Weight: 115 pounds
Hair: Blonde, with bangs down to her shoulders and a ponytail which also reaches down to her shoulders.
Eyes: Blue
Build: Lithe, fairly well toned muscles, slightly skinny
Caja is fairly short and also quite thin, giving her a mildly feeble or weak looking appearance. Despite her outward appearance her body is actually quite lean, modest amounts of muscle mass visible on her abs and limbs, giving her a decent amount of wiry strength. While she is stronger than she may first appear, she still isn't too strong, focusing on athletic skill over raw physical power. Her pale skin is matched nicely by her pale eyes and blonde hair, which she usually keeps tied up in some way in order to prevent it from becoming a nuisance (and mostly because she's too lazy to maintain it well). A pair of brown, slightly droopy canine ears peak out from her hair and a similarly-coloured tail is found protruding from her lower back.
Caja wears fairly alternate clothing, mainly consisting of ankle-high or knee-high leather boots, denim jeans, denim shorts, Daisy Dukes or BDSM pants. Up top, she wears t-shirts with logos of her favourite bands and leather or denim jackets. Around her neck, she also wears a black leather collar, which has heart-shaped tag attached. On one side of the tag reads her name, and the reverse displays a jagged J-shaped symbol. Her choice of clothing is heavily influenced by the fashion of her favourite music genre, crossover-thrash, hence all of the leather, denim and metal involved in her clothing choices.
Despite most beacon students having a set attire for their combat endeavours, Caja doesn't bother. She just wears her regular clothing except with an added military-style belt to hold her weapons and ammo.
History:
Caja’s history is heavily influenced by her mother’s, so let me begin there… Caja’s mother, Bryluen, was not a huntress or anything remarkable and special. She simply got a basic non-combat education in Vale and left schooling as soon as possible to pursue a career for money, partially due to a lack of academic skill, but also due to her greediness. Not exactly the best decision in hindsight, but whatever. At one of her jobs, she met a faunus hunter, by the name of Cerdic Gewissae. At the time, Bryluen thought that it would be a great idea to start dating Cerdic. Soon enough, the two were in a relationship with a child on the way, while they were in a relationship, it wasn’t exactly the most friendly one, arguments were fairly common and the divide between the two became greater as time went on, eventually culminating into physical altercations. Along with rumours that Cerdic had been spotted involving himself with the White Fang, this was the final straw for Bryluen. Deciding to no longer endure her current relationship, Bryluen left Cerdic and secretly moved to a small island off of the coast of Vale in order to break any chance of contact with Cerdic or his new found friends in order to protect her child.
The island Caja was born on had a very low population of around five thousand inhabitants, most of which were older couples who had moved there to escape the busy city-life of the mainland. Due to this low population and higher than average age, Caja found it quite hard to socialise with children of her age and therefore spent most of her childhood alone, only really having proper contact with her mother, and even that was spent during the times that she was free from work. Due to this lack of interaction at a young age, Caja still has a deep desire for making friends and socialising with almost everybody she meets, leading to her rather boisterous personality at times. As Caja grew older, she realised that her mother was struggling somewhat with financial issues, she managed to care for the pair and pay the bills, but she was forced to work multiple jobs at once in order to maintain this level of income, which upset Caja slightly and lead to the main motivation for her future career. Once she was old enough, Caja decided that she would get a job to help her mother with her monetary issues, the girl realised that she was most probably not intelligent enough for mosts fields of work, so decided on the one thing she was good at, her physical capabilities. Settling on following the career of becoming a huntress, Caja soon joined Signal academy once she was old enough to learn and improve her combat skills. By the end of the first segment of her educational career, it was evident that Caja excelled in combative topics and studies, but her more in depth and academic subjects were lacking. Despite her clear flaws and weaknesses, she managed to scrape a pass for the Beacon entrance exams due to gaining high scores in her areas of excellence
Now, with her exams out of the way, Caja has started her first year of Beacon academy, coming one step closer to her end goal of becoming a financially successful huntress.
Personality:
Due to her early years of loneliness and isolation to people of her age group which persisted until she began her enrollment at Signal, the girl was affected fairly oddly. Instead of becoming withdrawn and introverted like one would expect, the girl has become quite the opposite, she is extremely extroverted and friendly with the majority of people she meets, attempting to befriend or at least communicate with as many as people as possible, mostly to make up for the time she spent alone in her early years. Her lust for friendship and contact with others can be quite off-putting to others, especially if they don’t share her state of mind, and may lead to irritation to people who merely want to be left alone.
One issue with her mannerisms that opposes her friendliness and makes her social life more difficult is her own personal idea of humour or comedy. Caja’s idea of ‘fun’ mostly consists of irritating people and attempting to generally piss them off. She accomplishes this by mostly petty annoyances, teasing, berating and mocking people as well many more childish actions. Due to this, many of the people she wishes to befriend can be driven away due to her attitude, clashing with her desire for friendship, merely making it more difficult for herself.
