Darian Rouge

Darian Vuarison is a young human Huntsman of 14 years of age, hazel eyes (that change red when activating semblance), bed-head style brown hair with a noticeable long curl that sticks out from the side of his head. He wears glasses that he sometimes puts over his forehead as if they were sunglasses. Unlike other Huntsmen attending Beacon Academy, Darian has a rather thin build, but well-toned in the stomach, back, and calf areas. He has an olive skin tone and has a symbol/tattoo of what appears to be a crimson lizard on his neck. His height is 5’06’’.

Darian seems like a kind-hearted and energetic young man, and always willing to help another if he doesn’t have too much time on his hands. He is completely honest most of the time, but if he feels the truth will hurt others, Darian has no problem hiding it. He enjoys pulling pranks on others, and enjoys seeing the reactions of the aftermath. Though he isn’t physically active most of the time, as he usually spends his time drawing, painting, listening to music, or playing video games, he does demonstrate surprising agility and equilibrium for a young man like him, he shown this when he was caught by surprise by an attacking Grimm, and as a response, he 360-backflipped onto a lamp-post and then leaping onto a rooftop to avoid it. He however, does show an interest in weapons and artillery. His dominant hand is his right.

Darian’s therapist, however, states he has “bad memories”, and can react severely if pushed with this. This wasn’t actually taken seriously until his pencil used for drawing was revealed to also a type of ballistic knife, which he used to actually shoot Neopolitan in the collarbone before her eye colors could switch to trigger defense mode (so she could see the attack and anticipate on how to avoid it), catching her by surprise and actually injuring her, however RWBY, JPNR, and the rest of DRGN (Darian’s team) appeared, driving Neo away and preventing a full-scale fight. It wasn’t known what Neo did to Darian that made him react this way, but Darian is very sensitive to bringing whatever this was back up. He is usually calm in the course of combat though, but when pushed to his limit, he can go absolutely berserk and ravage his opponent around, like when his group was attacked by a Griffon and as a result used his ballistic knives to pin the creature to a wall while tearing it apart limb by limb, and frightened off the other Grimm by severing the Griffon’s head and screaming out his feral rage. Even his teammate Richard confesses, “I really like him, but he is definitely one of the most dangerous huntsman in Vale.” When he fights, he tends to spit out jokes and one-liners at his opponents, much like RWBY’s Yang.

As told earlier, Darian has a tattoo on his neck of a crimson lizard, and that is his semblance sign. His main semblance called “Chameleon Skin”, which enables him to seemingly become invisible, but the truth is, Darian actually possesses an advanced form of optical camouflage that looks like he is fading in and out of existence, completely blending into his surroundings. He sometimes uses this semblance to pull pranks and jump-scare his friends. A weakness in this ability is when introduced suddenly and unexpectedly into an environment with a new light level, it ruins his element of stealth and he is completely visible until he changes and adapts to his surroundings. He also still casts shadows, and although Darian himself is almost invisible, his blades still glow red.

His signature weapons are called “Tooth” and “Nail”, two ballistic knife-type blades that can actually, with a press of a certain button, can transform into fire dust-reinforced, dual-wield pistols if heavier firepower is required. He is a part of Team DRGN(Composed of other members Richard Dawkin, Gabriella Cilmiki, and Nicole “Nic” Sherzik.).

Darian’s aura color is a reddish-orange, and is flame-like in appearance, and can be used to quickly heal minor wounds. In his case, his aura is said by Gabriella Cilmiki to have an effect of inputting into Darian’s weapons, increasing their length to almost sword-like and increasing power (in former ballistic knife form) or changing them into SMG-type guns (former pistol form) temporarily. However, this slows Darian’s movement speed down in exchange for attack, so although Darian’s weaponry gets stronger, the wielder himself’s agility and momentum lowers. His final ability with his aura is to increase his speed tremendously, leaving a red streak in the air wherever he goes. However, he is still much slower than Ruby Rose’s speed semblance, and after using this aura-based ability, it leaves him extremely tired and weakened. Another weakness is as he gets faster, his physical attack lowers to a certain degree.

Extra Notes:
 * Darian’s favorite food is garlic bread, he is almost borderline obsessed with it.
 * He is actually based off Marvel Comic’s Spider-Man personality-wise.
 * His favorite song is “S.C.A.V.A.” by Hollywood Undead. He also likes the band Fall Out Boy.
