Counterpart: Pandora

Appearance:

Height: 1.57m / 5'2”
]Weight: 47kg / 104 lbs
Eye Color: Pale violet red
Build: Thin
Hair Style: Crimson most often puts her hair in a low ponytail. For moments when she is more focused on her appearance then on combat, she styles her hair in a right-side swept style
Hair Color: Black
Skin Color: Olive
Distinguishing Features: Crimson has nothing in the way of scars, deformities, or birthmarks, but does take the time to do her makeup. For her eyes, Crimson uses a red eye shadow, with black eye liner and mascara. She also utilizes foundation and concealer to compliment her olive complexion, but uses a brighter shade of blush, in an effort to hide how often she actually blushes. For her lips, she uses a lighter shade of red lipstick, and matching lip gloss.
Attire: Crimson has five outfits she uses during her time at Beacon, one for combat, one for casual wear, her school uniform, a pair of pajamas, and one for proper events, such as the Beacon Dance.

For combat, starting from the head, Crimson wears a red bandit mask, which she raises to cover her mouth when in combat. Atop her shoulders sits a red half cloak, which can be drawn over her left arm, and covers her back down to her waist, though ends where it wraps over right shoulder, leaving her favored arm and hand exposed. The back of the cloak has a hood as well, which can be pulled over head and ponytail. The cloak covers her shoulders completely, wrapped around as it is, and hides her neck as well in combination with her mask. Below this, she also wears a gold necklace, with a ruby insert that rests just above her cleavage, a gift from her mother. A breastplate starts with an open v-pattern of overlapping, thin plates at the top, with patterns that angle down to a flat ridge that ends above her bellybutton. Atop her breastplate, a strap runs beneath her right armpit, and back across to a left, circular shoulder pauldron, holding both the pauldron and cloak in place as well as adding some protection to her off-hand shoulder. The pauldron bears the carving of an eye with a teardrop at the forefront, with a spear behind it, Crimson's symbol. Theis symbol is painted red, though the rest of the pauldron is a mix of beige and sand, as well as her breastplate. On each arm, Crimson wears a bracer that begins beneath each elbow, and ends at the wrist. Beneath her bracers, she wears long, crimson gloves, that cover her fingers and end just below her shoulder. At the waist, Crimson wears sand colored pants that match her armor and reach down to her ankles. On the outer and inner side of each leg, a crimson stripe runs down the length of her leg, ending at her ankles as well. Her belt is also red, and acts as her pockets, with slots that contain the ammo for her weapon, a small clip for a wallet or handbag, and a folding case to protect and hold her scroll. On the right of the belt, a beige cloth hangs, also bearing her symbol in crimson, and ends at her knee. Both the edge of this cloth, and her cloak, appear tattered at the end, though this is due to personal choice in appearance and not due to actual damage to the garments received in combat. On her right leg, Crimson wears a beige colored, two-plate tasset fastened by leather straps at the back of her thigh. On both legs, Crimson also wears greaves that cover the front and back of her shins, in a beige color with sand patterns. Lastly, beneath her greaves but above her pants, Crimson wears a pair of knee high, red, high heeled boots, which have a fold at the top. These boots are secured in the front by sand colored laces, and have a circle of beige coloring by the ankles.

Crimson's school outfit is like that of every other students, choosing to do nothing to modify the clothing save her choice to wear black pantyhose rather then leave her legs exposed.

For her pajamas, Crimson wears a sand colored, silk caftan dress to bed.

Crimson's more formal dress is a gift from her aunt, before she left for Beacon. The dress is a crimson color, with sand accented bead work along the strapless upper end, the midriff, and the hem. The bottom of the dress ends with a second, interior layer at the knee that is also sand colored, but ends with its own set of red beadwork. Both sides of the dress are cut just above the knee, before the second layer of the dress begins. So far, Crimson has only worn this dress once, during her interview with Ozpin, while trying to gain entry to Beacon.

Her last outfit is her casual attire, which she utilizes when she goes out to the city, visits home, or simply plans to relax all day. This outfit consists of a crimson, v-neck, long sleeve blouse, a pair of sand colored short shorts, a black belt that she wears at a slight angle and which carries her scroll, black pantyhose, and a pair of sand colored open toe heels.

Weapons and Abilities:

Weapon: Nomad Aspiration

Crimson', like all students at Signal Academy, designed and created her weapon herself. In memory of her mother, Crimson's base weapon takes the form of a spear, with a number of varying forms.

