Tychus Drenelian (ReSubmission)
« on: September 11, 2016, 07:10:57 AM »
CHARACTER

Name: Tychus Drenelian

Age: 17

Species and Gender: Male Silver Wolf Faunus

Symbol: Wolf clutching crossed swords in mouth

Occupation: 1st year student at Beacon, musician, part-time employee at local music store

Appearance: Tychus stands around 5'9" has a muscular build similar to a lightweight fighter with the weight to match. His crimson/silver hair that is normally in a ponytail and grey eyes make him stand out in a crowd. His tail last time he curiously measured was around 1'. He has multiple scars all over his body from his reckless behavior, but the majority of them line his arms, each one just a few millimeters apart from each other. His normal street clothes consist of black jeans that are tattered at the bottom of the legs, plain black half-cab shoes, a black band shirt of a metal band that has a logo depicting an ursa holding a bloodied beowolves severed head in its mouth, grey hoodie that is under a black sleeveless field jacket with his emblem on the back of the field jacket, the hood of his hoodie having holes in it where his silver fur ears poke out. He is seen almost always with his guitar case that is strapped to his back.

History: Tychus was born in Vale in the faunas slums. He was born with a rare condition called congenital analgesia, which rendered him insensitive to pain. He learned early that life wasn't fair or easy. His mother died after he was born and his father died at the age of 7 when he was at school. Tychus was sent to a private orphanage that kept skating by on the bare minimum on the terms of everything from hygiene to food. He was then bounced around from foster house to foster house until he enrolled at Signal. His foster parents consisted mostly of uncaring humans who neglected him because of him being a "dirty animal", to abusive faunas who envied his natural beauty, and one family who actually cared for him but they died during a home invasion, to which Tychus wasn't there because was sent to get some bread from the bakery. Tychus's reactions to the abuse he went though were mostly on to the lines of betrayal. In his mind, these people adopted him to take care of him like they were his own, only to dash his hopes as soon as the abuse began. After having his last foster family die he nearly became numb to loss, until he was adopted by a man who owned a music shop. At first Tychus and his adoptive father didn't connect until Tychus was caught putting a music disc in his jacket. Rather than verbally assaulting him and scolding him , he handed Tychus a broom and told him to sweep around the shop since it was a slow day. After he closed the shop, they talked it over like rational people. Tychus's adoptive father told him that he would have gotten it for him if he asked. His new adopted father decided to enroll Tychus at Signal to teach him how to fend for himself, on the condition that he works part-time at the shop. It was at Signal that he found out that his disability could come to be useful as he felt that since he couldn't feel pain, he would deal twice the pain but keep it concentrated to his opponents only. Every practice match and practical exam he was in, everyone wanted to see how he did and still stand after taking so much damage. He graduated at the top of his class and is now looking to his future at Beacon.

Personality: Tychus is a great, caring, person to people who he knows, but due to what happened to him in his life it is hard for him to trust anyone. He wears his heart on his sleeve when it comes to his music. Due to his condition he can some times do things no rational person can do. He sometimes can act arrogant and brash, but that is only sometimes to hide what he truly feels. At certain nights he would climb up to the roof and stare at the moon. It would be on these nights that he would sing and compose notes for songs he has kept in his notebook.

Aura and Semblance: Avalanche Plating: His aura can make nearby earth or stone in an immediate radius of 3 yards attach to his body and form armor strong enough to take the heaviest of civilian arms and the sharpest claws of Grimm by infusing his aura within the armor. He can keep this semblance up for around 4 minutes on average. If there is no loose stone or earth, he will use his weapon to smash the ground and provide enough material to form his semblance. At most his armor has been measured to be around 15 millimeters thick all around. It can affect his movement speed depending on how much armor he has on him. He can be slow and cumbersome with full plating or he can be nearly as fast and agile with half plating, depending on how much aura he expends to activate his semblance. Even with the sheer intimidation factor of his armor, the durability of it varies depending on what material is used to make it. It's main fault is that it is weak to explosive rounds. The last time he tested his armor, he was able to take 7 good swings from the top person in his class while his armor was at its heaviest.

Combat Behavior: Tychus's condition gives him the confidence to keep fighting after getting knocked down. There are times where his condition will sometimes make him over-confident, almost to the point of believing that he is invincible. He will support the person that needs the most help on the battlefield, but he can also become arrogant and cocky if he gets his way. If using his semblance, he can use smaller pieces of earth and stone to trade protection for attack power, but if the pieces of stone are too large he will become over encumbered and his melee attacks will be slowed. He does not back down from helping his friends or teammates. His weapon in its chaingun form can heat up and jam if he uses it nonstop. The ammo drum on his chaingun can last around 4 minutes if shot continuously. For his chain gun he has to carry around only the ammo that is already in his gun and three ammo boxes. When he needs to shift between his weapons forms, he has to eject the crate and the battery cell.

WEAPON

Name: Aegis

Primary Form: Aegis takes the form of a 7.62x51mm chaingun with an ammo crate that holds 200 rounds, which utilizes a dust battery cell, that can rip people to shreds if they get within a certain distance of him of around 25 meters. Its rate of fire is around 100 rounds/minute, due to him modifying the timing and spacing on the ammo belts.

Secondary Form: Aegis can change again to turn into a Warhammer with a large rectangular hammer head to smash skulls, crack bones, and knock away any enemies that get too close to shoot.

Tertiary Form: N/A

Dust Functions: The only form of dust that Tychus utilizes in his weapon is electric, which he keeps in canisters that he carries around in his guitar case.

History:Tychus created Aegis at Signal with the intention of raw power and it has been his weapon ever since. With it he was able to get into the top 5 of the class. He got the idea from multiple readings of different history books, gun schematics, and through multiple trial and error runs. He had to harden the barrel for the hammer form to prevent critical failure.

History: Teddy is one of Tychus's friends from Signal. They met when Tychus got in trouble for knocking out a student who was bullying him and have been friends ever since. He got kicked out of Signal during his second year for accidentally misplacing an unstable canister of Fire dust that took out two classrooms, much to Tychus and Minos having his back.

Unfortunately they were never notified about what happened to Tychus until after he was put back in foster care after the family he was put in charge of got killed in a home invasion while he went to the bakery. Dani and Tychus finally met again, but not before seeing the boy she knew as a child grew up to be the young man that stood in front of her. After Tychus was adopted for the last time, she and Tychus were able to see each other on a regular basis. It wasn't till two months before he would enroll at Signal that the line between being friends and being more than friends between them were crossed one night when she was allowed to stay the night at his place. Her father didn't object at first, knowing that deep down inside that the Tychus he knew was still there. The relationship lasted until he left for Signal.

Tychus got cornered by a group of faunas hating thugs that were about to beat the life out of him. They would have succeeded, but Darius came rushing at them with a metal pipe and beat the daylights out of them. After that, Tychus became more trusting of his new dad.  A few months before that, he caught Tychus trying to sneak a music disc from his shop, but decided that instead of verbally scolding him and punishing him he had Tychus sweep and help around the shop as it was a slow day.
