal didn't want to leave their home in Anima, she knew she didn't have a choice. Opal would do anything for her little brother and that meant being there to protect him. He's the reason she wanted to become a huntress, to show him that anyone can be strong. Hunter is her motivation. He's seven years old; he was only one when their father died. After Tempest died a distance grew between Opal and her mother. They fought constantly, argued and took their sparring matches to intense levels. Florence was always pushing Opal to be better and stronger. Due to the extreme nature of their fighting, Florence inadvertently caused Opal to run away.
❖ She was fifteen when she ran away. Unsure of where to go, Anima seemed like her only choice, as it was the only other place she was familiar with. It was here that she ran into Raven Branwen. A wayward child, Opal was eventually invited to join the Branwen Tribe. Raven began training her in hand-to-hand combat, then, seeing that Opal was only experienced with long-to-medium distance combat. They converted her Javelin into a transforming weapon, a gauntlet, that could change form and attach to her fist to strengthen her blows. Opal lived here for two years before deciding she wanted to attend Beacon Academy. After a long series of discussions petty arguments and silent treatments, Raven finally approved her attendance and set up the proper channels to get her in the entrance exam. The last thing Raven said to Opal was, "You have to make your own paths in life. Good luck."
Outfits: ❖ Day-to-Day: As seen in the accompanying image [x]. Worn outside of classroom, during class outings off campus, around town, and in battle. Loose, comfortable, easy to move in. This also serves as her battle outfit as it is modified to hold her weapon and dust capsules. ❖ Academy Uniform: As seen here. Worn during class and during some school functions. After classes, she usually just stays in her uniform instead of changing into different clothes. ❖ Causal Attire: Examples seen here: [1][2][3][4]. Worn when she is not expecting any fighting, out on the town, shopping, going out to eat, or any number of "causal" things where she might not need the amenities of her regular battle outfit. ❖ Formal Attire: As seen here. Worn during school dances or other "fancy pants" functions. She usually puts her hair up into a braided bun when she dresses formally.
Items: ❖ An old, tattered, wool blanket ❖ A steel chest piece, armor ❖ Her younger brother's photo
Other: ❖ Aura Color: Purple, with a hue of silver ❖ Theme: Boudicca - "Boudicca was said to have released a hare as a good omen before each battle and to divine the outcome of battle by the hare's movements. She took a hare into battle with her to ensure victory and it was said to have screamed like a woman from beneath her cloak." As with many other characters in the show, Opal is based loosely off of a historical figure. She is ready to head into battle and feels it is a responsibility to lead others. Her faunus trait is also linked to this theme. ❖ Archetype: Soldier, knight
Username: GrandOldMan Name: Crimson Armato Nickname: Crimson Armato thank you! Race: Human Ethnicity: Caucasian Gender: Female Orientation: Straight-ish Alignment: Chaotic Good Academy: Beacon Age: 18 Birthday: Oct. 30 Height: 5' 8" Combat Type: Close Range Heavy Weapon(s): "Vast Majesty" BroadSword Fast and agile, with long reach and heavy hitting blows. Originally her fathers. As a dust charge could be fitted into the hilt to add a extra devastating blow as the dust ignites during a blow from the sword. One dust charge per special attack.
Dust Skill: ❖ Burn Dust- Medium Skill Semblance: ❖ Brick Wall- A rather unusual sight, a almost genetic semblance passed down through generations. Crimson having named it different form it's original name to better suit her, it essentially is a numbing factor. Shutting off all of her feelings and limiting whatever bodily needs it can, to enforce her short term strength and speed. However, even with enhanced strength, speed, and loss of feeling of injury or impact, means that after her semblance has been used, she will once again feel and show the injuries, if any, taken during the time it was used. With how much she exerts, makes the basis for how long her semblance can last, which is often and mostly determined by her feelings and determination at that time. Literally becoming a tank, a brick wall, smashing all, but then running out of fuel and puttering out in the end. While using her semblance, it appears like there is thicker red layer or haze, tight formed around her body.
