After a 3 hour flight back from his solo-mission (a simple Grimm extermination, nothing too hard), Cobe Sky stepped off the airship, his armour slightly charred from when detonated his Steam Dust too soon. In its hilt lay his weapon, Cobalt Dawn, however, it was quite badly damaged from the Steam Dust explosion, he would need to get it fixed, preferably sooner rather than later, however, he was not focused on his weapon right now.

He had arrived just in time to see the buzz of the airship dock arriving with people who were just starting at Beacon Hard to believe that was me once, though I'd rather not think about when I first arrived. He walked off the airship, and on to the platform, taking his environment for a moment, before muttering to himself:

"This never gets old."

He then walks onto the courtyard of Beacon, waiting for something to happen...

CHARACTER

Name:
Cobe Sky

Theme:
Skillet: Whispers in The Dark


Battle Theme:
Артем Лоик - Завяжите мне глаза(минус)


Age:
17 (15th Amare)

Species and Gender:
Human Male

Symbol:


Occupation:
1st Year Student, Beacon Academy

Appearance:
Cobe stands 6 feet tall, weighs 209 pounds, has cobalt blue hair and green eyes, he also has a very small six-pack. Casually, Cobe wears a dark blue tank top and black jeans, and green trainers. When on missions or fighting in tournaments, he wears this armour:


History:
Cobe was born in a rough part of Vale, his father was a factory worker, making dust, whilst his mother stayed at home to "care" for him. His parents were originally going to have 3 children, but aborted the other 2. Cobe grew up like any other child in that region, training for the factory, however, he secretly trained to be a Hunter with a mentor he paid for himself, with the occasional pocket money he got. The reason he wanted to become a Hunter is because he didn't want people to suffer (as he did).

He was abused (mentally and physically) which included: being burnt with a branding iron (from which he still has the scar), being told nearly 100 times that he was "an f**king accident" and being repeatedly slapped by his father after he came home from work before running away on his 10th birthday, stealing 10,000 lien from his father before he left. He was never charged for this crime.

For years he wandered the world, training and learning with other hopeful Hunters and Huntresses he found along the road, growing physically and educationally stronger by the day. He occasionally ran into some Grimm, so using his weapon he was usually able to dispatch of them, with only a few scratches, until the day after his 16th birthday.

On that day, he made the (what Cobe himself calls) stupid decision to go to Mountain Glenn alone, he heard that his family had gone there, and so, he wanted them to answer for their crimes. Almost 3 hours after arrival, he tried to fight a pack of nearly 100 Beowolves, he was almost killed, but was saved by a team from Beacon Academy (to this day, he still does not know who saved him), and was brought back to be operated on to survive his horrific injuries. He had nearly 100 gash that were 1/2 an inch deep; a broken leg; a torn deltoid in his right shoulder and he had lost nearly 4 pints of blood (he need a blood transfusion for that last one).

He didn't wake up for 2 weeks after the surgery, due to the fact that he lost so much blood. After he woke, he told his story to the teachers of Beacon, he was offered a place to stay and a free entry to next years tryouts. So after being at Beacon (essentially) for a year, taking the lessons and watching the other Hunters and Huntresses train, he went to the tryouts, and finished top of his class. Now, he awaits to be put in a team...

Personality:
Cobe, while very trustworthy and reliable, to many, he is often seen a cold person, not displaying much emotion at all, and often staying stone-faced and down-to-earth about many things, especially when it comes to planning missions. However, to people who know him (of which very few remain), Cobe is a very kind person, and is always willing to help anyone, also displaying an open book of emotions. Due to the fact he took lessons before and after arriving at Beacon, he is rather clever, and does relatively well in his studies. He does, however, not like to rely on others, due to the fact that when he relied on his parents during childhood, they almost never delivered.

Aura and Semblance:
Aura Colour: Cobalt/Navy Blue
Cobe has a pretty good understanding of Aura, despite never being taught how to properly control it. This fact is one of his biggest weaknesses.

Semblance Name: Overdrive
Cobe supercharges his body, and now can fire his gun, and move about 8x faster than normal for a few seconds. On one occasion in his childhood, while training in Overdrive. He created a 2 by 2 vacuum for 1/10000th of a second. However, using Overdrive even once does take out a huge chunk of his Aura. Overuse can potentially kill him, and the speed boost does not apply to his bullets from his gun.


Combat Behavior:
He uses his weapon (described below) to compliment his own created fighting style, which he calls "Tsu-Xa Ocean",  a practical style focused on predicting an opponent. It is known for punches, an higher focus on speed rather than strength and very big emphasis of close ranged and melee weapons. However, due to not being properly trained, he can get a bit greedy with his kills, making mistakes. Also, he is not good with and countering long-ranged weapons like Sniper Rifles, and (like Yang) he is not very good against opponents with specialize in kicks. <sup>2

WEAPON

Name:
Cobalt Dawn

Primary Form:
The Cobalt Dawn is a longsword combined with a sawed-off shotgun,the sword (including the grip) has a total length of 133cm, the barrel of the gun reaches the tip of the sword, when it starts from the tip of the hilt.


Dust Functions:
Cobalt Dawn is unique in the sense that it uses Pure Dust Crystals instead of standard Dust Rounds. The sword and shotgun change colour and have different effects, depending on what type/element of Dust is being used¹. The shotgun has a 30m spread, and sharpens the crystals, so that, if touched, they would cut the skin, making the weapon very effective at killing big Grimm very quickly, however, with its potentially limited ammo and long reload time of 15 seconds, it is not very effective against hordes of smaller Grimm, thus forcing him to rely on his much weaker sword skills.

History:
Cobalt Dawn was the only thing that his parents gave Cobe before he left them, and they gave it to him for his 9th birthday. Over the years, Cobe has made numerous adjustments to the weapon, including the ammo type. He also adjusted the sword (now 120cm), making 15cm longer currently, than it originally was.
