Indeever Enata

Name: Indeever Enata

Origin & Influences: Indeever means “blue lotus” in Hindi. Blue is a very important part of Indian mythology, its calm and peaceful and represents karmic infinity, also protection. Enata, rather than having a meaning, is a derivation to the Hindu “deity” Ananta, an infinite divine serpent whom floats among the waters of creation, representing the eternal materiality and primal energy. This helps relate towards his intellect and cunning, being that which brings life towards ideas and thought. His personality is majorly related to the internal nature of the Cobra itself.

Age: 18

Species: Indeever is a Spectacled Indian Cobra. Indeever has a tail with striped/checkered patterns along it, slitted snake eyes and fangs. Through his cobra heritage, his true potential comes in the form of flexibility and speed, able to bend his body beyond regular capabilities and having snake like reflexes. However his pliant body lacks the physical strength of others his size as well as leaving him more open to injury. He also has the ability to sense vibrations around him towards a certain degree.

Appearance: Indeever is an 18 year old Mistralian boy with blue, slightly uncombed hair, golden yellow slit eyes, and fangs. He also possesses a beige snake tail with checkered-striped patterns. He often wears black baggy pants, a forest green vest, and a white beige Sherwani (Indian traditional coat/jacket) with blue patterns on it. He also wears a silver watch, and teal and white boots. His height is 5'11" Picture Created by Oshagirl

Personality: Calm, cold and collected, Indeever is as cold blooded as his cobra heritage. He uses his intelligence and knack with technology and machines to selfishly meet his own needs regardless of those that stand in his way. His egotistical interest originated from the loss of his family when young. They died because of their selflessness and he wasn't going to end up a chump being held back by others who couldn't help themselves.

Indeever is very open about himself, absolutely unapologetic about his behaviour and almost never censors his thoughts to save the feelings of others. The only time he ever stops himself from speaking his mind is when around others who he considers are friends, people he cares for. He sometimes even takes pleasure in the cruel, honest truths, because the world his hard, and vicious and if it doesn't care then why should he. For this reason he avoids others, thinking the whole Academy is a fallacy and wrapped up in a woolly, pink delusion that people are only out for themselves, that Ambrose will use and abuse their talents and still treat them as outcasts. Arcadia will fail eventually, so he may as well wring out every resource he can. Despite this, for the little friends that he does have, he does become protective of them in a territorial kind of way, and even to the point of actually showing feelings towards them.

This selfishness also carries over into the battlefield, always looking after himself, standing his ground and not giving up just like his cobra heritage. Being less physically inclined than many of his fellow Arcadians, he prefers to fight smart than fight hard. He has a contingency plan for every occasion but is also good at adapting on the fly. Unfortunately his egotistical behaviour means others are unlikely to co-operate because he's just as likely to use them as cannon fodder to meet the goals. He's also prone to cruelty, changing a plan to see an enemy suffer.

Indeever's ego comes from his intelligence and lashes out the most when bored, which he often is in Arcadia with its lack of internet access and technological inferiority. He spends a lot of his time delving into computer programs, and enjoys spending his weekends in Ambrose hacking and identity stealing from the citizens just because he can, and sometimes stumbles unlikely secrets. He even goes to the point of stealing parts in order to fulfill his need for technology, whether it be from Arcadia or from Magna Opus. However, the main reason he craves this technology is also in part as a way to help others as well as himself, showing that deep down his gifts can be used for the greater good of others.

Despite being extremely intelligent in the fields of technology, machinery, mathematics, physics, and even chemistry to a certain degree, Indeever does lack a lot in regards to street smarts. For one, he does not manage to speak well with others, and always forgets common courtesy whenever he does speak to a person. He also tends to be rude and impulsive, always speaking his mind before he thinks of possible consequences. Also, despite being a decently good thief, Indeever lacks the skills to get through pretty much anywhere without the aid of technology, unless he happens to know that area particularly well. This leads him to get lost a majority of the time whenever he is alone without a partner.

Relationships: Developing.

