Stalker Schwarzjager

"Aim small... hit small... and go for the one-shot kill..." -Stalker

Appearance
Stalker is a thin young man that is adequately buff and built but mostly for speed and fast attacks then for being a tank and taking hits. His red hair is the color of blood and is kept short to keep the sweat and bangs out of his eyes during combat. His eyes are a green, like a dark evergreen, and he is pale in complexion. Upon his face, he wears a Grimm mask he created from bone that makes him look like a dragon of sorts.

Stalker wears an odd assortment of armor. He wears for and foremost a black, body-glove style suit that acts as a second skin and is what his armor is attached to often. Over that, he wears a chain-mail coat that protects him where his armor is not covering. His armor pieces are a chestplate with a white dragon painted on it, shoulder pads with the symbol of Beacon Academy on one, arm braces on both arms, gloves that have thin armor plates over them and claws on the fingers to enhance his climbing abilities, thigh and shin guards, and then he wears solid steel boots equipped with climbing claws to better help him climb trees and a few other surfaces. A large hood and cloak of dark grey color covers his entire body and goes over his helmet. He is also seen having a rucksack on his back that holds various items, like twine, string, rope, blades, and other necessities needed in long travels across lands.

Upon Stalkers head is a helmet that covers his entire head and face. Four, large goggle protrusions are centered over where his eyes would be and he can easily flick through on the side of it the vision modes of Night Vision, Heat Vision, and normal vision via a set of three buttons. Although the helmet it big, the Grimm mask he wears underneath is often making the helmet seem tight.

Almost all his armor is either obsidian black or a dark grey.

Personality
Stalker is a very calm, quiet young man, rarely speaking even when spoken to and avoiding social gatherings and large groups unless told otherwise. But when he does speak, his voice is often times kind and considering of others feelings unless they somehow have picked on him or his team, making his tone harden into a steely tone and a very rough conversationalist. He rarely flirts but when he does, it is often uncoordinated and results in his embarrassment.

His few friends have often times considered him to be more of a lone wolf than a boy to get along with his friends. He does talk with his friends but it is often rare as he often gives excuses or busies himself with work more than socialize with him. The only exception is when he is on the battlefield or on a mission. Once Stalker is out in the field for a mission or for a tournament, his friends describe him as a very hard fighting man that is both aggressive and strategic. He goes out and immediately recons the enemy in their strength and numbers and then, if he thinks he can do enough damage, he will launch hit-and-run attacks, ambushes, and even firefights against the enemy. Even when he is with his allies, he often times is very strategically aggressive, pushing hard when a flank is exposed and slamming his attacks into any exposed weakness the enemy has.

However, although very calm and quiet, he does have some issues being bullied or even seeing others bullied. If he's bullied, he ignores them for a time and then final will lash out if they continue and if its against someone else, even if he doesn't know the student being bullied, he will get up and fight the bullies just because he is very irritated by anyone who picks on others. He is also very annoyed in noisy environments and prefers to stay in secluded, calm places until the very last minute.

Backstory and Life
Stalker was born on the 7th of July in a large, walled off village that belonged to a well renown clan of the Outlander faction. The Outlanders, in truth, are a set of many clans of many origins that have come together across the world of Remnant to survive and fight the Grimm. However, the Outlanders hate the Cities and prefer to never be seen anywhere near them due to the belief that anyone from the cities are sly, cheaters and people that backstab their friends and more. This being said, this also means they rely on themselves to harvest food, create weapons, and even create their own governmental system based on Chieftains.

Stalker was born into the house of a Outlander Great Chieftain and lived a life filled with hardship as he learned being a warrior and a leader. His first few years of him growing up were him learning how to write, read, and slowly strengthen his body. At around the age of 6, he was given a wooden sword, leather armor, and was taught how to fight with a weapon by his father while also learning how to shoot a gun at 7. At age 10, he was walking from a hunting trip when a Raider once attacked him and he fended poorly for himself until the man fell over and he killed him out of sheer defense just as his father and the others from their hunting party arrived. At age 13, he was sent out on a recon mission when he first encountered the Grimm. He face only three Beowolves but after a half-an hour of dodging and slowly whittling down the creatures, he killed the last one with a scythe he had found in a farmers field and forever remembered that there were many terrible things out in the world he lived in. He later kept the scythe as his main weapon of choice besides an Anti-tank rifle. Around the age of 14, he became a skilled driver for buggies and even the rusted hulks that were the Outlanders mechs. Finally, at age 16, he lead his first real assault against a Raider encampment with over 50 other young men in a sudden attack that killed off all the Raiders and coming back victorious.

It was also on that day tragedy struck. Just as his father was announcing to the village that Stalker would be not only the next Outpost Chieftain but also be the next Great Chieftain of the all of the Outlanders, the Grimm struck hard suddenly and without warning. The village was entirely killed off and as Stalker watched his parents die, he took the scythe he had and his AT-rifle that he used and he struck hard against the Grimm and fought valiantly to wipe them out. He did but regardless of how good he did, he still lost everything and the outpost was later abandoned by him. He later vowed to find a way to make sure no other outpost had the same fate as his own.

After a month of walking to a nearby Outpost, he came to a friendly Outpost as he then brought news of his Outposts tragedy and then, to his surprise, the Chieftain there announced that he was to still be crowned the next Great Chieftain of the Outlanders.

