Irwynn Nile

"Every ocurrence marks an episode, and every couple weeks create a volume. So let's make our adventures the best they can be!"-Irwynn NileIrwynn Nile is the son of Jasmine and Rubro Nile, trained huntsmen and co-stars of the TV series/documentary Grimm Encounters. Raised on the spotlight and taught about not just Remnant's vast fauna, but about humanity's greatest foe, Irwynn's talent and constant praise led him to become a cocky yet skilled fighter with vast knowledge of creatures of Grimm.

Eager to leave the desert where the fights and events are filmed and enjoy a more moderate climate, Irwynn attends Haven Academy as a member of Team OLIV alongside Chief, Bird Boy and Warrior Princess.

Appearance
Irwynn is a tanned young man who's ready for the wilderness. Clad in a long sleeved crocodile green vest, with long light brown pants and a white knee-plate. Irwynn clads himself with replicas of grimm teeth, which can be found addorning his hat, cuffs, necklace and boots. He wears a dark brown strap over his left shoulder which has a gravity dust lock in order for Irwynn to safely sling Backbite. His emblem can be found on the buckles of his belt.

Personality
Irwynn is a cocky and positive individual with a knack for getting himself in and out of sticky situations. Being highly knowledgeable about Vacuo's wildlife and how to survive there, he's learning as much as he can about Mistral's own natural world since he first decided to study at Haven.

Growing up in luxury and thrills, he sees battles as little more than entertrainement. Finding real joy in being admired by others, and receiving praise. He's quite proud of his position in Team OLIV, and tends to reffer to his teammates by nicknames. Much to their mutual amusement and annoyance, specially Venus, who calls him Sand Kid. Which only bolsters him further.

Yet, he himself knows that he's probably the weakest member of the team, and constantly strives to keep himself on the same level as the others. Living life as one big show, he has a comedy relief "complex" and jokes that Oda is the "Cliche Overpowered Edgelord of a Protagonist" of the season, only to laugh when Liver agrees by stating how Oda sharpens his sword every morning.

Due to his perspective of the world as a show, Irwynn sees grimm as "the big baddies" and due to his time helping and witnessing his parents' fend off bandit attacks, he sees faunus in general as thieves and untrustworthy, side characters to be left aside.

Weapon: Backbite
Irwynn's weapon is Backbite, a massive green boomerang with brown grips. The gravity dust installed within it allows it to fly back to his hand afrer every throw. When split in half, grips emerge near the split section, transforming Backbite into massive tonfas. Backbite has a large blunt front which is used to slam down foes, yet it's tips as sharp and thin enough to pierce rock and grimm flesh.

Semblance: Lurk
Irwynn's semblance allows him to change the color of auras and make them reveal themselves. Simply activating it will shroud himself and/or his target to match the terrain around them, making them as invisible as cartoony cameleons. However, Irwynn can also change these colors on a whim, turning people into giant purple flashlights for the joke of it or to cause confusion.

Fighting Style:
Irwynn is a showoff who mastered the art of talking bull while also focusing on the battle at hand. Using his boomerang to deal the first blow and disorient the enemy, he's more confortable on melee and using the advantage of surprise, striking hard and vanishing before the next strike. If the opportunity presents itself, he'll happily set up traps and use the enviroment against the enemy.

Backstory
Irwynn's parents raised him in Vacuo, where they film their tv show: Grimm Encounters. Trained yet naive huntsmen, the two recorded their battles against grimm and showed the monsters in their habitat, teaching people how to exploit their weaknesses and prepare to avoid or face them.

So Irwynn grew up watching his parents beat up grimm and traveling through the deserts around Vacuo with his family and their crew. Learning to fight facing smaller grimm and trained by his parents, Irwynn loved the attention he got from sharing stories and showing off.

Yet, when his stunts heavily injured one of the cameramen during a grimm attack to their camp, Irwynn's parents were outraged at the boy's lack of concern for the man, only bragging about how he saved the man in the end. So, they sent him to Haven Academy, in the hopes he'd learn the ideals of being a huntsmen. For Irwynn, it feels like one nice ride into his own fame.

Trivia

 * While Irwynn's allusion is the egyptian god Sobek, whom his last name and egyptian tatoo reference, he's named after Steve Irwynn, Crocodile Hunter
 * His color, as referenced by his last name and namesake, is crocodile green.
 * Irwynn was originally going to have a stronger egyptian vibe, but the Steve Irwynn inspiration that came from the internet's backlash against PETA's hateful tweet insulting the man ended up inspiring a "crocodile hunter" and Australian wilderness vibe to Irwynn's design.
 * He was the second member of Team OLIV to be drawn out, first being Oda Ketsuryu