One-handed Spear – The base form of Crimson's weapon is a two-handed spear, that is 4'2” / 1.27m in length. The blade is colored crimson and sand, in stripes that run the length of the haft. At the rear end of the spear, a narrow strip of beige cloth with Crimson's symbol in red hangs loose. The tip of the spear is made up of six individual blades, placed evenly around the haft, which meet to form a broadhead point in the center. Because of the inset mechanism, these tips can retract towards the haft, allowing them to spring forward on impact with an opponent, or fold outward, causing internal damage after penetration. When not in use, Crimson can hang the spear on the back strap of her shoulder pauldron, keeping it out of the way,

Two-handed Spear – Using a periscopic design, the haft of the spear can extend outward, increasing the length of the blade to 6'6” / 2m. Due to Crimson's small stature, this allows her to use the weapon as a pike in addition to her capabilities to wield it in a fashion similar to a quarterstaff.

Rope Dart – The third function of the weapon can be used while the spear is retracted into its one-handed version. The top 6 inches of the weapon, including the blade, can be fired out from the weapon, and used in a fashion similar to a rope dart. At a maximum, the spear head can be shot a maximum of thirty meters before it's metal cable runs out, and with the spearpoints folded outward, allows the weapon to be used in a manner similar to a grappling hook. This allows Crimson to scale buildings quickly, or alternatively grapple opponents to pull them closer. The haft can be used to manually retract the cable, or determine the distance at which the spearhead shoots.

RPG – The last and final function of the Nomad Aspiration is it's transformation into a rocket propelled grenade launcher. In this mode, the spearheads retract into the haft, and the haft itself expands, unfurling an interior curl to widen the haft into a barrel. Two handles fold down from the expanding haft during this time, the forward of which has a trigger. A few inches in front of the trigger mechanism, a crosshair folds outward above the haft, giving Crimson some limited ability to aim. Only a single shot of this weapon is permitted before it becomes necessary for Crimson to reload, the projectile itself formed from a cylinder of dust ammo dropped down the front of the barrel. As with most weapons, these shots will have different effects dependent upon the type of dust used.

Equipment: Aside from her weapons and armor, there are a few other things Crimson carries around with her. The most important of these is her scroll, which she has a protective pouch for on her belt. Another clip on the belt is used to hold a wallet, that contains a few things, including a credit card given by her aunt, some Lien, and a photo of Crimson with her mother and father. The rest of the belt is occupied single use dust cylinders of varying types to use with her weapon. Lastly, Crimson typically carries a pair of beige and black headphones, which she uses in tandem with her scroll to listen to music.
Abilities: Because of her size, Crimson is weak compared to most other hunters and huntresses. What she lacks in strength however, she makes up for in agility. Quick and nimble, Crimson finds it easier to dodge around an opponent, tiring them out before making a strike. If quick enough to make a strike, Crimson chooses to cut at the ankles or elbows, avoiding direct confrontation with her opponent before she is convinced she can beat them. If she feels an opponent outmatches her, she will usually retreat in an attempt to fight them on her own terms. To do this, she utilizes steam dust fired from her weapon to create a smokescreen, uses the fireable spearpoint to pull herself away from danger, or uses the blast from her shot to propel herself out of the fray. As a compliment to her fighting style, Crimson has grown skilled in avoiding combat entirely, adept at moving silently and remaining unseen when she chooses.
Other Skills: With some teaching from her uncle, Crimson has a basic understanding of business and finance, though she makes little use of it. Her aunt has turned her into a passable cook and given her an interest in books. Before her mother and fathers disappearance, they taught her some limited survival and tracking skills. Though too shy to do so publicly, Crimson is a fairly good singer, though she only practices when no one can hear her. Lastly, despite Signal Academy being located on island, Crimson never learned to swim, and had no opportunities during her time in the deserts of Vacuo.
Aura: Sand
Semblance: TBD

Personality:

On the surface, Crimson does her best to put on a front of cheerfulness, compassion, confidence, and a cool head. Beneath the surface however, her emotions are like a whirlpool. Crimson has near crippling self doubt, compiled with a hefty dose of anxiety. She grows embarrassed and blushes heavily at even the simplest things. To those she begins to trust, Crimson grows very protective, due to her abandonment issues that developed with the disappearance of her parents. A breach of that trust can leave her emotionally crippled for a time, though despite her issues Crimson manages to carry on in the most difficult situations.

