Character

Name: Pyre Persephone Delanto

Age: 18

Species and Gender: Female, Vampire Finch Faunus

Symbol:  TBD

Occupation: First-Year Beacon Student

Physical Characteristics: Standing at an even 5', Pyre's frame is fairly thin and petite. Her skin is quite pale and is ever-so-slightly sleek due to her steadfast use of sunblock and lotion. Her hair, jet black with a tinge of waviness, contains a hint of a feather-like texture and is parted to the side of her face and comes to an end just below her chin. Her eyes are a fiery orange-red.

Pyre also has a pair of wings peppered with black and grey. They extend a tad bit past her elbows when her arms are stretched out to her sides. They are capable of flapping about but are incapable of flight or gliding.

Attire:

Main Wear When not in her Beacon uniform or other situation-specific attire, Pyre most often wears one of two outfits. Her first outfit is primarily that of a gothic dress with a design that is more on the mellow and inconspicuous side as to blend into a crowd much easier. The dress also features an open back that is just enough for her wings. Her second outfit is that of a knee-length skirt and somewhat baggie hoodie with slits on the back specifically for her wings should she feel like having them out. There is no specific color associated with these outfits as that depends entirely on her mood and circumstances.

Combat/Mission Wear Pyre's combat attire is straight forward: black combat boots with purple accent, baggy black pants, and a slightly-baggy dark-purple hoodie. Her clothing is loose and made of fire-resistant materials in case of emergencies or other intense situations. The hoodie also is able to have her wings out, but for combat missions, Pyre prefers to keep them restrained under her clothing. For longer missions, she may also don a sturdy backpack filled with extra Dust for her weapon.

History: TBD

Personality: Anyone on the outside looking in may find that Pyre is a bit of a weirdo, and she'd probably agree with them. Pyre is of few words, but not due to a dislike of talking. Rather, she instinctively and primarily showcases her thoughts and emotions with actions, gestures, and expressions; a bona fide open-book one could say. To this end, Pyre learned sign language over the years and incorporates it into her mannerisms often, to the point where one may wonder if she is impaired in some way.

Pyre isn't necessarily a kind person per se, but she is friendly and she errs on the side of not doing anything outright malicious. With her thoughts and views translating near instantly to her actions and expression with little restraint, she can be described as blunt. If she is worried about how her reaction will affect someone, she does her best to nip it at the bud and rectify the situation.
 
Aura and Semblance: 

Pomp Purple (#86608E)

Instead of building up her muscles through exercise and training, Pyre inadvertently trained her aura to augment her base strength. Her combined strength does not exceed the base strength of her more capable peers.

To be named: Pyre's semblance ignites her aura in bright, purple flames engulfing both her and her weapon. The flames do normal fire damage. However, when doing aura damage, a fraction of the damage replenishes her own aura. This only applies to the damage done by the flames of her semblance and not any of her other attacks.

Combat Behavior:
 
Style As a solo fighter, Pyre's style can be flexible, her range limitation aside. She is capable of fighting head on with her mace, keeping her opponent zoned out with her flamethrower, a tricky hit-and-run style, or more likely a combination of the three. 

Teamplay As a team player, Pyre can use her styles stated above to either be a frontliner, assist the frontliner, or to raid/break into her opponents' positions. Pyre has a tendency to want to do her own thing, but she tries to make sure she balances her own desires with the need of the team. For instance, even if ordered to remain in a certain role, she may break away to assist a teammate in dire need. The more significant her role is in a specific fight or situation, the higher her threshold is to break away. This does not apply to simulated fights.

Strengths Pyre's dexterity is average to slightly above average Her balance is quite good and she is able to remain on her feet and stable through intense situations. Her combined strength is also good, but not outside the realm of the natural abilities of others.

Weaknesses Pyre has no long-range capabilities so she is unable to deal with such threats. Although she strengthened her aura, her durability is suspect. As a team player, she can struggle with maintaining roles that conflict with her emotions in a given situation.

WEAPON

Name: TBD

Primary Form: A two-handed flanged mace nearly the size of Pyre. At the base is a black, rubber grip and the shaft is textured for grip.

Secondary Form: At the top of the mace is an aperture that, when opened, allows the mace to act as a flamethrower. Dust can be stored in the shaft of the weapon, or it can be directly attached to her backpack to increase its capacity.

Dust Functions: The flamethrower function of Pyre's weapon uses a mix of fire Dust and propulsion Dust. The fire Dust can be replaced with other elements, but Pyre only uses fire unless specific plans are made that involve her switching it out for something else.

This function can also double to make the mace reminiscent of a witch's broom. This alternative function has a tendency to cause a bit of collateral damage, especially when near the ground, so it can only be used in certain situations. However, the Dust mixture can be replaced with pure propulsion Dust making it significantly more safe for general use.

History: TBD

Avery squirmed with anxiety as the encircling Grimm brushed up against the pod, afraid that their time was limited. However, with every minute that passed by, he became more at ease. It was safer that way anyway given their attraction to negative he could. Aurum swinging around his wet boots weren’t helping in that regard, though.

Suddenly, something flicked on within the pop and a message started to come through. Unfortunately, the storm was still ongoing and the message was broken. He turned toward Dorian, unfortunately still unconscious, before turning to Topaz.

“Do you think you can fix the signal?”

The grab to Aurelia’s face was so sudden that she couldn’t react, and by the time that she could, her head had already been slammed against the fortunately sandy ground and she was sent flying several meters away from Ceramite.

As she skid across the ground, she managed to stabilize herself, and at the end of her slide, she was in a knelt position facing toward her opponent. Aurelia’s eyes narrowed in on Ceramite. Shifting her eyes to Exitium, her eyes continued to do so as she realized the situation she was in.

Aurelia dug her toes into the sand and launched herself forward with so much force that she lost her footing. After stumbling for a few seconds, she regained herself and charged toward Ceramite, slightly off-center favoring the side nearest Exitium. With her eyes keenly dialed on Ceramite, she held her weapon tightly, ready to strike [no attack].

Airi looked at Sovereign, then at Lyra, then back at Sovereign. Given her physical state, Airi was in no position to object."Sure, Sovereign." Turning up at the LeBlanc residence out of the blue was going to be a bit strange, but with the police set to arrive at any minute, it was a much better option than staying here. "What about you, Lyra?"

Even in his dazed state, Avery was still able to get a grasp of the battle, albeit faintly, and he didn't like what he saw. He and Topaz had swapped targets and now the passionate spearman was getting on Avery's case. He used his semblance to force Vermilion’s thrown spear crashing into the ground not too far ahead of him, and as Vermilion came charging in, he attempted to parry his attack. Vermilion’s charge was slow, but unfortunately Avery’s reaction time was slower. Despite successfully getting the block, it was too late, and the attack drilled into his shoulder.

Avery winced and let out a faint grunt upon impact, but instead of falling back to regroup his senses, he exhaled sharply and sent his weapon down along the shaft of Vermilion’s for a counter-hit[1].