Strengths: ✔ Proud, Family heritage and name, as well as her own skills give her more than enough bragging sense... at least in her own mind. ✔ Head Strong and Tenacious, Her pride, often leads to reserves of energy and unwillingness to give in or slow down. ✔ Oblivious, With her pride and tenacity often if not always in the way, she all too often overlooks important details and events. Often speaking her true opinion and mind without thought of who and what is being spoken of, feeling no one should ever worry for niceties when it comes to truth... or her opinion. ✔ Strong Aura and Very Strong Semblance
Weaknesses: ✘ Hard Headed, Ferocious, Stubborn ✘ Not Great Control Over Her Mostly Emotion Controlled Semblance ✘ Talks Too Much, with little restraint in making herself heard. ✘ Very basic combat knowledge, less finesse, more brute-
Likes: ✔ Being Noticed or Recognized ✔ Tea, Coffee, and Finer Drinks ✔ The Idea of Hunters and Huntresses and becoming one officially like her mother and father ✔ Cleanliness
Dislikes: ✘ Misinformation ✘ Being Ignored ✘ Uncleanliness ✘ Lower Class Types of People ✘ Faunus who Don't Feel they Should be just Equal to Humans
Personality: ❖ The proud, family name driven, somewhat spoiled.. very spoiled bragster. Head Strong and prideful, Her pride, all too often clouding her judgement and thought making her very oblivious, as she all too often overlooks important details and events. Often speaking her true opinion and mind without thought of who and what is being spoken of, feeling no one should ever worry for niceties when it comes to truth... or her opinion.
History: ❖ Mistrel Academy had produced a many a number of glorious and famed fighters, but among those, also came the average and even mediocre hunters and huntresses. Like those of Mars and Carmine, her mother and father, who barely graduated by the skin of their... well, bodies. Attempting to cloak themselves and their terrible style with show and glamour, which only really appealed to the even lesser of the academy and hunters/huntresses, which there weren't many.
Living the low looked down upon Glory Lives, they begot a daughter, who, with their growing age, decided to pour all of their "fame", "riches", and "family name glory and history" into, which she quickly ate up and took as truth, never hearing out the words or truths coming from others around her, but with those wary few who truly did hype and believe the falsified stories and rhetoric, it cemented into her mind that she was made from greatness, and destined to it, no, deserving of it. And anyone else who didn't aspire to the greatness she wished to achieve, were under her, and would not ever hold the glory her family name holds. Which is truly, none, or a strong lack there of. She grew up among this growing more and more funneled into her own legacy, her self assurance and confidence growing, but not with her ability.
Seeing the challenge of becoming a possible guardian, she quickly got up and headed for her new chance at greatness. In her final moments before leaving home, her father and mother attempted to tell her the truth, and lessen her broadness. But it fell on deaf ears, as she marched out and away to Beacon Academy, to expand the glorious name of Armato, and show everyone, that she was to become, a guardian.
Other: ❖ Crimson will often if not always speak her mind, whether insulting or nice. And always makes a point of making her point and thoughts heard by the 'masses of onlookers and fans'. Even though she does not see it. The vast majority of everyone from Mistrel as well as neighboring areas, if not the entirety of Remnant have heard the name Armato, and the short comings that are associated with the name. But among all of Remnant there are still those who believe the hype around the name just as much as Crimson does, and she will defend it to her last breath.

History: ❖Blitz was born in atlas to a wolf faunus father and a lizard faunus mother.His younger sister ended up being a brown rabbit faunus whole blitz was a pangolin faunus with a very noticeable trait.
Starting from around age five Blitz always seemed to find himself in a fight with kids his age and occasionally with older children as well.Surprisingly he often came out victorious and seemingly unscathed,while his opponent or opponents came out bruised and once or twice unconscious.By age seven his father began to take notice of his natural gift and began training his strength and skill.
Fast forward two years and Blitz has been developing quite well skill-wise,his skill being above average for his age,finally his fighting style is much more organized and not just random punches and kicks.By now he’s taken a great interest in becoming a hunter himself due to stories told by his father,filled with adventure and action.
Fast forward another five years and Blitz has drastically changed,managing his time between training with his father and taking lessons from his mother,his personality has changed as well,going from childish and fun-loving to serious and volatile,mood shifting from slight inconveniences.He’s changed physically as well,reaching nearly his fathers height and becoming quite muscular for his age.

