CHARACTER
Name: Argent Grae
Age: 17
Species and Gender: Male elephant faunus
Symbol: A black, diagonal hammer with a grey circular background.
Occupation: First year Beacon student
Appearance: Argent is a tall man, no shy of 6 ft; weighing 185 lbs. He has long silver hair, with bangs that he brushes to either side of his face.He ties the rest of his hair into a ponytail. He has dark grey eyes with small pupils. Argent has tusks that come out from his cheeks, and are fairly big, for a faunus.
Most of the time, Argent is in his combat outfit, which is made of black trousers, a grey, open coat and a thin, silver shirt, with big black boots to cap it off. His symbol is on the back of his coat.
History: Argent grew up in Vale, though was originally born in Vacuo. He only lived in Vacuo for the first few years of his life, so he doesn't remember it much, but he knows from what his parents told him that he lived in a small village until he was almost three, the family had to leave, though. His parents never really told him why; they shied away from the question. Argent believe that they must have done something bad, having to leave the kingdom.
While he lived with his family, he never really spent that much time with them. Argent was always training. He thought that he couldn't get by in the world if he wasn't strong enough to destroy his enemies, though with his parents being protective and faunae, he didn't actually know who his enemies were. It was one day when Argent was training in the woods, which he probably shouldn't have, when he was attacked by a beowolf that was absolutely huge compared to the small boy. Luckily for him, the beowolf was a stray from a small pack of Grimm. A pack that was being hunted. One second later and Argent would have taken his last breath, but, his scared thoughts were interrupted by the sound of fire-dust crackling through the air and hitting its mark.
The kind huntsmen helped the boy to safety, but not before teaching him of huntsmen and huntresses and the wonders they do.
That's what he had to do, he knew it. He had to become a huntsman. He would train even harder, which, honestly was not very intense as he was so young, until he was ready to apply to one of the many combat schools, though Argent chose Signal academy.
For the next four years Argent attended Signal, excited that there were those with the same passion as him there. When he completed his four years of combat school Argent knew that he would go to Beacon, as that was where the "kind huntsman" went. He had just arrived at Beacon and was know ready for what it had in store for him.
Personality: Argent was always determined. He knew that if he were to get what he wanted he would have to work hard. Though, spending a lot of his time alone, Argent is a quiet man. Though, he opened up more when he went to Signal. He found out the hard way that there is a huge wave of discrimination toward him, as he is a faunus so he is only trusting of the humans that he knows; ready to spring into action - just in case. Argent is also protective of his friends, as few as he may of had, and acts as a shield to them, though he focuses on the problems of others instead of his own.
Aura and Semblance: Argent has a decent amount of aura, though he generally pays it no mind. One would expect a man of his fighting style to have much more aura, though he is constantly switching weapon modes so he does not rely on it as much as a close combat fighter.
He calls his semblance "Tension" and is the ability that he relies on the most. He charges an "elastic band" of aura attached to two things and when he lets go it slings one at the other. He mainly uses this on his hammer so he can hit faster, though he knows that it is possible to use it on himself but he doesn't have the time in a battle to calculate the correct position he has to be in for that to work properly.
He can only charge for a second as if he does more, he has the risk that he dislocates his arms, or the aura snaps. Too little and his swing isn't strong enough, nor fast enough.
Argent can use this on his opponent, but doesn't as it is not to the same effect as with his hammer.
For an unbiased swing (no gravity working for him) Argent would use about 5% of his aura, but for him using his aura on a bigger object it will take up 10% or higher, with a higher possibility of the aura snapping.
Combat Behavior: Argent was always taller and bigger than the other boys, mainly because of his faunus heritage, so he is more of a tank class - backing up his friends in a fight. He would generally be the first one into the fight, trying to get the enemies attention, though his bane are people too fast for him to attack; so he likes to have some backup himself.
WEAPON
Name: Silber Brecher
Primary Form: A seven foot long silver hammer that has various random patterns and designs engraved on it. It has a long cuboid for a head, with one side being able to fold out in a "partial transformation". This lets use of dust in hammer form, though it is limited as the large opening only allows close range dust-use.
Secondary Form: The hammer folds down and down into a cannon, letting the opening in the weapon shrink more and more. The handle also folds up, and splits in the middle, giving a not-so-accurate sight, though sight enough for a cannon. The weapon folds around Argent's arm, with a trigger at his fingertips, ready to be pressed.
Tertiary Form: The last form of Silber Brechen is the neutral form. In this form the cannon shifts so it is in safe mode, the trigger being gone, and the sight removed. In this form Argent can easily sling the weapon around him so it hangs at his side - easily accessible.
Dust Functions: Argent uses ice and gravity dust in both forms of his weapon, gravity for knockback and ice to make enemies immobile.
History: Argent forged his weapon when he was at Signal academy. He had a lot of help from his teachers as he was never really around weapons. Though, Argent came up with all of the designs, as he spent his time training with logs and trees, he thought it best to make a hammer, and the cannon came with the size of the hammer. It was his proudest moment, making his weapon, and proudest it very well may stay.
