CHARACTER

Name:
Inigo Celeste

Age:


Species and Gender:
Male Stag Faunus

Symbol:
Stag head with an overgrown bow and blade on each side

Occupation:
 Beacon Student

Appearance:
Inigo is a 5'7" 143 Lbs guy with a medium build and broad shoulders. He has a rugged yet stoic style look, athletic muscle from a life of labor and discipline but nothing over the top. He has deep blue eyes that show wisdom beyond his years and old soul. He has medium length brown hair that often puts up into a pony tail and short well kept beard. He has a tattoo of Stag like crest on his right bicep, the Stag is the emblem of the village and represents a promise to put his family, the town, and ultimately his home first. The rest of his arm, going down to his wrist, is adorned with a tattooed armor complete with chain mail and plates adorned with runes and roots giving it an earthy nature theme to it. He often wears a plaid jacket lined with fur with a hoodie under it. In milder weather though he tends to stick with a simple plaid flannel and the occasional vest and tie if he feels like dressing up.  Choosing to stay light he sticks to Kevlar and chainmail under his outfit mainly relying on his semblance and aura when the need arises. He wears leather bracers, gloves, knee-pads and boots for some extra protection but not much else. While out of combat he leaves behind the pads and the rest of his under armor but nothing else really changes. During school hours though he wears the uniform as it should but is quick to change back due to feeling uncomfortable without his flannel.

History:
Inigo grew up in a small forest town in the north side of Vale, raised by his two parents Libra and Aries along side his younger brother Leo. Libra and Aries were huntsman who decided to retire early and raise their children away from the hustle and bustle of the main cities, but they weren't the first, this little village in the forest was a common destination for huntsman who wanted to raise children after retiring. Throughout his childhood Inigo always strove to grow up as quickly as possible and become a huntsman like his parents; he loved learning to smith with his dad and learning to heal from his mom. Inigo spent most of his childhood hunting with his father, learning to track his prey and avoid grimm and if necessary fight them. Hunting was his life, but becoming a huntsman slowly became more and more of a dream, as a member of the village he had a job to do, he was now a provider, a defender, and now a medic for his village, they needed him. On his 18th birthday, after a successful day of hunting he noticed a crowd, a courier was accepting forms for the beacon acceptance test. Once he figured out what was going on he said "Screw it, I got nothing better to do...". Quickly wrote up his credentials and sent it off. A few weeks later a ship arrived bringing the applicants to the test site. So he put down his smithing tools and took the ship "Maybe this will be fun and hey who knows maybe I'll become a huntsman" he said sarcastically; and he did and he loved it, he finally had the chance to test the skills he trained so hard to gain. As happy as he was he knew it wouldn't last, so with a somber heart he returned to his daily life of hunting. No longer than 3 weeks later he received a letter explaining how he received a letter of acceptance. Hunting animals and hunting grimm were not that far apart in discipline, but Inigo was by no means expecting to actually get in. He was instantly intrigued with the idea of this becoming his new profession, "Surely there were others capable of hunting for food besides him, and he only took a shift at the guard when his father was working late, mother could run the apothecary without me right?... No I couldn't leave they needed me... but this is such a promising offer..." Inigo was torn between obligation and opportunity, so he went to the one place he knew he could get an answer from, home. That very night Inigo went to his parents for their opinion on the matter. They were ecstatic at the news but, after they heard his plight they understood his grief "Inigo, you are overreacting, yes, you are hunter, but so is your cousin Virgo, and regarding your other jobs, you only serve at the post when your father is working late, and I may be old but I'm not senile! I can handle the apothecary by myself." His mother lectured with a understanding smile, "My son, you are a fine smith and carpenter an even finer warrior, make us proud" his father nodded and shoved him out the door. With a new sense of drive he was off, but before he left he got a tattoo to commemorate his departure, a stag on his right bicep and roots with runes of luck across his arm.

