██ ╫ A R C H E T Y P E ╫
█NATURAL ABILITIES █Primary Talent ▬ Creatively combining his semblance, faunus traits, and natural skills for a way of fighting that is both flashy and dangerous as well as completely his own. █Faunus Trait/Bonus Talent ▬ Webs: Just as spiders can produce silk from spinnerets at the end of their abdomen, Eli can produce webs through spinners located within his wrist. Most spiders have three pairs of spinnerets, which are supplied by silk glands within the abdomen. Eli has three within each wrist. His body, much larger than s spider is able to tolerate the extra silk glands to be able to produce more webs than the tiny arachnids are usually capable of. The silk is composed of a mixture of protein crystals in a matrix of amino acids. This structure makes it one of the strongest of natural fibers, about half as strong as steel. But unlike steel, spider silk is very extensible, so it actually is "tougher" than steel. The substance is very durable and very sticky, making it extremely useful in combat situations. Seeing as it is an organic material created inside of him, a living being, the webs do share his aura. While this gives his webs some protection, the extra coverage stretches the protection he holds over his own body. While the webs are difficult to cut through, any sort of aura coated weapon would have an easier time and be able to manage the task much more quickly. He does have the ability to sling his webs, however only within a fifteen foot radius of him. They are strong enough to support his weight, but not much more than that. Unless using multiple webs and spinning them together, the strands would snap if supporting more than 250 lbs. █OTHER TALENTS Eli is extremely perceptive and observant. He is able to quickly access the situations, even in the most dire of circumstances and come up with a rational and feasible plan. The exception to that is when someone strikes his temper. That being said, in spite of his size, the boy is surprisingly quick and agile. █LEARNT ABILITIES █Strongest Skill ▬ His strength makes him a force to be reckoned with. █Weakest Skill ▬ Eli has terrible aim, literally could not hit the mark to save his life. His true weakness lie much deeper beneath the surface. He has a temper and when its poked he loses all rationality. When provoked he becomes violent and reckless. Anger clouds his mind and his judgement, inhibiting the other skills he has, such as being tactful. He also has no regard for his own life if others are in danger. He will throw his life away on a whim if it means even the chance of saving someone else. █Other Skills ▬ His creative and quick thinking helps him to excel in battle strategies and tactics. Eli has excellent reflexes, allowing him to respond to a situation or attack faster than the average person. It gives him an edge because his tactics often take people off guard. He is a real charmer and enjoys making new friends, he usually fairly good at it as well. His easy going nature and charming smile make him seem less threatening and more approachable which he never fails to use to his advantage.
█LIKES █ ▬ He's an excellent climber, be it rocks or trees and enjoys doing just that █ ▬ He respects those who respect him in return █ ▬ He's a sucker for any type of meat █ ▬ Sharp things █ ▬ He's always liked cats █DISLIKES █ ▬ Anyone who mistreats and uses those weaker than themselves █ ▬ He is not a fan of his leafy greens █ ▬ Boredom █ ▬ He'd never admit it, but he hates snakes █ ▬ His biggest fear is that he will fail at his one task to protect Cali █PERSONALITY TRAITS █Nature ▬ While Eli is a generally sane person, he can be like a lighter to gasoline. One second he could be calm and collected and the next consumed by a fiery rage. He struggles to control his temper and has a tendency to be aggressive and violent when angry. On the other hand, he is not easily angered. There are a few select things th as to get to him and other than that he is a charming, if not slightly cocky, guy. He has a hero complex, and will throw himself needlessly into danger to protect those around him without a second thought. He also suffers from a bit of martyrdom and has accepted his death so long as it be given upon another. █Vernacular ▬ Eli has a deep voice that can be charming, cocky, or intimidating depending on his mood. █Positive Traits ▬ Loyal, Protective, Humorous, Charming, Perceptive █Negative Traits ▬ Violent, Aggressive, Hot-headed, Sometimes Cocky
██ ╫ H I S T O R Y ╫
█BACKGROUND ▬ Eli grew up to a couple of loving parents in a small city in Atlas. In a city mostly full of humans, he and his parents lived on the outskirts to try and attempt to avoid the discrimination. Apart from the occasional teasing due to his faunus heritage, he lived a fairly normal life. He had no siblings despite his parents trying so hard for another child. They even came close a couple times, but it always ended in despair. Often times his house got a little lonely with no one to play with, but his parents offered him all the love and affection he could ever ask for, so he couldn't complain too much. When he turned seven years old, he would meet the person that became his best friend. His only friend. The person he cared for more than any other soul on the earth and would protect with every fiber of his being. Walking home from school one day he noticed a group of guys surrounding the young girl. Approaching the scene he could immediately sense that something was wrong. The tiny child was in near tears, a bloody scrape on one of her knees and a bruise across her cheek. Something about seeing her like that, despite the fact that the girl was a stranger, awakened a rage with in him. Seeing someone so innocent, lost, and helpless being treated in such away. Used and abused simply because she was an easy target. Eli did more than stand up to the bullies. He went in with a ferocity equal to that of a lion. Being outnumbered as he was, he received quite the beating himself, but not before getting in a few good punches himself.
Eli learned a lot that day. About the girl, about himself. Her name, why those kids had been picking on her, and all about a very peculiar ability of hers. The majority of the world thought it made her dangerous, but he saw the good in her. He gave her a pair of gloves to help keep the rot in check and began trying to teach her to control her semblance and to use it for good rather than destruction. He stuck by her side, hugged her when she cried, wiped her tears, even when it hurt him as well. He learned that for some reason, he wanted nothing more than to care for and protect this girl. Always. From that day on, the two were tied at the hip. They did everything together. Eli took her under his wing, determined to protect her from the harsh words of society as much as he wanted to protect her from herself. Eventually she began to do the same to him when individuals tried to speak up about his own nature. Over the years they grew closer. It got to the point where there was hardly a moment they spent apart. She was often over at his house and even his parents began to care for the girl. They loved her like the second child they always wanted, the child they were never able to have. Calista wasn't welcome at her own home, her parents shared the same views as the rest of the world and submitted her to the worst of abuse. Physical and emotional. She tried to hide it from him, but it didn't take the young boy long to put it together. He was perceptive. With Eli and his parents Cali had a second home, a real home... a family even. They cared for her, cooked for her, did all the things parents were supposed to do. All the things her parents never did. They even let her stay there with them most nights, as her parents hardly noticed their absence anyway.
Sure, they each had their problems, their bullies, their endeavors, but none if that seemed to matter so long as they were together. Together they were strong, unstoppable, unbreakable. As they grew older they grew closer and with both of their semblances developing it was soon discovered that in a way his semblance could repel hers. It helped him keep her out of trouble as well as keeping her from hurting him or others. However, it was a tricky situation because even though he could repel her semblance, she couldn't repel his. It was a constant battle of trying to find that happy median where neither of them accidentally hurt the other. In reality, neither of them minded the pain if it meant they got to be close. Whether it was the trust of their friendship or some other strange, unheard of phenomenon, over time she began to grow better at controlling her rot and keeping it in check when She was around him.
However, as most good things do, it all crumpled to a tragic end at the mere age of twelve. Their city was attacked by a group of anti-faunas radicals trying to prove a point. No one was safe until they got their way. There were fires wrought, guns shot, blades wielded. It was complete chaos. The people tried to evacuate, get as many people out as they could, but before they could make it far, the grim came. It was complete chaos. The only thought on Eli's mind was Cali. He had to make sure she was safe. He had to get her out. Nothing else mattered. Just that one single entity in the midst of all the darkness... and it consumed him. He searched the frantic crowd to no avail, but eventually came across her parents. After a bit of yelling, screaming, and angry tears, they relayed to him that she'd been crushed beneath the embers of their burning home. They couldn't get her out and she wasn't worth the effort. "We're better off." They said. "And so are you." Once again he was consumed by that fiery rage. White hot, pumping thick, molten adrenaline through his veins. He did not so much as give them a second glance before dashing back into a city in ruins, a city of flames.