Username: thirtyspacechickens-go Name: Jasper Aurum ( "Jasper" is a type of quartz that is typically red or yellow in color; "Aurum" is Latin for "gold" ) Nickname: Jasper Race: Human Ethnicity: Caucasian Gender: Female Orientation: Bisexual Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Academy: Atlas Age: 18 Birthday: September 3rd Height: 5'3'' Combat Type: Long-medium range, bow and arrow / Close-range, short swords Weapon(s): "Hodekin" ( derives from a Germanic folklore about a helpful house-sprite ). A long bow that she uses to shoot dust-tipped arrows at her enemies. It is made of incredibly hard material and can be used as a blunt/melee weapon as well. It can transform in a few different ways. The bow staff is able to separate in the middle to turn into two short swords, long parts jut out protecting her arms from damage. It can also separate in the middle to turn into one short sword and a moderate shield. If in a pinch, she can also use her arrows by hand as weapons. Dust Skill: ❖ Wind: Moderate-High skill, used most in her arrows to make them faster ❖ Water: Moderate-Low skill, predominantly uses this to have ice dust ❖ Ice: Low-level skill, combines wind and water to freeze opponents with arrows ❖ Burn: Low-level skill ❖ Lightening: Low-level skill Semblance:Currently Undiscovered, Jasper has not yet unlocked her semblance
❖ Sleight of Hand: Once unlocked, Jasper will be able to camouflage herself to her surroundings for brief periods of time. As a rather passive semblance, she can use it longer than most. She can pass the effects onto those who are touching her. Though, the more people she uses it for, the less time it will work.
Strengths: ✔ Bravery: She is always ready and willing to go into battle, or to help someone in need. She's the type to see someone hurt and just run to them. ✔ Planner: When she takes the time to think, Jasper is rather good at planning out missions. She's not as much of a leader as she is a strategist. ✔ Unbiased: Jasper is able to look at situations from all sides. She feels that having prejudices stunts a person's growth as a good, moral person. ✔ Persuasive: Her methodical problem-solving helps to get her out of sticky situations. She once convinced someone she was a princess for a free meal. ✔ Healer: In addition to fighting skills, Jasper is also well-versed in some medical skills. She always has a self-made first aid kit on her person.
Weaknesses: ✘ Egotistical: Jasper is incredibly a little full of herself. With such high confidence in her fighting skills, for example, its hard for her to say no to a fight. ✘ Mobility: While she is fast and agile herself, her weapon's rather large size makes quick maneuvering difficult. Breaking her bow down helps, though. ✘ Single Fighter: She is not very good at fighting together as a team, tending to move ahead of everyone else, make her own decisions, and fight alone. ✘ Tactless: Jasper can accidentally overlook the feelings of others. She doesn't necessarily have a problem with others, but she's not the most sensitive. ✘ Dependent: Rather dependent on having her weapon for battles, Jasper isn't very good in a hand-to-hand style fighting. She would likely need protection.
Likes: ✔ Going hunting ✔ Bright, sunny mornings ✔ Hot tea and coffee ✔ Getting dressed up ✔ Target practice ✔ Video games ✔ Organizing her planner ✔ Traveling by boat
Dislikes: ✘ Cold weather months ✘ Taking naps during the day ✘ Slowing down ✘ Being forced to do something ✘ Losing ✘ Obnoxious people ✘ Politicians ✘ Her twin sister
Personality: ❖ Vain ❖ Determined ❖ Stubborn ❖ Cheery ❖ Observant ❖ Social ❖ Vindictive ❖ Honest ❖ Carefree
❖ Jasper is quite vain and full of herself. She is confident in her looks, her weaponry skills, her wit, her... everything, quite honestly. This is a fact she doesn't hide. In fact, she doesn't mind being called vain one bit. Why be upset over words when she knew herself? Its easy for her to brush off rumors or insults in lieu of the solidification she has being herself. Of course, this isn't an attractive trait to some. She is also rather social, so despite her attitude not agreeing with everyone, she isn't lost for friends. Her sunny disposition and cheeriness doesn't scare anyone away, that's for sure. Once she sets her mind to something, Jasper won't quit until its done. She's tenacious in that light. Another tenacity she holds is her urge to run directly into danger. If someone asks her for help, she helps. This can be more troubling than heroic sometimes, though, in the case of traps and other possible negative outcomes. She doesn't care, though. "I can fight my way out of anything, anyway. I'd rather die knowing I was trying to help someone." While she believes in second chances, she also believes that some actions garner revenge, and she tends to hold grudges rather easily. A lot of the time, if one of her friends is mad at someone, Jasper will be too. She can be petty in those cases. Honestly, its like night and day sometimes with this girl.