At least three months later, Stalker suddenly ran into a Hunter and learned about the combat schools and Beacon Academy in Vale and the opportunities being a Hunter could get. At first, Hunter didn't want nothing of the cities but then he realized that as a Hunter he could finally save his people from ever meeting the same fate as his family. And so, he asked to see if the Hunter could sneak him into the combat Academy at a chance of becoming a Hunter from Beacon. The Hunter managed to gauge his abilities from a few sparring's and then managed to sneak him into one of the Combat Schools in Vale. As soon as he graduated, he was given a chance in Beacon and he took it but only because he wanted to go back to the Outlands one day and help train them to better fight the Grimm.

Backstory Relationships:

The Outlanders

The Outlanders are his people and are based up around a few large, walled villages called Outposts. Each one is governed by a single Chieftain in charge of everything while a single Great Chieftain is in charge of everyone and his Outpost. The Outlanders are Hunter gatherers mainly, taking everything off from the land and their surroundings and the best places to find some of the Outposts are near mountain ranges and large forests. Although there are a few small Outposts, they all are walled and are in a general region around the much larger Outposts.

There are a few main clans that are the Outlanders:

Dragon Clan (Deceased except for Stalker), Bear Clan, Wolf Clan, Eagle Clan, Jager Clan, Mech Clan, Stag Clan (Unknown), Raven Clan (Deceased), Puma Clan (Deceased)

Raiders

Raiders are the criminal scum of the Outlanders and are generally the bandits and pirates as well. They travel in bands, never mean what they say when it comes to promises, and always backstab whoever they are with. Outlanders general detest Raiders and will kill them on sight. Although Raiders don't have any allegiance to one another, there are some who form Raider clans and will even make attempt to raid the Schnee Dust Companies mines in anyplace they can, most of the time failing and not really being worth nothing to the company.

Weapon and Dust Use
Panzer Hunter is an Anti-tank Rifle Double-Blade scythe (ATRDBS) that is Stalkers sole weapon he relies on. Although many large rifles can be fired in their other form, like Rubys Crescent Rose for an example, Stalker's rifle can only be fired in rifle mode due to its large caliber and long barrel and thus makes him rely on using distance to his advantage. The caliber of the solid rounds is at least 20mm, which is much larger than most high-caliber sniper rifles and can do considerable damage against most vehicles. However, the large caliber also does high damage to human bodies but the kick of the rifle means he has to be either on his stomach in prone or brace himself in a crouched position. He has a optional kickstand for his rifle but he often time rarely uses it. His Double-bladed scythe is his other form and although it is balanced, due to it being Double-bladed, it takes great skill to use it but he has become proficient enough to hold his own in combat.

There is one move that he can do at the expense of him being almost completely exhausted and that is called "Panzer Break", where he launches himself at his target, often times a mech or a armored vehicle, and throws every bit of strength behind his strike with his scythe that allows him to cut through the vehicle with one blow. However, he rarely uses it and only in the most desperate situations and when he has, his friends have to cover for his lack of energy as it also slightly drains his aura.

Although Stalker is not a Dust user, he does occasionally use Dust to either start fires or to create signals but never as a combat tool. He, as well as many Outlanders, have used Dust as a practical tool but never really got into using them as weapons.

As an additional note, Stalker was taught Unarmed Combat and Hand-to-hand and can, in a pinch, fight on without his weapons but the fisticuffs is more of an effort to stall the enemy enough to see if he can dash to his weapon that may be nearby.

Aura and Semblance

His Aura is often times seen as a obsidian black around him but it is not exactly a very strong Aura. It can stand some blows but it drains quickly, which forces Stalker to hit hard from the shadows or risk being pummeled to death by his foes.

Semblance- "Active Camouflage"

Stalkers semblance, he calls Active Camouflage, allows him to turn almost invisible in his surroundings but in reality his aura is actually just cloaking him. When he moves, the aura makes his camo shimmer, much like the Active Camouflage from Halo, and when he goes to defend himself the Semblance completely cuts out. However, even when he remains still and doesn't move, he has at most maybe 15 minutes of camouflage and the Semblance does not hide his sounds, like his breathing or his movement that will rattle his armor slightly.

Explanation All in all, he is more of a Long-range sniper that can quickly convert to a close-quarter DPS guy if you were to place him into an MMORPG. He is fast and he uses his speed to out-maneuver his enemies while his armor can hold off a decent amount of blows. When he see's a weakness he can hit, he throws himself at it with everything he has in an effort to do as much damage as he can before having to evade and try again in a different spot. His weapon is large in either form and can be used as a makeshift club when in rifle form while the scythe gives him a long reach. His movement is rarely affected by much and even when he running and jumping from the tree's he climbs, his movement is exceptional until some shoots him out of it.

Notes, Additional Thoughts, and After Thoughts
1.While Stalker here seems pretty original, this is a heavily revised form of his. Originally, from one of my fanfics I have made, he is actually Half-Grimm due to an experiment by Ironwood in an effort to control Grimm through a Semblance, which is where the mask comes from. However, due to there being no official Half-Grimm anything, I left that out.

2. Although an Anti-tank rifle is a large caliber rifle, the first rifle I gave him actual was only 15mm, the round size of a Panzerbusche 39, and he later upgraded from there to a 25mm. In short, the 200mm is the size of a small cannon.

3. Schwarzjager is German for Black Hunter but his official color is a more obsidian color than a black.

4. Stalker and the Outlanders were based upon the people from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Road to Chernobyl and Metro 2033 and although the mechs aren't really apart of either, I added them in to at least make them a little cooler.

5. The mechs are actually no more than random cockpits from vehicles of various origins strapped onto some legs of all sorts of styles and then have weapons ranging from dumb-fire missiles to cannons strapped to the cockpits. All of this being mostly scrap metal, rusted metal, and anything from a junkyard or battlefield.

6. This is probably the worst thing you all may have seen but hey, I gave it a shot.