Eli sprinted as fast as his legs would take him, straight back to her house. The building was in flames but that didn't deter the young boy in the slightest. He burst through the embers, the fire the ash. He ignored the pain, the sizzling of his flesh, the smoke that filled his lungs. He choked on the thick billowy clouds, they burnt his eyes and blurred his vision, but still he did not give up. He called out her name and followed the sound of her tiny voice. It took him time to pull the beam that had collapsed off of her frame, but eventually eventually he managed to drag her out of the wreckage, and not a moment too soon. However, once again there wasn't time for relief, for just as they escaped a fiery death, they were fronted with another enemy. A large beowolf approached the young children from behind. Eli, supporting most of Cali's weight, didn't have time to react before it slashed its massive claws down his back. Crying out in pain he fell forward, accidentally tugging Cali with him. He was certain they were going to die right there and while the thought was terrifying, all he could think of was how he had failed her. She was going to die because he hadn't been strong enough or fast enough. To this day he's not sure if the fate they met was better or worse.
The children were saved, but by no other than the bandits who had attacked their city to begin with. The kids were bound, blindfolded and tossed in a cage. They were brought to their hide out and neither of them like talking much about the tortures they witnessed there. The bandits were determined to bring as much pain to the young faunus boy as possible. Burnt, bleeding, and utterly drained, he surely wouldn't make it long at this rate, especially with the additional beatings. For so many years it had always been him protecting her, but she did something then that he wouldn't truly understand until years ago. Something he would become eternally thankful for. As the bandits discovered the true potency of her semblance, when they started getting hurt when handling her, they grew increasingly angry and they took that anger out on her. It distracted them from the half-dead spider boy beside her. He would never forgive himself for the pain she had to go through because of him, but that pain may very well have saved his life. They were held there for two weeks, both undergoing unthinkable acts, though Cali took the Brute of it for him. The day they escaped was also the day they learned of their parents death. Of course they could never be certain, but after hearing the bandits story of a group of four that had been tracked down and eliminated by the grim... they could take a guess. Not only had Eli's parents loved Cali like their own, but because of her parents they had not only lost her but their own son as well. Surely there had been yelling and tears, which was sure to draw the grim to them. It was confirmed there were no survivors and at that point the two children became useless to the bandits. They could no longer use them as leverage and as thus, it was decided they were to be killed. They very well might have been, were it not for Cali's semblance. To this day, whenever someone judges her, whenever she is doubting herself, she reminds her of this moment and how much good her semblance is capable of. It saved them.
By focusing her semblance, she was able to decay their ropes as well as the metal bars of the cage they were being held in. It took time, effort, just about every ounce of aura they had but they were able to escape the camp. Not without taking on damage, on top of what they had received with the initial attack. They ran, as they didn't know what else to do. They got lost, spent a night a lone in the cold forest, but eventually they ran into a group that had survived a similar grim invasion, and thus began the downfall of Atlas. From that time on, it was just the two of them against the world. They made it out of the destruction of Atlas and to the sanctuary of Vale. It was a struggle, to kids on their own, no parents, no one to rely on but each other, and Cali's semblance spiraling out of control. It was getting to the point where the things she touched, the clothes she wore, everything was decaying at a much faster rate. It was hard to keep up on it all. It was getting harder for him to touch up with her, yet he put up with the discomfort anyway, as much for his good as his own. As much as he worked to protect her and keep her safe, he needed her as much as she needed him. After everything else they had gone through, they made it through this as well. It own deepened their connection and the feeling that as long as they were together, they could do anything, survive anything. Eventually when the time came, they made the decision to join Beacon Academy. It made sense of Eli. He was a protector, it was in his nature. He convinced her that it would help her learn to control her semblance and to use it for good. Whether she really wanted to or only agreed for his sake, he was never entirely sure, but they went together all the same.
██ ╫ I N V E N T O R Y ╫
█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Bombyx █ ▬ Eli's weapon is rather simple in concept and rather special in the sense that is made special for him. No one else could take it and wield it for him because it uses both his faunus trait and his semblance to create a deadly show of force. The weapon its self are two gloved gauntlets. At the first knuckle of every finger (excluding pinky and thumb), there is a a curved, 8 inch blade. These blades are retractile, for obvious reasons. At the base of each of his wrists, there is a small compartment capable of launching his webs through them. The gloves are also capable of harnessing his electricity, making it easier for him to focus the current, and thus you have it, electric webs. On the underside of each of his forearms, there are to other compartments capable of storing and launching dust. He can use the dust to either amplify his own electricity, or to create other effects as well, each effect lasting for 5 posts. █Melee Form ▬ Six claw-like blades protruding from the base of each finger that allow him to quite literally slash through his enemies. The blades are extremely sharp and durable, carving easily through flesh and soft armor. However, if he tried to hit something harder the blades would likely shatter. The blades retract and extend quickly, allowing him to travel freely and safely but be ready for a fight at a moment's notice. █Ranged Form ▬ His ranged form mostly works with his webs, paired with his own electricity when his semblance is active. He can use his webs in multiple ways, the first being six (three on each hand) 10 foot cords that he can whip through the air. The chords are braided strands of multiple webs, making them much more durable than one strand alone. Despite their durability, they are not sharp and can not much damage on their own. Their biggest purpose is to distract his opponents and knock them off balance. With enough speed getting hit by one might cause a significant amount of pain but no lasting damage other than a welt. He can also electrify them, either with dust or his semblance if his aura is capable and cause damage that way. Their biggest purpose is to wrap around the limbs of his enemies and pull them closer so that he can use the blades on them. The other way that he can use his webs in this form is by creating a type of net that he can then launch at his enemies to trap them. He can use just the webs, or electrify it with his semblance, as too how far the electricity reaches, it his completely dependent upon his semblance level. The webs are sticky and woven together like this it can be extremely difficult to escape, but as stated before, they can be cut through with some effort. Using his webs this way does use them much quicker than he can produce them. Being able to store some of his webs helps, but he is still limited to one net every 10 posts. █Other Form(s) ▬ The only other way he can use his weapon is two launch dust vials from the compartments on his forearm. They will collide with his target, the effect decisive on the type of dust he uses. They can be launched up to 25 feet but are not accurate at all. It's better suited to create barriers or other effects on the ground rather than aiming for an actual enemy. █Ammo Type ▬ His own webs, but can also use dust █ ▬ Eli's weapon's biggest draw back and weakness is that it his a primarily close ranged weapon. Even in it's ranged form, it is designed to trap or bring his enemies closer so that he can make the final blow himself. Whike he can launch dust, it is not accurate enough to activate out an enemy, only block or delay. This puts him constantly on the front lines and directly in harms way. There is also the fact that his gloves and blades are not capable of blocking attacks from larger weapons. He has to dodge or redirect the attack with his webs. This leaves him vulnerable to larger swords, axes, hammers, etc. There is also the fact that it is highly dependent upon his faunus skill and his semblance, while it makes it unique and deadly, it gives him extreme limits. If he exhausts himself, his weapon is useless.