Backstory: A child born into a bordering tribe of the kingdom of Mystral under two Huntsman parents, Indeever Enata was a child with much talent. Being the child of cobra heritage, he was given the name Enata as his last name by the chiefs of the tribe. At a young age he began showing potential, constantly pulling things apart and putting them back together but despite the admiration of his teachers his parents were constantly called upon to defend their tribe. As such, he never really had all that much time to bond with them.

Later, the tribe was met with an unknown presence two years later, when a social aid group part of Mystral made first contact with the tribe. Being a tribe with limited contact to the outside world, this group united the tribe with the rest of the kingdom, and helped aid the tribe into the progress into modern society. The tribe then went on to build a small town for themselves, which they named Vaikunta.

This event became one that would drastically influence the direction of Indeever’s life, where he encountered one of the social aid members named Argyris, who first made contact with the boy. He taught Indeever the amazing wonders that technology could provide the world, to which he took an immediate interest to, asking if Argyris could teach him more about technology. He agreed, leaving behind a few machines and books on the subject for Indeever to play around with until he gets back. Argyris came back about a year later, coming in and out to mentor Indeever in the arts of engineering and technology

Nearing the days before his 11th birthday, his parents were called on a scouting mission. They promised they'd bring him back something nice. The day after his birthday the scouting party returned with only his parents weapons. With no other family, he was given over to the town orphanage which while not treated badly was poor and crowded. Even after his parents died, Argyris was found to never return, turning him even more bitter than before, after being attached to him for many years. All these events ended up teaching him that anything he wanted, he had to take because no one would give you anything and you had to fight for it. Selfishness was just a way to survive. He often used his weapons to climb to the top of the pack using sly tactics and underhanded means. He was frequently caught stealing bits and pieces of technology from passing tourists, as well as sneaking several parts from transports.

When was finally of age he left his town and his tribe to see the world, only to once find how poorly faunus were treated and just how stupid they really were. After coming to the seaport of stagnant Ambrose it only confirmed his thoughts of how idiotic humanity was. But he didn't have any money left. He figured he'd stay a little while, scam enough for his ticket and continue on his way until someone offered an intriguing opportunity.

Hunting Weapon:

Indeever’s own created weapons are two modern tech Sai named Anan and Tata (together meaning Infinity). He created them when he was very young, at about the age of 10. This weapon has a total of 2 modes: Sai and Handgun mode. For the Sai mode, it's used like its regular counterpart, except it is much more sharper, is able to pierce through objects like wood and even solid brick. Also, this weapon was infused by Indeever with yellow dust in order to manipulate lightning from within it, allowing for stun and releasing it as a lightning strike. The second mode of this weapon is handgun mode, where two stocks come out from within the sai handles, and are capable of shooting energy bullets from within them. These bullets are powered by yellow dust crystal protected deep inside the Sai.

Semblance: Indeever’s semblance is, called simply, Reflex. His reflexes, when using the semblance, are beyond those of any other person, allowing him to even dodge bullets, and gives him temporary omniscience within a five feet radius around him when using this power to his fullest. He can react the second he hears a sound, or sees someone act. However, of course this ability can’t be used continuously within a short period of time. Reflex, being one of the less impacting of the Semblances, does not drain as much aura as others would. This Semblance is an activated ability, meaning he can choose when to have it activated. For example, him using this ability to its fullest would last him about 30 minutes before it times out and requires him to wait until using it again. He can get around this by switching it on and off, to be used only in the times of necessity, but would still drain some aura should he use this strategy consistently, but enlarges the time frame he can use it for.

Fighting style: Indeever’s fighting style involves his use of the mind, with large arrays of contingency plans, strategies, and exploitation of opponent’s weaknesses at his disposal. For the latter, he often toys with his opponent’s long enough in order to find them, and use them to his advantage. He uses his weapons for blocks and quick stabs at his opponent’s, using fluid and swift motions of the body in order to do so. He also uses the yellow dust infused in his sai in order to shock opponent’s through their own weapons/body when in a lock, or to release it as a long range lightning strike. He also tends to prefer the long distance fighting at any point he is capable of doing so, able to use the second mode of his sai to shoot energy bullets from a distance.
