Robii Mauve

"There is always a way out, trust me and keep your head down."

Robii Mauve is a 21 year old Guardian, currently posted at Beacon Academy. He is well skilled in the arts of urban combat and one-on-one.

His knowledge, and connections, of the criminal underworld also make him a useful tap into the criminal network and track down wanted suspects.

History
Much acclaim of his origins to be alien as he appears to have no biological parent or relatives, some speculating that he has came from off-world.

Mauve dosen't take a word about his past but is more interested in his nomadic behaviour by travelling between towns in his personal muscle car, or Purple Ribbon as he calls it.

He often visits clubs and inns to perform songs for the local people, entitling him as The Wanderer for his jazzy, abeit rock, tone to his lyrics.

When his career was not enough to keep his whole life on the road, he eventually turned to a life of crime due to the lack of legal jobs, that was being offered by the big companies, such as the Schnees.

He eventually found his way, through a agenda of contacts, to Roman Torchwick himself and became his right hand man. His exploits in the media and the computers, used by most law enforcement agencies allowed the season crook to get away with virtually every Dust robbery.

It was when Robii was led to a factory where he would be caught in a booby-trap. The whole building was destroyed and left Mauve trapped in the wreckage. By freeing his left arm, he was able to escape the destruction.

He began a series of investigations and was led to believe that his former boss was responsible for the bomb plot.

To help him track down Roman, he consulted Ozpin, the head of Beacon, to become a guardian to protect the students, and the school's interest, from potential attackers, Grimm or Human and Faunus. If this would help find the man responsible for the near death experience he had went through that costed him his arm.

Appearence
Standing at 4ft 11, he may be a short one but his skills are not to be underestimated.

Clad in purple and mauve, a zipped up vest, with white shirt beneath, Purple cargo trousers, with purple and gold shin guards and a pair of eyesight-improving goggles to improve his short-sightedness, Mauve insists on going fast and light, closing the distance without having to lug heavy equipment.

Due to his skills in the engineering trade, Robii had built an exchangable modular arm for his cybernetic hand and his venerable close range weapon; Killer Eggplant.

Killer Eggplant
A modular plasma cannon that is fitted, and linked to his Aura, to his modular hard point, embedded into his lost hand. The plasma cannon can either be fired in rapid fire bursts or charged to unleash a single blast that often puts the enemy off balance, allowing Mauve to unleash further attacks.

This weapon is also fitted with an energy bayonet, based on the Sabre; giving him a penetrating offense including thrusts, fencing and other directional strikes, not used by most other swordsmen/women. This, combined with his rapid fire plasma cannon, can be an effective tool when engaging the enemy at close range.

Semblence
His arts in close range makes him a deadly fighter and has caused his Aura to awaken a power which boosts this melee capability. When he locks onto the enemy's Aura, if they have one, he can virtually dodge every attack and quickly inflict rapid melee strikes whenever he has an opening in the enemy's defense. It is relatively impossible to escape his semblence but third party strikes can throw Mauve off balance, and target, making him open to counter attack.

Experience has told Mauve to pick his targets wisely and avoid fighting more than one person, without allies.

Other Weaknesses
His sole focus on melee, and short ranged fighting makes him vulnerable to snipers, artillery and other long ranged combatants that can keep out of his range. He will try and adopt tactics to lure faster foes closer but he will also attempt to stay in wooded or inside urban areas to force his enemies up close.