Personality:
Inigo is by all means your overprotective big brother, you mess with the ones he loves you're gonna pay. Earning his care though is tough considering his distrust of new people, he will protect you as it is his duty, but little more. If you earn his favor though he is a very loving and caring ally, he will go to the ends of the earth to keep you safe and happy. Never one to leave an ally in need or an ally at all, he is incredibly loyal and is very forgiving if he sees hope in you. He's a softy at heart but is by no means a pushover in the sight of conflict, like previously stated you mess with him or his loved ones he will mess you up, verbally or otherwise. Wisdom is his strong suite, intellect... eh not so much. He was by no means dumb but school is tough for him, he hated just sitting around, rather than learning about how to fight grimm he wanted to practice it, he wanted to feel the rush of adrenaline not the feeling of spitballs on the back of his neck... He kept a passing grade though. He is an introvert at heart, often disappearing if he deems there are too many people around either to the woods or somewhere where work is needed to be done. He loves to stay busy either smithing, chopping wood, hunting or baking (Don't judge, it calms him). You can often find him fixing other students weapons, giving the result of his hunt to families in need, or giving his friends and the less fortunate his famous apple pies. You might even spot him giving out caramel apples to children if he doesn't see you. He is a fully trained medic capable of ALS and most field based medicine but is working on learning more.  He is a guardian and a creator, he lives to a preserve and protect life, "I live to protect the weak, heal the hurt of those in need, and preserve what's left."     

Aura and Semblance:
Inigo's aura has a dark greenish color to it, the color of evergreens on a snowy night. Inigo's semblance is the ability to manifest ethereal armor out of his aura and if necessary send it to others in need to use. The armor is a manifestation of his aura so when it runs out so will the armor. If the armor is over exerted by excessive damage or overexertion of the user, the piece that is being damaged will break. If the armor is broken it will stay broken till the next sunrise.  More often than not it will be in the form of angelic themed scale armor. Summoning the armor costs 10% of his aura and a following 3% for every minute the armor is still manifested. If Inigo is summoning the armor to himself and it being used by him the cost is cut in half.   
   
Depending on the amount of energy and focus exerted the aura will exert a certain level of protection and capabilities along with the dust used:


Falcon Armor (Wind Dust) : Very little protection but high mobility boost, adds wings allowing the user to glide. Focus Level: High Aura cost: 20%


Snow Leopard Armor (Ice Dust): Less than average protection above average mobility boost, added stealth plating allowing the armor to reflect nearby colors (Not invisibility just color adaption) Focus level: Medium Aura cost:10%


Stag armor (No dust needed): Average level protection and mobility boost, Heals the user while active Focus level: Low Aura cost: 5%


Wolf armor (Fire Dust): Above average level protection and less than average mobility boost, allows the user to counter easier either with the armor itself or with the user's weapon Focus level: Medium Aura cost:10%


Bear Armor (Earth): High level or protection, little to no mobility boost, the user cannot be knocked down, stunned or any from of physical cc while using this armor, in this form the user is considerably stronger and heavier if Inigo wishes it to be.  Focus level: High Aura cost:20%


(All extra capabilities are done by modding the armor pieces and dust, Ex:The Wolf armor has added spikes and sharpened plates that allow extra damage and the way the armor is formed allows the user to fluidly counter without flinching and has a flame enhancement. The speed boost is simply the armor moving with/for the user pushing them along, it is Inigo moving the armor that is increasing the speed nothing extra.)


A shield can also be created at will alongside the armor but requires extra aura
Buckler: 2%
Greek: 4%
Heater: 8%
Kite:10%
Tower: 20%


Concentration Key:
Low: Easily able to fight, like being able to remember what day it is while doing another task
Less: Minor focus allowing simpler strikes and counters nothing fancy, trying to remember to lyrics of a song while performing a task
Average: Focusing at it's core allowing movement and muscle memory, Having a conversation
More: Heavier focusing allowing regular movement and instinct, studying something
High: All attention and focus is on this task he can't move but will react anything more and the armor will fade


Dust affects the armor regarding the effects on the user and it's enemies who come in contact with it, Ex.Stone armor allows for more stability and protection and allows the user to exert more force with melee weapons. The armor can move without a host but must be controlled by Inigo with a medium level of focus.