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ A broadsword (35 inches) just in case he can't use his primary weapon. █ ▬ █ ▬ █ITEMS █ ▬ Dust vials █ ▬ █ ▬
██ ╫ S E M B L A N C E ╫
█*NAME ▬ Inpulsa █*AURA COLOR ▬ Cyan █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ Elias's semblance gives him the basic control over electricity. While initially he cannot shoot lightning bolts from his fingers, it allows him, with great concentration, to focus an electric current through objects, including that of his own body. By doing this he can create several different effects. He can use it as a barrier by covering a surface or area to keep enemies from touching or approaching it. He can electrify his webs to give his attacks a shocking boost. He can focus it over his body to keep someone from touching him, or just in his palms and shock someone. He could also send out currents of electricity through the ground or through water, to shock someone that way. With each level his electricity grows more potent and the area at which he can spread it increases. █*LEVEL 0 ▬ At this stage in his semblance the shock from it is not fatal though it is enough to set someone back. If strong enough its possible they could move through it, but their movements would be slow and strained. It will cause immense pain and use a massive amount of energy; their aura will drain the longer they are exposed. If focusing it on a specific object, it's surface area cannot be larger than his own body, that being said he can also cover his entire body. He can spread the current through the ground in a five foot radios from him. If enacting the engery on his webs, he can cover ten feet before it dissipates. He can keep his semblance active in these ways for 3 posts before needing a 8 post cool down. If he would rather, he can choose to launch the electricity through the ground in one straight line to hit a single target ten feet out from him. He can repeat this this action three times (1 post in between) before needing a 10 post cool down. He may use 2 of his abilities in one session, but will need a 25 post cool down afterwards. █*LEVEL 1▬ In this level the strength of his electricity increases significantly; it is now strong enough to hold anyone touched by it completely in place unless said target has a way to counter it. Same as before, it will cause a target extreme pain and drain their aura. He can now focus his current on objects twice his size. The radius at which he can spread the current increases to ten feet. When enacting his semblance on his webs, he can spread the current over fifteen feet. He can now keep his semblance active for four posts before needed a 8 post cool down. The distance he can launch a single stream through the ground increases to twenty feet out from him. He can repeat this 5 times (1 post in between) before needing a 10 post cool down. He can still only use 2 of these abilities but will only need a 15 post cool down █*LEVEL 2▬ From here the potency of his electric shock grows further. Anyone touched by the electricity would suffer a significant drain in aura. The target would suffer muscle spasms and find it difficult to move afterwards. At this level he can focus the current on any object three times his body size.The radius at which he can spread it over increases to fifteen feet. He can keep his semblance active this way for 5 posts before needing a 10 post cool down. If chosen instead he can still launch individual streams through the ground, he can now do this 5 times before needing a 10 post cool down. At this level his ability to control electricity further increases. He can now shoot single bolts of lightning through the air and aim them at a person or object. He cannot aim these bolts more than twenty-five feet away from him. He can only do this three times before needing a 10 post cool down. He can use three of his abilities in one setting, but will then need a 30 post cool down. █*LEVEL 3 ▬ At this level his electricity is strong enough to knock any person who comes in contact with it off their feet. Their body would undergo muscle spasms and aura draining. A person would not be able to move voluntarily while submitted to this level of electricity. They would be left feeling sore and stiff and tired afterwards. At this level he can focus the current on any object four times his body size. The radius at which he can spread it over increases to twenty feet. He can keep his semblance active this way for 6 posts before needing a twelve post cool down. If chosen instead he can still launch individual streams through the ground, he can now do this 6 times (1 post between) before needing a 10 post cool down. He can now shoot five single bolts of lightning (1 post in between) before needing a 10 post cool down. He cannot aim these bolts more than fifty feet away from him. He also unlocks a new ability at this level. He can now shoot a bolt of lightning in the air and create a localized lightning storm. The storm covers a fifty foot area and will last five posts. He will need an 15 post cool down before being able to do this again. He can now use 3 of his abilities with only a 25 post cool down, unless he chooses to create the storm. He then can only use 2 abilities and must go through a 30 post cool down. █*DRAWBACKS ▬ One of the biggest drawbacks of his semblance is that lightning can be unpredictable and it's easy for his teammates and allies to accidentally get caught in the crossfire. The most dangerous drawback is that the electricity can actually start to burn him from the inside out if he ever presses himself too far or drains his aura. The energy would literally whiplash and turn inwards on him, ravaging is cells and organs and effectively killing him. If an enemy has fast enough reflexes, it would be easy to dodge his attacks because you can easily see the electricity coming. His eyes also glow before he uses an ability, giving him away and acting as another warning to his enemies.

❖❖❖Assessment❖❖❖ Hello, my name is Youroka Kage, and I'll be judging your profile today!
❖Ok! My first questions for you is about your Faunus ability. Do you have the ability to sling them like Spiderman? If you can do that, how far can you fire it? If not like spiderman, do you have to touch someone to apply the webs? can you control each sack separately, or do they work as a unit. Do your webs have an aura to them, since they are made out of organic material inside of a being that has Aura? If someone has a blade that is covered in Aura, does that cut through the webs easier? There might be more questions once I get these answers. ❖ This is less of a question, and more of a suggestion. The blades being as long as they are, it might be a detriment to have a blade on the thumbs. The reason I suggest this is because your thumb blade wound not only have to go between two blades if you were punching, but it might also press into your hand, causing yourself injuries. ❖ One thing I want to mention about your semblance is remember, your electricity is not going to be as strong as dust. ❖ With level 0 and 1 How far can you use your webs, without the electricity dissipating? ❖ With level 3 of the Semblence, I'm worried about the electricity knocking someone completely out with a single hit. Mostly because people's tolerance to Electricity is very much like alcohol. Here is an example of that. I would be fine with it knocking them down, or hitting them with so much force that it knocks off their shoes. (That actually happens.) Heck I think it would be cool to send a bolt into the sky, starting a localized Lightening storm.

He stuck by her side, hugged her when she cried, wiped her tears, even when it hurt him as well. He learned that for some reason, he wanted nothing more than to care for and protect this girl. Always. From that day on, the two were tied at the hip. They did everything together. Eli took her under his wing, determined to protect her from the harsh words of society as much as he wanted to protect her from herself. Eventually she began to do the same to him when individuals tried to speak up about his own nature. Over the years they grew closer. It got to the point where there was hardly a moment they spent apart. She was often over at his house and even his parents began to care for the girl. They loved her like the second child they always wanted, the child they were never able to have. Calista wasn't welcome at her own home, her parents shared the same views as the rest of the world and submitted her to the worst of abuse. Physical and emotional. She tried to hide it from him, but it didn't take the young boy long to put it together. He was perceptive. With Eli and his parents Cali had a second home, a real home... a family even. They cared for her, cooked for her, did all the things parents were supposed to do. All the things her parents never did. They even let her stay there with them most nights, as her parents hardly noticed their absence anyway.
Sure, they each had their problems, their bullies, their endeavors, but none if that seemed to matter so long as they were together. Together they were strong, unstoppable, unbreakable. As they grew older they grew closer and with both of their semblances developing it was soon discovered that in a way his semblance could repel hers. It helped him keep her out of trouble as well as keeping her from hurting him or others. However, it was a tricky situation because even though he could repel her semblance, she couldn't repel his. It was a constant battle of trying to find that happy median where neither of them accidentally hurt the other. In reality, neither of them minded the pain if it meant they got to be close. Whether it was the trust of their friendship or some other strange, unheard of phenomenon, over time she began to grow better at controlling her rot and keeping it in check when She was around him.
However, as most good things do, it all crumpled to a tragic end at the mere age of twelve. Their city was attacked by a group of anti-faunas radicals trying to prove a point. No one was safe until they got their way. There were fires wrought, guns shot, blades wielded. It was complete chaos. The people tried to evacuate, get as many people out as they could, but before they could make it far, the grim came. It was complete chaos. The only thought on Eli's mind was Cali. He had to make sure she was safe. He had to get her out. Nothing else mattered. Just that one single entity in the midst of all the darkness... and it consumed him. He searched the frantic crowd to no avail, but eventually came across her parents. After a bit of yelling, screaming, and angry tears, they relayed to him that she'd been crushed beneath the embers of their burning home. They couldn't get her out and she wasn't worth the effort. "We're better off." They said. "And so are you." Once again he was consumed by that fiery rage. White hot, pumping thick, molten adrenaline through his veins. He did not so much as give them a second glance before dashing back into a city in ruins, a city of flames.
Eli sprinted as fast as his legs would take him, straight back to her house. The building was in flames but that didn't deter the young boy in the slightest. He burst through the embers, the fire the ash. He ignored the pain, the sizzling of his flesh, the smoke that filled his lungs. He choked on the thick billowy clouds, they burnt his eyes and blurred his vision, but still he did not give up. He called out her name and followed the sound of her tiny voice. It took him time to pull the beam that had collapsed off of her frame, but eventually eventually he managed to drag her out of the wreckage, and not a moment too soon. However, once again there wasn't time for relief, for just as they escaped a fiery death, they were fronted with another enemy. A large beowolf approached the young children from behind. Eli, supporting most of Cali's weight, didn't have time to react before it slashed its massive claws down his back. Crying out in pain he fell forward, accidentally tugging Cali with him. He was certain they were going to die right there and while the thought was terrifying, all he could think of was how he had failed her. She was going to die because he hadn't been strong enough or fast enough. To this day he's not sure if the fate they met was better or worse.
The children were saved, but by no other than the bandits who had attacked their city to begin with. The kids were bound, blindfolded and tossed in a cage. They were brought to their hide out and neither of them like talking much about the tortures they witnessed there. The bandits were determined to bring as much pain to the young faunus boy as possible. Burnt, bleeding, and utterly drained, he surely wouldn't make it long at this rate, especially with the additional beatings. For so many years it had always been him protecting her, but she did something then that he wouldn't truly understand until years ago. Something he would become eternally thankful for. As the bandits discovered the true potency of her semblance, when they started getting hurt when handling her, they grew increasingly angry and they took that anger out on her. It distracted them from the half-dead spider boy beside her. He would never forgive himself for the pain she had to go through because of him, but that pain may very well have saved his life. They were held there for two weeks, both undergoing unthinkable acts, though Cali took the Brute of it for him. The day they escaped was also the day they learned of their parents death. Of course they could never be certain, but after hearing the bandits story of a group of four that had been tracked down and eliminated by the grim... they could take a guess. Not only had Eli's parents loved Cali like their own, but because of her parents they had not only lost her but their own son as well. Surely there had been yelling and tears, which was sure to draw the grim to them. It was confirmed there were no survivors and at that point the two children became useless to the bandits. They could no longer use them as leverage and as thus, it was decided they were to be killed. They very well might have been, were it not for Cali's semblance. To this day, whenever someone judges her, whenever she is doubting herself, she reminds her of this moment and how much good her semblance is capable of. It saved them.
