Gwylan's reaction was nice enough with his warm smile at her. Aurora, however, may be a subject to look into, that wavering smile didn't escape her notice. At the mention of a map, Nero decided to take a quick peak. A maze hmm? That promises fun. Nero did feel a bit embarrassed at her taking her 'team roll' explanation too seriously.

On the Bullhead, Nero removed her swords' sheaths from around her waist, sitting opposite to Aurora and preferably away from her team as to not annoy them with the music she was about to play from her scroll, not really comfortable at the feeling of takeoff. She stopped at the mention of fighting. She was a bit saddened at the fact that the pistols are not used to their full potential. THAT she could help Tina with, easily. "Ah, combat. Well, Death Bell and Nightshade..." Nero then pulled out her completely identical swords, same in color length and weight, juggled them a bit, then form-shifted them into their gun form. http://www.writeups.org/wp-content/uploads/Mass-Effect-ME2-Scimitar-shotgun-h.jpg *this but black* "double as shotguns. I prefer to keep them in sword form for easy transit." As they form-shift back into sword form and puts them back into their sheaths. "My semblance, I can turn myself into smoke, allowing me to dodge attacks and pass through things like chain fences as if they were air, but I can't move unless I was moving beforehand such as being thrown. I also move like a human, so if I shift while being lifted, I will drop. Lastly if fighting style, which is a hit-and-run style. I can take any human sized foe easily in a one on one, but anything bigger and you all to give me an opening against bigger opponents."

*how does Aurora react to the hidden Nero?*
*Nero completely ignores his trivial advances.*

Consent given

Sooo, when will this take place and what time zone?

Personally, I want JJB, just for less chance of bias.

Could Nera LaFatch join?

CHARACTER

Name:
Nero LaFatch.

Age:
17
born Frost 1.

Species and Gender:
Wolf Faunus Female.

Symbol: 
Seven claw scar.

Occupation:
Beacon Student 1st year.

Appearance:
A 5'4", 115 lb. female, she almost always is wearing sweats and a long sleeved shirt, while also wearing a hooded trench coat, all of which is black. She has long, wavy brown hair, which is usually in a five minute routine form. She tends to wear a Gatspy hat when she is not wearing her coat to hide her ears. She has normal human blue eyes. Fair skinned and slim, the more definitive features are hidden by her clothes. She always seems to have her hood up, covering her wolf ears. The last notable feature is a claw scar over her right eye, apparently from a beowolf.

History:
Nero is extremely secretive of her past to other students, but put most of it into her application. She was born in Menagerie to two constructors, and quickly learned how to care for herself after moving to Vale using most of their money to move for a job opportunity. She grew extremely envious of hunters, wanting to live their life. She began training at an early age of six. She found it extremely hard to go into a stand-up fight. She preferred a more hit-and-run style. As soon as she could go to signal, she applied.

Due to her focus on training at an early age, the White Fang, most notably the violent ideology, has tried to recruit her, but due to her young age, they saw the youthful girl as too innocent to tell what they were planning. She actually did understand them, and has since dedicated her life against racists and radicals.

She learned many things, built weapon prototypes, and continuously trained the entire time at Signal. She had developed an anti-social attitude between students, especially racists, be they human or Faunus. She showed an acceptable work ethic with any assignment she was given and worked exceptionally well in weapon design. She displays an affection with weapons, as it is the only topic she talked about to other students. When her time came, she applied to Beacon Academy, hoping to fulfill her dream to have a better life than a common street rat.

Personality:
Secretive and quiet, Nero is not much for interaction with people. She has an inferiority complex. She is hard to evoke emotion from, but is very clear on her points and will always stand beside them. You can trust her for an honest opinion, but she has severe trust issues with new people. Her parents hope a team will help her open up. She does not talk without moving her hands for emphasis.

She is, however, extremely reliable when people need a silent scout or need a high priority target taken care of. She is also extremely good at keeping secrets, but may joke around in a way only people who know the secret would pick up on.

Nero has an extreme dislike of cherries, and a phobia of being in the middle of crowds. She is far more comfortable in nature, with a penchant for sleeping in trees or bushes. She also has a pet snake named Taijitu.

Aura and Semblance:
Her aura is a deep, nearly black, red. Her Semblance is the ability to change her body density, always to have her body act like smoke. The biggest drawback is her inability to move of her own power while her density is shifted, though momentum is conserved. She can keep up the form for a total of thirty seconds, then must regain her focus for six times the amount of time she spent in smoke form, acting as a toggled ability. If she expends all her time in smoke form, she has to wait for five seconds before regaining usable smoke time. If Nero is put into a fully defensive stance, she sets herself in smoke form whenever possible. She also cannot move for half a second when smoke form runs out. She becomes the smoke, losing all ability to move herself beyond holding herself together in a cloud, and can be moved by things such as prior momentum (the Cliff Launch pads, for example), the wind, or certain dusts. Nero cannot enter liquids, and is affected by environmental effects such as wind, though any gas is like regular air. She does not change size, but does not get altered by gravity to the point of flight. She can only make herself less dense, or return to normal density. There is a shift time of 0.25 seconds for smoke to solid. She only uses her semblance to be defensive. Nero feels some of the pain of any hit to her smoke form, and enough shock can force her to drop the smoke form. Explosions of force can force her back into physical form. She takes aura damage from explosions. Nero can reorganize what she is wearing and carrying by lowering her density and shifting the resulting smoke to the correct places, effectively letting her change outfits in one second, or can exclude items from the shift, such as removing clothes for a shower.

Combat Behavior:  Nero favors hit-and-run tactics, sticking to shadows and striking fast. She can fight a single humanoid one on one on even standings, though is susceptible to being outnumbered or outclassed. Her ability to turn herself into smoke makes her nearly untouchable against frontal assaults, though being surrounded makes her take a fully defensive stance, though her focus on speed and offense make her easily overpowerable if alone. Despite her ability in a stand-up fight, she sees it as a final option, seeing being revealed as leading to become overwhelmed.

Nero's full black outfit helps her blend into shadows to get in close to her enemies to deliver quick sword slashes or a barrage of shells. She avoids open areas whenever possible, even with allies are there. She can be very reckless in combat, not fully realizing traps or setups.

WEAPON

Name:
Death Bell and Nightshade (left and right weapons, respectively).

Primary Form:
Twin arming swords, made of a titanium alloy. It has been painted black over everything but the edge of the blade. the handle is curved to look like a shallow letter c.

Secondary Form:
Twin shotguns, firing an 8 buckshot shell spread. The weapon transforms by various joints in the blade bending and collapsing to form the barrels of both guns. a slot opens up on the bottom for reloading. The handle of the sword bends and forms the trigger and stock. One flat of the blade acts as the top, and is marked by Nero's symbol.

Tertiary Form:
One shotgun and one sword. This is achieved by only transforming one sword, usually Nightshade.

Dust Functions:
Dust has no function with the sword forms, but has a standard effect on the shells.

History:
Created at Signal, she is never without them in an area she can easily access. She is constantly tinkering with the design, to deal the most damage at close range effectively and efficiently.