History: ❖ Jasper hails from Vacuo and carries the simultaneously laid-back and ready-to-fight attitude most people from Vacuo have. She always loved Vacuo, despite all the negatives that came along with living there. Harsh landscapes, disregard for laws, and general disposition of the locals were all factors against the land. Jasper didn't mind, though, and she sort of naturally fit in there. Rather than right out breaking laws, she found ways around them. It was the same thing in concept, but lying to get what she wanted was easier than getting into direct trouble. Once, she was out to dinner and convinced the waiter and manager that she was royalty, and her meal was given to her for free. Another time, she swindled her first batch of dust from a vendor, claiming that she was doing a routine safety inspection of their product. Eventually, her actions caught up to her and her parents were informed. Her mother was heartbroken, but her father was outright angry.
❖ Her father, Ash, was from Atlas and was strict with both Jasper and her twin sister, Olive. Their mother, Willow, was born in Vacuo and has never left it, afraid of different lifestyles and cultures. Olive was calmer than Jasper, almost her opposite. Where Jasper was loud and exclamatory, Olive was meager and reserved. As a result, Olive was more liked by her parents than Jasper was. In reality, Olive just didn't break any rules and never got punished like Jasper did, so she made connections that weren't there. As a result of Jasper's delusions and assumptions, tensions grew between the family, namely the twins. They argued constantly, mostly due to Jasper's insecurities. Their father was harsher towards Jasper due to this and frequently punished Jasper anytime there was an argument. She was punished a lot.
❖ So, when her parents were informed of all of Jasper's wrongdoings, her father was angry to say the least. It was like the straw that broke the camel's back. Jasper and her father both had a lot of pride and, after a long screaming match, stopped talking to each other for two months. Her mother tried to play mediator, as did Olive, but there was nothing they could do to help the strained relationship developing between Jasper and Ash. Eventually, they all came to an agreement. Jasper would be enrolled into a combat school to try and find a way to channel all of her energy. It helped for a while, but she just had too much curiosity and grit to give up doing what she enjoyed. She wanted to live her life for herself, freely, not under the constraints of rules. Her father blamed Vacuo for these types of thoughts, saying if she didn't live there then she wouldn't have turned out "so out of control."
❖ Her parents, mostly her father, came to a decision without Jasper's knowledge. After she finished with combat school, instead of enrolling her into Shade Academy, they sent her to Atlas. Ash claimed it was for more structured learning. "I want you to be part of something bigger than just fighting for money or lying and stealing," which she can understand from a parents' point of view... but its her life, dammit! Why should she have to live for them? Jasper fought tooth and nail to avoid Atlas Academy, but eventually it was Olive that convinced her to go along with it. Her twin explained that at least she would be away from their father and would have some independence, despite how the school was generally run. Honestly, she could do with being away from her entire family. She still held a grudge against Olive. Jasper begrudgingly agreed to attend the prestigious academy, her father still having known some people that could pull a few stings. She hates the militarized style of the school, but she is trying her best to succeed and prove her father wrong. She can make it here, and she will graduate with her freedom.
Outfits: ❖ Day-to-Day: As seen in the accompanying image [x]. Worn outside of classroom, during class outings off campus, and in battle. There are spandex shorts under the skirt. This also serves as her battle outfit as it is modified to hold her bow, arrows, and dust capsules. ❖ Academy Uniform: As seen here. Worn during class and during some school functions. After classes, she likes to change into different, more comfortable clothing. ❖ Causal Attire: Examples seen here: [1][2][3][4]. Worn when she is not expecting any fighting, out on the town, shopping, going out to eat, or any number of "causal" things. She likes wearing dresses and loose clothes. ❖ Formal Attire: As seen here. Worn during school dances or other formal settings. She loves dressing up. Most often, she'll put intricate braids in her long hair for formal events.
