Orman Icine

Background
Icten was born in a village on a tropical island off the coast of Vacuo, considered to be a paradise in an otherwise desert land and home to a large Dust mine. Doctors were able to determine from early readings that his Aura was, and still is, highly unbalanced in that while it offers abnormally heightened senses and physical defense as well as being easier to manifest, it leaves his emotional and mental state highly unstable. As Icten grew, his interest in the world on the mainland also grew. Always excited to explore his home and go on adventures, yet never leaving the island, he grew restless, reading about the creatures that threatened the kingdoms, and those that fought them, and hoped to one day go into the world and become that which he idolized.

When Icten was 10 years old, and he had begun to train to enroll in combat school, tragedy struck. The White Fang, fresh from the change in management, attacked the largely human population of the island, rounding up groups of villagers and executing them. As Icten hid in a cave covered in vines, he witnessed his parents' execution at the hands of the leader of the raiding party. His cries of grief were heard, and as the leader raised his weapon, the emotional stress became to much for Icten's fragile mind, and he snapped, his Aura and Semblance finally manifesting themselves. In a crazed fit of anger, Icten used his Semblance to suffocate the leader and his men by filling their lungs with dust and sand, after which he proceeded to faint. His parents dead and home destroyed, Icten moved to the mainland of Vacuo, where he became more introverted and socially withdrawn, and continued to train for the school under the guidance of his adopted father and mother. He was accepted into combat school at 13, and after designing and forging his weapon Tsuru and Suingu and graduating, he was accepted into Beacon Academy at 17 for his agility, improvisation in combat, and high Aura levels, where he became a member of Team VINE.