By focusing her semblance, she was able to decay their ropes as well as the metal bars of the cage they were being held in. It took time, effort, just about every ounce of aura they had but they were able to escape the camp. Not without taking on damage, on top of what they had received with the initial attack. They ran, as they didn't know what else to do. They got lost, spent a night a lone in the cold forest, but eventually they ran into a group that had survived a similar grim invasion, and thus began the downfall of Atlas. From that time on, it was just the two of them against the world. They made it out of the destruction of Atlas and to the sanctuary of Vale. It was a struggle, to kids on their own, no parents, no one to rely on but each other, and Cali's semblance spiraling out of control. It was getting to the point where the things she touched, the clothes she wore, everything was decaying at a much faster rate. It was hard to keep up on it all. It was getting harder for him to touch up with her, yet he put up with the discomfort anyway, as much for his good as his own. As much as he worked to protect her and keep her safe, he needed her as much as she needed him. After everything else they had gone through, they made it through this as well. It own deepened their connection and the feeling that as long as they were together, they could do anything, survive anything. Eventually when the time came, they made the decision to join Beacon Academy. It made sense of Eli. He was a protector, it was in his nature. He convinced her that it would help her learn to control her semblance and to use it for good. Whether she really wanted to or only agreed for his sake, he was never entirely sure, but they went together all the same.
██ ╫ I N V E N T O R Y ╫
█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Bombyx █ ▬ Eli's is rather simple in concept and rather special in the sense that is made special for him. No one else could take it and wield it for him because it uses both his faunus trait and his semblance to create a deadly show of force. The weapon its self are two gloved gauntlets. At the first knuckle of every finger, the is a a curved, 8 inch blade. These blades are retractile, for obvious reasons. AT the base of each of his wrists, there is a small compartment capable of launching his webs through them. The gloves are also capable of harnessing his electricity, making it easier for him to focus the current, and thus you have it, electric webs. On the underside of each of his forearms, there are to other compartments capable of storing and launching dust. He can use the dust to either amplify his own electricity, or to create other effects as well. █Melee Form ▬ Eight claw-like blades protruding from the base of each finger that allow him to quite literally slash through his enemies. The blades are extremely sharp and durable, carving easily through flesh and soft armor. However, if he tried to hit something harder they blades would likely shatter. The blades retract and extend quickly, allowing him to travel freely and safely but be ready for a fight at a moment's notice. █Ranged Form ▬ His ranged form mostly works with his webs, paired with his own electricity when his semblance is active. He can use his webs in multiple ways, the first being six (three on each hand) 10 foot cords that he can whip through the air. The chords are braided strands of multiple webs, making them much more durable than one strand alone. Despite their durability, they are not sharp and can not much damage on their own. Their biggest purpose is to distract his opponents and knock them off balance. With enough speed getting hit by one might cause a significant amount of pain but no lasting damage other than a welt. He can also electrify them, either with dust or his semblance if his aura is capable and cause damage that way. Their biggest purpose is to wrap around the limbs of his enemies and pull them closer so that he can use the blades on them. The other way that he can use his webs in this form is by creating a type of net that he can then launch at his enemies to trap them. He can use just the webs, or electrify it with his semblance, as too how far the electricity reaches, it his completely dependent upon his semblance level. The webs are sticky and woven together like this it can be extremely difficult to escape, but as stated before, they can be cut through with some effort. Using his webs this way does use them much quicker than he can produce them. Being able to store some of his webs helps, but he is still limited to one net every five posts. █Other Form(s) ▬ The only other way he can use his weapon is two launch dust vials from the compartments on his forearm. They will collide with his target, the effect decisive on the type of dust he uses. █Ammo Type ▬ His own webs, but can also use dust █ ▬ Eli's weapon's biggest draw back and weakness is that it his a primarily close ranged weapon. Even in it's ranged form, it is designed to trap or bring his enemies closer so that he can make the final blow himself. This puts him constantly on the front lines and directly in harms way. There is also the fact that his gloves and blades are not capable of blocking attacks from larger weapons. He has to dodge or redirect the attack with his webs. This leaves him vulnerable. There is also the fact that it is highly dependent upon his faunus skill and his semblance, while it makes it unique and deadly, it gives him extreme limits. If he exhausts himself, his weapon is useless.
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ A broadsword, just in case he can't use his primary weapon. █ ▬ █ ▬ █ITEMS █ ▬ 8 vials of dust █ ▬ █ ▬

█*NAME ▬ Inpulsa █*AURA COLOR ▬ Cyan █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ Elias's semblance gives him the basic control over electricity. While initially he cannot shoot lightning bolts from his fingers, it allows him, with great concentration, to focus an electric current objects, including that of his own body. By doing this he can create several different effects. He can use it as a barrier by covering a surface or area to keep enemies from touching or approaching it. He can electrify his webs to give his attacks a shocking boost. He can focus it over his body to keep someone from touching him, or just in his palms and shock someone. He could also send out currents of electricity through the ground or through water, to shock someone that way. With each level his electricity grows more potent and the area at which he can spread it increases. █*LEVEL 0 ▬ At this stage in his semblance the shock from it is not fatal though it is enough to set someone back. If strong enough its possible they could move through it, but their movements would be slow and strained. It will cause immense pain and use a massive amount of energy; their aura will drain the longer they are exposed. If focusing it on a specific object, it's surface area cannot be larger than his own body. He can spread the current through the ground in a five foot radios from him. If enacting the engery on his webs, he can cover ten feet before it dissipates. He can keep his semblance active in these way for three posts before needing a five post cool down. If he would rather, he can choose to launch the electricity through the ground in one straight line to hit a single target ten feet out from him. He can repeat this this action three times before needing a five post cool down. █*LEVEL 1▬ In this level the strength of his electricity increases significantly; it is now strong enough to hold anyone touched by it completely in place unless said target has a way to counter it. Same as before, it will cause a target extreme pain and drain their aura. He can now focus his current on object two times his size. The radius at which he can spread the current increases to ten feet. Once again, when enacting his semblance on his webs, he can spread the current over fifteen feet. He can now keep his semblance active for five posts before needed a four post cool down. The distance he can launch a single stream through the ground increases to twenty feet out from him. He can repeat this five times before needing a four post cool down. █*LEVEL 2▬ From here the potency of his electric shock grows further. Anyone touched by the electricity would suffer a significant drain in aura as well as the chance of internal damage. The target would suffer muscle spasms and find it difficult to move afterwards. At this level he can focus the current on any object three times his body size.The radius at which he can spread it over increases to fifteen feet. He can keep his semblance active this way for seven posts before needing a three post cool down. If chosen instead he can still launch individual streams through the ground, he can now do this seven times before needing a three post cool down. At this level his ability to control electricity further increases. He can now shoot single bolts of lightning through the air and aim them at a person or object. He cannot aim these bolts for than twenty-five feet away from him. He can only do this three times before needing a five post cool down. █*LEVEL 3 ▬ At this level his electricity is strong enough to knock any person who comes in contact with it off their feet. Their body would undergo muscle spasms and aura draining. A person would not be able to move voluntarily while submitted to this level of electricit. They would be left feeling sore and stiff and tired afterwards. At this level he can focus the current on any object four times his body size. The radius at which he can spread it over increases to twenty feet. He can keep his semblance active this way for nine posts before needing a three post cool down. If chosen instead he can still launch individual streams through the ground, he can now do this nine times before needing a three post cool down. He can now shoot five single bolts of lightning. He cannot aim these bolts for than fifty feet away from him. He can only do this five times before needing a three post cool down. He also unlocks a new ability at this level. He can now shoot a bolt of lightning in the air and create a localized lightning storm. The storm covers a fifty foot area and will last five posts. He will need an eight post cool down before being able to do this again. █*DRAWBACKS ▬ One of the biggest drawbacks of his semblance is that lightning can be unpredictable and it's easy for his teammates and allies to accidentally get caught in the crossfire. The most dangerous drawback is that the electricity can actually start to burn him from the inside out if he ever presses himself too far or drains his aura. The energy would literally whiplash and turn inwards on him, ravaging is cells and organs and effectively killing him.