Items: ❖ Personal scroll ❖ Hallowed out arrowheads ❖ Old pearl necklace ❖ Family photo album
Other: ❖ Aura Color: Yellow, with a hue of black ❖ Theme: Robin Hood - "Robin Hood is a heroic outlaw in English folklore who, according to legend, was a highly skilled archer and swordsman. He is said to rob from the rich and give to the poor. While the outlaw often shows great skill in archery, swordplay and disguise, his feats are no more exaggerated than those of characters in other ballads." Jasper can be likened to Robin Hood in many aspects: her heroism, archery and swordplay, her desire to stand up for the little guy, and her general distaste for politicians. ❖ Archetype: Happy Hero
Username: Rengato Name: Lyon Garnet Nickname: Net, Gar, Cursed Race: Human Ethnicity: Caucasian Gender: Male Orientation: Heterosexual Alignment: Chaotic Good Academy: Beacon Graduate Age: 33 Birthday: 1/1 Height: 6' 5" Combat Type: Close-range/long-range, light weaponry/slashing/piercing. Weapon(s): ❖ Blitzkrieg: Blitzkrieg is a large broadsword that Lyon uses to cut down enemies and break through their defenses. What is unique about his weapon is that it is capable of splitting apart by pulling a trigger to form two longswords that are outfitted with a gun barrel. In their combined form, they act much like a double-barrel shotgun with the force in which they fire. After they separate, however, they are more like revolvers in the way they fire.
Lyon built this weapon after the fall of Beacon and the death of his sister. It was a grim reminder of what he needed to become. Dust Skill: ❖ Burn Dust: High Skill ❖ Water Dust: Low Skill Skill ❖ Lightning Dust: Medium-High Skill Skill ❖ Air Dust: Medium Skill Semblance: ❖ Probability: Lyon's Semblance is a very unique ability. It is not activated, and it essentially affects his life constantly. It is simple as well. Should there be chance involved with something, it will always go in favor of him. Even should he wish for it not to, he will always have the odds in his favor. This mostly manifests itself as good luck, yet it can also cause absolute miracles to happen. The only problem is that anyone on the other side of that probability is matched with equally bad odds. Coin flip? He always wins. Door prizes? They always go to him. Both of you are hanging onto a rope that will snap from your combined weight? Well, there is also that chance you will slip from his hand to preserve his life. It is a sad Semblance that burdens him constantly.
Relationships: ❖ Ian Garnet - Father (Deceased) ❖ Lily Garnet - Mother (Deceased) ❖ Rowan Garnet - Brother (Disowned) ❖ Lucy Garnet - Sister (Deceased) ❖ Velvet Scarlatina - They have mutual feelings, but he keeps his distance. (His Semblance keeps him away.)
Strengths: ✔ Experience - Lyon's been a Huntsman for fifteen years, ever since the fall of Beacon. His level of experience is particularly high due to the need to become strong quick during such a tough time in history. ✔ Swordplay - Lyon's swordplay is top-notch, some of the best Beacon has ever produced. Additionally, Lyon has mastered using two swords at once. ✔ Marksmanship - Due to his Semblance, Lyon's become known for the fact that he never misses his mark. Regardless of whether someone deflects his attacks, they will land in some form. ✔ Burn/Lightning Dust: Lyon specialized in Burn and Lightning dust, learning all the various uses for it. ✔ Fancy Footwork: Lyon is known for his ability to maneuver around the battlefield in a way that perplexes friends and foes alike. He can traverse just about any distance using the most interesting ways of travel. ✔ Agility: Lyon's speed works in favor with his footwork, allowing him to outmaneuver many opponents. ✔ Calm Demeanor: Despite the situation, Lyon always seems to have a rather confident look on his face. By pushing down his fear, he allows himself rational thoughts throughout a fight. ✔ Aura Control: Lyon, being an accomplished Huntsman, has proper control of his aura like most. He has a constant cloak of it and has even learned a few aura techniques. These include aura barriers and the ability to extend his aura out from his blades a little. He can also increase cutting potential in his blades with aura. ✔ Semblance: His semblance allows probability to always fall in favor of him at the expense of those around him. Most of the time, this manifests itself as his ability to not get hit by projectiles, dodge something narrowly that should have almost assuredly hit him, or even moving across unstable footing regardless of the fact that it should have most likely collapsed from his wait.