Crimson stays quiet around strangers, and only finds herself talkative among those she considers her friends. Her anxiety makes her a poor leader, and causes her to constantly second guess her actions, with a fear that a mistake will ruin others opinions of her. She is slow to anger, but fast to cry, and the former never occurs without the latter happening first. When happy, she displays an excitability for the moment at hand, though this mood is easily spoiled. These things have made her shy, and she rarely approaches others whom she does not yet know. It is difficult for her to make friends for this reason, and after her transfer to Signal she failed to find anyone whom she would consider a close friend.

History:

Crimson was born to father Chrys Dune, and mother Dahlia Garnet, in a small village nestled in the deserts of Vacuo. A small village with only a few hundred residents, Crimson grew up in relative safety. With its distance from the major cities, the village of Cold Rocks was thankful to have her parents as residents, both of whom had trained at Shade Academy. Even at a young age, her parents began grooming Crimson to one day became a huntress herself, teaching her as best they could in the small village before it would be time for her to attend a combat school. With only a few other children her age to play with in the village, Crimson rarely found herself getting into trouble or mischief. On some occasions, the family would be visited by her aunt Sapphire, her mother's sister that had married a hunter from Beacon.

For a time, life was good, but the world of Remnant is not kind to its inhabitants. With the creatures of Grimm posing a constant threat, travel outside the kingdom cities could be a deadly threat to those untrained. With a need to support themselves, Crimson's parents would take turns with odd jobs. From protecting caravans, to eliminating pockets of Grimm, and occasionally acting as enforcers, all went smoothly. Eventually, Crimson came of age, and was brought to Shelter Academy, one of the smaller combat schools scattered throughout the kingdom of Vacuo.

Crimson found the first year at the school marvelous, and pushed herself to her limits. Despite her size, she quickly began to mold into an adept fighter, excelling in agility and acrobatics. The picture of a model student, Crimson spent weeks working on designing her weapon – a broad scimitar and buckler. When the design was finally finished, nearing her fourteenth birthday, her mother gifted her a ruby necklace to commemorate Crimson taking her first steps to become a huntress. With Crimson at school, her parents returned to their calling, taking jobs together now that they no longer needed to protect their daughter constantly. As Crimson began the process of crafting her to-be weapon, her parents set out to protect another caravan traveling between the desert villages.

The first signs that something had went wrong came when the caravan never arrived at the next village, and after a week missing, a team of hunters in training at Shade Academy went to track down the the missing convoy. Worried for her sister, Crimson's aunt and uncle accompanied them, prepared to scour the desert to find her missing sibling. When the expedition finally returned, Crimson quickly found herself in tears when her aunt reported that not a trace of them had been found. Though her aunt was convinced her sister no longer lived, Crimson refused to believe her mother and father had died, and took her yet unfinished weapons to try and find them.

Stricken by grief and a feeling of abandonment, Crimson traveled for two days in the desert searching, growing hungry, dehydrated, and emotionally distraught before her aunt finally caught her. Forced to return and give up the search for her own safety, Crimson cast her weapons away, leaving them behind in the desert sand. Despite concern from her aunt Sapphire, Crimson became adamant that she no longer wanted to become a huntress.

The weeks that followed left Crimson in tears on a daily basis, as gravestones were made, placed at Cold Rocks village and a funeral ceremony was held. Through all this, she continued to deny that her parents had passed, but with no family to take care of her, Crimson was taken with her aunt and uncle back to Vale. The city was a sprawling nightmare to Crimson, who had grown up in an endless desert, but the months that followed had her able to adjust. Her uncle Cordovan Steel owned a rather successful metal refinery in the industrial district, and Crimson suddenly found herself living in the lap of luxury.

As time grew long, Crimson inevitably became bored without her schooling, at at a reluctant request her aunt and uncle were more then happy to let her resume her schooling. Enrolling at Signal Academy on Patch, Crimson found herself behind in her abilities and studies. Having abandoned her previous weapon, Crimson was forced to create another. In memory of her mother, who had used a spear, she began her work on the designs for Nomad Aspiration. Despite her abilities, Crimson's schooling suffered from her broken spirit. Her successes did little to assuage her growing insecurity, with her failures only compounding it. With the encouragement and help of her aunt and uncle, she managed to complete her time at Signal, though no longer the star pupil she had once been.