█HAIR ▬ Bluish-Black █CLOTHING ▬ Dark colors and black jeans, combat boots. █ACCESSORIES ▬ Always a leather jacket █EYES ▬ Bright Blue █BUILD ▬ Lean yet muscular █TATTOOS ▬ N/A █SCARS ▬ A few burn marks scattered all over his body, claw Mark's along his back, several other cuts scattered over his skin. █MARKINGS/FAUNUS TRAITS ▬ Ita subtle, but you can see the markings on his wrists where he shoots his webs from.
██ ╫ A R C H E T Y P E ╫
█NATURAL ABILITIES █Primary Talent ▬ Creatively combining his semblance, faubus traits, and natural skills for a way of fighting that is both flashy and dangerous as well as completely his own. █Faunus Trait/Bonus Talent ▬ Webs: Just as spiders can produce silk from spinnerets at the end of their abdomen, Eli can produce webs through spinners located within his wrist. Most spiders have three pairs of spinnerets, which are supplied by silk glands within the abdomen. Eli has three within each wrist. His body, much larger than s spider is able to tolerate the extra silk glands to be able to produce more webs than the tiny arachnids are usually capable of. The silk is composed of a mixture of protein crystals in a matrix of amino acids. This structure makes it one of the strongest of natural fibers, about half as strong as steel. But unlike steel, spider silk is very extensible, so it actually is "tougher" than steel. The substance is very durable and very sticky, making it extremely useful in combat situations. Seeing as it is an organic material created inside of him, a living being, the webs do share his aura. While this gives his webs some protection, the extra coverage stretches the protection he holds over his own body. While the webs are difficult to cut through, any sort of aura coated weapon would have an easier time and be able to manage the task much more quickly. He does have the ability to sling his webs, however only within a fifteen foot radius of him. They are strong enough to support his weight, but not much more than that. Unless using multiple webs and spinning them together, the strands would snap if supporting more than 215 lbs. █OTHER TALENTS Eli is extremely perceptive and observant. He is able to quickly access the situations, even in the most dire of circumstances and come up with a rational and feasible plan. The exception to that is when someone strikes his tempor. When angry he is violent and agressive and tends to rely on his brute strength rather than rational thought. He is strong sure, but his fighting style and weapon rely more on tactfulness than that level of rashness. Being angry throws him off. That being said, in spite of his size, the boy has developed a surprising level of agility. █LEARNT ABILITIES █Strongest Skill ▬ His strength makes him a force to be reckoned with. █Weakest Skill ▬ Eli has terrible aim but his true weakness lie much deeper beneath the surface. He has a temper and when its poked he loses all rationality. He becomes violent and reckless. He also has no reguard for his own life if others are in danger. █Other Skills ▬ Eli is a quick thinker and while he excels at coming up with plans in the moment, but given more time he can come up with strategic and tactical battle plans for missions. He has always been creative, but he uses it to his advantage. It gives him an edge because his tactics often take people off guard. He is a real charmer and enjoys making new friends, he usually fairly good at it as well.
█LIKES █ ▬ He's an excellent climber, be it rocks or trees and enjoys doing just that █ ▬ He respects those he respect him █ ▬ He's a sucker for any type of meat █ ▬ Sharp things █ ▬ He's always liked cats █DISLIKES █ ▬ Anyone who mistreats and uses those weaker than themselves █ ▬ He is not a fan of his leafy greens █ ▬ Boredom █ ▬ He'd never admit it, but he hates snakes █ ▬ His biggest fear is that he will fail at his one task to protect Cali █PERSONALITY TRAITS █Nature ▬ While Eli is a generally saner person, he can be like a lighter to a match. One second he could be calm and collected and the next co summed by a fiery rage. He struggles to control his temper and has a tendency to be aggressive and violent when angry. On the other hand, he is not easily angered. There are a few select things th as t get to him and other than that his is a charming, if not slightly cocky, guy. █Vernacular ▬ Eli has a deep voice that can be charming, cocky, or intimidating depending on his mood. █Positive Traits ▬ Loyal, Protective, Humorous, Charming, Perceptive █Negative Traits ▬ Violent, Aggressive, Hot-headed, Sometimes Cocky
██ ╫ H I S T O R Y ╫
█BACKGROUND ▬ Eli grew up to a couple of loving parents in a small city in Atlas. In a city mostly full of humans, he and his parents lived on the outskirts to try and attempt to avoid the discrimination. Apart from the occasional teasing due to his faunus heritage, he lived a fairly normal life. He had no siblings despite his parents trying so hard for another child. They even came close a couple times, but it always ended in despair. Often times his house got a little lonely with no one to play with, but his parents offered him all the love and affection he could ever ask for, so he couldn't complain too much. When he turned seven years old, he would meet the person that became his best friend. His only friend. The person he cared for more than any other soul on the earth and would protect with every fiber of his being. Walking home from school one day he noticed a group of guys surrounding the young girl. Approaching the scene he could immediately sense that something was wrong. The tiny child was in near tears, a bloody scrape on one of the knee and a bruise across her cheek. Something about seeing her like that, despite the fact that the girl was a stranger, awakened a rage with in him. Seeing someone so innocent, lost, and helpless being treated in such away. Used and abused simply because she was an easy target. Eli did more than stand up to the bullies. He went in with a ferocity equal to that of a lion. Being outnumbered as he was, he received quite the beating himself, but not before getting in a few good punches himself.
Eli learned a lot that day. About the girl, about himself. Her name, why those kids had been picking on her, and all about a very peculiar ability of hers. The majority of the world thought it made her dangerous, but he saw the good in her. He gave her a pair of gloves to help keep the rot in check and began trying to teach her to control her semblance and to use it for good rather than destruction. He stuck by her side, hugged her when she cried, wiped her tears, even when it hurt him as well. He learned that for some reason, he wanted nothing more than to care for and protect this girl. Always. From that day on, the two were tied at the hip. They did everything together. Eli took her under his wing, determined to protect her from the harsh words of society as much as he wanted to protect her from herself. Eventually she began to do the same to him when individuals tried to speak up about his own nature. Over the years they grew closer. It got to the point where there was hardly a moment they spent apart. She was often over at his house and even his parents began to care for the girl. They loved her like the second child they always wanted, the child they were never able to have. Calista wasn't welcome at her own home, her parents shared the same views as the rest of the world and submitted her to the worst of abuse. Physical and emotional. She tried to hide it from him, but it didn't take the young boy long to put it together. He was perceptive. With Eli and his parents Cali had a second home, a real home... a family even. They cared for her, cooked for her, did all the things parents were supposed to do. All the things her parents never did. They even let her stay there with them most nights, as her parents hardly noticed their absence anyway.
Sure, they each had their problems, their bullies, their endeavors, but none if that seemed to matter so long as they were together. Together they were strong, unstoppable, unbreakable. As they grew older they grew closer and with both of their semblances developing it was soon discovered that in a way his semblance could repel hers. It helped him keep her out of trouble as well as keeping her from hurting him or others. However, it was a tricky situation because even though he could repel her semblance, she couldn't repel his. It was a constant battle of trying to find that happy median where neither of them accidentally hurt the other. In reality, neither of them minded the pain if it meant they got to be close. Whether it was the trust of their friendship or some other strange, unheard of phenomenon, over time she began to grow better at controlling her rot and keeping it in check when She was around him.
However, as most good things do, it all crumpled to a tragic end at the mere age of twelve. Their city was attacked by a group of anti-faunas radicals trying to prove a point. No one was safe until they got their way. There were fires wrought, guns shot, blades wielded. It was complete chaos. The people tried to evacuate, get as many people out as they could, but before they could make it far, the grim came. It was complete chaos. The only thought on Eli's mind was Cali. He had to make sure she was safe. He had to get her out. Nothing else mattered. Just that one single entity in the midst of all the darkness... and it consumed him. He searched the frantic crowd to no avail, but eventually came across her parents. After a bit of yelling, screaming, and angry tears, they relayed to him that she'd been crushed beneath the embers of their burning home. They couldn't get her out and she wasn't worth the effort. "We're better off." They said. "And so are you." Once again he was consumed by that fiery rage. White hot, pumping thick, molten adrenaline through his veins. He did not so much as give them a second glance before dashing back into a city in ruins, a city of flames.