Weaknesses: ✘ Overconfident: Lyon's Semblance and his general calm demeanor have also led to him forming a sort of overconfidence that is detrimental at times. While he may be perfectly fine, he forgets that others, should they be fighting with him, are not so lucky. ✘ Semblance: Due to the nature of his Semblance, it is only natural that others usually find themselves on the other side of it. Coin flips end in loss for the other person. People become confident they can do what he is doing, such as stepping on something unstable. Worst of all are the situations where he and someone he cares about are both in danger. Fate will always choose to let him live if it is one or the other. ✘ Balanced Fighter: Because he is an overall decent fighter he is also at a disadvantage. Rather than being focused on one way of fighting, he has spread himself thin a bit, causing him to be lacking in areas that a Huntsman who specializes in those areas might excel in. ✘ Distant: He puts too much effort into keeping a distance from others in a fight. He does not want his good luck to negatively affect them. Likewise, he keeps people at an emotional distance. ✘ Too Lucky: Sometimes having luck favoring you too much can be just as much as a disadvantage. Lyon has to take extra precautions to make sure everything goes according to plans based on his Semblance's tendencies.

Dislikes: ✘ Luck-Based Games ✘ Gray Colors ✘ Being Alone ✘ His Semblance ✘ Living in the Past ✘ Blueberry-Walnut Summer Slam Fruit Punch
Personality: ❖ Lyon is what some might describe as a troubled individual. Not only has he gone through some traumatic experiences, but his personality has been affected by those events in the worst possible way. To begin with, he has a very negative opinion of the world and many things within it, especially when it comes to fortune. He curses the very foundation that these ideas were created on. Most of the time he can be seen somberly watching over targets, trying to accomplish some sort of mission, or simply wasting his time in some tavern. Dragging his feet through life is almost natural to him, and for the most part he does not experience the same joy that others might. There have been times when he was happy, and people have managed to make him happy through continuous effort. Yet, his Semblance always finds a way of hurting someone close to him, and that leads him to push everyone away once again in an attempt to protect them. In a way, it is his way of showing that he cares for others.
Worst of all, he suffers from "survivor's guilt" that has caused many problems in his life. All of the tragedies that happen to others because of fortune favoring him he has taken as his own, personal demons. All throughout his life he has caused the deaths of all his family members in one way or another, or at least those are his personal beliefs on the matter. By taking the blame for all of their tragedies, he has managed to delude himself into being at fault for what was inevitably just probability. Fate happened to make it be chance, and that chance landed in his favor. Regardless of whether or not his Semblance made it guaranteed to end favorably for him, it was inevitably all up to chance for such situations ever occurring in the first place. That is what most people tell him anyway, especially Velvet. Velvet tries her best to keep him in check, to make sure he does not do anything stupid or get himself killed because of his guilt. In fact, she is probably the only reason that he still manages to keep some resemblance to his past self.
When not moping our dreading the idea of being around others, Lyon can be a rather entertaining guy. The mask of his past self that he wears is a rather nice one. A man who seems to just go with the flow and walk away with the best of everything. Cool, collected, there's nothing about him that screams his true self. By hiding behind the shell of "the calm demeanor" he manages to make it through life one way or another. It is also because of this facade that a lot of people place their faith in him. His confidence and willingness to face the most dangerous tasks are so endearing to people that they want to be around him. The only problem is that his motives are entirely different from what they might imagine. After all, the more you fight the more likely your luck will run out someday, right? His Semblance had to have some sort of limit... and if it did not. Well then, he will accomplish a great many things in life if that is the case. Either way, he manages to fulfill the goals that he sets for himself.
