Spoiler: Show Hide
(http://www.clipartbest.com/cliparts/Kcn/5bj/Kcn5bjBcq.png)

Occupation: Beacon First Year Student

Appearance:

He stands at 5'10'' which makes him just tall enough to not be considered a midget according to his grandmother (his grandfather was close to 7'0'' at one time according to her and his father is 6'5''). His regular apparel consists of a maroon t-shirt, a pair of khakis, and a pair of sneakers. His parents frugal nature rubbed off on him and has made him into someone that doesn't like to spend a lot of money on things like clothes if he can avoid it. The only thing he spends money on are his gold colored bracers that he worked on at Signal.

History:

Bobby was born to Peter & Susan Beige in a small village in Vale near the Vacuo border. His father, Peter, was a blacksmith while Susan was a stay at home mom who would tend to the children (Bobby and his younger sister Melanie) along with her mother-in-law Patricia Beige. When Bobby was five years old they got a dalmatian named Spot.

Although he had a normal happy family life he still had a few difficulties in school when dealing with a certain older bully. He at first tried to ignore him but that didn't work as the boy would attack him physically. He then tried to run away and go home until his grandmother saw it and told him to go outside and confront the bully. He, reluctantly, went back outside and confronted the bully. It went as well as he expected with the stronger bully imposing himself on Bobby who didn't have enough of a reach to hit the bully. It wasn't until a few moments later when his arm miraculously stretched in order to hit the bully who freaked out and ran away after seeing the younger kid's arm stretch like a rubber band.

Bobby didn't know how to process what happened either until a huntress walking nearby explained to him and his grandmother what a semblance was and how it related to his aura. She then recommended that he should look into attending Signal Academy in order to try and become a huntsman. Bobby then told his parents about it who were fully committed to the idea of him becoming a huntsman since it would be much more lucrative than being a blacksmith. Bobby couldn't really argue with that since he saw the money and prestige that came with being a huntsman/huntress.

Once he attended Signal he found out that the road to being a huntsman was going to be as hard as he expected. He pretty much had to learn combat training from scratch since he didn't have enough time to learn that kind of stuff going to regular school and working at his dad's shop in his spare time. However he did have an advantage when it came to making and maintaining his weapon thanks to his father's background as a blacksmith making weapons for huntsmen. He made bracers that helped compensate his initial lack of combat experience. Fortunately he eventually became competent in hand to hand combat which so he wouldn't have to rely on his bracers too much. After that the only difficulties he had at Signal was having to deal with Melanie once she came to Signal during his third & fourth year at the academy because of her knack for annoying him. Fortunately that's over with, for now, as he's now going to Beacon Academy.

Personality:

Bobby tends to be laid back and not want too much trouble with anyone. He would rather spend time focusing on things he would like to do or chilling in his bedroom playing video games over wasting his energy having some sort of feud with someone. However if someone is overtly confrontational and can't be reasoned with he will have no hesitation ending things with violence. His experience with school bullies taught him that you can turn the other cheek so many times before its interpreted as a sign of weakness.

Aura and Semblance:

His aura is beige colored

He has the ability to stretch his limbs up to 10 feet making him able to attack people from a distance with his bracers. He can twist and contort his body in a variety of way to suit his needs on the battle field. However he can only contort his body for so long before he has to revert back to his original shape. Also if he tries to extend his limbs beyond the 10 feet limit or tries to twist his body too much he starts to feel pain.

Combat Behavior:

Bobby is the kind of person that just wants to end the fight as quickly as possible. He's not a fan of engaging his opponent with some kind of banter or playing with lesser opponents. He would rather limit the amount of damage his opponent can inflict on him so he doesn't have to waste too much time recovering.

His main strength is his punching/kicking power thanks to increased velocity of his fist as it extends towards his opponent. This can be particularly useful in dealing with larger and less mobile opponents who are able to deal with the blow that a normal punch can deal a person (not including when his bracers and infused with dust). Unfortunately he has a harder time against smaller and more agile opponents who are able to punish him after a missed punch or kick due to the time it takes for the extended limb to recoil back to normal time before he can attack again. It can basically open him up to a free hit from any opponent capable of taking advantage of an opening.

WEAPON

Name: Kraftknogar (Swedish for Power Knuckles)

Primary Form: Bracers

Dust Functions: When he puts dust into his weapon his fist becomes surrounded with energy from whatever element the dust corresponds to. For example if he has fire dust his fist will be consumed by flame energy.

Secondary Form: Pistols

History: He built his weapon as a requirement for completing his training at Signal. He originally planned on building only the bracers but realized later on that he will probably need it to turn into some kind of gun in case he runs out of aura.

Also, I'd suggest making your first character for Vale/Beacon. You're absolutely free to make your character wherever you want, but there's not much (read: no) activity in Atlas/Haven/Shade outside of mayyyyyyyyyybe a closed team thread.

Bobby is actually already from Vale.

I will however take your suggestion of making him go to Beacon.

Good thinking with the Google translate.

However I thought the Swedish translation was cooler so I chose that one.

Post by: Vision on October 22, 2017, 06:49:18 PM: I would have recommended the Norwegian tranlation (Kraftknokkler) however thats actually too many K's, I'll give you that one Sweeds but we win at everything else! Muhahah

Joking aside looking good :D There are a few trying to breathe some life into the other schools but as Gus said its probably best to start at Beacon.

The main thing I'd like to see expanded upon is the combat behaviour, what are his strengths and just as importantly what are some weaknesses with his skill set.

I expanded on the combat behavior portion.

If there's anything else that needs expanding on or editing let me know.

Take yer time, Greenie.

BTW, "Brosiedan" should be a nickname for Neptune.