Eli sprinted as fast as his legs would take him, straight back to her house. The building was in flames but that didn't deter the young boy in the slightest. He burst through the embers, the fire the ash. He ignored the pain, the sizzling of his flesh, the smoke that filled his lungs. He choked on the thick billowy clouds, they burnt his eyes and blurred his vision, but still he did not give up. He called out her name and followed the sound of her tiny voice. It took him time to pull the beam that had collapsed off of her frame, but eventually eventually he managed to drag her out of the wreckage, and not a moment too soon. However, once again there wasn't time for relief, for just as they escaped a fiery death, they were fronted with another enemy. A large beowolf approached the young children from behind. Eli, supporting most of Cali's weight, didn't have time to react before it slashed its massive claws down his back. Crying out in pain he fell forward, accidentally tugging Cali with him. He was certain they were going to die right there and while the thought was terrifying, all he could think of was how he had failed her. She was going to die because he hadn't been strong enough or fast enough. To this day he's not sure if the fate they met was better or worse.
The children were saved, but by no other than the bandits who had attacked their city to begin with. The kids were bound, blindfolded and tossed in a cage. They were brought to their hide out and neither of them like talking much about the tortures they witnessed there. The bandits were determined to bring as much pain to the young faunus boy as possible. Burnt, bleeding, and utterly drained, he surely wouldn't make it long at this rate, especially with the additional beatings. For so many years it had always been him protecting her, but she did something then that he wouldn't truly understand until years ago. Something he would become eternally thankful for. As the bandits discovered the true potency of her semblance, when they started getting hurt when handling her, they grew increasingly angry and they took that anger out on her. It distracted them from the half-dead spider boy beside her. He would never forgive himself for the pain she had to go through because of him, but that pain may very well have saved his life. They were held there for two weeks, both undergoing unthinkable acts, though Cali took the Brute of it for him. The day they escaped was also the day they learned of their parents death. Of course they could never be certain, but after hearing the bandits story of a group of four that had been tracked down and eliminated by the grim... they could take a guess. Not only had Eli's parents loved Cali like their own, but because of her parents they had not only lost her but their own son as well. Surely there had been yelling and tears, which was sure to draw the grim to them. It was confirmed there were no survivors and at that point the two children became useless to the bandits. They could no longer use them as leverage and as thus, it was decided they were to be killed. They very well might have been, were it not for Cali's semblance. To this day, whenever someone judges her, whenever she is doubting herself, she reminds her of this moment and how much good her semblance is capable of. It saved them.
By focusing her semblance, she was able to decay their ropes as well as the metal bars of the cage they were being held in. It took time, effort, just about every ounce of aura they had but they were able to escape the camp. Not without taking on damage, on top of what they had received with the initial attack. They ran, as they didn't know what else to do. They got lost, spent a night a lone in the cold forest, but eventually they ran into a group that had survived a similar grim invasion, and thus began the downfall of Atlas. From that time on, it was just the two of them against the world. They made it out of the destruction of Atlas and to the sanctuary of Vale. It was a struggle, to kids on their own, no parents, no one to rely on but each other, and Cali's semblance spiraling out of control. It was getting to the point where the things she touched, the clothes she wore, everything was decaying at a much faster rate. It was hard to keep up on it all. It was getting harder for him to touch up with her, yet he put up with the discomfort anyway, as much for his good as his own. As much as he worked to protect her and keep her safe, he needed her as much as she needed him. After everything else they had gone through, they made it through this as well. It own deepened their connection and the feeling that as long as they were together, they could do anything, survive anything. Eventually when the time came, they made the decision to join Beacon Academy. It made sense of Eli. He was a protector, it was in his nature. He convinced her that it would help her learn to control her semblance and to use it for good. Whether she really wanted to or only agreed for his sake, he was never entirely sure, but they went together all the same.

█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Bombyx █ ▬ Eli's is rather simple in concept and rather special in the sense that is made special for him. No one else could take it and wield it for him because it uses both his faunus trait and his semblance to create a deadly show of force. The weapon its self are two gloved gauntlets. At the first knuckle of every finger, the is a a curved, 8 inch blade. These blades are retractile, for obvious reasons. AT the base of each of his wrists, there is a small compartment capable of launching his webs through them. The gloves are also capable of harnessing his electricity, making it easier for him to focus the current, and thus you have it, electric webs. On the underside of each of his forearms, there are to other compartments capable of storing and launching dust. He can use the dust to either amplify his own electricity, or to create other effects as well. █Melee Form ▬ Eight claw-like blades protruding from the base of each finger that allow him to quite literally slash through his enemies. The blades are extremely sharp and durable, carving easily through flesh and soft armor. However, if he tried to hit something harder they blades would likely shatter. The blades retract and extend quickly, allowing him to travel freely and safely but be ready for a fight at a moment's notice. █Ranged Form ▬ His ranged form mostly works with his webs, paired with his own electricity when his semblance is active. He can use his webs in multiple ways, the first being six (three on each hand) 10 foot cords that he can whip through the air. The chords are braided strands of multiple webs, making them much more durable than one strand alone. Despite their durability, they are not sharp and can not much damage on their own. Their biggest purpose is to distract his opponents and knock them off balance. With enough speed getting hit by one might cause a significant amount of pain but no lasting damage other than a welt. He can also electrify them, either with dust or his semblance if his aura is capable and cause damage that way. Their biggest purpose is to wrap around the limbs of his enemies and pull them closer so that he can use the blades on them. The other way that he can use his webs in this form is by creating a type of net that he can then launch at his enemies to trap them. He can use just the webs, or electrify it with his semblance, as too how far the electricity reaches, it his completely dependent upon his semblance level. The webs are sticky and woven together like this it can be extremely difficult to escape, but as stated before, they can be cut through with some effort. Using his webs this way does use them much quicker than he can produce them. Being able to store some of his webs helps, but he is still limited to one net every five posts. █Other Form(s) ▬ The only other way he can use his weapon is two launch dust vials from the compartments on his forearm. They will collide with his target, the effect decisive on the type of dust he uses. █Ammo Type ▬ His own webs, but can also use dust █ ▬ Eli's weapon's biggest draw back and weakness is that it his a primarily close ranged weapon. Even in it's ranged form, it is designed to trap or bring his enemies closer so that he can make the final blow himself. This puts him constantly on the front lines and directly in harms way. There is also the fact that his gloves and blades are not capable of blocking attacks from larger weapons. He has to dodge or redirect the attack with his webs. This leaves him vulnerable. There is also the fact that it is highly dependent upon his faunus skill and his semblance, while it makes it unique and deadly, it gives him extreme limits. If he exhausts himself, his weapon is useless.