With little in the way of other desires, Crimson made an early application to Shade Academy in Vacuo, where her parents and aunt had attended. To her devastation, Crimson was not accepted into the academy, and returned to Vale disappointed and heartbroken. Her uncle, usually matter of factual and businesslike, surprisingly comforted her as much of her aunt did, insisting the Academy had made a mistake by not accepting her. Having attended Beacon himself, Cordovan was certain that the beacon headmaster would see what Shade had missed. Dressing her best to try and make an impression with the help of her aunt, Crimson prepared for her interview with the eccentric Ozpin.

To her surprise and dismay, the man was well aware of her history and shortcomings, as well as her denial at Shade Academy. And yet, to her surprise and joy, the headmaster accepted her into the academy, with an extremely blunt line of questioning. After an assurance that she would find answers to her parents disappearance one day from the headmaster, a teary eyed Crimson departed for home, where she impatiently awaits the start of her training at Beacon Academy.

Profile:

IC Talk Hex Code: 726c23

Name: Gwyn Icyni
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Birthplace: Mistral
Counterpart: Boudica

Appearance:

Height: 5'11"
Weight: 157 lbs
Eye Color: Smoke Grey
Build: Gwyn has a muscular upper body, though he mostly resembles an average person.
Hair Style: Pulled back into a ponytail a bit above the base of his neck. His hair not pulled back is just above his shoulders.
Hair Color: Bronze
Skin Color: Somewhat tanned on his arms and face, though he does have quite the terrible farmer's tan and his fair everywhere else.
Distinguishing Features: He [Gwyn] has no real scarring or physical damage, he does have a small tattoo of a knotted tree upon his left shoulder.
Attire: Outside of his normal casual/school wear, which usually consists of either sweatpants or school clothing, he wears his combat armour (mostly over his casual clothes.) he created out of heavy metals in vital areas, allowing for mobility and protection, though not favouring one over the other. His armour includes a breastplate, greaves and a vambrace. He also wears a light cloak/overtunic that covers his shoulders and arms for more protection against light weather conditions.

Weapons and Abilities:

Weapon: Aeron and Anextiomarus

Aeron and Anextiomarus are the pair of shields that Gwyn uses as both defensive and offensive weaponry. He himself had help crafting these weapons from his family, his father and uncle both helping craft a weapon for him as they did his older sister who had become a Huntress earlier. The shields are inexpensive, not using dust nor ammunition of any kind, though they lack a very good ranged capability.

Aeron is the more, vicious, offensive shield shaped in the way of a Heater Shield when fully extended, Aeron has a blade connected to a chain spool within the shield, faced downward to the tip of shield. Aeron also has the ability to condense down into a more solid striking weapon, enhancing the blade with more splitting and piercing power (from being fired from the chain spool). Though like anything, it has a consequence, this being losing all of Aeron's shield-defensive capabilities.

Anextiomarus is the, stalwart, defensive shield shaped more as a Board Shield, though about as big as a Heater. Anextiomarus has layered panels, able to extend out and lock into a larger shield to cover most of Gwyn's torso and legs (Down to the knees). Though the added defense is astonishing, Gwyn loses almost all of his mobility if he extends Anextiomarus.

Equipment: Other than his shields, he does carry around his scroll on a small leather satchel adorning his belt. The shields also don't lay strewn on his arms at all times, Jean has strapping for them as a makeshift back-shield-pack. Though he does look somewhat like a metal turtle.
Abilities: Gwyn had been trained in Sanctum for a while, not too surprising as a local wannabe-huntsman of Mistral, but enrolled in Signal near the ending years of the trainee-huntsman schooling. Gwyn learned his abilities as he learned to fight with his shields. Each shield acted as a different trait, a different aspect, Aeron demanded high movement and brutality, whereas Anextiomarus is based around standing your ground, to protect yourself with all your might until an opportunity arises to be relieved.
Other Skills: Not much of a skill, but Gwyn seems to have an uncanny ability to be -the- slowest runner in the world. He tries to though, don't judge him too hard.
Aura: Forest Green
Semblance: TBD

Personality:

Gwyn is imperious, rash, quick to anger and stubborn, very, very stubborn. His view is one of his and his alone, he believes in himself and what he was taught to believe, though he is open to new ideas, he is slow to take them and would rather fight to keep his own traditions and ideals. Despite how he seems, so unmoving and self-centered, he truly does believe in protecting others when they need it, nor does he believe in throwing his opinions in others faces, he simply likes to keep his defended to himself.

