CHARACTER

Name: Joshua Schwarz

Age: 17
Species and Gender: Human,Male

Symbol:

Occupation: First Year Student at Beacon Academy

Appearance: Has dark blue eyes and dark blond hair from his family's heritage on his father's side. Has well kept muscles but still looks slim for his towering 6 ft 6 height. He Weighs 200 pounds and is covered by a Dark Grey Trench coat over a dark grey suit of armour that enhances his fighting ability.

His Armour has medium grey inner armour underneath that lets him move easier and protects him from harsh climates. The over armour is Jet Black with a grappling hook on his left arm that lets him pull objects or people closer to him for close quarter combat and to reach high grounds and a cylinder on his right arm that shoots out his weapon so he can use it almost instantly.His helmet completely covers his face but exposes the inner armour, that doesn't take as much damage as the outer armour, around the mouth area so he can breathe and you can hear him talk, his helmet is also equipped with thermal imaging to see people in the dark, however, using fire dust or a fire semblance on his armour disrupts the thermal imaging inside his helmet, effectively blinding him if he has his helmet on. His Armour is in pieces allowing easier movement and exposes the inner, weaker armour.
In social situations (including beacon), he wears a full black three piece suit, with his trench coat if he is going outside, but has to carry a walking stick, due to his leg injury. The walking stick is jet black, but with a Gold sphere at the top.


History: his father was high up in the Atlas military and trained Joshua at home whenever he could to make Joshua capable of defending himself from the White Fang threat. He didn't know anything about his mother because she passed away at childbirth. Joshua was never in an academy, he was always home schooled because his father felt that other students would get in the way of his learning.When he was 16, his father gave him his armour When he was 17, he got a letter from the Atlas Military that told him his father was killed in action by the white fang. This fuelled Joshua's hatred for the faunus group and he trained as hard as he could before leaving to Vale to join Beacon, because he thought that the military academy brought bad luck to his family. When he had asked for a job from a store owner in Vale, but was ultimately rejected, he was on his way to apply for another one, but found some thugs try to rob a faunus woman in an alleyway. After saving the woman, he realised he could use his skills that he had been taught by his father to help fight against the Grimm, so he applied for beacon instead of a job, and was, for the first time he had been in Vale, accepted. 

Personality: He is a quiet, intelligent man who will not feel remorse for most of his actions in and out of combat, he does not insult faunus or people who are different than him because he feels everyone is equal and dislikes people who don't think the same way, but he feels a hate for the white fang because his father was killed by them and told him many things about them whilst he was in Atlas, he also doesn't like being asked about his parents because it brings up memories of him opening the letter that was sent to him from Atlas that told him his father was killed in action, he is also known for his "silver tongue". Can be mean sometimes without knowing that it he is mean. He also gets very angry with people who insult his late family and has, on a few occasions, attacked innocent people for saying "the wrong thing" about his parents, and doesn't like the Atlas military because he thinks they didn't protect his father from the white fang when they killed him. He also has a fondness for historical artifacts, events and uses this to his own advantage, to spot any faunus abilities or to help see what the outcome may be when the kingdoms are in political strife, or under attack by the white fang/Grimm hordes. He also has a fondness for dark colours.

Aura and Semblance: He has a dark red aura. His semblance is absorbing the kinetic energy from a fight to increase his Agility,Speed and Strength up to 5 times their original values. How much these attributes are increased depends on how much kinetic energy he can absorb for example: if he is in a short fight with minimal movement, his semblance won't work as well as it would if he was in a long fight with a lot of movement, like a sparring match with other hunters. The energy he absorbs from the fight will disperse three minutes after it is absorbed. After he has used his semblance, and the energy has dispersed, he moves at a much slower pace than what he did before he activated his semblance, and his aura is drained by a quarter.

Combat Behaviour:  in combat, he will use his scoped pistol weapon form at medium-short range, his Rifle variation at a longer range and his sword variation at melee combat. He will not hold back in combat and only fights to win or lose. Sometimes ties are unacceptable for him, and can get frustrated in a fight, which can cause him to make mistakes. In defeat, he will carefully point out his mistakes and try his best to fix them, this may take days sometimes. in a defeat that endangers anyone's life, he will evacuate all people to preserve their life and maybe use their aid in another battle. He will try to end the fight as quickly as possible and tries to not let emotions get in the way of victory. His weaknesses are that his helmet can be rendered useless if a thermal semblance or fire dust is used because it uses thermal imaging, his right leg, which is near useless when he is not in his armour because he damaged it when he was home schooled by his father, which acts as a brace for his leg, which makes it a target and although he may be a good marksman, his hand-to-hand combat skills and skills with a sword are a "work in progress" so he prefers to stay at a long distance for most of his fights, so if you get in close, you have a higher chance of winning also, due to how many forms his weapon has, and how much dust it can hold, the weapon in it's sword form is heavier than usual and takes more effort to swing.
