UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Jack Carson, AKA "Austin" is a professional criminal for hire that operates within the world of Remnant.

Appearance
Austin typically wears attire fitting to his role within a job, though on most occasions he will wear tan colored heavy combat armor and mask.

Background
From an early age, Jack was a bright student raised in the criminal underworld of Atlas. Starting off from simple pickpocketing, he soon discovered a natural talent for forgery and impersonation. Using these talents to pull low level crimes, Carson attracted the attention of a mid-time hustler, who then took him under his wing to teach jack the finer points of his talents. After several years he was pulling favors for various criminal groups, increasing his reputation. At the age of 18, he made the jump from forgery to bank robbery, his first job with a small time crew against a small branch bank on the border of Atlas.

After the job was revealed to be a sting, Jack escaped and fled to Vale to start again. Using some connections and favors, he managed to get back on his feet and continue his criminal endeavors. A the age of 27 he reluctantly decided to have another attempt at robbery, this time being invited to a more reputable crew. Using his skills in impersonation and forgery, he was able to infiltrate the bank's security and earned a commendation from the crew. Sticking around with them, they slowly pulled off more jobs, and Carson eventually created his new tool for crime; his weapon Buzzkill.

Currently in a mix between medium bank robberies and minor political sabotage, Jack who has now called himself "Austin", continues a medium level crime spree across with a major score at the end of the road: the Vale National Bank.

Personality
After the sting operation in Atlas, Austin has become much more cautious about the jobs he takes on, taking time to investigate and weigh up potential profit. He is generally straightforward and unforgiving, as a simple mistake could cost him some cut of a job, or his life. After completing a job and making sure all possible traces are removed, he becomes relaxed and will even engage in small talk with fellow criminals.

Buzzkill
Buzzkill is Austin's weapon/tool of choice. It is a mix of a circular saw and a Light Machine Gun, and can be swapped between the two. The saw is hidden inside of the weapon butt, and when holding the front end of the gun can be unfolded to reveal the motorized blade. When the weapon is in saw mode, the barrel muzzle will fold and the trigger will lock, to avoid friendly fire. Buzzkill is a useful multi-purpose weapon that can be used for combat, sheer intimidation and opening various things with the saw.

Trivia
- Austin is a reference to both the city, where Roosterteeth, the creators of RWBY reside and the criminal mastermind Dallas, heister from video game Payday 2.

- Buzzkill is also a reference to payday 2, the creating studio of the game is called OVERKILL software, and the weapon is a mix of that and a buzzsaw.