History: ❖ Lyon's life had started out pretty good compared to most people, even his own family. Born as the eldest child, he was given every opportunity to excel by his parents. They sent him to school to become a Huntsman, and he ended up having some of the best grades in the class. Whenever he did not know the answer to a problem, he would somehow manage to correctly guess all of the right answers. In combat, the tide of battle almost never favored his opponents, and this led to him being one of the most skilled combatants in his class. This, however, all appeared to be nothing but absolute luck to all of his peers, teachers, and even his family. Sometimes it infuriated them, sometimes they were simply amazed. "You won't always be lucky forever!" His father once shouted at him due to the young man's carefree attitude. Regardless of his father's opinion, Lyon managed to get in to Beacon Academy and start attending school there to become a right and proper Huntsman.
Beacon was actually the turning point of his life. The days of laughter and playfulness were some of the best. Every now and again he still catches himself remembering the first time he met Velvet Scarlatina or the food catastrophe that RWBY and JNPR caused in the lunchroom. Those were the best days of his life, yet that soon came to an end during the Vytal Festival. The Fall of Beacon, was the darkest time in his life, and that was reflected by most of the events that occurred during and after it. During the attack, Lyon had found himself in a relatively safe portion of campus. Having not made it far in the Vytal Festival and having no interest in watching others fight, he had ended up being in a secluded section of the courtyard that was mostly safe. Chance had happened to be in his favor again... yet it was at the expense of his teammates. They had attended the final rounds and were caught up in the disaster. One of them was taken from this world, and another one was mauled severely by the enemy grimm.
After the fall, Lyon made his way back home. Upon arriving, however, he found that the village he had grown up in was being attacked by grimm. The despair caused by the fall of Beacon Academy had driven them into a frenzy. Thus, they attacked the village. His mother and father were victims already by the time he found them. He did, however, manage to find his sister with her stuffed rabbit. His brother was nowhere in sight, having been shipped off to Patch to begin training as a Huntsman. Lyon fled his destroyed house with his sister, quickly moving through hordes of grimm in his attempt to escape. The two of them eventually found themselves at a bridge that had been built several decades beforehand. Lyon figured he would try his luck and cross the bridge. It, however, fell out from underneath him, and he barely managed to grab a hold of the cliff on the other side. Holding onto the cliff and his sister at the same time, he knew the chances of them surviving were slim. That was when luck happened to take a nasty turn as, by chance, his sister's sweaty hand slipped from his. Despair filled his entire being as he watched her plummet into the river below, only her bunny left behind in his backpack.
After the death of his family, Lyon did not know how to properly function. He could not understand what was going on or why it was happening to him. It was not until much later that he found out about the nature of his own Semblance. Through years of repeated attempts of risking his life and gambling, he discovered that probability would never turn its back on him, and this revelation led to his suffering. Survivor's guilt was what plagued him, and all of his thoughts constantly went to the idea of it being his fault that probability had sacrificed his sister. He plummeted into despair, and with that despair he pushed everyone around him away. Lyon began to train himself, to become the best Huntsman he could possibly be, and take on missions by himself. He became known as the man that would take on multiple suicide missions and walk out without a scratch on him. Over time, he even became a legend among certain groups of Huntsman. The ones that discovered the truth about him, however, knew that he was genuinely cursed. While they did not know the specifics, they knew that anyone that associated with him was only asking for trouble.
This is how he led his life for nearly a decade... at least until Velvet Scarlatina showed up in his life once again. A sweet smile and genuine patience, she did her best to bring him back from the brink of despair. It was with her that he found himself creating the false idea of himself as a confident individual that simply went with the flow. It was with Velvet that he found himself acting like he used to, even if he was lying to himself. Eventually, however, he realized that probability would turn its back on Velvet in favor of Lyon, and that was not something he would stand for. One day, after talking over a mission with Ozpin, he simply vanished from Beacon. That was three years ago. Ever since then he has kept in contact with most people at Beacon through messenger birds, mail, and other various methods. Most people have not even seen his face in all that time. Those outside of his circle simply acknowledge that at one point in Vale's history there was "a cursed man that was just too lucky." It is better that way anyway, to become nothing more than someone who can watch over others without having to worry about them.
Outfits: ❖ He usually just wears some form of button-up shirt and dark pants. He does, however, have a preferred out fit as pictured above. ❖ Sometimes he wears a cloak whenever he is trying to move around incognito.
