« on: November 22, 2017, 09:42:07 AM »
CHARACTER

Name: Shihab Hamal

Age: 27, born 53 AC

Species and Gender: Male Sheep Faunus

Symbol:  A red shooting star.

Occupation:  Atlesian Military, Paladin pilot.

Appearance: Six feet tall with dark tan skin,heavily defined musculature, a curly mop of black hair with a bright red streak through it, and thick, curly ram horns protruding from his head, Shihab cuts an imposing figure.

On duty, he typically wears the standard green trimmed battlesuit common to all Atlas airship personnel, his helmet has been modified with grooves to accommodate his horns, these can be covered with metal plates to keep them protected when the helmet is on.

History: Shihab's family originally hail from Vacuo, but his parents travelled to Atlas to fight in the Faunus Civil War, and after the fighting stopped they decided to settle down there instead of the politically tumultuous Vacuo, and for a while things were good. However, as the Schnee Dust Company continued to rise in prominence and power the relative safety they had in the recently defeated Atlas waned.

The populace became more emboldened and open about displaying their racial intolerance, the Hamal family were kicked out of their homs and stripped of their livelihood, forced to live in the worst part of the city, and work as Dust Dredgers to make ends meet, and it was during this time Shihab was born.

Shihab grew up in poverty and surrounded by discrimination, so he was used to it, and as a child he was happy in spite of it. As he grew older though he began to become embittered, resenting the humans for placing his family in their terrible position.

As soon as he was old enough, the 17 year old Shihab enlisted in the Atlesian military, intending to accumulate experience, then desert and join the White Fang and support their mission to liberate Faunus around Remnant. As expected, he faced constant bullying from the other recruits and even instructors during his training, but he told himself it'd be worth it when he had the opportunity to join the White Fang and make them pay. As a way to show defiance in the face of the abuse, he resolved to always smile through the pain, never showing weakness to people who only wanted to beat him down.

After getting through basic infantry training with average scores, Shihab decided to pursue further training in the operation of combat vehicles, figuring that he could eventually steal one when he deserted, if he succeeded in getting to the White Fang with it they would gain a useful resource, and if he failed Atlas would lose it anyway as long as he made sure it was destroyed in combat.

However, the White Fang was growing ever more militant under the new leadership of "King", and even started attacking the residences of Faunus they thought were too content with the current state of the world, this horrified Shihab, who realized that his current anger and rage wouldn't get a better life for him and his family.

Instead, Shihab turned his drive toward excelling in the military, if he rose through the ranks he could provide for his family, and maybe even protect other Faunus who joined the military out of similar desperation. His newfound purpose lead to increased results, and he passed vehicular training with flying colours.

After serving in the field for some time, Shihab was one of the pilots selected to test Atlas' new innovation: The Paladin-290 mech. He fell in love with the machine, and quickly distinguished himself in its usage, and was quickly granted permission to use one on a permanent basis when they began rolling into more advanced production.

Eventually, a previously hostile superior approached Shihab with a promotion offer, if he so chose, he could be assigned to an airship as part of a squad of elite mech and fighter pilots designed to respond to sightings of large scale Grimm in not just Atlas, but world over.

Shihab realized this offer was intended to stop him from advancing in the capital, at worst it'd make him some other officer's problem, at best it'd get him killed in the line of duty, but the pay was good, very good, enough to provide for his family, and in time possibly even get them out of Atlas altogether.

So, Shihab accepted, and found himself fitting in well with the other daredevils and desperate souls who were assigned to the ship, now he fights alongside them in his customized Paladin, so he can finally give his family a better life.