Combat Behavior:
Inigo is a back line support tank hybrid often opting to shoot arrows and move his armor from ally to ally in need from the treetops but, more often than not, he jumps into the fray blade in hand jumping between allies in need. His over-protectiveness is a weakness as much as it is a strength, as a more defensive huntsman, he thrives countering attacks and dueling enemies but, in a team fight he can help allies but only one at a time without throwing off his focus. Countering and supporting take a fair amount of focus and with one small error Inigo can snowball into further issues if he does not take a moment to correct himself and take breath to refocus.

WEAPON

Name:
Sovereignty

Primary Form:
Salvation is A 8 foot tall long bow perfect for distant targets, because of it's size and the amount of force needed to wield it Inigo must be be in a stationary state. When in position Inigo sends 3 ft long arrows weighing around a pound each usually allowing him to carry 10 in his quiver   

Secondary Form:
Deliverance is A 4 foot tall compound bow allowing for mid range combat with high damage, with a push of a button the bow can shatter the arrow on release to have a shotgun like effect. These arrows a foot and a half long and weigh half the weight of their older brethren allowing for Inigo to carry about 30 of these with no issue. Inigo is also known for carrying syringe arrows filled with healing mixtures, nothing fancy a few arrows to boosts aura regeneration, basic healing, and some antidotes. Inigo tends to carry about 15 out of the 30 of these.     

Tertiary Form:
Transcendence:A 5 foot tall curved long sword allowing for easy parrying and quick engagements. The shape of the blade allows for fluid motions and easy countering.

Dust Functions:
Each form has a compartment the size of a pistol magazine that allows the arrows to have an elemental effect. Fire sets the arrows on fire, ice freezes the point of impact etc. In blade form it will apply an explosive knock back when parrying incoming attacks.

Transformation:
When transforming the bow from salvation to deliverance the bow limbs simply fold in on themselves locking in creating a smaller yet more powerful bow. When moving to transcendence the bows limbs collapse on themselves forming one 5 ft blade.


History:
His father being a smith, insisted Inigo learn to forge his own weapon and swore to only give verbal help and advice. Rather than metal being his medium Inigo found wood and carpentry more fun and easier to work with. After working 2 years from the age 13 he finally worked out all the kinks and crafted his own weapon, not of steel or iron, but of wood. The weapon is made a strong lightweight wood using pulleys and slots rather than gears and metal, with exception of the bladed limbs for transcendence. Over the years it has been modified and adjusted with flame retardant lacquer and metal frame work to keep the bow durable. It may be made of wood but it's quite strong, even after 3 years of hunting it has not rotted, faded or been affected by age or the elements.

Have you decided how old Inigo is going to be? Or at least what year he is in?
No criticism is too harsh so hit me with your best shot.

Well that's good more the merrier as always. The only only real criticism I have is, and I feel this is 80% of all my criticisms on character on this site, is that the semblance does a little bit too much. I'm aware it's incorporating dust but as well as being a suit of armour(as an aside I'd also put how much damage the armour can take before breaking) with possible shield it gives Inigo or others; ability to glide, a stealth boost, a mobility boost, a strength boost and/or immunity to cc. That's a lot of flexibility and although some require Inigo to have all his attention on maintaining the armour(another aside, does that focus chart apply when the armour is on himself? For example if he's in bear armour is Inigo basically an immovable rock?) might make some of the mods worried. Not saying they will disallowing outright just be prepared to make some changes.

However, other than that I really like this character. It looks like you've spent a fair bit of time thinking about him so good job. If all your friends put this much effort in we will be lucky to have you.