His personality is almost reflected in his weapons, Aeron being rash, quick to anger and ruthless. Anextiomarus being a bit more collected and stalwart upon not moving a single inch.

History:

Gwyn had lived in Mistral for most of his life, the murky swamps and even murkier people teaching Gwyn early on in his life that many are not to be trusted, sticking to his own code, a code of family-worth and to the small community around him.

His life began simply, a small frontier settlement in the outskirts of Mistral's inhabited territory. His father was a shopkeeper, small time, his mother being a waitress at the only pub in the settlement. They lived relatively quietly, Huntsman and Huntress coming to deal with the occasional Grimm problem, but they never had too many issues. His small family, consisting of two other siblings, both sisters and a nearby millworking uncle provided ample enough family time and money to be satisfied with life, considering the lifestyle of the frontier.

His older sister, Eira was actually the one to convince Gwyn to attempt to become a Huntsman. His entire childhood, he played as a hero, never really thought of becoming one. Gwyn always thought he'd become like his father, working in his small shop and growing old on the frontier. He understood the danger of the Grimm, but nothing ever galvanized him to fight them, to actually defeat them in combat. Eira though, becoming a fully-fledged Huntress years before he had even thought of joining Sanctum. She never really lived long as a Huntress though, she died on a small expedition into Grimm-infested territory to actually begin to expand the defenses of the town to keep the townspeople safe from further attacks in the coming years.

Her death struck Gwyn as he never really thought he could be hit. Never had he once thought about the dangers of the Grimm, nor did he think of protecting his family, he always pretended to play hero with his younger sibling and was a loyal companion to his older sister, though never truly thought of becoming a hero. That thought died when he grew older, he became one of the frontier, aiding his father and learning that his community was his, those around didn't matter and Grimm certainly weren't apart of his world, surprisingly for a frontier town, the Grimm almost never attacked, he was in a "Lucky" zone, Grimm more heavily focusing more to the coastal areas. Yet with the death of Eira, he vowed to protect his town from the onslaught of the invading Grimm that would dare cross his path, the monsters he never paid attention too, the things he believed would never truly be his problem. Not the most uncommon vow, but certainly one to push one into action. Gwyn enrolled into Sanctum, creating his own weapons and armour from the various materiel given to him by the school as his family wasn't one able to pay for the more exotic materials. He didn't do this alone however, he just couldn't, he wasn't a natural born warrior like his sister who had built it with only minimal aid from his family. Gwyn had his father and uncle aid in the construction of his shields, he also struggled in Sanctum. He wasn't a warrior, he was a shopkeep that vowed to protect his town and he only made it by in Sanctum when the family moved to Vale, the frontier became rapidly more unstable as Grimm, who Gwyn once thought were nothing of importance, something the Huntsman and Huntress' could deal with and leave him to his everyday life, invaded the frontier settlements more and more frequently. Frontiers became less populated and shops needed customers.

Gwyn's father had another brother in Vale, so they scrounged up what money they had to head their, to set up shop, aiding the family better to recover from the losses in the frontier of Mistral. This led to Gwyn actually being enrolled in Signal for the last year of trainee-huntsmanship, but none-the-less, it actually saved his hide, considering he wasn't doing too well in Sanctum due to past screw-ups, he was able to semi-fresh slate it and save himself from washing out of the hunstmen.

To this day, as Gwyn readies himself for Beacon, he hasn't changed much. He believes in his family, he's here to protect them later, he almost doesn't care for others and the small line of vengeance and protection is being very blurred in his mind, yet here he is, for reasons almost nowhere near the quality of others, he has capability. If he actually stands up to that possibility of becoming a Guardian of the Kingdoms or a vengeance seeking Hunter is up to what happens in this Academy.

{Qrow Branwen}
Counterpart: Unknown, but due to his relation to Ozpin and name, it is possible his counterpart is intended to be the Scarecrow from Wizard of Oz, further supported by his brain constantly being addled by the effects of alcohol. Based on his sister, it is also possible that Qrow's counterpart is Bran the Blessed, a character from Mabinogion. The last possibility is a poem about Huginn and Muninn, two ravens from Norse mythology, which would also match the team motif, based on the known origin of Summer Rose' name, which also comes from a poem.
Semblance: Unknown, though based on scenes from the series, it is possible that his semblance is either the same as Yang's, based on his destructive attack performed directly after the only hit he received during his fight with Winter Schnee. More likely, it is implied that his semblance allows him to Shapeshift into a Crow, as implied in the after credits scene of "End of the Beginning".