Items: ❖ He has a photo of his old team that he carries with him. ❖ He keeps a stuffed bunny that his sister had made before her passing. ❖ He keeps "lucky" rabbit's foot on him at all times. It was a gift. It dangles from his belt. ❖ His Scroll
Other: ❖ Whenever he shows up, it almost certainly means that he's found some sort of trouble due to how his Semblance works. ❖ His Survivor's Guilt is what drove him and his brother apart. ❖ He seems to have some other abilities that he's been hiding. It'd take some real work to get him to reveal them.
My heart is broken. Why you do this? I don't even want to accept this 'cause I'm afraid you'll be even meaner to this poor muffin. He's so sad! He doesn't deserve to be hurt! Bah. ...Bah.
Anyway, accepted. I'm gunna go...sulk now or something.

The anguish and sorrow she felt, the sadness she had when one of her family members died, or the hurting of fatigue, or hopelessness of being buried alive, she can now make that person also feel those, so long as she felt them herself, and to the extent that she felt them, no higher. However, it depends on the individuals mental capacity and thought to determine how strong it takes effect or how long they also feel it. And she has been exposed and forced through a lot, and even gone as far to build her arsenal and willingly expose herself to more than most should ever hope to endure.

Personality: ❖ Calm and quiet, almost porcelain and gentle at distance or first glance. But a devious, mastermind, deviant, and outright cut throat in how she talks, thinks, and rationalizes.
History: ❖ The Galway family, Having relocated to Vacuo in a steadily relocating and reestablishing of land, property and homesteading, her Grandparents not wanting to settle near larger cities but preferring more open areas.
Finally finding a place they could call home, they begot a son, having already had a daughter. Their son inherited the farm, the land, and eventually found a wife of his own and begot three kids of their own, a son and two girls, the middle child of the bunch being Heather. Growing up living although not rough but under good work and understanding everyone must do their part, and those who do not, should not be carried by others who do. This was enforced into her head by her father, a strong working man just as her grandfather was the short time she knew him before his passing as well as her grandmother's.
It wasn't until much later, when Heather was 15 in fact, that upon the untimely death of her mother, that her father then lost all that he was, something about him changed, so much so that both she and her brother and older sister had to take up all the work. Their father eventually disappearing for longer times. However, when he was seen, it was mostly by Heather, or rather, he saw and was watching her when they couldn't see him. It wasn't until shortly months later, the oldest sister grew quiet and distant, eventually leaving without word to the family. Days later, it was reported that she was found dead, among other things, at a local camp site many had used.
Then, with heavy hearts and little yield in the daily life, Heather and her brother decided they would be off, leaving what they had left behind, and starting over once again, but together, just the two of them... but that thought was short lived, their father caught word and approached them, instantly killing the brother with a large kukri blade her father often carried. Mortified and in shock, her father over powered her, and then lead her away.
An hour later, after much agony and fighting back but to no avail, she finally managed to get hold of the kukri, hitting and killing her father. Shaken, bloody, mortified, and now alone, she left, running, running, not knowing where or what she was going to do or who she would find. She found no one, no hunters, no huntress's, no police, anybody at all. It was there, she formulated her plans, where her teachings that were set in, set in to a much harder and more lethal effect over her mind. Vanishing now with her new found motivation and ideals. Finding herself in the company and services of the likes of the White Fang, Small and Large groups of gangs, mafias and criminal societies, and spreading her influence slowly throughout the underground and scuttlebutt of many groups and foundations who have happily accepted or requested her services over the years. As well as making her fair share of enemies, espesially that of small pockets within the White Fang, and becoming a key person of interest throughout Remnant by huntsmen and huntresses. Having been spreading her ideals, her corruption and the demon deep in her mind corrupting her further, having not been seen or heard of in quite some time. Nearly 3 years infact. Why surface now? Why make herself known during these relatively peaceful times... what new job or objective does the Gray Gale have in store.
lolol Evil Morty theme, no no! It's good! Haha. Also, I read kukri and got really excited but then read machete instead of knife. xD Anyway, I just wanna confirm some things with the Captain, but you're looking pretty good!