Another thing which can prevent her from having the social life which she desires is her completely outspoken racism against faunus. While this may appear strange at first, considering the girl is one herself, the cause of her dislike for the faunus is due to her father. While she had both faunus and human parents, her father left her in favour to join a terrorist organisation, but her mother stayed with her. Due to the contrast between parents, Caja has broadly generalised this to everyone, causing her to view humans as better than faunus quite often. This audacious racism can cause both faunus and politically-correct humans to take an instant dislike to her, further handicapping her fraternisation.
In general, Caja has an extremely laid back attitude to most things, often ignoring or half-assing tasks such as schoolwork or other tasks she deems ‘unimportant’. Her extreme lack of determination and general apathy towards many things can often lead to issues, both for herself, and those who require her assistance with anything.
Aura and Semblance:
(Totally not reused from that other character I made that one time, which I retconned) Her semblance is very useful for her fighting style, it allows her to teleport to anywhere she can picture in her head, for example, if Caja pictured herself sitting on a bench 5 meters to her left, she would teleport onto the bench, just as she had pictured herself. This semblance has some limitations however, Caja has to picture the place she wants to go to in her head, meaning that she must be able to see it at the current time, or have the image of it in her memory, places she has never been before cannot be pictured in her head, meaning that she can't teleport there. The semblance uses about 1% of Caja's aura per meter teleported, meaning that she could make 100 teleportations of 1 meter each, or one teleportation of 100m, but this would use up all of her aura, completely draining her and rendering unable to use her semblance until she has recharged it. Caja can also move other people with her as long as they are touching her, but this uses double the base aura per extra person being teleported, and will drain her much more rapidly.
Her aura colour is a fiery red colour.
Combat Behavior:
Caja's main focus is her speed, she can run up to speeds of around 23 mph and also has very good reaction speed, so she can see attacks and react to them quickly to avoid them. To help with her speed, she also has very high stamina, meaning that she can continue fighting for a long time before getting tired. Her confidence is also useful as she will sometimes use risky tactics, which can be quite beneficial... If they work.
Caja's main method of attack is rapid hit-and-run style attacks. She will dart into combat, swinging or shooting in rapid succession, before retreating again. She often uses her raw speed to suit this method of attack, but will also regularly use her semblance to get in and out fast.
Her main weakness in combat is that she has to get close to her foes to be effective due to her fighting style and weapons, but when in range this is no longer a problem, however, the act of getting in range may prove difficult. Her confidence is also a weakness, as she can sometimes be over confident and her tactics can fail, which usually leads to bad consequences or arguments with her team leader. Due to having a smaller build than most, she isn't very durable in battle and can't take many hits, hence the hit-and-run style combat being favoured.
WEAPON
Name:
Calesvol
Primary Form:
Dual identical 10.2x25.1mm handguns with 15 round magazines, but can also accept shorter 10 round magazines which are used in stealth-combat as they give a lower profile and are much lighter. The pistols can fire many types of ammunition including hollow points for soft targets, full metal jacket for armoured targets and even small explosive rounds. They both can fire as fast as the trigger is pulled, giving a potentially high rate of fire. Due to the power of the cartridge and the weight of the pistols, there is quite a lot of recoil, meaning that long range repetitive firing is not a viable tactic most of the time, forcing Caja to move in close if she desires to be effective in combat. While the round does not have the best accuracy in the world, it's not exactly sub-par in that field either. The custom 10mm rounds also have a large amount of energy behind them, reaching around 1350J with a 165 grain projectile, in other words, they do a lot of damage. The weapons can also accept under barrel attachments, such as flashlights or laser pointers.
The rounds are custom made by Caja, using commercially available 11.5x30.4mm brass which she shortens and necks down to accept a smaller 10.2mm bullet, leading to a lower overall energy output and wound capability, but less recoil, higher velocity and higher armour penetration.
Secondary Form:
The two pistols combine together to form the hilt of a sword, whilst a blade extends from the gap between the two weapons, forming a short-sword with an overall length of 114cm and a blade length of 89cm The blade is double-edged with a point at the tip, allowing for slashing and stabbing attacks. The sword is fairly light, weighing in at 2kg, allowing for pretty rapid attacks. Whilst the sword is fairly deadly on it's own, the pistols in the hilt can be fired with a trigger, causing the recoiling forces of the pistols to form a couple and exert torque on the blade, causing it to spin rapidly in the hilt, creating a kind of drill-blade. The rotating effect of the sword is great for deflecting blows from grimm or other melee weapons, but can also shred flesh if a hit is landed with it, creating a very large wound cavity.
Dust Functions:
None, other than dust-tipped bullets she will sometimes buy.
History:
She custom made her weapons especially for her and to fit her combat style during her time in Signal academy. Along with designing the custom rounds used in it.