Distinguishing Features: Deep burn mark in the right hand
Attire: Coming from a wealthy upbringing Midas became quite accustomed to wearing a suite around most places he went, and naturally he decided to wear one (Not pictured - are Midas' matching brown dress pants, and brown dress shoes), additionally Midas wears brown aviator gloves, under his right glove he wears bandages which cover up his burn mark, and finally Midas often wears aviator goggles while in flight to prevent pesky bugs from flying into his mouth.

Weapons and Abilities:

Weapon: Ambivalence of Light

Midas' pride and joy, the weapon he created himself as a young student are his specially crafted duel swords, they are approximately the length of naval cutlasses (Which were shorter than most standard cutlasses) the blade is composed of smaller individual blades which protrude from the blunt back of the sword, these individual blades make one continuous cutting edge all together, and point diagonally towards the handle, which is comprised of a thinner metal, and leather grip, with a much harder metal handle guard which is rather bulky and covers much of the hand, both of these swords fit into a scabbard on Midas' back, which is comprised of similar metal to the sword, the blunt edge of which acts as one exterior half of the scabbard. These scabbards when activated fold out into long wings, the blunt end forms the top of the wings, while the individual blades become slightly more jagged as they are split apart, and form the "Feathers" of the newly made wings (similarly to that pictured, the "feathers" or blades of the wings, and sword are a white metal, while the blunt ends, and the handles are made of a golden metal) These mechanical wings are quite bulky, but assist in flight, and double as dangerous weapons, as the "feathers" are incredibly smart and can be used both to shield midas, and slice up his enemies from the air.

Equipment: Midas keeps tools on a belt for maintaining his weapon, he also keeps his school sanctioned scroll on his person, as well as lightning, and gravity dust on his utility belt.
Abilities: Midas was trained in a small academy in Vacuo, and developed his abilities closely with his weapons which have become effectively part of his body, while using his semblance Midas is prone to being highly aggressive and incredibly agile, bouncing from opponent to opponent while in flight, using both his wings, and his extremities to fight off enemies, without his semblance he is much more evasive of his targets, and will prefer to dodge attacks until his enemy is exhausted. While on foot he is quite accustomed to sword based combat, and will usually try to confuse his opponent, as he is often no match for a one on one fight, he relies heavily on his ability to fight intuitively; using his environment to his advantage in an attempt to get any form of edge he can over his opponent.
Other Skills: Midas is incredibly well equipped to repair, and create machinery, and is additionally good at accounting - a skill he picked up from his father.
Aura: Gold
Semblance: "The Golden Touch" - Midas has the ability to absorb energy from dust when he comes into contact with it, to be used in fueling his own raw energy, and his aura. Without this ability Midas is often left useless on the battlefield.

Personality:

While Midas may come from an expensive upbringing he has little taste for formality, patience, or even manners, and the only true attribute he picked up from his well off family was his lust for fortune, and his insatiable appetite for shiny things, his first sense of morality, and his seperation of right and wrong came from his father, and since then he has developed his own form of... justice. Beyond this Midas has a very split personality, while not using his semblance he has an incredible wit, and is tactically brilliant on the battlefield, and would pride himself on his intelligence if it wasn't for his extreme cowardice, and his common underestimation of his own abilities, however while using his semblance a lot of this intelligence, and tactical brilliance can be thrown out the window for extreme confidence, bravery, and brute force combat style, inclining Midas towards a chop first ask questions later mentality, though he does all of this with intense agility, and dexterity on land, and in the air.

History:

Midas came from a town right on the outskirts of shade academy, his father was a very successful banker, and his mother a very talented seamstress. Family life was typically strange as for much of his young life neither of his parents were ever home, going off in their busy lives, the child was left to tinker a lone at home with anything he could get his hands on, he even managed to build a glider one day out of scrap pieces of cloth from his mothers designs, and metal coat hangers. Family life only became more strained after an incident in the hot summer sands of Vacuo, his mother had become lost out in the sands after becoming lost in one of the neighboring cities, she was chased only further into the desert after a run in with a rather large grimm scorpion, and was lost for nearly 3 days, when a rescue team finally found her she was entirely delirious, and doctors figured it was from heat stroke and dehydration, but the symptoms of delirium never quite disappeared, causing the women to mumble perpetually to herself, making rapid head motions seeming to look for her way out of the desert she had departed from long ago.