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ A broadsword, just in case he can't use his primary weapon. █ ▬ █ ▬ █ITEMS █ ▬ 8 vials of dust █ ▬ █ ▬

█*NAME ▬ Inpulsa █*AURA COLOR ▬ Cyan █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ Elias's semblance gives him the basic control over electricity. While initially he cannot shoot lightning bolts from his fingers, it allows him, with great concentration, to focus an electric current objects, including that of his own body. By doing this he can create several different effects. He can use it as a barrier by covering a surface or area to keep enemies from touching or approaching it. He can electrify his webs to give his attacks a shocking boost. He can focus it over his body to keep someone from touching him, or just in his palms and shock someone. He could also send out currents of electricity through the ground or through water, to shock someone that way. With each level his electricity grows more potent and the area at which he can spread it increases. █*LEVEL 0 ▬ At this stage in his semblance the shock from it is not fatal though it is enough to set someone back. If strong enough its possible they could move through it, but their movements would be slow and strained. It will cause immense pain and use a massive amount of energy; their aura will drain the longer they are exposed. If focusing it on a specific object, it's surface area cannot be larger than his own body. He can spread the current through the ground in a five foot radios from him. If enacting the engery on his webs, he can cover ten feet before it dissipates. He can keep his semblance active in these way for three posts before needing a five post cool down. If he would rather, he can choose to launch the electricity through the ground in one straight line to hit a single target ten feet out from him. He can repeat this this action three times before needing a five post cool down. █*LEVEL 1▬ In this level the strength of his electricity increases significantly; it is now strong enough to hold anyone touched by it completely in place unless said target has a way to counter it. Same as before, it will cause a target extreme pain and drain their aura. He can now focus his current on object two times his size. The radius at which he can spread the current increases to ten feet. Once again, when enacting his semblance on his webs, he can spread the current over fifteen feet. He can now keep his semblance active for five posts before needed a four post cool down. The distance he can launch a single stream through the ground increases to twenty feet out from him. He can repeat this five times before needing a four post cool down. █*LEVEL 2▬ From here the potency of his electric shock grows further. Anyone touched by the electricity would suffer a significant drain in aura as well as the chance of internal damage. The target would suffer muscle spasms and find it difficult to move afterwards. At this level he can focus the current on any object three times his body size.The radius at which he can spread it over increases to fifteen feet. He can keep his semblance active this way for seven posts before needing a three post cool down. If chosen instead he can still launch individual streams through the ground, he can now do this seven times before needing a three post cool down. At this level his ability to control electricity further increases. He can now shoot single bolts of lightning through the air and aim them at a person or object. He cannot aim these bolts for than twenty-five feet away from him. He can only do this three times before needing a five post cool down. █*LEVEL 3 ▬ At this level his electricity is strong enough to knock any person who comes in contact with it off their feet. Their body would undergo muscle spasms and aura draining. A person would not be able to move voluntarily while submitted to this level of electricit. They would be left feeling sore and stiff and tired afterwards. At this level he can focus the current on any object four times his body size. The radius at which he can spread it over increases to twenty feet. He can keep his semblance active this way for nine posts before needing a three post cool down. If chosen instead he can still launch individual streams through the ground, he can now do this nine times before needing a three post cool down. He can now shoot five single bolts of lightning. He cannot aim these bolts for than fifty feet away from him. He can only do this five times before needing a three post cool down. He also unlocks a new ability at this level. He can now shoot a bolt of lightning in the air and create a localized lightning storm. The storm covers a fifty foot area and will last five posts. He will need an eight post cool down before being able to do this again. █*DRAWBACKS ▬ One of the biggest drawbacks of his semblance is that lightning can be unpredictable and it's easy for his teammates and allies to accidentally get caught in the crossfire. The most dangerous drawback is that the electricity can actually start to burn him from the inside out if he ever presses himself too far or drains his aura. The energy would literally whiplash and turn inwards on him, ravaging is cells and organs and effectively killing him.

██ ╫ A R C H E T Y P E ╫
█NATURAL ABILITIES █Primary Talent ▬ Creatively combining his semblance, faunus traits, and natural skills for a way of fighting that is both flashy and dangerous as well as completely his own. █Faunus Trait/Bonus Talent ▬ Webs: Just as spiders can produce silk from spinnerets at the end of their abdomen, Eli can produce webs through spinners located within his wrist. Most spiders have three pairs of spinnerets, which are supplied by silk glands within the abdomen. Eli has three within each wrist. His body, much larger than s spider is able to tolerate the extra silk glands to be able to produce more webs than the tiny arachnids are usually capable of. The silk is composed of a mixture of protein crystals in a matrix of amino acids. This structure makes it one of the strongest of natural fibers, about half as strong as steel. But unlike steel, spider silk is very extensible, so it actually is "tougher" than steel. The substance is very durable and very sticky, making it extremely useful in combat situations. Seeing as it is an organic material created inside of him, a living being, the webs do share his aura. While this gives his webs some protection, the extra coverage stretches the protection he holds over his own body. While the webs are difficult to cut through, any sort of aura coated weapon would have an easier time and be able to manage the task much more quickly. He does have the ability to sling his webs, however only within a fifteen foot radius of him. They are strong enough to support his weight, but not much more than that. Unless using multiple webs and spinning them together, the strands would snap if supporting more than 250 lbs. █OTHER TALENTS Eli is extremely perceptive and observant. He is able to quickly access the situations, even in the most dire of circumstances and come up with a rational and feasible plan. The exception to that is when someone strikes his temper. That being said, in spite of his size, the boy is surprisingly quick and agile. █LEARNT ABILITIES █Strongest Skill ▬ His strength makes him a force to be reckoned with. █Weakest Skill ▬ Eli has terrible aim, literally could not hit the mark to save his life. His true weakness lie much deeper beneath the surface. He has a temper and when its poked he loses all rationality. When provoked he becomes violent and reckless. Anger clouds his mind and his judgement, inhibiting the other skills he has, such as being tactful. He also has no regard for his own life if others are in danger. He will throw his life away on a whim if it means even the chance of saving someone else. █Other Skills ▬ His creative and quick thinking helps him to excel in battle strategies and tactics. Eli has excellent reflexes, allowing him to respond to a situation or attack faster than the average person. It gives him an edge because his tactics often take people off guard. He is a real charmer and enjoys making new friends, he usually fairly good at it as well. His easy going nature and charming smile make him seem less threatening and more approachable which he never fails to use to his advantage.
█LIKES █ ▬ He's an excellent climber, be it rocks or trees and enjoys doing just that █ ▬ He respects those who respect him in return █ ▬ He's a sucker for any type of meat █ ▬ Sharp things █ ▬ He's always liked cats █DISLIKES █ ▬ Anyone who mistreats and uses those weaker than themselves █ ▬ He is not a fan of his leafy greens █ ▬ Boredom █ ▬ He'd never admit it, but he hates snakes █ ▬ His biggest fear is that he will fail at his one task to protect Cali █PERSONALITY TRAITS █Nature ▬ While Eli is a generally sane person, he can be like a lighter to gasoline. One second he could be calm and collected and the next consumed by a fiery rage. He struggles to control his temper and has a tendency to be aggressive and violent when angry. On the other hand, he is not easily angered. There are a few select things th as to get to him and other than that he is a charming, if not slightly cocky, guy. He has a hero complex, and will throw himself needlessly into danger to protect those around him without a second thought. He also suffers from a bit of martyrdom and has accepted his death so long as it be given upon another. █Vernacular ▬ Eli has a deep voice that can be charming, cocky, or intimidating depending on his mood. █Positive Traits ▬ Loyal, Protective, Humorous, Charming, Perceptive █Negative Traits ▬ Violent, Aggressive, Hot-headed, Sometimes Cocky
██ ╫ H I S T O R Y ╫
█BACKGROUND ▬ Eli grew up to a couple of loving parents in a small city in Atlas. In a city mostly full of humans, he and his parents lived on the outskirts to try and attempt to avoid the discrimination. Apart from the occasional teasing due to his faunus heritage, he lived a fairly normal life. He had no siblings despite his parents trying so hard for another child. They even came close a couple times, but it always ended in despair. Often times his house got a little lonely with no one to play with, but his parents offered him all the love and affection he could ever ask for, so he couldn't complain too much. When he turned seven years old, he would meet the person that became his best friend. His only friend. The person he cared for more than any other soul on the earth and would protect with every fiber of his being. Walking home from school one day he noticed a group of guys surrounding the young girl. Approaching the scene he could immediately sense that something was wrong. The tiny child was in near tears, a bloody scrape on one of her knees and a bruise across her cheek. Something about seeing her like that, despite the fact that the girl was a stranger, awakened a rage with in him. Seeing someone so innocent, lost, and helpless being treated in such away. Used and abused simply because she was an easy target. Eli did more than stand up to the bullies. He went in with a ferocity equal to that of a lion. Being outnumbered as he was, he received quite the beating himself, but not before getting in a few good punches himself.
Eli learned a lot that day. About the girl, about himself. Her name, why those kids had been picking on her, and all about a very peculiar ability of hers. The majority of the world thought it made her dangerous, but he saw the good in her. He gave her a pair of gloves to help keep the rot in check and began trying to teach her to control her semblance and to use it for good rather than destruction. He stuck by her side, hugged her when she cried, wiped her tears, even when it hurt him as well. He learned that for some reason, he wanted nothing more than to care for and protect this girl. Always. From that day on, the two were tied at the hip. They did everything together. Eli took her under his wing, determined to protect her from the harsh words of society as much as he wanted to protect her from herself. Eventually she began to do the same to him when individuals tried to speak up about his own nature. Over the years they grew closer. It got to the point where there was hardly a moment they spent apart. She was often over at his house and even his parents began to care for the girl. They loved her like the second child they always wanted, the child they were never able to have. Calista wasn't welcome at her own home, her parents shared the same views as the rest of the world and submitted her to the worst of abuse. Physical and emotional. She tried to hide it from him, but it didn't take the young boy long to put it together. He was perceptive. With Eli and his parents Cali had a second home, a real home... a family even. They cared for her, cooked for her, did all the things parents were supposed to do. All the things her parents never did. They even let her stay there with them most nights, as her parents hardly noticed their absence anyway.