The family moved into one of the larger cities in Vacuo, where business surged even further for his father, and where his mother could be further from the haunting desert (Though her delusions never quite faded), Midas was excited for the opportunity, and was able to begin studying at a prestigious academy, but in his youth he was quickly turned to a different pursuit, beyond the typical knowledge of his peers, he sought adventure, and heroism, he saw a land torn apart, a kingdom in ruins brought to its knees by the creatures of grimm, he was raised outright with a sense of justice, and felt personally devoted against such creatures, this attitude empowered him to convince his father to allow him on to the path of a huntsmen.

While he was often second-rate in combat, his abilities as a tactician, a mechanic, and a mathematician shines through, and kept him afloat with his more combat-oriented peers. It was not long into his studies that he became interested in developing his very own weapon, as he knew it would be a necessity for any huntsmen, his father as supportive as ever helped him pay for the parts, and managed to scrap together the shiniest of metals, and the sharpest of blades, his initial design came from one of his early glider contraptions, and combined the fire power of mortars with the fury of the skies. The design however was an utter failure, and was far too heavy, he toiled constantly on designs, even tinkering with a jet propulsion system in the wings powered by dust, however while building this, his design discharged dust unexpectedly, and severely burnt his right hand while tinkering. He showed his parents, and his father was terribly concerned, his mother for the first time in years was left speechless, and seemed to actually look in one direction for a longer period of time, while her eyes starred off towards his hand, she met his grip, and felt the burn, shortly there after she burst into tears, and was thrown into a panic, both were sent immediately to be hospitalized, Midas was sent to have his hand taken care of, and his mother was sent to a mental institution for further examinations.

It took months to refine his design from here, and he finally settled on a design shortly after discovering his semblance for the first time while in class, he was able to control the mechanical wings he created, through his own raw energy and aura, this increased his combat readiness ten fold, and got him noticed by proctors from shade academy though time in his small desert home had made Midas weary, memories of his mother only made him depressed, and he felt a greater calling elsewhere, he was later allowed into Beacon academy, he waits excitedly now, for a new home, in a new environment.

{Raven Branwen}
Counterpart: Unknown, but there are several possibilities based on the origin of the characters last name, her teamates potential counterparts, and their relationship to Ozpin. The first possibility is that her counterpart takes the form of one of the witches from the Wizard of Oz. The second, is the origin of her last name, Branwen, which comes from the story Mabinogion. Branwen brings ruin to in an attempt to bring peace, which would be further supported by the theory that it was from her that Adam Taurus recieved his training. The final possibility is a poem about Huginn and Muninn, two ravens from Norse mythology, which would also match a team motif if the only counterpart of Summer Rose is the origin of her name, a poem.
Semblance: Unknown, but it possibly relates to the scene in which she is seen to create a sort of portal in order to leave a train set on a crash course.

{Cinder Fall}
Counterpart: Cinderella
Semblance: Cinder's semblance seems to be extensive manipulation of fire, including forming glass shards out of ash, incinerating objects at a touch, and creating fiery explosions where her arrows land. Furthermore, Cinder has gained the power of the fall maiden, and all the abilities that come with it.
Weapon: Cinder's Weapon seems to be some type of manipulate-able dust-based bow/scimitar, that seems to be made of volcanic glass. Based on unconvential weapons used by other characters in the series, it is also possible that this weapon is only an extension of her true weapon, which may actually be her dust imbued clothing, which she is able to manipulate into different forms at will, and which glows whenever she is using one of her abilities.
Additional Info: Cinder's Wiki Page
Death: It is unclear whether Cinder Fall survived the events at the Battle of Beacon, but it is unlikely like she was frozen along with the Dragon, due to there being no mention of her after Ruby uses the ability associated with her silver eyes. While it is also unlikely the ability killed her, it could have gravely wounded her, and for the moment she should be treated as missing, similarly to Ozpin, until volume 4 of the web series is released.

{Neopolitan}
Counterpart: It is unclear what exactly her counterpart is, though it has been confirmed that it is not the Cheshire Cat. Other possibilities include Mary Poppins, based on her weapon of choice, or a simpler counterpart of Neapolitan Ice Cream, based on her appearance.