Sure, they each had their problems, their bullies, their endeavors, but none if that seemed to matter so long as they were together. Together they were strong, unstoppable, unbreakable. As they grew older they grew closer and with both of their semblances developing it was soon discovered that in a way his semblance could repel hers. It helped him keep her out of trouble as well as keeping her from hurting him or others. However, it was a tricky situation because even though he could repel her semblance, she couldn't repel his. It was a constant battle of trying to find that happy median where neither of them accidentally hurt the other. In reality, neither of them minded the pain if it meant they got to be close. Whether it was the trust of their friendship or some other strange, unheard of phenomenon, over time she began to grow better at controlling her rot and keeping it in check when She was around him.
However, as most good things do, it all crumpled to a tragic end at the mere age of twelve. Their city was attacked by a group of anti-faunas radicals trying to prove a point. No one was safe until they got their way. There were fires wrought, guns shot, blades wielded. It was complete chaos. The people tried to evacuate, get as many people out as they could, but before they could make it far, the grim came. It was complete chaos. The only thought on Eli's mind was Cali. He had to make sure she was safe. He had to get her out. Nothing else mattered. Just that one single entity in the midst of all the darkness... and it consumed him. He searched the frantic crowd to no avail, but eventually came across her parents. After a bit of yelling, screaming, and angry tears, they relayed to him that she'd been crushed beneath the embers of their burning home. They couldn't get her out and she wasn't worth the effort. "We're better off." They said. "And so are you." Once again he was consumed by that fiery rage. White hot, pumping thick, molten adrenaline through his veins. He did not so much as give them a second glance before dashing back into a city in ruins, a city of flames.
Eli sprinted as fast as his legs would take him, straight back to her house. The building was in flames but that didn't deter the young boy in the slightest. He burst through the embers, the fire the ash. He ignored the pain, the sizzling of his flesh, the smoke that filled his lungs. He choked on the thick billowy clouds, they burnt his eyes and blurred his vision, but still he did not give up. He called out her name and followed the sound of her tiny voice. It took him time to pull the beam that had collapsed off of her frame, but eventually eventually he managed to drag her out of the wreckage, and not a moment too soon. However, once again there wasn't time for relief, for just as they escaped a fiery death, they were fronted with another enemy. A large beowolf approached the young children from behind. Eli, supporting most of Cali's weight, didn't have time to react before it slashed its massive claws down his back. Crying out in pain he fell forward, accidentally tugging Cali with him. He was certain they were going to die right there and while the thought was terrifying, all he could think of was how he had failed her. She was going to die because he hadn't been strong enough or fast enough. To this day he's not sure if the fate they met was better or worse.
The children were saved, but by no other than the bandits who had attacked their city to begin with. The kids were bound, blindfolded and tossed in a cage. They were brought to their hide out and neither of them like talking much about the tortures they witnessed there. The bandits were determined to bring as much pain to the young faunus boy as possible. Burnt, bleeding, and utterly drained, he surely wouldn't make it long at this rate, especially with the additional beatings. For so many years it had always been him protecting her, but she did something then that he wouldn't truly understand until years ago. Something he would become eternally thankful for. As the bandits discovered the true potency of her semblance, when they started getting hurt when handling her, they grew increasingly angry and they took that anger out on her. It distracted them from the half-dead spider boy beside her. He would never forgive himself for the pain she had to go through because of him, but that pain may very well have saved his life. They were held there for two weeks, both undergoing unthinkable acts, though Cali took the Brute of it for him. The day they escaped was also the day they learned of their parents death. Of course they could never be certain, but after hearing the bandits story of a group of four that had been tracked down and eliminated by the grim... they could take a guess. Not only had Eli's parents loved Cali like their own, but because of her parents they had not only lost her but their own son as well. Surely there had been yelling and tears, which was sure to draw the grim to them. It was confirmed there were no survivors and at that point the two children became useless to the bandits. They could no longer use them as leverage and as thus, it was decided they were to be killed. They very well might have been, were it not for Cali's semblance. To this day, whenever someone judges her, whenever she is doubting herself, she reminds her of this moment and how much good her semblance is capable of. It saved them.
By focusing her semblance, she was able to decay their ropes as well as the metal bars of the cage they were being held in. It took time, effort, just about every ounce of aura they had but they were able to escape the camp. Not without taking on damage, on top of what they had received with the initial attack. They ran, as they didn't know what else to do. They got lost, spent a night a lone in the cold forest, but eventually they ran into a group that had survived a similar grim invasion, and thus began the downfall of Atlas. From that time on, it was just the two of them against the world. They made it out of the destruction of Atlas and to the sanctuary of Vale.

It's better suited to create barriers or other effects on the ground rather than aiming for an actual enemy. █Ammo Type ▬ His own webs, but can also use dust █ ▬ Eli's weapon's biggest draw back and weakness is that it his a primarily close ranged weapon. Even in it's ranged form, it is designed to trap or bring his enemies closer so that he can make the final blow himself. Whike he can launch dust, it is not accurate enough to activate out an enemy, only block or delay. This puts him constantly on the front lines and directly in harms way. There is also the fact that his gloves and blades are not capable of blocking attacks from larger weapons. He has to dodge or redirect the attack with his webs. This leaves him vulnerable to larger swords, axes, hammers, etc. There is also the fact that it is highly dependent upon his faunus skill and his semblance, while it makes it unique and deadly, it gives him extreme limits. If he exhausts himself, his weapon is useless.

When enacting his semblance on his webs, he can spread the current over fifteen feet. He can now keep his semblance active for four posts before needed a 8 post cool down. The distance he can launch a single stream through the ground increases to twenty feet out from him. He can repeat this 5 times (1 post in between) before needing a 10 post cool down. He can still only use 2 of these abilities but will only need a 15 post cool down █*LEVEL 2▬ From here the potency of his electric shock grows further. Anyone touched by the electricity would suffer a significant drain in aura. The target would suffer muscle spasms and find it difficult to move afterwards. At this level he can focus the current on any object three times his body size.The radius at which he can spread it over increases to fifteen feet. He can keep his semblance active this way for 5 posts before needing a 10 post cool down. If chosen instead he can still launch individual streams through the ground, he can now do this 5 times before needing a 10 post cool down. At this level his ability to control electricity further increases. He can now shoot single bolts of lightning through the air and aim them at a person or object. He cannot aim these bolts more than twenty-five feet away from him. He can only do this three times before needing a 10 post cool down. He can use three of his abilities in one setting, but will then need a 30 post cool down. █*LEVEL 3 ▬ At this level his electricity is strong enough to knock any person who comes in contact with it off their feet. Their body would undergo muscle spasms and aura draining. A person would not be able to move voluntarily while submitted to this level of electricity. They would be left feeling sore and stiff and tired afterwards. At this level he can focus the current on any object four times his body size. The radius at which he can spread it over increases to twenty feet. He can keep his semblance active this way for 6 posts before needing a twelve post cool down. If chosen instead he can still launch individual streams through the ground, he can now do this 6 times (1 post between) before needing a 10 post cool down. He can now shoot five single bolts of lightning (1 post in between) before needing a 10 post cool down. He cannot aim these bolts more than fifty feet away from him. He also unlocks a new ability at this level. He can now shoot a bolt of lightning in the air and create a localized lightning storm. The storm covers a fifty foot area and will last five posts. He will need an 15 post cool down before being able to do this again. He can now use 3 of his abilities with only a 25 post cool down, unless he chooses to create the storm. He then can only use 2 abilities and must go through a 30 post cool down. █*DRAWBACKS ▬ One of the biggest drawbacks of his semblance is that lightning can be unpredictable and it's easy for his teammates and allies to accidentally get caught in the crossfire. The most dangerous drawback is that the electricity can actually start to burn him from the inside out if he ever presses himself too far or drains his aura. The energy would literally whiplash and turn inwards on him, ravaging is cells and organs and effectively killing him. If an enemy has fast enough reflexes, it would be easy to dodge his attacks because you can easily see the electricity coming. His eyes also glow before he uses an ability, giving him away and acting as another warning to his enemies.
